Chapter 24 The Book of the Huns

Later, the Bank of China said that he asked Shan Yu to write a letter to the emperor of the Han Dynasty with a wooden note of one foot and two inches, and lengthened the size of the seal and the sealing mud, and said that the opening words were very arrogant, which is what Amohe said just now: "The Xiongnu Dadan, who was born of heaven and earth and placed by the sun and the moon, respectfully greeted the emperor of the Han Dynasty for safety." ”

The Xiongnu dared to show strength to the Han Dynasty on the issue of national letters, and they were backed by their military strength.

Later, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che defeated the Xiongnu, in order to humiliate the Xiongnu Shan Yu, he doubled the specification of the national letter on the basis of the Xiongnu.

Emperor Jing said: "The country's fatigue is not a one-day mistake, let alone the fault of the ministers, this is just my feelings, you all get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then Emperor Jing began to look through the national letters of the Huns.

"Born of heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu asked the emperor of the Han Dynasty to be safe."

"The king of loneliness and indignation, born in frustration, grew up in the field of cattle and horses in the plains, counted to the border, and is willing to travel to China. Now I hear that the Han Emperor has a wife, and he lives alone, and he is willing to marry the Han Emperor as a son-in-law, how can the Han Emperor care? ”

"In addition, now the lonely relatives of 200,000 Hun athletes, hunting outside the plug, captured innumerable, read the Han and Hun heavy, think of the friendship of Weng son-in-law, do not dare to be good at specialization, but people eat horses and chew, the cost is quite large, if the Han Emperor is willing to give 500,000 silver silk taels, the Han Emperor will not be disappointed."

After reading this letter of state, Emperor Jing was furious, kicked the imperial table in front of him over, and the letter of state also rolled a few times and fell to the ground.

"It's too much of a deception! Come to the people, quickly Zhao Zhou Yafu returned to the dynasty, Zhao Qu Zhou Hou Liji, Yan Guo Xiang Luan Bu, Dou Ying quickly came to the audience, and at the same time ordered the King of Yan, the King of Zhao, and the King of Liang to rectify the soldiers and horses of the countries, I will fight to the death with the Huns today, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”

Tao Qing was shocked, and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't!" At this time, between me and the Huns, the offensive and defensive momentum, the strength and weakness are obvious, and please ask Your Majesty to temporarily suppress the wrath of the thunder and think about it in the long run! Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Jing said angrily: "Prime Minister, it's not that I don't know, but that the military ministers deceive people too much, if I don't take revenge, I will be the king in vain." ”

At this time, Chao Cuo walked out, picked up the national letter on the ground, and then slowly flipped through it a few times, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the military ministers are arrogant and rude, and the ministers seconded Your Majesty's decisive battle against the Huns." ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to order Wu Chu and other seven countries to send troops and money to the front line to have a real Han-Hungarian decisive battle."

Emperor Jing was a little pleased, his heart was still his own teacher towards himself, and he couldn't see himself suffer.

And Tao Qing was furious and said: "Doctor Chao, you know that Wu Chu and other countries have not respected the orders of the imperial court for a long time!" What is the intention of this life? ”

"I'm afraid that when the soldiers of Wu Chu and other countries arrive in Chang'an, they don't fight the Huns, but covet the artifact.

Although Tao Qing's words were wrong, but the words were all said to Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing was a little annoyed at this time, why didn't Gaozu seal more princes and kings on the border when he divided the feuds?

But if Emperor Jing knew that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was to divide his son and various places, and then the King of Yan at the border was to hold an army that could fight well, and then Jing was difficult to succeed, he would not have these ideas.

Chao Cuo retorted: "Prime Minister, do you know what the military minister Shan said in this national letter? I've never seen anyone so brazen. ”

After Chao Cuo finished speaking, he handed the national letter to Tao Qing, and Tao Qing began to read it carefully.

When Tao Qing saw the opening paragraph, his eyelids jumped, and he finally knew why Emperor Jing was so angry.

Because this was consistent with the insult of the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu received by Empress Lu back then.

At that time, Mao Dunshan Yu, who had just died of the Yan clan, sent an envoy to send a letter of state with extremely disrespectful words to Empress Lu (Liu Bang is dead), which began with the words: "The lonely and angry king, born in frustration, grew up in the field of cattle and horses in the plains, counted to the border, and is willing to travel to China." His Majesty is independent and lives alone. The two lords are unhappy, and they have nothing to worry about, and they are willing to give everything they have. ”

It means that I am a lonely monarch, born in a desolate meadow and growing up in a field full of cattle and horses, and has reached the border several times, hoping to travel deep into the heart of China. And your husband has just died, and he must be empty. Since neither of us is happy and we can't please ourselves, why don't you be my woman, and we will each exchange what we have for what we don't have, how about it?

Empress Lu felt that he had been humiliated, "furious", and wanted to attack the Huns.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, Sima Qian's description of Empress LΓΌ in the "Historical Records" is: "Empress LΓΌ is resolute".

And the courtiers were almost unanimous: send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

However, only Zhonglang General Ji Bu pointed out that Liu Bang did not take advantage of the war with the Xiongnu in the end, and had to adopt Liu Jing's proposal in exchange for the social and economic recovery and development in the early Han Dynasty; "The sound of today's song is not endless, and the wounded are rising", that is, the military power of the Han Dynasty is still inferior to that of the Xiongnu, and it is advisable to continue to be in harmony.

In the end, Empress Lu listened to Zhonglang's advice on Ji Bu, and in addition to giving a single chariot and horse as a gift, he continued to "take the daughter of the clan as the princess and marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu" to make peace.

Shan Yu accepted it with a smile, apologized, and "because of the sacrifice of the horse, he made peace". In this way, a war disaster between Han and Hungary was avoided in time.

At this time, the military minister Shan Yu's national letter was even more intensified, not only to be friendly, but also to ask for money and food, which was really shameless.

You must know that a few days ago, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, entered Chang'an, and Emperor Jing asked for money and people to give money in order to win over his younger brother, and basically paid one-third of the treasury.

Now that the Huns are doing this again, Tao Qing also has a headache, of course, the Western Han Dynasty court is not without money, several generations of emperors have recuperated and recuperated, and the family wealth saved is enough for Liu Che, a bold man, to squander it for fifty or sixty years.

But if there is money, there is money, and it can't be given to the Huns! Especially the Huns, such as military ministers.

Moreover, the more important military ministers wanted to restore peace, and the original Zhongxing said that after holding a grudge against the Xiongnu, he tried his best to sabotage the Han-Hun and pro-??, constantly made suggestions for the Xiongnu, instigated attacks on the border counties of the Han Dynasty and launched wars.

Now the Bank of China said that it is still an important adviser of the military minister Shan Yu, and the military minister is only seeking peace and relatives, and there must be some things that are not known to outsiders.

After Emperor Jing calmed down, he didn't say anything more about summoning the generals, so a group of ministers began to discuss, and after discussing for a long time, money can be given but not too much, but it is okay to be friendly.

Emperor Jing's mood was a little uncalm, because his daughter was used by him, and the money was also from the treasury, but who made him the head of the Han court?
