Chapter Eighty-Four: The Chinese Empire (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes.) Thank you! )
In the main hall, the excellent singers and musicians of the Xia Kingdom showed the visitors beautiful Chinese dances and melodious Chinese music.
The envoys all sighed, they did not expect that there would be such a country in the north of the country, which has a mature cultural heritage, a perfect system and a self-contained costume.
They watched as these ministers of the Huaxia Kingdom were all dressed in exquisite and atmospheric costumes, and the empress's clothes sitting on the court were even more exquisite!
These envoys really can't imagine that there will be such a country in this cold north, according to their previous impression, the north should be a barren and cold place, before they came to Huaxia, they have always thought that Huaxia is a relatively large tribal chieftaincy, to be honest, Huaxia has exceeded their imagination.
And Ashina Zachariah, who was sitting in the guest seat, looked at everything in Huaxia Kingdom, he vaguely felt a little familiar, he closed his eyes and pondered, he was recalling where this familiarity came from.
Ashina Zachariah pondered for about half an hour before he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him when he was a child.
Ashina Zechariah's father told him one thing, they came from the steppes of the Far East, and in the south of the steppes there was a wealthy empire, which was sometimes called Zhou, then Sui, and finally Tang.
The Tang Empire's Ashina Zacharias still has some impressions, and the porcelain and silk of that country are really exquisite! He remembered that he also had a fine piece of silk and a set of porcelain that he inherited from his father.
Ashina Zechariah's father told him that the Tang Empire was sometimes an ally with them, and sometimes an enemy. His father also said that now in the Tang Empire, there are still people from their Ashina tribe who are officials there.
Ashina Zacharias has always known very well in his heart that he is not the so-called Khazar, he is a Turk, and his father said that their Turks are another species of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu are also a powerful empire.
Ashina Zachariah's father told him on his deathbed that if their Turkic ancestors have been traced up, in fact, they are still related to the Tang Empire, because their ancestors were Xiongnu, and the ancestors of the Xiongnu were the descendants of the Xia Hou clan, a descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.
Ashina Zachariah suddenly stood up and looked at Gao Yang Yajun, and he said loudly:
"Ashina Zacharias salutes the Great Emperor with a glass of wine!"
And his words in Gao Yang Yajun's ears were: "Rather, Babala, Bla, La, Bala" and the like.
Gao Yang Yajun asked Mei Xianying with his ear: "This person is from the Khazar Khanate?" What did he say? ”
Mei Xianying sent a person who knew the Turkic language to tell Gao Yang Yajun the words of Ashina Zachariah.
"Your Majesty, that man said that he was Ashina Zechariah, and he wanted to toast the king with a glass of wine!"
"Ashina Zachariah? Ashina's surname is so familiar! Gao Yang Yajun read a sentence in her heart with doubts, although Gao Yang Yajun was puzzled, she still raised her wine glass and said:
"I respect you! Ashina Zechariah! ”
Then Gao Yang Yajun dried up the wine in one gulp, and Ashina Sachariah saw that Gao Yang Yajun was so heroic as a woman, and he also happily dried the wine in one gulp.
"Ashina Zachariah? Ashina? Ashina clan? When Li Xueru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard the name Ashina Zachariah, he looked up at Ashina Zachariah Nannan and said.
Then Li Xueru quietly moved to Ashina Zachariah's side, "Ashina Zachariah, I toast you!" ”
Hearing the familiar language, Ashina Zachariah looked up at Li Xueru and drank a glass of wine with Li Xueru. After drinking, Ashina Zachariah looked at Li Xueru curiously and asked:
"An official of the Huaxia Kingdom? Do you speak our Turkic language? ”
"Yes, I studied Turkic!"
"Then I want to ask you, does this Huaxia Kingdom have some connection with the Tang Empire in the East?"
Li Xueru's eyes widened for a moment, looked at Ashina Zachariah and asked:
"You, you know Datang? Could it be that you are from the Ashina tribe from the Tang Dynasty? ”
"I guess so, but I don't know, because when I was born, our Ashina tribe had been living in this place for a hundred or two hundred years. I just heard my father tell me that there was a rich empire in the East, and she was first named Zhou, then Sui, and finally Tang! ”
Ashina Zachariah told Li Xueru what he knew, and when Li Xueru was about to say something, Ashina Zachariah continued:
"My father also told me that our Ashina Turkic ancestors and people from the Tang Dynasty are the same, it seems to be called Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor!"
