Then, Huang Tingjing, Sun Shutong, Luan Bu, Zhuo Zhongkai, and Uncle Gong came out one after another and seconded the proposal.

Even with such good things and good ideas, there are still people who come out and say the opposite.

Yin Yun came out of the queue and said loudly: "King, the minister is against it!" My king is a dignified Chinese, how can the royal heirs be mixed with foreign blood! It is also forbidden to allow an heir of alien blood to inherit the throne. ”

Saying such things made Zhao Xie very unhappy, but he would not be angry about it, let alone affect his mood because of it, it was normal to have different opinions, anyway, everything was up to him.

Yin Yun was promoted when Chen Yu was in power, although there is no stain, but he is a mediocre talent, and it won't be long before Zhao Xie will find a reason to remove him.

Zhang Xing said: "Marrying Donghu and marrying Wei Fang is beneficial to the country." Yin Shangshu said that the issue of bloodline can be handled flexibly, and in the future, Wei Fang's heirs can not be established as princes. ”

Li Zuoche retorted: "Yin Shangshu is a school of nonsense, the Hu people came to defect to Da Zhao, and in the future, they will learn the civilized etiquette of China, speak the language of China, and wear Chinese clothes, they are assimilated Chinese people, and they are the new people of Zhao State." Yin Shangshu said that it is not conducive to making the Donghu people who come to vote submit, and it is not conducive to allowing more Hu people to vote. I, Wang Shengming, will never adopt such nonsense. ”

As the words fell, eight ministers spoke second.

On the huge political hall, there was silence, and the courtiers were waiting for King Zhao to make a decision.

Zhao Xie said: "Guangwujun's words are very much in line with the widow's intentions, so it's decided!" ”

He explained: "The minister is willing to be a matchmaker and go to propose marriage on behalf of my king." ”

Zhao Xie nodded and said, "There is Lao He Shilang, and the widow is waiting for good news." ”

Saibei grassland, the court of the Xiongnu king.

Lu Jia was brought here by the Huns.

He was ordered by Liu Bang to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, first arrived in Daiguo, on behalf of the country Zhang Cang received Liu Bang's order, found a person who knew the Xiongnu language, a little understanding of Saibei as Lu Jia's entourage, Lu Jia then from the Great Wall out of the fortress, into the vast grassland.

It was impossible for Lu Jia to find Mao Dun by himself, after he entered the grassland, he was captured by the Hun soldiers, and after explaining his identity, he asked the Hun soldiers to take him to see Shan Yu.

Since then, he has been escorted north by the Hun soldiers, and finally came to the royal court.

Because Lu Jia's identity as an envoy of the Han State was confirmed, Lu Jia and his entourage were settled down by the Xiongnu Prime Minister Zuo and arranged a place to stay.

Because Shan Yu hadn't come back yet, Lu Jia could only wait.

During the days when he lived in the royal court, Lu Jia knew everything about the Xiongnu as much as possible.

In addition to grazing, the Huns also had a small handicraft industry. The weapons they made themselves included not only wooden products such as bows and arrows, but also copper and iron weapons. It is said that some of the craftsmen were Chinese who were captured from the south.

In terms of clothing, unless there is cloth and silk from China, the Huns generally use animal clothes as clothes, and use animal fur to make trousers, boots, robes, pointed hats, hoods, etc., which are very suitable for the life of the grassland in terms of weight or warmth.

Lu Jia eats meat and cheese every day, which are the most commonly used foods of the Xiongnu.

During this time, horses, livestock, women, and children were constantly being driven to the royal court.

After understanding, it was learned that these were Donghu people, and they were all trophies like horses and livestock.

The powerful Donghu was defeated, and the Huns that Lu Jia came into contact with were generally proud.

Lu Jia waited in the royal court for ten days, and Mao Dun finally came back and was received.

In the Great Tent alone, Maudun and some of the ministers are here.

Lu Jia was brought in and met Mao Dun, and there was a man in his forties next to Mao Dun, who looked different from other Huns.

This person is Gongsun Shuo.

Mao Dun said a Xiongnu dialect that Lu Jia couldn't understand, and Gongsun next to him said, "The envoy of the Han Kingdom, what happened to you?" ”

As soon as he heard Gongsun say speak, Lu Jia knew from his accent that the other party was from the Yanzhao region, and he was neither humble nor arrogant: "If you defeat the Xiongnu alone, you will soon be able to sweep away other tribes in the grassland, which is an unprecedented great cause of the Xiongnu." ”

In fact, he did not have any good feelings for the Huns, and in order to facilitate the transaction, he had to say something that made the Huns feel comfortable.

Gongsun said that he translated the original words.

After hearing this, Mao Dun said angrily: "The envoy is right, the entire steppe will be the pasture of the Huns." ”

After listening to Gongsun Shuo's translated words, Lu Jia said again: "The larger the Xiongnu territory and the more population, the more materials will be needed. There were many materials that the Xiongnu could not make, and the Han State was willing to trade with the Xiongnu and use the Central Plains materials to exchange for war horses. ”

Gongsun said that while translating for Mao Dun, his brain was running rapidly at the same time, Liu Bang and Zhao Xie were mortal enemies, and this was something that could be used.

