Chapter 319
Sitting on the tiger skin throne in the middle of the big tent, Hu Yan Shan Yu looks less than sixteen or seventeen years old, compared to the Huns who are generally seen with a thick body and a large waist and a round waist, they are slightly thinner, their skin is also very white, and even a little pale, although their face has the characteristics of the Huns with a high nose and deep eyes, a round head and small eyes, but it is already a little better-looking....
He wears a gold bracelet, a white mink hat on his head, and three white mink tails hang down on each side of the hat, scattered on his chest with his small braids hanging down his ears, he wears a sheepskin placket, a gold chest guard inlaid with gold silk on his chest, and a few white silk silk tapestry, hanging straight to the ground, the lower body is crotch-fitting pants, a leather skirt, and his feet are wearing white sheepskin boots, except for individual decorations, either gold or white....
I don't know when the Xiongnu began to be white, especially Shan Yu as the king of the Xiongnu, whether it is the tent of the royal court or the clothes on the body, it is basically white, which is in sharp contrast with the Qin who is still black and the Han who is still red
! ! In recent decades, as the status of Han officials in the Xiongnu royal court has become higher and higher, and their authority has become heavier, this aesthetic preference has gradually changed, and now Li Guanghong sees the large tent of the royal court, the pillars supported in the middle and the earthen wall around the tent, have all been painted red, indicating that Han culture has quietly changed many customs of the Xiongnu.
Speaking of Hu Yan Shan Yu, he can also be regarded as an iconic figure, and the symbol is not a good thing, but the process of his accession to the throne, which brought turmoil to the upper aristocracy of the Xiongnu and sowed the seeds of division....
The father of Hu Yan Shan Yu is Fox Deer Gu Shan Yu. In the second year of the first century (85 BC), Fox Deer Gushan died of illness, and left his last words before his death: "My son (referring to the Zuoxian King) is few, I can't govern the country, and I will establish my younger brother Yougu Li King!" But this decision caused strong dissatisfaction among the Xiongnu aristocracy at that time....
Zhu Yan Yan Yu's mother Zhuanqu Yan Shi was unwilling, so she and Wei Lujiao claimed Shan Yu's death, and made her son Zuo Gu Li Wang Shan Yu Chu Yan Shan Yu. At this moment, how could the King of Zuo Xian and King Li of the Right Valley be convinced, and they did not do less to disobey the newly ascended Ju Yan and disobey and pull their hind legs.
To complicate matters further, Fox Gul Shan then accepted the throne of Shan Yu only after accepting his brother Zen's concession. Out of selfishness, Fox Deer Gu did not let his nephew succeed to the throne of Zuo Xian, but added a Xiongnu noble king called King Ri Xian, above the Right Xian King and below the Zuo Xian King, to fool his nephew, so the Sun Zhu King Xianxian Shan and jealous of his uncle's family, when Hulu Gu Shan was still there, he was still a little jealous, now that his uncle is dead, Xin Li Shan Yu can not obey the public, he even took the opportunity to make trouble, did not listen to orders, which greatly reduced the prestige of the Hanhai King Court at that time! !
You know
, according to the customs of the Xiongnu, the left is the elder, the brother and the son inherit the father's inheritance! What does it mean?
That is, the succession system of the single throne is according to the left and right wise kings, the left and right Gu Li kings, and then the brothers and sons of Shan Yu, only after the people in the order give up inheritance, can they continue to row down in order, which is both a custom within the grassland tribe, and also equivalent to the covenant between the Xiongnu royal families, but now, whether it is the dead Chuhulu Gu Shan Yu, or the Zhuanqu Yan clan, Wei Lu and Hu Yan Shan Yu both broke the rules of the game, directly crossed several heirs in line, and crossed the level to promote people they trust, isn't this Hu Lai!
The big guys were originally in order to get together to live together, and by the way, they went to the south to rob, and in the upper count, no one is anyone's relatives, and the affection is not so strong, and now they don't even talk about the rules, so how can they play happily together?
Therefore, since the unification of the Xiongnu Empire, the first large-scale infighting between the upper aristocracy of the Xiongnu sowed the seeds!
The Zhuanqu Yan clan of Juyan Shan Yu was originally the daughter of a small tribal leader in southern Monan, whose name is no longer known, and after his own tribe was destroyed, he was brought back to the Hanhai King Court as a trophy and offered to the fox deer Gushan under the account. It may be that her ancestors have Han blood, she looks much better than ordinary Xiongnu women, and she can speak Chinese, and even read books, quite temperamental, was favored by the fox deer at that time, and was included as the Yan clan (the Xiongnu are different from Han customs, Han customs are monogamous and polygamous, Xiongnu are polygamous, the wives are called Yan, and the boss of the wife is the Zhuanqu Yan clan), and later because of the favor of Shan Yu, he was established as the Zhuanqu Yan clan.
