Chapter 107
Zhao Heng's anger made the ministers stunned, Zhao Heng is not a king who is happy and angry, but he is rarely so thunderous and angry, Shen Yi and Jiang Ke glanced at each other, Jiang Ke stepped forward to pick up the secret fold that was discarded by Zhao Heng on the ground, he is Zhao Heng's grandfather, and most of Zhao Heng's grandfather is more respectful. Jiang Ke spread the secret fold on the bookcase and read it with Shen Yi, and the two of them also changed their faces after reading it, and Jiang Ke silently handed the secret fold to Jiang Rin. Jiang Rin and Shen Yuan looked gloomy after reading the secret fold, they were not young anymore, and they would not scold like Zhao Heng.
The demands made by the Khan were insatiable, and he actually asked Daqin to assign Tuyuhun and a territory to the north to the Turks, and also demanded reparations, gold, grain and silk, and finally demanded a marriage between the two sides. And the high chariot that has been working against the Turks is much more normal, only asking for food and marriage. Marriage and indemnity are all conditions that everyone accepts from the beginning, but the land cutting is obviously beyond Zhao Heng's acceptable range.
"Let Cui Xian continue to talk to Datou, it's not okay to cut the land." Zhao Heng calmed down after a breath of anger, the time he needed now, food, money and things could be discussed, but it was definitely not possible to cut the land. As the emperor's seriously ill patient, how could Zhao Heng allow Daqin's territory to be lost from his hands.
"Gao Che's requirements-" Zhao Heng pondered for a moment, "Let's talk about it again, as long as it can be delayed." ”
What does the sage mean by this sentence that you can agree? The courtiers responded, and then talked in a low voice, and Jiang Ke picked up the pen to write a letter to Cui Xian.
"Who did the saint and his relatives choose this time?" A courtier asked, the princess of Tubo last time chose the daughter of the abolished king, but in the past few years, the daughters of the abolished king of Jing and the abolished king of Han have all been married by the former princess, and those who are not married are still young.
"Choose from Zhao Xiaogong." Zhao Heng said without thinking, anyway, Zhao Xiaogong's branch is not ready to keep people.
The official responded, even the princesses are hierarchical, and this kind of princesses who marry into the Turks are basically cannon fodder, and no one cares whether they are willing or not, whether they are the daughters of criminal ministers.
Zhao Heng walked out of the outer study with a calm face, and Shi Wenjing hurriedly followed, "Wulang, Jiuniang is in the inner study." ”
Zhao Heng's expression eased slightly when he heard this, and strode towards the inner study, in the study, Jiang Wei was lying on the couch for a nap, and there was a book on his body, Zhao Heng carefully removed her book, and lay sideways beside her, these days he was busy with political affairs, and when he went back every night, she was already asleep, and she hadn't taken a good look at her for a long time, Zhao Heng lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Jiang Wei felt the familiar breath and subconsciously approached, Zhao Heng smiled slightly, helped her adjust a comfortable position, and he also lay down to rest together.
Jiang Wei usually takes a nap for about an hour, and has long formed a fixed biological clock over the years, and when she woke up, she felt that someone was holding her, and she subconsciously buried her face in the arms of the person who rubbed it.
Zhao Heng didn't sleep as much as Jiang Wei, but he woke up after closing his eyes for a while, but he didn't bother to move when the nephrite warm fragrance was in his arms, and he couldn't help but smile when he felt her rubbing, and got up with his arms around her, "Awake?" ”
"Hmm." Jiang Wei's eyes were out of focus, obviously not fully awake.
Zhao Heng had long been accustomed to her confusion, so he got up and asked the palace maid to serve her and dress, and when Jiang Wei came back to his senses after changing his clothes, he rubbed into Zhao Heng's arms again, although they met every day, they hadn't spoken well for a long time.
"Do you want to go horseback riding?" Zhao Heng asked.
"Now?" The weather has turned colder, and Zhao Heng doesn't let her ride horses much anymore, and she usually exercises indoors and boxs.
"Yes." Zhao Heng bowed.
"Okay." It is rare for Zhao Hengken to agree to ride a horse in this weather, Jiang Wei begged for it, and she has not exercised for several days during this time.
The horses of the two are pure-blooded Dawan horses, one white and one gold, tall and fit, and the speed is almost exactly the same when they gallop side by side, and the guards behind them have given up racing with the emperor and queen, and besides, the saint will not like them to always follow the two of them.
