Chapter seven hundred and eighty second rivers and lakes night rain
In the huge Qinzheng Hall, the guards stood solemnly, and except for Li Qing's voice, everything was quiet.
The ministers of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied the Snow Clan envoy were even more nervous and did not dare to take a breath. His Majesty seemed to have changed his temper these days. The gentle and kind-hearted Majesty in the past was nowhere to be seen, and his temper became violent.
Hu Erhachi's dark face was covered with beads of sweat, and he was also frightened in his heart. His family's life was already difficult. If he offended the Han Dynasty and provoked the wrath of the Han Emperor, he was afraid that the entire family would be wiped out.
ah.
Lying on the ground, Hurhaci kowtowed repeatedly and did not dare to say a word.
When Su Lu entered the Qinzheng Hall, Li Qing's anger was gone. He sat down on the throne and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, Hurhaci, how can you give me an explanation and give me an explanation for Han?"
Hurhachi stopped kowtowing and fell on the ground, his voice helpless:
"Reporting to your majesty, the Foreign Minister clan originally came from the Northland. They look similar to the Slavic people. The language spoken among the clan is mostly Slavic from the Northland. In recent years, with the expansion of the Han Dynasty to the north, caravans have arrived at our place.
What I usually say has changed slightly."
"But compared with those Slavs from the Northern Principality, they are still very similar. It is not wrong for your subjects to mistake those people for my Slavs."
The guards brought a chair. Su Lu sat down on the chair and asked with a smile:
"Then you, Huerhachi, are here to plead guilty?"
Huerhachi shook his head like a rattle:
"Your Majesty Mingjian, this matter was not done by our Snow Clan, we cannot admit it."
"When we, the Snow Clan, left the North, we struggled to make ends meet, and finally established our roots in the extremely cold land of the North. We never thought about offending the imperial court or the Slavic Principality. Our clan is too small to dare to offend.
ah."
"Your Majesty Mingjian, we really don't dare."
Huerhachi kowtowed repeatedly, this time he really used force. After a while, blood came out of his forehead, and his whole person became ferocious.
Li Qing looked at Su Lu, she didn't know what to do. According to Huerhaci, it was possible, but the Han Dynasty's mineral deposits were occupied, and there had to be some explanation for this matter.
Su Lu waved his hand, and the two guards stepped forward and pulled Huerhachi away.
"Hurhachi, life in the North is not easy. I think most of your people want to live a stable life. How about this, how about you move your whole family into our Han Kingdom?"
Huerhachi wiped the blood from his face, and now his face became even more frightening. He kept asking Su Lu:
"My lord, you... must have some additional conditions, right?"
Su Lu nodded:
"There is no free lunch in the world. If your Hurhaci clan is willing to guard the northern border of the Rouran Prairie and the Rouran Prairie bordering the northern border, I can make the decision and grant you a part of the clan."
Hurhachi stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement.
"Does the prince mean what he said?"
Li Qing snorted coldly:
"Your Majesty and I are one, so this statement is naturally true."
Hurhachi laughed loudly, with an excited expression, and punched his chest with both fists several times, which hurt even when he looked at it.
After finishing his excitement, Huerhachi knelt down heavily on the ground, crawling on all fours, and his whole body was pressed against the floor tiles of the hall.
"Hurhaci swears an oath on behalf of the whole clan that he will guard the northern border of Rouran of the Han Kingdom from generation to generation, prevent the Slavic Principality from going south, promote Chinese language and write Chinese characters in the clan, and obey the orders of the Han Dynasty court from generation to generation."
Su Lu and Li Qing looked at each other, and it seemed that the offer was a bit generous.
After retreating from the court and returning to the harem, Li Qing said to Su Lu with some regret:
"It seems that the conditions we have given are too good. Huerhachi seems to have received great benefits. Is there anything great in the northern border of Rouran Grassland?"
Su Lu shook his head, looked at the colorful flowers in the imperial garden, and said with a smile:
"The northern border of Rouran is a barren land. We originally thought it was an extremely cold place, but we didn't expect that there were Slavs in the north. Judging from the current situation, the Slavs have begun to move south because of the special gold."
"There is a permanent guard stationed there. It will be very difficult to supply food, grass and baggage. What's more important is recruiting soldiers. In a bitter cold place, it is difficult to retain soldiers, and this outpost in contact with the Slavs will be even more difficult.
There are guards willing to stay."
"Hurhachi is also a smart man. He knows how to implement Han politics within the tribe. He believes that with the stone rail line connecting them, trade will continue, and within a few decades, all the Snow people will become Han people."
"It not only increased the population, but also eliminated the sentinels in northern Xinjiang. It seems that the imperial court paid for a piece of grassland, but there was no one there. It has nothing to do with the contribution or not."
Li Qing looked confused. Although there was something wrong, it sounded like this.
The weather in summer changed very quickly. It was cloudless just now, but in the blink of an eye, the day became overcast. Thick clouds covered the sun, as if it had turned into a dark night.
"The wind has picked up, and there will be trouble in the world from now on."
Su Lu looked at the sky where raindrops were beginning to fall, and said in a deep voice. The Slavs intervened in the special gold veins in northern Xinjiang, which shows that they have used the special gold to a certain extent, and those people also understand Chinese. Here, there is a problem
It's even bigger.
There may be many sects in this world that are being used by the Slavs.
It rained continuously at night.
In the courtyard of Gaojiazhuang, Gao Dabao was both happy and a little unhappy.
My eldest brother is getting married, which is a happy thing. Being able to watch my eldest brother get married, I believe my parents should feel at ease.
But what makes me unhappy is that my wife, who has no success, is not as capable as a needle nose, but her temper can really pierce the sky. She has only been here for a few days, and she is always picky and picky. She dislikes this and that.
.
If it hadn't been for the fact that this was a happy day for everyone, I would have dealt with this woman a long time ago.
It's raining heavily outside, and inside the house there's a light like a bean.
On the table, there are four side dishes to go with wine, boiled peanuts, cold pig ears, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. They are all delicious and delicious dishes. A small pot of wine is prepared by the new sister-in-law, which makes it much more comfortable to eat.
"Drink one."
Gao Dashan raised his wine glass and said happily.
Gao Dabao raised the white porcelain cup and drank it clean. He wanted to chat with the eldest brother, but seeing how harmonious his eldest brother and his new sister-in-law were, he couldn't bear to bother him with his own affairs.
After a few glasses of wine, Gao Dabao felt a little overwhelmed. People feel refreshed when happy things happen, but when sad things happen, the wine breaks their hearts. Gao Dabao wants to get drunk.
"who?"
The new sister-in-law, who was preparing drinks and food by the door, suddenly scolded her and pointed the wide kitchen knife in her hand at the door.
The two brothers were stunned. What happened?
Gao Dashan wanted to show off his dignity as a husband and scold his wife, but he saw that his brother next to him had already stood up.
"Quacks!"
Gao Dabao was also a fierce general in the army in the past. He had gone through countless battles and his own kung fu was also very strong. He had already heard the chaotic footsteps breaking into the front yard mixed in the wind and rain.
The voice scolding someone for taking the name is so hard that it's hard not to hear it.
