I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 296 Do you know who my father is? !
"Heaven and earth were born, and the sun and moon placed the Xiongnu Great Chanyu, I respectfully ask the Emperor of Han whether he is safe or not."

Three days later, Weiyang Palace, the main hall of Xuanshi.

After just a few years, this arrogant diplomatic rhetoric that had repeatedly resounded over the Xuanshi Palace and made the Han monarchs and ministers gnash their teeth, but they had no choice but to resound in the Xuanshi Palace and in the ears of the Han monarchs and ministers again.

Same as every time in the past: this time, the Xiongnu mission came to Chang'an, also with extremely rich diplomatic chips...

"Since the predecessor Lao Shangji Porridge Shanyu came, we, the Great Huns and the Emperor of Han, have become a country of brothers."

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, your ancestor, even stated clearly in his letter of credence in reply to my ancestor Shangji Porridge Shanyu: Han and Xiong are a country of brothers, bounded by the Great Wall;"

"—The nomads north of the Great Wall, ruled by our lord Da Shanyu;"

"——The people who practice farming in the south of the Great Wall are ruled by the Emperor of Han."

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is raising horses on the northern border. My Lord Chanyu is really worried about this."

"My lord is worried: Most of the emperor's servants may not know how to raise horses. If things go on like this, His Majesty's hard work will definitely go to waste."

Instead, it takes the Xiongnu Headquarters: the royal family of the Suojia family as the core, and the four noble tribes of the Lan family, the Huyan family (Huyan family/Calling family), the Xubu family, and the Qiulin family as the wings, bringing together all the nomadic tribes of the grassland. A loose, nomadic civilized tribal association.

"Whenever His Majesty wants it, he can send someone north to go out of the pass wall and go to Dragon City to get it..."

But what is a little surprising is that the words just now - the standard Chinese that is too hard to hear the accent, did not come from the mouth of the Han deputy envoy.

Although it was not majestic, it was also modest enough to make the Huns laugh.

"—According to the folk customs of our Han people, gifts should not be asked for by the guests, but should be given by the host himself..."

As for the ministers and relatives in the hall, they were even more afraid that Emperor Qi would not see them, and they scrambled to show their teeth and grin their mouths, as if they were "pillars of the society".

What is different from Zong Zhou's "enfeoffment of the world" is that the Xiongnu, a loose nomadic civilized tribal alliance, did not expand outwards by enfeoffment, but in accordance with the eternal truth of the grassland - the law of the jungle, through pure military conquest. itself.

"Just as your envoy said: In the country of the Han and Hungarian brothers, there are some things that really don't need to be too fussy."

After a while, he took several deep breaths before finally suppressing the anger in his chest a little bit.

···
"Han people have the custom of 'not taking the initiative to ask for gifts', and foreign ministers will definitely report this matter to my lord Shanyu."

···
"Does Your Highness think that I, the Lan family, lived alone on the grassland?"

It was from the mouth of the Xiongnu aristocrat who was dressed luxuriously, with scars and rings all over his face, but who pretended to be indifferent...

"Go west to the Northland, and turn northward for hundreds of miles. It should be the territory of Youxian King, which is near Yanchi."

"After all, according to the agreement between your ancestor Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and my ancestor Shangji Porridge Chanyu, the Han and Xiongnu became a country of brothers, and my great Xiongnu was the brother..."

"My Lord Chanyu asked the foreign ministers to report to His Majesty the Emperor: the tens of thousands of horses in Yanmen Garden were raised by my Lord Shanyu for His Majesty the Emperor."

Lowering his voice, and saying this in as thick a tone as possible, Liu Sheng raised his head slightly again, showing a look of 'Is that so? ' look.

"Who is face to face?"

He raised his head meaningfully, looked at the emperor Qi above him, and looked around the hall provocatively;
Waiting for the ear, there began to be a low sound from the clenching of the teeth, and the Hun just smiled and raised his head, and gave the emperor Qi slightly.

Hearing the sound of "who is face to face" again, the Hun nobleman only narrowed his eyes subconsciously;

It was not until this time that the Han rulers and ministers finally discovered what kind of changes the arrival of the Xiongnu mission had brought to the Han rulers and ministers in the Xuanshi Hall.

Under the coercion of the Huns, the tribes of the grassland either rose up to resist, but were conquered by force, or obeyed the principle of "a man who knows the current affairs is a hero" and surrendered voluntarily.

"In order to help His Majesty the Emperor, and to show the friendship of the country of brothers, my Lord Chanyu sent some followers to pick up the horses from Yanmen Garden in your country."

"There is just one thing that needs to be informed to His Majesty in advance."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Han family in person?"

Sure enough, as Liu Sheng expected, after hearing Liu Sheng's insinuation, the Hun noble immediately gritted his teeth, and even grinned subconsciously!

It seems that at this moment, Liu Sheng is not ridiculing the Huns for making their status low, but is really not sure whether what he said is true or not.

