Chapter 426 Ask Khan to go to the title of Heavenly King
While Zhang Zhao was dealing with the last grudges of the old and young in Dunhuang, Yelu Deguang was also preparing to deal with the traitors in his eyes.
However, his traitor was none other than Shi Chonggui, the leader of the Jin Dynasty who had just ascended the throne.
Oh, no! In Yelv Deguang's view, Shi Jingtang, the emperor of Jin, was canonized by him, so Shi Chonggui must also be canonized by him before he can ascend the throne as emperor.
In Yelu Deguang's heart, he still regarded the Later Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains as a vassal state that was slightly more independent, but still recognized the Khitan as its suzerain.
Therefore, after the Jin envoy who offered his condolences arrogantly suggested that he should be called a grandson instead of a minister, Yelu Deguang's already angry scalp began to tingle.
Of course, in fact, the Jin envoy was almost trembling with fear. The so-called arrogance was just Yelu Deguang's personal opinion.
"Very good!" Yelu Deguang almost spit out these two words from between his teeth.
"Is this how your Lord treated his grandfather? Has he forgotten who saved the father and son from Jinyang City and sent them to the Supreme Throne of the Central Plains?"
Although the Jin envoy was scared, he still remembered his mission and answered with some trepidation.
"Your Majesty's grace for Jinyang's survival, the merits of being registered in Tokyo, and the late emperor's hundreds of thousands of gold and silk in the past few years have already repaid your Majesty's kindness."
That's okay! It's so shameless! Yelu Deguang was so angry that he was shaking all over.
An emperor of the Central Plains, with dozens of members of the Shi family, could pay off hundreds of thousands of coins, right?
The angry Yelv De pointed his halberd at the Jin envoy, "It's rare that you still know that your lord was conferred by a certain person. In the past, Shi Jingtang came to the court and called himself emperor instead of a minister. That was approved by a certain person! Who is Shi Chonggui? How dare you not do this?
Promise yourself?"
The envoy must have been too frightened. Faced with Yelu Deguang's sharp rebuke, he actually remembered what Jing Yanguang had ordered when he set out, and straightened his robes.
"Emperor Gaozu was conferred by His Majesty, so he should be called a minister. However, my new master is self-reliant, and the title of grandson is due to ethics. Where does the title of minister come from?"
Upon hearing this, Yelu Deguang became even angrier and even reprimanded him harshly. However, at this time, Empress Dowager Shulu Ping, who was sitting on the right side of Yelu Deguang, coughed slightly.
Yelu Deguang has always listened to his mother's words since he was a child. Now that he heard his mother's cough, he finally came to his senses.
As a dignified emperor, he would gain nothing and lose some points by quarreling with an envoy from the Jin Dynasty here.
So Yelu Deguang waved his hand and asked the guards of the Pishi Army on the left and right to seize the Jin envoy and throw him out.
Seeing that Yelu Deguang was so angry that Zhao Yanshou, who was claiming the title of King of Yan but was actually just Yelu Deguang's favorite, stood up quickly and said to Shulu Ping and Yelu Deguang.
"When I was in the Southern Dynasties, I got to know Shi Chonggui. This man could be called a middle-aged man, but he did not have the talent to govern a big country. The sudden chaos must be caused by someone!
It would be better for your Majesty to send an envoy to rebuke him in advance. If he wants to change his mind, let him give him a girl in gold and silk and send an envoy to apologize.
If your attitude is still so arrogant, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to send out more troops to punish you."
Although Zhao Yanshou strongly hoped in his heart that Yelu Deguang would immediately go south to destroy the Jin Kingdom and then support him as the emperor of the Central Plains, Shulu Ping was here and did not dare to talk nonsense.
Yelu Deguang also wanted to send troops south to attack the Jin Dynasty immediately, but the Empress Dowager Shulu Ping behind him knew how powerful it was. She knew that the Central Plains was not that easy to enter.
So before Yelu Deguang could speak, the Queen Mother, who had a strong personality and tough style, nodded first.
Seeing this, Yelu Deguang could only agree with Zhao Yanshou's suggestion and asked angrily.
"Then who can be an envoy to Jin?"