According to the Xiongnu tradition, the inheritance of the father's inheritance by brothers and sons is not a joke, but a real and comprehensive inheritance, including the wife, so whether it is the eldest son of Fox Lu Gu Shan Yu, King Zuo Xian, or his younger brother King Yougu Liwang, according to custom, the Zhuanqu Yan clan must marry him as the Yan clan. And this Zhuanqu Yan clan is from Monan, he is familiar with Han culture, and he is very resistant to such bad habits in his heart, and he is unwilling to succumb to the arrangement of fate, so he secretly conspired with Wei Lu to push his thirteen-year-old son Ju Yan to the throne, so as not to be inherited by others as an item......
By the way, Wei Lu, Wei Lu this person, can also be regarded as a legend, his father is a Hu people living near Changshui (present-day Lantian in Shaanxi), may have ancestors to trade here, so settled down, Wei Lu has been influenced by Han culture since childhood, people are very handsome, can also sing and dance, because of chance was favored by Li Yannian (Li Guangli's younger brother) of Xie Lu Capital, recommended to Emperor Wudi of Han. Li Yannian is a famous music master during the Han Wudi period, a famous beautiful man at that time, but he has been "corrupted", and he is responsible for serving the emperor's dog in the palace, Li Yannian is smart and clever, and he has learned a body of musical skills, and is liked by Emperor Wu, famous "There are beautiful people in the north, peerless and independent, caring for the city, and then caring for the country." Ning does not know the city and the country, beautiful people are difficult to get" peerless song, written by Li Yannian.
The genes of the Li family are good, whether it is Li Guangli or Li Xiaomei, they are both outstanding in appearance, and they are quite valued by Emperor Wudi of Han in their respective fields, Mrs. Li's son almost became a prince, but the fate is bad, the Li family is beautiful, and the end is not very good....
Wei Lu is the same, because he has both Han and Hu bloodlines, handsome looks, was recommended by Li Yannian to Emperor Wudi of Han to engage in diplomatic work, in the first four years, he was ordered to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, and was favored by Marquis Shan Yu, repeatedly retained, Wei Lu did not agree, and later on the way back to Han, he heard that his Bole Li Yannian was involved in the case of his brother Li Bing's "rape of the harem", and the whole family was blamed, so he turned back and surrendered to the Xiongnu, and was later given a great task.
However, Wei Lu this person has no other strengths except good looks, his culture is limited, although compared to the uncivilized Xiongnu, naturally he is a high fighter, but really let him govern the country, it is purely difficult to be a person, moreover, Wei Lu saw more of the strength of the Han Empire, and then looked at the backwardness of the Xiongnu, his heart is naturally cold, so his biggest political proposition is that the strong Han is irresistible, only to be with the family, is the right way, creating the Xiongnu Empire "peaceful coexistence" This political faction, later Li Guangli also surrendered to the Xiongnu, proposed that the Han Empire was not so terrible, as long as the military training was proper and the military strategy was correct, it was not without the confidence to compete with the Han Empire, and became a hawkish political star of the Xiongnu, which was deeply valued by the fox deer at that time.
Wei Lu saw that Li Guangli sang against himself as soon as he came, and the key was to sing the board and eyes, and the limelight overshadowed him, moreover, although Li Guangli was a scumbag in the Han general, but in the Xiongnu who lacked talents, that is, one top talent, this absolutely could not be tolerated, so he designed to kill Li Guangli to facilitate him to continue to promote his pacifist proposition....
Li Guanghong kept living the political situation of the Xiongnu Empire that his teacher Zhang Mingshan told him, while curiously looking around at the famous Hanhai King Court, but his heart was full of slander:
"The name of the Xiongnu King of Nuo, but the tent is too shabby, needless to say what layers of Xiongnu, Qionglou Yuyu, magnificent, carved beams and paintings, golden splendor, you can even make some decent decorations, what does it mean to hang a golden horn bull's head on the back of your chair? No wonder one or two stupid people know the rampage..." Zhang
Mingshan next to him knew his little disciple too well, and knew that he must be thinking cranky in his heart, although the Xiongnu king is just a grass king, there are no rules to talk about, but after all, they are deep behind enemy lines, being a thief with a weak heart, and they can't be too ostentatious, so they coughed lightly and reminded Li Guanghong to pay attention to civility and politeness, don't be so presumptuous
! ! As a result, they didn't do anything yet, but the kettle Yan Shan Yu on the throne stood up with a laugh, walked down the high platform with an appreciative face, circled around Li Guanghong, and said a series of Xiongnu words to Li Guanghong happily, Li Guanghong and Zhang Mingshan listened to a rough idea, to the effect that Li Guanghong was good-looking, tall, strong and handsome, and Hu Yan Shan Yu said that he liked it very much, and liked it very much!
Why, Xiao Ye looks good, then use you to say, you turn over and over to say that you like me, what do you mean? There won't be Long Yangzhi, right? It's really wrong! Ugly people do a lot of weird!"
While thinking, the body involuntarily reacted, the goosebumps on the body were hidden in the clothes and could not be seen, but the clenched fists and the tight body seemed to have some kind of attack...
The surrounding guards were already staring at the two, and now seeing Li Guanghong making a bad move, he suddenly "choked" loudly, and they all drew their knives...
Zhang Mingshan quickly pulled Li Guanghong, and repeatedly said in a broken Xiongnu language that his nephew was not sensible, and rushed into the honorable Shan Yu, asking for forgiveness for his young ignorance and so on, and Shan Yu also stopped his guards, showing more appreciation for Li Guanghong....
