When the Youxian King Tu Qitang was young, he was famous for his handsomeness and versatility. He could play the huqin and flute and touching his heart. Whenever he sang "I lost my Qilian Mountains, so that my animals could not stop, and my Yanzhi Mountains, so that my women could not have color", everyone heard it, and the women looked at him with tears.

This is completely different from the old-fashioned Xulu Quanqu.

But now, Xulu Quanqu has become the Great Shanyu, and the Right Xian King is still the Right Xian King, and the territory has been reduced by most.

Over the past ten years, Tuqitang was defeated and lost the Western Regions. He no longer had the spirit of recruiting Han scholars in his early years. He wanted to seek major events and enjoyed drinking and women's beauty all day long. Even his political attitudes have changed from the most active development of the hawks who wanted to move westward and annex Wusun to the doves who hoped to make peace with the Han Dynasty and defend the last territory of the right land.

The custom of the Huns is that the first month of the Han Dynasty will be held in the Chanyu court to worship ancestors. Although the weather is still cold in January in the north of the Mo, the Youxian King still came. Last year, he just sent off the prince of the Shanyu, Ji Houshan, to be peaceful in the Han and the Huns. There is no need to worry that the Han people suddenly come over, and the Youxian King is in a relaxed mood.

But when Shanyu sent Zuo Dadanghu to inform him to go to the golden account to discuss matters, looking at Zuo Dadanghu's serious expression, the Youxian King felt a sudden slap in his heart.

"Could it be that my affair with Zhuanqu and Quanqu were discovered by Xulu Quanqu?"

The Shanyu had many clans, and the Zhuanqulan was equivalent to the queen of the Han Dynasty. The Zhuanqulan was the noble daughter of the Lan family, the leader of the three prominent clans of the Xiongnu. She was called Huaer on the grassland. The Huyanbu Shanyu married her, but the Shanyu was unable to give birth to her first, and after her death, the new Shanyu took over according to the customs of the Xiongnu.

However, Xulu Quan Qu Shanyu was nearly 40 years old and had a huge harem. He did not like Zhuanqu Yan's family. He regarded the daughter of the right general as the Da Yan's family, and was very neglected to Zhuanqu Yan's family, which made this young woman who was in the age of tigers and wolves alone in the incense tent, which allowed the Right King, who no longer wanted to fight, to take advantage of the opportunity.

Since the meeting in Longcheng last year, the Youxian King secretly had an affair with the Zhuanqu Yan family. The lonely man and the resentful woman were both frustrated, and they had a common language. Their feelings rose from the body to the soul, and they became more and more bold.

According to Zhuanqu Yan's family, they were chewing with the Right Xianwang in the wild, saying that Xulu Quan Qu Shanyu was indeed very weak, far inferior to the Right Xianwang.

The Youxian King, who was flirting with this sentence before, was also very weak at this moment. He rode to the golden tent and could only resist the urge to turn around and escape. Although Xulu Quanqu was far away from Zhuanqu Yan, it did not mean that he was willing to let her hook up with others. What else could Youxian King say: "I know this is not good, but my sister-in-law is so beautiful?"

After entering the Shanyu's golden tent, he found that King Hao Su Xing Weiyang and the twenty-four chiefs were all there, while the Great Shanyu Xulu Quanqu sat in the middle and scolded King Zuo Guli with a calm face to scold Wusi (Zhizhi).

"The Great Shanyu, I really didn't burn the city of surrender!"

It turned out that since Huhanye went south at the end of last year, his brother Zhizhi took over the left land, and the burning of the surrendered city occurred immediately. The Han army stationed in Wuyuan County immediately sent envoys to the Huns, severely condemning the matter, saying that he had reported to the emperor and asked the Huns to give an explanation.

The first thing the Da Shanyu suspected was his eldest son, who was competing for the position of prince with Huhanye and opposed reconciliation with the Han Dynasty. Could it be that he deliberately sent someone to burn the city and wanted the peace talks between the two countries to fail?

