Father and son talked about some other things.

Xu is because he opened the conversation box and opened his heart.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said a lot of things that he had never said to Liu Che before, so that Liu Che knew the hidden secrets behind many things.

For example, the root of the Hun envoy's Korean drama.

That Korean drama can be said to be the descendant of the Xiongnu envoy family, who has been responsible for communicating and communicating with the Han family for generations.

Seven years ago, the signing of the final alliance between the Han and the Huns was concluded and determined by the father of this Korean drama, Han Liao and the Xiongnu, who took office as the great household and lived in the Diaoqu in Chang'an.

Liu Che didn't guess wrong, this Korean drama is indeed related to the runaway general Yanwang Han Xin decades ago.

To be precise, the father of the Korean drama is Han Xin's cousin.

More than ten years ago, the descendants of Han Xin, who remained in the Xiongnu, were involved in the internal political turmoil of the Xiongnu.

As a result, the descendants of the Han family, such as Han Xin's eldest grandson Han Ying, and the youngest son Han Rongdang, fled back to the Han Dynasty under the protection of Han Xin's confidants.

And the rest of the people are still in the Xiongnu, including Han Liao, the father of the Korean drama, and his brothers.

Even Han Liao later married the daughter of the Xiongnu dignitary and the close relationship with Shan Yu as his wife.

Listening to his father's story, Liu Che's eyes rolled and said: "Enlighten my father, my son wants to go and see the Korean drama in private, please allow my father!" ”

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

So he asked, "What does the prince want?" ”

Liu Che kowtowed and said: "Back to my father, do you still remember that Cheng Zhengying?" ”

"Hmm...... What is the relationship between Cheng Zhengying and Korean dramas? Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was confused. The two should be incompatible, right?

Liu Che smiled slightly, raised his head and said, "Father, please let Erchen report it, Erchen has heard that Cheng Zhengying mentioned it." I once saw a foreign merchant, according to the businessman's words, west of Yanmen, thousands of miles away, there are many small countries living in the middle, among these small countries, there are quite a lot of crops that I have never found in China! ”

"Hmm......" Liu Qi, the son of heaven, became slightly interested.

In fact. The introduction of alien species has never been stopped in the past thousands of years.

Such as. At present, mung beans on the market are actually crops originating in India. Moreover, the time for the introduction of China was very short, and it was transmitted to China around the time when Lü Buwei entered the Qin Dynasty.

For a country that is predominantly agrarian. There's nothing more rewarding than bringing in some good crops.

Later in the Ming Dynasty, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn were introduced.

It is only 'my Daqing' who thinks that China is vast and rich. There is no need for anything from the outside world at all.

But is it actually the ruler of the 'I Great Qing' who is stupid?

Hehe, anyone who has seen the confessions and allusions of the emperor of the 'I Great Qing' will not think so.

On the contrary, they are particularly smart.

It is precisely because of intelligence that they instinctively resist foreign things and cultures.

Because they know very well that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, and once the opening is opened, the people who have been fooled by them will know the history. Open your eyes, and their reign will come to an end.

And at this time. The whole of China is hungry for something that will make you strong or that will help you be strong.

As for where this thing came from, it doesn't matter at all!

Liu Che smiled and threw out a sentence that his father couldn't refuse at all: "Erchen heard that among the countries of the Western Regions, there is a kind of grass that is specially fed for war horses, and it is said that that kind of grass is the key to raising horses in the countries of the Western Regions and even the Xiongnu!" ”

Alfalfa grass is undoubtedly one of the key species that China acquired from the Western Regions, and it was this humble pasture that changed the disadvantage of Chinese war horses inferior to the Xiongnu after being introduced to China.

As for cotton or something, although it is important, it is not as simple and clear as alfalfa grass, and once it is thrown, it can easily convince the father.

When Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, heard this, his pupils shrank, and he asked, "Does the prince want to?" Then he shook his head: "Even if there is really that kind of pasture, the Huns will regard it as a military secret, and An Keqing will grant it to my Han family?" ”

Of course, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, knew what Liu Che wanted to do?

It's just that......