The feeling of galloping will make people feel very good, and Zhao Heng had a shallow smile on his face after galloping for a while, "Brother, do you have something on your mind?" Jiang Wei rode into Zhao Heng's side.
"Weiwei, believe it or not, I'll take you to Jiankang one day?" Zhao Heng asked suddenly.
"Faith." Jiang Wei said without thinking.
Zhao Heng looked at Jiang Wei with blazing eyes.
"Nan Chen is our territory, we will always recover it." Jiang Wei said as a matter of course.
"Haha-" Zhao Heng listened to his wife's words, he first chuckled, and then laughed loudly, he stretched out his hand and let Jiang Wei sit beside him, "Weiwei-"
"I'm your baby, right?" Jiang wrinkled his nose slightly, "Brother, you have to change your sweet words next time, don't keep saying this." "Sweet words also need to keep up with the times.
"It's me who is not good." Zhao Heng rubbed her cheek affectionately with the tip of his nose, his eyes were full of smiles, and it was good to have a slight presence.
"Brother, is it difficult to fight the Turks?" Jiang asked slightly.
"It's fine." Zhao Heng patted her on the back, "The Turkic cavalry is much better than ours. Speaking of this, Zhao Hengyou deeply hated the old man for leaving a mess for himself, if he hadn't said all day long that the war would hurt the peace of the heavens, and he would have been tolerant of all the border countries, and he would not fight all year round, so that he would have raised a bunch of moths, and the soldiers defending the city in many places would not even have the power to fight back against the Turkic cavalry.
"Because of the army?" Jiang Wei said clearly, she had long felt that it was too unscientific for the Quartet to protect the princes of the mansion and inherit their father's business, and the army cultivated in this way would listen to the emperor or the private soldiers of the four families? Not to mention that the army is still the easiest place to breed, so when Zhao Heng was rectifying the capital to protect the mansion, Jiang Wei raised his hands in favor, even if the Jiang family was in charge of one side of the military power. It is said that the army and the rule of officials are also inevitable, and the slow rectification is that Daqin has been comfortable for too long.
"Datou Khan asked us to give the Turks a piece of Tuyuhun and the Mongolian steppe." Zhao Heng said in a low voice: "Take the Great Wall as the dividing line." ”
"They want to pay compensation for the land?" Jiang asked with wide eyes.
"Yes." Zhao Heng looked at his wife's eyes flashing with murderous aura, and his mood suddenly improved, what kind of amazing words did he want to say slightly? Zhao Heng thought for a long time that Weiwei was not only his baby, but also his pistachio.
"No way!" Jiang Wei really didn't think Zhao Heng expected to blow up, "If you want to be a great monarch, you have to do three no's!" "Jiang Wei likes history, but what she doesn't like the most is the history of the country being invaded by foreign countries and only being able to cede land and pay reparations, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty to modern times, Jiang Wei fantasizes every time she sees it there If someone crosses to change history, now this country is her and her brother's, how can she allow the country to lose territory in her own hands.
"Which three?" Zhao Heng was very cooperative, waiting for his wife to open his eyes.
"No land, no compensation, no harmony!" Jiang Wei said aggressively, "Isn't it just a Turk?" I don't believe that cavalry can be stronger than gunpowder! If they don't obey, we'll blow them up! They don't have a capital city and a station, do they? Send people to blow them up, loot them, and burn them all! Without food, I see how arrogant they are! ”
"Ha Lu Ha-" Zhao Heng was in a good mood when he heard Jiang Wei's "three noes" and "three lights", and his laughter was loud.
Shi Wenjing and the guards stood far away and felt relieved, sure enough, Wulang and Jiuniang would be in a good mood together.
Jiang Weifeng looked at Zhao Heng with dissatisfaction, was what she said funny? She said it so passionately, he didn't feel it at all?
Zhao Heng looked at her with pity, hugged her and kissed her for a long time, and muttered: "Weiwei, you are mine-" Jiang Wei pricked up his ears and wanted to hear the last few words, but Zhao Heng didn't say it, but kissed her all at once.
