Strictly speaking, the Xiongnu did have a natural fear of the Han Dynasty. Without it, they were beaten too badly by the big men.

Not to mention, in recent decades, the Xiongnu do not know how many times they have been defeated by the hands of the Han Dynasty. But on the contrary, they did not change their thieving intentions, and often knocked on the border of the Han Dynasty, and never stopped violating the Han Dynasty.

Of course, they live in the desert steppe, and the difficulty of survival is also a major factor.

So, it's a very strange cycle.

That is, on the surface, the Xiongnu submitted to the Han Dynasty and were controlled by the Han court. The Han Dynasty sent military and horse officials to their places to set up imperial court officials, that is, Han officials such as envoys to protect the capital. And the Huns, they will also send protons to the Han in order to show their loyalty to the Han. In this way, I hope to get the help of Dahan.

In fact, the Han does give them some help every year, most of which is food and living materials.

This Yu Fuluo, strictly speaking, is actually equivalent to a proton.

These are the superficial relations between the Xiongnu and the Great Han. But secretly, the Huns will do what they should be, incarnated as robbers, broke into the territory of the Han Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, and did all kinds of evil.

On the Han side, there is nothing to be done in the face of such a situation. It can only be based on prevention. Of course, if you can catch the Hun thieves who are coming, you will not be polite to them, and you will directly fight with them, and even chase them into the desert grassland.

It's a pity that there are not too many such opportunities, because the Huns are basically cavalry, they come and go like the wind, and they plunder and leave. In recent years, the Han Dynasty has weakened and there are not many cavalry troops, so it is difficult to take advantage of the Hun cavalry.

What I want to talk about here is Lu Bu, the righteous son of Ding Yuan, who was too shou of Bingzhou, and it was in such an environment that he fought against those Hun thieves and played the prestige of General Fei.

The situation of the Han and Xiongnu is not unique, in fact, it is similar to that of other foreign races.

This also involves a relationship between the elimination and the rise of the other.

With the corruption of the Han dynasty, the Han dynasty gradually declined, and it became more and more unable to suppress those foreign nationalities.

Now this Yu Fuluo, he is in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, such a situation. He is learning the culture of the Han Dynasty, through learning, as well as his personal experience. He also saw the gradual weakening of the Great Han.

In this way, he thought that his opportunity had come. Or the opportunity for the rise of the Xiongnu has come.

Especially when he saw the Yellow Turban riots last year and the civil strife in Dahan, he was overjoyed. In this way, he began to promote some plans that were beneficial to him.

This Yu Fuluo is indeed a talent.

First of all, he knew very well that his Xiongnu was also unstable internally, and the various Xiongnu tribes were independent and disobedient to each other, and there were often melee battles between two or more Xiongnu tribes.

His father, King Qiangqu, although he was supported by the Han Dynasty and established himself as a Xiongnu Shan Yu, the rest of the Xiongnu tribes did not recognize it. Even, the Xiongnu tribes often conspired to attack his tribe with the intention of destroying him, the Xiongnu tribe.

If this continues, Yu Fuluo knows that it will be difficult for his Xiongnu to develop and grow, and it will be difficult to make a difference, and sooner or later it will have to die. Therefore, he hoped to unify the Xiongnu tribes.

And in order to do this, you must have strong strength.

For him, the strength of the Xiongnu tribe under his own tribe is like this, and it is impossible to rely on his own tribe to achieve the goal of unifying the Xiongnu. Then you have to help.

Although the Han Dynasty is declining day by day, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the rotten ship still has three catties of nails. Yu Fuluo thought of using the power of the Han Dynasty to unify the Xiongnu. As long as the Xiongnu are unified, then the strength will be strong. When the time comes, try to take Han land again.

Yu Fuluo believes that only in this way is the way out for the Huns.

How to get the Han to send troops to help him unify the Xiongnu, for this matter, Yu Fuluo really bothered his brains.

Until he met the princess of Wannian.

At this time, Yu Fuluo was already in his thirties, but after seeing Princess Wannian, he was unforgettable at first sight and had a crooked heart for Princess Wannian.

He knew his identity as a Hun person, and he was already much older than Princess Wannian relatively speaking. Theoretically, it is impossible for him and Princess Wannian to do so.

However, in history, the Xiongnu and the Han did have many marriages. The most famous and influential is naturally the original Wang Zhaojun.

