Chapter 180: This son of Maodun must not be kept!
A secret message sent from the border hastily arrived in Xianyang and was presented to Ying Zheng's case. After opening it, he found that the Huns had sent an envoy to congratulate him on becoming emperor and ask him whether he was the emperor. The Hun envoys must be allowed to enter the country.
Although in the secret letter, the Xiongnu envoy said that the purpose of their mission was to hear that he had proclaimed himself emperor and came to congratulate him, and they also brought many congratulatory gifts such as horses, beauties, and gems. If you don’t believe a word of it, whoever believes it will be stupid.
If you really want to congratulate him on becoming emperor, you can either come to attend the ceremony on the eve of his becoming emperor, or come on the day and day after he becomes emperor. Half a month has passed since there was a ceremony. The Huns sent an envoy over.
The news of his grand ceremony as emperor was neither hidden nor concealed. Instead, it spread all over the world. Ying Zheng didn’t believe that the Huns didn’t know about it. The Huns had plenty of time to send envoys to congratulate them, but they It is obvious that he is not sincere and has other motives.
The purpose of the Huns was obviously that they were afraid that Da Qin would send troops to them, so they came to inspect Da Qin's situation under the guise of congratulating him on becoming emperor to see if he really intended to send troops.
The Xiongnu are not a powerful country today and are not the rivals of the Qin Dynasty, but Ying Zheng remembers that in the history mentioned by Li Nian, by the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had become the overlord of the grassland, and even Liu Ji was defeated by the Xiongnu Chanyu came with a "Baideng siege".
'I remember that Li Nian said that the Xiongnu Chanyu who surrounded Liu Ji was called 'Modun'. There was also a man named 'Modun' in this envoy, and he was said to be the son of Touman. The two should be the same. Same person. ’
There was murderous intent in Ying Zheng’s eyes. If they were really the same person, then this Mao Dun could not be let back casually.
Suppressing the murderous intention, Ying Zheng glanced at a chamberlain below, threw the secret letter over, and said: "Forward to Liuying Palace."
In the Liuying Palace, Li Nian is busy. His work has increased. He has to participate in the design of the military academy, select the site for the naval academy, advise on the Xianyang exam, replace the current Qin seal script with the simplified Chinese characters of later generations, and copy the knowledge of later generations... …sometimes we have to deal with some inquiries transferred from Zhangtai Palace.
Today's Daqin is embarking on a different path than in history, and as the main designer of this path, naturally he is very busy.
Just as he was thinking that there was no inquiry from Zhangtai Palace today, Li Nian saw Guo Dian coming in with a chamberlain.
The chamberlain held up the secret letter with both hands, lowered his head and said to Li Nian: "Sir, Your Majesty asked you to forward this to you!"
Guo Dian took the secret letter and sent it to Li Nian. On the case.
With the thought of "What happened to the First Emperor today?", Li Nian opened the secret letter: Oh, it was the Huns who sent an envoy.
After reading the secret letter, Li Nian also understood Ying Zheng’s intention of forwarding the secret letter to him: to let him judge the purpose of this Xiongnu mission from the professional perspective of future generations, and how Great Qin should treat this A Hun mission.
In fact, there is nothing to judge. When he saw the word "Maodun" in the list of Xiongnu mission personnel, Li Nian had only one thought: This son must not be kept!
If this man is really the Maodun Chanyu in history, no matter what age he is, as long as he enters the territory of Daqin, he will never be released back to the Huns.
In the eyes of the Huns, Maodun Shan was the hero who made the Huns rise, the eagle in the sky, and the great king of the grassland. But from the perspective of the Qin Dynasty, he was a terrifying power. enemy.
History is created by the people, but certain figures play a very important role in history. Without them, history would be very different. Moton is one of these people!
Li Nian began to search for information about Mao Dun in his mind. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Mao Dun could not be released back to the Huns. This man was too powerful. Without him, the Huns would most likely not be able to become powerful. It will become a powerful force that takes several generations of efforts to defeat.
Li Nian started writing, explaining to Ying Zheng the threat of Mao Dun and the benefits of getting rid of Mao Dun. Once it is confirmed that this Mao Dun is the historical Mao Dun, he will definitely We must try to get rid of it and not let it return to the Xiongnu. He also said that there is no need to worry about the revenge of the Xiongnu after getting rid of Maodun.
The Huns are now led by Touman, the father of Maodun. But Touman, perhaps in his early years, had some enterprising spirit and wanted to become a great leader. However, after the battle with Li Mu, his backbone was broken. Being interrupted, I lost my ambition and spirit, and I could only maintain my status without daring to make any further progress.
In that battle, the Huns lost 100,000 cavalry, which not only severely damaged the Huns' vitality, but also caused Touman's prestige among the Huns to plummet. Even if Touman made up for it afterwards, it would be difficult for his prestige to be restored to what it was before the battle with Li Mu.
Even though Touman was still unwilling to make progress and wanted to make progress, he only dared to do something secretly. This can be seen from the fact that he secretly occupied the Hetao area when the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and now he sent an envoy to congratulate the First Emperor. A spot.
It is impossible for such Touman to dare to go to war with Daqin for a son, and there are also conflicts between Touman and Mao Dun.
In the history that should have happened, Touman’s favored Yan family gave birth to a young son, so he wanted to kill Mao Dun and give birth to a younger son, so he sent Mao Dun to the Yuezhi as a hostage, and then he attacked the Yuezhi , intending to use Yuezhi to kill Mao Dun.
Who would have thought that Mao Dun was a fierce man. Not only did he not die, he also stole the Yueshi's good horse and ran back to the Huns. In the end, a few years later, Mao Dun was "a loving father and a filial son", leaving behind a "Mingdi Murder" "Father" idiom.
Although Touman may not have a young son at this time and has not given birth to the idea of killing Mao Dunli's youngest son, there may still be conflicts between father and son.
Touman is the master of defense. He has no ambition and ambition. He only wants to live a good life. If he can take advantage secretly, then take it. If he can’t take it, then I will leave. How can I be fooled by such ambition? The ambitious hunk is watching?
I am afraid that Mao Dun has long disliked his father and felt that he was weak and incompetent. How could an old insect who was greedy for life and afraid of death lead the Xiongnu to become powerful?
Only a tough guy like me can do it!
Touman is probably also wary of Mao Dun. This kid is already so different from what I thought at this age. When I am old, will he not be able to go to heaven?
What Li Nian wrote was quickly sent to Ying Zheng, with only one core idea: if this Maodun is the son of Touman, the Xiongnu, he will stay in Daqin forever.
A few days later, a document sent from Xianyang arrived at the Shangjun border pass.
In the cold wind of winter, Mao Dun led a group of Huns. He was tall and strong, and it was impossible to tell that he was a thirteen-year-old boy. Only those with strong bodies and good minds could Lead the Huns to become powerful.
My brain is not good enough to think of many ways to rejuvenate the country. My body is not strong enough to conquer the north and south and convince the Huns.
He was listening to a Qin official reading out a document, and someone who was proficient in Xiongnu and Qin languages was translating for him. The Emperor of Qin agreed that they should go to congratulate them and allow them to enter the territory of Qin.
After the Qin official finished reading the document and put it away, a Qin general came forward and said to Mao Dun: "Your Majesty has allowed you to wait until you enter the customs. You can set off today. We will escort you to Xianyang."
Modun quickly thanked him in Xiongnu language. He didn't care too much about the fact that the Qin army would escort him throughout the whole journey. He wanted to get to Xianyang as soon as possible to see what the Qin Dynasty was like.
