Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 501 Ji Zhou entered Qin as a hostage and was sent as an envoy to the Maurya Dynasty!

"Okay! As expected of my child!"

Modun patted Jizhu on the shoulder, with a hint of approval on his face.

"But there is one more thing you need to do before going to Qin." Modun smiled.

"Father, please speak!" Ji Zhou paused.

"Become the crown prince of the Xiongnu!" Mao Dun said in a deep voice.

"Crown Prince?" Ji Zhou was obviously stunned, with a look of surprise, joy, and suspicion on his face.

It's not that he doesn't trust Moton, but in fact the relationship between father and son is not particularly good, and Moton has never been a person who will be bound by family ties.

He can hand over his favorite woman to others, and he can also shoot his father with his own hands. He is a born hero, but such a person is destined not to be swayed by emotions.

Being willing to go to Qin as a hostage may be credit, and it may make his cold-blooded father a little moved, but this is definitely not a reason to establish a heir apparent.

"Yes, become the prince of the Xiongnu and the future king of the Xiongnu!

You have many brothers, but after hearing such news, they were all furious. They were shouting under the big tent. They regarded Qin's request as a shame. They all asked for war. They did not hesitate to start a war with Qin and wanted to kill him tomorrow. To Qin.

Only you, my child, only you take the initiative to ask to go to Qin as a pledge and are willing to sign an alliance with Qin.

My child, before leaving, I hope you can see clearly that behind their clamor for war is actually the fear of Qin. I feel their uneasiness and panic. They are like fat sheep forced to a dead end. Finally, he bowed his head helplessly and raised his horns.

And you, my child, you are the real hero!

You are different from them. Only you are suitable to be the king of the Huns! "Modun had a look of sadness and emotion on his face.

"My father, what about other than that?" Ji Zhou was not frightened by Mao Dun's words, but asked in return.

He is Moton's child, and because of this he has a better understanding of what kind of person Moton is.

He will never send a prince to Qin. These reasons are not enough.

Just because you appreciate yourself? Ji Zhou naturally didn't believe it.

"Look, you are as outstanding as I said. I can't see anyone more suitable to inherit my position except you. You are so smart!" Mao Dun was not embarrassed when he heard this, but showed a smile.

"Qin is not a fool. The hostage it asks the Xiongnu to send must be the prince of the Xiongnu, otherwise the treaty cannot be signed!"

"Now, do you understand, my child, you should know what you are carrying!"

When Ji Zhou heard this, a hint of understanding appeared on his face.

Then he nodded with an inexplicable expression: "I understand!"

This news was not leaked. The reason why it was not leaked was mainly for testing.

After all, Maodun is not just a child like Jizhu.

But now it seems that only Ji Zhou is the most satisfied with Mo Dun. He has always been the smartest child.

With a bit of appreciation in his eyes, Modun comforted Ji Zhou for a moment, then watched Ji Zhou leave with a deep thought.

As for Ji Zhi, who had tears in his eyes, after turning his back, the emotion on his face had disappeared.

It turns out that everything is the request of Qin State...

Therefore, he who is willing to go to Qin will become the crown prince.

This is my father, this is what my father is!

Of course, Ji Zhou knew better that his father would never put everything on himself.

With his father's nature...he is definitely not the only choice.

Crown Prince? The prince can also be deposed.

If necessary, if the Qin State turns against the Xiongnu, his father will immediately give up on him.

The prince is just the prince, not the real khan.

It is an existence that can be abandoned at any time...

Therefore...his reliance...should be Qin.

Compared with any other child, the Qin State would definitely only hope that the Xiongnu would be inherited by itself.

The second hero of the Huns has seen everything clearly, but he can't change much.

The sun rose as usual, and at the end of autumn, the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun convened the tribes, and in the witness of the royal family, Ji Zhou was crowned the Xiongnu prince, and at the same time he agreed to all the covenant conditions of the Qin Dynasty.

After witnessing in Longxi, Jizhu boarded Qin's chariot. The covenant between the Xiongnu and Qin was formally signed, and it was agreed that the Xiongnu would be the country of father and son. The Xiongnu would serve Qin as a father, and stipulated the annual tribute specifications, dates, and mutual trade. After waiting for a series of provisions, the border affairs finally came to an end.

With a strange mood, Ji Zhou embarked on the road to Da Qin, and began to constantly search for all information about the great grandson Zhao Si whom he was about to serve.

Fortunately, Zhao Si was very famous, so Ji Zhou got a lot of information without even having to pry around.

The son of the eldest son Fusu and the eldest grandson of the First Emperor!

Fusu, the eldest son, was appointed as the crown prince at the same time.