In the eyes of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, Liu Che's idea is indeed ridiculous.

If that kind of pasture really exists, the Huns will definitely guard it strictly, and it is impossible for a single grass seed to flow into the Han land.

Just like the Han family, it is impossible for a silkworm egg and a tea seed to flow out of their own borders.

Liu Che smiled slightly and said, "If you don't try, how do you know that it won't work?" ”

For getting alfalfa grass seeds, Liu Che is full of confidence.

First of all, the Xiongnu and the Han are fundamentally two regime models.

The Huns lived in pursuit of water and grass, followed the rainy season to migrate and graze, and in addition to grazing, they basically did not know how to farm, let alone plant any grass.

In fact, alfalfa grass has been widely cultivated in the countries of the Western Regions.

But until Zhang Qian reached the Western Regions, the Huns were not even interested in taking a closer look at this fine forage seed that Alexander's Eastern Expeditionary Army brought to Central Asia.

For the Huns, farming, sowing or something, that is a matter of agricultural civilization, has nothing to do with them.

Alfalfa is like this, and cotton is an easy and simple thing.

In fact, after the introduction of cotton by later generations, the piglets did not regard cotton as a cash crop, but as an exotic ornamental plant......

In the Western Regions, no one has found that the fruit of this plant can be used for weaving, and it is basically regarded as an ornamental plant.

After all, the technique of playing cotton is too high!

As for whether the Huns will agree to help, whether that Korean drama is willing to accept Liu Che's commission.

Liu Che was not even worried.

Well, in fact, Liu Che has always felt that it is indeed a pity that the Huns were rampant and domineering in the Western Regions and robbed so many things, but there was no place to sell the stolen goods and exchange the stolen goods for real gold, silk and salt.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at Liu Che's confident appearance and thought, "Just let the prince try, even if it fails." It doesn't seem like there's much to lose, but if it succeeds, then ......"

So he waved his hand and said, "Since the prince wants to do it." Then do it! ”

"No!" Liu Che kowtowed and said, "The minister will go and talk to the Hun envoy first."

………………………………

When Liu Che, led by several eunuchs, came to a side hall where Korean dramas rested.

The Korean drama is closing its eyes and recuperating, thinking in its heart, how to make the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers spit out more gold and silk and other return gifts.

Especially silk!

For the Xiongnu, the only desirable place in the Han Dynasty was silk!

The entire Xiongnu is single in the court, up to the single Yu. Down to the aristocracy, there is no one who does not like the silk products of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the silk of the Han Dynasty. The Huns were able to make huge profits as soon as they sold it slightly.

Therefore, the biggest goal of the Korean drama trip is to get as much silk as possible, and go back to please Shan Yu and Shan Yu's Yan clans.

As for. It was only last year that I rebooked and pro. This year, I came to urge the wealth again, will it be too undisciplined?

The Huns never considered such things as discipline and morality.

Just thinking about how to coerce and lure in the future, the Korean drama heard footsteps outside the door, and a eunuch said at the door: "The prince of the Han Dynasty has arrived, and the messenger greets!" ”

The Korean drama hurriedly stood up and bowed down to stand in the hall, ready to greet the prince of the Han family.

For the Huns. Now it's different.

The current Xiongnu is tens of thousands of miles of grassland. The co-ruler of dozens of countries in the Western Regions.

is no longer the nomadic people who were beaten, abused, and precarious by the Qin army during the Qin Dynasty.

Confucius said that etiquette is enough to know etiquette.

This point, whether it is an agrarian civilization or a nomadic civilization, is universal.

Now that the Xiongnu have become a great empire, there are countless servants and vassal states under them.

Then, with it, is the establishment and maintenance of order.

No matter how stupid a ruler is, it is impossible not to establish order.

As a result, the Xiongnu established and improved a complete set of ruling hierarchy and social order during the reign of Lao Shangdan.

The left and right virtuous kings, the left and right valley kings, and the left and right big households are the proof of this order.

And Han and Hungary are still fraternal states that the monarchs of the two countries recognize and recognize each other, at least for now.

