The sudden mutiny in the country of Shache was caused by the old king passing the throne to Wannian from Wusun, and the princes who did not dare to attack because of the king's prestige were originally unconvinced, and the Xiongnu nobles took the opportunity to provoke, and it was easy to ignite the fire of resistance.

After ten years of recuperation, the Xiongnu gradually recovered, but during this period, the development of Wusun was also changing with each passing day, beyond the imagination of the Xiongnu royal family. If you still want to take down Wusun as easily as before, it is simply a fool's dream, and it will cost you decades of hard work.

When the Huns were about to move, they just caught a glimmer of life, and the old king of Shache insisted on inheriting the throne for 10,000 years, despite the resistance of his brothers. What kind of person is Wan Nian, the great general of Wusun, isn't it a big joke to let an outsider be the king of Shache Country! However, the old king has made up his mind, and no one can persuade him, just like he has lost his mind and gone crazy and has been completely brainwashed by ten thousand years!

Of course, the princes and nobles of the Shache Kingdom refused to let the general of Wusun be their king, so it was almost obvious that the Shache Kingdom would become Wusun's bag sooner or later. Judging from Wusun's current strength, this day will come soon, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the heavens should not be called and the earth will not be spiritual.

The old king was really confused, and he didn't want to think about what the roles of the king and queen of Wusun were, if they had no benefits to gain, how could they give up the great generals of their own country? They must have made a wishful calculation, first sent ten thousand years to sit in the position of the king, and then waited for the day when the old king's legs stretched out and returned to the sky, so that Shache would naturally become a vassal state of Wusun.

The scheming guys in Wusun didn't know how much ecstasy soup they poured into the old king, so he recognized that Wan Nian was the Ming monarch who had the ability to lead the Shache Kingdom to prosperity and strength. He was willing to give the hands of the country he had worked so hard to give to others, but he was afraid that he would not be able to turn a blind eye after he died. But the old king is confused, and there are still people who are sober-minded, and these princes are also meritorious ministers, and the old king is not qualified to decide everything for them.

Although there are many grievances in his heart, he can't resist the stubborn old king, and the princes of Shache are like ants on a hot pot, and they can't live in peace every day. At this time, the Xiongnu nobles, who had always had dealings with the princes, took the right medicine to sow discord, which made their blood boil.

Finally survived until the day when the new king ascended the throne, the old king no longer had the right to restrain them, if they waited for ten thousand years to sit on the throne before they started, I am afraid that there would be no chance to turn over in the future.

The princes of Shache mutinied that night and put the old king under house arrest, even the royal families of other countries who came to the banquet. Fortunately, Wan Nian had already discovered that something was wrong and sent Weng Guimi away in advance, so that Weng Guimi was spared from this difficulty. Otherwise, if Weng Guimi fell into the hands of those princes, and then they gave it to the nobles of the Xiongnu, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

The old king's military power was handed over to Wan Nian, although Wan Chu arrived and did not know much about the situation in Shache Kingdom, but he led his troops to fight for many years, and he was still a master on the battlefield. Compared with the princes of Shache Kingdom, Wannian can be said to have won a complete victory without much effort.

Even so, Weng Guimi was still worried about Wan Nian, and sent someone to Liu Ye to ask for support halfway through, Liu Ye didn't know the truth, and he was also worried, and immediately sent Chang Hui to Shache Country. But before they could set off, they received the news that Wannian had defeated the traitors of the Shache Kingdom.

After this toss, Weng Guimi and Liu Ye no longer dare to take it lightly, the royal family of Shache Country is only afraid that there will be similar actions, they will not be convinced to be kings for thousands of years, unless they are all uprooted, in order to never suffer from future troubles. But this is not for the current situation in the country of Shache, the power of the princes has infiltrated every corner of the country, and it will take at least several years to uproot them.