For similar things, the father of the Lan family of Zhuanqu, who was neglected by him, Lanqiu, who served as Zuo Daqiuqu, had already done it once. The year before yesterday, Quan Qu Shanyu of Xulu first succeeded to the throne and summoned noble people to marry Han, but it was ruined by Zuo Daqiu.

Lan Qiqu asked himself to go to the south to guard the King Huluzi, but deliberately wanted to take advantage of the Han Dynasty's internal struggle to fight to the frontier to grab a wave. Fortunately, three cavalry surrendered to the Han Dynasty and said that the Huns wanted to be a foe. This led to the Han Dynasty's emperor's issuance of the key points of the border cavalry, and sent the border general Zhao Chongguo and Fu Jiezi to send out five thousand cavalry, divided into three teams, went out to the frontier for hundreds of miles, and captured dozens of Huns and returned. The peace talks were delayed for a year.

Afterwards, the Great Shanyu dismissed Zuo Daqiu. He also realized that the number of oppositions to peace talks within the Huns was huge. They held on to the pride of the Huns in the past and could not let go, thinking that they could repeat the glory of the Huns' victory over the Han army and capturing Ershi.

Therefore, he fought against a faction and was in the same power as the leader of Huhanye and the Right King.

Zhizhi did this with another advantage: Huhanye was detained by the Han people and was not allowed to return.

In the past few decades, it has been normal for the two countries to seize each other's envoys. When the conversation often occurs, the relationship between Han and Huns fell to freezing point, so the envoys did not have to go back. The Shanyu was angry and kept all the Han envoys. The Han envoys kept the Huns for more than ten generations, and the Huns sent to the Han Dynasty always kept them, and they had to stop at the same number of people.

Zhizhi was extremely suspicious, so the Great Shanyu tried it again and again, but Zhizhi denied it and almost wanted to kill himself to show his innocence. The Great Shanyu believed him and began to stare at the main battle of the little Wang Wanqi Captain, and they all separated their relationship.

When asked in the end, Xu Lu Quanqu got upset and cursed: "Is it because the Han people themselves can burn it?"

The Right Xianwang came out and said, "Da Shanyu, this matter may really be done by the Han people!"

The rich experience of confrontation with Ren Hong can increase IQ. The Right King told the elders about the losses he suffered when he was in the Western Regions. It has been ten years, and the path he has taken over the past ten years is basically Ren Hong's routine.

From the empty camp where people kept coming and going under Loulan City, to the heroic pass built overnight by the Iron Gate, to the plan of disagreement, and finally the turn of the Wusun War, seven battles and seven victories, and the betrayal of Wu Zongnian.

Don’t forget that Ren Hong’s reputation in recent years that he used his strategy to burn the surrender city. It’s really like his work.

The Right King said: "Xiao Wang once heard from Han advisers that, like Hu, the Han emperor's ministers were inconsistent with each other. This may be the cause of the Han people's war-holding faction, or perhaps it was Ren Hong's conspiracy!"

...

In Chang'an, who had just received the news, the ministers also discussed the matter in Chengming Palace. Today, the emperor Liu Xun specially refused to attend the court meeting and ordered the two Grand Marshals and Prime Ministers and Censors to preside over the presidency, so that the ministers of the two factions would not have any concerns and let go of the quarrel.

The first to play were the younger generations. After the Marquis of Yicheng Gan Yanshou became adults, he had a tendency to move closer to Han. He shouted: "I am a native of the North. A hundred years ago, the Huns burned the Beidi and returned to the Central Palace. Emperor Xiaowen took this as a great humiliation. He became angry and then bowed to the military uniforms and personally controlled the horses. He ran from the six counties with good family talents to shoot up to the forest, taught in the war, gathered elite soldiers from the world, and the army was Yu Guangwu, Feng Tang, and the generals, and wanted to personally conquer the Huns!"

"It's a pity that I met Liu Xingju, the King of Jibei, rebelled, and the matter was stopped."

"Today, the Huns burned my Han town again and destroyed the surrendered city, but the Han Dynasty is no longer the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago!"

