Chapter 194: Understanding Harmony

Therefore, Ashina Tumen thought that fighting a protracted war with the Han people was the stupidest way, but unfortunately, these ideas could not be recognized by the Golden Horde Khan. The Turks worship totems and witch gods, and the Golden Horde has to bring the high priest shaman of the tribe with him every time he goes on an expedition, and asks the gods in advance, such as this alliance with Gao Huan, but also because of the great stimulation to predict that the Turks will be very sad in winter, so there will be an event of returning Yaoqin and Xu Mingzhi to exchange winter grain and grass military uniforms.

Liu Ruyan's harmony is basically a condition, which is what the Golden Horde Khan must do to his subordinates, and this is his own will. The date of the wedding was set in the autumn of this year. Before that, Yaoqin and Xu Mingzhi had returned to Pingcheng.

Yaoqin was very happy to be able to come back safely, and Liu Ruyan was of course also very happy, Yaoqin learned that she would be sent to the Turkic royal court as a close friend, so she immediately pulled her to confront Gao Huan. Gao Huan was discussing with Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong about the garrison of Pingcheng after the whole army retreated. The waiter didn't dare to stop Mrs. Yaoqin, who rushed in in a hurry.

Gao Huan looked up at the bulging Yaoqin, waved his hand to Murong Shaozong and the others, and said, "You guys go down first." I'll talk to you later. After speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Yaoqin and Liu Ruyan and said, "Why are you here?" Yaoqin said a little angrily: "Is the matter of kissing true?" Gao Huan showed an embarrassed look on his face at that time, but fortunately, Murong Shaozong and the others, who were retreating, pretended not to see it, and saluted Yaoqin and Liu Ruyan when they passed by, and then left quickly.

"Hehe, you have to listen to me explain this matter......" Before Gao Huan finished speaking, Yaoqin cried with tears, which made Liu Ruyan and Gao Huan very surprised, Yaoqin took Liu Ruyan's hand and said to Gao Huan: "Wang, you know that Ruyan and I are sisters, although we are both Hongchen women who have fallen into the Qinglou, but we are also knowledgeable and knowledgeable since childhood. Harmony is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and we as weak women have no right to express our opinions, but do you know, the king?

Mobei, what kind of place is that? What kind of existence is that Turkic being? What happened to those **** nights and nights when the concubine was captured. I still remember it vividly, every night back in Pingcheng is a nightmare, I can't sleep peacefully, and now you want to let Ruyan go to such a terrible place, or never come back, you are tantamount to letting her die. ”

Liu Ruyan grabbed Yaoqin with both hands, lowered her head and choked up: "Sister, don't say it, no one forced me, I went voluntarily." Liu Ruyan was even more angry when she heard this: "You know that the Turks are ferocious and have no manners, how can you, a weak woman from Jiangnan, survive in the den of tigers and wolves?" Every time I think about my days there, I shudder. ”

Gao Huan was also very aggrieved, he was actually unwilling to let Liu Ruyan marry the Golden Horde Khan, but the current Turkic was different from the previous Rouran, before he was Yu Jiulu's son-in-law, he had some influence on Rouran, and he could also know Rouran's movements in advance through the curvaceous princess. But now he doesn't know where to start with the Turks, and it is even more impossible to break into the enemy, the only way is to use Heqin and blow with the wind on the pillow as Sun Teng said.

As Sun Teng swore to Gao Huan in the secret room, a war will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources and kill many innocent lives, but a woman can exchange her body for peace, this is simply the cheapest exchange, if Gao Huan still exists with the mountain king who stands on his own, there is no need to send Liu Ruyan as an envoy. But if he wants to be the master of the world, he must make decisions about things earlier, even if he is misunderstood and hated.

So at this moment, Yaoqin's accusation against him made him speechless, but he was very aggrieved in his heart, he wanted to comfort the two sisters, but he didn't know what to say. Yaoqin pulled Liu Ruyan and left angrily, because Gao Huan told her that the matter of harmony had been decided, and the candidates had been determined for the Turks, and they could not be changed. This made Yaoqin feel very angry and angry. She was even a little happy in her heart at this time, because she felt that Gao Huan had always treated her and Liu Ruyan as Hongchen women, as a plaything, and she could throw them to others casually, even their lives, if she was tired of playing.

The two sisters, Yaoqin and Liu Ruyan, sat in the boudoir relatively silently, and at this time, the maid outside came in to report, saying that the prince and the prince asked to see him, and Yaoqin didn't want to see him, but Liu Ruyan persuaded her: "This Lord Sun is a very courageous person, if it weren't for his main mediation, I'm afraid that you and Lord Xu are still in the Turkic camp at the moment." Yaoqin said angrily: "I should know, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been sent to kiss." ”

Sun Teng came in very respectfully and saluted Yaoqin and Liu Ruyan, and said: "Madame has not come to visit since she came back, it is really rude, I have to come to visit today, are you still well?" Sun Teng's age is two rounds older than Yaoqin and Liu Ruyan, and the reason why he is so polite to them is because he thinks that Yaoqin is a woman who is happy, and Liu Ruyan is about to marry a key figure in the Turks, and he is very disdainful of these two women in his heart.

