The state banquet to welcome Yi Zhixie's visit was held as scheduled.
Before the banquet began, as usual, a Jiaodong opera performance, which was the favorite of the Han Dynasty officials and princes, was held.
The so-called Jiaodian Opera, also known as Baixi among the people, is a collective name for various acrobatics and primitive dramas.
Its origin may have started in the middle of the Warring States Period, but there are clear written records of Jiaodong Opera performances during the reign of Qin II.
The wrestling show has developed to the present and has formed a variety of events including wrestling, acrobatics, drama and archery.
There is one project among them that is very popular among both the people and the royal family.
This is the Chi You Opera, the first drama in Chinese history.
Chi You's opera can be simple or complex.
If one or two people can act, so can one or two hundred people.
Moreover, the materials required are very simple.
Even a poor person can just find a few animal horns and start a show.
The rules are also very simple.
That is, if the horns are equal to each other, the stronger one wins.
The script is simpler, it is a reenactment of the ancient battle between the Yellow Emperor and Xuanyuan.
This drama doesn't even have lines, setting or background, it all depends on the actors' self-expression.
Even so, Chi You Opera is still the most popular project among the 100 operas.
Some princes and ministers are even masters of Chiyou opera themselves.
Don't be surprised.
Because, in fact, Chi You Opera is not only a drama, it is also a competitive sport.
It has referees to decide the outcome...
This is very in line with the taste of Han people.
Today, Chi You Opera is the second most popular sport in Guanzhong, after Cuju, and its ranking is even higher than cockfighting and dog fighting (playing chess).
To watch Chi You's play, you don't need to use your brain.
Don't pay attention to those exaggerated and contrived performances in drama performances and the story content that is completely inconsistent with three views, common sense, and logic.
Because, as the name of Chi You Opera suggests, the protagonist is the military leader Chi You.
The status of the military leader in the Han Dynasty was very high.
When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, came to control Chang'an, he first ordered the erection of the Chiyou Temple, and after he ascended the throne, the first god he worshiped and offered sacrifices to was also Chiyou.
In the consciousness of the Han people, Chi You, the leader of the army, is an out-and-out God of War. He can bless the army to victory and bestow blessings on the soldiers.
Naturally, the content of Chi You's opera also changed accordingly.
It is not surprising that Chi You's rivals and pursuers changed from Xuanyuan Huangdi to Xirong Guifang, even the Xiongnu, Lin Hu and so on.
Now, this is the Chiyou drama presented in the palace.
Several tall muscular men, wearing horns on their heads, use exaggerated body language to express the story content of the drama.
Then, several actors with disheveled hair playing Chi You's enemies appeared.
The dress and image of these people make it easy for people to recognize at a glance that they are actually "Huns" or "Yidis".
These actors used very exaggerated body language to tell how they acted recklessly and recklessly in China, and they were very proud and arrogant.
The strong man playing Chi You shouted and seemed to be trying to stop him.
In the end, a big war is about to break out.
Yi Zhixie and his members of the envoy watched this Chi You play. Although they did not understand the content of the play, they did not know the meaning of the play.
But one thing is certain.
In this play, the Han Dynasty people nakedly expressed their hostility to the Xiongnu.
Yi Zhi raised his head sideways and looked at the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had a peaceful face. He seemed to be addicted to drama, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
To be fair, at this time, he should stand up and safeguard the honor of the Xiongnu, regardless of whether the Xiongnu had any honor or not.
But Yi Zhixie discovered that he simply couldn't do this.
Because, he found that he no longer had the confidence to protest...
He couldn't even bear the slightest dissatisfaction from the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty.
"This is why the military officials wanted to send me to the Han Dynasty..." Yi Zhixie thought to himself: "What a good plan!"
There is no doubt that there must be many people in the mission who have received instructions from military ministers.
These people will definitely keep an eye on his every move.
What things have been done and what words have been said.
In this way, even if he can return to the Xiongnu, these will become evidence that he defected to the Han Dynasty and betrayed the Xiongnu!
In this way, even if Yi Zhixie returns to China alive, he will lose a lot of people's hearts.