"—If you can be sent as an envoy, you shouldn't be the next generation's right-hand man?"

"The Lan's camp should not be far from the headquarters of King Youxian?"

Even if it is Tianziqi, it is the same...
"Since Shan Yu has such considerations about Yanmen, I won't ask too much about it."

"Shan Yu's kindness, I appreciate it."

"My brother can take what belongs to me at any time; my brother can take away what belongs to me at any time."

"Don't talk about horses, or cattle, sheep, or goods;"

Such a powerful military force and such an astonishing comprehensive strength made it possible for a "child" of the Lan family who has no inheritance rights to say such arrogant words in front of the heir apparent of the Han family.

"It's because the elder brother sent to visit the younger brother can only be a humble servant."

——On the imperial couch, the emperor Qi is sitting upright, with his face like water;

"The envoy of the Huns, Chanyu Tingyou is the son of the household: Lan reprimands Xin."

"Even women, it's the same..."

"—Lan's nephew, one of the sons of the right-hand household...?"

It's a pity: the owner of the monster house in East Asia has always been Huaxia...

"But my lord Shanyu sent foreign ministers on missions, not because the foreign ministers are of low status and death is not a pity;"

"If your country is strong enough to have 'peer relations' with me, the Great Xiongnu, then maybe my father, Youda Danghu, will be the envoy in person."

I saw the Xiongnu mission in the center of the hall, consisting of six Huns nobles in different costumes, and two chief and deputy envoys standing at the front.

However, the political structure of the Huns can be described as an extremely special case on the grasslands and even in human history.

Gritting her teeth, secretly making the decision to 'go back and file a complaint with Shan Yu', Lan scolded Xin with a sullen face and narrowed her eyes at Liu Sheng.

So much so that now, the Xiongnu with Shan Yuting as the core of the whole can already be extremely arrogant, with their nostrils upturned, and show off to anyone: I am a great Xiongnu, a country of barbarians!

Gritting his teeth tightly, he gave his "response" to Liu Sheng in a tone that was almost cursed. This Hun nobleman from the Lan family still did not forget to raise his head again to declare that he was "the envoy of the Huns" lofty status.

"Your Majesty's words, the ministers will report to my lord Shanyu verbatim."

Liu Sheng did not respond positively to the Huns envoy: Lan scolded Xin's boast.

Up to now, the Huns, who were once extremely weak and could only survive in the cracks of the grassland, have gone through the history of Touman, Maodun, Ji Porridge (old man), and the current military ministers—these four Ren Shanyu's relay rule has become the unique overlord of the grassland.

"It's just such a big deal, but Shan Yu didn't even say hello~"

On the contrary, it was Liu Sheng who accurately mentioned Lan's family, which is the camp of the headquarter of Youda Danghu, which made Lan Chixin's heart sink suddenly!
"It must be King Donghu!"

It was gloomy, cold, and faintly mixed with muffled whispers, which finally diverted the attention of everyone in the hall from the Hun mission in the center of the hall.

"In the future, foreign ministers are indeed unlikely to become right-handed officials."

"Humph!"

"—We nomads don't care too much about 'you and me' with our brothers."

——Han Prince: Victory...
"Your emissary's words~"

Anyone who has a little understanding of history knows that the historical process of China is along the development process of slavery, enfeoffment, and feudalism, and finally developed into modern civilization.

!!!

As for Western civilization, although there are some differences in some details, it still generally follows the path of slave society-royal society-constitutional monarchy, and finally reaches the other side of modern society.

The tone was calm, but the face was full of joking words, which only made Lan Xin slightly taken aback;
He raised his head, but saw Liu Sheng with his head held high, his hands behind his back, standing in front of the imperial case with a calm smile, looking down at him.

"Ah······"

Just one word, like sparks falling into a gunpowder barrel, completely ignited the entire Xuanshi Palace!
"Hey, Northern Man!"

Although the words were still mild, the stiff smile on his face reminded everyone in the hall all the time: At this time, Tianzi Qi is very unhappy!

About three or five steps to the side of the imperial couch, Liu Sheng was kneeling on the banquet table, his expression neither happy nor sad.

"——There is an old saying in my Han family, called brothers, clear accounts."

"The foreign minister came here with Shan Yu's kindness and sincerity for the purpose of 'not causing misunderstanding between brothers', but His Highness seems to be threatening the foreign minister with the location of our clan?"

"Deceive me that no one in the Han family is evil?!!!"

"Are you talking with Gu, with the prince Chujun of the Han family, whose backer is stronger and better able to protect you?"

"But according to your country's current relationship with my "brothers" with the great Xiongnu, the only people who go to your country as envoys are foreign ministers who don't care about death..."

