Chapter 184 No marriage! No tribute! Do not surrender!
The route designed by Li Nian for Da Qin, or in other words, the route designed for China in this world, must not only be able to take the lead in force and frighten the entire world, but also demonstrate cultural superiority so that other nations and countries can recognize and Envy, proud to know Chinese characters, speak Chinese language, and proud to be a member of Chinese civilization.
To a certain extent, culture is more important than force.
After all, the dynasty will eventually fall. No matter how hard Ying Zheng tries to build the Great Qin Empire that will never be easy, and Li Nian helps him, one day, Great Qin will still end.
But the dynasty will fall, but Chinese civilization will continue to exist.
Li Nian knew that he could not and could not prevent the demise of the Qin Dynasty. It would be difficult for the Qin Dynasty to maintain its lead forever and shock the whole world. Then let Chinese culture become the mainstream culture of the world, establish a Chinese civilization circle, and mark the future countries of the world with the Chinese name in advance. of imprint.
Li Nian was also in Zhangtai Palace at this time. He usually did not attend court meetings. He came here just to see what Modun Shanyu looked like. If he didn't come to see him, he might not see him.
Because Ying Zheng had already made a plan to kill Mao Dun, Li Nian had seen the plan and it was very simple and crude: frame him up and then kill him quickly without giving Mao Dun any way to survive.
Li Nian originally thought that Ying Zheng would come up with some careful plan to kill Mao Dun, but he did not expect that he would use such a crude reason, so that he was thinking of just killing the leader of the Huns mission. Wouldn't it have a bad impact?
Da Qin must at least have some dignity, right?
But he quickly remembered the operations of the Han Dynasty envoys during the Han Dynasty, and felt that the reason Ying Zheng found was pretty good. It was unreasonable for those envoys from the Han Dynasty to cause trouble to other countries.
Mao Dun did not know that he was in danger, and said to Ying Zheng: "Thank you Qin Emperor for your generosity. I will report it to Shanyu when I return and return all the lands within a year!"
This kind of thing! Just listen to what he said, and whoever believes it will be stupid, but no one jumped out and said that Mao Dun was lying with his eyes open.
After that, the atmosphere in Zhangtai Palace was peaceful:
The Huns want to buy Thirteen Incense, yes; the Huns want to buy salt, yes; the Huns want briquettes, yes; the Huns want to buy briquettes, yes; If you want to send people over to learn from Da Qin’s advanced experience, then...
Although the Huns' requests to purchase weapons were rejected, everyone was still very happy. Ying Zheng even had joy in his eyes. The Huns had little money, so they would pay with cattle, sheep and horses, and Da Qin was currently short of these livestock.
The Huns are also very happy. They can buy the things that the Qin people use now, and their quality of life will definitely improve after they return.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Mao Dun felt that the time and atmosphere were ripe. Perhaps he could mention the idea he had been conceiving for a long time. He paid homage to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the great Emperor Qin, Mao Dun I have something to ask of Your Majesty!”
Ying Zheng was in a good mood after reaching a series of deals with the Huns. , looked at Mao Dun and said with great interest: "As the prince of the Huns, you also have something to ask of me?"
Mao Dun said: "Only His Majesty the Qin Emperor can make the decision in this matter! Mao Dun is thirteen this year. , is already strong but has no wife yet, and wants to ask your majesty to marry a princess of the Qin Dynasty, so that the Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty can have a good relationship for a hundred years.”
These were not Mao Dun's original words, but a translation. However, after listening to the translation, the Zhangtai Palace was instantly quiet, and the smiles on the faces of the ministers disappeared.
This made everyone in the Xiongnu mission puzzled. The prince didn't say anything excessive. How could he make these Qin people quiet?
Because there is only one princess of the right age to get married in Da Qin today.
There are many women in the clan, but there is only one daughter of His Majesty, and this princess has been promised to that one.
Although that person is often invisible, His Majesty has great trust in him. Although he was not His Majesty's son, he was given the status of a prince and made to live in the palace. He was even announced to marry his daughter during the emperor's ceremony.
This kind of favor and favor is not available to many young masters.
This Mao Dun probably didn’t want to marry that princess. For him, as long as the other party’s identity was the Princess of Da Qin, it would be enough, but what he said might make that princess think too much.
Even the ministers who felt that Mo Dun was actually marrying a princess did not dare to speak up. They were not stupid. If they jumped out at this moment, they might offend both that person and His Majesty.
Modun also felt that the situation seemed not quite right, but he didn’t know what was going on. It was difficult to speak, and the situation was unclear. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.
He just wanted to marry a Qin princess to increase his political capital. With the status of the Qin Emperor's son-in-law, after returning to the Huns, his old Chanyu father would not touch him, and he would be able to attract many Huns to join him. It can paralyze the Qin State and give the Xiongnu time to develop...
This kills two birds with one stone. All it costs is that he married a woman he may not like, and he does not need this woman. She is the daughter of Emperor Qin, and all she wants is her identity.
And Ding Potian was just a woman, and it was common to marry a daughter. His father had given away so many Hun women over the years, and Mao Dun didn’t understand why the hall suddenly became quiet.
Li Nian glanced at Mao Dun. He knew what Mao Dun was thinking. It was indeed common to marry a daughter in marriage. There were still marriages between the Han Dynasty, but he did not like this approach. He preferred the Ming Dynasty. set.
He also knew that Mao Dun had no intention of targeting him, and did not really want to marry the daughter of the First Emperor. Mao Dun only wanted the woman he married to have the status of the Princess of Da Qin.
But now everyone in the government and the public knows that the only daughter of the First Emperor who has reached the age of marriage is his fiancée. This is not a target, but it becomes a target, and he must respond!
However, this kid Moton obviously didn’t pass the intelligence before he came.
But this wasn’t the first time this kid had written a sexual harassment letter to Lu Pheasant. He obviously didn’t know Lu Pheasant’s temper.
Actually, it's not that Mao Dun didn't know Li Nian, but that he knew it, but not completely. He knew that Li Nian was the son of the Qin Dynasty, and thought that Li Nian was the son of the First Emperor.
In the eyes of all the ministers, Li Nian stood up. When the Xiongnu envoys and others saw a young man standing up to speak, they all guessed who this person was.
Could this person be the one who calmed down all the Qin people? Did the prince's words offend this person?
Li Nian said: "I think this matter is not feasible. Not to mention whether it is possible for Prince Modun to say that 'the Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty have been good for a hundred years', if I just say that one woman can be exchanged for the well-being of the Qin Dynasty, I will I felt quite ashamed.”
“It’s me, the generals of Great Qin, who dare not fight, or it’s me, the ministers of Great Qin. You are so clueless, incompetent and cowardly that you need a woman to protect us?”
The ministers didn’t take kindly to Li Nian’s words, because someone had said this before, but everyone still did it like this. , although it is a bit embarrassing to do so, but it is practical, but today’s Da Qin does not need it, Da Qin is strong enough.
Li Nian continued: "I believe that a country should have dignity and national character, and it should do the following: no marriage, no indemnity, no cession of territory, no tribute, no surrender, the emperor guards the gates of the country, and the king Death Sheji! ”
