189 Cutting flesh as a courtesy
On the ninth day of the eighth month of the third year of the Great Cause, after a long journey of more than 20 days, Yang Guang led an army of 500,000 and hundreds of civil and military officials and a large number of monks and Taoists to finally arrive at the Turkic royal court Dali City.
When Yang Guang walked out of the Guanfeng Xing Palace, he looked at the Hu people who knelt on the ground with no end in sight, and couldn't help but be proud, and then said loudly, "I went to Saibei this time to see the leaders and Li Min of the various departments in Saibei, and at the same time, I also wanted to bring the friendship and advanced culture of the perfect Great Sui to Saibei. To my surprise, you built the road before I set out, and my sincerity is worth it! ”
As early as the rise of the polo game, Su You invented the megaphone, but he couldn't invent electricity anyway, so Yang Guang's voice actually couldn't travel far, but fortunately, the power of interaction was infinite.
Immediately, the entire grassland was jubilant because of Yang Guang's arrival.
Qimin Khan and other leaders of various tribes rushed back to Dali City after completing the responsibility of leading the party a few days earlier, and they spent two more days in Dali City carefully and meticulously preparing to meet Yang Guang, and then turned back to the south to wait on the side of the road to meet Yang Guang again.
At this time, Yang Guang slowly walked down from the Guanfeng Xing Palace, and the Qimin Khan immediately used a dagger to cut off a piece of flesh the size of a palm on his shoulder and offered it to him, and swore an oath, "Since the slaves have been vassals to the Shangguo, the war has stopped in Saibei, but there is a shortage of species here, and we have admired the Heavenly Empire for a long time." The grace of the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, we can only repay it with one arm of strength, and wherever Your Majesty wants to go, we will build the road wherever we want. ”
"Circumcision? It is said that this is the highest etiquette of the Hu people. ”
"Qimin, this old guy is really a man, he cut such a big piece of meat, and there is blood flowing on his arm, but he doesn't even frown."
"Isn't this a bit too much? However, the first emperor successively ordered Princess Anyi and Princess Yicheng to marry Yu Dangan, which can be regarded as having the grace of reinvention for him. ”
…….
At this time, the scene became extremely quiet, but the blood of gossip in the hearts of the audience was surging; More Turkic viewers took this move for granted, and it was self-evident that the Great Sui audience saw that their own leaders were so valued, and their hearts overflowed with pride.
"Good! Good! Good! If you're really a man, I didn't think you wrong! Yang Guang personally took the plate containing the muscles of Qimin Khan from the hand of the inner servant, and his blood was surging for a while, and he laughed wildly.
"Dye dry, you're good." After Yang Guang finished laughing, he put down the plate containing flesh and blood, and then walked quickly to the Qimin Khan who was kneeling on the ground, and stretched out his hands to help him up.
"Your Majesty, slave, please untie the braid and change the clothes, and return to the Great Sui." Qimin Khan was impressed by Yang Guang's grace, and he stood up tremblingly, but once again sincerely reminded the former of the past.
"The Khan has a heart for Sui, don't I know? But this is a hundred-year plan, and there is no urgency. Yang Guang couldn't imagine that there was no pot to open at this time, but it was originally a national policy to use Hu to control Hu, so how could he agree to what he asked? That's why he dismissed "thinking twice" as worthless not long ago, but now he is advocating a long-term plan.
Although this is Yang Guang's helplessness, it cannot but be said to be a wise move. Although the Qimin Khan repeatedly applied for unbraiding and easy service, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if they are formally under the rule of the Great Sui, in fact, they are still the soil emperors of the rampant side; Besides, who would dare to say that this was not a temptation of the Khan of Qimin?
If someone gives you a top hat, you just get off the donkey, which is not a wise move.
As with many historical images, the two men who attracted the attention of thousands stood on the ground without saying a word; One is the lord of the Central Plains, smiling; One is the king of the steppe, with tears in his eyes.
"Come on, give wine to enlighten the people as a thank you gift!" Yang Guang stood face-to-face with Qimin Khan for a while, and finally remembered the teaching of "come but not go", and then beckoned to the inner servants beside him.
Soon, a delicate porcelain bottle and two clear glass wine glasses were brought over by the waiter's tray.
Yang Guang picked up the wine glass and poured a glass first, then took it and handed it to the hand of the dyeing dry, and said in a deep voice, "This first glass of wine, I would like to thank the Qimin Khan for his outstanding contribution to the peace of the Great Sui and the grassland, and I hope that the friendship between the people of the Great Sui and the grassland will last forever......"
"Your Majesty is too famous, this is the slave's business." Dye Gancheng took the wine glass with both hands in trepidation and watched Yang Guang pour a glass of wine for himself.
The two of them raised their glasses, toasted for a while, and drank the first glass.
If so, Yang Guang continued to toast him two cups of high-purity drunken life and death on the grounds of thanking Qimin Khan for his courtesy and loving Li Min in the north.
After Qimin drank three glasses of wine in one go, his old face was already panting; Although Yang Guang also drank three cups with him, his face remained unchanged at all, and he still had a calm and breezy look.
When the Turkic chieftains compared the amount of alcohol consumed by Yang Guang and Qimin Khan, they once again deepened Yang Guang's unfathomable evaluation; And Su You was noncommittal to Yang Guang's wit, he peeked through the secret in the wine jug at a glance, because the plot of poisoning the wine jug in the serial dramas of later generations was really rotten.
