Chapter 660 What the hell is He Qin?

Chuluo Khan is a kind of mediocre person. In other words, he thought that the Turks could control the grasslands. As for the invasion of the Central Plains himself, he was not very interested. He prefers to learn from the Han people and instructs the heroes of the Central Plains who defected to him to fight each other and then make profits from it.

However, Jie Li is different. This guy has always been ambitious when he was a Khan. In the past, Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen, and Jie Li was the leader of the most war faction. If Yang Guang had not been lucky, he might have become a prisoner of the Turks.

After becoming a Khan, he first married his former stepmother, now his sister-in-law Yicheng, and took the heart of all the ministers to collect gold. Then, he joined forces to compete with the prepared Western Turks.

And he took this opportunity to recruit more people under his command. As for the disobedient tribe, he would either be taken to death by him when fighting against the Western Turks, or he would directly wave the butcher knife in his hand to destroy the rebels.

In just a few months, the entire Eastern Turks were all subdued by their tyranny, and the heroes of the Central Plains who surrendered to them expressed their humility to the grassland overlord.

Before, when Wang Shichong wanted to take Hancheng, he sent an envoy to report to the Turks, but Chuluo Khan disagreed. However, because Jie Li Khan insisted, he agreed to unite with Wang Shichong and jointly plan for Guanzhong.

However, because Wei Yunqi found out about their plan in advance and strangled the war that was about to start before the accident, Liang Shidu and the Eastern Turks, who had prepared the butcher's knife, could only squat outside Yan'an County and stared at him.

Although we withdraw our troops and continue to show our faces of friendship and not war, both government and country are very clear that peace between the two sides will definitely be temporary. I believe that in the near future, there will definitely be a life-and-death war.

"But no matter what, I can only take charge of my daughter's marriage. Not to mention that they are young, even if they are at the age of marriage, I will not point my daughter to anyone. You, understand?" This young master stared at Tang Jian and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible?" Tang Jian rolled his eyelids, looking amused and wailed. "The imperial daughter is the flesh and blood of the Tian family. How can she marry a foreigner easily? I still have this little brain."

"What do you mean by Brother Maoyou?" I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still had questions in my heart.

Tang Jian started to talk patiently and politely. Finally, I understood that there are so many content introductions to the marriage kinship. The so-called marriage kinship was first proposed in the early Western Han Dynasty. His eyes were to endure humiliation and retreat to the Huns, hoping to reconcile the struggles between foreign races and hope to avoid war.

According to historical records, as early as the reign of King Xiang of Zhou, King Xiang wanted to attack Zheng, so he married Di's daughter as queen and fought with Rongdi soldiers to attack Zheng. This was an early marriage incident in history. Since then, the Han and Tang Dynasties have been in constant writings. Although some of these marriages were forced, some were voluntary, some were successful, and some failed, marriages were often used by rulers as an important means and strategy for dealing with ethnic relations. The reason is that most marriages will have certain results, or can temporarily postpone the outbreak of war, or can express friendship and win over the other party.

There are also many ways to marry, such as taking the royal family as princesses, marrying a foreign race, or marrying a nationality after giving the title of a palace maid.

This is definitely not a fool, but a historical fact. During the Western Han Dynasty, after Emperor Xuan of Han passed away, his son Liu Bing ascended the throne, which was the Emperor Yuan of Han who summoned Wang Zhaojun to the palace. At this time, Huhanye Shanyu had a good relationship with the Han Dynasty. In 33 BC, Huhanye Shanyu went to Chang'an again, and this time he made a request for marriage.

The suggestion of "marriage" was originally proposed by Lou Jingde during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han. At that time, the Huns were strong and weak. Empress Lu had only one daughter, so she could not bear to marry her far away from a foreign country. Therefore, the marriage always chose a daughter from a royal family to pretend to be a princess to marry. However, this time, Emperor Yuan of Han decided to choose a palace maid for him. The reason may be that the Han Dynasty was strong and the Huns were weak during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han, and there was no need to choose the daughter of the royal relatives. After all, there were not many daughters of the royal relatives, but there were many palace maids. Moreover, Huhanye Shanyu was in Chang'an at this time and asked the daughter of the clan relatives to pretend to be a princess. How could such a big thing be hidden from him?

"Zhaojun's out-of-bounds" is a major event in the exchanges between Han and Huns. The "Book of Han. Biography of the Huns" and "Book of Later Han. Biography of the Southern Huns" both record this incident, especially the records in "Book of Later Han" are vivid: "Zhaojun's name is Qian, and he was from Nanjun. At first, when Emperor Yuan was Emperor Yuan, he was selected to be a good son to enter the Yeting Court. At that time, Huhanye came to court, and the emperor ordered five palace maids to give it to him. Zhaojun entered the palace for several years but could not see the emperor, and he accumulated grief and complaints, so he asked the Yeting Order to seek action. Huhanye was about to leave the meeting and the emperor summoned five people.