Hu Yan was weak and sick since childhood, could not ride a horse, could not pull a bow, in the Xiongnu nobles who respected their strength, he was quite snubbed, and he himself was quite inferior, if it were not for sheltering his mother, he actually did not want to be this Shan Yu.
At first, he didn't have any ambitions, and he didn't want to be an enemy with anyone, but once he ascended to the position of Shan Yu, he knew that even if he was harmless and tolerant to others, it was useless, those people didn't care what he thought, they just wanted to drive him out of power and snatch Shan Yu's position, as for him and his mother, either they would die, or they would follow the customs of the Xiongnu, marry into the Yan clan, and he would also follow and call him father, and let others bully....
He grew up with his mother since he was a child, and learned a lot of the "etiquette system" of the Han family from his mother, and understood that this behavior like an animal in the eyes of the Han people is called "incest", and the way of disorder is not tolerated by heaven and earth!
Therefore, for the sake of him and his mother's thoughtfulness, Hu Yan Shan Yu is also trying to cultivate his own strength, but his mother Zhuanqu Yan Clan itself was captured, and did not have the support of his own clan and brother, and most of the tribes left by his father were taken by his brother Zuoxian King, and the other small part was taken away by Yougu Li King, and his cousin Ri Zhu Wang Xianxian Shan was very powerful, but he hated his own family to the bone
! ! Looking around, the entire Dragon City is surrounded by enemies, there are no allies, maybe one day, his royal court will be slaughtered, and he is worried when he thinks of this....
The two people he can rely on the most are Han, one is Li Ling, the other is Wei Lu, although Li Ling has never really served the Xiongnu, but his prestige among the Xiongnu nobles is quite high, he does not oppose the throne of Hu Yan Shan Yu, that is, the greatest support for him, and Wei Lu... Well, Wei Lu is loyal to himself or his mother bought his body in exchange, but Wei Lu is indeed good-looking, and his mother may really like it....
In order to consolidate his throne, he also spent a lot of thought, such as planning a series of ambushes, killing several Han generals who often hunted in the territory of the Xiongnu, and capturing a small famous Li Shi, in addition, he was keenly aware of the contraction policy of the Han Empire, so he planned last year's big battle against Wusun and Guizi, won a big victory, gained a lot, and by the way, also attacked Luntai and Quli, although the city was not taken, but the surrounding tuntian and population were attacked a lot, which was regarded as the destruction of these two wedges of the Han Empire, which helped him initially accumulate a little prestige, but this prestige did not directly bring him benefits, on the contrary, let the attack task of the king of the day and the right sage king greatly increase the power, really press the gourd up scoop, people have a headache!
Now the sky has eyes, unexpectedly sent such a young and powerful tribal leader to his eyes, and his tribal strength is not bad, a medium tribe of 10,000 people, actually raised fifteen hundred cavalry, indicating that this young leader has some ability, if he can include it under his command....
......
Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong were still dizzy until they returned to the tribe, feeling that their veins were full of wine...
From that day on, they were treated warmly by Zhu Yan Yan Shan Yu, holding a grand bonfire party for them next to the king's tent, and also called many of Hu Yan Shan Yu's henchmen to celebrate their return to the north, in addition, Zhuan Qu Yan also personally came forward, not only encouraged them a few words, but also personally drank a dime of goat milk wine with them, and that Shan Yu First Minister Wei Lu also personally attended the banquet to welcome them, which made Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong "flattered" - of course, it was all pretended......
That night, Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong were arranged to rest in two tents next to the king's tent, and Hu Yan Shan Yu also sent each of them two young female slaves to serve them, Li Guanghong thought they were ugly, and the smell on their bodies was not good, just let them make the bed and fold the quilt, and served themselves to wash and dress, but his mentor Zhang Mingshan, the old guy, is 70 years old, people are not old, and they do not dislike the smell of female slaves, they are stunned for half a night, and Li Guanghong is speechless!
This old man doesn't know how to maintain, such an old man, and drink so much wine, can even fight until dawn, worthy of his own teacher!
Such a banquet lasted for three days, every day from noon, until dark, the two people who drank directly were a pool of mud, unconscious, and only then did they stop!
On the third day, Li Guanghong couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Hu Yan to resign from Shan Yu, and also proposed that he wanted to return to Hanhai's homeland to worship, but Shan Yu politely refused, saying that his tribe should not leave, and the richest water and grass land in the south of Dragon City was not enough for them to graze
?At the time of parting, Hu Yan Shan made Zhang Mingshan the Right General King and Li Guanghong the Marquis of Right Bone Capital, commanding all the men and horses, obeying Shan Yu's dispatch, and giving them a promise to allow him to expand to the west and subdue the small tribes that did not obey Shan Yu's orders!
Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong naturally understand this, but they don't care at all, but they have a sense of joy that the conspiracy has succeeded, their purpose here is, on the one hand, to save the general Li Shi, on the other hand, to mess up the Xiongnu from the inside, the current situation is very delicate, just send them this fire....