"Queen, on the way back, I kept wondering if it was wrong to promise the old king to let Wannian succeed to the throne. Wan Nian is the great general of Wusun, and he should have stayed in Wusun for a few days to live in peace, but I sent him to the country of Shache to risk his life. When Weng Guimi saw Liu Ye, he suddenly felt full of emotion, "At the beginning, I only thought that the alliance between the two countries would be beneficial to Wusun, but I didn't expect to bring so much trouble to Wannian." What a selfish father I am, an incompetent monarch. ”

"Don't blame yourself, my lord, we agreed to succeed to the throne for ten thousand years, and we can't resist the old king's request, although we have no intention of annexing the Shache Kingdom, but it is indeed negligent. The princes of Shache will not think of us in the best way, and it is not uncommon for the Huns to instigate such a thing. Liu Ye hurriedly comforted.

"No, I was too careless, I didn't find out in advance that the princes of the Shache Kingdom had dealings with the Xiongnu nobles, and blindly believed in the promises of the old king, pushing Wannian to a dead end." Weng Guimi said, coughing violently, "No, if it goes on like this, it will not be able to bear it for ten thousand years, I have to let him come back, can't I not be the king of the Shache country!" ”

Liu Ye stepped forward and hugged Weng Guimi: "King, Wan Nian is now the king of Shache Country, how can you say that you will come back, you also agreed to this matter at the beginning, how can you be childish?" As far as I can see, the Xiongnu nobles instigated from the side, and they also wanted to reap the profits of the fishermen, but now that the traitors have been subdued in such a short period of time, the other princes will not dare to commit it again for a while, and the Huns will not rashly fight an uncertain battle. ”

Weng Guimi pondered her words, and his mood finally calmed down: "Yes, the Huns have always been like this, there is no certainty of victory, they will not take risks, in the past ten years, the Huns have finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief, and at this time, against Wusun, they also have to weigh it." ”

"Yes, the Huns are just using the princes of Shache to test it, if they are defeated in 10,000 years, they will fall into the ground, on the contrary, they will win in 10,000 years, they can only retreat and wait and see. After all, if something happens in 10,000 years, we will definitely not sit idly by, and Dawan still has the garrison of the Han Dynasty, if it really fights, the Han will also send troops to support, and take this opportunity to completely exterminate the Huns. Liu Ye patted Weng Guimi's back, "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, if the Xiongnu move Wusun's idea again, we will kill them all, and simply assist the Han to subdue them." ”

Weng Guimi's tone softened a lot: "After so many years, there should be an end, it is the long-cherished wish of the Han to subdue the Xiongnu, and only by getting rid of this threat can the Western Regions get real peace." We can't back down anymore, it's time for us to fight back. ”

"Well, my lord, it's better to give it a go than to endure it repeatedly, and if it comes to the odds of winning, we are the better one." Liu Ye cheered for Weng Guimi.

Weng Guimi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at Liu Ye, and a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes: "Queen, I have worked hard for you all these years, if I don't have you by my side, I really don't know how to deal with all this." ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "The king is wise, the concubines dare not take credit, and it is the greatest blessing for the concubines to assist the king to become a famous monarch in history." ”

Weng Guimi said movingly: "It's really difficult for you, in order to fulfill your duties, stay by the side of someone you don't love, for Wusun and for your nominal husband, you have paid too much." ”

"Don't say that, my lord." Liu Ye had mixed feelings in her heart, she remembered the person in her heart, and a trace of sadness suddenly came up.

"Actually, I don't deserve you to be so nice to me." Weng Guimi took Liu Ye's hand and looked directly into her eyes, "I know you can't forget him in your heart, but I selfishly keep you by my side, the more I covet your good, the more reluctant I am to let go, knowing that your heart is no longer with me, I still want to redeem it unwillingly." ”

"Ye'er, can I call you Ye'er?" Weng Guimi stared at her affectionately, "I really want to go back to the past with you, I don't know if there is a chance?" ”

Liu Ye reluctantly smiled: "Isn't it very good that we are like this now, Suo Lang, even if we can't be lovers, we can still be relatives." We have been together for so many years, you are irreplaceable in my heart, sometimes I am a brother when you are a brother, sometimes as a confidant, you are my relatives, even if I can leave the person I love, it is impossible to leave my relatives. Solang, isn't that bad? ”

Weng Guimi couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he immediately smiled with satisfaction: "This is good, really, very good." ”

"Queen......" Weng Guimi returned to his usual expression, "Recently, I have been thinking about Nimi's succession, and if Nimi becomes the king of Wusun, what will he do to you, I am worried." ”

"If the king has any ideas, it is better to hear them." Liu Ye also wanted to discuss this topic with him, but now that he had started, it was much easier.