With various stories mixed with legends, Jizhu began to speculate on Zhao Si's character.

This is a prince who became a monk on the way, and he did not experience an orthodox royal education in the first half of his life.

"Life is so good..."

Ji Zhou could only sigh.

At the same time, Ji Zhou probably also knew the value of Zhao Si, his grandson.

The Qin Dynasty was all under the rule of that king who kept his word, and his great grandson Zhao Si was also his most beloved grandson. No one could compare with him.

"First Emperor, Fusu..." Jizhu leaned against the carriage and pondered.

The Huns were no strangers to Fusu, who had been in Longxi for a long time, and generally believed that Fusu was a very capable prince.

After all, the defeat of the Xiongnu for more than 700 miles took place during the time when Fusu was in charge of Longxi.

In the view of the Xiongnu Jizhu, Fusu becoming the crown prince means that the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty will be quite stable for a long time to come.

"how about you?"

"Zhao Si..."

Who is the person I am about to serve?

And on the other side, beyond the distant sea...

The envoys of the State of Qin also came to the Maurya Dynasty through Ye Tiao State.

In fact, the leader of Ye Tiao Kingdom did not want Qin to have diplomatic relations with any country except Ye Tiao Kingdom.

However, this idea only exists in his self-pleasure.

Ye Tiaoguo is indeed a hegemon in Indonesia. If Qin wants to engage in diplomacy with other small countries of this generation, they may be able to hinder it.

But the diplomatic partner Qin chose was the Maurya Dynasty.

Maurya!

It was a large and powerful country. Even though the Mauryan Dynasty has continued to decline under the leadership of the Giant Chariot King, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

This is a country that once unified nearly the entire Indian continent, and its power radiated to Indonesia.

Needless to say, its cultural radiation was so wide that even areas farther south in South Vietnam were influenced by the Mauryan Dynasty's culture.

Chan Chi could not move his hands and feet on the Great Qin side, and Chan Chi could not move his hands or feet on the Mauryan Dynasty. Therefore, he could only watch the Great Qin envoys go straight into the Maurya Dynasty. Chan Chi even had to send someone to guide the Great Qin envoys.

Fortunately, the Maurya Dynasty was still some distance away from Ye Tiaoguo, so Chandai could only comfort himself in this way.

The power of the Maurya Dynasty gradually declined, and the Ye Tiao Kingdom that was once able to radiate was no longer able to radiate. Not only the far away Ye Tiao Kingdom, but also the surrounding areas of the Maurya Dynasty had begun to listen to the tune rather than the propaganda.

Of course, the giant car king doesn't care about this.

However, when he learned that Ye Tiaoguo's envoys had arrived with envoys from the distant Great Qin Empire, the greedy and violent Giant Car King still became very interested.

Before meeting the envoys of Great Qin again, King Juche first met with the envoys of Ye Tiaoguo and inquired about the so-called Great Qin Empire.

"A country as great as the Mauryan Dynasty? With a population of more than 20 million and a million-armed army, it is an emperor comparable to Asoka?"

Faced with the bragging of Ye Tiaoguo's envoy, King Ju Che showed a subtle look on his face.

In this era when world exchanges are not extensive, the Central Plains stubbornly believes that it is the center of the world.

The Maurya Dynasty also thought so.

As the origin of civilization, the Mauryan Dynasty naturally had inherent pride and believed that everyone except the Mauryan Dynasty was an uncivilized and barbaric place.

And the king of giant cars, who is so happy about his achievements, also calls himself the most noble and solemn king.

"Summoning the envoy of Qin..." A smile appeared on the fat face of the King of Carriage.

Qin envoy Qiu stepped into the palace of the Maurya Dynasty with his head held high under the leadership of officials.

Qiu was a Qin native who stayed in Ye Tiao Kingdom after establishing peaceful relations with Ye Tiao Kingdom for the first time. He was affiliated with the Hangmao Military Mansion.

Because of the language problem, Qiu stayed in Ye Tiao Kingdom for a long time. Because of his outstanding intelligence, he mastered the mainstream language of Ye Tiao Kingdom in a short period of time and also learned a certain amount of the mainstream language of the Maurya Dynasty. Therefore, simple communication has become It can be done. After discussion by Lin Jingyu and others, it was decided to send Qiu as an envoy to the Maurya Dynasty.

It is impossible for Great Qin to carry out diplomacy under the guise of Ye Tiao people, so mastering the language is a must. This is also the main reason why Great Qin has not started to communicate with the Maurya Dynasty after getting through Ye Tiao country.

Ye Tiaoguo was originally just an appetizer, a small country with a population of only a few million. Zhao Si had determined the diplomatic focus of this generation long ago.

