Volume 1, Chapter 112: Become a godfather and marry his mother
What the hell?
When the scene of Choro Khan kneeling down and calling his godfather appeared, one could hear a pin drop in the entire court.
Everyone seemed to be petrified, feeling that this world was so unreal.
The Minister of Rites was even about to suffer from high blood pressure. His body went limp and he almost fell to the ground. The people next to him quickly helped him up.
The Minister of Rites is still confused.
"A godfather?"
"The Xiongnu actually recognized the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty as their godfather!"
“That’s totally unheard of.”
"I have lived for most of my life and have heard many strange stories from ancient times, but I never thought that there would be such absurd and bizarre things in the world."
The Minister of Rites murmured to himself, feeling that he had lived in vain for so many years.
The other civil officials also nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much with the Minister of Rites's statement, and sighed:
"Don't say you haven't seen it. We haven't seen it either. Even our ancestors haven't seen it either."
"We are fighting the Xiongnu to the death, and are on the verge of launching a war to destroy our country."
"As a result, the Khan of the Xiongnu came to us and acknowledged us as his godfather."
They didn't know what to say.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was also stunned with shock, his eyes bulging out like dead fish, and his brain had long since short-circuited.
Is this what makes Bai Qi so scary?
Making the Huns pay tribute was not Bai Qi's ultimate goal.
You can actually make the Huns recognize you as their father directly!
You are quite good at having fun!
Just as he was shocked by Bai Qi's terror, General Cao Changqiu swallowed hard, then said with surprise:
"Your Majesty, this is a great thing!"
"The Xiongnu signed an alliance with the Great Zhou, but they may regret it later."
"But the Khan of the Xiongnu has acknowledged Your Majesty as his godfather, so the Xiongnu are Your Majesty's godsons. If you go back on your word, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
"Even if it were the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Khan would have to endure the criticism."
"And once the Xiongnu accept your majesty as their godfather, he will definitely lose the support of many Xiongnu people."
"In the future, they will definitely be dependent on our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Even if he doesn't want to cooperate with us in the future, it's not up to him."
As soon as Cao Changqiu finished speaking, the civil officials nodded repeatedly.
They attach great importance to Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents and teachers.
Even among the Xiongnu, you still have to respect Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, your parents, and your teachers, because these are in your blood.
Although the Xiongnu's Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers did not have as much influence as the Central Plains dynasties, they still had some binding force.
"As the general said, once the Xiongnu Khan acknowledges the Great Zhou Emperor as his father, he will be controlled by the Great Zhou."
"And it will also lose the support of many Huns."
"If he wants to secure his position as Khan and become the overlord of the grassland, he must rely on the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty to subdue those tribes that refuse to obey."
"In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to extend its reach to the grasslands and have strong control over Choro Khan."
"This is much more effective than a piece of paper."
People on the grassland are very particular about bloodlines.
When they introduce themselves to others, they always say, I am the son of so-and-so, the darling of heaven, the bloodline of such-and-such tribe.
This is a primitive and backward tribe, a kind of hierarchy.
They use their blood and ancestors to demonstrate the nobility of their status and it is natural for them to obtain privileges.
To put it simply, it’s a competition of one’s father.
So, it’s not that easy to recognize my father.
This is to shake the legitimacy of Choro Khan's rule over the grassland!
At this moment, their eyes looking at Bai Qi were filled with deep awe!
Even though the civil and military officials were not in harmony, even though they felt that Bai Qi had committed too many murderous crimes and was unruly.
But no civil official doubted Bai Qi's ability.
Has anyone been as fierce as Bai Qi in thousands of years?
The Minister of Rites immediately spoke to the Emperor of the Great Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, this method is feasible!"
Several other ministers also came forward. Since the prime minister was not in the court at the moment, the ministers had the greatest power. They immediately seconded the proposal of the minister of rites.
Everyone thought that the method proposed by Bai Qi was simply brilliant.
Military generals also came out one after another.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials reached a consensus unprecedentedly.
After all, if they could make this happen, they would have a prominent place in the history books, and only a fool would be willing to go against it.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou swallowed hard. He felt like he was about to ascend to heaven, but Bai Qi was crediting him with one achievement after another.
He had no choice but to become an eternal sage.
Not only does the grassland have to submit, but it also has to recognize him as its father. Which emperor can do that?
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so excited that he wanted to go to the toilet, but he could hold it in. He looked at Choro Khan excitedly and shouted, "I will accept you as my godson."
"Thank you, Emperor Zhou. No, thank you, Godfather!"
At this moment, Choro Khan kowtowed heavily and sighed in his heart, thinking that his lifelong reputation was ruined today.
Now that he has acknowledged him as his godfather, he wants to make this relationship solid.
I have been so disgraced, how can I not gain some benefits?
Since he has decided to rely on the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must be the king on the grassland. I want to be a grandson here and be a grandfather when I return to the grassland!