"You see, as soon as Wannian ascended the throne, this kind of thing happened, it seems sudden, but in fact, the longer the contradiction is hidden, the more powerful it will erupt. The princes of the Shache Kingdom were not convinced, and dared to rebel and rebel at the slightest provocation. Look at our Wusun again, the mother and son of Nimi are obedient to you on the surface, but in fact, they are not convinced in their hearts! When I was in danger, I temporarily took the throne as king, because the first king could not see the future of Wusun, and he gave me the throne because he was afraid that their mother and son would have no one to take care of them. ”

Weng Guimi smiled bitterly: "I understand all this, how can I not understand it, no one knows the behavior of the first king better than me, if he was not forced to do so, how could he take such a big risk." He used this dangerous trick to save Wusun and Nimi's mother and son, and in the end he still wanted me to die for him. But I don't care, for you, for the people I want to protect, knowing that I am their shield, I still have no hesitation to become the king of Wusun. ”

"This is the right decision in my life, I have always been indecisive and ruined my love for this, but I can finally do my best to save and make up for my previous mistakes. Wusun can have today, not all of it is my own credit, but also the dedication and sacrifice of the queen, General Chang, Master Shi, Feng Yan and so on. If our efforts can only be exchanged for more than ten years of peace, I don't think I can be reconciled even if I die. ”

"Is the king worried that the succession to the throne in the future will be unfavorable to us?" Liu Ye followed his words and said.

"Wouldn't it?" Weng Guimi said worriedly, "Originally, I wasn't worried, I thought that as long as we didn't hurt others, others would naturally be tolerant." But this is not the case, it is not that we can ask others to be tolerant if we are tolerant. The muddy mother and son have endured it for so many years, and they are worried about whether the throne is not guaranteed, and they always mention that I have a different heart! ”

"This is the truth, and the concubines can also see it." Liu Ye said indifferently, "Besides, with the king's current momentum, even if he abandons it, no one will have any objections." The mess left by the first king has become the golden cradle of the Western Regions, and this achievement is the king's, and everyone can see it! Even if the king has a different heart, it is human nature, and even handing over Wusun's future to his son is expected! ”

"Everyone's expectation?" Weng Guimi was still a little worried, "Won't others say that I broke my promise?" I obviously promised the first king, how can I go back on my word? ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, and the king of Shache would rather pass on the throne to Wan Nian than let his relatives inherit it, isn't it just for the future of Shache country! He is really thinking about the country and the people by doing this! The king has reigned for many years and has pursued a pro-Han policy, and it is this kind of decision that has promoted the development of Wusun, but after Nimi succeeds to the throne, he will definitely go the other way, and he will not be willing to use the power of the Han Dynasty, because he has the blood of the Huns in his body. This is an unchangeable fact and a cruel reality. ”

"What the queen said is indeed reasonable, but the first king wished to let Nimi succeed to the throne, and if I pass the throne to my son without authorization, the ministers of the court will also accuse me!"

"The concubine thinks that it is the opposite, as I said just now, the development of Wusun benefits from the decision of the king, and the ministers of the court and even the people are now living in abundance, who wants to live back to the kind of wandering life in the past. Nimi succeeds to the throne, he will not follow the pro-Han policy of the king, and Wusun will become a turbulent situation again, but if the king's son succeeds to the throne, then the situation will be very different, Wusun can not only continue the current good situation, but also develop better. ”

"Since the king gave up his previous promise, it was all for the future of Wusun and for the sake of the people, what reason do the ministers of the court and the central government have to oppose it, who will accuse the king of breaking his promise, everyone is glad that it is too late!"