Therefore, in fact, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty enjoyed the treatment of King Zuo Xian in front of the Xiongnu nobles, at least on the surface.

Similarly, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu could enjoy the treatment of the crown prince in the Han Dynasty.

This point has been confirmed and recognized in the letters of the late kings of Han and Hungary, and it is a consensus on paper.

For example, Liu Che's imperial grandfather, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, wrote a letter to the Xiongnu Lao Shangshan Yu in the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, saying, 'Today under Da'an, all the people are bustling, and I and Shan Yu are the parents'.

This point, Lao Shangshan Yu also recognized and agreed with the reply.

Therefore, Korean dramas will at least look like a courtier on the surface.

Liu Che walked into the main hall and saw the Korean drama standing quietly to greet him, with a bright smile on his face, he stepped forward and said kindly: "The messenger is so polite......

"Your country's proverb: Etiquette cannot be abolished, and my lord often thinks it is good, but the old minister does not dare to be ...... like this" The Korean drama replied with a smile.

"Hehe......" Liu Che smiled and took the hand of the Korean drama, and the two walked to the couch together and sat down, but they scolded in their hearts: "Don't you dare not do this...... Hehe, it looks like you don't want to salute me at all...... It doesn't matter......"

Liu Che knows very well that the so-called diplomacy is actually that even if he is scolding the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, he still has to be harmonious on the surface.

And the Xiongnu as the biggest threat and enemy of the Han family, Liu Che still respects it very much.

Only by respecting one's own enemy can you defeat him and defeat him!

"The prince came to find the minister, but is there something?" After the Korean drama sat down, he asked.

"Your envoy is really refreshing!" Liu Che smiled, poured a glass of wine for the Korean drama, and said, "Alone is the first to do it!" ”

Then, Liu Che said: "Lone came here this time to discuss with your envoy a plan that is beneficial to the Han and Hungarian capitals......

When the Korean drama heard this, he took a sip of wine and asked, "Prince, please say ......" But the look on his face clearly had a taste of rejection thousands of miles away.

But Liu Che didn't care, as if he hadn't seen it, and said to the Korean drama: "Your envoy is faithful, and Lone admires it very much, tell your envoy like this, Lone heard that your country rules tens of thousands of miles of grasslands and boundless countries." I wonder if it's true? ”

While saying, Liu Che also deliberately showed a look of 'I don't believe it very much'.

When I saw the Korean drama, I didn't care much about it.

But. He is not alone in this mission, and he is not a direct envoy.

No matter how loyal a Han Chinese was, it was impossible for him to serve as Shan Yu's envoy to another country that was almost equal to the Xiongnu.

The real envoy was a Xiongnu nobleman, but that person didn't know Chinese. These exchanges and contacts are the responsibility of Korean dramas, but in the end, it is up to the envoy to measure and decide.

Yes. Korean dramas simply didn't dare not answer Liu Che's question.

Because, although the envoy didn't understand Chinese, the other people who accompanied him did.

In the territory of the Xiongnu. Between the surrender and the fleeing Hanchen. It's not a mess of harmony. I don't know how many people are staring at his position and status!

Therefore, the Korean drama considered the wording, puffed up his chest, and replied: "Returning to the prince, my lord was born of heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon, and tens of thousands of miles of grassland south of the Great Wall. The infinite kingdom is indeed under my rule! ”

Liu Che sighed quietly. Continue to ask: "Such a vast land and huge area, presumably rich in products, there must be things that my Han family has not had, please try one or two of them, for the lonely words!" ”

The Korean drama suddenly choked.

Liu Che's meaning was already obvious to him.

Under the guise of curiosity and curiosity, the prince of the Han family came to talk to him about the inside story of the Huns.

Do you want to say it?

The Korean drama thought about it slightly, but couldn't make a decision.

The reason is very simple, let's say, for him, it is simply unacceptable, this is a naked betrayal!

For him, a new appendage, betraying his master is worse than killing him!

But if you don't talk about it......

The Korean drama secretly glanced at those colleagues around him.

The Huns were very proud and arrogant.

