Tuyuhun frequently raised troops and coveted Tao and Min, which has historical origins.

It is not without precedent for Qualu to die of a son and still put down his position to send an envoy for peace.

It is said that Murong Fu, the fourteenth chief of Tuyuhun, built the two cities of Taoyang and Nihe in Gannan, which were invaded and occupied by the Northern Wei Dynasty...... Later, Liangzhou was in turmoil, Liangzhou people Wan Gan Bodhi and others imprisoned and assassinated Song Cheng, Song Cheng had no choice but to ask Murong Fu Lianchou, Murong Fu Lianchou took advantage of the situation to take Liangzhou, shook aside, and became the host from the guest.

Liangzhou is blocked on the Hexi Road, which is an important trade route of the Northern Wei Dynasty, whether it is a yak on the plateau or a treasure in the southwest, all of them pass through here and enter the Northern Wei Dynasty. After Murong Fu grabbed Liangzhou, "the pass is not passable, and the contribution is not clear." ”

It can be described as a lose-lose situation.

After Murong Fu's son Murong Quarlu succeeded to the throne, he changed the tense situation between his father and Wei (which was already Eastern and Western Wei at that time), frequently showed favor to Wei, and even married the princess of Wei as his wife, and paid tribute.

He also admired Sinicization, willing to learn the culture of the Central Plains, Yangxia Taishou Fu marked the envoy Tuyuhun, saw a few books on his bedside, so he praised him for "Tongwen Mo".

Tuyuhun was at the peak of his reign. Shi Zaikulu began to call himself a khan, and lived in Fuqi City, fifteen miles west of Qinghai. The land is both good and end, three thousand miles from east to west, and more than 1,000 miles from north to south.

But if Qualu is friendly to the Central Plains Dynasty, it is pure. In the view of this Tuyuhun Khan, sending envoys to seek good and seeking good, robbery to robbery, one yard to one yard, so there was such a strange phenomenon in the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Tuesday Dynasty: Tuyuhun sent envoys to pay tribute every year, and the above table was called a minister, but there were generals in the western frontier every year to warn, who else could it be that this invasion of the northern periphery was not Tuyuhun?

If you want to send troops to conquer, Tuyuhun on the front foot has just finished robbing, and their messenger on the back foot has come...... One stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and the other was that Zhou Jun couldn't touch the broken place of Tuyuhun for a while, so he could only choose to forgive him.

Once or twice, the Northern Zhou Dynasty endured it, but Qualu came every year, which made the Northern Zhou angry.

It's just that the clay man still has three points of fire, and Kwalu is too deceitful!

In 553 A.D., finally let the Northern Zhou seize the opportunity, this year Kualu sent an envoy to visit the Northern Qi, on the way back, Yuanzhou Thorn Shi Ning knew their traces, led a light cavalry attack to kill Chiquan, captured Tugu Hun servant shot begging Fu touch, general Zhai Panmi, Hu Shang more than 200 people, camels, horses, silk cloth and other goods tens of thousands.

A slap hit Kwa Lu in the face loudly, and it was hot and painful. That's not the end, in 555 A.D., the Turkic wooden pole Khan pretended to go to Liangzhou, and brazenly attacked Tuyuhun, and the Northern Zhou did not forget to step on the face of Kwaralu again, and ordered Shi Ning to lead the cavalry to follow behind the Turks to take advantage of it, and form a group to beat Tuyuhun...... Kwa Lu fled to Nanshan in a panic, and the wooden pole divided the troops to encircle and suppress, and successively broke through the tree stump and the two cities of He Zhen.

It's a pity that the wooden pole Khan was interested in money, and he didn't take Qualu seriously at all, and after obtaining the treasures that Qualu had hoarded, he returned with Shi Shiran.

In 560, Helan Xiang conquered Tuyuhun, and recaptured the two cities of Taoyang and Nihe again, and many of the tribes around Tuyuhun broke away from Tuyuhun and returned to Zhou, Tuyuhun's combat power is not easy to say, but there is also the spirit of desperate Sanlang, and he was pressed to the ground again and again, and he was not afraid of pain every time, and he was more tenacious than Xiaoqiang.

Therefore, Qualu sent envoys into Qi, not necessarily because he was really afraid of Gao Wei.

On the one hand, the strength is there, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is fighting according to Tuyuhun, the Northern Qi is fighting according to the Northern Zhou, the Northern Qi is obviously stronger than the Northern Zhou, even if Kwarlu has a kind of self-confidence that understands the king, he also knows to wait and see, and see the attitude of the Qi lord towards Tuyuhun; Second, the scene of Liu Fang carrying 300 soldiers to kill the Tuyuhun army on the north bank of Taoshui is still vivid, and Kwalu is still a little afraid.

In all kinds of complicated thoughts, the great prince of Tuyuhun Shifu set foot on the passage to Yecheng.

After Gao Wei learned of the situation, he was a little ridiculous, he was stunned for a while, rolled up the book in his hand, sat up straight from the rocking chair, pointed to Pei Shiju who was standing on the side, and said with a smile:

"You've guessed it, I'm a trustworthy person, and I'm willing to gamble and lose...... Say, what reward do you want? ”

Pei Shiju shook at the emperor, and then stood a little restrained, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The minister is just blind, and he doesn't dare to ask His Majesty for a reward, so the minister still thinks it's okay." ”

Since Pei Shiju entered the office, he has been promoted to a high position three times and deposed three times, which can be described as a big ups and downs. This time, because of a small pat on the back and persuaded His Majesty to repair the palace, he was demoted three levels in a row and kicked back to the original point, and overnight, he changed from a right-hand candidate who was watched by the government and the opposition to a dog that everyone avoided, and Pei Shiju also felt very aggrieved!

