Chapter 372 The two countries negotiate with each other
Even if he had been mentally prepared for the Huns coming here, Liu Sheng still couldn't bear the anger boiling in his heart when he heard Huyantu say word by word about the demands of the Huns in this diplomatic negotiation in front of the Han monarchs and ministers.
Listen to what Huyantu is saying?
——The war in the spring, the war that caused the Han family to lose troops and lose generals, tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, and the population of the four border counties plummeted by forty percent in an instant, was actually just a 'small friction'!
——Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, the Huns, who have always used the Han border as a back garden and storage warehouse, actually attach great importance to the 'brotherhood between them and the Han family'!
——The Xiongnu not only wanted to marry a delicate princess Liu Han, but also named the princess of the first emperor and the sister of today's son Liu Sheng!
Regarding this series of demands, Liu Sheng can only say: This is a certain scholar surnamed Li in later generations, and he categorically did not dare to sign such a humiliating treaty.
Let's not mention the war in the spring, how it was characterized by the Huns in court;
It is a series of follow-up requirements, and any single one is enough to make Liu Sheng angry, and he will kill Huyantu, a Xiongnu nobleman, on the spot and abandon the city on this Xuanshu Palace.
Marrying the princess of the first emperor, what does the military minister want to do?
Be Liu Sheng's brother-in-law and brother-in-law?
There is no need to mention the marriage of relatives - there is no need to look at it, Liu Sheng can predict that the Huns will definitely open their mouths like every lion in the past.
What made Liu Sheng feel most ashamed was the gifts from the military ministers: the scepter and the crown.
——Liu Shengdignified Chinese nobleman, the body of the Son of Heaven, why do you need the scepter and crown granted by the Northern Barbarians?
If you really want to accept it, won't you become the son of Liu Han, accept the canonization of Xiongnu Shan Yu, and become the 'Xiongnu Han King'?
In the follow-up parts, such as 'Shan Yu hopes to meet His Majesty at the border', Liu Sheng didn't even hear a word.
The son of a daughter can't sit down.
Liu Sheng didn't intend to give the military minister that straw bag out of a hot head, and the opportunity to stage the siege of Baideng again.
The military minister, not the ancestor Maodun;
Liu Sheng is not the great-grandfather Liu Bang······
"Oh······"
"Take the Huyan Department and personally pick up your envoy······"
After a very short period of thought, Liu Shengman's childish voice with sarcasm was easy to sound in the Xuanshu Palace.
On both sides of the hall, all the ministers and officials who could still move had basically rolled up their sleeves, as if Liu Sheng had given an order, and they were going to pounce on it to tear up Huyantu and the deputy envoy of the Huns from the Han people.
"Your envoy knows what will happen if my hand falls, and what will happen to the envoy and the deputy envoy?"
As he spoke, he saw Liu Sheng raise his hand leisurely, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and looked playfully at Huyantu, who was still standing in the center of the hall.
On Huyantu's side, the Han deputy envoy, who was still faintly indignant and resentful, finally gradually revealed a look of fear after Liu Sheng's words came into his ears.
- This, but the Han family!
——Liu Han, who has a strong folk style and an extremely strong martial style!
Although since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been a tacit understanding in the Central Plains that 'the two countries are at war and will not be killed', but the deputy envoy of the Han people is very sure: this tacit understanding will never include the Huns.
The two countries are at war with the two countries, and he doesn't kill them, but there are two kingdoms and regimes composed of 'people', right?
But the Huns were not.
At least the deputy envoy of the Han people deeply understands: even now, in the cognition of the vast majority of Han people, the Huns are still not 'people', but belong to the category of 'brute beasts that look like people'.
Since it was a negotiation between Liu Han, who was composed of 'people', and the Xiongnu, who were composed of 'brute beasts', it was not a big deal when he was killed.
In particular, the trip of the Xiongnu mission is making Huyantu, who happens to be one of the eight pillars of the Xiongnu, leave the life of such a high-level power, which may not be a loss-making deal for the Han family······
As the snorting of the hundreds of officials and ministers in the hall became heavier and heavier, and his face became more and more red, the Han deputy envoy was finally full of fear, and whispered a few words to Huyantu sideways.
Unexpectedly, when Huyantu heard this, he only smiled and shook his head indifferently, and then raised his head gracefully, and even arrogantly put his hands behind his back.
- Huyantu, who is only a big right, does not even have the right to inherit the throne alone, and can only barely rank in the top ten people in the decision-making level of the Xiongnu power, just proudly raised his head and looked directly at the monarch of the Han family.
