Chapter 1138 Changping County Lord 86
Uvida went to visit Huxie Maodun.
Huxie Maodun had not had a good life these past two months, not to mention the rotten vegetable leaves that were thrown all over him when he entered the city. The people's spittle could actually wet the bottom of the prison car. After being captured, they were treated even more rudely.
Throw it in the stable and let him clean it up.
Huxie Maodun was originally very angry, but he was the eldest prince and the acquiesced heir apparent, but he was thrown into the stable.
First he went on a hunger strike, but after two days of hunger, he found that no one was eating him, so he decided to starve to death. It wouldn't help if he starved to death here, so he grabbed some moldy corn buns and gnawed them.
If the stables are not cleaned, the smell will be very strong. Running on horseback is one thing, but living in it is another. So the noble prince, who had never done such a job before, had no choice but to pick up a shovel and start shoveling horse manure.
The cotton-padded clothes are quite thick, but they are a bit old and torn, but they still keep me warm. There was also some hay and dry branches for him to make a fire and keep warm.
Later, I also gave him some grain and asked him to cook porridge for himself.
In fact, this is considered preferential treatment, and ordinary people also live like this. But for Huxie Maodun, who was so pampered and had nothing to do except ride, shoot and beat slaves, it was simply miserable as hell.
When Uwe arrived, he couldn't recognize his eldest brother, who had always looked at him with a frown and a nose in the air.
Huxie Maodun threw down his shovel and rushed towards him, but was kicked over by the soldier next to him.
The soldier shouted: "Don't be rude to the distinguished guests!" The soldiers next to him stepped forward and detained him.
The steward laughed along with him: "This madman always says that he is Huxie Maodun, the eldest prince of the Huns. But look at the fourth prince who is so wise and brave. How can there be such a deserter in such a panic? It's good that the fourth prince is here this time to confirm. , see if it is.”
They all claimed to have caught the eldest prince, but now they don't admit it and are pretending to be confused. Houhei Xue really has a skill!
"I am the eldest prince of the Huns, and I am his brother!" Huxie Maodun struggled hard, but his arms were twisted tightly by the soldiers on both sides.
Uvida thought for a while: "No, he is just a madman."
"What?" Huxie Maodun stopped struggling and widened his eyes: "What did you say? I understand, you want to take this opportunity to retaliate against me. Kill you!"
Before he could rush forward, he was punched by a soldier until his eyes were filled with stars and the corners of his mouth were cracked.
Uvida said slowly: "My eldest brother is indeed brave and brave, unparalleled in the world. Although he is not my eldest brother, he is still a Huns. It is not good to die here at this time. Please give him to me and send him back to the Huns. So as not to cause further trouble between the two countries.”
The steward was stunned for a moment, then saluted: "The lower official cannot take the decision in this matter, so I will allow the lower official to report it and wait for the holy will."
"Okay! Well done." Uweida nodded, then walked to Huxie Maodun and squatted down: "Although I don't know who you are, as a Huns subject, I have to save you. Just wait a moment Don’t be impatient, I will send you back when the Holy Will comes down.”
After speaking, he blinked his eyes.
Although Huxie Maodun is a reckless man, he is also considered smart. As long as I can go back, it doesn't matter how. Think about it, if he were an ordinary Huns, he would be more likely to be released. I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I lowered my head and stopped talking.
Uvida stood up and saluted the steward: "Then please take care of him."
The steward quickly returned the greeting: "How dare you, I have written it down." After Uvida returned, he wrote a letter. The Xiongnu had no written language and could only use Chinese characters. The letters between the Xiongnu and the Han also used Chinese characters, and there were also people among the Xiongnu who understood Chinese characters.
After describing the situation here, people have seen it, but they do not admit that it is Huxie Maodun. Huxie Maodun's two thumbs were broken and he was a useless person. He said that he would make the Xiongnu lose face. Simply say no, and leave it to the Khan to deal with it after the others return.
When the time comes to say that the eldest prince has been found, or that he has died and been hidden away, that will all be the Great Khan's business.
Then he said that he wanted to marry the Changping County Lord. Since Huxie Maodun had capsized with the Changping County Lord, he would undoubtedly save some face by marrying the Changping County Lord. After returning home, he will issue a letter of engagement and prepare cattle and sheep as betrothal gifts.
The King of Han naturally agreed to release the "crazy" Huns prisoners. But when the head of Changping County went to get married, the matter became difficult to handle.
After the courtiers went back and thought it over, they divided into two waves. One wave supported the marriage of the Changping County Lord, and the other opposed it.
Naturally, there are more people who oppose it than those who agree. They make noises in the court every day, as if this is the only thing besides official duties.
The King of Han was so quarreled that his head hurt. Later, a minister came out to speak and suggested that the Lord of Changping County should be asked to come to the capital. Even if there was to be a falling out, let the Lord of Changping County do it. Maybe everyone persuaded the Changping County Lord, and he agreed.
The King of Han thought it was feasible, but they could not come, the precious clothes were stained, and all the good clothes were sold to be used as military supplies.
So he immediately issued an order to give the Lord of Changping County two sets of precious clothes, four sets of Chinese clothes, a total of 20 pieces of silk and satin, a total of four sets of jewelry and jade, two hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and 300 households with seals. , go to the capital within three days after receiving the holy order, and be sure to go to the capital to express gratitude to the Holy Spirit within twenty days.
Now I have the treasure clothes, and I have two sets. Four sets of the best clothes, money required, and a food entitlement, and a time limit, so there is no reason not to come.
The eunuchs were not allowed to pass by in a car with the imperial edict. It would take at least a week to get there by car, even if we didn't stop day and night, and the jailer would be so dizzy in the car, it would be such a waste of time. Let the messenger directly take the imperial edict, ride a fast horse, and travel day and night at the speed of delivering military reports to deliver the imperial edict to the head of Changping County, Linyi County.
There is a post station fifty miles away. When the horse runs out, he immediately changes to another horse and continues to the next post station. The next night, the imperial edict arrived at the head of Changping County.
Xining even lay down and was called up. Reluctantly, he put on his clothes and knelt outside to receive the order.
We must leave within three days and arrive in Beijing within twenty days. Hehe, this King of Han was so anxious to push her to the Huns?
"Thank you, Lord!" Xining took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up.
It was very cold in spring, and even if he was shielded, the cold wind along the way would make the messenger's face covered with frostbite. He was tired and said weakly: "Your Majesty has an order, and all the rewards have been prepared. Please leave the county master as soon as possible. Someone will naturally serve you when you get to the palace."
There is no need to prepare clothes, all the good things are ready, as long as people go there.
"I dare not violate the holy name. Please come inside to rest and cultivate your spiritual power. I will send someone back immediately to reply to Your Majesty." Xi Ning asked someone to help the messenger down, who was almost unable to support himself, and asked someone to go to the nearest post station to report the message.
After placing the imperial edict on the incense table and offering it, Xining returned to the room, took off his clothes and lay down again.
But I couldn't sleep anymore, so I started to think about it while I was lying down. The position is about to change now. This time it is the capital and palace of Longtan Tiger's Nest.
