Chapter 196: The Mid-Autumn Festival Envoy (II)
When Tuyuhun heard this, he had another feeling in his heart.
The Son of Heaven is generous and generous to his courtiers!
Zhang Hua has worked hard all his life, and he is the teacher of today, Sima Shu treats the British Duke so favorably, which is nothing more than to show the court that he will not be mean and thoughtless. In this way, it will only make others compete for Zhuge Kongming's dedication and death, in the hope that he can also get such honors in the future.
At this time, Tuyuhun sighed today, but at this moment, he was putting on a full posture on the royal car for the subjects on both sides to see.
The climax soon came, in the cheers of the crowd, an attendant read out the holy will to pardon the prisoners, and some of the prisoners who committed less serious crimes in the Jingshi Prison were dressed in prison clothes and shackles, and when the holy decree was announced, the drums were loud in all directions, and the jailer soap Li immediately opened the prisoners' shackles, and for a while, the audience shouted thanks to the prisoners, and the cheers were thunderous.
At this time, Sima Shu, who was standing on the royal car and posing for onlookers, could not leave, because the audience had already begun to sing and dance to praise the emperor's boundless kindness, and the object of praise naturally had to stay here and enjoy with the people. Fortunately, Sima Shu is in the prime of life, and he has worked hard since he was a child, and he can hold it up after half a day.
It wasn't until sunset that the whole celebration ceremony ended, and the people of Beijing, who had watched the emperor all day, finally returned satisfied. At this time, the emperor Sima Shu still had to stay in the imperial garden to hold a banquet to entertain the villagers in the capital, and the queen Wang Huifeng led the princes and princesses to accompany them.
During the entire banquet, the old people frequently peeked at Sima Shu, who was sitting on the top, and was grateful to Dade for a while. For a moment, I was honestly afraid. The little prince who appeared by chance during the banquet and was not yet two years old turned out to be more popular than the emperor himself, and everyone looked at the sturdy little prince and couldn't help but think in their hearts that they could really enjoy such peaceful years for a long time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was placed in the imperial garden, the palace people used the hundred flower lanterns made of glaze to create a beautiful stage, the top musicians of the Great Jin Kingdom sat around the stage, playing moving movements, and the intoxicating aroma of fine wine, making people flutter like immortals.
The stage is full of beauty, and the audience is also scheming. The gorgeous girls have been preparing for this moment for so long. They have to make sure that all their charms are displayed in just a few hours.
They are like well-trained geisha. Behind every dignified action, there is a "casual" temptation, such as the bright wrist exposed when pouring wine, such as a charming look between talking and laughing......
On such an occasion, Sima Shu put on the so-called royal majesty, and talked to each other with the representatives of the guests around him in a gentle and dignified tone. Make a look like you're close to the people. Suddenly, even he was in a trance. As if he was born to be so. should sink into the glitz and glitz of this life. At this moment, he felt that he was no longer a soul wandering in another world, but a real emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom.
While the crowd was drinking and having fun, suddenly. All the lanterns around the garden went out, and the music came to an abrupt end. At this moment, two bands of light suddenly lit up in the sky, shining like the Milky Way in the dark night. Just as everyone looked up curiously, a girl in white with long hair fluttering appeared at the end of the light belt.
I saw the girl stepping on the light belt, landing slowly, like an immortal flying, and making a heavenly singing sound between the wanderings, it was the "Sword Dance" that was a smash hit in the capital!
At the moment when the girl landed on the stage, the stage automatically lit up, it turned out that it turned into a blooming white lotus flower from a stage in the dark night, and the girl stood in the heart of the golden lotus, the music floated out softly from behind the lotus, the girl sang while gently stretching her delicate and beautiful limbs like willows, and the white clothes on her body made the lotus lotus-like tender skin loom with her dancing, pure with the ultimate temptation/bewilderment, like a handful of white feathers, soft, but just scratched the itch of people, It makes people want to be unstoppable.
As the strange and amazing singing stopped, the music was like a wild horse that had been stopped, and quickly turned the bow of the boat, and actually performed an exotic music, the girl's slender hands and feet were tied with silver bells at some point, and the dancing tinkled between them, and with the sound of the drums, the girl's toes were constantly raised high as if they were on people's hearts, and they were extremely charming.
The music grew faster and faster as the girl danced, stopping in a dizzying spin.
It's over......
The people around unconsciously quieted down, and couldn't bear to disturb her, as if as soon as they opened their mouths and made a little noise, they would break the silence......
After an hour of dinner, Sima Shu still couldn't relax, he didn't need to go to see Tuyuhun in person, just like he asked Lifansi to deal with Tuoba Liuxiu, but he was full of interest in Tuyuhun itself, so he specially summoned the other party after the dinner.
"Minister, Tuguhun, knock to see Your Majesty."
Sima Shu looked at Tuyuhun who was lying under His Majesty, and saw that the other party was about thirty years old, and he was in the prime of life, and his expression was slightly in a trance. This is the Murong Tuyuhun who single-handedly created the Tuyuhun Empire and dominated the Northwest Plateau, looking heroic and extraordinary, tall and tall, much stronger than ordinary people from the land of Yan and Zhao.