"yes, that's right!" Li Xueru nodded and agreed.
Ashina Zachariah asked happily:
"And are you too?"
"That's right, we are also descendants of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor!" Li Xueru nodded and said, and then he thought in his heart, "Of course, there are only a few descendants of the Yellow Emperor!" ”
But Li Xueru didn't say this, he was not stupid, and he had already integrated into the Huaxia Kingdom, he would never have thought that there would be a group of locals who would work with him to promote the reform of customs.
But Li Xueru now knows, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Even if the prime minister and other scholars are not the descendants of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, they can also be godsons!" And after decades and hundreds of years of mixed blood, not China has become China. ”
"Then this Huaxia official, can I ask you for one thing?" Ashina Zachariah asked.
"Huh!?"
Li Xueru was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be like this, so he just said a word or two and asked him to do something!
"Tell me about it!"
Li Xueru thought about it and asked, of course he just asked, and he didn't plan to do it, because favoritism is very miserable in Huaxia Kingdom, and he was finally named the county prince by Gaoyang Yajun, and he didn't want to be taken off before he had a few days to take the title.
"I hope you will introduce me in front of your emperor, I have something to discuss with you!" Ashina Zachariah directly opened his mouth and told Li Xueru about his purpose.
It can be said that this purpose Ashina Zecharias had not germinated before, but when he knew that the Huaxia Kingdom was so strong, and the emperor was still a distant relative of him, he germinated this idea, he wanted to take back the Khazar Khanate!
The Khazar Khanate had been part of their Ashina tribe until his father's time, when the Magyars attacked them strongly, so his father was ousted from the throne.
Ashina Zachariah's father hoped until his death to become the Great Khan of the Khazar Khanate.
"This, I'm going to discuss it with the others, you wait for me for a while!" Li Xueru said.
"Well, okay!"
Li Xueru immediately went to Prime Minister Mei Andao's side, and then explained to Prime Minister Mei Andao about Ashina Zachariah's plan to meet Gao Yang Yajun.
"Hmm! Let's go and ask him what he's going to do. Mei Andao thought for a moment and said.
Then Mei Andao and Li Xueru came to Ashina Zachariah, and Li Xueru asked Ashina Zachariah what he was going to see Gao Yang Yajun for.
"I, I intend to retake the Khazar Khanate that belongs to our Ashina tribe. I need your help! Ashina Zachariah hesitated for a moment and told Li Xueru his purpose.
"Okay, I can introduce you to Your Majesty, but we are only responsible for introductions, how to convince Your Majesty can only depend on you." Mei Andao thought for a moment and said.
"Oh? Can you, then, introduce me to your Emperor as well? A voice sounded from beside them, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be Her Royal Highness Anastasia, the princess of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. Macedonia.
"Her Royal Highness understands Turkic language?" Li Xueru looked at Anastasia. Macedonia asked.
"Our Roman Empire has always been allied with the Khazar Empire, how can I not understand the Turkic language?" Anastasia. Macedonia said with a smile.
Li Xueru and Mei Andao didn't care, but Ashina Zachariah's face turned white all of a sudden.
"Ashina Zachariah, right? You don't have to be so nervous, I'm also here to plan an alliance with the Huaxia Empire. "Anastasia. Macedonia patted Ashina Zacharias on the shoulder and comforted.
"The princess also plans to form an alliance with us Huaxia? Well, I'll introduce you guys. Mei Andao nodded and said.
"Well, then I'll thank you!" Anastasia. Macedonia said with a smile.
After they finished discussing, Gao Yang Yajun blushed, she suddenly stood up and looked at the people below and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I announce today! Huaxia Kingdom officially changed its name to Huaxia Empire! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The people in the hall sang.
"Long live the Chinese Empire!"
"Long live the Chinese Empire!!"
Everyone in the court saw Gao Yang Yajun raise his hand and chant all the time, and they also cooperated with Gao Yang Yajun to chant together.
"Long live the Chinese Empire!!"
Long live the Chinese Empire!! ”
Long live the Chinese Empire!! ”
