Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 359 The Xiongnu Envoy Arrives, The Whole City Criticizes

Liu Yao's return caused ripples in the Huns, but they subsided quickly. After all, his return could not change the impact of Liu Yuan's death on the Huns.

On the contrary, there are several tribal leaders who want to hold Liu Yao responsible. They believe that Liu Yuan's accidental death is inseparable from Liu Yao, and they need to let him express his opinions.

This is undoubtedly part of the internal power struggle of the Xiongnu. It is a method used by several Xiongnu tribal leaders to put pressure on the new king. However, Liu Yao is not an easy target. He is a Xiongnu noble and represents some forces. Although At the beginning of his return, he was a little confused when it came to handling the situation, but he quickly regained his footing and began to counterattack.

Therefore, as Liu Yao returned to the Xiongnu King's City, the entire Xiongnu Han Kingdom fell into a new round of turmoil. At the same time, the Xiongnu Kingdom's envoy convoy had also arrived in Luoyang.

At this time, nearly a month had passed since Chen Zhi hosted a banquet and entertained and invited more than 60 people.

However, although a lot of time has passed, the news about what happened in Xunmei Tower that day is still circulating in the city, and it has also attracted many people around to gather towards the capital.

"This is Luoyang, the capital of the East. Compared with Guanzhong, it is indeed much more prosperous, especially the number of pedestrians on the street."

The speaker was a young Huns boy who looked to be no more than [-] years old, but judging from his clothes, he was ranked as a deputy envoy.

After the Xiongnu and Han envoys arrived in Luoyang, they were first received by Li Xu sent by Dahonglu, settled down in the Baibang Pavilion, and then couldn't wait to wander around the city.

Of course, if according to the etiquette, as the Huns of the lower state, they should wait respectfully in the Baibang Pavilion and wait for the emperor's summons. Before that, they are not allowed to move at will, let alone set foot in the city.

However, the Xiongnu envoys who came this time did not have the slightest sense of surrender, and there was a hint of arrogance in their words and deeds. After all, in their view, this battle between the Han and the Huns clearly meant that they had won a great victory. The officers and soldiers sent by the Han Dynasty were severely defeated. They came here this time not as an offering or an audience, but as victors to discuss the distribution of post-war benefits.

Therefore, after settling in, he immediately took the people to wander around Luoyang City, without even taking the guards arranged by Dahonglu's subordinate officials, saying that he could not rest assured that he could not compare with the warriors of his own country, so that Dian Ke was so angry. It's not easy.

But the Xiongnu people didn't care at all. They just came out and made comments as they walked without any scruples.

"When I first went to Guanzhong and Chang'an, I thought that there was nothing more prosperous in the world than Guanzhong. I didn't expect that the prosperity of Luoyang was even greater. It's really amazing. I'm afraid the wealth of this city is inferior to that of our ancestors of the Huns for generations. The accumulated treasures will be much more."

The young deputy envoy looked at the people coming and going, with greed and envy in his eyes.

"What a pity. I am only the king of the Xiongnu, not the king of the Han people. Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to take whatever I want from the wealth in the city and the beauties hidden in the boudoir?"

His voice was not loud, and only a few people around him heard it. Behind him, there was a tall man in his 40s or [-]s who curled his lips slightly. This man was very tall, with a strong back and broad shoulders. When he walked on the street, he attracted many people's attention. It seemed that after seeing this man's ferocious face, they all looked back.

Seeing this, the big man sneered and said with a hint of pride: "Hmph! Although the people of the Central Plains are rich, they are all timid. If we give a few hundred soldiers to a certain family to plunder the city, they will be able to return home with a full load! "

"Shi Le, stop talking nonsense!"

Suddenly, the man walking in front of them scolded them.

The person who spoke was exactly the envoy of this trip, he was completely dressed like a scholar-bureaucrat of the Han family, with a tall crown and a long beard, and he was somewhat of a celebrity, but when he was walking, he was always upright from time to time. I was afraid that my clothes would be askew, and I would look around from time to time, as if I was uneasy.

Such a team walking on the street, of course attracts people's attention, and sometimes someone will point it out, but the people of Luoyang are well-informed, not to mention the envoys of foreign countries, even the monarchs of small countries, they have seen it more than once In their opinion, the rulers of that state were not as elegant as the officials of the Han family. After Esau got rid of the envoy of the Huns and others, he went to do other things and didn't take it to heart.

However, some people also noticed this team, and that was the gentry children in Luoyang City.

These disciples are spread all over the city, and many of them look after themselves every day and are not engaged in production. They have a lot of free time, and sometimes they sit and discuss Taoism in taverns and teahouses.

Today, there were just a few people sitting in the wine shop, looking at the Hun envoys and talking in low voices.

"The Xiongnu envoy this time has some background. You look at the envoy and he looks like a scholar-official. In fact, he is also a Huns. His name is Jin Zhun. He was born as a Langguan. Liu Cong, the new chief of the Xiongnu, is also the son of this person. son in law."

"It turns out that he is Jin Zhun. I have also heard about this man. I heard that Liu Yuan originally wanted to pass the throne to a son named Liu He. It was because Liu He offended Jin Zhun and was slandered by this man. He repeatedly framed him, and finally lost his favor and took advantage of Liu Cong."