Yaoqin said impatiently: "Don't say more polite words, do you have anything to do with me?" Sun Teng looked embarrassed and asked for money, this woman's temper was really strong. Liu Ruyan on the side kept pulling her sleeves with her hands. Sun Teng then straightened up and said: "Miss Ruyan will be the sister of the king, married to the Turkic Golden Horde, and will be the princess in the future, and the old minister is here to congratulate." ”

When Yaoqin heard what he said, she didn't say it, but as soon as she said it, she immediately reprimanded loudly: "What kind of joy do you celebrate? What kind of heart does Ann have? Aren't you ashamed to let a weak woman do an impossible task for you? Liu Ruyan on the side whispered to persuade her not to be angry. Sun Teng continued without changing his face: "It is precisely because the people in the world need the dedication of the girl like smoke that the old minister wants to come to congratulate her, and the act of the girl like the smoke will definitely go down in history and be as famous as Cai Wenji." ”

Yaoqin said angrily: "You said this so nicely, why don't you let your daughter marry that Turkic old man?" Sun Teng said loudly: "If Lao Chen's daughter can have such a blessing, then Chen Zai will definitely send her to the Turks." Yaoqin had already ignored Liu Ruyan's obstruction and reprimanded loudly: "It's okay, I will let the king change his mind and let your daughter go to kiss for her." Sun Teng originally came to comfort and persuade Liu Ruyan, but now he was half angry by Yaoqin's words.

He looked into Yaoqin's eyes and said, "Lao Chen believes that you have such a ability, but Lao Chen still has to say that the candidate for harmony seems to be the most suitable girl at present." Madam, do you think that letting Miss Ruyan marry the Turks far away will make the king and us feel better? If there are still many strife and wars today, we don't know who can end this troubled era so that the peaceful and prosperous era can come as soon as possible. However, people cannot change their original intentions because of the difficulties of the world, we still have to continue to work hard to live for our goals.

It is really a last resort to let the girl go to the black family, but do you know how many people in the frontier can be spared the ravages of war in this way? How many sons can return home safely to reunite with their families, and exchange the sacrifice of Miss Ruyan for peace in the world, which is more important, I think with the knowledge of Mrs. and Miss Ruyan, I don't need to say much.

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also forced to adopt a policy of harmony with the Xiongnu, and when his power grew stronger, he sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to annihilate and drive them away in one fell swoop, ushering in the peaceful and prosperous era of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Although our king does not have the power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we all see his willingness to take responsibility for the people of the world.

Therefore, the old minister repeatedly begged Madame that you could understand this policy of harmony, and do not mistake us for the temporary compromise of the Turks as eternal cowardice. One day in the future, you will see the banner of the Great King fluttering on the grasslands of Mobei, and then I hope that you can reunite with the Ruyan Girl in the grasslands, and the Turks will also submit to my Great Wei. With that, Sun Teng saluted them again.

Yaoqin never thought that an old man in his forties would talk to him so open-mindedly, without identity and gender differences, just like the feeling of heart-to-heart conversation between old friends. Liu Ruyan was also more sure in her heart that what she was doing was right, although her choice may go through hardships, but an ordinary and ordinary girl like her can have the opportunity to stand on the stage of history and show herself, she feels that it is still worth it, and she is even a little grateful in her heart that Gao Huan and Sun Teng can give her such an opportunity.

Ashina Tumen and his sons were drinking in the tent to discuss the alliance between the Golden Horde Khan and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the eldest son, Ashina Koro, looked at Ashina Yandu, who was burying his head in eating beef bones and meat, and said with a smile: "My younger brother has loved to eat beef bones since he was a child, and now he has changed this problem, how about the taste of beef stocks?" Tumen picked up his glass and said, "Only the Turks who can eat and drink are warriors, come to my sons, cheers!" ”

This is Yan Du suddenly raised his head and said, "Father, are we really going to form an alliance with the Han people?" So who else can we fight in the future? It's so boring! "Warlike and bloodthirsty are in the DNA of every Turkic man. Korohaha laughed and said: "My silly brother, this world is very big, and there are many city-states that have not submitted to our great Turks to the west, and there is an ancient and mysterious country of gold at the end of the sea, where it is said that the ground is covered with gold, and even the houses, tables and chairs are made of gold, and people wear gold and use gold to buy and sell women, cattle and horses. ”

Yan Du looked at him very suspiciously and said, "Brother, don't lie to me, I will take it seriously." Tumen then smiled and explained: "Your brother is teasing you, how can there be such a kingdom, even if it really exists, it will be beaten by our Great Turks and submit to us, children will make us Great Turks in the future, although I may not have the opportunity to wait for that day, but you two are still possible." ”

At this time, the warrior at the gate came in and reported: "Lord Tarhan asks to see you." Corot asked very strangely, "What is he doing at such a late hour?" Tsuchimen waved his hand for the warriors to invite Talhan in. The burly Tarhan obviously had to bend down to enter the tent, but he said, "My friend, how can you thank me for coming into this tent so late to talk to you about business?" ”

Tumen put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up and asked curiously, "My friend, what kind of business do you have looking for me?" The two of them had a cheek salute, and then the maid came in with a new set of cutlery, and served delicious lamb and mare's milk wine. Tumen knew that this Tarkhan was not only known among the Turks for his warlike skills, but also for his shrewd mind as a merchant, who could earn large sums of gold in every war.

Because he had business dealings with all countries in the Western Regions, such as selling porcelain and silk plundered by the Han people, and selling grapes, wines, fruits, and horses unique to the Western Regions to the Han people. Therefore, his intelligence eyes are all over the Silk Road, and he does not know things with him in the Hexi Corridor. It was precisely because of this that the Golden Horde Khan valued this Tar Khan, who was not of Turkic origin.

"I've already heard that Yuwentai is terminally ill in Guanzhong and will die soon. In this way, it seems that our alliance with Gao Huan is correct. As if it were casual, Tarhan told Tumen this shocking secret. Both Koro and Yan Du were very surprised and asked, "When did this happen, is this true?" Tarhan looked at them incredulously and said, "Tumen, I think your two sons are stupider than pigs, they actually doubt my Tarhan's intelligence ability!" (To be continued.) )
