In the main hall, a young man in a crown who was less than ten years old spoke calmly.
"In the past, the emperors ruled the barbarians. When they submitted, they were virtuous. When they rebelled, they were awe-inspiring. I've never heard of marriage!”
As soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at him.
His words were full of Han chauvinism, which struck a chord in many people's hearts.
Since the Three Royals and Five Emperors, it had been more than two thousand years.
Even during the Spring and Autumn Period, when the world was in a state of turmoil, the Chinese nobles never showed weakness to the Hu.
The former Qin Dynasty had gone through three generations to seize the land that Xirong relied on to survive.
King Zhao of Yan, the ruler of Yan State, built a golden platform to recruit talents and expand thousands of miles eastward.
King Wuling of Zhao implemented the reform of wearing Hu clothes, riding and shooting, attacking Xiongnu in the north and establishing Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties.
As for Dongyi and Nanman, they had long become history under the attack of Qi and Chu.
After the Qin Dynasty unified the country, they opened up the frontier, causing the Hu people to not dare to go south to herd horses.
But here in the Han Dynasty, they had to carry out the marriage policy.
He sent the daughters of the noble families of China to serve the enemy chieftains, and offered the Xiongnu silk, silk, wine and food every year.
It was simply humiliating to the extreme.
At the thought of this, many people's faces revealed a look of shame.
"It sounds nice, but if the marriage fails and the Xiongnu attack, how should I deal with it?”
Seeing that all the officials were intimidated by a child, Imperial Censor Tao Qing had no choice but to step forward and question.
He didn't have anything against the Ninth Prince, Liu Sheng, but he simply didn't get along with Prime Minister Shentu Jia.
The latter was already so old, but he still clung to power and refused to leave. It was really too hateful.
"Tsk!"
Liu Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You say that as if the Xiongnu will not invade the south just because our dynasty is married to them!”
Ever since the Han-Xiongnu marriage, there had been no less than thirteen large-scale disputes between the two sides.
Small-scale border conflicts occurred every year.
The most recent one was a few months ago, when the military minister Chanyu took the throne and led more than 100,000 troops south to invade Yanmen, Yunzhong, and several other counties.
The beacon fire that sent out the alarm had reached Ganquan Palace, which shocked the officials and people in Chang 'an three times a day.
This iron-like fact was placed in front of him, and Tao Qing found it hard to refute for a moment.
"Your son objects to the marriage alliance mainly because of three reasons.”
"Firstly, this greatly increases the arrogance of the Xiongnu and weakens the pride of our people!”
"Secondly, this move caused huge economic losses to our dynasty, but it also increased the strength of the Xiongnu!”
"Thirdly, this action has brought great humiliation and suffering to those women who have been married!”
The first point was easy to understand. Everyone present knew the importance of morale.
Marriage wasn't just about marrying off the daughter. The dowry was even more important.
Therefore, no one could refute Liu Sheng's claim that this was an act of inciting the enemy.
However, when they heard the third point, many people frowned.
To them, sacrificing a little girl was nothing compared to the national policy.
"How would the Ninth Prince know that those noble ladies who married the Xiongnu Chanyu are very unfortunate?”
After receiving the signal from his superior, Tao Qing, a minor character who did not deserve a name stood up with an encouraging expression.
This person was lying through his teeth, and many people present knew it.
Although most of the women who were sent to the marriage alliance were not real princesses, they were still from the families of officials in the Central Plains civilization.
After the marriage, they could not communicate with each other. They had to leave their hometown and relatives, and they suffered from homesickness and missing their relatives.
They also had to follow the customs and remarry to the next generation of rulers, or marry an old leader who was much older than them. They had no ability or power to oppose or resist.
This was a double blow to the princess's soul and body.
Although many people knew, they did not say it out loud.
In the end, it was because they were in different positions, so they naturally looked at the problem from different angles.
A woman's personal honor and disgrace and the country's long-term stability, which was more important, everyone had a score in their hearts.
Liu Sheng was still very calm in the face of the pressure that was about to condense into substance.
He did not answer the man's question directly. Instead, he paced back and forth in the hall and chanted in a low voice,
"My family will marry into my Xitian side."
"I entrust you to a foreign country, the King of the Huns."
"The vault is the room, oh, the wall is the wall."
"Eating meat as food, cheese as pulp."
"Ju Chang Tu Si Xi's heart is injured."
"I'm willing to return to my hometown for the yellow swan."
This Fu was written by Princess Xijun. Liu Sheng had seen relevant information on the Internet in his previous life.
In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, sent an envoy to Wusun to fight against the Xiongnu. The king of Wusun, Hunjiao, was willing to marry the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, appointed Liu Xijun as the princess and married Wusun. She was the right wife of the proud hunter, and her status was below the left wife of the Xiongnu princess.
After two years, hunting arrogant no old, want to let grandson army must no marry Liu Xijun.
Liu Xijun did not agree and wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to explain the matter. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, replied, Following the customs of the Wusun Kingdom, the Han Dynasty wants to join forces with the Wusun Kingdom to destroy the Xiongnu."
After the death of Hunting Pride, Liu Xijun took into account the overall situation and followed the customs of Wusun State. She married Hunting Pride's grandson Jun Xumi and became the right wife. She gave birth to a daughter named Shaofu.
Less than three years later, Liu Xijun died of depression.
To be honest, when Liu Sheng first saw this, he couldn't believe it.
Liu Che, who was known as the " Emperor of the Ages " and praised by the world, actually had such a dark history.
Little did they know that the shock that the civil and military officials in the hall were experiencing was no less than that of Liu Sheng.
This poem vividly described the tragic experience of the princess, and it resonated with everyone.
If this was done by an adult, they might not be so surprised.
However, Liu Sheng was less than ten years old now.
Although Liu Sheng was much taller than his peers, his tender voice and the hair on the corner of his mouth fully exposed his true identity.
Everyone couldn't help but have the same thought.
"Is there really a child prodigy in this world?”