Only above the corners of his mouth, there was a very indifferent smile.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you won't leave this hand behind."
"Because His Majesty the Emperor knows: as long as you put down this hand, it means that thousands, tens of thousands of Han people will disappear from the land of the Han people."
"As for the foreign minister, it is just one of the most inconspicuous of the countless corpses······"
After saying this, Hu Yantu didn't forget to turn sideways with a smile and pointed at the Han deputy envoy beside him with a different finger.
"Just now, the deputy envoy of the foreign minister said: Since you have shouldered the mission of Shan Yu, don't use such words to stimulate His Majesty the Emperor anymore."
"But what the foreign minister wants to tell His Majesty the Emperor is that every word that the foreign minister says is not intended to provoke His Majesty the Emperor, or to provoke these Han courtiers."
"—Every word spoken by the foreign minister is an oracle of my lord Shan Yu."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, there are only two choices."
"One: Agree to my lord Shan Yu's request, prepare the princess and dowry gifts for the bridal, and let the ministers set off from Chang'an before the arrival of June, and arrive in Longcheng before Shan Yu's big tent returns to the south of the country."
"Second: From the first day of June, I will be ready to be killed in this Weiyang palace by my lord Shan Yu at any time······
···
"Your Majesty the Emperor, maybe you forgot, right?"
"A few months ago, the warriors of my Great Huns had a 'greeting' with His Majesty the Emperor in Ganquan Palace, which is very close to Chang'an."
"——You might as well tell His Majesty the Emperor: At that time, my lord was single, and it was not more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an······"
"The foreign minister thinks that perhaps in the near future, His Majesty the Emperor and my lord will have the opportunity to meet."
"It's just that after we met, my lord Shan Yu is still born of heaven and earth, and the sun and moon are placed in the Huns."
"And His Majesty the Emperor ······"
Slowly said the last sentence, Hu Yantu laughed twice, then raised his head indifferently, and looked at Liu Sheng's raised hand with some interest.
It's not just Huyantu: everyone who is in the Xuanshu Hall at this moment, as far as the eye can see, is the hanging hand.
It is the hearts of all that hang with that hand······
"Fall!"
"Falling, it is the beginning of the decisive battle, the beginning of the meritorious achievements of our generation of martial artists!"
···
"Never!"
"Your Majesty, you must not be so willful and put the world in the world in fire and water!"
···
"The right big household, even if you take it to the high temple to worship your ancestors, it is also an excellent sacrifice······"
"It's just that the price ······"
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with a silence that was obviously short, but it made people feel incomparably long.
Everyone looked directly at Liu Sheng's hand hanging by his side, either longing, expecting, frightened, or panicking.
It wasn't until the end that the hand, which was stuck in the air like a lamp arm, finally moved······
"Your Excellency, that's right."
"—If this hand falls, countless people will die."
"But your envoy, it's not entirely right."
"For if I had fallen this hand, the thousands of dead would have had rings pierced in their ears and noses, tattooed all over their bodies, and nomads with their hair draped."
"And, by no means less than half······"
As he said this, Liu Sheng finally stiffened his face and withdrew his hand in front of him without a trace.
Then he lowered his head, pretended to look at the Xiongnu national letter, and then sneered and threw it aside.
When he raised his head again, the young son of heaven had returned to his usual indifferent face with a smile.
"Your envoy is so proficient in the language of my Han people, so he should also understand the past of my Han people, right?"
Hu Yantu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"In that case, then I'll give the foreign envoy a story that happened in the past."
"How?"
"Hey ······"
···
"About three or four hundred years ago, the name of my Zhuxia had not yet been unified, and the world was divided into hundreds of vassal states by Zongzhou, and there were endless disputes and wars between countries."
"—the same as the struggle between the tribes of the nomads: at that time, the struggle between the people of our summer also made the strong stronger, and the weaker were swallowed up by the strong without exception."
"In the end, Zhuxia, which was divided into two hundred shares by Zong Zhou, was left with the last seven powerhouses after hundreds of years of strife······"
When I first heard that Liu Sheng wanted to tell him a story, Huyantu was only unclear for a while, so he just thought that he was the little emperor of the Han people, and he wanted to work hard to find a way back;
But when he heard the beginning of the story told by Liu Sheng, because the tribe came from the south of the curtain and fought with the Han people all the year round, and Huyantu, who had studied the Han people, he only couldn't help but let out a soft murmur.
"Qin, Qi, Yan, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han······"
"—that's right."
"—Ying Qin, Tian Qi, Ji Yan, Xiong Chu, as well as Zhao, Wei, and Han."