A Luantang family who knelt down before the emperor of the Han Dynasty obviously could not become a Chanyu no matter what.
At this time, Yi Zhixie thought of his cousin Wuli who was killed by his men on the Wusun border.
At the beginning, he used a similar strategy to squeeze out the last bit of Wu Li's use value, and then killed him without hesitation to start a war.
Yi Zhixie once heard from Bank of China that there is a proverb among the Han people, which is that the snipe and the clam fight against each other and the fisherman gets the benefit.
Yi Zhixie now finally knew the meaning of this sentence.
However, even if he knew, Yi Zhixie had nothing to do.
If someone offends the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty and offends the other party, they have countless ways to kill themselves without anyone noticing.
And if you don't say a word, once you return to your country and are spread out, you will be in pain for the rest of your life.
Even the Hun nobles who were most loyal to him would waver in their stance, let alone those who were mostly just waiting and watching, hedging their bets.
The politics of the Xiongnu have always been extremely realistic.
At that time, Touman Shanyu was incompetent and stupid, so that the Huns were not only oppressed by the Donghu, but even the Linhu, Luhou, Loufan and other tribes dared to drink and call the Huns, humiliating them like dogs.
Therefore, Maodun Shanyu shot him dead.
In the Xiongnu, where even Chanyu was not allowed to be weak, no one would follow a timid nobleman.
In the past, present and future, the Huns will only surrender under the feet of the strong.
Like a pack of wolves on the prairie.
A pack of wolves can tolerate the wolf king being cruel, cold, ruthless and even taking over all the mating rights, but they will never accept a cowardly and irresponsible wolf king.
Once the wolf king shows such signs, the reaction of the wolf pack will be very direct and quickly expel or kill him!
Now, the problem before Yi Zhixie is that one is seeking death, and the other is chronic death.
This made Yi Zhixie a little restless, and the drama content, music, and dance in the palace aggravated his mood.
So, when the drama is about to reach the Gaohu Dynasty, it begins to advance.
Yi Zhi stood up obliquely and looked directly at the Han Emperor who was above him. He even ignored the diplomatic etiquette and said directly in the Xiongnu language: "The emperor has been trying to overthrow the Han Dynasty for decades.
Peace?"
Suddenly, there was silence in the palace.
Even the actors had the good sense to stop all their movements.
Of course Liu Che didn't understand the Xiongnu language, but Dahonglu did.
Gongsun Kunxie immediately stepped forward and translated Yi Zhixie's words to Liu Che.
After Liu Che heard this, he waved his hand and asked the actors in Chi You's opera to get down.
Then, Liu Che smiled and said to Yi Zhi: "Why did King Youguli say this? Of course I didn't mean that!"
Telling lies with open eyes is an essential skill in diplomacy.
Besides, this Chi You drama is no big deal!
Thirty years later, in order to quickly integrate into China, there were even Hun nobles and generals who took the initiative to play the role of enemies in Chi You's plays in the palace for the entertainment of civil and military officials and the emperor.
Faced with Liu Che's shamelessness, Yi Zhixie was so angry that she was almost speechless.
Liu Che said: "King Yougu Li, please be patient. There are great cultural differences between the Han and Hungarian countries. I remember that back then, Zhongxing said that he had a debate with the Han envoys about the differences between the Han and Hungarians.
There is talk about the Huns being vulgar and uncaring, and father and son Kunzhong living in the same house, similar to this situation. In the Xiongnu, it is a custom, but under my rule, it goes against the laws of human ethics. It is not allowed by nature, and it is despised by the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Behavior... Therefore, King Yougu Li please suspend his thunderous anger. Perhaps King Yougu Li has misunderstood?"
As soon as Liu Che said these words, all the Han ministers in the palace burst into laughter.
Yi Zhixie's face also became extremely embarrassed.
Although it is said that the custom of the Xiongnu is to despise the elderly and not support them. Except for the nobles, everyone else can die early as soon as they become old.
As for father and son Kunzhong, it is even more common for a large family to live in a tent.
The Huns didn't care at all if their wives committed adultery with their brothers.
As long as the blood of the child born can be guaranteed to be from his own clan, it will be fine.
