"You guys, who wants to go to the Huns?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Shusun Tong and Liu Jing shouted almost at the same time, "The minister is willing to go." ”

The solemn and bleak atmosphere in the hall due to forbearance and humiliation was disturbed by the two of them like this, and it eased a little, and Liu Ji couldn't help laughing,

"Uncle Sun Tong, when you are older, don't go to the north to toss.

Liu Jing is still young, his body looks stronger than yours, and he is also good at clever arguments, and he is sharp-toothed, or let Liu Jing go through this. ”

"Liu Jing doesn't know how to ride a horse, is he going to ride all the way to the grassland?" Zhang Cang said half-jokingly.

Liu Jing said urgently,

"What's so difficult about riding a horse, the minister hereby makes a military order, and within ten days, he guarantees to learn."

Seeing that Liu Jing's face was colorful, Guan Ying puffed out his eyes and said, "The minister also wants to go, Your Majesty will send the minister to go with him." ”

"Liu Jing is here to make peace, not to kill people, take you with me, but something will happen."

Liu Ji waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him, and then turned to Liu Jing and continued,

"You are Langzhong right now, and you are an envoy with this official title, which is said to be enough, but I am afraid that the Huns will not know the goods.

In this way, I will give you another number, and you will be called Fengchunjun. ”

Lu Pheasant also smiled and said,

"The Huns probably don't know what the title is, Langzhong, these are all red tape in the Central Plains.

You might as well ask Liu Jing to bring a decent knot, and bring more palace supplies. ”

"That's right." Liu Ji thought for a moment and said to Xiao He,

"You go and tell Shaofu to give the envoy of the Xiongnu to design a special section.

This festival is longer than the section held by the Guanglu doctors who guard the palace, so as to show the majesty of my Han family.

Let Yang Chengyan personally take charge of this matter, and he must be more magnificent. ”

Yang Chengyan is also an old man under Liu Ji, as early as the beginning of the army, he joined the Han army camp as a military craftsman, and later entered the Shaofu, in charge of all the needs of the palace such as food, clothing, daily life and safari play.

Xiao He hurriedly said,

"It's just that Yang Chengyan is going to Guanzhong tomorrow, and he was going to survey the terrain of Chang'an City, should he let him leave a few days later?"

"Well, let him go a few days later, you have to work hard, first hurry up to do a good job, and then prepare together to send the gifts to the Huns."

"For the special festival of the messenger, you might as well make a few more, I think there will be many occasions that can be used in the future."

Lu Pheasant reminded on the side that so many countries in the Western Regions, as well as the countries of South Vietnam, must often send envoys to and from time to time in the future, where is one section enough.

Liu Ji nodded, glanced at Chen Ping, he understood, and hurriedly picked up the shorthand.

"As for the materials to be brought, food, wine, silk and other things, Xiao He discussed with Shi Cheng in Zhisu, how much to send, and reported the number."

At this time, Zhang Ao, who had been wandering outside the world, suddenly interjected like waking up from a big dream,

"Your Majesty, in the feudal country of the minister, the harvest of summer wheat this year is good, if you want to send some grain to the Huns, it is better to let the minister come out."

Liu Ji looked at him with a smile, waved his hand and said,

"Wheat is not as delicious as corn, the first time to the Huns to meet the gift, or send millet.

Your heart is good, you just have a little rest, and in a few days, I have something else to explain to you. ”

"And," the Emperor remembered again,

"The gift to the Hun royal court will be in charge of the queen, try to pick some good things and send them, don't let that rash Dunshan underestimate us.

That's it, try to get ready within half a month, set off as soon as possible, and be sure to be in time-"

The emperor's words came to an abrupt end, but Lu Pheasant knew that he must pacify the Xiongnu before Yan Wang Zang Di began to make big moves.

***

Within two days, Yang Chengyan personally designed the Han Festival, and a sample was made.