Jiang Wei muttered a few times dissatisfied, still leaning on his arms, Zhao Heng patted her on the back, "You're right, one day I won't cut my land, pay compensation, or get married." ”
"Brother take your time, we are still young and have a lifetime." Jiang Wei raised his head and said to Zhao Heng.
"Yes, we've got a lifetime." Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled, full of spirit.
Jiang smiled and looked at Zhao Heng's high-spirited appearance, sure enough, a man with pursuit and dedication is the most handsome.
When the two returned, the two rode together and walked back to the palace slowly, Zhao Heng told her about the current situation in the northwest, the Turks claimed to be a million coalition troops and did not blow out, they gathered about 550,000 troops in the west, and about 450,000 troops in the north, although the first invasion was not completely successful, but there were many places that were swept by them, Zhao Heng needed time most now, so he ordered Cui Xian to negotiate with Datou Khan.
"So you want Ah Xi to come from the west to support the north?" Jiang Wei suddenly said, "Is it going directly into their lair?" Jiang Wei didn't understand war, but what Zhao Heng said to herself was so simple and easy to understand, she still understood Zhao Heng's plan.
"Yes." Zhao Heng patted her on the back, "Your cousin blocked the first attack, not necessarily the second one, they may besiege Chang'an, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid, if they dare to come to Chang'an, I will blow them up!" Jiang Wei clenched his little fist and said angrily, "Avenge my cousin!" She didn't dare to say a word, for fear of being taught a lesson by Zhao Heng, and she would die together. At present, gunpowder is only available in Anxi and Beijing, not that they deliberately conceal it, but that they have just studied gunpowder, and the production process of gunpowder is troublesome and costly, and Zhao Heng has ordered people to work overtime day and night to make this secret weapon.
Zhao Heng tugged at her little nose, "Don't worry, I will definitely help your cousin avenge." ”
"I want that Datou Khan to cut it with a thousand cuts." Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I want to shave the flesh on his hands and feet." "Let him double the pain that his cousin has suffered, and the soul of someone in the second is burning again.
"Okay." Zhao Heng looked at his wife with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
The Anxi Turkic Khanate and the Tubo coalition troops were temporarily stationed, and the Tubo king Sun Langri sat in the tent holding a history book of the Han nationality and read it with relish, he had been learning Chinese with the Han people since he was a child, and he could skillfully read the Han classics, this book was still his trophy this time, and it was snatched from the study of a rich Han family. He married Princess Qin two years ago, he knew that his wife was not a real princess, not even a daughter, because her father was a degraded king of dethronement, but he didn't care, he married Princess Qin for those craftsmen and skills of Daqin, but when he welcomed his wife into Tubo to count her dowry, he found that her dowry was very rich, and there was even a pearl shirt that could be called a rare treasure, but these were not what he wanted, he didn't have any books and craftsmen, all of them were useless poems and songs, and winemaking. What is the use of a person who learns manners?
"Wang Sun." Gar lifted the curtain and entered, and when he saw that Lang Ri was still reading, he asked in surprise, "Aren't you resting?" I have to go tomorrow. ”
Lang Ri put down the scroll, "It's still early, don't rush this moment." "The Turks suffered a big loss at the Anxi capital to protect Lin Xi, and urgently recruited them to come over to support, "I heard that Lin Xi has a weapon like Tianlei?" ”
Hearing Wang Sun mention such a weapon, Gal eyes flashed with melancholy, "Wang Sun, do we really want to join forces with the Turks?" ”
Lang Ri raised his eyebrows and looked at Gar, "Why did the prime minister say this?" ”
Gar said: "I'm worried that if the news ahead is true, our chances of winning are not very good. ”
"Are you worried about weapons that claim to be like the thunder of the Nine Heavens?" Lang Ri asked.
"Yes, such a weapon was given by the gods, right? They even have such weapons, and no matter how brave our sergeants are, they are flesh and blood. Gar said worriedly.
"If it was really given by the gods, Lin Xi would have called us without us." Lang Ri smiled, he never believed in God, he only believed in himself, "I have already sent someone to ask, he does not have many opportunities to use that weapon, it can be seen that the weapon is not common, we still have a chance to win." ”
Gar looked at Wang Sun without saying anything, "Why do we want to agree to the Turks at this time?" He has always opposed the sending of troops by Tibet, "We can wait a few more years, or wait for both the Turks and the Qin state to lose." ”
"Lose-lose?" Lang Ri sneered, "Great Minister, now is the best time to attack the Qin Dynasty, if you miss this opportunity, then next time, maybe you can only count on Zhao Heng to die early." ”
"What did Wang Sun say about this?" Gar was puzzled.