Therefore, among the Huns, not only did the elder brother die, but the younger brother took over everything from the older brother. Even when the father died, it was also very common for the son to take over the father's wives and concubines.
The Xiongnu only valued the purity of their lineage. There was no difference between an elder brother's son and a younger brother's son.
Things like this are considered normal by people throughout the Xiongnu.
But the problem is, the feeling at the top is different.
Especially the royal family at the top of the pyramid.
People always have a sense of shame.
Just like the later generations of Americans in the 20th century, who complained every day that the Soviet Union was not universal, and Mao Zi also felt that he was not universal.
The royal family of the Xiongnu was almost the same as Maozi.
Of course they respect tradition, but what their neighbors say seems to make sense.
It's indeed a bit unethical for me to play like this.
Therefore, during the period of Laoshang Chanyu, the Mulan clan appeared in the Xiongnu.
From then on, the new Chanyu ascended the throne and would no longer accept his biological mother as his wife. Instead, he was called the Muyan clan and was given a lofty status.
Secondly, they began to build cities in Longcheng and other places to support the aging nobles.
But these changes are limited to the upper levels.
The people below are still the same as before and don't think anything is wrong.
In the middle and late stages of the development of the Xiongnu, its domestic aristocracy, especially the royal family, was actually not much different from the aristocracy of the Han Dynasty.
When Su Wu was shepherding sheep, he met King Yuqian, the younger brother of the Xiongnu Chanyu. The two of them even had a gentlemanly discussion about Chinese culture, each expressing his or her own opinions...
Not to mention Hu Hanxie, a Xiongnu Chanyu who is not only a Huns in appearance, but is Han from the inside out.
In the late Western Han Dynasty, the degree of taming and sinicization of the Huns was even more exaggerated than anyone imagined. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. The Chinese scholar-officials did not talk nonsense, but the Huns denounced them as rebellious officials and traitors...
Nowadays, although it is not so exaggerated.
But the Xiongnu nobles were also affected to a greater or lesser extent.
The only difference is how much.
Relatively speaking, Yizhixie received the most Sinicization influence among the entire Xiongnu royal family.
Therefore, Yi Zhixie's expression is also the most embarrassing.
It's like being swallowed alive by someone, but you can only grit your teeth and swallow it.
Liu Che, however, remained gentle.
Liu Che knows more or less how to cultivate and tame the leading party.
First of all, the first point is to undermine the other party's self-confidence and make him feel inferior to his own national culture and system.
As long as this feeling of inferiority arises, he will involuntarily fall into a trap specially designed for him, bring his own dry food, and think about problems in the interests of the Han family.
Aren’t the public-knowledge cent-leading parties on the Internet in later generations all readers of Heshangliu?
Liu Che had tried it on Zhao Hu and Luo Ying before, and the results were very good.
Especially Luo Ying. According to reports from Sixianyuan, Luo Ying has now completely become a supporter of Zhu Xia doctrine and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
The instructors at Sixianyuan made several attempts and clearly proved that this person would become a pioneer in China's national integration the next day.
Of course, there is absolutely no possibility of comparison between a thirteen-year-old child and an adult, especially an adult who has experienced the bloody events of a coup.
To deal with Yi Zhixie, you cannot use the same tactics as you dealt with Luo Ying.
Because his outlook on life, values and world view are basically fixed, and if he wants to change them, unless there is a major change that has not happened in three thousand years before his eyes, forcing him to change and adapt.
What's more, Liu Che's time was limited and it was impossible to transform Yi Zhixie into his lackey during his mission.
If Liu Che can do it.
That only proves two questions.
First, Liu Che is Yuri and can brainwash others mentally.
Second, Yi Zhixie is studying Gou Jian.
Therefore, Liu Che could only use another move to deal with Yi Zhixie.
This trick is...
Liu Che looked at Yi Zhixie, clapped his hands, and asked, "I heard that the biological father of King Yougu Li was the former King Youxian of your country?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall immediately condensed.
King Youxian, these three words in the Han Dynasty were equivalent to someone making a mockery in the crowd. Suddenly, countless eyes and eyes were focused on Yi Zhixie.
