Chapter 9 Discussion of Harmony Matters at the Han Court
This game of chess is getting more and more fun. The Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu and other forces were involved.
Emperor Yuan asked Princess Yang'a: "Daughter, are you willing to marry the Xiongnu?" "No, father." Princess Yang Ah said coldly.
"Yang, my father gave you glory and wealth, shouldn't you share your worries for me?" Emperor Yuan asked rhetorically.
"Yes. I don't want to sacrifice my happiness, though. Princess Yang Ah protested.
"Your Majesty, there is a palace queen in the harem who is willing to marry Princess Yang'a to the Huns." Wang Zhengjun arrived.
"Who knows so much about righteousness? I want to see her. Emperor Yuan smiled.
"No need, Wang Yan is going to leave her hometown and go to the Xiongnu, blame the pitiful, I promise to give her a month's vacation and go home to visit relatives. Her father is General Wang Xiang. She has already returned home to visit her family. Wang Zhengjun explained.
"Mother, thank you so much." Princess Yang Ah said with a grin.
"No, how do I remember that Wang Zhaojun is the first ugly girl in the harem, with a straight body and a pockmarked face. If such a person marries Huhan Evil Shan Yu, wouldn't that be a humiliation to him? Emperor Yuan asked. The aesthetic standards of the Huns are different from those of our Han people. The Huns advocated mounted archery, and women were also strong in martial arts. Wang Zhaojun is a tiger girl, and Da Danyu will definitely like it. Wang Zhengjun quibbled.
"That's right." Emperor Yuan nodded.
On the side of King Huaiyang, when he heard that Emperor Yuan was going to send the queen of the palace Zhaojun to marry the Xiongnu, he almost didn't laugh off his big teeth: "Is Liu Zheng no one anymore?" Send such a palace maid to the Huns? If he has no daughter, he may lend him one. “
Zhang Bo said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to joke. Do you know who Wang Zhaojun is? “
"How does the widow know, isn't it just a palace maid that the emperor doesn't want? What is there to say? King Huaiyang asked.
"Your Highness, Wang Zhaojun is the daughter of General Wang Xiang. Moreover, Wang Zhaojun, I have seen it, looks like a country and a city. Your Highness, don't you think it's strange? Why hasn't she been favored by His Majesty for so many years? Zhang Bo asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty may be busy with state affairs." King Huaiyang guessed. "You don't know Liu Zheng either. Is he a man of statehood? He was deceived by the people below. The DPRK and China are very corrupt. Harem beauties need to look at the portrait first if they want to sleep. The court painter Mao Yanshou took the opportunity to accept the gift. Therefore, Fu Zhaoyi, Feng Zhaoyi, and Queen Wang all have a good relationship with Mao Yanshou, and they all gave Mao painters generous gifts at the beginning, so they can be selected. General Wang Xiang is an honest official, and Wang Zhaojun naturally has no money. “
"Liu Zheng is indeed a fool." King Huaiyang said with emotion.
The king of Chu is frying the pot over there. The king of Chu roared: "We were tricked by Liu Zheng. He deliberately spread the news to let us withdraw from the Chu State, and then let the palace maid marry Huhan Evil Shan Yu. Liu Zheng, the widow seems to have underestimated him. Immediately send troops to attack Chang'an. ”
"Your Highness, Mr. Yan Junping of Xishu asks to see you." Sangkook arrived.
"Is it the Great Confucian Yan Junping?" King Chu asked.
"Yes." Sangkook said.
Yan Junping walked in and said, "Does His Royal Highness the King of Chu want to be the emperor?" Lao Yu told you that the current gossip shows: Wang Mang usurped the Han, and Liu Xiu was prosperous. Your great-grandson can be emperor for a few years, but he will die at the hands of the Han army. ”
"Wang Mang, is it Wang Feng's nephew? Liu Xiumo is not Liu Xiang's son Liu Xin? The King of Chu asked. Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. Yan Junping said.
Speaking of the python spirit, he said to the eunuch Xiaolingzi: "At present, let Your Majesty mess with himself." As long as His Majesty knows Wang Zhaojun's beauty, he will blow it. The Xiongnu will invade, and the Han will perish ahead of schedule. I, the White Emperor family, will be able to enter the Han Dynasty. “
After Xiao Lingzi went back, he went to the palace and found Wang Zhaojun.
"Father-in-law, aren't you in the palace?" Wang Zhaojun asked.
"Miss Wang, I just have a few words to advise you." Xiao Lingzi said with a smile.
"You say." Wang Zhaojun said with a smile.
"Your Majesty just doesn't know your beauty. If I can tell Your Majesty about your beauty, Your Majesty will summon you as soon as you are summoned. You're at least Zhaoyi, maybe the queen. Xiao Lingzi smiled.
"Father-in-law, you can tell Your Majesty yourself. Why do you ask me? Wang Zhaojun said with a smile.
"Because only if you go to meet Your Majesty in person, Your Majesty will believe that the ugly lady of the court in the portrait is a stunning beauty." Xiao Lingzi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty just loves beauty. He has so many concubines that he has to choose a concubine every year. Corruption among officials is rampant, and he doesn't care at all. Such a majesty, what is the point of me being his queen? Wang Zhaojun said with a frown.
"You're bold. If I tell Your Majesty what you said, you and your relatives will blow it and you will go to prison. Xiao Lingzi said.
"My father-in-law won't. You hope that Wang Yan will get better. Wang Zhaojun said with a smile.