"How about looking at this Mo knife?" Lang Ri drew a saber that he had taken from the Great Qin Sergeant.
"Excellent, it's what the Qin people said about 100 steelmaking." Gardao.
"We don't know the art of steelmaking, but the Turks used to be Rouran's forging slaves, and an old Turkic craftsman told me that this kind of steelmaking requires a blacksmith to beat it more than 100 times repeatedly to get it, and even the Qin people only have it in the hands of officers." Lang Ri Road.
"But—" Gar is not a fool, listening to Lang Ri say this, he somewhat understood what Wang Sun meant, he felt a little dry, as far as the sergeants they had encountered so far almost every one of them had one such weapon.
"The Qin people have a new way to forge weapons." Lang said in a low tone, "There are also those Nine Heavens Divine Thunder-like weapons used by Anxi, these all appeared after Zhao Heng took power. Minister, do you remember what we saw when we went to Chang'an? It was Ah Gong who traveled back and forth between the two places that shocked the changes in Chang'an. ”
Gar was silent.
"Daqin is changing too fast, and Zhao Heng has too many things to master, it is difficult to cut down a towering tree, but what if this tree is still a sapling?" Lang Ri looked at the jumping flames, "We have given Zhao Heng a three-year development opportunity, we can't wait any longer, if we can't seize this opportunity, when Zhao Heng's wings are completely grown, it will be the end of our Tubo." He also thought about letting the Turks and Qin lose both and he would reap the benefits of the fisherman, but unfortunately Tubo is still too weak now, and the Turks and the Qin State are completely incomparable. The only thing he could do was to help the Turks inflict heavy losses on the Qin state and make the two countries hostile again, so that there would be time for Tibet to develop. Now that Qin's domestic and external troubles continue to occur one after another, if you don't grasp this kind of opportunity, do you still expect God to give you another chance next year? Zhao Heng can't be given another chance to grow.
Gar finally understood why Zampu insisted on supporting Wang Sun's proposal to unite with the Turks, "Wang Sun is what I think is wrong. He sneered.
Lang Ri looked at Gar with a smile, "What's wrong with the big picture?" ”
"I—" Gar didn't dare answer.
"The Central Plains is indeed a vast land, a comfortable life, and many beauties, so we have to enter the Central Plains." Lang Ri thought about the majestic city wall of Chang'an, the first time he saw such a tall city wall made of blue bricks in his life, as well as the fertile land, rich water sources, and even the women of the Central Plains were so beautiful...... Why do you let the Qin people enjoy it so naturally? Zhao Heng is just a child who has not experienced wind and rain, he can master the Central Plains, what is he not doing? Lang Ri's ambition has been swelling since he came back from the Central Plains, and he has always hoped that he can one day be stationed in that Jianzhang Palace and completely replace Zhao Heng's position, but now-Lang Ri looked down at the book, everything needs to be taken slowly, "Go back and rest, the prime minister will leave early tomorrow morning." Lang Ri said lightly.
"Yes." Gar saluted Langri and stepped back.
In the big tent of Anxi Datou Khan, Datou Khan squinted his eyes and looked at the conditions of the peace sent by Cui Xian, he is fifty-six years old this year, his body is fat, his head is smooth, a pair of small eyes seem to be squinting all day long, and he looks like an ordinary old Turkic person, but the people who used to think so about him are now higher than the tombstone on the grave. Those who are familiar with the Datou Khan call this man a poisonous wolf, he is an out-and-out steppe wolf, lurking in the shadows at any time to attack when people are unprepared, and digesting everything he eats can be digested, and all that is left is some useless residue.
Cui Xian has followed his father for many years, and he is also fifty-two this year, and he is the leader of the Cui clan in Qinghe, which can be described as a scheming and calculating, otherwise he would not let Zhao Heng point out as an envoy, but he still didn't dare to be careless when facing the head.
"Cui Shilang, are you unwilling to give me Tuyuhun?" Datou Khan spoke fluent Chinese, and he was also the most fluent among the Turkic khans, and it is said that this person's Chinese writing skills were not bad, which did not match his rough appearance at all. Tuyuhun was destroyed by the Turks, but the Turks did not occupy Tuyuhun for long before they were defeated by the soldiers sent by Lin Xi.