Pei Shiju is afraid of this moody majesty, he can't control the emperor's pulse at all, but the emperor seems to be clear about what he thinks, which makes Pei Shiju feel the most depressed!

Pei Shiju was born in a famous family and is extremely talented. Not to mention, what is even more rare is that he is tactful, and he has a natural skill when he is a child, no matter how good the personality of the people around him is, he can get along well. Smart people have high IQ and EQ, and they like to ponder when they have nothing to do, ponder people, and prefer to ponder people's hearts...... It is also with this trait that Pei Shiju can always settle complex interpersonal relationships and things.

But when it came to the emperor, it didn't seem to work.

According to common sense, the emperor should like luxury, right? You should like beautiful women, right?

How can the dignity of the emperor be highlighted without a magnificent palace? How can you fill the loneliness of an emperor without beauties?

But none of these His Majesty in front of him are interested, there are only a few concubines, and almost all the palace maids have been sent home to get married and have babies, and there are almost no women under the age of thirty in the palace!

The people talk about it, and they all say that this majesty is pure-hearted and has few desires, and is a good emperor who is diligent and thrifty and loves the people, for the courtiers, such an emperor is too perfect, and there is almost no desire except for meritorious service!

This is very uncomfortable, Pei Shiju always wants to shoot a horse but always can't find the right direction, after being educated to be a man several times, Pei Shiju no longer dares to guess the emperor's thoughts. Seeing that Pei Shiju was sweating profusely, Gao Wei put the book in his hand on the table, his eyes showed a hint of understanding, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, urging: "No, you have no jokes, hurry up, my patience is limited." ”

Pei Shiju was in a hurry, his eyes were confused, and he happened to aim at the book that fell on the table, and said in a hurry: "The minister wants the book that His Majesty has just read!" The minister wants this book, and nothing else. ”

Gao Wei was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "I have paid a promise, you only need a word, all the glory and wealth are there, and others are eager to let me give them the title of prince and king, you want a book?" Why? ”

Pei Shiju was almost a conditioned reflex, and blurted out: "The minister has seen that His Majesty has been reading this book for a long time, presumably this book is profound and worth learning, if the minister can get it, he must recite it day and night!" ”

"This is just a copy of the Analects, you don't want to tell me that you are rich and rich, but you haven't even read a copy of the Analects, right?" The emperor said leisurely, his dark eyes were in the same pool of cold water, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. Pei Shiju's back was sweating, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the desktop again, and saw that the cover of the book was slightly rolled, and the two big characters "Analects" were indeed written on it, and he stood in place in embarrassment for a while, unable to speak.

“……”

Gao Wei sighed again, slightly disappointed, picked up the book on the table again, rubbed the cover, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly asked, "Pei Qing, do you know what is worse than you and Gao Qing?" ”

Pei Shiju was stunned for a long time, but it was rare to be calm: "The minister doesn't know." ”

Gao Wei said: "It's responsible." ”

Pei Shiju continued to be in a daze, as if he had figured out something, but as if he didn't understand anything, Gao Wei picked up the "Analects" and got up from the rocking chair, walked to Pei Shiju, and said to him: "When I didn't see you before, I heard that Pei Nezhi had a son, who was a young man and a good horse in the world...... I can touch my conscience and say that I appreciate your talents very much, and I never regret using you! ”

Pei Shiju's heart was shocked, and he looked at His Majesty blankly, his eyes were inexplicably sour.

The emperor didn't care about his true feelings, and said to himself: "I know that you have a good brain and a lot of ideas, and you can always do it well if you give it to you...... But you are always a little less responsible, a little less...... The spirit of sacrificing one's life for the country.

"That's why I finally chose Gao Qing and didn't choose you.

"In the past, I reused Zuqing, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty said that Zuqing's character was inferior and unbearable, but I still reused him, why? Because although Zu Qing has such and such bad things, he is at least patriotic, and he really wants to do something for the country. Are you Pei Shiju not as capable as them? Or dumber than them? Neither...... You're just a little less responsible. ”

The emperor sighed in tone and patted him on the shoulder:

"In the past, the king of Lanling lost his words after drinking, saying that state affairs are family affairs, and the ministers in the house changed color, but I was happy in my heart, and I said to everyone: If everyone can treat state affairs as family affairs, why worry about the enemy country will not be destroyed, why should the world be unfair? I'm just as sincere...... Now I will give you these words again, since you have the ambition of the bird, don't spend your mind on the flies and dogs, take out some responsibility and courage, let me see, let the world see, you are still my thousand-mile horse, still a pillar of the Great Qi. ”

"Minister, minister...... Obey the order. ”

When the emperor said this, Pei Shiju couldn't support it for a long time, took off his hat and fell to the ground, choking several times.

It's all in plain sight.

It is said that the Tuyuhun envoy set off from Fu Qi City, and arrived in Yecheng when it was already November, Hebei had already entered winter, and the world was pale, before the last dynasty, the palace people had already set up more than a dozen braziers in the Taiji Palace, and they still could not dispel the chill in the hall.

It was the first time for Shifu to go to other countries as an envoy, and he was apprehensive, so he finally crossed the rows of guarded armor soldiers, came to the imperial steps, and held the letter in his hand high:

"Foreign Minister Murong Shifu, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom, may Your Majesty live a long life! May Daqi and Tuyuhun be diplomatic relations with each other and form an alliance forever! ”

PS: I said earlier that many people don't understand the plot to the later stage, it's not that the chapter is going to be written, it's just that the plot is segmented to the later stage, because the first part of the division is farming, the middle stage is to destroy the Zhou, and the later stage is to dominate the world, according to the year or two, Chen Ji, Yu Wenyong, and Tuo Bo will all die, and the pace of unification is about to kick off, and the later stage is the total outbreak of the plot, not that it is going to end.
