Chapter 123 A piece of credential, Huihe surrenders to Jin
Two princesses, one wife and one concubine, a blessing for everyone.
Perhaps, for other time-travelers, or modern men who long to travel to ancient times, this is a blessing that they have longed for and longed for.
However, for Jin Wang Chen Huaian, it has become a hot potato - he cannot catch it, let alone throw it away.
Whether it is Wuning Prince's Palace, Liu Shujun, who was canonized as Princess Shujun by the Daxin Imperial Court, or Princess Bijia Yue Qiluo of the Uighur Khanate, they represent two different interest groups behind them.
In particular, this kind of marriage contract for the purpose of political marriage involves intricate interests among various political groups.
If it is not handled properly, it will surely lay the foundation for future divisions within the country.
Chen Huaian knew very well that the newly succeeded Yingwu Khan of the Uighur Khanate, Mo Yanchu, chose to surrender to him at this time, and made the political marriage of Princess Bijia and the Jin Palace as part of his bid for peace and an end to the war. Make plans to strive for more benefits in the future.
According to the current conquest process of Longcheng's soldiers and horses, within three years, they will surely sweep across the Great New Dynasty, unify the surrounding small vassal countries, and become a new dynasty with an unprecedentedly vast territory.
And Chen Huaian, the king of the Jin Dynasty, will surely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, becoming the founding king of the new dynasty.
At this time, he chose to let Princess Bijia of the Huihe Khanate come to marry him, which seemed to be the heroic Khan's delay in complaining about his weakness and incompetence and "selling his daughter for glory."
In fact, Mo Yanchu is playing a big game of chess!
In the future, if Princess Viga gives birth to a son and a half daughter, it is very likely that she will be the crown prince of the new dynasty and the one who will inherit the throne.
With this relationship, the Huihe Khanate's dominant position among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions can naturally be preserved.
For Chen Huaian, he indeed needs to support an agent of a new dynasty in the Western Regions to stabilize the situation in the Western Regions.
You can't just personally send people thousands of miles away to quell the rebellion every time there's a disturbance, right?
It seems that this is a win-win situation between Chen Huaian and Mo Yanchu.
But actually?
If he agrees to the marriage, he will marry Princess Viga Yue Qiluo.
Then where should the positions of Prince Wuning and Princess Shujun Liu Shujun be placed?
Wuning King Liu Xinwu, in order to get his daughter to marry him, put his head in his belt and risked his life to clear the way for Longcheng Jingnan's army when he was dealing with Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gan.
After that, when Chang Yuchun led his troops to regain the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, he used his influence to allow Chang Yuchun to regain fourteen of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures without bloodshed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Wuning King Liu Xinwu not only represents the interests of the Wuning Prince's Palace, but also represents the interests of all forces in the Sixteenth Province of Youyun.
Although, in the Great New Dynasty and even the previous dynasties, it was normal for an emperor to have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines.
However, there is only one queen.
Whether it is to establish Princess Shujun, Liu Shujun, as the queen, or to establish Princess Piga, Yue Qiluo, as the queen, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other side.
At that time, the two factions will fight openly and covertly, and at worst, the court will be in trouble with weapons.
All in all, the blessing of having one wife and one concubine is not so easy to bear!
For a while, Chen Huaian was called one head and two big ones.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, Pang Xianchu, who saw His Royal Highness the King of Jin frowning and had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but remind him: "The envoys of the Huihe Khanate were stopped outside the army camp by the general!"
"Your Highness, see you or not!"
"See!"
Chen Huaian came back to his senses and said decisively: "Why don't you see me?"
"This is the king's general order to announce that the envoys of the Huihe Khanate will come to see you!"
"The general will get the order!"
Soon, the brave general Pang Xianchu appeared in the Chinese army's tent at the Longcheng Army Camp with a middle-aged man wearing traditional Uighur costumes.
The visitors followed the etiquette of the Great New Dynasty and knelt down to Chen Huaian, who was sitting in the center of the tent.
He introduced himself: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, all blessings, my minister Ahemati is an envoy personally appointed by the Yingwu Khan of the Uighur Khanate. I have come here to discuss peace with His Highness the King of Jin with the letter of credence written by the Yingwu Khan. Stop the war!"
With that said, Ahemati took out the credentials he carried with him, raised his hands above his head, and presented it to Chen Huaian.