Mao Dun laughed out loud after hearing this, and said: "The materials that my Great Huns need, I only need to go to the south to plunder and have them, so why trade them with precious war horses!" ”

He is a man with brains, and he does not easily refuse Lu Jia, but he just wants to be majestic in front of the Han envoy and establish his status higher than Liu Bang.

The other courtiers also laughed, all of them were very angry, and they had contempt for Lu Jia.

Before Gongsun could say the translation, looking at the other party's reaction, Lu Jia's heart was already half cold, and with such an attitude, the hope of success was very slim.

Gongsun said that when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he hoped that the Xiongnu could unite with Liu Bang to deal with his great enemy, and immediately whispered a few words to Mao Dun.

Then, Gongsun said to Lu Jia again: "Han envoy, you go back to rest first, and then reply after a little consideration." ”

Lu Jia was taken out and returned to the felt tent where he lived. He thought to himself: Who is that Yandi accent? His attitude is obviously better than that of Maudun, why can this person become the person next to Maudun?

Shan Yu Da Tent, Mao Dun said to Gongsun: "I want to 'reject' Liu Bang, but you persuade me to think again, what is the reason? ”

Gongsun said: "Shan Yu, do you still remember the Qin State that unified the Central Plains and Meng Tian who fought against the Xiongnu? ”

Speaking of this, Mao Dun sighed, more than ten years ago Meng Tian fought the Xiongnu, when Mao Dun was just an adult, the Xiongnu was defeated in the battle with the Qin army, which became a pain in Mao Dun's heart.

I only heard Gongsun Shuo continue: "If the Central Plains is reunified, it will be tricky for Shan Yu to have a commander like Meng Tian. ”

Gongsun said a little hint, and Mao Dun understood the meaning, gave him a approving look, and said: "Prevent the reunification of the Central Plains, well said!" ”

Gongsun said: "Only the fragmented Central Plains are in line with the interests of the Xiongnu. At present, Xiang Yu is strong, and Shan Yu can join forces with Liu Bang. Zhao Xie can not be a life, receiving the Donghu people, this is obviously an enemy of the Xiongnu, Shan Yu can borrow Liu Bang's hand to attack it, if Liu Bang goes east, Shan Yu can send troops to attack Yandi, flanking Zhao State. ”

Hearing these words, Mao Dun's fierce gaze looked at Gongsun and said.

Gongsun said that when he came into contact with his gaze, his nerves couldn't help but tense, and Mao Dun was not comparable to King Donghu. King Donghu was arrogant, lacked aggressiveness and strategic vision, and his ability to command troops was far from that of Mao Dun.

Mao Dun is in the prime of life, ambitious, and strategic, and he is a heroic figure, not Gongsun said that he could be fooled.

Mao Dun said coldly: "You have a grudge against Zhao Xie and want to borrow my hand to get rid of Zhao Xie!" ”

Gongsun said that he didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence, how dare he deny his selfishness in front of Mao Dun.

Mao Dun said again: "If Liu Bang gets rid of Zhao Xie and seizes the land of northern China, Xiang Yu will turn into a disadvantage, which is not conducive to my Huns." If Liu Bang is willing to pay a lot of money, I can sell the war horse to Liu Bang, and it is impossible to send troops to attack Zhao Guo. ”

What he had to do next was to sweep the other tribes on the grassland and sell some horses to Liu Bang, in order to make Liu Bang better defend against Xiang Yu, and besides, he had a plan that he couldn't tell anyone.

Gongsun said that after taking refuge in Mao Dun, he showed a certain amount of intelligence during this time and won Mao Dun's respect, but Mao Dun himself has extraordinary ability, and it is impossible for him to lead him by the nose.

After waiting for more than an hour, Lu Jia was resummoned by Mao Dun.

Mao Dun said: "The king of Han wants to exchange the materials that the Xiongnu lack for horses, and this single Yu agreed!" It was decided to exchange 10,000 war horses with the King of Han. ”

Gongsun said that he handed Lu Jia a large piece of paper, which was a piece of paper seized from Donghu, and the paper contained a list of materials demanded by the Xiongnu.

Looking at the list on the paper, Lu Jia felt that it was too much, according to the value estimate, the materials listed on the paper could be exchanged for at least 20,000 Saibei horses. It seems that Mao Dun is self-sustaining and strong, and he feels that the king of Han has a request for him, so he opens his mouth.

Lu Jia was neither humble nor arrogant: "King Han sent me as an envoy in the hope of following a fair trade. The envoys had the courage to exchange at least fifteen,000 good horses for such a large quantity of goods. ”

Mao Dun said solemnly: "This matter is not negotiable, if the King of Han does not agree, he will give up." I still say the same thing: The materials that the Huns want can be seized by the south at any time. ”

Lu Jia had no choice but to report to King Han as soon as possible.

