In early June, envoys from the Western Regions came to Xianyang again, and the Wusun royal family was also escorted back to Xianyang.
Xianyang Palace.
"I didn't expect that I would meet you all again in just two months." I teased as I looked at the crowd of envoys from the Western Regions in front of me.
Que Dun's expression was more respectful than the last time he came to Xianyang, and he saluted and said: "Emperor Da Qin, we are here to thank Emperor Qin this time. Da Qin destroyed Wusun for us, avenged Yanqi's massacre, and restored us country, we are extremely grateful!”
I smiled and responded: "Da Qin and you are originally two countries, so we should help you."
Now that the form has changed, I deliberately emphasized the word "original".
Anyone who can come as an envoy is not a dragon among men. Hearing this, his expressions changed immediately. Kaqu's fat face twitched, but he was not in a hurry to express their intention. Que Dun continued his compliments: "The Emperor of Qin descended to earth like a god from heaven and saved the Western Regions from fire and water. This kindness cannot be repaid. All the countries in the Western Regions are willing to do this. The Emperor of Qin presented his honorary title as King of Tianshan!"
They were used to Da Qin calling them the Western Regions. Now that they asked me for something, they changed their name to the Western Regions.
But I was stunned, what the hell is Tianshan King? What kind of title is this? What does Tian Khan mean? This sounds far worse than Tian Khan!
Que Dun saw that I was stunned and immediately explained: "Tianshan Mountain is our holy mountain in the Western Regions. It has nourished countless people in the Western Regions. Youze, Jishishui, Yutian River, etc. all originate from Tianshan Mountains. This name is intended to represent the people of the Western Regions." The country respects the Emperor of Qin just as it respects the Tianshan Mountains."
Because of Chustin! I laughed secretly. It seemed that they wanted to use a false name to satisfy me. I am not that stupid.
"Envoy, I am the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, I have been respected all over the world and more noble than the nine states. I am afraid that I deserve this title." I am the emperor. If you give me the title of king, isn't it lowering my status?
Perhaps it was a problem with the translation, but they did not understand what I meant, but continued: "Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, please be sure to receive this honorary title, otherwise we will not be able to return to the king when we return home!"
I smiled slightly, if that's the case, then I'll satisfy you.
"Since you are sincere, I will accept this title!"
Que Dun was overjoyed and said quickly: "The Great Emperor of Qin is a wise man. Not only did we present our title to the Emperor of Great Qin, we also brought countless rare treasures to express our gratitude to the Emperor of Great Qin."
"I heard about it. The Great Qin army spent a lot of money and food on the expedition, so I accepted it." Don't give it up if it comes to you, and after accepting it, these people will probably get down to business.
Sure enough, when Kaqu saw that I had agreed, he immediately politely said: "Emperor Qin, your army has traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions. Logically, we should provide the army with food. However, although Wusun has been destroyed, we have been plundered by Wusun." I am afraid that we cannot afford such a large amount of military rations. Besides, the army must miss its homeland very much due to the long journey. The Emperor of Qin is kind and will you allow your army to return to Da Qin?"
I couldn't help but sigh at their naivety. The principle that Chinese people have always believed in is: come and come! There is no reason to retreat easily.
I pretended to agree and nodded slightly: "The envoy is right, I have exactly what I meant."
Many envoys were overjoyed. They did not expect me to agree to withdraw the troops so easily. However, the next words made their hearts arouse again.
"But..." I glanced at the expressions of everyone in the circle and I was very satisfied: "Although Wusun has been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, once my army retreats, I am afraid that the Wusun will resurgence. By then, wouldn't it be in vain for the Qin Dynasty and you to gain nothing? So? Wusun’s army cannot withdraw yet.”
Kaqu said cautiously: "Then what does the Emperor of Qin think we should do?"
I thought about it and said solemnly: "I have decided to let the Qin army from the twelve states of Shanbei and Cheshi return to the territory of Wusun. I am already looking for peace-loving Wusun people to help them ascend the throne. Soothe the Wusun lands, and then withdraw them all to Da Qin after Wusun is settled. It is expected to be realized in half a year, what do you think?"
The envoy from the Western Regions breathed a long sigh of relief, and his anxious heart was temporarily relieved. The envoys from the twelve kingdoms of Shanbei and Cheshi were excited when they heard that the Qin army in their territory had withdrawn first, and immediately agreed: "The Emperor of Qin, the King of Tianshan, Shengming!"
People from other countries were still a little worried. Kaqu rolled his eyes and cupped his hands and said: "Emperor Qin, since you are worried about Wusun, should the troops from Qiuchi and other countries also go to help pacify Wusun? This would be more secure. Some?"
I sneered in my heart, are you playing tricks on me?
Shi Shiran said: "Don't worry, envoys. You must have heard that our Qin army can defeat a hundred people, not to mention the Wusun. The other Qin troops should stay in other countries temporarily to transport food and grass and guard against the Wusun." It’s for the remnants of grandson.”
Seeing that he wanted to speak, I narrowed my eyes slightly and said, "The envoy is eager to let the Qin army withdraw. Is it because he is worried that the Qin Dynasty is plotting against your land?"
Everyone hurriedly apologized: "The Emperor of Qin misunderstood, we did not mean this. In this case, I will go back and resume my life soon!"
"Wait a minute." I stopped them. There was still a good show to watch, so how could I let them go.
"Bring people in."
As soon as the words fell, the imperial army escorted more than thirty members of the Wusun royal family into the palace.
When people from all the countries in the Western Region saw Nan Dou Mi being escorted in, they all looked at him angrily.
Idiot Xun Ye no longer had the arrogance he had last time. His life in prison had made him unkempt, and now he was even more trembling in the palace.
I took the lead and smiled at Xun Ye: "Xu Ye, last time you insulted me, Da Qin, I respected your status as an envoy and did not care about you. Now that we meet again, you are already a prisoner."
Xuan Ye murmured and kowtowed. Just as the speaker was about to translate, I waved my hand and said, "I don't want to know what he is talking about."
Then he said to Nan Dou Wei: "King Wusun, you massacred the city and killed good people, and committed evil. I am doing justice for heaven and will kill you. Do you have anything to say?"
Nan Douliu looked frightened and begged for mercy: "Emperor Qin, I have realized my mistake. Hujie forced me to do all this. I, Wusun, was often plundered by Hujie and the Huns. If I did not submit to them, Wusun would have been They attacked and destroyed me. Now I ask the Emperor of Qin to spare my life. I am willing to serve the Emperor of Qin as the master and return to Wusun to fight against the Xiongnu with Da Qin!"
I shook my head and said calmly: "Wusun is just a small country, and the Qin Dynasty disdains to conspire with you. Come and kill the entire Wusun royal family outside Xianyang City!"
Then he looked at the envoy from the Western Regions and said: "Everyone, I have specially ordered him to be escorted back to Xianyang for questioning, just to prepare a good show for you. Chen Qing!"
Chen Qing stood up: "I'm here!"
"Go with all the envoys to see it. Don't let anyone miss this joyous moment when great revenge is avenged!"
Seeing the envoy from the Western Regions thanking him excitedly, I sighed inwardly.
Since you can't understand the hint, there's nothing I can do about it.
