Chapter 496: The Xiongnu came to humiliate the Han Dynasty
Lu Yandian's last remarks can be regarded as saving the lives of his family, and on the same day, Lu Pheasant ordered the repatriation of Lu Yan's family, and rewarded Lu Yuan with a thousand gold, hoping that he would be able to be a rich child in the future.
This situation also made Lu Yan quite happy, as long as his wife and children are not in Chang'an, it means that there is a little less danger, Liu Yingzhai is kind-hearted, there is nothing to fear, the most important thing is that Lu Pheasant is ruthless and has to be guarded against.
And when Ying's mother died, Lu Yan couldn't feel at ease, so he stayed by his side and became a personal guard, just like Yingbu back then, but unfortunately Lu Yan failed to protect Yingbu.
Chang'an did not mention all the things, and said that in Xianbei City, Murong Jing and Mao Dun Shan Yu and others were overjoyed, the reason is very simple, the old emperor of the Han Dynasty died, and the new emperor accepted his fate, so it was naturally difficult to dominate the four seas, and he took this opportunity to make a big profit.
They also heard that the current ruling ministers in the court are Lu Yan and Xiao He, which made Murong Jing a little worried, according to reason, this Han family belongs to the Liu family, Lu Yan is just an agent, it should be nothing to seek some benefits from it, Murong Jing is worried that his relationship with Lu Yan will be leaked, and someone in the Han Dynasty will do something because of this, and no matter how much money he has, it will not be as good as his brother's life.
In the Murong Mansion, many patriarchs are on the left and right, Murong Jing is in the first place, and the left and right are the Donghu patriarch and Mao Dun Shan Yu, all of whom are border minority tribes.
"Today, our clan has a wide land, but they are all cattle, sheep and livestock, the old emperor of the Han family died, if you don't take this to take some property from the hands of the Han family, wouldn't it be a pity, what do you think?" Murong Jing spoke first.
Mao Dunshan liked to provoke border wars the most, and immediately agreed: "What the big leader said is reasonable, how can such a good opportunity be missed, and a certain person is willing to lead troops to the Central Plains and plunder property." ”
Murong Jing hurriedly waved his hand, "After all, the Hun chief is in a hurry, so it is very effective, why don't you send a letter first, humiliate the Han Dynasty, and see how they behave, and it will not be too late for us to send troops." ”
"Now, isn't the wife of the Hun chief dead? I heard that the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty is still in her prime, and she is not more than a hundred years old, can the Huns understand what I mean? "There is a slight mystery between the words.
Mao Dunshan scratched his head a little embarrassed, "The big leader is really meticulous, and I am really flattered that such a small matter still makes the leader care." ”
And the surrounding patriarchs all looked at each other, and they were a little more in awe of Murong Jing, and few people paid attention to the birth, old age, sickness and death of the grassland women, Murong Jing was obviously intentional, and he wanted to monitor Mao Dun Shan Yu.
"In this case, I will write a letter and hand it over, to see how the emperor of the Han Dynasty replied to the letter, and humiliated his mother so much, should he not be afraid to make a decision." Murong Jing laughed.
The tribes decided, then written by the Han people, personally wrote letters, and then ordered the messenger to be sent to the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty due to the death of Emperor Gao, also had no time to estimate the frontier, now see the Xiongnu have envoys, can not help but be surprised, but still to receive with courtesy.
Many Xiongnu envoys came to visit, Liu Ying directly arranged in Weiyang Palace, received by hundreds of officials, and Emperor Hui acted like this, just to let the Xiongnu see the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Ying was in the first place, and his face was quite kind, "The Xiongnu and the Han have not had any contact with each other for several years, and they suddenly sent envoys here, what is the so-called?" Please also make it clear to the Temple. ”
The Xiongnu envoy immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu want to trade with the Han Dynasty, so they sent Weichen to come, with a special silk book, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to look at it." ”
Seeing this, Lu Yan directly stepped forward to take the silk book, "The Xiongnu are brave and brave, the first emperor has not collapsed for a long time, and it should be taken by surprise, but now he sent a silk book, the content must be to humiliate the Han family, no need to read it, burn it directly." ”
After that, he was about to send the silk book to the fire platform, but Liu Ying hurriedly said: "Teacher, don't be like this, after all, the Hun envoys came from afar, and the content needs to be seen, so you can't lose diplomatic relations." ”
Seeing Emperor Hui speak, Lu Yan had to present the silk book to the attendant next to him, and said: "Murong Jing, the lord of Xianbei City, and the patriarch of the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan and all the tribes bowed their heads. ”
"However, the Han Dynasty has a vast territory, fertile fields, and grains and straws are everywhere, and our tribes want to make friends with the Han, and I hope that the new emperor can give thousands of miles of land for the tribes to recuperate and recuperate, and make friends with the Han people."
"Although the Xiongnu land is vast, after all, it is desolate, less than half of the Han land, and now the new emperor is in the sea, hoping to be able to plan far-sightedly, abandon the land of thousands of miles on the frontier, and make friends with the two states."
"And now the patriarch of the Huns, Mao Dunshan Yu, the lonely king, was 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. ”
"The first emperor is dead, the queen mother has nothing to rely on, now with the Hun patriarch, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, I hope the new emperor will not be rigid, so that the two things will be done, the tribes are willing to surrender, otherwise, the army will attack it."
The waiter read the letter, the silence in the hall reached the extreme, Fan Hao was in the court, and walked out first, "The Hun barbarians, they are rude to this point, despise the first emperor, despise the queen mother, the crime should not be forgiven, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to attack it." ”
Liu Ying sat in the first seat, his face was erratic, and he didn't listen to what Fan Hao said at all, but just looked at Lu Yan, hoping that he could solve the matter.
I think that Emperor Gao sent 300,000 troops, but failed to defeat the Xiongnu, and Liu Yingchu ascended the throne, the foundation was not stable, and he rashly sent troops, which may cause chaos in the Central Plains.
Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are barbarians and do not understand education, so they are sloppy, but now that other countries are coming, they should be treated with courtesy, so as to show the tolerance of our Han Dynasty." ”
At this moment, Lu Yan was also puzzled in his heart, when he went to the Huns, didn't he say that he would not send troops, but he didn't expect that his brother could really do things, it seems that he is either short of money or lack of things.
"Auxiliary Zhenggong, you are too exalted to the Huns, in my opinion, you must send troops, otherwise the neighboring countries will laugh at my Han family no one, and all countries will humiliate the Han when the time comes, how to solve it?" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Fan Hao continued.
Chen Ping was beside him, his face was heavy, and he immediately came out and said, "Fan Hao should be beheaded!" ”
"The entourage will send the Hun envoys out first, and the barbarians can't stay in such a big hall for a long time." Lu Yan hurriedly said to prevent others from seeing the joke.
When Fan Xu was told by Chen Ping, he was angry in his heart, and immediately shouted: "For a certain country, why do you want to behead it, but you Chen Ping are afraid all day long and dare not send troops, why do you say me!" ”
"At the beginning, Emperor Gao cooperated with 300,000 soldiers to go to the Xiongnu, and still besieged Baishan Mountain, and now the general can compare to Emperor Gao? Why did the Han Dynasty come with 300,000 soldiers, such an expedition, not knowing the victory or defeat, and making the people complain, you Fan can afford to start, according to the law to disturb the society, shouldn't you be beheaded! Chen Ping said very imposingly.
