The awe-inspiring meaning in Cao Cao's voice could be sensed by the Kushan envoys even without his psychic ability. This toughness that did not bother to explain made the Kushan envoys look askance and even a little curious about Cao Cao's identity. After all, Cao Cao stepped forward to stop him. Their toughness shows that he can make the decision!
"Your Highness, I am the envoy of Guishuang. I have come to the Han Dynasty to present my credentials to the Han Dynasty. What qualifications does this person have to scold me in front of Your Highness? I have heard that the Han Empire is a country of etiquette. When I see you today, I am so generous!" A Kushan envoy stepped forward and said coldly.
It’s a matter of Guishang’s face. Even if blood is spilled three steps today, Guishang will not tolerate the humiliation of the Han Dynasty. He canonizes the maid of Yeting as a princess and gives me Guishang as the queen. It’s such a big tone. Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Guishuang wore millions of armors. Although he didn't understand Han rituals, wouldn't he hear that the emperor was angry and laid down the corpses of millions of people?
You, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, are the emperor, and I, the Emperor of the Kushan Dynasty, are also the emperor. What happened today is like this. So if you don’t give me face, why should I give you face? The face of my Kushan family is not something that you, the Han Dynasty, can humiliate, and I cannot lose in a battle. If you don't have the courage to face the humiliation of the Han Dynasty when you cross the border, then Guishuang will falsely claim to be an empire!
"Ha!" Liu Tong, who originally had a gentle face and a comforting tone, also restrained his gentleness at this time. His wide sleeves with gold patterns and red soles shook slightly and he stood up from the main seat.
"Han etiquette is for friends, Kushan, huh!" Liu Tong glanced at the Kushan envoy with mischievous eyes, then slowly turned to look at Cao Cao, "As for Cao Sikong, I don't think there is anything wrong. I am willing to give Your explanation is that I treat you as an ally, but since I don’t believe it, I’ve put it here, whether you believe it or not!”
"Has your Highness already considered it?" The Kushan envoy who stepped forward was not as humble as the previous one. He stared at Liu Tong who was sitting high on the throne and said coldly. Since he stepped forward, all the Kushan envoys All the envoys were led by him.
"The spirit and blood of the last country that said this to the Han Empire have been wiped out. I never thought that anyone would dare to do this!" Liu Tong clearly felt the threat in the words of the Kushan envoy, and his voice was cold and stern. A few points.
"You don't need to care about me, Your Highness, but in my opinion, Your Highness's position is not stable. On the contrary, this Cao Sikong is more like a master. Since there is no other princess in the Han Dynasty, it would be better for Your Highness to marry my lord." Kushan Envoy Said with a sneer.
Having said that, what else is there to be afraid of? You are a Han Dynasty cow, right? Our Kushans are not afraid of trouble. If you can’t marry a princess, marry your queen!
"Take them all!" Liu Tong said with a gloomy face. Although she didn't care about this, she was by no means a person who allowed others to make irresponsible remarks.
As soon as Liu Tong finished speaking, two of the Kushan envoys retreated quickly, preparing to fly away and inform Vesutiva I of what happened in the Weiyang Palace.
When things got to this level, there was actually no turning around. Both the Kushan and the Han Dynasties were actually considering their own faces.
It was impossible for the Han Dynasty to explain to outsiders why there was no such thing as a princess, and they did not bother to make up a hypothesis to fool Kushan.
Because the current Han Dynasty is no longer the Han Dynasty that was once suppressed by the Xiongnu. No matter how you say it, it is actually a kind of frustration.
Whether it is canonizing a palace maid as a princess, or canonizing a guilty clan member as a princess, in the eyes of the Xiongnu, what they got is a real princess, and even if the Han Dynasty knew it was a fake, they would not dare to say it. It can only be said to be a means of self-comfort. .
After Emperor Wu crippled the Xiongnu with all his efforts, the Han Dynasty no longer bothered to do this. Even the married princess will clearly tell you that this is the one we canonize, whether it is the eldest daughter or the palace maid.
What's more important is that whether she is a eldest daughter or a palace maid, when we canonize her as a princess, marrying you means giving you face, and you have to bear with me. Remember, this is giving you face.
So even in the face of Guishuang, the Han Dynasty did not bother to hide it. Princesses cannot marry outside, they can only be canonized. There is no princess now. If you want, you can be canonized as a palace maid. If you don't want, then get out. If we don't have it, we don't have it.
This is because Liu Tong has a soft personality. If he were placed on the previous group of war criminal emperors, he would probably respond with two words, no.
The Kushan envoys were also aggrieved. When they came, they were not prepared to actually marry a princess. After all, they understood the situation. It was impossible for a Han princess to marry outside, so from the beginning, the Kushans made a plan to withdraw. And seek the next best preparation.
In this case, the Kushan envoy thought that he had already given face to the Han Dynasty and taken care of the Han Dynasty's emotions, so it would be very helpful to find a princess who is closely related to us and canonize us as a princess to take care of our emotions. That's what it should be, right.
