Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?
Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...
Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang and said, "That's good. It will save you from worrying that he will attack the Great Wusun again."
Huo Guang did not believe that Lu Xuan could really give up the Great Wusun completely. I think other people in Chang'an also thought so. So even if they supported Danyang to take the throne in the future, they would still be wary of Lu Xuan.
Liu Tan knew very well that all feelings would be exhausted in suspicion, but this suspicion could not be eliminated with just a few words.
The Han Dynasty felt that it would be safer if the Great Wusun was under the control of Danyang, and the King of Wusun eventually surrendered.
Seeing Liu Tan pull out a piece of letter paper and about to write to Lu Xuan, Huo Guang couldn't help but hold Liu Tan's hand and said, "Your Highness, let me do it."
Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang in confusion: "Huh?"
Huo Guang withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes, saying, "I will write a letter to the King of Wusun. This way, even if he is displeased, he will only target me."
After hearing this, Liu Tan thought for a moment before realizing that Huo Guang was probably worried that this letter would make Lu Xuan unhappy, and even affect their relationship.
He smiled and said, "I'm different from you."
Huo Guang looked up at Liu Tan, who said seriously, "I believe everything he says."
Because he believed in it, he knew that Lu Xuan would not have any thoughts after reading the letter, and he might even help Danyang because of his relationship with Liu Tan.
Huo Guang's throat moved but he said nothing more. He watched Liu Tan recount the events in Danyang and wrote his request at the end. This was almost the end of the letter.
Liu Tan put the letter aside and looked up at Huo Guang.
Huo Guang met his gaze with a puzzled look, so Liu Tan said seriously, "Now I'm going to have a heartfelt talk with Ah Xuan."
Do you also want to read letters between lovers?
Huo Guang was a little slow to understand what he meant, and stood up to say goodbye with an expressionless face.
As he saluted, Liu Tan lifted his chin and looked up at him and said, "A Guang, you've been single for so long, don't you want to find a companion who understands you?"
For a man like Huo Guang, love probably doesn't exist. His brain is always rational. Liu Tan finds it hard to imagine Huo Guang being overwhelmed by emotions.
Huo Guang probably never expected to receive a call for marriage from the King of the Northern Territory. He said lightly, "I have people around me who will take care of me."
Liu Tan didn't say anything else. He just wanted to tease Huo Guang. As for urging him to get married... Huo Guang was about to turn thirty, and he must know very well what he wanted.
After receiving Liu Tan's letter, Lu Xuan felt just as Liu Tan had expected. He was not angry nor did he feel that Liu Tan was forcing him to make a choice.
Instead, after reading the letter, he happily said, "God helps me."
Dai Xiumi was following Lu Xuan with his head down. He had just been scolded by his brother for not learning Chinese characters well. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look up at his brother.
Then he discovered that the King of Wusun, who had just had a face like a living devil, now had a gentle smile on his face.
He rolled his eyes and thought to himself, the King of the North is really my lucky star.
Since the King of the North wrote to him, his brother would definitely write a reply, so he wouldn't have to be scolded by his brother anymore.
Hey, he is married after all, he is an adult, why does he still need to study?
Dai Xiumi was thinking about it while planning to take the opportunity to sneak away. However, as soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his head. He covered his head and looked up to see his brother looking at him expressionlessly: "Where do you want to go?"
Dai Xiumi smiled apologetically, "I just... didn't want to interrupt my brother's correspondence with His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory."
Lu Xuan snorted, "The King of the Northern Territory is about your age. Look at him, then look at you."
Dai Xiumi felt a little aggrieved after hearing this and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory is naturally intelligent and has the demeanor of a saint. How can I compare to him?"
Lu Xuan glanced at him after hearing this and said, "You speak Chinese quite well. It's not in vain that I learned it."
Dai Xiumi suddenly had an idea: his brother likes to hear others praise the King of the North!
Dai Xiumi was naturally sweet-talking. He surrounded Lu Xuan and praised Liu Tan a lot, concluding with, "Thankfully, my brother is so capable that he was able to attract His Highness's favor, which is why His Highness is helping us so much."