Sima Shu saw that when he came to the audience, he did this set of etiquette according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, although it was a little rusty, but it was not reckless, the etiquette was comprehensive and not cumbersome, and there was no obstacle to the manners and actions along the way, the expression was respectful and not panicked, free and easy and not arrogant.
Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun, in the next life, you have the life to use more than 1,000 tribes to lay down a big country, but in this life, with my Sima Shu, you Tuyuhun is still honest as a Shunmin of the Great Jin!
Just as Sima Shu was thinking, Tuyuhun had finished his salute, and when he saw the emperor on the throne, although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to disturb him.
"Hmm...... Speaking of which, I also want to thank the Tuyuhun tribe, the siege of the western capital was thanks to the help of the Tuyuhun chieftain, and I was able to get out of danger safely. However, since your brother Murong Diao has served the Zhengshuo of this dynasty, you should be ordered to be cautious, stay in this realm, and be diligent in government and care for the people. It's just that I heard that the Tuyuhun tribe moved troops without authorization, causing the Qiang tribe in Qinghai to disperse one after another, and the captain Yao Gezhong once asked me for troops to fight against Vaer and others, but I forcibly suppressed them."
Sima Shu came back to his senses, and saw Tuyuhun tremblingly waiting for his words, so he hurriedly soothed him, but before he could say a few words, he changed his words, mentioning the latest information he got from the Military Intelligence Agency, and questioned Tuyuhun about Tuyuhun about Tuyan's large-scale attack on the Qiang tribe in Qinghai.
began to hear the emperor's gentle words, Tuyuhun was still very happy - His Majesty still remembered Liangzhou's kindness, and this errand was estimated to be much easier. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the emperor had already secretly stored the anger of thunder, and at first glance he heard Sima Shu's sharp question, and understood the clear meaning of the emperor's question, even a hero like Tuyuhun was a little unbearable.
The Son of Heaven is so wise, no wonder even his brother Murong Diao has suffered a big loss, and it seems that his careful thinking can't escape the emperor's eyes.
According to the latest policy formulated by the Great Jin, unless you sincerely surrender to the Great Jin, you don't want to take advantage of the Central Plains as before. Just like Tuyuhun, even if he has made great achievements, if he doesn't hand over the clan, he still won't be able to enjoy any of the benefits provided by the Great Jin.
However, although looking all the way from Liangzhou, the people everywhere were obedient and the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army was undoubted, Tuyuhun was unwilling to admit defeat like this. Thinking that this tribe has occupied most of Qinghai Lake, and the Great Jin will not advance westward for a while, that is, Tuyuhun still has time to expand his power. As long as his strength is strong enough, he will have room to bargain with the imperial court in the future.
Moreover, at this time, the Great Jin Dynasty would never dare to start a war in the northwest, and the Xiongnu and Mobei Tuoba were not so easy to get along with. Although the two sides were at peace for the time being, it did not necessarily mean that the Huns would not go south. When the main force of the Xiang army was still in Sizhou or Hebei, the Huns might not dare to come and harass, once the Jin army wanted to go south or attack the northwest, it was difficult to guarantee that the Huns would not be empty to plot Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to live in peace with the Qiang people, it's really that they deceive people too much. The Qiang tribe relies on the strength of the people and repeatedly bullies the ministers, and the ministers are just fighting back! ”
Now is not the time to turn his face with Dajin, so Tuyuhun has no choice but to talk nonsense and try to get by. He didn't know that Sima Shu didn't really want to turn his face with the other party, he just knocked the other party. He himself hoped that through the hands of Tuyuhun, he could rectify the Qiang people in the northwest and lay the foundation for the future imperial court to pass through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
"Alas, I also know that your life is not easy, so let's go down and go to Lifan Si to find Master Pei Wei and ask him to sell you some cheap weapons and equipment, which can be regarded as my repayment of your rescue at the beginning. In addition, I will give you the title of Captain of the Qiang Protector, so that you can carry out a justifiable crusade against the Qiang who do not submit to the discipline of the imperial court! ”
"Ahh Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust! ”
Tuyuhun was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, there would be another village! Today, his little heart is not less stimulated!
But overall, he has completed the purpose of this trip, not only has been recognized by Dajin, but also obtained a batch of weapons and equipment, and now who doesn't know that Dajin's weapons are extremely sharp! With these weapons, Tuyuhun's strength will be raised to a higher level, and it will also speed up the pace of Tuyuhun's unification of the Qinghai grassland.
Sima Shu looked at the excited Tuyuhun, of course he knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't break the other party's careful thoughts. Although this strengthened Tuyuhun's strength, it could also strike at the Northwest Qiang people through the other side. The wild Qiang people scattered on the Qinghai Plateau in the northwest are very fierce and have many tribes, and they often harass the Liangzhou region. (To be continued......)
