The back hall of Weiyang Palace.

The state banquet to welcome Yi Zhixie's visit was held as scheduled.

Before the banquet began, as usual, a Jiaodong opera performance, which was the favorite of the Han Dynasty officials and princes, was held.

The so-called Jiaodian Opera, also known as Baixi among the people, is a collective name for various acrobatics and primitive dramas.

Its origin may have started in the middle of the Warring States Period, but there are clear written records of Jiaodong Opera performances during the reign of Qin II.

The wrestling show has developed to the present and has formed a variety of events including wrestling, acrobatics, drama and archery.

There is one project among them that is very popular among both the people and the royal family.

This is the Chi You Opera, the first drama in Chinese history.

Chi You's opera can be simple or complex.

If one or two people can act, so can one or two hundred people.

Moreover, the materials required are very simple.

Even a poor person can just find a few animal horns and start a show.

The rules are also very simple.

That is, if the horns are equal to each other, the stronger one wins.

The script is simpler, it is a reenactment of the ancient battle between the Yellow Emperor and Xuanyuan.

This drama doesn't even have lines, setting or background, it all depends on the actors' self-expression.

Even so, Chi You Opera is still the most popular project among the 100 operas.

Some princes and ministers are even masters of Chiyou opera themselves.

Don't be surprised.

Because, in fact, Chi You Opera is not only a drama, it is also a competitive sport.

It has referees to decide the outcome...

This is very in line with the taste of Han people.

Today, Chi You Opera is the second most popular sport in Guanzhong, after Cuju, and its ranking is even higher than cockfighting and dog fighting (playing chess).

To watch Chi You's play, you don't need to use your brain.

Don't pay attention to those exaggerated and contrived performances in drama performances and the story content that is completely inconsistent with three views, common sense, and logic.

Because, as the name of Chi You Opera suggests, the protagonist is the military leader Chi You.

The status of the military leader in the Han Dynasty was very high.

When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, came to control Chang'an, he first ordered the erection of the Chiyou Temple, and after he ascended the throne, the first god he worshiped and offered sacrifices to was also Chiyou.

In the consciousness of the Han people, Chi You, the leader of the army, is an out-and-out God of War. He can bless the army to victory and bestow blessings on the soldiers.

Naturally, the content of Chi You's opera also changed accordingly.

It is not surprising that Chi You's rivals and pursuers changed from Xuanyuan Huangdi to Xirong Guifang, even the Xiongnu, Lin Hu and so on.

Now, this is the Chiyou drama presented in the palace.

Several tall muscular men, wearing horns on their heads, use exaggerated body language to express the story content of the drama.

Then, several actors with disheveled hair playing Chi You's enemies appeared.

The dress and image of these people make it easy for people to recognize at a glance that they are actually "Huns" or "Yidis".

These actors used very exaggerated body language to tell how they acted recklessly and recklessly in China, and they were very proud and arrogant.

The strong man playing Chi You shouted and seemed to be trying to stop him.

In the end, a big war is about to break out.

Yi Zhixie and his members of the envoy watched this Chi You play. Although they did not understand the content of the play, they did not know the meaning of the play.

But one thing is certain.

In this play, the Han Dynasty people nakedly expressed their hostility to the Xiongnu.

Yi Zhi raised his head sideways and looked at the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had a peaceful face. He seemed to be addicted to drama, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

To be fair, at this time, he should stand up and safeguard the honor of the Xiongnu, regardless of whether the Xiongnu had any honor or not.

But Yi Zhixie discovered that he simply couldn't do this.

Because, he found that he no longer had the confidence to protest...

He couldn't even bear the slightest dissatisfaction from the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty.

"This is why the military officials wanted to send me to the Han Dynasty..." Yi Zhixie thought to himself: "What a good plan!"

There is no doubt that there must be many people in the mission who have received instructions from military ministers.

These people will definitely keep an eye on his every move.

What things have been done and what words have been said.

In this way, even if he can return to the Xiongnu, these will become evidence that he defected to the Han Dynasty and betrayed the Xiongnu!