Lu Xuan looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Well, Tan has helped us a lot, now it's our turn to help him."
Dai Xiumi asked, "How can I help?"
"The princess of the Han Dynasty married Junxumi. Now she is pregnant and wants to kill Junxumi to control that part of the power. We should help her."
Dai Xiumi frowned: "This is very troublesome."
"With Princess Danyang working with us, it's not particularly troublesome."
Dai Xiumi said in confusion, "But since we can kill Junxumi, why should we help Princess Danyang take power? Wouldn't it be better to seize it and make it ours? We can also spare Princess Danyang's life and send her back to the Han Dynasty."
In Dai Xiumi's opinion, what they did was already very good.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly. Just as Dai Xiumi was wondering where he had said it wrong, Lu Xuan suddenly said, "Double your homework today."
Dai Xiumi paused for a moment, then let out a sharp scream. He threw himself on Lu Xuan and hugged him, crying, "Brother, I was wrong. I won't say anything nonsense next time. Whatever you say is what I mean. Woohoo! I haven't been with Yu for several days. If you keep going on like this, you'll be left without a sister-in-law."
Lu Xuan pushed Dai Xiumi down with disdain, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave. Before he left, he said, "If you want to gain, you have to pay. Besides, it's not a good thing for us to be too popular in the Western Regions."
Dai Xiumi lay on the desk and thought for a while before he realized what his brother meant. Maybe it was that they needed an opponent in the Western Regions in order to maintain balance.
Oh, if only they had the power of the Xiongnu. With his brother's ability, he would definitely be able to occupy the entire Western Regions.
Dai Xiumi thought about this while copying the book with a wronged look on his face.
On the other side, Princess Danyang had not yet received her brother's letter, but had first met the messenger sent by Lu Xuan.
After communicating with the envoy, Princess Danyang found that all her previous plans were too simple and crude. Like Liu Tan, she just wanted to kill anyone who did not cooperate.
She had also considered that this would cause a large-scale backlash among the Wusun people, but she had soldiers at her disposal and was not afraid of a real fight with the Wusun people, so Princess Danyang also included an armed coup in her plan.
However, compared to Lu Xuan's plan, her plan was not only simple and crude, but also full of loopholes.
After reading the letter Lu Xuan had written to her, Danyang looked at the young man beside her blankly and said, "King Wusun, is he really not Han Chinese?"
Isn't this strategy of forming alliances and making coalitions really well played?
Lu Xuan's plan was also very simple, which was to win over and divide people through interests. Although the gender of the child in Danyang's belly was not determined, the marriage could be arranged first. Anyway, people who were worthy of Princess Danyang's winning over must be from big families.
In places like Wusun, where the hierarchy is even stricter, there is basically no possibility of turning things around, so there are always people of the right age and gender in the big clans.
If Danyang wants to take power herself, she can just choose another husband. Of course, this husband must be related to Junxumi by blood, preferably his cousin or something.
Just set up a puppet like this.
Lu Xuan gave Princess Danyang a lot of advice in one breath and also promised to help.
When Lu Xuan's father left, he left behind some confidants. At that time, his father planned to come back sooner or later.
And now it just happens that they can help Princess Danyang and assist her in taking power. It will be up to them whether to leave or stay afterwards.
The young man's expression was hard to describe. "No wonder the little Wusun has reached this point in just a few years. Fortunately, he is not an enemy."
If there was such an enemy nearby, he and Danyang would not have to struggle anymore and should ask for help from the Han as soon as possible!
Princess Danyang agreed: "Yes, but it's good too. This will save us a lot of effort."
The young man looked at Princess Danyang tenderly and apologetically, saying, "It's my fault that I'm useless and have made you work so hard at this time."
Princess Danyang waved her hand and said, "This plan has been in place for a long time, it's just brought forward. Well, I'll write a letter to my brother!"
When Princess Danyang's letter arrived in Shuofang City, Liu Tan was not in the royal city, but ran to the subordinate county to watch the first dam release water.