Weng Guimi was silent for a long time, carefully recalled every word Liu Ye said, sometimes shook his head, sometimes sighed, and suddenly slammed his fist on the table: "But he is waiting for the succession, how can he wait any longer, wait until I squeeze him out little by little, and wait until I support Yuan Guimi?" ”

Liu Ye immediately responded: "The king doesn't have to do anything, the king just needs to continue to sit on your throne, Nimi's mother and son can't wait, Xu Qige took advantage of the king's absence to spread rumors that Yuan Guimi was not the biological concubine, wanting to demean Yuan Guimi's background and get rid of the threat he posed to Nimi step by step." Fearing that his actions would cause us to be on guard, he made a show of loyalty to me, vowing not to succeed to the throne for ten years. ”

Weng Guimi was shocked: "Did their mother and son really do this? Yuan Guimi is just a ten-year-old child, and Xu Qige didn't even let him go? Even such despicable means are made out? What does it mean that Nimi claims not to succeed to the throne within ten years, and he thinks that I was ordered to be in danger in order to claim this throne? I am reluctant to let go of this throne? ”

"The king is not angry, Xu Qige is secretly making trouble, and the mud is retreating to advance, and the ambition of their mother and son is clearly revealed." Liu Ye calmly persuaded, "Don't be like them, the king is safe to win now, we don't need to worry about them, as long as the overall situation is stable, in a few years, their mother and son can only admit that they are losers." ”

Weng Guimi nodded: "I have always remembered the last words of the previous king, and I never thought of fighting with Nimi's mother and son, nor did I think of letting my son replace Nimi to succeed to the throne." We did our best for Wusun, but instead of remembering our goodness, their mother and son thought that we had ulterior motives and took precautions in advance. That's it, that's it, what's the point of being afraid of an unkind and unrighteous reputation, if you can't protect your relatives when you're alive, what's the matter if your reputation is good or bad! Queen, I know what to do, and thanks to your prompt reminder, I will have to leave a way out in the future. ”

"King, you won't blame me for being troublesome, will you!" Liu Ye looked at him embarrassed and said again.

Weng Guimi shook his head and smiled: "How come, I don't know what Nimi's mother and son are thinking in their hearts, if I knew, I would have taken precautions." Whoever doesn't plan more for himself, I'm the same, I have you, I have children, I have to think about you, if I take the first step in the future, I won't be at ease! ”

Liu Ye's eyes were red: "King, why do you say such a thing, you said that you want to accompany your concubines to grow old slowly, and now you are only in the prime of life, how can you think of such a distant thing." ”

"It's me who lost my words, don't blame the queen." Weng Guimi smiled and coaxed Liu Ye, "Okay, good, let's grow old together, if we have the chance, we will take a few children and go to see the sunrise in Moon Bay." ”

Liu Ye burst into tears and laughed: "King, don't talk nonsense in the future, let's go, let's go to dinner, I can't eat and sleep well these days." ”

"Me too!" Weng Guimi pointed to his stomach, squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's full of thoughts, where can I still eat." ”

The mutiny in the country of Shache came to an end for the time being, but there were still movements in various places from time to time, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest, and as soon as they took office, they immediately surrounded and suppressed traitors everywhere. The old king watched over the restless princely ministers in the court, and was determined to fight these traitors and rebels to the end.

The Xiongnu nobles saw that the king of Shache could not rebel, so they naturally did not dare to ask the Xiongnu royal family to send troops to support, and no longer took into account the morality of the so-called friends.

Liu Ye decided to send troops to help Wannian completely exterminate the traitor Yu Party, Chang Hui took the initiative to ask for help, but unexpectedly, before leaving, he received a secret report from the Han Dynasty.

"Emperor Wu of Han is dead!"

The sudden bad news made Liu Ye at a loss, and the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would definitely cause great turmoil. If the Xiongnu received the news, they would probably not be able to wait to launch an invasion. In this situation, it is tantamount to making matters worse!