The Maurya Dynasty, and only the Maurya Dynasty, an empire with a population similar to that of Great Qin, was worthy of Great Qin's efforts.

Under the leadership of Ashoka, the Indian continent ushered in unification for the first time. Ashoka spent the rest of his life fighting and devoted himself to cultural education and construction, so the Maurya Dynasty had a strong population conflict.

By the time of King Chariot's generation, although the Maurya Dynasty had obviously declined, there were still 30 million households.

The natural environment of this place is also good. If not, future generations would not be able to replace Zhuxia as the most populous country.

A population of 30 million means a vast market and manpower, cheap labor and means of production.

However, it is obvious that the King of Giant Cars does not seem to care about establishing diplomatic relations with Qin.

Even though Ye Tiaoguo's envoys have told Juche King many times that Qin is a powerful country worthy of respect, for Juche King, he is more of a joking and entertaining mentality.

With a unique arrogance...

When Qiu stepped into the main hall, all the officials in the court were looking at Qiu's unique dress and appearance.

The giant car king is also sizing up...

Accompanied by whispers and faint laughter, there is really no trace of respect.

"Are you the envoy of the State of Qin?" With a smile on his face, the king of giant cars did not stop the disrespectful behavior of his ministers, pointing and whispering. Instead, he asked in person with a joking tone.

"As you can see, I am the envoy from Great Qin." Qiu answered according to Qin etiquette.

He was very polite, but Qiu's tone was harsh and cold. It was his response to his dissatisfaction with the scene. Qiu did not give the giant car king a good look.

"As a minister, when you meet me, the king, why don't you kneel down and worship me? Do you think you don't respect me?" King Ju Che frowned when he saw Qiu looking at him, and took the lead in attacking.

"I am the envoy. I follow His Majesty's edict and will, and I represent the King's will!" Qiu's figure did not move at all, with a sneer on his face.

"On the other hand, as a king, when faced with interactions from big countries, the court cannot be silent. The ministers whisper and do not care about the majesty of the monarch. Is it because they are not afraid of your majesty?"

The giant car king's eyelids twitched twice when he heard this, as if he felt very humiliated. With a trace of cruelty on his fat face, he looked at the whispering ministers.

When the ministers saw this, they immediately became silent...

Although the Ju Che King is not a qualified king, he is definitely a qualified tyrant. The ministers fear his voice like a tiger, and of course they dare not embarrass the Ju Che King.

"I feel your offense and disrespect. Now, you are in my palace, and the king you are loyal to is not here, but you come to offend my majesty. Do you think your king can travel thousands of miles to protect you? Huh?" The giant cart king sneered, stood up with the help of his attendants, stepped down the steps step by step, and stood in front of Qiu.

"You can indeed kill me, right now! If you are ready to go to war with Da Qin." Qiu frowned.

He really didn't expect today's situation. After all, Da Qin and the Maurya Dynasty had no grudges. Logically speaking, this was a normal mission and communication. Anyone with a normal mind would give them the most basic respect.

But the King of Giant Cars was obviously not normal. His first thought after hearing about Da Qin was that some country had offended him?

It was difficult for Qiu to deal with this situation. He was a messenger, not a psychiatrist.

"War?"

The giant car king laughed when he heard the sound, and his laughter became louder and louder.

"Start a war with the Maurya Dynasty and declare war on me?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"The Maurya Dynasty is not Ye Tiaoguo, and I am not the incompetent person like Chan Dai..." The King of Giant Cars sneered.

"I would like to see if your king will go to war with me because I killed you."

Qiu was not afraid when he heard the sound, but chose to lead his neck to be killed.

"In that case, please prepare your country to go to war with Great Qin!"

When the giant car king heard the sound, his brows moved slightly.

After all, a few ministers still spoke up to persuade him.

After all, the reputation of killing envoys from other countries for no reason is really bad.

It's okay to make things difficult, but if you really want to kill...then...

The King of Giant Cars snorted when he heard this, and waved his hand as if he was persuaded or frightened by Qiu.

"Catch him and put him in prison..."

In this way, Qiu became a prisoner.

In fact, Qiu didn't understand part of the discussion in the court because he didn't learn the language well enough.

At this moment, Qiu's mind only echoed the instructions given to him by his colleagues in the Hangmao Military Mansion when Ye Tiaoguo was the envoy.

It is said that this was also given by His Highness Taisun.

There are many people with abnormal brains in the Maurya Dynasty, so when negotiating with them, no matter what the situation, you must prepare for the worst.

How abnormal it is, Qiu finally saw it today.