The daughter showed it to him. Zhaojun was generous and beautiful. When the Han Palace was bright, Gu Jingfei returned and moved his side. The emperor was shocked and wanted to keep him, but it was difficult to break his promise. So he had two sons with the Xiongnu. When Huhanye died, the son of the Yan clan was established and wanted to marry him. Zhaojun wrote a letter to ask for his return. Emperor Cheng ordered him to follow the Hu Su, and then became the Later Shanyu Yan clan again. "In the article, Zhaojun automatically asked Emperor Xing and Emperor Yuan to be moved by Zhaojun's beauty, and the plot of the story of "willing to keep him" was very vivid, and Zhaojun's beauty was vivid on the paper.

Wang Zhaojun is just a palace maid, but she can become a symbol of marriage. I have to say that when the empire is strong, even if you marry a palace maid, those aliens dare to treat the palace maid carefully as a princess.

Of course, if the country wins weakly, even if the real princess is married, she is afraid that her status will not be much better than that of an ordinary slave.

Sometimes, marriages may even become political means for the court. For example, in the sixth year of Daye, the Shekui Khan of the Western Turks proposed to the Sui Dynasty. The Sui court believed that it was a good opportunity to split the Western Turks, so he sent someone to say to the envoy of the Shekui Khan: "Chuluo Khan (this guy is from the Western Turks, not the Eastern Turks) and was unwilling to surrender to the court, and the Shekui Khan was very good to the Sui Dynasty. If you can kill the Chuluo Khan, I will definitely marry you. So the Shekui Khan raised troops to attack the Chuluo Khan, and the Chuluo Khan was defeated. He abandoned his wife and son, led thousands of troops to flee to the east, and fled to the Sui Dynasty in December of the same year, and met Emperor Yang of Sui and was detained.

Later, Emperor Yang of Sui named him "Hosuna Khan", and in the tenth year of Daye, he named his royal family daughter "Princess Xinyi" and married him as his wife. Because Heosuna Khan was no longer the monarch of the Western Turks, this time it was not considered a standard marriage. In the 14th year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, and Heosuna Khan followed Yu Weng to Hebei. Yu Weng was about to be defeated, and Heosuna Khan fled to Chang'an, the capital of China.

I don't know what to do about this so-called Khan, so I only let him retain the name of Khan and throw it into a free position in the Ministry of Rites. As for his wife, the princess Xinyi's eyes were still flying with him.

Previously, a minister suggested that the girl be executed, saying that the royal blood of the previous dynasty could not be kept. And Hessan Khan cried and begged. In addition, I didn't think that a princess who had lost her backstage could have done anything earth-shaking, so she did not take action against Princess Xinyi, and let the couple both of them. I never thought that this young master's transmission made Hessan Khan and his wife very grateful.

At present, although he is arranged in a leisure place like the Ministry of Rites, he will always be invited to the General Staff and the Intelligence Bureau from time to time to explain the customs and feelings of the Western Turks, the composition of internal tribes, the entanglements and friendships between them. In short, over the past year, Hesona Khan, the former rival of the Shekui Khan, has become the best encyclopedia for us to understand the domestic situation of the Western Turks.

Okay, I'm off topic again, but I can't blame me for this. If you want to blame, Tang Jian blames such a lot of nonsense. Now, the Western Turks are here to propose marriage again, and I am the emperor. This issue will naturally be decided by me.

But the problem is that this young master does not want to act in such a humiliating friendship and kinship activity, and many civil and military ministers do not understand it. At least they think that using a woman to exchange for the surrender of the Western Turkic Khan is a business that will never lose money, so why not do it?

Not to mention the unwarranted civil officials, even the military officials agreed. The civil officials opened their mouths to be propriety, righteousness, benevolence, and the military officials opened their mouths to show the facts nakedly. In a word, it is very beneficial to us to temporarily make up the Western Turks. This is necessary and deserved.

Since ancient times, there have been tribes of marriage from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the previous dynasties. According to historical records, as early as the period of King Xiang of Zhou (651-619 BC), King Xiang wanted to attack Zheng, so he married Di's daughter as the queen and fought with Rongdi soldiers to attack Zheng. This was an early marriage incident clearly recorded in history.

Since then, marriage incidents have emerged one after another, of course, more often than not, to ease bilateral relations through marriage.

I heard that my temples were swelling on both sides. I looked left and right, but no one was standing in my direction to consider it, which was a headache. Even my wife disagreed and thought it was actually a good thing to find a woman who was willing to stand up and enthrone her as the princess, and marry the Western Turks.

Being able to ease the relationship with the Western Turks is very beneficial to the Western Regions exchanges between the Chinese Empire. Another problem is that since Jie Li Khan hated the Central Plains, and the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks wanted to eat and peel off each other alive. According to the saying that the enemy's enemy is our friend, it is a good thing for me to get married to the Western Turks.

I also admit that it makes sense, but it is really uncomfortable to ask me to give a woman to a foreigner, but it is impossible to convince all the ministers, it is a headache.
