Chapter 2890 The Empire Meets the Princess

...

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects.

There is no two kings in a country, and there is no two masters in the sky. For the people of the Han Empire, there is only one emperor in the world, and that is the emperor of the Han Empire.

Regardless of whether this idea is correct, the experience and history passed down over hundreds of years is also a huge ideological imprint that cannot be easily gotten rid of.

So even though the Kushan Empire was an empire with its own emperor, its own national system and its own people, there were still some discomfort and unfamiliarity among the people in the court.

When the name "Da Yuezhi" was uttered, the expressions of many people present looked much better, and they also had a better understanding of the force to which Lantu belonged.

During the hundreds of years of history of the Han Empire, the frequency of the appearance of the Great Yuezhi was not low. As civil and military officials in the court, those present represented the core hub of the Han Empire and naturally had a certain degree of understanding of such matters.

Whether it is the invitation in the past or the war today, it means changes in the relationship between the two sides and a completely different diplomatic environment.

As the Han Empire, it is natural to show the demeanor of a great power. Even if the relationship between the two sides is not very good now, it will not treat the other side unfairly in terms of etiquette.

In this situation, if you try to intimidate the other party, you are not slapping their face, but your own face.

Therefore, when Lan Tu walked into the Weiyang Palace, although he endured a lot of gazes, there were almost no gazes of hostility and hatred. Instead, there was a sense of curiosity and calmness.

After taking a look at the people around him and the soldiers standing around with weapons, Lantu's eyes flashed with disdain, and then he took a firm step forward.

A group of people acting as ceremonial soldiers. Although their strength is not bad, they are far inferior to him and do not need any attention at all.

In such an important place, he actually carried weapons for guarding. Did he not believe in his own abilities, or did he not believe in the ministers present?
If he were in a high position, he would certainly get rid of such soldiers to demonstrate his confidence and courage, which would also show his trust and control over the officials.

From this perspective, the monarchs of the Han Empire were really incompetent.

Lan Tu, who was evaluating everyone in his heart, gradually finding fault with them and then belittling them, finally stepped into the Weiyang Palace, withdrew his gaze from his surroundings, and looked up at Liu Tong who was sitting on the dragon throne.

After seeing Liu Tong, Lan Tu finally understood why he had seen all this.

A woman became the monarch of a country. No wonder the Han Empire became what it is now.

Originally, he thought that the descriptions of those old men were all jokes, but after actually seeing the person, Lan Tu said that it was difficult for him to understand and he couldn't help but think deeply about it.

This matter was proposed by Vasudeva I, Zhuhelai helped to plan and arrange it, and then let them implement it.

They dispatched such a large number of people as the envoy team, and even gave a death order to complete it. Is it really as simple as asking for the princess' hand in marriage?
Lan Tu, who already had this doubt in his mind, thought for a short while after seeing Liu Tong and thought that he had guessed Zhu Helai's thoughts and strategies.

Since princesses in the Han Empire could hold high positions and possess the power to rule the empire, when they asked to marry the princesses, they were actually trying to gain a share of the power that belonged to the Han Empire.

It can be said that as long as they could get the princess, they would have many reasons, including the reason to continue the war against the Han Empire.

Thinking of this, Lan Tu felt that he should still endure and give priority to completing Zhu Helai's strategic planning and deployment for the country.

The soldiers of the Han Empire were no match for the trash Brahmans, and naturally they would not be able to crush the Brahmans. Such a rich place was naturally a very good target for plunder. When the time came, they would beat the Han Empire, just like they beat the Brahmans. They would be able to obtain a steady stream of harvests and contributions every year. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Liu Tong, who was being stared at by Lan Tu, couldn't help but frowned as he looked at Lan Tu.

Lan Tu was indeed very handsome, and there was really no psychological pressure when looking at him, let alone any thoughts of resistance.

But what was shown at the moment was that Lan Tu had been staring at her. Even from his somewhat distracted eyes, Liu Tong knew that he was thinking.

However, in this kind of eye contact, not everyone can see Lantu's divergent eyes and understand the meaning behind them.

As for the current phenomenon, it is as if Lan Tu and Liu Tong are staring at each other in silence for a long time.

This is not a good thing for Liu Tong, especially since he is still single. If some unexpected situations occur, all kinds of rumors may arise.

Even if it was just a possibility, Liu Tong didn't want this to happen.

After all, once rumors spread on a large scale, it is very difficult to prove one's innocence and completely eliminate the rumors.

Unless the other party is killed directly and openly, some of the rumors can be curbed, but only some.

Liu Tong, who is quite experienced in this area, is well aware of the troubles of this kind of thing.

Just like the manuscripts of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are wandering around the whole Chang'an, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have not been able to kill them all so far, you can see how troublesome this matter is.

With a light sigh, Liu Tong could only signal Yang Wan with his eyes, and Yang Wan reminded Lan Tu.

After all, it is a meeting with foreign envoys, and the proper procedures must be maintained. If the envoy does not speak, the king will not reply.

Yang Wan, who got the hint, just raised her foot and was about to take a step forward to ask.

"Lantu-Kanishka, the envoy of the Kushan Empire, meets with the Princess of the Han Empire..." Having made sufficient preparations in his heart and having thought it through, Lantu directly introduced himself and greeted them.

However, when these words were spoken, many people present frowned, then looked at Lan Tu, looked at the other party's appearance and posture, and turned to look at Liu Ye thoughtfully.

Liu Ye, who was being watched, felt that he was being wronged, and at the same time, he felt a little uneasy.

Is there something wrong with the other person's speech? Of course there is!
Calling himself an imperial envoy, whether it was self-praise or other factors, was not a big problem in essence, but the title for Liu Tong was a very big problem.

Who is the empire? Who is the emperor? Is there another emperor in the world?

As for why it is related to Liu Ye, it is because the etiquette and related standards for the meetings of these envoy teams were all handled by Liu Ye.

Now that this situation has occurred, it is naturally because he did not handle it well, which is why the envoy did not know the etiquette...
