Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 700 Gao Feng Liang Jie Wu Taishi (4000)

As far as Wu Liang knew, Himiko was a very mysterious female ruler in ancient Japan.

"Three Kingdoms" records that Himiko is good at confusing people with ghosts and gods. He has never been married or married in his life. Only his younger brother assists the government. Since Himiko became king, no outsider has ever been able to see her face. There are only a thousand ladies and one food delivery. The men in and out of the palace.

Moreover, it is specifically mentioned in the records that the Yamatai Kingdom has always been a patriarchal regime, which means that the kings of all dynasties are men.

It's just that after decades of wars, the country's people were devastated. At this time, Himiko suddenly appeared, and was quickly embraced as queen, officially beginning her rule...

Just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

"Where did the envoy of the Son of Heaven hear this statement?"

Qi Litong had already looked away from the young girl, and then bowed to ask.

"This……"

Wu Liang was thinking about how to explain this problem.

However, Cao Chun took the conversation in a very appropriate manner, and said to him seriously: "It seems that I need to introduce this envoy of the emperor to you. You can know the affairs of the world by watching the stars at night and pinching your fingers, so you'd better explain what he said to you and what questions he asked you, otherwise you will not blame the envoys of the Son of Heaven for doubting your sincerity."

Otherwise, Cao Chun could become the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry and stay in front of Boss Cao for a long time.

This is the sharpness of vision, when to speak, when not to speak, or what to say, this guy has grasped the essence.

Wu Liang immediately gave Cao Chun a thumbs up in his heart.

"Sorry."

Qi Litong apologized quickly when he heard the words, avoiding Wu Liang's eyes with some taboo, and replied directly, "To tell you the truth, the queen of Yamatai Kingdom is not called Hu, but Yu. In addition, the word Himi is also It is not the queen's surname, in our language, Himi is actually the honorific name of the king, in our country the king is no longer a mortal, so no mortal surname is used anymore."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded, and easily accepted what Qi Litong said.

Because in the Japanese kingdom of later generations, the royal family also did not have a surname, and the same is true. It seems that this custom has been in use since this time.

In addition, there is another historical detail known to Wu Liang that can also confirm Qi Litong's statement from the side.

Because "Three Kingdoms" also recorded relevant information about the king of the dog slave country that was opposed to the Yamatai country. The king of the dog slave country was a male, so his name was recorded as "Himi Gonghu".

This name is only one letter different from "Himiko".

So much so that Wu Liang once thought that the civil strife in Japan at this time was also a civil war between princes from all walks of life, and such things often happened in the Chinese dynasties in history. There are many examples in the Han Dynasty alone, and there are always a bunch of princes surnamed Liu Because of various reasons, they fight together, but in fact, they are all relatives who fight.

In addition, Wu Liang has already started to think about another problem.

According to historical records: "About 188 A.D., civil strife began in the Wa Kingdom. Afterwards, all the vassal states elected Queen Himiko of the Yamatai Kingdom as queen, and the Wa Kingdom split into the northern forces headed by the Yamatai Kingdom, and the Gonu Kingdom. The southern forces, however, have temporarily settled down."

However, Qi Litong's statement is inconsistent with the records in the history books of the Celestial Dynasty.

Now the queen of Yamatai is called "Himiyu" instead of "Himihu". This is a question worth investigating.

Could it be that the Han Dynasty's understanding of Wa was so limited that one of the queens was omitted when writing history books?
Or for some unknown reason, deliberately ignored this queen called "Himiya"?

Or...

If "Himihu" will replace "Himiyu" as the new queen in a short period of time, a similar result may also occur, because the previous rulers launched a coup or used some bad methods in order to make their rule more legitimate After winning power, they usually use some means to downplay or discredit the previous ruler as much as possible, so as to make their rule more legitimate.

Li Shimin did such a thing, and it was also regarded as an important turning point for the official historians of the Celestial Dynasty to lose their integrity.

But the problem is.

call……

Wu Liang once again looked at the young woman hiding behind Qi Litong.

She may be the very mysterious Queen Himiko, or she may not be, it is just a coincidence of the name, and there is no conclusion yet.