Zhao Yanshou replied: "Qi Rong, the secretary-general next to me, has the talent of eloquence and the ability to adapt to changes. He can be sent as an envoy to Jin to reprimand the Lord of Jin and find out who is instigating Jin."
The Lord did such a rebellious act."
Yelu Deguang nodded in agreement, "But, let's call Qi Rong and explain it in person and let him go as an envoy to Jin."
.....
Wu Darer was also standing in the palace hall of the Gaochang Uighurs at this moment. For him, the princes and the royal family of the Gaochang Uighurs were no stranger to him.
Since the days of Cao's Guiyi Army, Wu Dal'er has often been sent as an envoy to the Gaochang Uighurs, but today's Gaochang City is not the same as it used to be.
In the past, Gaochang was just a small town with a population of more than 20,000 people. But now, because it is located on an important trade road, its appearance has changed greatly in a few years. Wu Dal'er guessed that there are at least 50,000 people in the city.
Although over the years, Zhang Zhao has been working hard to persuade a large number of merchants to go to the southern route.
However, along the northern route there are luxuriant water plants, numerous cities, and many residents, so there are relatively more buyers for buying and selling various items.
In addition, the northern route does not need to pass through the Taklimakan Desert, so although Zhang Zhao has been supporting the southern route, more than half of the merchants taking the northern route still account for it.
In general, thanks to Zhang Zhao's restoration of the Silk Road to a large extent, Gaochang Uighur trade has flourished.
As far as Gaochang City is concerned, it has become the largest and richest city in the Hexi Corridor besides Liangzhou.
After seeing this and the fact that the imperial guards of the Gaochang Uighurs could be covered with brocade, Wu Daler finally understood why Zhang Zhao was eager to swallow up the Gaochang Uighurs.
As a new generation of powerful people, Gui Yijun has such a rich and wealthy thieves squatting next to him. God will not stand it if he doesn't swallow him up.
Only by swallowing the Gaochang Uighurs would Zhang Zhao monopolize the trade profits on the entire Silk Road.
And this is a business that is sure to make a profit. The Gaochang Uighurs have been a country for more than 60 years. They sit on the main road of the Silk Road. There are millions of acres of fertile land cultivated by the Han people during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there are more than 100,000 good horses.
There are countless horses, cattle and sheep.
To swallow him would be equivalent to at least three to four Dingnan troops, but not as difficult as the Dingnan army.
The only difficulty is how to prevent them from running north of Jinshan (Altai Mountain).
"The King of the Great Liang Kingdom wrote to the Pugu Khan of the Gaochang Kingdom. The title of King of Heaven comes from the title given by the Emperor of Zhou in the past, which was the Khan of the Great Chaotian. He got this title only because of the support of the people.
Now Pugu Khan is presumptuous in calling himself the King of Heaven, which is really an act of presumptuousness. The King of Great Liang urges the Khan to quickly remove his title and show all his courtesy."
Wang Jiulang of Shangbaima Village stood in front of Gaochang Uyghur Khan Jieli Bijia, and dealt with the enemy mercilessly.
His voice was clear and clear, and he spoke in an ups and downs, and his Uighur dialect was extremely standard. As soon as he spoke it, Jielibiga almost became angry to death.
As an envoy, Wu Dal'er also stood behind Wang Jiulang, which was a deliberate arrangement.
Let Wang Jiulang, who has a low status, go up to draw hatred first. Even if Jielibijia loses his mind and goes crazy, Wu Dal'er still has a chance to make amends.
The worst thing is that Wang Jiulang alone is unlucky, but the envoy will be fine.
"What a thief! How dare you speak nonsense here!"
"Who are you? How dare you be so impudent in front of the King of Heaven?"
"Kill him! Kill him! The thieves in Hexi are so arrogant."
Jielibijia was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, and all the Gaochang officials were also furious.
Moreover, most of them actually cursed in Hexi Tang pronunciation, which was similar to that of Gui Yijun.
Don’t be surprised at all, because the Gaochang Uighurs are a country with a very strong Chinese culture. Although the Uighurs dominate the national population, there are also many Han Chinese who are Uighurs. This can be seen from the official establishment of the Gaochang Uighur Khanate.
Prime Minister, Privy Envoy, Shangzhu Kingdom, Dr. Zijin Guanglu, Grand Master of the School, etc.