It's just that Yang Guang's practice of suppressing the Khan of Qimin everywhere is really good?
After all, the Khan of Qimin is on the verge of death, and his son Duji is like the sun at eight or nine o'clock; If the Khan of Qimin loses his prestige, and if he is not satisfied with the status quo, it will only be a matter of time before a human tragedy such as cannibalism occurs.
After three glasses of wine, Qimin Khan was already sweating profusely, and Du Ji, who was standing on the side, finally came out of the crowd and knelt down again and said to Yang Guang, "Your Majesty, my father is only afraid of losing too much blood and ......" He choked up and did not continue, but the tears in his eyes explained a qiē, obviously he also knew "The Self-cultivation of Actors".
"It's me who was negligent, take him down to bandage it, and after half an hour, I will set up a banquet in the tent of the Baolong Palace, and all the Great Khans and envoys can come together." Yang Guang nodded, and then ordered in a counter-guest manner.
The crowd agreed and fell to the ground again.
"Since ancient times, the Central Plains Son of Heaven will ally the princes of the north, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he may not be able to be like me. Now that there is wine, how can there be no poetry? Yang Guang raised his hands slightly, enjoying the pleasure of dominating the world, and then slowly chanted a five-character poem that had been stored in his abdomen for a few days, and said:
"Lu Saihong flag stationed, Long Ting Cui returned.
The felt tent looks at the wind, and the dome opens to the sun.
Hu Han suddenly arrived, and Tu Qi came one after another.
The pigtail is meaty, and Wei Ren offers a wine glass.
How can he be like the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, who is on the stage in the air?"
A song "Xingsaibei" was chanted, which attracted a lot of civil and military applause, and although the Qimin Khan and the leaders of the various departments did not know what they meant, they also nodded yes; And Yang Guangzhi is full of pride, and he will not hesitate to give the rewards to the Qimin Khan and the various ministries, which is a happy thing.
After the grand welcome ceremony, Yang Guang returned to the Guanfeng Xing Palace, and then the Guanfeng Xing Hall slowly started again and went to the Baolong Palace tent.
The troops on the periphery have set up camp one after another, although the polo players belong to the entertainment public, but they still have to do this kind of thing by themselves, and this matter cannot be as casual as on the road, after all, Yang Guang will spend more than half a month to meet with the leaders of all parts of the north, and they will stay here at least until the beginning of September.
"Is His Majesty's poem really that good? I think it's still Mr.'s 'life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon' more scene. Both hands opened the luggage and daily utensils, but Cheng Jin's mouth was not idle.
"You don't understand this, you write poems for Mingzhi, and this poem is really divided by realm. If there is a realm, it will become a high standard and have its own famous sentences. Su You listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, but shook his head, of course, the poems he pirated were all peerless poems, but the poems needed to meet the situation, and "Will Enter the Wine" was obviously not suitable for chanting from the mouth of the people.
"I don't understand." Cheng Yanjin responded helplessly.
"I know that you don't understand, you just said the sentence 'life must be happy', if it is the voice of a hermit, it is indeed wild and uninhibited, if the emperor is like this, where is his sense of responsibility? On the contrary, His Majesty's chanting of 'He is like the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and he is alone in the air', which shows his domineering. Su You patiently explained, although he has a set of pirated copies, but commenting on literary and artistic works is superficial, fortunately, Cheng Yanjin was originally a simple person.
"There must be an allusion here, but I still don't understand."
"It's true that an allusion is used, isn't there a commentary before the poem? The meaning of this last sentence is: 'Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove away the Xiongnu, what could he do?' Compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who drove away the Xiongnu by force, His Majesty was to subdue people with virtue, and his eyes were full of Turkic tribes who were subjugated to the ground, which one gave more scenery? Su You glanced at Cheng Biting Jin angrily and continued to explain.
"Naturally, it is the scenery of today's majesty, but is it really a virtue to convince people?" Cheng Biting Jin said through Su You, and finally realized that his admiration for Yang Guang skyrocketed, but Su You's explanation was obviously unsatisfactory.
"Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. If His Majesty had brought the Turks to their knees by force, then the historians would have criticized him for his great achievements, after all, in the history books, martial arts belonged to the non-mainstream. Su You sighed, his words full of helplessness.
"I heard that the Turks have already built a polo field and are ready to fight with us, is this inviting you into the urn?" Cheng Yanjin doesn't understand the mainstream and non-mainstream in the history books, but he has a good habit, that is, once he finds that he has difficulty understanding something, he refuses to fill his brain hole with more thoughts to waste brain cells.
The idiom "please enter the urn" was born in advance because of Su You's appearance, and Cheng Yanjin learned and used it at this time, which made Su You a little crying and laughing.
"Let's keep the game in the next three or five days. Now that the news of His Majesty's arrival has spread, the chiefs and envoys from all over the country will come to worship one after another, and in a few days His Majesty will be too busy to find the north, so the ball game will definitely be held as much as possible. Su You was noncommittal about Cheng Biting Jin's question, but he said his speculation.
"The sooner the better, we'll be free when we're done; If we win, I don't know what kind of official His Majesty will appoint..."Cheng Yanjin couldn't imagine that it would end so soon, and he couldn't help but say the thoughts hidden in his heart, if he was so young, he would be able to get a position in the imperial court, and after returning to the academy, he would show off in front of Uncle Qin Bao Luo Shixin......
It's exciting to think about!
"There are no ifs, we have to win." Su You interrupted Cheng Biting Jin's fantasy and responded categorically.