However, the actual development pattern is completely different from what the Kushan envoy thought. There is no princess, only palace maids. The Kushan envoy felt at that time that it was a waste of time. In the eyes of the Han Empire, our Guishan has the same feelings as Wusun. Not as good as a rubbish country?
Since you, the Han Dynasty, don’t regard us as human beings, then why should we give you face? As expected, as the secretary said, countries can only communicate with each other by force. You Han Dynasty do not have princesses, right? Okay, then we Kushan himself used force to ask for it.
The Kushan Empire, which can no longer extend at present, will collide with the Han Dynasty sooner or later. Since you are unwilling to give, then we will fight until you give it. Chen Bing million will be at the border to let you Han Dynasty feel the pressure. Take a look. Is the princess worth this?
It doesn't matter whether you are canonized as a princess or a palace maid at that time. Taking Kushan as a trophy will be enough to show the glory of Vesutiva I, and it will be enough for Vesudev I to further reduce the internal losses of Kushan.
This is the plan of Zhu Helai, the secretary of Vesuthiva I. It would be great to marry a princess of the Han Dynasty. If you can't marry, then use other methods. After all, no matter how many narratives there are, for the unseen princess It is impossible for the Han Dynasty princess Vesudev I to have the so-called love.
For Vesudev I, the princess of the Han Dynasty was more of a tool to demonstrate her own achievements and integrate the country's strength.
No matter what method is used, whether it is seeking or forcing, as long as you get it, it is success.
Even if she is a palace maid enthroned by the Han Dynasty, as long as the Han Dynasty cannot open her mouth to tell the truth under pressure, this is fine.
Therefore, since formal means cannot obtain a legitimate princess with Han bloodline, it is not impossible to use force.
Zhu Helai had already agreed with Vesutiva I when he sent envoys early in the morning. This was a strategy in itself, and whether it succeeded or failed, it could consolidate the situation in Kushan to a great extent.
It succeeded. Needless to say, the achievements and prestige of Vesutiva I were enough to force the Kushans together and make the Kushans a powerful empire that was not inferior to the Han Dynasty and Rome.
If it fails, then the situation of Yan Gaozhen will be repeated. This kind of historical reappearance will make the Kushan nobles feel aggrieved again, and thus they will have the idea of challenging the Han Dynasty. After all, compared with a hundred years ago, the Guishan nobles will Frost is really much stronger now.
Such powerful strength, but no matching status, their Kushan emperor could not marry a princess from the Han Empire's clan. This was enough for all the Kushan nobles to clearly realize their status in the eyes of the Han Empire.
Since then, almost everyone in Kushan has entered a state of grief and indignation. With concerted efforts, they still have the power to integrate the entire country.
In this case, whether it is to take the opportunity to integrate the country and mediate domestic conflicts, or to use millions of soldiers to force the Han Dynasty to marry a princess, it is an option.
Of course, after Vesuthiva I ordered the organization of an envoy to the Han Dynasty and Rome, Zhu Helai was ready to send millions of troops.
After all, with millions of soldiers, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone to transfer domestic conflicts outward and integrate the overall strength of Guishang.
When the time comes, if you win the battle, avenge your shame, and get the Han Dynasty princess, the spiritual vigor of the entire country will make great strides forward because of this, and there will be no need to grovel in front of the Han Dynasty. As for domestic conflicts, jokes, and even... The Han Dynasty could be overthrown, and even if the domestic conflicts could not be eliminated, the Kushan Empire would still be the top empire!
As for defeat, there is nothing we can do about it. Yan Gaozhen, the founding emperor of the Guishan Kingdom, even lost. There is nothing wrong with our failure. The Han Dynasty is so cool and cool. It is natural for others to look down on us. When the time comes, we will be cowarded and kill them. Zhu He came to hand over the matter.
However, even if they lost, in Zhu Helai's estimation, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to come from the Western Regions and Indochina to destroy the Kushans. Moreover, even if the Han Dynasty wanted to destroy them, it would be almost impossible due to logistical supplies. .
On the contrary, the Central Asian and South Asian parts of Kushan will have a clearer understanding of themselves after such a failure, and there will definitely not be such conflicts between Kushan Central Asia and Kushan South Asia.
This powerful external force is enough to hammer out all the dregs from the cast iron of Kushan, turning the Kushan Empire, an empire full of internal contradictions, into a ball of fine iron under the attack of the Han Empire's hammer, and even A divine sword.
At that time, a lot of territory and a lot of untouchables may be lost, but to Zhu Helai, this is just a number. The Kushan Empire will become a powerful empire comparable to Rome and the Han Dynasty. Without these It's never possible once.
Therefore, Kushan was well prepared from the beginning, and Zhu Helai's wisdom also resulted in the empire's hegemony from the beginning.
After this incident, no matter how the Han Dynasty reacts, whether it is for the princess or a painful battle, and no matter whether the Kushans win or lose, as long as the Kushans do not destroy the country, there will eventually be someone among the top empires in the world. The Kushan Empire after rebirth from the ashes.
As for Zhu Helai's death, well, on the way forward for the empire, there will never be a shortage of wise men willing to use their corpses to pave the way for this country, and there will never be a shortage of heroes willing to turn them into road signs.