Korean dramas know very well that if he can't give an answer to Liu Che's question that satisfies Liu Che and the Huns, then countless small reports will be piled up on Shan Yu's desk after returning to China.

You don't even have to return to China, the anger of that Hun nobleman can kill him!

Liu Che watched the Korean drama for a long time and asked, "Is there anything unspeakable about your envoy?" ”

The opening questions were carefully designed and deduced by Liu Che.

To put it simply, these problems are all dug holes and waiting for Korean dramas to jump down.

In fact, when Liu Che was in Hedong, he had already had in-depth exchanges with the Xiongnu's subordinates and asked many questions about the Xiongnu.

In the mouth of the nobleman of a former Xiongnu tribe who had settled in Hedong, Liu Che almost knew some of the current Xiongnu social atmosphere and political habits.

At this moment, the Huns thought they were invincible.

It is complacent.

And with the prosperity of the country, the Huns, at least the nobles of the Huns, began to talk about forced qualifications.

Think about how those technologies and unpassed secrets were stolen by the neon people in the early days of the Celestial Empire's reform?

It's just that some bureaucrats want to save face and are eager to publicize our great heaven and earth.

And showing off is human nature, even Xiang Yu said, 'Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night!' ’

Liu Che didn't think that the Huns could resist this human disease!

Therefore, Liu Che's pit is to lure out the Hun envoy who is hiding behind the Korean drama.

Well, the facts of ancient and modern China and foreign countries have proved that compared to traitors or something, real devils are better fools.

The Korean drama opened its mouth, but it couldn't speak.

At this moment, he felt that he was being forced to the edge of the cliff by Liu Che.

To say, or not to say?

It was a difficult decision for him.

He thought about simply lying or making up two things that he didn't have to deal with Liu Che, but when he saw Liu Che's blazing eyes and the fiery eyes of his colleagues around him, he didn't dare.

It is true that he can lie or make up a lie to fool Liu Che.

However, if this kind of thing reaches the righteous envoy or even the ears alone, then he is a capital crime!

The Huns at this moment are like an upstart.

Looking at the tens of millions of family properties, I am anxious to find someone to show off.

It's a pity that for a long time, the only object to show off has not been very interested in the Xiongnu, let alone the Xiongnu's servants and vassals in the Western Regions.

Korean dramas know very well that if the prince of the Han Dynasty takes the initiative to ask him about the strength and abundance of the Xiongnu Empire. He didn't honestly help Shan Yu show off and declare the greatness and richness of the Xiongnu Empire, that time Shan Yuting, Shan Yu could eat him alive!

It's not just the Han people who have a good face. The Huns also want to save face!

But let's be honest......

Korean dramas are a little blind.

He was a Han Chinese, or a Han man who tried his best to curry favor with the Xiongnu aristocracy.

In the past 30 years in Shan Yuting, he followed his father and learned one thing, how to serve the Hun nobles well, and how to make sycophants.

As for the countries of the Western Regions. He has been to everything, and he has never cared about which small countries have what.

In other words, he's a mouthpiece. And not a doer.

As for the doers and Han ministers in the Xiongnu country, in this year's turmoil, they either followed King Youxian to see Lao Shangdan Yu, or they followed the Bank of China to say that they were demoted to Beihai to take an ice and snow bath.

There are very few left.

Korean dramas, it feels extremely tricky.

Liu Che smiled and further forced: "Could it be said." Tens of thousands of miles of grasslands. In the boundless country, there is nothing that can beat my Han family? ”

As soon as Liu Che said this, not only the Korean drama looked at him viciously, but even other people around him also looked at him viciously.

For these people, the Xiongnu are their masters.

The insult of the master is the most unacceptable thing for them!

So one by one, their eyes widened with anger. Staring at Liu Che.

Liu Che looked at them with a smile and didn't speak. But the look on his face was like, 'Ah, you can't brag about it, can you?' ’

Finally, someone couldn't stand his master being so despised, and under extreme inferiority, he stood up and urged the Korean drama in Xiongnu dialect: "Deputy Envoy Han!" If you can't, then I'll go and sue Brother Sù Subu and ask my brother to come! ”

Liu Che listened to the gurgling birds, and poured himself a glass of wine with a smile.

