Chapter 385
Seeing that the dragon guards were clearly armored and all of them were powerful, those Khan people restrained their previous contempt a little, and their actions were not as arrogant as they were at the beginning.
However, this incident slapped the emperor in the face anyway.
Even if Wen Zhong won a few beautiful battles, in the end, it was just to retake the city, and it was not so nice to say. On the other hand, the Khan Khanate captured ten cities in a row and marched under the city. At that time, if Ezhou was lost again, Hangu Pass fell, and if the main gate of the Central Plains was opened, the Han Dynasty would face a real war at that time.
Under such circumstances, the arrogance of the Khan envoys is understandable. However, under the condition of weighing the forces of all parties, the Holy Lords have to take a defensive position and cannot be tough at all.
In addition, Xiao Changyuan, the great prince of Naqi Khan, acted very thoughtfully, and immediately entered the palace to apologize after the incident, and he flogged the soldiers, and gave away silver taels, and his posture was extremely low.
So, the emperor, who was slapped in the face in vain, blocked his chest in one breath, vomited and swallowed, and did not come to the court the next day.
The courtiers also found this matter tricky.
If this matter is not handled well, it may escalate into a diplomatic incident, but it will be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. And the calm that the north-west border has managed to restore with great difficulty may also be broken.
Today's Han Dynasty does not have much strength to fight a war.
Liu Jian, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, witnessed the heavy squeeze and persecution of the central court by the clan of the gate lord when he was the first emperor. He is more aware of the danger of his relatives. Therefore, since his accession to the throne, he has been desperately suppressing the forces of his relatives on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has focused on dispersing military power, trying to trap the British king in the capital and empty his influence in the northwest; On the other hand, for those hidden in the army, the emperor also spared no effort to exert means.
Therefore, today's Han Dynasty does not have a figure who is deeply trusted by the emperor and can command the three armies at the same time. While the forces in the military were scattered, they also fell into a vicious circle of passing the buck and tilting each other. The north-western frontier was lost one after another. is the best example of this.
The Great Han Dynasty at this time. It is only advisable to be gentle, not to use force. In addition, if the Han Dynasty really had a bad relationship with the Khan, then the Jackal Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom might also move. It is also a great disadvantage to Dahan.
That's why the ministers find it tricky. On the one hand, it is necessary to save face for the saints of today. On the other hand, it cannot affect the overall situation. This is not easy.
Although Fu Jun did not know much about the government. But she still has the overall situation, and at this time she can't help but sigh in her heart: the enemy is currently coming, and the army is coming to the city, but the emperor is still thinking about balancing the forces of all parties. It's no wonder that the big man was beaten so badly.
The turmoil caused by the visit of the Khan delegation in Beijing subsided within a few days. On the fifth day of the visit of the Khan Mission, the women's department of Baishi Academy welcomed a distinguished foreign guest, Princess Mingzhu, the most favored sixth princess of the Khan Khanate.
This pearl princess's name is Xiao Hongzhu, and she is fifteen years old. Fu Jun once took a look at it from afar when the mission entered Beijing.
The Khan is not like the Han Dynasty, and there are not many taboos against women. When Xiao Hongzhu entered Beijing, she neither wore a curtain nor sat in the car, but rode on a horse like her brother Xiao Changyuan and swaggered into Beijing.
Although he only glanced at it from a distance, Fu Jun was very impressed by this West Asian beauty with a healthy body, three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes, and a full red lips. The most favored princess rode on a horse, her face was arrogant and coquettish, and the whip in her hand was raised from time to time, and she looked like she was directing the country and looking at the world, as if she regarded the capital of the Han Dynasty as her own territory, and she was the queen who patrolled the territory......
Now, this pearl princess deigned to come to Baishi Academy, it is said that she was to learn the etiquette of women in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, these are just pretexts. Fu Jun estimated that she came because she was curious about what the girls' academy was like.
Because I heard that this pearl princess is good at riding and archery and wrestling, in order to show respect, the academy specially transferred the class for one day, and at the request of the female official of the princess's mansion, the riding and archery class was transferred to the day of her visit.
When Xiao Hongzhu wore a red dress and entered the shooting range with eight maidservants and eight female guards, it immediately attracted the attention of the Baishi girls.
At that time, Lu You and Lu Yan and other girls with good riding skills were taking lessons in the riding shooting range. Naturally, this kind of open class is of a performance nature, in order to show the good teaching qualifications of the academy, like Fu Jun's mediocre riding skills, he can only stand on the edge of the venue and watch.
Xiao Hongzhu looked at the field from a distance, and at a glance saw Lu You, who was dressed in red and riding a horse heroically. So, she said to the master who accompanied her: "I didn't expect you to have such a sassy woman in the Central Plains. I thought you Central Plains women were all cowardly, and you only knew how to hide at home all day long. ”
She spoke fluently in the official dialect of the Han Dynasty, and her voice was never as soft as that of the women of the Han Dynasty, so this unceremonious words suddenly spread to the front.
Fu Jun frowned slightly when he heard this.
This Xiao Hongzhu is really direct when she speaks. However, Fu Jun's opinion of her is more than that.
Fang Cai's words sounded very rude, and it seemed that this Xiao Hongzhu was a reckless person, but when she spoke, the dark brown eyes that were deeply sunken in the eye sockets, the corners of the eyes quickly opened and closed, and the eyebrows were slightly raised. These two micro-expressions indicate that she did it on purpose.
Although I don't know what the intention is, it is obvious that this Pearl Princess is here to stir up trouble.
Lu You also heard Xiao Hongzhu's voice, she turned her eyes to look at the group of people standing next to her, raised her thin eyebrows slightly, and then kicked the horse's belly, and came to Xiao Hongzhu's front with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess has only been in the Han Dynasty for a few days, how do you know that there are no heroines in my Han Dynasty?" ”
When she said this, Lu You's red clothes fluttered in the wind, and her demeanor was handsome, just like the heroine she said. More than half of the girls who were standing had admiration in their hearts, and they only felt that Lu You's words were really fighting for the face of the women of the Han Dynasty.
Only Fu Jun felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Lu You's words were-for-tat, and Xiao Hongzhu didn't look angry, but only looked up at Lu You on the horse, and said with a smile: "Your riding skills are not bad." As she spoke, she reached out and stroked her sideburns, and when she put her hand down, she dropped a golden bell at her waist to the ground.
Xiao Hongzhu pointed to the bell on the ground and smiled at Lu You, "Pick it up for me." ”
Her voice was very crisp, and even the smile on her face was a little innocent and simple, but her actions were completely insulting, and she didn't take Lu You, a noble girl, seriously at all.
All the women looked at Xiao Hongzhu with surprise on their faces, and even everyone looked angry.
This pearl princess seems innocent and likable on the surface, who would have thought that she would act so perversely. actually asked the noble girl of the Han Dynasty to pick up things for her, is this treating the noble girl of the Han Dynasty as a lowly servant? (To be continued......)
