Everyone in Wan Chao was silent.
Zhou Jia continued, "So, among the princesses we sent out to marry, some were lucky enough to return to their hometowns after marrying their first husbands. The unfortunate ones had no way to return to their homeland. Even if they wanted to return to their hometowns, they could only follow the customs of the Xiongnu and continue to marry.
After marrying into the Xiongnu, Huhanye Chanyu named Wang Zhaojun Ninghu Yanshi. Let me explain here: Chanyu is the leader of the Xiongnu people, and his status in their community is equivalent to that of the monarch. Yanshi is not what we usually call rouge and powder. This word is written like this.
She displayed the two characters "Yanshi" on the screen and continued:
"Yanshi is a general term for the wives and concubines of the Chanyu. Zhaojun was given the title Ninghu Yanshi, which means she was expected to bring peace to both the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. In fact, Huhanye treated Zhaojun well and the two had a son. However, their relationship did not last long. In 31 BC, Huhanye died."
When Zhou Jia said this, Zhaojun, who had just arrived in Xiongnu to meet Huhanye, and Huhanye himself were both stunned. They did not expect that Huhanye (himself) would have such a short life and died in just three years.
Huhanye looked at Zhaojun, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Princess, you have come a long way. I have prepared a place for you to stay. You can go and rest first."
Wang Zhaojun also knew that he needed some time to accept his death, and she also needed to think carefully about her future.
The two of them stood up at the same time in tacit understanding.
One sends, the other leaves.
In the dimension where Huhanye had already passed away, Wang Zhaojun looked at Zhou Jia and saw her heavy face. She guessed that her request to return to Han was rejected, and she had to stay in the land of the Xiongnu.
"Now that Huhanye is dead, what will become of Wang Zhaojun, the man who came to marry the Han emperor? Will she follow the Xiongnu custom of marrying the mother after the father's death, or will she have fulfilled her mission and can return to Han? Wang Zhaojun once expressed her desire to return to Han to Emperor Cheng of Han, Liu Ao. Can you guess what Liu Ao's final response was?"
People after Liu Ao naturally knew what Liu Ao’s response was. People before Liu Ao all heard from Zhou Jia’s tone that the result might not be satisfactory.
Qin
"Although she is dead, she is still a princess married to a foreign country. The answer given to her is naturally to let her follow the so-called barbarian customs."
Ying Zheng looked at his daughters beside him.
Ever since Zhou Jia instigated the children to get close to him, these little ones were indeed not as afraid of him as before, and became much closer to him. At the same time, they also did not forget to find things to do within their abilities, just to prove that women could do what men could do, and were no worse than men.
Ying Zheng himself was also happy to see this happen. He was not like the emperors who came later. For him, it didn't matter whether the person was a man or a woman, as long as they were capable of working for him, nothing else mattered.
As a result, I really discovered these days that his children all have their own strengths, but they are still not qualified to inherit the position.
The younger ones are now studying hard every day, and when they achieve a little success they come to him to explain their situation and ask for his praise. Just now, it was these younger ones who came to him to compete for his favor, vying to report their learning achievements. The story of Zhaojun made them feel very uncomfortable.
The older ones were worried about their future. They were also women, and the Qin Dynasty was not stable. Would they be sent out to marry like Zhaojun? If it was a marriage, it would be fine, but they could not accept this custom.
The younger one didn't understand what marriage meant, nor did he understand any other twists and turns. He only knew that the sister Zhou Jia was talking about had left her parents and home, so he hugged his father's legs, smiled sweetly and said, "Father, no matter where I go, I will definitely come back to you. I love you the most and will never leave you."
Liu Ji looked at Ying Zheng, who was surrounded by his children and whose expression had obviously softened, and suddenly understood what Zhou Jia meant when she said that Ying Zheng seemed cold and strict but was actually gentle and innocent.
What a strange person, how can one person be so contradictory?
Liu Ji would occasionally steal a glance at Ying Zheng at the top.
Ying Zheng felt amused and helpless when his children confessed their love to him.
These young ones didn't learn anything else but Zhou Jia's frank expressions of affection. These days, he could be said to have received confessions from his own children and ministers every once in a while, which really tested his mentality.
If he were a little more thin-skinned, he probably wouldn't be able to look directly at the fanatical gazes below.
Ying Zheng bent down and held the little girl in his arms. He hummed lightly, patted her back, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid. The Qin Dynasty does not have any marriage alliances, nor does it need them."
Most of his daughters were married to his trusted ministers. As long as he was around, he could protect his children.
At this moment, he inevitably thought of Hu Hai, whom he had deposed. Because of him, these little ones could not survive. He suppressed his anger, put down the little one in his hand, and said, "Go and do your work."
The younger ones didn't disturb him and immediately left.
Wang Jian and others were also furious. Although Zhaojun was a girl from later generations, if the time were changed to the present, they would not be able to accept this so-called marriage alliance. If they wiped out the Huns in one fell swoop, people in later generations would not have to marry into the Huns and follow their customs.
They will never marry the daughters of the Great Qin!
"Your Majesty, I beg for battle!"
Meng Tian was the first to stand up.
Zhou Jia usually talked the most with Ying Zheng, followed by Meng Tian.
Meng Tian also learned from Zhou Jia in advance that he had defended the Great Wall against the Huns. This time, he did not want to resist, but to annihilate them completely! He wanted the Huns to belong to the Qin Dynasty, and he wanted all the land in the world to belong to the Qin Dynasty!