In this way, even if Yi Zhixie returns to China alive, he will lose a lot of people's hearts.

A Luantang family who knelt down before the emperor of the Han Dynasty obviously could not become a Chanyu no matter what.

At this time, Yi Zhixie thought of his cousin Wuli who was killed by his men on the Wusun border.

At the beginning, he used a similar strategy to squeeze out the last bit of Wu Li's use value, and then killed him without hesitation to start a war.

Yi Zhixie once heard from Bank of China that there is a proverb among the Han people, which is that the snipe and the clam fight against each other and the fisherman gets the benefit.

Yi Zhixie now finally knew the meaning of this sentence.

However, even if he knew, Yi Zhixie had nothing to do.

If someone offends the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty and offends the other party, they have countless ways to kill themselves without anyone noticing.

And if you don't say a word, once you return to your country and are spread out, you will be in pain for the rest of your life.

Even the Hun nobles who were most loyal to him would waver in their stance, let alone those who were mostly just waiting and watching, hedging their bets.

The politics of the Xiongnu have always been extremely realistic.

At that time, Touman Shanyu was incompetent and stupid, so that the Huns were not only oppressed by the Donghu, but even the Linhu, Luhou, Loufan and other tribes dared to drink and call the Huns, humiliating them like dogs.

Therefore, Maodun Shanyu shot him dead.

In the Xiongnu, where even Chanyu was not allowed to be weak, no one would follow a timid nobleman.

In the past, present and future, the Huns will only surrender under the feet of the strong.

Like a pack of wolves on the prairie.

A pack of wolves can tolerate the wolf king being cruel, cold, ruthless and even taking over all the mating rights, but they will never accept a cowardly and irresponsible wolf king.

Once the wolf king shows such signs, the reaction of the wolf pack will be very direct and quickly expel or kill him!

Now, the problem before Yi Zhixie is that one is seeking death, and the other is chronic death.

This made Yi Zhixie a little restless, and the drama content, music, and dance in the palace aggravated his mood.

So, when the drama is about to reach the Gaohu Dynasty, it begins to advance.

Yi Zhi stood up obliquely and looked directly at the Han Emperor who was above him. He even ignored the diplomatic etiquette and said directly in the Xiongnu language: "The emperor has been trying to overthrow the Han Dynasty for decades.

Peace?"

Suddenly, there was silence in the palace.

Even the actors had the good sense to stop all their movements.

Of course Liu Che didn't understand the Xiongnu language, but Dahonglu did.

Gongsun Kunxie immediately stepped forward and translated Yi Zhixie's words to Liu Che.

After Liu Che heard this, he waved his hand and asked the actors in Chi You's opera to get down.

Then, Liu Che smiled and said to Yi Zhi: "Why did King Youguli say this? Of course I didn't mean that!"

Telling lies with open eyes is an essential skill in diplomacy.

Besides, this Chi You drama is no big deal!

Thirty years later, in order to quickly integrate into China, there were even Hun nobles and generals who took the initiative to play the role of enemies in Chi You's plays in the palace for the entertainment of civil and military officials and the emperor.

Faced with Liu Che's shamelessness, Yi Zhixie was so angry that she was almost speechless.

Liu Che said: "King Yougu Li, please be patient. There are great cultural differences between the Han and Hungarian countries. I remember that back then, Zhongxing said that he had a debate with the Han envoys about the differences between the Han and Hungarians.

There is talk about the Huns being vulgar and uncaring, and father and son Kunzhong living in the same house, similar to this situation. In the Xiongnu, it is a custom, but under my rule, it goes against the laws of human ethics. It is not allowed by nature, and it is despised by the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

Behavior... Therefore, King Yougu Li please suspend his thunderous anger. Perhaps King Yougu Li has misunderstood?"

As soon as Liu Che said these words, all the Han ministers in the palace burst into laughter.

Yi Zhixie's face also became extremely embarrassed.

Although it is said that the custom of the Xiongnu is to despise the elderly and not support them. Except for the nobles, everyone else can die early as soon as they become old.

As for father and son Kunzhong, it is even more common for a large family to live in a tent.