Seeing this, Chen Huaian raised his hand, and Pang Xianchu understood it and transferred the credentials of the Huihe Khanate to Chen Huaian's hand.
Rather than saying it is a letter of credence, it is more appropriate to say it is a letter of surrender.
However, in front of the public, Ahemati, as the Uyghur envoy, and the Uyghur Khanate he represented, also wanted to retain the last trace of dignity and dignity, so they called it a letter of credence.
Chen Huaian didn't care about these red tapes, as long as he could express his submission.
He took the letter of credence written on brocade silk from Pang Xianchu and browsed it at a glance.
The general idea of Uihe's credentials is: Uihe and the Daxin Dynasty are separated by a narrow strip of water and are neighbors; they also have a deep friendship with the former king Chen Polu, and they should never have reached the point where they are now fighting each other.
Just because Huairen Khan was old and foolish, he listened to the slanderous words of his treacherous ministers, ignored the deep friendship between the two countries, and brazenly sent troops to invade the four towns of Anxi.
Fortunately, His Highness the King of Jin sent troops to stop it in time, so that Huairen Khan could not make a bigger mistake.
Now, Huairen can be laid to rest, and Yingwu Khan succeeds to the throne.
Yingwu Khan cherished the national friendship between the Uighur Khanate and the Great New Dynasty very much, and even more cherished the deep friendship established with the late king Chen Polu. He was unwilling to fight against each other as neighbors and brothers, causing the common people to rise up. A great disaster will make the people miserable.
Therefore, Yingwu Khan is willing to restore old friendship with His Highness the King of Jin and end the war and negotiate peace.
In order to show sincerity, the Uighur Khanate was willing to allow Princess Bijia to go to the Jin Dynasty's fief for marriage, and the two parties concluded an alliance.
From then on, the Uighur Khanate bowed its head to the Great New Imperial Court represented by His Highness the King of Jin, and regarded the country represented by His Highness the King of Jin as its suzerainty, guarding the Silk Road on land for generations.
Moreover, Yingwu Khan is willing to personally come forward and go to the remaining thirty-five countries in the Western Regions to lobby, so that the countries in the Western Regions can jointly surrender to His Highness the King of Jin and build a beautiful Silk Road together.
On top of the certificate of credence, there was even a dowry list for Princess Pijia to go to the Jin Dynasty's fief for marriage: three thousand Uighur girls, ten thousand horses from the Western Regions, and one hundred thousand cattle, sheep, gold and silver.
Finally, the certificate of credence was signed by the heroic Khan of the Uighur Khanate - Mo Yanchu, and was also stamped with the national seal.
After reading the contents of the credentials, Chen Huaian closed the credentials and threw it casually on the desk in front of him. With a playful smile on his face, he asked:
"Ahemati, did your Yingwu Khan tell you that if the king does not agree to the marriage, will you Huihe Khanate not intend to surrender to the king?"
"ah?"
Hearing this, Ahemati, who was an envoy to Uighurs, was full of surprise, and his blue eyes rolled around.
Obviously, including the Yingwu Khan Mo Yanchui, the old Uyghur Prime Minister Guo Hasi, and the envoy Ahmat, and even the entire civil and military officers of the Uyghur court, they did not expect that Jin King Chen Huaian would raise this issue.
In their minds, wouldn't the end result of the successive Han kings' conquests in the Western Regions all be for the exotic beauties and enchanting dancers in the Western Regions?
Could it be that it’s for the raisins from the Western Regions?
This Princess Bijia is recognized as the most beautiful princess in the Western Region.
He took the initiative to ask Princess Viga to come and get married, but His Highness King Jin actually disagreed?
Could it be that His Highness the King of Jin has the power of Long Yang?
What should I do about this?
Ahemati was so anxious that beads of sweat oozed out from his forehead.
Ultimately, an ambiguous answer is given.
Aihemati said: "Reporting to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this question is my humble minister. This is what I think. His Highness the King of Jin is unparalleled in valor -"
"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. Our Princess Bijia of the Uighur Khanate is recognized as the most beautiful princess in the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions. Naturally, she also admires and admires His Highness the King of Jin, and secretly expresses her love."
"How about we ask His Highness King Jin to come to Harabalegas, the capital of Hehe, and see Princess Viga in person before we can discuss this question?"
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