With these examples as a foundation, Yu Fuluo felt that there was still some hope.

Of course, compared with before, the influence of the Xiongnu is extremely limited, and it is impossible to directly ask for a marriage with the Han Dynasty and marry a princess of Wannian.

This is for Fuluo, who does have a deep study of Han culture. During his time in Luoyang, he also had some knowledge of the Han court. He knew that those eunuchs in the Han Dynasty were basically insatiable guys, and as long as they gave enough benefits, then they could use them for themselves.

Although the influence of the Xiongnu is not as good as before, in terms of strength, it has never been too weak. At the very least, the Huns could recruit 180,000 cavalry at any time.

And these are where Yu Fuluo's confidence lies.

So, by using money to make a point, he got into a relationship with the ten permanent servants in the palace. Then with the 100,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu tribe as a lure, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants thought that if they could obtain Yu Fuluo for their own use and control the 100,000 cavalry of the Huns, then why should they be afraid of those powerful ministers and relatives?

These eunuchs in the palace, they have been trapped in the palace, and it is difficult for their hands to reach outside the palace. They have also always wanted to devote themselves to cultivating their own forces outside the palace. Like Wu Jin in Hanoi, it is an attempt by them to cultivate their own strength outside the palace.

Yu Fuluo gave enough benefits, and swore an oath and made a gesture, indicating that only they would obey their orders in the future.

It was under such circumstances that the eunuchs in the palace proposed to the emperor that under the pretext of being able to obtain the true return of the Huns and truly control the Xiongnu army, the emperor suggested that the emperor recruit Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Huns, as the concubine of the princess of Wannian.

In fact, in addition to these, various benefits were promised. For example, Yu Fuluo himself is extremely brave, and there are many capable people under him. The current Yufulo is already in the realm of second-rate military generals. He promised the eunuchs that they could actually do it for them if it was not convenient for them to do anything.

As for those eunuchs, the first thing they thought of was to use Yu Fuluo to kill Liu Xian first. This can be regarded as a vote of nomination, they said that if Yu Fuluo can kill Liu Xian according to their requirements, then they can really help him marry the princess of Wannian.

Those eunuchs also mentioned to the emperor that they could use Yu Fuluo to solve Liu Xian's problem.

In this way, the emperor felt that recruiting Fuluo as the concubine of the princess of Wannian was indeed a good and harmless thing.

Seriously, when those eunuchs proposed to the emperor, if the emperor was not so fond of the daughter of Princess Wannian, he would really agree.

But he has always doted on this daughter, and considering that Yu Fuluo is in his thirties, he is still a Hun. He felt that something was inappropriate. At the very least, he felt that he should ask for the opinion of his daughter, Princess Wannian. If Princess Wannian agrees with herself, then he naturally will not have an opinion, and he is happy to do so.

But then again, if Princess Wannian marries Yu Fuluo, she can get 100,000 or even more Hun cavalry for her own use, and the emperor is indeed extremely excited. Especially thinking that Yu Fuluo can solve the problem of Liu Xian, who is in his heart.

After asking Princess Wannian, Princess Wannian resolutely objected, so the emperor temporarily shelved the matter. However, as those eunuchs mentioned it from time to time, or Yu Fuluo could really solve Liu Xian's big problem and show the emperor his ability and strength, then the emperor would really agree.

In this era, the marriage of children in ordinary families is decided by their parents. Not to mention the royal family.

The king of a country can naturally decide the marriage of his children. And as long as the emperor Chrysostom opens and decrees, then the matter is a foregone conclusion. When the time comes, even if Princess Wannian doesn't want to marry, she can't help her, even if she is a princess, she can't help herself.

This is also the main reason why Princess Wannian is so anxious and wants to ask Liu Xian for help. Once the emperor decides, then things are irreparable.

"What to do? Marquis Wu Yong, is there anything you can do to help for 10,000 years? Empress He also began to worry about Princess Wannian.

"There must be a way. And there's more than one. Liu Xian was not in a hurry, and said calmly.

"Do you have a way? Tell me about it, people are dying now. Princess Wannian couldn't wait.

Empress He was also in good spirits and looked at Liu Xian.

