Section 645 Xiongnu Envoy - Yi Zhixian (1)
Soon it was late September, and the year came to an end before I knew it.
The weather is also getting colder.
In the morning, frost and fog took over the world, and it was already difficult to see people ten paces away.
On the wide gallop road, it is rare to see the presence of chariots and horses.
But this morning, it was an exception.
Several carriages, escorted by more than 100 cavalrymen, slowly walked on the gallop road.
And the people of Guanzhong in all four miles and eight towns also gathered on both sides of the road, watching as if they were aliens.
There were even many men dressed as nobles, and they also came with their servants to watch.
On the side of the road, ......someone whispered with a friend: "The Art of War: The soldier who surrenders without a fight, it is said that his majesty does not use swords and soldiers, but makes Yi Di come to the court, and Zhou Zhichengkang is nothing more than that!" ”
"That's it!" Someone nodded in agreement: "This day is born and sacred, it is rumored that when the former concubine Su was pregnant with His Majesty, the banner of Chiyou passed through the sky, and this lord saint king came to the world, with his might, suppressed the eight wildernesses!" ”
When everyone heard this, they also said, "Yes, yes!" ”
The so-called Chiyou Banner, in the world, is a general name for a variety of celestial phenomena.
Generally speaking, there are two main types.
One is a cloud with a yellow top and a white bottom, shaped like a flag, or a similar aurora; One is a comet with a tail like a flag.
For astrology, this celestial image, every time it appears, is the beginning of a world war or the explosion of a certain emperor.
For example, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the banner of Chiyou appeared everywhere, so Qin destroyed the six countries, and the dead people were like a mess and could not be counted.
Thus. People are very interested in such natural phenomena, astrologers will record all similar anomalous astrological and celestial phenomena, and then explore the significance of similar astrological and celestial phenomena from historical records or future events.
And coincidentally, I don't know who recorded the year Liu Che was born. There was once a phenomenon similar to the flag of Chiyou in the sky above Guanzhong during the day.
It could be that a comet returned to the Sun and its orbit crossed the Earth's sky, or it could be that there was a slight problem with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the aurora to appear in the atmosphere, or it could be that a cloud formed a similar situation under the action of the wind.
If Liu Che hadn't become the emperor, similar records would naturally not have been remembered by anyone.
But after Liu Che became the emperor, his every move. Even before and after his birth, anything related to him was taken under a magnifying glass and carefully studied, and any clues were turned out of the pile of old papers and used as evidence.
If it weren't for the tradition, the priesthood of the warlord also included killing and tyranny. This will definitely lead to someone who will connect Liu Che with Chi You, and even spread the story that Liu Che is the master of the soldiers.
Even so. This incident was also deified, and it became a legend that Liu Che was born sacred, and even the master of the soldiers had to protect the Dharma for the arrival of the Holy Son of Heaven.
As for how many of these statements are people who want to seek happiness through this? It is not clear how many people want to use this to fool the village women and cheat some divination money.
……………………………………
Yi Zhi gently lifted the curtain and looked at the sides of the road, those faint. The Han man who couldn't see clearly, the scars on his face became even more hideous.
"Minister, you are really too deceitful!" Yi Zhi's chest was full of anger.
A month and a half ago, he betrayed Wusun and designed at Rouge Mountain, successfully ambushing the main force of Wusun who had moved eastward.
Although the Wusun people ran a lot, and on the battlefield, a total of more than 3,000 corpses were found, but they captured almost all the Wusun tribes, as many as tens of thousands of prisoners of war, so that the Huns up and down, all laughed from ear to ear.
Because of his contributions, under the joint promotion of the nobles of Longcheng and the eastern tribes, he was named the king of Yougu Li by the military ministers, and became one of the four most important forces in the Xiongnu country.
According to Yi Zhixian's plan, after becoming the queen of Yougu Li, he should lie dormant, accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and one day, take revenge on the military ministers.
But I know there that the old fox of the military minister is worthy of being the son-in-law of the old Shangshan Yu, and he is well versed in the struggle strategy of the old Shangshan Yu.
The military ministers named him the king of the right valley with the front foot, and sent the royal court cavalry with the right foot, ordering him to envoy to the Han Dynasty, boasting of his martial arts to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time asking for gifts.
"The military minister is going to borrow a knife to kill someone!" Izuku took a long breath.
In the past, between the Han and the Huns, the highest level of diplomatic missions, the Han Dynasty side of the highest specification is the 2,000 stone Fengchun Jun Lou Jing, the Xiongnu side is a big household and difficult to live in the carving canal, the status is similar to Lou Jing.
In addition, most of the time, it is middle-level officials who interact with each other.
The envoys sent by the Han Dynasty will not exceed a thousand stones, and the envoys of the Xiongnu will only be a bone marquis.
Send one of the four corners, the status is second only to Shan Yu, the right valley of the king of the right valley as an envoy, which is unheard of in the history of the Xiongnu.
Because, neither the Xiongnu nor the Han Dynasty could send such an important nobleman to a potential enemy country.
What if the other party tears up the ticket?
In a sense, Yi Zhixian's envoy can be regarded as a turning point in the history of Han-Hungarian exchanges, and even an ice-breaking trip.
Of course, the premise is that he can complete his mission and return to the Xiongnu safely.
It's just that......
Yi Zhixian knew very well that if he could go back alive, it would be hell!
"The military minister will not let me go back alive......" Yi Zhixian thought to himself: "I am still too careless, too hasty, I should endure it for a few more years, let the Wusun people drag the military minister for a few more years, but unfortunately, the desire for profit is consumed!" ”
When Yi Zhixian was very young, he was educated by his father's mastermind, Zhongxingshuo, and he could easily grasp some allusions and common sense of the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely by relying on these wisdom from the Han Dynasty, relying on Taoguang to raise obscurity and pretending to be stupid, that Yi Zhixian has survived to this day.
Pity......
On impulse, he lost his vigilance, so that the military ministers found out, and drove him to the Han Dynasty with a word.
The trick of killing people with a knife, whether in the Han Dynasty or the Xiongnu, was a very common method.
Yi Zhixian knew very well that at this moment, in his mission, there must be - no! There is definitely a majority of people who are military ministers.
These people must have another mission - let him die, no matter what means, make any deal with the Han Dynasty.
And if he died in the Han Dynasty, whether he died of illness, was killed by the Han Dynasty, or even accidentally fell into the river and drowned, it was a good thing for the military ministers that far exceeded the little thing of harmony!
"If I die, and then kill King Ruolu, the bloodline of the old Shangshan Yu will only be left in his military ministers, and Yudan's position will be stable......" Yi Zhi thought in his heart.
For the Xiongnu, the purity and continuity of the clan were more important than everything.
Whether it is the king of Yizhi or Ruolu, he has the ability to threaten the stability of the position of the son of a military minister.
"If I want to live, I have to convince the emperor of the Han Dynasty that he can't ......let me die," Yi Zhixian has been turning around these days, and has already figured out the key to his survival.
He could only die inside the Great Wall, and if he died outside the Great Wall, it would inevitably arouse the fear and suspicion of the entire royal family.
The Huns could accept two people from the same clan fighting for the throne, but they would never accept it, using despicable means to murder a nobleman of the Yu clan.
Not to mention, those who hold the military power in their hands have always been very dissatisfied with the suppression and coercion of the military ministers.
Therefore, if he wants to live, the key lies in the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty did not want him to die, and he naturally left the Great Wall alive.
Instead, he can choose what method he uses to end his life.
The only problem is that he has too few chips.
At least less than the military minister's. (To be continued.) )
