Chapter 659: What the Heqin Is It?

Chu Luo Khan's guy is a passable and over-the-top type, or rather, he thinks that it is good that the Turks can control the steppe, as for invading the Central Plains in person, he is not too interested, he prefers to learn from the Han people, instructing those Central Plains heroes who have taken refuge in him to fight each other to the death, and then profit from it.

However, Jieli is different, this guy has always been ambitious since he was a khan, in the past, Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen, and Jieli was the leader of the most warlike faction. If it weren't for Yang Guang's good luck, maybe he would have become a prisoner of the Turks.

After becoming a khan, he first married his former stepmother and now sister-in-law, Princess Yicheng, in order to collect the hearts of the ministers of the Golden Horde, and then, he joined forces and fought with the prepared Western Turks.

And he also took advantage of this opportunity to recruit more people under his command, and as for the disobedient tribes, they were either sent to death when he fought against the Western Turks, or he directly waved the butcher's knife in his hand to exterminate the rebels.

In just a few months, the entire Eastern Turks were subjugated to his coercion, and the Central Plains princes who had attached themselves to it expressed their humility to the steppe overlord.

When Wang Shichong wanted to take Hancheng before, he sent an envoy to tell the Turks, but Chuluo Khan did not think so, but because Jieli Khan insisted on it, he agreed to unite with Wang Shichong and conspire with Guanzhong.

However, because Wei Yunqi found out their plan in advance, he strangled Kankan to start the war before the accident, so that Liang Shidu and the Eastern Turks, who had already prepared the butcher's knife, could only squat outside Yan'an County and stare dryly.

After that, although we collected troops and camped and continued to put on the face that we want friendship and not war, both the government and the opposition know very well that the peace between the two sides will definitely only be temporary, and I believe that in the near future, there will definitely be a war to the death.

"However, no matter what, my daughter's marriage can only be decided by me. Not to mention that they are young, even if they are of marriageable age, I will not point my daughter to anyone. Yours, understand? Ben Gongzi stared at Tang Jian, word by word.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible?" Tang Jian rolled his eyelids, looking like he couldn't laugh or cry. "The emperor is the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, how can she easily marry a foreign race, and the minister still has this brain."

"What do you mean, Brother Mao?" I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still had doubts in my mind.

Tang Jian began to speak patiently and politely. It finally made me understand that there are so many content introductions to Heqin. The so-called harmony, the first to be put forward is the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the focus is on the Xiongnu to endure humiliation and concessions, in the hope of being able to reconcile the struggle with foreign races, in order to be able to avoid war.

According to historical records, as early as the period of King Xiang of Zhou, King Xiang wanted to attack Zheng, so he married Di Nu as the queen and fought Zheng with Rong Dibing. This is the earliest event in history, and since then the Han and Tang dynasties until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the act of harmony is endless. Although some of these relatives are forced, some are voluntary, some succeed, and some fail, as an important means and strategy for dealing with ethnic relations, they are often used by the rulers, and the reason for this is that most of them will have certain results, or can temporarily postpone the outbreak of war, or can express friendship and encompassing the other party.

And the means of harmony are also varied, for example, with the daughter of the clan as the princess, marrying a different race, or marrying the nation after the palace maid gives the title.

This is definitely not a fool, but a historical fact, during the Western Han Dynasty, after the death of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, his son Liu Zheng ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty who summoned Wang Zhaojun into the palace. At this time, the relationship between Hu Han and the Han Dynasty was already very good. In 33 B.C., Hu Han Xie Shan Yu went to Chang'an again, and this time he made a request for peace.

The suggestion of "harmony" was originally put forward by Lou Jingde when the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the situation at that time was that the Xiongnu were strong and weak, and the Empress Lu only had one daughter, and he couldn't bear to marry her far away to Fanbang, so he had always picked the daughter of a clan to pretend to be a princess to marry out of Lu. But this time, Emperor Yuan of Han decided to pick a palace maid for him. The reason may be that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was already strong and weak, and there was no need to pick the daughters of the emperor's relatives, after all, there were not many daughters of the emperor's relatives, and there were many palace maids; Moreover, Hu Han Yeshan was in Chang'an at this time, and let the daughter of the clan pretend to be a princess, how could such a big matter be hidden from him.

"Zhaojun out of the Sai" is a major event in the Han-Hungarian exchanges, "Hanshu. The Biography of the Xiongnu and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of the Southern Xiongnu records this incident, especially the record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Zhaojun is a child, and the people of Nanjun are also." At the beginning, when Emperor Yuan, he was elected to the court with a good family. When the Han evil came to the court, the emperor gave it to five palace maids. Zhaojun entered the palace for several years, and he was not allowed to see the emperor, accumulating grief and resentment, but asked the court to order it. Hu Han evil resignation conference, the emperor summoned the five daughters to show it, Zhaojun Fengrong and beautiful decorations, Guangming Han Palace, Gu Jingfei returned, and Zhu moved left and right. The emperor was shocked and wanted to stay, but it was difficult to break his trust, so he fought with the Huns. Gave birth to two sons. And Hu Han evil died, the son of the Yan family was established, and he wanted a wife, Zhaojun wrote a letter to ask for return, and the emperor's edict was from the Hu custom, and then he was reverted to the Hou Shan Yu Yan Shiyan. In the text, Zhaojun automatically seeks to do and Emperor Yuan is moved by Zhaojun's beauty, and the storylines such as "I want to stay" are very expressive, and the beauty of Zhaojun jumps on the page.