Liu Ji was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters, and ordered someone to present the finished samples to the North Palace and ask the queen to take a look.

When Lu Pheasant saw it, he couldn't help but admire, the festival is a symbol of the monarch's power, and the person who holds the festival is the messenger sent by the emperor, representing great power.

And Yang Chengyan's attainments are really different and outstanding, worthy of the prestige of the emperor of the Han family:

I saw that this knot was seven feet long, and it was about as tall as herself, and the main body of the knot was a straight and hard bamboo pole, which was shiny and smooth throughout.

At the top of the bamboo pole, three layers of red 旄 (mào) knots are tied heavily, all of which are made of long yak tails and flutter in the wind.

She reached out to touch the silky wisps of oxtail hair, and thought:

The history books say that a hundred years later, Zhonglang will Su Wu, trapped by the Huns in Beihai for 19 years, lying up and manipulating, and the Han Festival of the Han Festival is all gone, if even these dense cow hairs are fallen off, Su Wu himself, I don't know how much suffering he has suffered.

Lu Pheasant was feeling sorry in his heart, and suddenly Changqiu Zhan Shi came to report, asking what was going on, Zhan Shi was vague, and only asked the queen to move to the courtyard outside the palace, and she would know at a glance.

Lu Pheasant was puzzled, and as he walked quickly outside the hall, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

***

I saw that in the originally spacious courtyard, under the plane tree, there were all kinds of rare treasures and luxurious furniture, which were illuminated by the sun, shining brightly, dazzling, and I couldn't see it for a while.

The golden light was so dazzling that Lu Pheasant couldn't help but squint his eyes, approached and took a closer look.

As large as the dragon bracket, the screen inlaid with gilt copper rosefinches, as small as the bronze mirror with three rings of button carving moire, and countless palace lamps - single cigarette pipe, double cigarette pipe, cow-shaped, phoenix-shaped, gilded, wrong silver, dazzling, countless.

Not to mention the plate of pearls and jade ornaments, there are gold hairpins, jade hairpins, gold and jade stacks, earrings inlaid with various colors of gems and beads, earrings, as well as rings, hooks, and step shakes, which are dizzying.

There are also incense burners and feather fans with handles, all of which have traces of use, presumably still on someone's desk and shaking in their hands a moment ago;

And the stacks of splendid robes and gauze robes that are piled up like mountains look brand new, and I don't know who has quietly prepared them, ready to dress them up again on the festival days.

Lu Pheasant looked at it, and his heart was already clear, and asked,

"Are these all sent by the ladies?"

Zhan Shi bowed down and replied,

"Exactly. These days, you have been busy in your palace to choose gifts to be sent to the north, and somehow everyone knows about it.

The ladies all said that most of the objects here were handed down from the Qin Palace, and they were originally things outside the body.

Right now, if you can use this to contribute to my Han Dynasty, it will be the creation of these mundane things. ”

Rao has lived for more than a hundred years, Lu Pheasant is still touched, her eyes are slightly hot, she caught a glimpse of the Jinshan embroidered sea, there are still a few carved beds covered with fine peach and bamboo mats, and she wants to laugh a little,

"Who sent the bed? The beds are all gone, how will they sleep tonight? ”

"These were sent by those wives who are pregnant right now."

When Lu Pheasant heard this, there was a trace of bitterness and sympathy in his heart, and he was more arrogant.

Although Liu Ji only has one daughter Lu Yuan at the moment, if any concubine in the future gives birth to a princess, from the day the child falls to the ground, a mother will worry about the matter of marriage day and night.

Among these harem women, there are favored and unfavored, and they don't have much money on weekdays, but in public and private, they have taken out their best self.

"You choose one from each lady from what you send, and you return the rest one by one.

You tell them to live a good life, wait for childbirth with peace of mind, and as long as I am there for a day, I will not be married.

And the things that I gave out today, one day, I will get them all back intact. ”