Xiao Lingzi thought to himself: I can't tell Your Majesty the truth, otherwise Wang Zhaojun won't be able to go to the Xiongnu. Staying in the palace, she can only be a dispensable concubine. Only by being close can there be a place for her to display her talents.
Xiao Lingzi didn't know how to explain to the python spirit, and after returning to the palace, he jumped into the river and committed suicide.
Emperor Yuan looked at Xiao Lingzi's corpse and cried, "Why can't you think about it?" I didn't treat you badly. “
Wang Zhengjun said on the side: "The concubine thinks that Xiao Lingzi should have some secrets, so that he has to die." ”
"Could it be that the King of Huaiyang and the King of Chu mobilized the army privately?" Emperor Yuan muttered to himself.
On the Xiongnu side, Hu Han Yeshan heard that Emperor Yuan was going to marry Wang Zhaojun to him, and he was complacent, but deliberately said: "Although Wang Zhaojun is beautiful, he is not a princess, he can only be regarded as a concubine." Your Majesty should still marry Princess Yang Ah to the Lone King. ”
Wang Feng asked: "Is Da Danyu's request too much?" "Is it excessive? Back then, Mao Dunshan Yu also asked Empress Lu to marry to Saibei? Can you Empress Dowager think about it? "Hu Han Xie Shan Yu is a little naughty. The Huns laughed.
After listening to Wang Feng's statement, Emperor Yuan said, "Wang Feng, why is your ability so poor? "Your Majesty, Hu Han Yedan's asking price is too high, and she even wants Her Majesty to pack Princess Yang'a and Princess Pingdu and give them to him. This is the tone of the son-in-law, it is simply a master. Wang Feng cried.
"I will give you another chance, to send an envoy to the Huns. If you can't make sense. I will remove you from office. Emperor Yuan said.
Wang Feng hung his head and left.
He saw that Mr. Liu Xiang was teaching Wang Mang to read the "Historical Records".
Liu Xiang said to Wang Mang: "What this paragraph says is that Han Gaozu sent Li Shiqi as an envoy to Qi to persuade Qi Wang Tianguang to join the Han Dynasty. ”
Wang Mang's mind came up with the scene at that time.
Liu Bang, the king of Han, said to the soldiers: "Now as long as we capture the Qi State, the gap between us and Xiang Yu will be widened." ”
"King, Han Xin has already led the army to the Qi country." Fan said.
"Okay, I hope General Han will capture the Qi State as soon as possible. The widow gave him a feast. Liu Bang said.
"King, I am willing to send an envoy to the country of Qi to make the king of Qi surrender." Li Shiqi said.
"Okay." Liu Bang said with a smile.
Li Shiqi then went to the country of Qi.
"King Qi, I am here to bring you a messenger of peace." Li Shiqi talked eloquently.
"Then the King of Han sent Han Xin, is it also to send peace?" Qi Wang Tian Guang asked.
"The King. Han Shin will withdraw from the army. Li Shiqi said.
The king of Qi believed it, so he ordered all the troops to be withdrawn.
Han Xin heard that the king of Qi had withdrawn his troops, made peace with the king of Han, and planned to withdraw his troops.
The military advisor Kuaicher said: "General, there is no need to withdraw troops. King Han didn't let you withdraw your troops, he just let you deal with it yourself. Now is a great opportunity to make a difference. There is nothing to pity for eating his life. The hegemony of the Han King is the most important. “
Han Xin then ordered an advance to the state of Qi. The Han army advanced towards the state of Qi with great vigor and high spirits. Along the way, the Han army brandished large blades and killed people when they saw them. Soon, the important town of Qi was lost. Han Xin's large army was approaching Linzi.
King Qi set up the cauldron and said to Li Shiqi, who was tied up with five flowers: "Li Shiqi, you are a big liar. I'll kill you. “
"I have betrayed the trust of the king. You cook me. Li Shiqi said with a smile. A samurai lifted him up and threw it into the oil pot. After a while, there were no bones. Subsequently, Han Xin's army conquered Linzi and stormed the city. The nobles of the Qi Kingdom knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." “
Han Xin cried when he saw the oil pot that was cooking Li Shiqi.
Qi Guoxiang Tian fled to the island to continue to resist the Han army.
A few years later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified the world.
Liu Bang ordered: "If you come to Luoyang to meet you, you will decide to be crowned a king and a marquis based on your performance." If you don't come, all the people on the island will be killed. “
The 500 people on the island bid farewell to Tian Heng. They said, "If Tian Heng dies, we will not live either." “
Tian Heng walked halfway and thought: Our Tian clan has been a Qi royal family since the Warring States period, and it is extremely humiliating to be a courtier for Liu Bang, who was born as a pavilion chief. So, he said to his entourage: "Tian Heng will not surrender to Han even if he dies." With that, he drew his sword and killed himself.
The entourage handed Tian Heng's head to Liu Bang.
When Liu Bang saw this, he said, "I want to reward 500 people on the island." ”
Liu Bang sent an envoy to the island to recruit the 500 men. As soon as the five hundred people heard that Tian Heng was dead, they immediately jumped into the sea.
Liu Bang cried: "Why can't so many people with lofty ideals be used by me? ”
The nobles of the Qi State were relocated to Guanzhong for easy control. The royal family of Qi, Tian, later changed his surname to Wang.
"Sir, is the Qi Guotian clan the ancestor of our Wang family?" Wang Mang asked with a smile.
"Yes." Liu Xiang said.
"The emperor of the Han Dynasty was a treacherous man." Wang Feng walked in and said.
Wang Mang's eyes flashed with hatred.
How should the harmony between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu be carried out?