He knew that the fish had bitten the hook and that the rest was waiting for the harvest.

Korean drama's face changed greatly when he heard this, he knew very well what his colleagues were.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he makes a mistake at this moment, these people will definitely be more than happy to take over his position as deputy envoy.

When it was stricter, this time the envoy's surname was Xu Bu, who was a member of one of the three major families outside the Xiongnu royal family, and compared with the Heju family he was attached to, he was more noble and prominent, and the trouble was that the Heju family was the horse boy of the Huyan clan, and the Huyan clan and the Subu clan were political enemies!

If that person had known, there was no doubt that he would not have given up such a good opportunity to strike at a political opponent!

When the Korean drama was embarrassing, the eunuch at the door shouted: "The Xiongnu are making an envoy to meet the prince!" ”

Suddenly, the face of the Korean drama turned snow-white.

He knew very well that he had been sold.

There is no doubt that those colleagues who followed couldn't wait to pull him off the horse!

Liu Che stood up with a smile and looked at the group of people who walked in from the door.

In Liu Che's sight, there were about six or seven people who came in.

These people are obviously not Han Chinese, they are extremely short, probably on the same level as the neon people, and they are basically under 1.6 meters tall.

However, their limbs were thick, their bodies were strong, the braids on their heads were extremely fine, their nostrils were much larger than those of the Chinese, their ears were large and thick, their earlobes were full of earrings made of gold, and they walked with a tinkling sound, there was no doubt that they were real Huns, and they were Hun nobles of pure blood!

The first Xiongnu nobleman wearing silk clothes who seemed to be imitating the manners of the Han people took a step forward, and bowed slightly to Liu Che with the rather difficult Han etiquette, and said words that Liu Che didn't understand at all.

But fortunately, there is a translator!

An attendant who followed Liu Che on the side immediately whispered to Liu Che: "At home, the Xiongnu envoy said: Heaven and earth are born, and the sun and the moon place the Xiongnu Dashan in the most loyal and loyal courtiers, and it is difficult to say hello to the Han Dynasty, and bless you, please bless you with a plow!" ”

When Liu Che came, this attendant had already made up some common sense of the Huns to him.

For example, when the Huns called their prince, they did not directly call him King Zuoxian, but King Zuo Tu, and the word Tu Hao means virtuous in the Xiongnu language.

As for the plow, it is the reference of God.

It is that the Xiongnu do not call their own Shan Yu for Shan Yu, but called the plough Gu Tu, which means the son of heaven, Shan Yu This name is just a statement to the outside world, the real Huns, especially the Xiongnu nobles, will never call their Shan Yu as Shan Yu.

It's like the courtiers of the Han Dynasty never called their emperor emperor, but called the Son of Heaven.

When Liu Che heard this, he said to the attendant: "Please tell the messenger, just say Gu An, thank him for his greetings and blessings, Gu will also bless him, please Tai Yi God bless him!" ”

Diplomacy is the behavior of a group of well-dressed beasts who greet each other's ancestors with their famous words.

Although Liu Che has never engaged in diplomacy.

But before he crossed, he was influenced by the cav every day, and he watched too much of the speeches of the Celestial Empire's takeaway department, so he naturally knew how to respond.

The attendant translated Liu Che's words.

The Hun envoy raised his head and smiled at Liu Che, and said a lot of words.

After he finished speaking, the attendant began to translate: "At home, the Xiongnu envoy said that I heard that Tu Hao of the Han Dynasty wanted to understand the richness and vastness of the country ruled by the Great Xiongnu Plough Gutu, and as the most loyal courtier of the Great Hun Plough Gutu, he was willing to answer a question or two to the family!" ”

When Liu Che heard this, he immediately showed a 'excited' look and said, "I want to do it!" ”

I don't need to translate that.

Because for the Huns, this is like the otaku of the Celestial Empire in later generations, no matter how they don't understand bird language, three grams of oil should always understand what it means! (To be continued......)