As the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu who was mainly responsible for planning and implementing the invasion of the Han Dynasty in the past twenty or thirty years, the dead King Youxian was the object of hatred and hostility among all classes in the Han Dynasty.
I don’t know how many people would like to eat their flesh, extract their bones, pull out their skin, and take their heads to sacrifice their ancestors who died at their hands.
Yi Zhixie's expression also showed some panic. He had naturally heard from Lu Tazhi, King of Donghu, about how high his father's hatred was within the Han Dynasty.
Originally, he thought that people in the Han Dynasty might not understand this.
But, now it seems that Lu Tazhi not only sold him a lot of information about the Han Dynasty without any scruples, he also sold all the information about the Huns to the Han Dynasty without any scruples and without any shame!
"Asshole!" Yi Zhixie cursed fiercely in her heart.
At this moment, he was in a dilemma.
He understood that once his identity was confirmed, it would be impossible for him to make a good impression in front of the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers.
When the time comes, if the king and his ministers use a little more strength, I am afraid that the young emperor of the Han Dynasty will be eager to take his head to show off his martial arts.
However, he could not deny it, not even his own identity.
The Huns value their lineage above all else.
Denying one’s biological father is tantamount to denying one’s own lineage, which is tantamount to committing suicide!
Yi Zhixie was stunned for a while, then nodded, looked at the Han ministers in the palace sternly, and said angrily: "The emperor is really well-informed, and the foreign minister is indeed the son of the late Youxian King of the Great Huns!"
At this moment, Yi Zhixie was fearless.
The worst case scenario is death!
only……
Emperor of the Han Dynasty, by killing me, you just followed the wishes of the military officials. There will be times when you will regret it in the future!
Liu Che showed a confused smile, clapped his hands and asked: "Is that so... I heard that the father of King Yougu Li was killed by the Chanyu of your country. Why is King Yougu Li still willing to become a vassal?"
This naked method of sowing discord may seem stupid, but in fact, it is the most effective and profitable of all methods of sowing discord.
For example, the British encouraged Neon to go to Brisbane and secretly instigated the Gallic Chicken to wrestle with Hans over Tunisia, both of which were very successful.
Of course, this is not Liu Che's purpose.
This is just a foreshadowing, intended to tell Yi Zhixie and at the same time send a message to the military officials: Ah, we all know about your uncle and nephew. The melon seed bench is in place and we are waiting to watch the show.
However, Yi Zhixie and Jun Chen had to show off their cards on this issue. They couldn't even continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
At the same time, release a smoke bomb to the military officials.
Military Minister, do you dare to bet that I have no private agreement with Yi Zhixie?
Do you want to bet that I have not reached a common alliance with Yi Zhixie?
Military minister, does he dare to bet?
Yi Zhixie's face suddenly became very beautiful.
He never dreamed that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would directly clarify the dark things that happened in private and put them on the table.
This is simply too despicable and shameless!
However, Yi Zhixie never knew that as an emperor, Liu Che's moral integrity had no lower limit.
I saw him make an exaggerated gesture of stroking his forehead with his hand, and sighed: "If I had known that you were Prince Youxian, I should not have traded with you! In the past two years, I, you, and the Wusun people have been private.
When I was doing business underneath, I thought I had made a friend, but I didn’t expect him to be the ‘son of an old friend’…”
Hearing this, Yi Zhixie couldn't even stand on her feet and almost wanted to spit a mouthful of blood directly into Liu Che's face.
I have seen people with no moral integrity, but Yi Zhixie has never seen such a lack of moral integrity.
This emperor of the Han Dynasty is really unreasonable!
In an understatement, he revealed everything about himself and the things he had done in private.
Yi Zhixie can guarantee that if he doesn't take immediate measures, these words will appear in the ears of military ministers in a month.
When the time comes, what awaits him is the end, death!
Based on the personality of the military minister, he will immediately and without hesitation completely wipe him and his tribe from this world. No one can stop him!
These eight words of "cheating inside and outside, plotting against evil" are enough to make the entire Xiongnu tribe speechless. (To be continued.)