Liu Xian smiled and said: "The simplest and most direct way, Princess Wannian will immediately find a colt you like now, it is best to cook the raw rice into rice, and then the queen mother will make it public, and agree to recruit that person as a colt." In this way, the emperor had no choice but to acquiesce to this, and would never let Princess Wannian marry the Xiongnu prince Yu Fuluo again. ”

Although the queen and the emperor are incompatible, the queen is also the mother of Princess Wannian in name, and she has the right to decide the choice of the horse for Princess Wannian. Of course, the key is to cook raw rice and mature rice, so that even if the emperor has an opinion, he can only acquiesce.

"Huh? Where do people go to find a favorite colt now? Also, What does this raw rice mean when cooked rice? Princess Wannian's face turned red and asked a little embarrassed.

Princess Wannian was shy because she said that she wanted to find a favorite colt, but it was not the raw rice. She's still a chick and really doesn't understand the meaning of that sentence.

Empress He glanced at Liu Xian, and turned to Princess Wannian and said, "Mu'er, don't care about the raw rice and cooked rice, just say if you have someone you like." If there is, then it's easy to do. The method that Wu Yonghou said is indeed the solution to the problem in front of you. Besides, Mu'er, you really need to find a colt. If you don't look for it, then today it is Yu Fuluo, and tomorrow it may be another person, and you can't escape this matter. When the time comes, once your father decides, no matter who it is, you will marry. ”

"But, but people really don't like it......" Princess Wannian was anxious.

"How could it not be? Didn't you say that many princes and children of small countries are in Luoyang, and they often ask you to play together? Besides, there are also many school-age children in the families of the ministers and magnates in Beijing, and some of them you should have seen and known, right? So many and not one likes it? ”

"No, no......"

"If you think about it again, if not, it means that you think it fits the eye, it is pleasing to the eye, and the other party's character is good. It's better for such a person to be a colt than for your father to just set a colt for you. "Queen He induced Princess Wannian to think about it.

"Eye-catching? A ...... that is pleasing to the eye This ......" Princess Wannian blinked her big eyes, as if she thought about it very carefully for a while, but still shook her head and said: "Queen Mother, it seems that there is really no one......"

However, when she said no, her eyes were fixed on Liu Xian's body, and then she subconsciously raised her hand and pointed, and said: "Queen Mother, if you insist on finding one, people think about it, and think that the one who fits the eye and sees it more pleasing to the eye is him." ”

Burst!

Liu Xiangang took a sip of the tea handed to him by Queen He, and when he heard this, he accidentally squirted out.

"Me?" Liu Xian pointed to himself and said in surprise.

"Him?" Empress He also pointed at Liu Xian in surprise.

"That's him, what's wrong with this......"

Princess Wannian said, her voice weakening a little.

"I can't ......"

"He can't ......"

Liu Xian and Empress He seemed to have a tacit understanding and said almost in unison.

"Huh? Why can't Brother Liu Xian? If you have to recruit a colt, they will recruit Liu Xian's brother as a colt. Princess Wannian didn't care about being shy, because she thought about it, and it seemed that only this Liu Xian would not disgust her, and it was pleasing to the eye.

"Forehead ......"

Liu Xian and He Huang glanced at each other, and each fell silent.

Of course Liu Xian can't do it, when Queen He thinks of her relationship with Liu Xian, if she lets Princess Wannian get involved, what will it become?

What's more, the most important thing is that Princess Wannian doesn't know that his father is eager to kill Liu Xian quickly, if she knows that she wants to recruit Liu Xian as a concubine? I'm afraid that even raw rice can't be cooked into rice.

"Brother Liu Xian, queen mother, how to cook raw rice into rice?" Princess Wannian didn't notice the expressions of Liu Xian and Queen He, and asked matter-of-factly.

"Ahem...... Liu Xian coughed embarrassedly and said, "That, this method is still forgotten." I think another one. ”

"Yes, let's talk about another way." Empress He also said.

"Hmm...... Let people think about it......" Liu Xian said: "If it really doesn't work, then delay." ”

"How to drag?"

"Pretending to be sick, you are sick, your father can't let you marry while sick, right?"

"No, it's not okay to pretend to be sick." Queen He shook her head and said: "There is a royal doctor in the palace, and you can see at a glance that Princess Wannian is pretending to be sick." ”

"Hey, this is no problem, I have a way to make Princess Wannian look as if she is seriously ill, even if it is diagnosed by the imperial doctor, I can't tell what kind of disease it is." Liu Xian thought of the effect of his Taiping True Qi, and it seemed that he could indeed do this.
