Given a choice between life and dignity, Tamuli chose his own life without hesitation.
He is a smart man to begin with, not to mention he is a Wuhuan native. As for things like sacrificing his life for righteousness, let's forget about it.
That's not what he should be playing with!
Seeing that this guy knelt down so spinelessly, even the ministers of the Han family who were watching from the side cast disdainful glances at him.
Although if they really changed places, I'm afraid many of them would make the same choice as him.
However, this does not prevent them from laughing at this guy's greed for life and fear of death from the moral high ground at this time.
"Very good, remember this from now on. This is how a barbarian like you should talk when he comes to Han Dynasty!"
Liu Deng was finally satisfied, with a smile on his face.
Although Tamuli felt deeply humiliated, he did not dare to resist at this time. After all, the sharp sword in Liu Deng's hand was right against his neck.
Although he knew that what this boy did today was a bit excessive, Liu Qi did not say a word from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, Liu Deng, the acting king, led his army to attack the Xiongnu, and returned victorious. It took twenty-eight days, and the new city at the foot of Yin Mountain was built. During this period, he fought two major battles with the Xiongnu, killing more than 50,000 enemies and beheading 20,000 more. ! Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Crown Prince to give a name to the new city!"
Nowadays, there is no news. When Liu Deng and the Huns were fighting bloody battles at the foot of Yin Mountain, although these Wuhuan envoys said they were taking a detour, they heard nothing about it.
It wasn't until the good news came a few days ago that he learned about the Yinshan victory.
Tamuli was still a little resentful towards Liu Deng, but when he heard him reveal his identity, he no longer dared to have any resentment!
Acting King Liu Deng!
These four words are heard like thunder even among the Wuhuan people, not to mention the Huns.
In less than a year, the Huns suffered losses at his hands not once or twice. The total number of Huns lost at the hands of the Dai army exceeded hundreds of thousands. .
This is almost Wuhuan's entire force!
He really can't afford to offend such a ruthless person...
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. Please step aside and rest for now. Wait until I, the Crown Prince, finish handling the matters here before making any further calculations!"
There was no sadness or joy on Liu Qi's face, and his eyes were filled with concern as he glanced at the faces of the ministers who had just approved the Wuhuan people's proposal of marriage, which made everyone feel frightened.
If Liu Deng didn't come, of course they could all speak freely, but who dares to talk nonsense in front of Liu Deng now? Isn't that asking for death?
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wang Bi's forehead. He never expected that after Liu Deng acted so domineeringly, His Highness the Crown Prince would remain completely silent, as if he didn't see anything.
This was the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty that a large-scale killing was carried out in the Xuanshi Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I think this matter is very inappropriate. Although it is a privilege given by His Majesty to carry a sword to the palace on behalf of the King, killing people in the Xuanshi Palace is the first time since the founding of the country! If His Highness the Crown Prince does not do such a heinous and unethical thing, If they are severely punished, where will the dignity of the Han family be?"
Wang Yi took a deep breath, then stood up and spoke loudly.
There was nothing he could do. Liu Qi's performance at this time had already forced him into a corner. If he didn't come out to speak, it would be his turn after Liu Qi finished dealing with this Wuhuan man.
Since it would be a single blow to die early or later, it was better to jump out now, at least to seize the opportunity.
"Oh? Mr. An Guo, you mean that the king did something wrong?"
Liu Qi looked at Wang Zhu with some amusement and said.
"Although envoy Wuhuan is rude, in any case, His Highness the King of Dai should not kill people in the main hall! The two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys. This move of the King of Dai is really inappropriate. Please punish him severely!"
Wang Bi was a veteran, so he just quoted it out of context, completely ignoring the cause and effect of the incident, and only talked about Liu Deng killing people in the main hall.
It was obviously this guy who was looking for trouble, but at this moment he actually said it so righteously.
"I believe that Marquis Anguo's words are reasonable! Please handle this matter strictly, Your Highness!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
Now that An Guohou is charging in front, the guys behind are naturally happy to follow. Now the situation seems to be back to the one-sided situation it was just now.
"Your Highness, the Wuhuan envoy came here with sincerity, but now he has died in Chang'an. If this matter is not handled strictly, how will the people of the world view us?"
Seeing that there were so many followers behind him, Wang Yi actually felt like he was responding to everything. When he saw Liu Deng's provocative eyes, he simply gritted his teeth and continued.
"Hahahaha, I said you, surnamed Wang, are really simple enough. Regarding the conditions put forward by these Wuhuan people, you actually said that they are sincere. Are you telling lies with your eyes open?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yihou said disdainfully.
"What's wrong with exchanging a woman for Wuhuan's entire country? This marriage policy started with Emperor Gaozu. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Anyway, the words have been said for this purpose. At this time, Wang Yi must support this point of view no matter what.
However, as a veteran, Wang Bi still dug a hole for Liu Deng.
"Marquis Anguo, you can be considered a dignified seven-foot-tall man. Don't you feel ashamed to say such words? When Gaozu was surrounded and forced to accept the marriage, Gaozu was open-minded throughout his life, but when he arrived, In the end, he died of depression. You actually spoke so righteously about the original alliance under the city. Are you still a man?"
Liu Deng is not a fool, so of course he cannot fall into such a despicable trap.
In just a few words, he kicked the ball to him again.
"Hahahaha, His Majesty the King is right! Although I, Old Chen, am incompetent, I cannot do such a shameless thing!"
As a god-level player, of course Tangyi Hou Chen Wu had to step up and make up for it.
As soon as he said these words, Wang Zhen's face suddenly turned livid.
"The Marquis of Tangyi said it well! If I, a big man, want the land of Wuhuan, I should naturally fight for it with the sword in the hand of my Han family man. I don't mind if I don't want the land in exchange for a woman! Don't you think, the poor man Aren't you going to be able to eat the food that comes with sighing? Am I, the emperor of the Han family, worse than a pauper?"
As soon as Liu Deng said these words, even Shen Tujia couldn't help but cheer. He didn't know where he learned his sharp teeth and sharp tongue.
However, no matter how fierce their quarrel was, Shen Tujia still had no intention of intervening.
Now that the matter has reached this point, it seems that today there will definitely be a distinction between high and low. The people following Wang Zou are direct descendants of several major princes and kings.
Although I don’t know the purpose of these people getting together, Shen Tujia is not prepared to take a trip into this muddy water!