"Khan, the king of Tuyuhun has been married to our dynasty for generations, and he is the concubine of our dynasty, and he has always been loyal to our dynasty. Cui Xian said with a smile.
Datou Khan grinned, "It's really advantageous to be the concubine of your Qin State, and I was beaten away, and my father-in-law and brother-in-law helped me fight back." ”
"I've always been honest with people." Cui Xian's face did not change his color.
"Then who is this blessed king? I remember that Emperor Qin currently has no heirs, only two brothers, King Xiang and King Ji, and no brother named King Fu, right? Datou Khan asked.
"Back to the Khan, King Fu's father is the twenty-third son of our first emperor, is the brother of the Emperor, noble and has not yet married a wife, our saint heard that this time and the princess is the Khan's daughter, so he chose King Fu to marry the princess, after all, King Xiang and King Ji have already married, and they dare not snub the princess of your country."
Datou Khan sneered, "Since Princess Zhilu Dao is the eldest daughter of our Khan, what else do you dare to use as a blessing king?" The grandson of the first emperor, why don't you say that he is still the grandson of your ancestor! ”
Cui Xian's face changed slightly, but he still asked, "Who is the princess's husband more than the Khan?" "This princess is indeed the eldest daughter born to the first Turki Khan, only thirteen years old this year, but the Turks and the Qin people are different, the Qin people monogamy, the Turkic polygamy, as long as the Khan is willing to set up more than one clan, not to mention that this clan was born in general, and the daughter died after giving birth. The Turkic princess was originally not as good as an ordinary noble girl in Daqin, and this princess lost her mother, and she was equivalent to a maid in the Turkic royal family, and Cui Xian also felt that it was too much for King Fu to marry such a wife.
Datou Khan didn't answer and asked, "Who is this Qingfu princess?" None of Emperor Qin's three unmarried sisters is called Qingfu, right? ”
Cui Xian stubbornly said: "The three princesses are still old, and this princess is the daughter of the sect. ”
"She's the daughter of a criminal minister, isn't it?" Datou Khan glared at Cui Xian, "Zhao Xiaogong is about to be killed by you, and you still take a sinner girl to make up for it!" ”
Cui Xiandao: "The sage is benevolent, saying that the Duke of Junyang County is just a moment of confusion, he does not want to kill the Duke of Junyang County, and he has no intention of taking the title." "As a powerful minister, telling nonsense without changing his face is the basic skill.
"Cui Xian, you treat me as a fool!" Datou Khan was furious and grabbed Cui Xian's collar, "We will marry the Khan's son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and you will take these things that can't be put on the table!" ”
Cui Xian's face changed greatly, "Khan, please be cautious, we are sincere in marrying your country." "What kind of concubines and daughters-in-law are things that can't be put on the table, if it weren't for this special moment, they wouldn't even be able to look down on being concubines and facing the capital, let alone getting married.
"Sincerity? What sincerity do you have? Datou Khan roared.
"How sincere the Khan wants." Cui Xian asked.
"I heard that back then, your ancestor personally asked the princess to marry the princess?" Datou Khan said with a smile.
What kind of person is Cui Xian, as soon as Datou Khan said it, he understood what he meant, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched, "Please make it clear to the Khan." "Taizu did ask to marry Princess Rouran back then, but that was because Daqin and Nanchen and the tripartite confrontation, Daqin and North Korea were bounded by Hangu Pass, and Taizu united with Worm in order to deal with North Korea, and asked to marry Princess Worm, how is it possible now? The Jiang family was the first to refuse! Their 150,000 troops can't defeat Jiang Jing, these barbarians really think that they are afraid of them! Cui Xian deeply suspected that this person did not have the sincerity to negotiate peace with them at all, otherwise how could he mention such an unbelievable condition, which was even more impossible than the compensation for land cession.
"Our princess is the eldest daughter of the Khan, and her status is noble, and no one is worthy of her except Emperor Qin!" Datou Khan ignored Cui Xiantieqing's expression and cut the railway.
The author has something to say: worm is soft
Poor Zhao Heng was molested
Weiwei, do people want your husband to sell his body and be swollen?
Weiwei: Blow him up! Burn him!