So he kowtowed to the Emperor of Great Zhou and said, "Godfather, in order for the friendship between our two families to last forever, we need a marriage between our two families, which will make the relationship between Great Zhou and Xiongnu closer."
Marriage?
Although it was not a marriage alliance, it made all the ministers feel uncomfortable.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty also felt that the marriage was not a good idea. After all, he had married the princess because he was afraid that the Xiongnu would attack the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now he was the godfather of the Xiongnu Khan.
If he were to marry the princess, he would really become a grandson!
So the Great Zhou Emperor said: "Marriage is impossible. Although I have several daughters, it is not appropriate for them to marry you!"
He had originally wanted to marry his daughter to Choro Khan's father.
Doesn’t this mess up the generations?
This was very important in ancient times.
The other civil and military officials also nodded. If they still made peace with the Huns at this time, it would indeed be a lowering of their status.
Even a fool would not want to jump out and lick the Huns at this time, as this would make people poke their spine.
Choro Khan was confused. Why didn't he agree?
He asked curiously, "Godfather, did you misunderstand me? The marriage I mentioned does not mean that I want to marry the princess of the Great Zhou!"
He really didn't dare to marry the Princess of the Great Zhou, as a large part of his military strength now came from his own Rouge.
He is a gigolo.
If he married another woman, his rouge would not dry up and he might be in trouble.
Marrying the princess of the Great Zhou would do him all kinds of harm and no benefits. Only a fool would do that.
He thought the people in Da Zhou were too stupid.
Don't you have any other ideas besides marrying the princess?
The Great Zhou Emperor and others were puzzled. "If you don't marry the princess of the Great Zhou, how can you form a marriage alliance?"
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and really wanted to curse, "Are you mentally ill?"
He had to speak up, and said angrily:
"Why can't the Zhou emperor marry a Xiongnu woman when the Zhou and Xiongnu are getting married?"
"Does it have to be that the Khan of the Xiongnu must marry the princess of the Great Zhou?"
"Is it glorious to marry off your daughter?"
Bai Qi's angry curse made the Emperor of Zhou look gloomy.
It made the civil officials feel humiliated.
But think about it, why couldn't the Zhou marry a Xiongnu woman?
Why didn't they think so before?
Isn’t it because the Great Zhou couldn’t afford to offend the Huns before?
Now that they are stronger, of course the situation will be reversed.
Then the Minister of Rites stepped out and said, "General Bai Qi is right! Before, when we married, we married our daughters. This time, we must marry our daughters!"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt uncomfortable when he thought of finding a Xiongnu woman for himself.
To be honest, there are really few Xiongnu women who are prettier than the women of the Great Zhou. After all, Xiongnu women stay on the grasslands all year round, exposed to wind and sun.
That skin can't be compared with that of women in the Central Plains.
And if you eat beef and mutton often, your body will smell strong.
But after thinking about it, for the sake of the entire Zhou Dynasty, he reluctantly married one. At worst, he could just keep her in the deep palace and not favor her.
Then the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty coughed and said, "Chuluo Khan, which sister do you want to marry to me?"
All the civil and military officials looked at Choro Khan at this moment.
Chuluo Khan was confused. He asked strangely, "Why should I marry my sister to my godfather?"
This generation is too messy!
"If you don't marry your sister, who will you marry?" The Emperor of Zhou was also confused.
But the next moment, he was no longer confused.
I only heard Chuluo Khan say: "You are my godfather, of course I will marry my mother to you!"
Phew!
At this moment, the eunuch beside him couldn't help but laugh.
But when he saw the constipated face of the Emperor of Zhou, he quickly covered his mouth again to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
The civil officials around were even more stunned.
What the hell?
The Xiongnu's Choro Khan actually wanted to marry his own mother?
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.
Marrying his mother to his godfather seems like a good match.
The Minister of Rites and others twitched their lips and tried to suppress their laughter.
General Cao Changqiu held his stomach and almost sat on the ground laughing. He didn't care whether the Emperor of Zhou looked unhappy or not.
He even fanned the flames, saying, "I think this method is feasible. Your Majesty actually recognized Choro Khan as his godson and married his biological mother. This is only natural!"
After saying that, he sat down on the ground, laughing so hard that he almost got a stitch in the side.
The military commanders burst into laughter.
Some people laughed so hard that tears came out, and they just asked others to pat them on the back, otherwise they would die of laughter.
Chuluo Khan was speechless and said blankly: "Marry my mother, is this funny?"
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He stared at Bai Qi and cursed in his heart, thinking that this must be Bai Qi's bad idea!
I, the great Emperor of the Great Zhou, am actually going to marry a widow, and I don’t even know how old she is.
But he knew that a Hun widow would remarry immediately after her husband died.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was about to speak out in objection.
Bai Qi said quietly, "Your Majesty, this is related to the safety of the Great Zhou. Only by marrying Chuluo Khan's mother can you truly become Chuluo Khan's father."
