God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Under the escort of Li Huan and others, Helilah successfully arrived in Yeping Kingdom.

Having been notified in advance, the arrival of Helilah and his group was warmly welcomed by the upper echelons of Yeping Kingdom.

The king personally went out of the city to greet Lady Ye, demonstrating courtesy and respect.

What Hlilah's previous identity and status were are completely unimportant and do not need to be important. It is enough to know that the current Hlilah is the person entrusted by the Han Empire.

Previously, the Han Empire did not send anyone to Ye Pingguo. The ruler of the country investigated the entire Ye family's living conditions, and they lived in constant fear.

It wasn't that he had any masochistic tendencies and wanted the Han Empire to supervise him; rather, the ruler of the state, Pingdiao Ye, truly understood the reasons behind it by consulting historical records and systems, and was following the relevant historical records and systems.

On the one hand, he designated his eldest son as his heir, and then immediately sent him to Chang'an to study. In the words of historical records, this was called proper learning and broadening one's horizons, so that the country could become better.

On the other hand, the gifts and tributes for the annual Han Dynasty court assembly had to be delivered on time and in sufficient quantity. They could be delivered a little earlier, but absolutely not late.

It can be said that what the ruler of the country, who had gone to such lengths to transfer the Ye clan, hoped for was a response from the Han Empire.

The only positive feedback from the Han Empire was used to supervise and inspect the envoys of its vassal states, namely, the Han Empire's envoys.

Of course, due to the renowned reputation of the Han Empire's envoys, King Pingdiao Ye harbored both worries and some expectations.

What they worried about was whether the Han Empire's envoy would die mysteriously in Yeping, and what they hoped for was whether the Han Empire's envoy would be able to recognize Yeping.

Although the emperor was far away and the country was far from the capital, the king had no other intentions in transferring the Ye family to a new residence.

Even though the Han Empire had recently suffered a major defeat, reportedly with heavy losses, the Ye family remained unmoved.

They wholeheartedly supported the Han Empire's army, and did their utmost to help coordinate food supplies, transport materials, and transfer the wounded.

The fact that the Ye clan, who were doing this work without giving any orders, even attracted the hostility of some other vassal states.

The Han Empire did not issue any orders, so they could do it or not.

In this situation, if everyone tacitly agrees that neither of us will do it, then the matter will be over, right?
As a result, the Ye family, following the established rules and regulations, personally took charge and devoted themselves to this task. How did the other vassal states view this?
Quit?

Are you kidding me?
Without a notification, the Han Empire might not remember which country did such a thing, but it would certainly remember which country did not. What if that attracted the Han Empire's envoys?
If some vassal states did have other ideas in the period immediately following the defeat of the Han Empire's army, those ideas vanished when Guan Yu's army arrived.

Following the defeat of the Han Empire's army, an even more elite and larger Han Empire arrived on the battlefield.

Under these circumstances, no matter how much resentment they harbored, these vassal states could only swallow their anger and curse the Pingtuo Ye clan while working diligently.

As for cursing the Han Empire, people aren't stupid, and they haven't lived long enough, so naturally they wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

Who knows if the Han Empire will be able to hear them?

What if they heard that? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Even if the Han Empire couldn't defeat the Kushan Empire, could it not defeat them?
The Ye family, however, did not have so many ideas. They simply followed what was written in historical records. They did whatever was written in the records.

As for the reason.

The fact that this system of texts has been passed down proves that the person who wrote it is definitely not dead. Learning from past mistakes, the Pingdiao Ye family didn't have high expectations and just muddled along.

Therefore, after the ancient texts specified the methods for treating envoys of the Han Empire, Pingdiao Ye followed suit and went through the established etiquette.

Meeting the envoy of the Han Empire was like meeting the emperor of the Han Empire. As the ruler of the country, he could lead his officials out of the city to greet him and treat him with courtesy without any problem.

"Is this the ceremony to welcome us? Is this the vassal state of the Han Empire?" Helilah glanced at the crowd in front of the city gate and fell silent.

Ye Shi, along with his officials, stood respectfully in the middle of the road, waiting.

The soldiers on both sides of the road, though not particularly imposing, all tried their best to stand tall and maintain their so-called ceremonial bearing.

With his keen eyesight, Hrilah realized that these soldiers were indeed capable of fighting.

These soldiers might not be so special in an empire, but in a small country like this, they would definitely be considered the most elite and reliable troops.

Even the vast majority of small countries don't even have soldiers who can be called soldiers, let alone soldiers capable of fighting.

Within the Kushan Empire, without exception, only Brahmins could possibly, and would be permitted to, possess such an army.

The Han Empire's practice of allowing these people to exist was tantamount to allowing another kind of Brahmin to exist.

Realizing this, Hrithalah turned to look at Li Huan, a hint of incomprehension flashing in his eyes.

If the Han Empire could allow the existence of these people, why couldn't it allow the existence of Brahmins?

Is there really such a big difference between the two?

They are all powerful and wealthy, all in positions of authority, and all rulers, so where does the difference lie?

Is it an attitude and will of loyalty?

Harboring his misunderstanding, Helilah slowly walked towards Pingdiao Ye Shi and the others.

The respect that the Ye family showed him was no different from the respect that others in the Kushan Empire showed him.

Looking at the indifferent expression of the Han Empire's envoy, Helilah, Pingdiao Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

This envoy from the Han Empire shouldn't be here to cause trouble, right?

I hope not.

Thinking of this, Ye Shi, who was being transferred to a different post, glanced back at the officials in the country and looked at the powerful and wealthy class of the nation.

After noticing Hrithal's expression, these members of the elite class distanced themselves slightly from the Ye family.

If all goes well, the Ye family will become the rulers of Yeping Kingdom; if things go wrong, they can withdraw and support the next ruler the envoy suggested.

Anyway, everyone has figured out a bit about how to deal with the envoys from the Han Empire.

There was an envoy from the Han Empire, and the envoy of the Han Empire was the king himself. As for the original king, who cared? Who cared? (End of Chapter)