"That's right!" Xin Qingji, the Marquis of Xin Yang and the Weiwei of Jianzhang, responded.

"The Rong Di was not trusted, and Xiao Hui, and the Empress Gao obeyed but did not violate it. The Xiongnu bandits did not stop. The Shanyu instead made arrogance. He arrested Xiaowen and went to the market to pass the pass. His wife gave Han daughters to increase his bribes. He was a thousand golds a year, but the Xiongnu were repeatedly bound by him and the border was repeatedly harmed. This would be of no use, and it was already a clear effect. It should be defeated by martial arts!"

The Han Dynasty was indeed no longer a small victim a hundred years ago. At least the anti-warriors dared not say like Ji Bu scolded Fan Kuai: "Xin Qingji, Gan Shengshou can be killed."

The smart man like Wei Xiang stopped talking, only Xiao Wangzhi said stubbornly: "This matter is still to be found out. The city of surrender is empty. The Huns will not burn it early or late. Why did they burn it when the Zuo Xianwang entered the court? Or the heavenly things are dry and they will catch fire..."

"The five vassal states said that it was man-made, so why did they choose this node to set fire and get into evil with the Han Dynasty?"

Wu Zongnian smiled and said, "Doctor Xiao does not understand the nature of the Huns. He is like a jackal. His children are not filial to his parents, and his parents also abandon their children at any time. In the past, Toman Shanyu had a prince Maodun, and later he had a young son. Toman wanted to abolish Maodun and establish his young son. So he asked Maodun to be a hostage in Yuezhi. As soon as Maodun arrived in Yuezhi, Toman Shanyu rushed to Yuezhi. The King of Yuezhi wanted to kill Maodun, but Maodun stole his good horse and returned home. Later, Maodun shot Toman with a whistle and usurped the throne as Shanyu."

"The same is true today. I heard that the eldest son of the Shanyu had a deceased Hutuwusi, who defeated Dingling's rebellion and was the King of Zuoguli. After the Zuoxian King went south, he was in charge of the affairs of the Zuodi. This matter was either because the Xiongnu Chanyu wanted to abolish the legitimate and establish the eldest son, or Hutuwusi wanted to murder his brother!"

This speculation is reasonable, and Ren Hong made the final decision just right.

"My Lords! Please see what this is!"

As one of the hosts of today's discussion, he clapped his hands and asked someone to walk up with a sable fur.

"This is the horse that Shanyu asked the Zuo Xian King to offer to His Majesty. The fur is indeed a good marten. Look at it again, what is this!"

Under Ren Hong's instructions, the imperial physician ordered to be careful, wearing cloth gloves and covering his face with a scarf, turning over the sable fur, cutting it open. After searching for a while, he took a piece of sewn together and placed it on a wooden plate for the ministers to see, but he saw that the color of the leather was not like a marten, but rather like...

"Rat skin!"

Ren Hong announced the answer and asked the Imperial Physician Ling to show Zhang Anshi first: "Grandmaster, do you think so?"

Why do you ask this old man to lie down? After all, Zhang Anshi is Zhang Tang's son. When Zhang Tang was a child, he went away to wash the ripped holes in his clothes and interrogated the carriage and filial rats. His family-born skills were passed down. It was a bit inappropriate for Zhang Anshi to say that it would be inappropriate for him to recognize him.

But Zhang Anshi really squinted his eyes and pretended to identify it for a while, and his answer was ambiguous, neither saying yes nor saying no, so he continued to pass it down because he saw the imperial physician orders very cautiously, and the ministers were also a little scared. The Huns often had plague, which was something they heard about.

No one was sure, until Su Wu.

"I was moved to the Beihai by the Huns and did not receive any food. I once dug wild rats to eat them, and even chewed the rat skin." Su Wu said as if he was self-deprecatingly, and took a few glances, sure.

"It's indeed rat skin."

As for whether it was a Hun rat, who could tell it?

Ren Hong nodded: "This is sewn in the sable fur, with a fake and real rat skin! It was searched by Shaofu and Dianfu. Almost every piece was sewn secretly!"