"Then do you know why Liu He turned against Jin Zhun?" "I don't know."

"But one of Jin Zhun's servants was evil and wanted to kill people. Liu He couldn't stand it. After saying a few words, Jin Zhun sent someone to give him a gift. However, Liu He didn't accept the gift and scolded him, so he was killed by Jin Zhun. He must have a grudge in his heart, and eventually do all kinds of evil, destroying Liu He's foundation."

As soon as this person said this, the others were speechless for a while. They really didn't expect that such a trivial matter could cause such a commotion. Even if it is a small country, the position of the crown prince is related to the country. If they are not careful, it will be In a turmoil, because of a quarrel between servants, the prince was framed and the successor of the king was changed. It was nothing short of child's play.

"Such a narrow-minded mind is so narrow-minded. If you just look at the sanctimonious nature of this person, you would never have imagined it."

One person gave a judgment.

Then, I saw those barbarians walking towards the wine shop.

This is normal. A wine shop that can attract many scholars to sit down will definitely not be simple. These Huns came out because they wanted to see the world, and of course they would not choose a small place.

After noticing the walking order of this group of people, another person in the store asked: "What is the origin of that foreign boy dressed as an envoy? At such an age, he can actually become an envoy's adjutant. It is incredible. Look. Then Jin Zhun's attitude towards him is vaguely respectful, could he be a Hun noble?"

The person who spoke first said, "Coincidentally, I also know something about this person. He is the King of Beihai of the Xiongnu Puppet Kingdom. His name is Liu Yi (yì), and he is the youngest son of Liu Yuan."

"Is he a Hun prince?"

Everyone was a little surprised, and then someone laughed.

"This is a little prince. Not long ago, Tai Leling killed a prince and made Liu Yuan so angry. This one comes to his door again. I don't know how much trouble he is going to cause."

"Yes, I heard that this time when the Huns envoys came over, they wanted to investigate and investigate Tai Leling's crimes. It happened that Tai Leling and several subordinate officials of Dahonglu were preparing together in the past few days. Follow the etiquette, there will be a good show when the time comes."

"A mere barbarian dared to accuse him. Not to mention that Tai Leling just happened to meet him. Even if he really had a deliberate plan and made Liu Yuan angry to death, he was still a meritorious person. If the court dares to reprimand us, we will have to write a letter to protest!"

"That's exactly what it is! Could it be that the Hu tribe thought that a lucky victory on the battlefield was a big deal? There was a change in the court, the return of Wuxiang Marquis, and chaos in the army. Otherwise, An could have been defeated like this? "

"Once this battle is defeated, we are already angry. We can't wait to go to the battlefield and serve our country with our own lives. It would be better if the Huns don't mention it. If we mention it, humph."

At the moment, several scholars became more and more angry as they talked, and some even tried to pull out their long swords - although this scholar's long sword was used for decoration and was flashy, it had also been unsealed and no one of low rank could wear it in Luoyang. It has to be at least mid-range.

If something really happened, it would be a mess, so among the colleagues, those who knew the serious relationship, quickly dissuaded them, changed the subject and said: "Talking about Tai Leling, his literary reviews are not going on these days, Can you guess which one is the final winner?"

As expected, these words had a miraculous effect. When I saw a few people who were still angry just now, the anger on their faces dissipated in an instant, replaced by a look of eagerness.

"Of course it's Zuoyue Academy!" One of them said without thinking, "Zuo Yue Zuyan has really made a splash these days. Starting from the initial review, his several articles are more profound than the last, and they also involve the study of arithmetic. , every word is exquisite, rigorous and error-free, truly a role model for our generation!"

Another person immediately retorted: "No, no, Wang Wenyuan, who is also good at the academy, is the first choice. He was born in a poor family, went through many obstacles and passed many tests before he could join a famous family. Didn't you see at the scene that Wang Wenyuan's old mother came to the scene? At the scene, he told the story of how he worked hard to study in his childhood. Those who heard it were sad, because they must let such diligent students win!" As he said this, this seven-foot man was about to cry!
But as soon as he finished speaking, another person shook his head and said: "Xunli from Shendu Academy should be the first. This article is for learning, so we should abandon all kinds of articles and only discuss articles. Xunjun grew up in a wealthy family and has been studying since childhood. He studied hard and was extremely talented. His articles were infinitely higher than those of others. If he was not ranked first because he came from a wealthy family, then what was the point of doing literary criticism? Besides, how many people criticize you? I always praise Mr. Xun, in my opinion, the number one name must belong to Shendu Academy."

Several people were talking, but there was a tendency to start arguing as if no one was watching. The person who initially changed the topic couldn't help but sigh, and sighed with a friend next to him: "After all, it was Chen Zhi's suggestion that led to this!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a slightly cold voice asked from beside him: "Chen Zhi? Tell me clearly, what happened to Chen Zhi?"

Several people looked around and saw that the person asking the question was none other than Liu Yi, the deputy envoy of the Huns and the young prince.

　Thanks to "brownspecter" and "Mo Xiao Hua Die Fei" for the reward!About the Xiongnu Han Dynasty, not the Huns Khanate.