"And with Choro Khan's mother as a hostage, we will be able to better control Choro Khan in the future."
"This can be regarded as a handle that Chuluo Khan has given you."
"Just obey me!"
Bai Qi smiled with ill intentions, making you think about beauties all day long. This time, he gives you a Hun beauty.
Damn it, Damn it!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt as if he was being dragged into a brothel to sell his body.
This Bai Qi is so abominable.
You asked me to marry a widow, and you're talking like it's for the country and the people.
He was about to object when the civil officials came out one after another and said:
"Your Majesty, please put your country first and marry Choro Khan's mother!"
"Your Majesty, this trip will definitely go down in history!"
"The people of the Great Zhou will surely be grateful to Your Majesty for his grace."
"Your Majesty, please obey!"
The civil officials were already delighted, some were even laughing secretly, but they still stood up one by one and put the Emperor of Zhou on the fire.
Letting you marry a Xiongnu woman is a bargain for you!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt like he was going crazy.
It turns out that being a godfather is not that easy.
It turns out that being a father is actually a very painful thing.
And these bastards are still talking about being a celebrity in history, which is simply a disgrace for eternity.
I, the great emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, married a widow, and a Hun widow at that. This is simply the most shameful thing that has ever happened to any emperor.
The most important thing is that he can't refute it now.
Because not only Bai Qi was forcing him, but all the civil and military officials were forcing him, as if if he did not marry the widow, he would be sorry for the Great Zhou, sorry for the people of the world, and sorry for all the common people.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll marry you!"
Choro Khan was delighted. His mother was worthless now anyway, as she had been taken away by his brother before. This time, by marrying her to the emperor of the Great Zhou, he could get the position of overlord of the grassland back for himself.
This is simply the utmost love and filial piety!
Chuluo Khan immediately kowtowed to the Great Zhou Emperor and said, "Thank you very much, godfather! I will definitely send my mother to marry you as soon as possible!"
"Maybe in the future, godfather can give birth to a younger brother for me."
Choro Khan thought to himself, if you and my mother had a second child, then our relationship would be even closer.
Damn it, Damn it!
The Emperor of Zhou almost vomited blood.
Not only do I marry your mother, but you even want me to give birth to a younger brother for you!
You might as well just kill me with a knife.
Don’t you have any idea what your mother looks like?
With your ugly face, your mother won't look good at all!
The Great Zhou Emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's do this. I feel very uncomfortable and I will leave the court!"
"As for the remaining matters, you should discuss with Bai Qi, General Cao Changqiu, and the six ministers, and don't bother me anymore."
After saying this, the Emperor of Zhou quickly retreated.
If he stayed any longer, he would really be so disgusted that he would vomit.
After returning to the bedroom, he scolded Bai Qi half to death. It was Bai Qi who came here just to disgust him.
Even if you want to arrange a marriage, you can at least let Choro Khan's sister marry me. Even if she is a widow, she is better than Choro Khan's mother.
Bai Qi, you are not worthy of being a human being.
After the Emperor of the Great Zhou left, the civil and military officials immediately pulled Choro Khan with a smile on their faces. The civil officials wanted to discuss matters concerning Choro Khan's submission and tribute.
We need to finalize this matter so that we can announce it to the world.
Bai Qi objected at the time and said coldly: "Before the war with the Xiongnu is over, we must ensure that the news is not leaked."
"If anyone dares to leak the news, he will be killed without mercy!"
The civil officials were furious when they heard this. Does this mean they have nothing to do with it?
If there is no ceremony of paying tribute, how can civil officials participate?
General Cao Changqiu stood up. He agreed with Bai Qi's approach. After looking around, he said coldly:
"This battle against the Xiongnu is related to the survival of the Great Zhou. I don't care what your positions are, whether you are military generals or not, but who dares to leak military secrets?"
"Then I will not only kill him, I will also exterminate his entire clan!"
The general's words made the civil officials break out in cold sweats.
The generals all agreed, and one even suggested: "It would be better to lock up all those who know the information together to prevent them from contacting the outside world."
When he said this, the civil officials' faces turned green.
How long will they be detained?
Will they remain imprisoned until the war with the Huns ends?
Bai Qi and Cao Changqiu looked at each other and nodded slightly, thinking this was a good idea.
So the general Cao Changqiu waved his hand and said, "Come here, seal off the hall, and detain everyone who has seen Choro Khan today."
"We can only contact the outside world after the war with the Xiongnu is over."
At his command, the guards in front of the palace came forward, and the civil officials cursed loudly and wanted to resist, but there was nothing they could do.
Because the current general Cao Changqiu doesn't care about them. If the Great Zhou Kingdom is destroyed this time, no one will survive.
General Cao Changqiu drew out the long sword of the guard in front of the palace and shouted angrily: "Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot!"