The honorary titles include various founding princes, the royal guards are controlled by the left and right Shenwu generals, and the various states and places have governors, judges, etc.
When they surrendered to the Khitan in the past, the Khitan envoy reported back to Yelu Abaoji and said, 'Gaochang is a native land of the Han Dynasty.'
If the Pugu family didn't have a deep hatred against the descendants of the Guiyi Army and the Anxi Army, if they weren't so fat and mouth-watering, and had a close relationship with the Khitan people, they would really be a good candidate to win over.
When the officials behind him had finished cursing, Jielibiga waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.
The majestic Uighur King of Gaochang stepped down from the throne. He stared hard at Wu Dal'er, not Wang Jiulang.
"Since the Heavenly King can only be given the title of Heavenly King by being recommended by various tribes, then I would like to ask, who does your Lord rely on to be crowned with the title of Heavenly King?"
Before Wu Darer could say anything, Wang Jiulang, who had been passed by Jieli Bijia, suddenly approached Jieli Bijia again. The distance was so close that the Uighur guards had already drawn their swords.
"My Lord, the Heavenly King, the tribes of the Suiye Uighurs, the tribes of Shuleba Ximi, the Saman Persians, the Zhenyuan Kingdom of Tianzhu, the sixty-one tribes of Xiang Shatuo, the nineteen tribes of Dadan, and the Qingtang Tubo
, there are twenty-seven surnames in Tuyuhun, a total of more than a hundred tribes, one hundred thousand iron armor, and the support of millions of people.
Dare I ask who supports Khan's title of Heavenly King? Could it be that he is the one supported by the people in the royal palace?"
Wang Jiulang's face flushed with excitement, and his saliva sprayed on Jie Lipijia's clothes.
The whole person's mental state is like a snarling mastiff, and the information revealed all over the body is.
Kill me! Come and kill me!
Jie Lipijia, who was originally full of momentum, actually flinched under Wang Jiulang's mad dog tricks.
Because he could see from Wang Jiulang's eyes that this guy was simply looking for death. He wanted to use his own blood to gain an excuse for the Liang Kingdom to send troops!
At this moment, Jielibiga suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him to step down from the throne.
As the king of a country, how can he personally come down to confront others?
This should be what the ministers below did!
Thinking of this, Jialipika wanted to go back and return to the throne.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiulang was completely in a state of madness. He actually reached out to grab Jie Lipijia while still screaming.
"Khan hasn't answered someone's question yet. If the title of Heavenly King is not respected by all ethnic groups, do we have to give up the title now and worship our Lord as a minister?"
Jie Libijia didn't care, but Wang Jiulang grabbed the hem of his robe, and he became very angry.
The guards beside him also rushed over and hit Wang Jiulang with their scabbards, causing Wang Jiulang's head to break and blood to flow, but Wang Jiulang refused to let go.
In the distance, Wu Darer and the envoys did not move, and even a few smiles appeared on their faces.
It seems that Wang Jiulang was beaten, but it was Jie Lipijia who lost face and could even be said to have lost his prestige.
At this moment, some Gaochang officials finally came to their senses. Gaochang Uighur Left Prime Minister Jie Jiamisi ran over, pointed at Wang Jiulang on the ground and cursed.
"What an arrogant Hexi slave slave. Both your lord and my lord are the lords of great countries. How dare you ask my lord to become a vassal? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Wang Jiulang laughed loudly, pointed at Jiejia Misi on the ground and shouted.
"In the past, Pugujun was a general under the command of our lord's great-grandfather Taibao Gong. Khan was Pugujun's great-grandson. Isn't he a minister of my lord?"
Jielibiga took advantage of Wang Jiulang's pointing finger and finally pulled out the hem of his robe that was caught in Wang Jiulang's hand. He roared angrily.
"The bold thieves dare to call my ancestors by their names. Pull them out. Pull them all out. We must leave Gaochang today!"
Wu Darer laughed in his heart. Jieli Pika was treated like this and he didn't dare to kill them. He was already cowarded and could continue to provoke him.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It is impossible to find out who the Khan of the Gaochang Uyghurs was at this time. There is too little information. We can only use the information of Jieli, Pika and Heavenly King who were born more than ten years later. However, this is probably not safe.
I was scared of the guy who compiled Russian history.