The matter has been discussed, and Lu Jia plans to leave for the south tomorrow.

At the beginning of the night, Gongsun said that he walked into the felt tent where Lu Jia lived.

Lu Jia waved at him and said, "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are from Yandi, and you dare to ask the surname Gao!" ”

Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, he could accompany Mao Dun, at least he was the person Mao Dun valued.

Gongsun said, "Please take a step to speak!" ”

Lu Jia followed him out of the felt tent and walked to the other side where no one was.

Immediately, Gongsun said: "That's right, I am a native of Yan State, surnamed Gongsun, and my name is said, and I was originally the county guard of Youbeiping County." At the beginning of the year, Zhao Xie sent troops to annex the Yan Kingdom, and my son died in the Yan Palace. My enmity with Zhao Xie is not shared. ”

When he said the last sentence, Gongsun said in a heavy tone, and there was a flame of hatred in his eyes.

Lu Jia was overjoyed in his heart, this is a good thing, and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, thank you for convincing Shan Yu to trade with the Han Kingdom." ”

was summoned by Mao Dun twice before and after, and the other party's attitude was completely different, probably because Gongsun said that he helped speak in front of Mao Dun.

Gongsun said that he did not deny it, and said: "I also hope that the Han army can defeat the Zhao army and get rid of Zhao Xie, the evil thief." ”

Lu Jia said: "Zhao Xie invaded Zhang Er's territory, and the King of Han is the co-lord of the princes in the world, so he naturally wants to seek justice for the princes and kings, and will never let go of Zhao Xie, a traitor." ”

Gongsun said: "If the King of Han is in need, I can help speak in front of Shan Yu." Shan Yu has a strategy, not that I can control it, this time I can only persuade Shan Yu to trade with the Han King, and nothing else can be done. ”

Lu Jia once again expressed his gratitude, and the fact that Mao Dun had Zhao Xie's big enemy by his side was a major discovery of this trip.

The next day, Mao Dun sent someone to take Lu Jia south.

——————

A few miles northwest of Xiangguo, the camp where the Donghu people lived, and there were Zhao soldiers stationed outside the village, and the life of more than 5,000 Donghu people in the village was orderly.

In the tent where Wei Fang lived, she sat on the toilet sent by He Xian and feceated, praising this invention for being wonderful, and even more praising King Zhao for having brains.

As soon as the poop was finished, the maid Xiao Tao walked in and told He Xi to come.

After Xiao Tao took the toilet away, He Yan entered the tent.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wei Fang thanked He Xian for his care, and then said: "He Shilang, the little girl just met the king yesterday, I don't know why I came here today?" ”

He explained: "Miss Wei, what do you think of King Zhao?" ”

Wei Fang felt that King Zhao was very good, and his words of praise in his answer almost lifted Zhao Xie to the sky.

He Yan said again: "Miss Wei, I wonder if you are willing to marry the king?" ”

"Ah......" Wei Fang was stunned for a moment, He Yan actually asked this question, and he was at a loss for a while.

He Yan continued: "I have come today to be a matchmaker for you and the king, and if Miss Wei is willing to marry the king, she will choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married. ”

In ancient times, marriage paid attention to the orders of parents, and the parties often had no right to choose, Wei Fang's father was no longer there, so it was reasonable to find his brother Jin Lun to discuss with him, but Zhao Xie asked He Xi to find Wei Fang, and she decided the marriage event.

Oh my! At this time, Wei Fang's heart was intertwined with surprise, joy, and disbelief.

Witnessing Wei Fang's reaction, He Yan already knew the answer, and said that this matter was too sudden, and he didn't rush to ask.

After a while, Wei Fang finally came back to his senses and said, "He Shilang, you are joking with the little girl!" ”

He replied, "No kidding, the king said that if you are willing to marry him, choose an auspicious day to marry." ”

Wei Fang said: "I... I do, I do! ”

He explained: "In this case, I will truthfully return to the king, choose a good day, and marry you to the palace with beautiful scenery." ”

After he went out, Wei Fang stayed on the spot, he couldn't believe that such a good thing would come, happiness came too suddenly, wasn't he dreaming? She pinched her thigh, it wasn't a dream, it was real.

On the other side of the camp, Jin Lun gathered dozens of the main dozens of more than 1,000 adult men to discuss whether to join the Zhao army.

In the meeting, some people were in favor and some were against, and Jin Lun did not make a final decision for a while.

As soon as the meeting ended, He Xianlai came to find Jin Lun.

Knowing that his sister was willing to marry King Zhao, Jin Lun was supportive, Donghu no longer existed, and if he was able to marry King Zhao, the remaining Donghu people would have a backer.

In the palace study, He Xian reported the situation to Zhao Xie that Wei Fang was willing to marry King Zhao, which was expected in itself.

He Xian proposed to hold a prosperous wedding, which was done for the Donghu people to see, and it was more conducive to winning the submission of the Donghu people.

Zhao Xie agreed, and let He Xian be in charge of handling the marriage.