But one thing is certain.

If the question Wu Liang just asked was passed on to the ears of the current queen "Himia" through the mouth of Qi Litong, and then it was matched with Cao Chun's grand introduction to Wu Liang...

Wu Liang has reason to speculate that this young woman named "Hu" and other women named "Hu" in Yamatai Kingdom are very likely to be liquidated. After all, in this era, both rulers and ordinary people are very superstitious, not to mention It is still a more backward and superstitious country than the Celestial Dynasty. Such a rumor alone is enough to kill many people.

And the weird look in Qi Litong's eyes when he looked at that girl just now.

It has already explained the problem.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately said to Qi Litong with a smile: "Doctor Qi Litong, you have passed my test. Of course I know that the queen of Yamatai Kingdom is called 'Himiyu'. I made a mistake just now, but it is It’s just misleading you, if you don’t correct me, then you will be imprisoned as a spy... I hope Doctor Qi Litong won’t mind, you already know all the way here, and now my big man is also in the midst of war, so I don’t have to Don't beware of those who have ulterior motives approaching the emperor."

"I see."

Only then did Qi Litong withdraw his strange gaze from the girl, and then with a relieved smile on his face, he bowed and said to Wu Liang, "The act of the envoy of the Son of Heaven is also a matter of loyalty to the emperor, how dare I mind."

"Well, now that your identity has been confirmed, you are ready to follow me to meet the emperor later."

Wu Liang nodded and said.

He believed that Qi Litong came to pay tribute from thousands of miles away, and it was definitely more than just paying tribute, and he must have requested something from the big man on the Queen's order.

And this request naturally has to be explained to the emperor in person to be in line with etiquette.

Wu Liang didn't bother to ask, anyway, it was nothing more than asking the big man for generosity to help the poor or political assistance. Historically, they also made these requests.

As far as the current Emperor Xian Liu Xie is concerned, he himself has to look at Boss Cao's face, and he can't be satisfied with anything.

As for whether Boss Cao is willing to agree to these requests.

That's hard to say. After all, although Boss Cao is already quite powerful, he still faces many challenges beyond his current capabilities. He probably doesn't have the energy and financial resources to be far away overseas. A small country that implements long-range and short-range attacks.

"only."

Qi Litong bowed and bowed.

The young girl named "Hu" behind her also bowed down.

"By the way, uncle."

Wu Liang looked back at Cao Chun again.

"..."

Cao Chun was stunned for a few seconds before finally realizing it, pointing at himself and asking, "Are you calling me?"

Don't look at this guy who is always using seniority to moles Wu Liang recently, but he still regards Wu Liang as a peer in his heart, so Wu Liang suddenly called him that, but he was a little uncomfortable.

"Who else could it be?"

Wu Liang rolled his eyes.

"Alas! alas! alas! my dear nephew!"

Cao Chun immediately beamed with joy, and immediately frantically took advantage of Wu Liang, and he promised several times before asking, "What's the matter?"

With Wu Liang's face, naturally he didn't care about this loss at all, and then said seriously: "It's not appropriate for them to meet the emperor in this image, you order someone to get them some hot water for a good bath, and then send them Putting on the two clothes, we still have the tolerance of a big country, even in the chaos of war, we are much stronger than other countries."

"I'll teach people how to do it."

Cao Chun readily agreed.

"Then I will leave this place to my uncle, and I will go to the next door and report this matter to the emperor."

Wu Liang nodded, then walked out to the next door.

……

At this time, the security of the temporary palace was significantly stricter than usual.

After this incident, it is impossible for Boss Cao not to be wary of Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian had to restrain himself a little. If Boss Cao sent him back to Luoyang in a "chilling heart", his good days would definitely come to an end.

But this has no effect on Wu Liang.

Because Cao Ang is the commander of the Yulin guards now, Cao Ang will naturally not interfere with Wu Liang's entry and exit, not to mention that he already knew what Wu Liang was here for.

So all the way to Xiandi's bedroom smoothly.

Although the door was open, Wu Liang still told the eunuch at the door to enter, and got the permission of Emperor Xian before walking in.