When the atmosphere was tense, a long and deep inquiry came from the imperial steps, attracting everyone's attention again;
When the old men who were about to pounce, the "young man" who stopped the old man, and the few Huns envoys all looked together, they saw a line on the side of the imperial couch, which was slightly immature, but absolutely unrecognizable. Not a thin figure.

"Even if it is a country of brothers, if Shan Yu does this, there will always be some~"

"--Oh······"

"But I also hope that His Majesty can know about the customs of my nomads."

"Lan's pasture is in Munan, right?"

From the initial small-scale annexation and alliance, to the later large-scale conquest, the annexation in units of 'tribes', and then to Maodun Shanyu Mingdi's murder of his father and the decisive battle against Donghu, the status of the "new overlord of the grassland" of the Huns was established in one fell swoop;

In the blink of an eye, several figures jumped out of the line of courtiers, like a cheetah jumping out of a bush, and it was about to pounce on it!
Fortunately, most of the people who jumped out were gray-haired old men, and they were stopped by the "young people" around them;
It's just that the Xiongnu nobleman stood in the center of the hall, with his head held high, but everyone in the hall ignited a raging fire...

After a while, he was still sitting on the imperial couch, staring upright at the Emperor Qi of the Xiongnu nobles, and nodded lightly without looking sideways.

Behind Liu Sheng, Emperor Qi was sitting on the imperial couch, with his left hand propped on the imperial case in front of him, and his right hand brought to his mouth, gently rubbing his chin...
···
I don't know if it's an illusion: Lan scolded Xin, and seemed to see such a scene.

All nomadic people, as long as they don't kneel down and surrender, they will be bloodbathed! !

"I don't know, who is face to face?"

Then, Fang Qiang suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a low voice: "The foreign minister is indeed not the most powerful heir of the right-handed family."

At the same time, Liu Sheng's brain was running fast, pulling out all the information about the Huns royal family and nobles from his dusty memory.

It's a pity: Although there are hundreds of people from the Han family, although they all acted like "the man is very unhappy", none of them dared to yell at the Huns mission in the palace.

The emperor and the crown prince were not happy, and Liu Rong, Liu De, and even Liu Yu, Liu Fei and other clan princes all had expressions of anger and anger that could not break out.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng paced forward, stood in front of the imperial case, and looked down at the center of the hall.

Just like during the time of Zong Zhou, the emperor of Zhou was rich in the world, but he also let the vassal states do their own thing: the status of the Xiongnu Chanyu was also similar to that of the emperor of Zhou during the time of Zong Zhou.

For example, at the beginning, the Xiongnu were just a little-known small tribe in the grassland, which was the same as Loufan, Zhelan and other grassland tribes, and even a little weaker.

Judging the identity of the other party roughly from the clothing, manners, and Liu Sheng's seating position, even if the Xiongnu nobleman didn't want to, he could only take a step forward, and then arched his hands.

"After you go back, you must ask Gutu to drive this rascal to Beihai!"

——It is different from the current feudal whole with a high degree of centralization as the ultimate goal;

The Guanzhong dialect, which was so fluent that people could not hear the slightest accent, only caused hundreds of eyes in the hall to gather in the center of the hall;

Only later, when the Central Plains fell into war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was no time to look north, and the two overlords of the grassland—Donghu and Yueshi—feared the Qin Heilong Banner and fled north for three thousand miles (Donghu), while the other shrank to the west of Hexi. In the land (Yuezhi), the Huns quickly became stronger by annexing other tribes.

The gloomy and heavy voice only caused everyone in the hall to grit their teeth again, and then the atmosphere calmed down a little, and it also developed rapidly in the direction of explosiveness again;
However, Liu Sheng's next words made Lan scold Xin and remember a name that he will never forget.

——The Xiongnu today does not refer to a certain nation or a certain centralized regime;

"Do you think that my Lan family has made a mistake, and my lord, Shanyu, will turn a blind eye and let it go?"

The political framework of the Xiongnu is different from every dynasty in Chinese history, and even every regime in human history.

"Since Shan Yu wants the horse from Yanmen Garden, it should be regarded as a gift from me to Shan Yu."

"It's just that after you go back, the envoy had better bring a word to Shan Yu."

"Heh, there's always something wrong, right?"

But everyone in the palace—at least the courtiers and officials of the Han family, the meritorious marquises, and the kings of Hejian and Jiangdu who have been deliberately detained by Liu Sheng to this day clearly know that it is impossible for Liu Sheng to be in a happy mood at this time. .

——A sub-adult male lion that has not yet grown a mane, but has shown its sharpness, is proudly looking at itself with its eyes;

And behind this sub-adult hero, the old lion king, who has been baptized by the years, lay leisurely on the ground.

From the beginning to the end, the old lion king never put on an attacking posture, and he didn't even bother to give himself a look;

But Lan Chaxin is very sure: in the territory of the old lion king, under the coercion of the old lion king, the sub-adult male lion in front of him is a taboo that no one can touch...