The ministers became serious. Of course, this was not the "art of disgust" that Huns used inferior products as good people, but involved deceiving the emperor and having ulterior motives.

There are rumors among the people that Huo Qubing's death was related to Hu Wu's art of perseverance. When the Huns heard that the Han army was about to arrive, they sent witches to lay cattle and sheep in advance on the roads and in the water that the Han army passed by, and used to curse the Han army.

Ren Hong also heard a conspiracy theory in the streets and alleys of Chang'an: the witchcraft disaster was planned by the Huns.

Because Emperor Wu of Han used Jiang Chong and Hu Wu to investigate the case, and most of these Hu Wu Wu brought the Han court to the Han court. Emperor Wu of Han sought immortality in his later years. The alchemists said that Penglai in the East China Sea was not a chance, and the Queen Mother of the West did not come to meet, so they began to use Yue Wu and Hu Wu took a different approach.

Although those Hu witches were burned to death by Prince Wei, the witchcraft disaster had already happened.

Later, the overlapping Houmatong, who was later won by Jin Il-jeong's wrestling, even captured the nobles of the Huns, and the nobles disclosed something.

"The Shanyu left the emperor's horse fur and often sent the witch to pray!"

The Han Dynasty and the Huns did not keep fighting, but talked about fighting. During the peace talks, the envoys would give each other some gifts. The Han Dynasty gave silk, while the Huns used good horses and sable furs. The horses and turtles were tied up and cursed, so that the Han Dynasty emperor would ride on them and then fell to death. A piece of sick rat skin was sewn in the sable fur, hoping that the emperor would die early when he became sick and weak.

Now, the Huns have used the same trick again! The curse of Yansheng and Hu Wu is, in the eyes of the Han people, is simply a weapon of mass destruction!

For a moment, all the ministers began to retreat, far away from the sick mouse skin.

Of course, Zhang Anshi also secretly speculated in his heart that these rat skins might have been the tacit approval of Ren Hong by the emperor and caught a few rats and stitched them in. Of course, he would not say it out. Since the Huns did have a criminal record, it was difficult for the Confucian officials in the court to cleanse them.

Now, the nature of the problem is much more serious. Sending troops to offend the frontier and burning the surrendered city can also be said to be a personal act of Hutu Wusi's attempt to harm his brother. However, the desire to win is tortured by the Emperor of Han, who is intolerable!

Some neutral officials have changed their positions, such as the censor Yu Dingguo, shook his head and said, "The Huns have no sincerity in peace talks, and they will never die!"

Weiyang Guardian Han Gandang was the first to respond: "The king was worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Such a big thing, unless the Da Shanyu personally came to pay his respects, he would be unable to explain it!"

"What if the Shanyu did not come?"

Another voice sounded, but it was Liu Xun, the emperor who said he was not in court today, appeared in the hall alive, and the ministers bowed and said long live.

Of course, it was impossible for the Great Shanyu to come. Before the Confucian officials found any opportunity to refute, there was no room for negotiation.

At this time, anyone who is a legal guest inappropriate manner will definitely be sent to the frontier and become the second in Dishan.

Since Zhang Anshi and Ren Hong, the ministers' voices shook Chengming Palace, and the drum beats of the war have been the first to ring in Weiyang Palace:

"I am willing to receive the long tassel, and I will be imprisoned by the Xiongnu Khan and the Khan. Please ask Your Majesty to ask him for his crimes!"

...

ps: In the fourth year of Jianping, Shanyu wrote a letter to the court for five years. At that time, Emperor Ai was sick, and some people said that the Huns came from the upper reaches to get sick of others.

The Western Han Dynasty had always been afraid of the curse of the Huns, believing that every time the Shanyu went to Han, there were major changes in the country, which was unlucky. Emperor Ai of Han was in poor health and even wanted the Shanyu to go back and not to harm me. He wrote a letter to the Huangmen Lang Yangxiong to advise him. But whenever the Xiongnu Shanyu came, he would find someone to make a fortune, find a Feng Shui treasure land to meet, and suppress the evil spirit of the Shanyu.