At this matter, Emperor Xian Liu Xie had already sat on the couch, but from the slightly messy bedding and bun on the couch, it could be seen that he should be resting just now.

"Your Majesty, several envoys from the Yamatai Kingdom have come to visit recently, and I have verified their identities."

Wu Liang saluted and said.

"Yamatai Kingdom?"

Liu Xie looked suspicious, obviously never heard the name of this country.

"It's just a small country in the East China Sea. Your Majesty doesn't need to care too much."

Wu Liang said.

"It's rare. Now that the big man has become like this, there are still small countries sending envoys to see him."

Liu Xie sighed, and said embarrassingly, "Since that's the case, I'll make some preparations and ask Wu Taishi to bring them in."

"promise."

Wu Liang responded and prepared to leave.

"Wu Taishi..."

But Liu Xie stopped her suddenly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, he hesitated for a while and then said, "According to the classical Hanyi, if foreign envoys come to see me, I should host a banquet to show my benevolence, A gift is needed in return, but now..."

Liu Xie only finished half of what he said, his slightly fair face was already flushed, and he couldn't continue speaking.

He's really embarrassed right now.

The food used all belonged to Boss Cao, and the soldiers and horses also belonged to Boss Cao. Recently, he had such an unhappiness with Boss Cao, which caused Boss Cao to lose such an "arm" as Xi Zhicai.

But now, according to Han Yi's classics, hosting a banquet to entertain foreign envoys, and giving gifts, naturally also needs the support of Boss Cao.

It was really hard for Liu Xie to speak. For the sake of being able to speak, it was already tantamount to rubbing the dignity of the emperor on the ground.

"Your Majesty does not need to worry about this matter. I will explain to the general that everything will be properly arranged."

Wu Liang smiled, cupped his hands and said, "In fact, this is not the time when His Majesty was alone, but a matter of my great country of the Chinese nation. How can I teach outsiders to read the joke?"

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Xie looked at Wu Liang in surprise, and after a while, he finally showed gratitude, nodded and said, "Wu Taishi is so virtuous, I feel ashamed."

"Your Majesty praises me, if there is nothing else, I will leave."

Wu Liang saluted.

"Wu Taishi, please stay."

But Liu Xie stopped Wu Liang suddenly, and then lowered his voice and said, "Wu Taishi, I heard that Lu Bu was captured by you yourself, and you were also interrogated by yourself at that time?"

"Your Majesty, this subject is just a matter of loyalty. I just want to live this life in peace, so I really have nothing to say about what your Majesty asked."

Wu Liang was very vigilant, and he didn't want to have too much communication with Liu Xie, so he prevaricated and wanted to leave.

"Wu Taishi can find a Gang Mao from Lu Bu?"

Liu Xie didn't care, and then asked again.

Wu Liang finally stopped, turned around and asked, "What exactly does Your Majesty want to say?"

"Wu Taishi knows that Fang Gangmao is Wang Mang's relic?"

Liu Xie went on to say, "Like Wang Mangtou, that Gangmao is also not a vulgar thing... I didn't mean to win over Wu Taishi, nor did I mean to separate Wu Taishi from General Cao, but I just saw that Wu Taishi is a rare stranger in the world. , [-]% are very interested in these rare treasures, and seeing Wu Taishi's high integrity and clear reason, so he is willing to tell some royal secrets in return. Maybe it can still play some role, but it’s not considered buried.”

"..."

Wu Liang was moved.

It was impossible for him not to be moved.

In fact, after this incident, although it can be regarded as a satisfactory solution, there are still many secrets that have not been solved, and Wu Liang's curiosity has not been satisfied.

Only limited by their own identity and position.

Wu Liang knew that it was impossible for him to ask Liu Xie in person, and even if he asked Liu Xie, he might not be willing to answer.

What's more, since Boss Cao had no choice but to take him with him when dealing with this matter before, he naturally had to be more sensible. Being too proactive would cause him some trouble.

As for Lu Bu, Boss Cao even hid him directly.

Now Wu Liang is not sure whether Lu Bu is dead, is still locked in the Cao Mansion, or has been transferred to another place. If Boss Cao doesn't say anything, he naturally can't ask more questions.
