"Emperor Liang, why should I kneel? We Huns have always had hard knees." The envoy was not afraid at all, but retorted.
Zhang Yuanhai on the side looked at the joke, but wanted to know how Zhu Youde responded.
Zhu Youde waved his hand indifferently: "Hongnu barbarians naturally don't understand etiquette."
This is actually the most common statement.
Although he secretly scolded the Hun envoys, he was actually inferior to others.
Just when everyone thought this matter was over, Zhu Youde then looked at Wang Po.
"General Wang, you said that the Huns have tough knees. I rarely see the Huns. Is this true?"
When Wang Po heard this, he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I heard from my seniors that few of the Huns we encountered on the battlefield had stiff knees."
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Youde's face: "What you said is wrong. You cannot use this kind of consciousness to describe all the Huns, and the few people in the hall are the ones with stiff knees among the Huns."
They are probably the only ones who are tough."
As soon as he said these words, a burst of laughter broke out in the court hall.
The Hun envoys were ready to refute, but before they could refute, Wang Po glared back.
At this time, the murderous aura in Wang Po's body had exploded instantly.
The words that the Huns envoys originally wanted to say were swallowed alive at this glance.
And Zhang Yuanhai's expression also became unsightly at this time.
However, just showing off this kind of rhetoric has no effect. Now Zhu Youde is also ready to ask about serious matters.
"Why did you come here this time?"
After hearing these words, the Huns envoy's face became slightly better.
"I came here this time, firstly, to greet the Emperor of Liang on behalf of Shanyu, and secondly, to make peace with him." The leader also spoke at this time.
But after hearing this sentence, the faces of many ministers were different.
When the officials from the Lord Peace Party heard this, their faces were filled with joy.
After all, once you get married, no matter how long the peace can be maintained, it will definitely be fine within a year or two.
The officials from the main war faction had angry expressions on their faces.
The leader among them should be Wang Po.
Looking at his expression, Zhu Youde felt that if this was not in the court, he would probably have taken action against these Huns.
Generally speaking, there are two forms of marriage. One is that a country is too powerful, and a weaker country will seek recognition.
This form of marriage is more about marrying their princess into a powerful dynasty.
Another reason is why a big country needs to recuperate when its strength is weak, so it has to make peace with its enemies.
The former is proof of strength, while the latter has always been a shame.
After all, I had never heard of getting married before.
Before the arrival of these Huns envoys, they only said that they came to visit the Emperor of Liang.
The ministers did not discuss these matters.
In fact, this is not the first time for a marriage ceremony. The princess of the previous dynasty also went to the Huns for a marriage ceremony.
When Zhu Youde heard these words, he was already sneering sadly in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the Xiongnu Chanyu wants to make peace with each other now. No matter what, if the marriage is successful, the Liang and Xiongs can become one family."
Seeing that Zhu Youde did not express his position, Zhang Yuanhai stood up and said hurriedly.
"If the marriage can be successful this time, the borderland will definitely be peaceful in the future. This is a good thing."
Your Majesty, Princess An Ning is not married yet. She is still young and can still get married.
Nowadays, the Xiongnu Chanyu is only forty years old. He is already in his prime, but he is not at a disadvantage.
Seeing Zhang Yuanhai open his mouth, the officials from the peace faction said one after another.
As for those officials from the main war faction, although they were all filled with indignation, they still wanted to see Zhu Youde's attitude.
Zhu Youde frowned and asked, "But I don't know how your country wants to make peace?"
Seeing the eager expressions of those courtiers, the envoy had nothing but contempt in his eyes.
After all, those who despise themselves will be despised by others.
Now that they had an opportunity to get married, these ministers agreed one after another.
This only made these Huns envoys look down upon Daliang even more.
He replied: "Courtesy of the Liang Kingdom, you are wrong. Our marriage is not for our Shanyu, but for Shanyu's father."
The ministers who were originally in favor of the marriage suddenly changed their expressions after hearing these words.
They also knew something about the Xiongnu's father.
But no matter what, the current Shanyu's father is probably over seventy years old, and he is already very old.
In probably only a few years, he will return to the West.
Now his request for marriage is simply a slap in the face.
"Today's Chanyu is married and is also a Hun noble. How can Princess Daliang compare to the Hun nobles?"
But the face of the Huns envoy was full of arrogance, and he did not take the current courtiers in his eyes at all.
And his high posture made those courtiers feel extremely angry.
"The bold and crazy people are making such demands now. Do they really think that we have no one in charge?"
Before the other courtiers could speak, Wang Po had already stood up.
After he said these words, the courtiers next to him also agreed.
After all, in such a situation, they can only choose to face the outside world in unison.
When the Huns envoy saw this, his face turned red and he shouted: "In that case, then you will accept the anger of my Huns."
After the Huns envoy finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
But Zhang Yuanhai stood up and said: "My lord, envoy, wait a moment."
At the same time, he also looked at another minister in the queue.
When the minister saw this, he naturally knew what Zhang Yuanhai meant.
He came directly to Wang Po and scolded him sternly: "Wang Po, by saying this, do you want me, Daliang, to have another dispute with the Huns?"
Zhu Youde also had a clear view of everything in the audience, including Zhang Yuanhai's eyes just now.
He also knew the identity of this minister.
Today, Sun Yun, the young minister of Dali Temple, is in charge of foreign affairs.
From the time he first entered the court, he had already shown his political tendency, which was to be pro-Xiongnu.
Among the Lord Harmony Sect, he can be regarded as a backbone force.
Seeing a civil servant, he actually pointed the finger at himself.
He even pointed at himself and cursed. Wang Po suddenly showed his murderous intent: "Sun Yun, what do you mean by saying this? I think you are a spy sent by the Huns."
Above the court, facing the threat from Wang Po, Sun Yun didn't have much fear.
After all, Wang Po couldn't suddenly take action in full view of everyone.
Then he stood up with his hands behind his back and scolded again: "I see that you have a cruel heart. All you talk about all day long is war, and you are resorting to militarism. Have you ever put the lives of our soldiers and civilians in Daliang in your eyes?"
