Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor
Chapter 233 Paying tribute and getting married
Prince Ning Qing saw all this and sneered in his heart. He knew that his father in front of him was completely controlled by him. The few Taoist priests he hired at the beginning really worked.
"Father, the Huns launched a ferocious attack on Dakang a few days ago and almost broke through the northwest defense line. Fortunately, I arrived in time and led the army to kill the Huns to pieces."
Prince Ning Qing lied without batting an eye.
He directly applied Ning Fan's achievements to himself and said that he was wise and mighty.
"Okay, great. My son is mighty. He is indeed my son. Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Will the Huns come back?"
Emperor Tian'an asked in a daze.
In fact, he had asked this question before, and Ning Qing had also answered it. However, Emperor Tian'an's memory was very poor and he could no longer remember many things. He forgot the things he asked before.
"Father, it is only a matter of time before the Huns come back, and now I am thinking of a way, that is to find a stopgap measure, and temporarily make peace with the Huns. As long as we agree to the peace, the Huns will be stabilized and give me great prosperity. In ten years of development, I will personally lead the troops to wipe out all the Huns."
Prince Ning Qingtian said shamelessly, of course he only proposed marriage and did not propose the issue of annual tribute.
Some things are rooted in the blood. Even though Emperor Tian'an had been taking heavy metals for a long time and his brain had been severely poisoned, he still became furious and turned livid when he heard the word "marriage".
But even if he was angry, he couldn't remember why he was angry. After all, he was just relying on his body's instinct to judge and react. In fact, what he just struggled with was quickly forgotten.
The memory of a fish is only about six seconds, and the memory of the emperor Dakang is even less than one second. As soon as he finished speaking, he forgot what he said.
Seeing that his father's condition had worsened, Prince Ning Qing could hardly hide the smile in his eyes. As long as Emperor Tian'an died, the throne would be his.
He is now looking forward to this happening every day, hoping that his father, Emperor Tian'an, will return to the West as soon as possible and that he can sit in the Golden Palace of his dreams.
The marriage policy was not troublesome at all. Prince Ning Qing came to the dragon table, took the emperor's imperial pen and began to write the imperial edict, and even finally stamped it with a jade seal. No one stopped this series of actions, not even Emperor Tian'an. A confused look on his face.
After receiving the imperial edict, Prince Ning Qing happily returned to the East Palace with the imperial edict.
In the evening, when Yan Wudao saw the imperial edict in the hands of Prince Ning Qing, he was immediately overjoyed. With this edict, it would be easy to handle even General Xiao Chong's objections.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed in Kyoto, and the special envoy sent by Prince Ning Qing to the Huns also came to the Huns king's tent with Xiao Lingxi's portrait.
"Your Highness the Khan of the Hun, Your Excellency the King of the Hun, I am an envoy of His Highness the Prince of Dakang."
The envoy paid homage to the King of the Huns respectfully, and the way he knelt on the ground made all the princes and generals of the Huns laugh.
"Messengers of Dakang, what are you going to do? Do you want to negotiate with us Huns?"
The King of the Huns was sitting on a tiger-skin mattress, drinking fragrant kumiss and enjoying singing and dancing.
Even when he answered the special envoy's questions, he seemed so nonchalant, as if he didn't take this envoy from Dakang seriously at all.
"Your Excellency, King of the Huns, our prince of Dakang wants to make peace with the Huns forever and become royal relatives! I also hope that there will be no more wars between our Dakang and Xiongnu families, and no more innocent people will die."
The envoy took out the portrait and placed it respectfully in front of the Hun King.
The Hun King was careless at first, but when he saw the painting on the table out of the corner of his eye, he was suddenly startled, as if there was an electric current running through his body from head to toe.
Although the woman in the painting has only a few strokes, she outlines the cold temperament and intellectual beauty. This kind of beauty is not as beautiful as the fairy in the dream, so almost all of the Hun King's heart was taken away.
"Do you, Dakang, really want to marry us Huns? Is the woman in the portrait a princess of the Dakang royal family?"
For the first time, the King of the Huns expressed concern about this matter, and looked at the envoy expectantly.
"Your Excellency, King of the Hun, this is not the princess of Dakang, but the daughter of General Xiao Chong. This daughter is very talented and beautiful. If the King of the Hun agrees, my Dakang will soon send a marriage team. And brought a large dowry.”
The envoy's words were very explicit, and the King of the Huns could naturally hear them clearly. This was Dakang's show of goodwill to him, and it was a signal to suspend the war.
The King of the Huns was a talented man with great ambitions throughout his life. He could naturally see that Dakang just wanted to ease the situation, and the two sides sat down to talk.
In fact, the situation of the Huns at this time was also very bad. Last time, Huang Chao's 50,000 troops almost brought disaster to the rear of the Huns. After the large army of the Huns came back, they saw the mess all over the ground. Many Huns All the soldiers collapsed.
In other words, for at least a year, the Huns will not be able to organize an effective invasion operation, and spring is about to begin. By then, cattle and sheep will give birth to calves, and the men on the grassland will have no time to fight.
"Actually, we Huns do not necessarily want to invade Dakang, but we Huns live too hard on the grassland."
"We can't afford your tea, silk, salt, and various iron tools from Dakang, so we have no choice but to launch a war. If Dakang can provide us with enough of these materials every year, we Xiongnu People will naturally do nothing wrong."
The Hun King changed his usual cold and hard attitude, and now there was a faint smile on his face.
The king of the grassland planned everything carefully, and the promise to the core of Dakang this time was also a matter of smooth flow. When the autumn comes, when the horses are fat and healthy, they will of course invade again with strong troops and horses.
And don’t give away the beauties, silk, tea and other things for free. The Hun King is not a fool.
When the envoy heard what the Hun King said, he mistakenly thought that the Hun King had agreed to his request. He showed a satisfied look on his face and left with satisfaction.
A few days later, the news came back to Kyoto. The prince was overjoyed when he heard the news, and even danced for joy. He did not expect that the Huns, a serious concern, could be easily resolved by himself.
"Judging from previous experience, a marriage can guarantee peace for at least fifty years. That means that this prince has solved Dakang's most serious problems with one hand. Hahahaha, this is truly a miracle through the ages."
The prince himself danced with joy and was overjoyed.