And Wang Zhaojun is just a palace maid, but he can become a symbol of harmony, I have to say that when the empire is strong, even if you marry a palace maid, those alien races only dare to carefully treat the palace maid as a princess.

Of course, if the country wins and weakens, even if it is a real princess who marries in the past, I am afraid that its status will not be much better than that of ordinary slaves.

Sometimes, harmony and kinship will even become a political means of the court, such as in the sixth year of the Great Cause, the Western Turkic Khan proposed to the Sui Dynasty. The Sui court thought it was a good opportunity to split the Western Turks, so they sent someone to the envoy of the Shekui Khan: "Chuluo Khan (this guy is from the Western Turks, not the Chuluo Khan of the Eastern Turks) is unwilling to submit to the imperial court, and the Shekui Khan is very good to the Sui Dynasty." If you can kill the Khan of Chura, I will definitely marry you. So he shot the Khan and raised troops to attack Luo Khan, and Luo Khan was defeated. He abandoned his wife and son, led thousands of soldiers and horses to flee eastward, and fled to the Sui Dynasty in December of the same year, where he met Emperor Yang of Sui and was detained.

Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty named him "Hosa Na Khan", and in the tenth year of the Great Cause, he named the daughter of the clan as "Princess Xinyi" and married him as his wife. Because the Khan is no longer the monarch of the Western Turks, this time it is not a standard peacemaker. In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, and the Khan of Hosa followed Yu Culture to Hebei. Yu culture and will be defeated, and the Khan of Hosa will return to Chang'an, the capital of my Chinese emperor.

For this so-called khan, I still don't know what to do, I only let him keep the name of Khan, and then throw him into any idle position in the Ministry of Rites, as for his mother-in-law, the princess of Xinyi still has her eyes on him.

Before, some ministers proposed to put this girl to death, saying that the royal blood of the previous dynasty could not be kept. And the Khan cried and begged, and this son didn't think that a princess who had lost her backstage could do anything earth-shattering, so he didn't do anything to Princess Xinyi, and the two of them left it to them. I never thought that the transmission of this son made the Khan and his wife very grateful.

At present, although he is arranged in a leisure place like the Ministry of Rites, he is always invited to the General Staff and the Intelligence Bureau from time to time to explain the customs and customs of the Western Turks, the composition of the internal tribes, the entanglements between them, and the friendship between them.

Okay, I'm off topic again, but I can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame Tang Jian, it's Tang Jian's nonsense. Now, the Western Turks have come to ask for marriage again, and this prince is the emperor, and this issue is naturally decided by me.

But the problem is that this prince doesn't want to behave in such a humiliating friendship and pro-activity, and many ministers of civil and military affairs don't understand it very much. At least they thought that exchanging a woman for the submission of the Western Turk Khan was a deal that would never lose money, so why not?

Not to mention the unbelligerent civil ministers, even if it is a vote of military ministers, they also agree with it, what kind of courtesy, righteousness and benevolence are the opening of their mouths, and the opening of their mouths by military ministers is a naked display of facts. In a word, it is very beneficial for us to temporarily reconcile the Western Turks, which is necessary and deserved.

Since ancient times, up to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, down to the previous dynasty, there are friendly moves, according to historical records, as early as the period of King Xiang of Zhou (651 BC to 619 BC), King Xiang wanted to kill Zheng, so he married Di Nu as the queen, and Rong Di soldiers to fight Zheng together. This is an early occurrence of peace events that are clearly recorded in history.

Since then, there have been endless incidents of kinship, of course, more often than not, in order to ease bilateral relations through marriage.

Ben Gongzi heard that his temples on both sides were swollen, looking left and right, and he was stunned that no one was standing in my direction to think about it, and he had a headache. Even my mother-in-law was very unimpressed, thinking that it was actually a good thing to find a woman who was willing to take the initiative to stand up, canonize her as the county lord, and marry the Western Turks.

Being able to ease relations with the Western Turks is very beneficial to the Western Regions of the Chinese Empire, and there is another problem that since Jieli Khan hates the Central Plains, and the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks both want to eat each other alive. According to the saying that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, it is a good thing for us to make good friends with the Western Turks.

I also admit that it makes sense, but it's really uncomfortable to let Ben Gongzi give a woman to a different race, but I can't convince the ministers, it's a headache.

As a dignified son, I really didn't expect to encounter such trouble on top of this matter. Looking at this group of spitting stars flying across the complaining party, Ben Gongzi's mood is very unbeautiful, one or two are historical ministers, but look at what it looks like now? Anyway, I think this ticket is completely self-defeating, which makes me more and more speechless about the sanctimonious image of these historical ministers.
