The news that Chu Qing was returning to the capital was concealed, but the Liang people's delegation who entered the capital first made it known to everyone.
Early on the next morning, Chai Yuansi sent a young minister with subordinate officials to the north gate to greet the envoy.
It's not that there is no integrity, but it's the proper etiquette. If the Chang Dynasty envoy went to the Golden Wolf King Khan, the Golden Wolf King Khan would have to send someone to greet him at the city gate, if they had a city gate.
Eighty-one Liang envoys and 400 frontier troops were sent outside the city gate.
As soon as the officials of Honglu Temple left the city, the four hundred silent frontier troops pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads, and ran into the moonlight with the sound of whips.
Bian Jun is super cool and doesn’t need to be polite to anyone.
Mainly because they had Liang's weapons and armor hanging under their horses' bellies, and they were afraid someone would ask for them if they left late.
Look at the eighty-one envoys, riding on horses, all with the same expression.
(╬￣俣)
The leader is called Ashina, who is proficient in Chinese. Including him, these Liang people behave as if everyone owes them a million dollars, and they are too lazy to be polite to the people of Honglu Temple, so they just enter the capital.
, went to the banquet arranged by Honglu Temple.
On the way, they also made it clear that they wanted to see the emperor of Chang Dynasty, the young emperor Chang Chengyou.
According to the rules, they should first learn the etiquette of meeting the emperor. However, these envoys were very arrogant. They said they would only stay for a few days to meet the emperor and discuss whether the two countries were at war or in peace. They did not have that much time to write.
Liang people are very crazy, and the officials of Honglu Temple are even more crazy, but they are ecstatic.
War or peace?
These four words made them ecstatic.
Everyone knows that Liang Rong is going to attack Chang on a large scale. If they can negotiate a peace, it will be a great achievement if they can negotiate a peace under the control of their Honglu Temple officials.
As soon as Liang people settled down, Chai Yuansi, the minister of Honglu Temple, came to the Fanguan courtyard in person to visit Ashina.
Chai Yuansi, who was wearing an official robe and had a strong figure, came to the main hall with a spring-breathing smile on his face.
"I, Chai Yuansi, are the Minister of Honglu Temple. Your envoy has been traveling and traveling all the way. I shouldn't have disturbed you late at night. However, I heard that I understand the purpose of your envoy's visit. I want to ask you something, so I can report it to Emperor Dachang tomorrow.
."
Zhengzhi Ashina is an old man, over sixty years old, lean and dark, with a somewhat wary look on his face.
"My name is Ashina, the most loyal partner of the Golden Wolf King, the Chiyan leader of the Golden Wolf tent, and the Liangrong Imperial Preceptor."
Chai Yuansi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly saluted again: "It turns out to be Master Ashina, I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time."
Let’s talk about Chiyan first. On the Liangrong side, the tribal leader is called Nayan. After many tribes formed an alliance, or unified to follow the Golden Wolf King and gave orders to them, they were called Chiyan. On the Changchao side, they were basically Zaiyan.
Fu meant it, if the Golden Wolf King is the emperor, then this Chi Yan is Zai Fu.
Let’s talk about the national preceptor. Although he is a nomad, he also calls himself “guo”. This national preceptor roughly means a religious leader. If Confucianism in the Chang Dynasty can be regarded as a religion, then Ashina can be regarded as a great Confucian.
It's hard to say what a great scholar is about his official position. It's similar to the Imperial Academy offering wine, but he still has real power.
This is equivalent to saying that Ashina is considered the second most powerful person in Liangrong. Under one person, the Golden Wolf King is above him and he is below.
Chai Yuansi's face turned red.
He saw one thing, sincerity, full of sincerity. He never expected that the number two figure from Liangrong would actually come in person.
Ashina was proficient in Chinese and Han family etiquette. His face was a bit wary, but he still made tea as the host and handed it to Chai Yuansi.
The two parties sat down, and Ashina asked straight to the point: "How many days can I see your emperor?"
"I am the minister of Honglu Temple, and I will arrange this matter. I just want to ask, why did your envoy meet with me, Emperor Dachang?"
"Fight with you, or not. Fight, Liang Rong cavalry, break through your city gates. If not, we can make peace, just like in the past, the two countries have made peace."
Chai Yuansi's heartbeat quickened and he asked cautiously: "If we negotiate for peace, are there any conditions?"
"Yes." Ashina's eyes flashed with a smile: "We need two people."
"Who?"
"The leader of the wolf-catching army, the yellow sand devil, and the sweaty captain of ten thousand men. The wolf-catching army captured our people. They mistakenly thought that he was our prince. No, he was just the Golden Wolf King.
The Khan's favorite captain of ten thousand men, leave these two to us, and I will negotiate peace with you on behalf of our Great Khan."
"Commander of the wolf-catching army?"
Chai Yuan thought for a long time, then his expression changed slightly: "But your surname is Chu?"
"I don't know. Your businessman said that he is the weapons supervisor at your border. The Great Khan wants him and wants him to pay with blood!"
Chai Yuansi was confused: "Blood debt must be paid with blood. What does this mean?"
When Chai Yuansi asked, Ashina was stunned and looked at the former suspiciously: "Your court doesn't know what he did on the grassland. Don't you have any military reports or oral messages?"
Chai Yuansi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, this Chu Qing is not ashamed. He said that he killed many of your princes and robbed your food and grass, which made many colleagues in the court laugh. Now, the court has taken him away.
official position, in order to take credit..."
Halfway through the words, Chai Yuansi quickly stopped talking. After all, everyone is their own master, and there is no need to tell the other party such things.
But Ashina's pupils shrank sharply, her expression was extremely confused, and she asked tentatively: "Is he a liar?"
He didn't have a good impression of Chu Qing at first, and Chai Yuansi didn't have any scruples: "Yes, the suspicion of taking merit has been confirmed. The imperial court sent people to the border to bring him back and bring him back to the capital for punishment. It should take about more than a month.
You will arrive in Beijing."
A trace of ecstasy flashed across Ashina's face, and he quickly said: "Send him and the people he captured out of the border and hand them over to our people for us to negotiate a peace."
Chai Yuansi was instantly excited: "Is this true?"
"Really, I have brought the credentials. I, on behalf of our Great Khan, will negotiate peace with your country and reconcile with it. We will be like brothers. Just like before, we will not invade each other."
Chai Yuansi was not so stupid after all, so he couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want Chu Qing, and what does the noble envoy just said, blood debt must be paid with blood, what does it mean?"
Ashina pretended to be extremely angry and said: "He led the wolf-catching army to massacre our herdsmen. He killed many, many innocent herdsmen and cut off their heads. As you said, he pretended to be a military hero.
The heads of the princes also robbed the grain and grass of innocent herdsmen and brought them into your city, saying that they were the grain and grass of our rangers. He is a liar. He is a liar in your Chang Dynasty and an enemy. He is also an enemy of our Liangrong because he killed innocent people.
The herdsmen, we want him to pay with blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Yuansi stood up suddenly and saluted Ashina, so excited that he trembled.
"This matter will be taken care of by me. Within three days, your envoy will go to court. You and I will work together to expose his treacherous face to the world!"
