"Ask, I am an envoy of the Han Dynasty. This is an open matter with the Dalan family. I think the Shanyu also knows about it.
In addition to the affairs of the Han Dynasty, at most I would ask about the affairs of the princes and kings. What else could I ask? "
Liu Jing was excited and nervous at the same time, but it was not like he had never seen the big world.
At the beginning, as a mere garrison soldier, through his hometown relationship with General Yu, the captain of Luoyang City Gate, he directly met with Liu Ji about the capital move and contradicted him in public.
Even the emperors of the Han Dynasty saw it, so what should they fear when facing the Xiongnu Chanyu?
Liu Jing thought, straightening his back more and more, hugging Han Jie tightly with both hands, and took steps to keep up with Ake Whyhen and Lao Nie.
But in his heart, he still couldn't help but secretly recite the answers to all the questions that Mao Dun might ask.
The sky was getting dark outside the felt tent, and countless oil lamps were lit in the king's tent. Amidst the slight smell of animal fat, the lights were shining like daylight.
In the huge brightly lit felt tent, Maodun Chanyu, who made the entire grassland change his color, appeared in front of Liu Jing's eyes.
In fact, Mao Dun's appearance was not much different from the Huns men he saw along the way. They all had long hair, beautiful beards, handsome outlines, and tall bodies.
When you look closely at the facial features, they are not as delicate as those of the Dalan clan and the seventh prince Ainen. They seem to imply the unique cold wind and frost on the grassland.
The Chanyu sat cross-legged on a raised soft felt cushion, wearing a long red coat with loose collar and cuffs, and stripes of smooth black mink fur, which made his deep eyebrows even more majestic. stern.
On one side of his seat, there were two well-dressed and serious-looking Akeweishi, one of whom seemed to be the young man who had just led them into the tent.
On the other side, there sat a handsome young man who was also dressed in luxurious clothes and had his hair decorated with gold. He looked slightly older than Ainen, but his expression was full of childishness.
Liu Jing knew that this was Prince Jizhu, the son of Mao Dun and the Dalan family.
It can be seen that the people on the grassland are also prepared for what is about to happen. Not only Ainen, the right king, but also the prince and left Xian king, Jizhu, arrived at the royal court early before the Julin meeting.
***
Old Nie looked around, put his face on his chest, bowed deeply to Mao Dun, and then bowed to the prince.
And Liu Jing also followed the etiquette of visiting a king and bowed down to Mao Dun in an upright manner.
"Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I would like to ask you how the Xiongnu Great Chan is doing."
Only a few words were heard from Maodun's deep voice, and Lao Nie hurriedly translated:
"Chanyu said that he also wished the great emperor well.
He has already heard the reason for your coming here. "
Liu Jing raised his head calmly and glanced at the shining golden crown above Moton's head. The towering relief on it was extremely three-dimensional, as if it were an eagle standing proudly with its wings spread, stepping on the heads of four fighting wolves. .
"At the beginning of our dynasty, the great emperor specially sent his ministers as special envoys to greet the Great Chanyu.
The Great Emperor said that within the Great Wall is the Crown and Belt Room, and he will rule it.
To the north of the Great Wall is the country of Yi Gong, which is under the orders of the Great Chanyu.
I hope that the people of our two countries will farm, weave, and hunt as close as one family, and that the great emperor and the great chanyu will be our parents, so that we can live in peace. "
Modun thought for a moment and murmured a few more words. He saw the young prince sitting beside him slowly raising his head and staring at Liu Jing critically, while Old Nie's expression changed slightly and his throat was a little dry.
"——Chanyu asked, who said that the area within the Great Wall must be governed by your great emperor?"
Liu Jing took a deep breath, came, came again.
It seems that the emperors on both sides have the same problem. When they meet him for the first time, they are absolutely unwilling to talk to him and just want to scare him with their momentum.
“Our Great Emperor, like the Great Chanyu, is the chosen one.
Nine years ago, when the emperor was still in his hometown in Peixian County, he encountered a huge white snake blocking the road. The emperor immediately drew his sword and killed it.
Later, I learned from the villagers that the big white snake was the son of the White Emperor, and that I, the Great Emperor, was the son of the Red Emperor. "
Old Nie translated tremblingly, then smiled sarcastically and didn't take it seriously.
“It’s just a matter of cutting off a white snake, it’s a trivial matter.
We warriors on the grassland, which month does not kill a few wolves? "
Liu Jing raised his head higher, placed one end of the joint firmly on the ground, looked directly into Mao Dun's eyes, and said loudly,
"Do I dare to ask the Great Chanyu? In nine years, our Great Emperor led a mere three thousand people to fight against the rebels. We fought seventy wars and forty small wars, and finally pacified the world and founded the Han Dynasty.
Is this also a trivial matter in your mouth?
There are millions of people in this world, how come there is no one other than him who can accomplish such a small thing?
Lao Nie, don't be afraid. No matter how big this matter is, it won't be your fault. Just help me translate it word for word. "
His last words were addressed to Lao Nie.
As if inspired by Liu Jing's courage, Lao Nie's voice no longer trembled, his anger filled his Dantian, and his sentences were ringing.
"Well, this is not something ordinary people can do easily."
Modun pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Jing again. His sharp and sinister eyes reminded him of those wild wolves that circled around the campfire in the middle of the night.
"You, what are you? You don't look like a military commander."
"My surname is Liu Mingjing, and I am the most ordinary doctor in the Luoyang court.
My surname is a national surname specially given by the emperor before his departure, just to show respect for the great Chanyu. "
"Liu Jing, you are very courageous, haven't you heard of Mingdi?
Do you also want to try my Mingdy? "
***
"The Great Chanyu's singing is famous all over the world. Of course I have heard of it."
After entering the tiger's den alone, Liu Jing also completely let go. A surge of heroic spirit rose from his guts. He held the knuckle in his right hand, paused lightly on the thick blanket on the ground, made a few muffled sounds, and laughed,
"I don't have the power to tie a chicken, and I only learned how to ride a horse recently. It's a waste of time for me to use Ming Dy on me.
However, there are twenty million people in the Han Dynasty who are as unafraid of death as Chen, and Chen is only the weakest among them.
I'm afraid that all the Ming Dys on this grassland can't kill the warriors of the Central Plains, hahaha. "
Lao Nie translated word for word. At this time, he looked at the young nerd with unprecedented respect in his eyes.
After listening to Lao Nie's translation, Mao Dun remained silent, staring directly at the envoy who was not afraid of death.
After a long while, he laughed dryly a few more times, and Old Nie hurriedly said,
"He asked you, apart from the peace talks and the opening and closing of the city, if you have anything else to say, please say it before you die."
Liu Jing had already put his life and death at risk, so he decided to risk his life.
"In addition to the good relations between the two countries, I have another request.
That is, please ask the Great Chanyu not to help the vassal states in their evil deeds. "
"——Why?"
“Because they will definitely lose.
In fact, our great emperor has already known clearly about King Yan's purchase of horses from the grassland, but he just didn't reveal it secretly. "
Hearing Liu Jing suddenly expose this secret deal, even though it was nothing to do with Lao Nie, a chill could not help but run down his spine.
"All of this is a trap set by the Great Emperor, just like the rope loop you use to trap a wolf. The wolf has already entered the trap, and he will close the net soon."
This move was Liu Jing's boldest guess. At this moment, he saw a difference in Mao Dun's expression and knew that he had won.
