God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The investment far exceeds that of other countries, so naturally it has also attracted unique looks. However, for Lantu himself, such looks are not a problem, he has become accustomed to it.

Wherever he goes, he attracts everyone's attention. This is the treatment that people like him deserve.

"We have lost contact for a hundred years. It is fate that we meet now." Realizing the purpose of the other party's visit, Liu Tong naturally would not be overly polite. Instead, he tried his best to describe the current relationship between the two parties in a fair and calm manner.

An ally from a hundred years ago, an opponent today, an opponent who is destined to be beaten to death. Naturally, Liu Tong would not give the other party a good face because of this little gift.

Being able to be fair and just is already a reflection of a high level of self-discipline.

What's more, when Liu Tong thought about the fact that the Kushan Empire didn't even send him a letter, he seemed to understand the current attitude of the Kushan Empire from another perspective.

As for whether the person in front of him could represent the Kushan Empire, Liu Tong didn't care at all.

As an envoy of the empire, his words and actions naturally represent the empire. With such an identity, he naturally has such responsibilities.

As for whether he was wronged or not, Liu Tong didn't care at all.

Anyway, at that time it is just the difference between being ruthless and being gentle, which is also the difference between Liu Tong and Chen Xi, or in other words, the difference between "young people and middle-aged people".

"The Queen has a keen eye, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Sensing that the atmosphere was a little unusual, Lan Tu realized that he had achieved his goal, and then there was more respect in his words.

It’s not that he was afraid of the Han Empire’s momentum, but Lan Tu knew very well that if he wanted to achieve his goal of welcoming the princess of the Han Empire back, he could not completely offend the other party, otherwise how could the other party agree with his idea?

Even if they were more powerful than the Han Empire, the huge distance between them still made it beyond their power.

Therefore, we still have to take into account the feelings of the people of the Han Empire, give them some face, and restore our own face. That is enough.

The civil and military officials in the court looked at Lan Tu with somewhat different eyes.

The person's tone changed so quickly that it made people feel a little strange.

For many people who don't mind making trouble, they prefer Lantu's previous arrogant look.

If Lantu could remain the same as before, everyone present would not only not feel strange, but would be quite familiar with him.

Because to some extent, the attitude and behavior displayed by Lan Tu are actually quite similar to the attitude of the envoys of the Han Empire going to other countries. Although there are still many gaps, there is also a hint of charm.

It’s a pity that it didn’t last long, otherwise they would have been quite happy.

It’s not that everyone has a masochistic tendency, but if Lantu dares to do so, then everyone can remove many constraints and restrictions.

The reason why it is so difficult to deal with external affairs now does not come from our opponents, but from ourselves to a large extent.

Now that the lives of the people in the Han Empire are gradually getting better, if one wants the people to work spontaneously to help the people of these aristocratic families to expand their territory, it is not enough to just rely on some benefits.

The benefits are huge enough, and some people will indeed go there, but the benefits are so huge that for the aristocratic families, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, if possible, the aristocratic families still hope to borrow the country's political prestige and credit among the people to complete a lower-cost migration.

Even if this would mean owing favors to the country and carrying a lot of invisible constraints, it is better than not being able to implement it, right?

However, those who can serve as envoys are indeed not stupid. Everyone just thought about it and knew that the possibility of such a thing happening was not great. "I came to this place on behalf of my emperor, and naturally I have something to ask for..." After confirming that there was no problem, Lantu handed over another scroll and also explained the reason and request.

Although Lantu felt that using the word "request" was indeed a bit wrong, the first principle was to complete the task. He could just regard it as a temporary loss and find a chance to take it back later.

When the scroll was delivered to Liu Tong, it was skillfully opened by the servant, revealing the information contained therein.

Liu Tong, who thought it was a letter from the emperor, looked at the contents and instantly realized that it was another gift list. He was silent for a moment, then took another look at the orchid picture.

"I don't know what you're asking for?" Although Liu Tong knew what the other party was asking for, in this situation, he could only pretend that he didn't know, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

The Kushan Empire is indeed the Kushan Empire, and the Yuezhi is indeed the Yuezhi. Although the two are the same entity, the gap between them is still very obvious.

Being able to promise so many things as betrothal gifts, the Yuezhi were indeed much more sincere in treating the princess of the Han Empire than the Kushan Empire.

"What my emperor wants is naturally to use this gift as a betrothal gift, to welcome the princess of the Han Empire back to the country, and to treat her as his wife and empress." Suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, Lan Tu said the request as calmly as possible.

Although it is simple to say, it is not easy for Lantu to accept.

As one of the supporters of the forces behind the current Queen of the Kushan Empire, speaking out such information in person would be tantamount to stabbing himself in the back.

But this was an order from Vasudeva I, and even if Lantu did not understand it in his heart, he would carry it out.

Maybe there is a calculation hidden in it that he doesn't understand. If he destroys it rashly, not only will he fail to maintain his current power and status, but he will lose more.

Do your best to carry it out, and even if the queen is really replaced, her status and power will not be affected too much.

As for the victim, Lantu just reflected on it in his mind and then threw it out of his mind.

A woman, even if she is the empress of an empire, is just a relatively large political victim.

When it is the other person's turn to sacrifice, you naturally won't give the other person the opportunity to speak too much. In this way, the guilt in your heart will be much less.

"Just a princess? This is easy to solve!" Before Liu Tong could speak, Liu Xiu had already thought of a solution.

Over the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, there were more than a dozen princesses who participated in marriage alliances, which basically provided a solution.

Just find a palace maid who is willing to go, and then reward her with the title of princess, and then this princess can go.

Since the meeting gift is so generous, the betrothal gift must not be much less, or even more. Even if it is just some rare treasures, a palace maid can be exchanged for so much. Liu Xiu doesn't feel like he's losing out at all.

As for whether this was fooling the other party, Liu Xiu didn't care at all, nor did he believe that anyone else would care.

The Han Empire has been fooling outsiders for hundreds of years. Do they just need a few decades?

This is called the ancestral law which cannot be changed!

As for whether outsiders recognize it or not, it doesn’t matter at all.

For so many years, the country that had been able to have fair dialogue with the Han Empire has now had grass on its graves that can be used to graze sheep...