As a result, Hu Yantu's words, Liu Sheng still smiled lightly;
Only the coldness in his eyes made the ministers and officials in the hall roll up their sleeves and want to 'do a big job' in the main hall of this Xuan Room, and they all sat back in their seats silently.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Sheng's immature, crisp, but incomparably clear voice sounded in the Xuanshu Palace······
"The Qin people are tigers and wolves, Hexi in the north and Bashu in the south, but they are still not satisfied, and the heart of the Han Valley in the east is not dead;"
"There are also Su Qin and Zhang Yi's generation, who travel in the countries with the benefit of their tongues, and intimidate the countries to cede the city and give up the land without spending a single soldier of Yingqin."
"The nations cut the land, you can get a day of peace, sleep and wake up, and the Qin army will be there again;"
"If you don't cut it, the whole country will be panicked, everyone is afraid of the tiger and wolf Qin, and they don't dare to slander Qin, on the contrary, the monarch will be stupid and incompetent······"
···
"In the past few decades, the wider the territory of Qin, the narrower the territory of the columns."
"When people of insight wake up like a dream, and their hoarse voice is to tell the world: Qin's tiger and wolf are greedy, and only by winning the battle can the world be at peace."
"However, at that time, the people were outnumbered and narrow, the kings and ministers were mediocre and incompetent, and the army and the people were terrified and uneasy; If you don't threaten with the fear of your life, you don't dare to face each other with the Qin Ge spear of the tiger and wolf. ”
"In the end, the six countries each had their own government, and they fought openly and secretly, fought for power and profit, and then broke through the Qin tiger and wolf one by one, and the two hundred princes of Zong Zhou were all attributed to the Qin ······"
···
···
······
"What do you think of this story?"
After a long time, Liu Sheng's low and gentle voice sounded again, recalling Huyantu, who was addicted to imagination and unable to extricate himself, as well as the hearts of everyone in the hall.
And when he raised his head, Huyantu clearly saw that on the imperial couch, the young son of heaven was still a little immature, and it was by no means a majestic figure, and a trace of palpitating coercion flashed······
"Your envoy thinks that my Han family is compared to the Six Kingdoms?"
"Xiongnu, how is it compared to Yingqin?"
"How are the people of my Han family compared to the people of the Six Kingdoms?"
"How is the king of my Han family compared to the king of the Six Kingdoms, how is your lord Shanyu, and how is it compared to the king of Qin?"
In a sonorous and powerful tone, he said this question in order, and when Huyantu's lips moved slightly, Liu Sheng spoke again, giving a corresponding series of answers to his series of questions in order.
"——My Han family has won the righteousness of the country and the benevolence of governance, and it is far from winning the six countries!"
"——The Xiongnu Northern Barbarians led the beasts to eat people, and they wore their hair to the left, and they were far away!"
"——The name of my Han family is strong and fierce, the people are still martial, and the victory of the six countries is far away!"
"——Your lord is only stubborn and self-serving, and disputes arise for his own selfishness, and he does not repent and sends his envoys to oppress again, and he is far from !! government."
Four 'far aways' in a row, Liu Sheng became more and more excited, and his words became more and more intense!
provoked the hundreds of officials and ministers in the hall to pant again, blushing, and viciously locked their eyes in the center of the hall, and Liu Sheng's smiling voice sounded in the hall for the last time.
Only this time, Liu Sheng didn't look at Huyantu again;
Instead, he turned sideways and pointed to the 'Hun National Letter' with a strange smile on the side, which was one foot and two inches long and wide······
"If this is the sincerity of your lord Shan Yu, then my sincerity is the spear and bow in the Chang'an arsenal;"
"I have heard that people are doing it, and the sky is watching."
"—Even what people do, the heavens are watching, let alone the things that the Son of Heaven does?"
···
"This letter of state, let's take it back with you."
"Tell your lord Shan Yu: Although I am not as good as the crown, I still have a heart of blood and a hundred catties of flesh and blood;"
"Although I am a Han, I still have tens of millions of people, and there are no less than a million sharp soldiers;"
"Although the Huns have Hu Qi, my Han family also has to be an elite official."
···
"If you want to marry the princess of Emperor Xiaojing, then come to Chang'an in person."
"As long as you bow three times and bow nine times, and worship the ancestors of my Han family in the Tai and Gao two temples, this marriage, I will allow it on behalf of the emperor······"
···
"Your envoy walks slowly."
"If you have time, you can stay in Chang'an for a few days to play and watch;"
"If it's a coincidence, maybe the one who accompanied the envoy on his back was my pro-army, and I don't know······"
