You can live without love, but family and friendship are definitely everyone's most precious wealth.
In the dimension where Xu Pingjun was dead, Liu Xun's eyes turned red when he heard Zhou Jia mention Xu Pingjun.
In the dimension where Liu Shi had already ascended the throne, he suddenly heard Zhou Jia mention his mother. Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his memory was pulled back to many years ago.
He was once a person who was loved by his parents.
That night, Liu Shi locked himself in his room and did not visit any of his concubines.
But Zhou Jia's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced Ying Zheng's heart.
His eyes flickered.
Mother's love.
Since returning from Zhao State, he seemed to have never experienced the feeling of being protected by his mother again, let alone his father... not to mention his father.
Liu Shi is a lucky man.
Zhou Jia also thought that this sentence might make Ying Zheng feel disappointed, and immediately continued:
"What I want to say to Sister Xu Pingjun is that it hasn't come to that point yet. Liu Shi was not the king who destroyed the country, but his policies did have some problems. The Western Han Dynasty began to decline under his leadership. This is the responsibility he should bear, but it is not a crime punishable by death. Don't be afraid. I will talk about the details later.
Back to Zhaojun, it is said that after Zhaojun entered the palace, Mao Yanshou came to paint their portraits one day. The other palace ladies bribed Mao Yanshou to ask him to paint them more beautiful, but Zhaojun was the only one who was unwilling to use these tricks and did not bribe Mao Yanshou. Mao Yanshou was unhappy and deliberately painted Zhaojun, a beautiful woman, into an ugly monster.
When the portrait was presented to him, Liu Shi thought that Zhaojun was an ugly monster when he saw how ugly the portrait was. Therefore, Zhaojun was always neglected in the palace and wasted her youth.
The turning point of the matter occurred in 33 BC. At this time, Huhanye Chanyu, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, requested to meet with Emperor Yuan of Han and asked to be his son-in-law as a vassal.
The key point is that it is the Southern Xiongnu, so naturally there must be a corresponding Xiongnu, right? Then, is it true that Huhanye came to see Emperor Yuan of Han just to seek marriage?"
Qin
Meng Tian, who is guarding the Great Wall for His Majesty and fighting against the Huns, still has some say.
"I'm afraid their submission is only temporary. They must be hoping to gain some benefit from the Han Dynasty, or perhaps... they're plotting something."
It's just like people. Your enemy is the kind of person who is at odds with you to the death. They fight each other every day, but suddenly one day he comes over and speaks to you in a nice voice. Either he wants to ask you for something, or he has secretly planned how to kill you with one blow.
Liu Che and the others naturally reacted in the same way, subconsciously feeling that this was a trap.
"According to what Miss Zhou Jia said about the marriage, the emperor in the future might really agree to let the Huns come to Chang'an for an audience." Huo Qubing said.
Wei Qing also became serious. Liu Che narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Jia without saying a word.
The ministers below knew that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to go up and offend him.
"We need to push this background forward a bit. As everyone knows, after Emperor Wu of Han sent Generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to attack the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu were practically defeated. Our Han family was so proud, having finally paid back all the humiliation we had suffered from the Xiongnu before. But—
Everything is limited. In the short term, the Huns were defeated, but as long as they are given time to develop, their strength will increase again. The Han Dynasty could no longer suppress them.
Huhanye was the son of Xulu Quanqu Chanyu. Just like the struggle for imperial power, the two brothers were also fighting among themselves. However, Huhanye was not very strong and was being chased and beaten. So he wanted to use the Han Dynasty to help him establish a political power, so he became a vassal of the Han Dynasty and developed his economy. When he had accumulated enough strength, he took his subordinates and fought back.
In 33 BC, the Northern Xiongnu were annihilated by the Han Dynasty expeditionary force, and Huhanye then petitioned Liu Shi for a marriage alliance.
Emperor Yuan of Han agreed and asked in the palace who was willing to marry the Huns. At this time, Zhaojun, who had been neglected, stood up and said that she was willing to go. Liu Shi also agreed and agreed to let Zhaojun marry the Huns.
At the banquet, Liu Shi first saw this beautiful woman who had been neglected in the palace. He was furious. Unlike him, Hu Hanye was of course very happy to have married such a beautiful woman. Ha, a man.
Zhou Jia did not forget to make some sarcastic remarks while telling the story.
"So the marriage was finalized. It is said that when Liu Shi, who stayed in the Weiyang Palace, learned about Mao Yanshou's affairs, he became furious and executed Mao Yanshou. However, I don't know whether this unofficial history is true or not.
On the other hand, Huhanye took Zhaojun away to the Xiongnu. Wang Zhaojun finally left her homeland and set foot on a land and environment she had never seen before.
Let’s not talk about whether Huhanye Chanyu treated her well after she went to the Xiongnu. Let’s discuss one thing first.
I just told you that Huhanye volunteered to be the son-in-law, and Zhaojun was the candidate. Some people think it is an honor to say this. If someone volunteered to be the son-in-law, doesn't this prove the strength of our Han Dynasty in disguise?
Let's look at it from another angle. If they are so powerful, why don't their men marry in, but our girls marry out to a place they have never lived in before?"
In the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che's expression grew increasingly cold: [So, after fighting the Xiongnu for so many years, I now submit to them and my Han daughter is married off again?]
Zhou Jia could imagine the suppressed anger in Liu Che's heart and decided to add some fuel to the fire.
"I think His Majesty Han Wu should be familiar with this. The Xiongnu have a custom, a custom that even in our later generations' eyes is very explosive. Come on, as usual, get the answer right and get extra points."
