Chapter 123 A Letter From the State: The Huihe Surrendered to the Jin Dynasty
Two princesses, one wife and one concubine, a blessing.
Perhaps, for other time travelers, or modern men who want to travel back to ancient times, this is a blessing that they have been thinking about day and night and looking forward to.
However, for Jin Wang Chen Huaian, it has become a hot potato - he can't accept it, let alone throw it away.
Whether it is Wuning Wangfu, Liu Shujun who was canonized as Princess Shujun by the Daxin court, or Yue Qiluo, the Princess Pijia of the Uighur Khanate, they represent two different interest groups behind them.
Especially this kind of marriage for the purpose of political marriage, it involves the intricate interests between various political groups.
If it is not handled properly, it will definitely lay the seeds for the division of the country in the future.
Chen Huaian is very clear that the new successor of the Uighur Khanate, Yingwu Khan Mo Yanchuo, chose to bow to him at this time, and used the political marriage between Princess Pijia and Jin Wangfu as part of seeking peace and stopping the war, which must be a plan to gain more benefits in the future.
According to the current conquest progress of the Longcheng army, within three years, it will surely sweep across the Great New Dynasty, unify the surrounding vassal states, and become a brand new dynasty with unprecedentedly vast territory.
And he, the King of Jin, Chen Huaian, will also ascend the throne and become the founding monarch of the new dynasty.
At this time, choosing to let Princess Pijia of the Uighur Khanate come to marry seems to be the weak and incompetent "selling his daughter for glory" of the heroic Khan Moyanchuo.
In fact, it is Moyanchuo who is playing a big chess game!
If Princess Pijia gives birth to a child for him in the future, it is very likely that he will be the crown prince of the new dynasty and the heir to the throne.
With this relationship, the Uighur Khanate will naturally maintain its dominant position among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
For Chen Huaian, he does need to support an agent of the new dynasty in the Western Regions to stabilize the situation in the Western Regions.
It is impossible to send people to travel thousands of miles to quell the rebellion every time there is a slight disturbance, right?
It seems that this is a win-win situation between Chen Huaian and Mo Yanchuo.
But what is the reality?
If I agree to the marriage and marry Princess Pijia Yue Qiluo.
Then what position should Wuning Palace and Princess Shujun Liu Shujun be placed in?
In order to let his daughter marry him, Wuning King Liu Xinwu put his head on his belt and risked his life to open the way for the Longcheng Jingnan Army when he was dealing with Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gan.
After that, in the battle of Chang Yuchun leading his troops to recover the Sixteen States of Youyun, he used his influence to allow Chang Yuchun to recover fourteen of the Sixteen States of Youyun without bloodshed.
It is no exaggeration to say that behind Wuning King Liu Xinwu, he not only represents the interests of Wuning Palace, but also the interests of all forces in the Sixteen States of Youyun.
Although, in the Great Xin Dynasty and even in 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 Princess Shujun Liu Shujun or Princess Pijia Yue Qiluo is made the queen, it is bound to cause dissatisfaction from the other party.
By then, at the very least, the two factions will fight openly and secretly, and at worst, the court will be in turmoil.
In short, the blessing of having a wife and a concubine is not so easy to enjoy!
For a while, Chen Huaian was in a state of confusion.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, seeing that His Highness Prince Jin had been frowning and silent for a long time, Pang Xianchu finally couldn't help but remind him: "The envoy of the Uighur Khanate has been stopped outside the military camp by me!"
"Your Highness, do you want to see him or not!"
"See him!"
Chen Huaian came to his senses and said firmly: "Why not see him!"
"Pass on my order to summon the envoy of the Uighur Khanate to meet me!"
"I have received your order!"
Soon, the brave general Pang Xianchu appeared in the central tent of the Longcheng military camp with a middle-aged man in traditional Uighur clothing.
The man knelt down and bowed to Chen Huaian, who was sitting in the center of the tent, in accordance with the etiquette of the Great Xin Dynasty.
He introduced himself: "Your Highness, the Respected Prince of Jin, I am Ahemaiti, an envoy appointed by the Yingwu Khan of the Uighur Khanate, and I have come to negotiate peace and stop the war with His Highness, the Prince of Jin, with a letter of credence written by Yingwu Khanate himself!"
As he spoke, Ahemaiti took out the letter of credence he had brought with him, raised it with both hands above his head, and presented it to Chen Huaian.
Seeing this, Chen Huaian raised his hand, and Pang Xianchu understood and handed the letter of credence from the Uighur Khanate to Chen Huaian.
Rather than calling it a letter of credence, it would be more appropriate to call it a letter of surrender.
However, in public, Ahemaiti, as an envoy of the Uighur Khanate, and the Uighur Khanate he represented, also wanted to retain the last bit of dignity and decency, so they called it a letter of credence.
Chen Huaian didn't care about these red tapes, as long as he could express his intention of surrendering.
He took the letter written on silk from Pang Xianchu and read it at a glance.
The general meaning of the letter from the Huihe was: Huihe and the Daxin Dynasty were neighbors, and they had a deep friendship with the former king Chen Polu, and they should never have come to the point of fighting.
It was because Khan Huairen was old and confused, and he listened to the slander of treacherous ministers, disregarded the deep friendship between the two countries, and brazenly sent troops to invade the four towns of Anxi.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin sent troops to stop it in time, so that Khan Huairen did not make a bigger mistake.
Now, Khan Huairen has passed away, and Khan Yingwu has succeeded him.
Yingwu Khan cherishes the friendship between the Huihe Khanate and the Daxin Dynasty, and even more so the deep friendship established with the previous king Chen Polu. He does not want the two neighboring brothers to fight each other, causing great disasters and misery for the people.
Therefore, Yingwu Khan is willing to reconcile with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, stop the war and negotiate peace.
To show sincerity, the Huihe Khanate is willing to let Princess Pijia go to the fiefdom of the Prince of Jin to marry, and the two sides will conclude an alliance.
From then on, the Huihe Khanate bowed to the Daxin court represented by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and regarded the country represented by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin as the suzerain state, guarding the land Silk Road for generations.
In addition, Yingwu Khan is willing to personally go to the remaining 35 countries in the Western Regions to lobby, so that the Western Regions countries will bow to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and build a beautiful Silk Road together.
The letter even included a dowry list for Princess Pijia to marry into the fiefdom of the King of Jin: 3,000 Huihe girls, 10,000 fine horses from the Western Regions, 100,000 cattle, sheep, gold and silver.
Finally, the letter was signed by the Yingwu Khan of the Huihe Khanate, Mo Yanchuo, and was stamped with the national seal.
After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Huaian closed it casually and threw it on the table 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, your Huihe Khanate will not bow down to the king?"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Ahhemati, as a Huihe envoy, was surprised, and his blue eyes were spinning.
Obviously, including the brave Khan Mo Yanchuo, the old Huihe Prime Minister Hasi, and the envoy Ahemaiti, and even the civil and military officials of the entire Huihe court, did not expect that Jin Wang Chen Huaian would raise this question.
In their minds, the Han emperors of all dynasties conquered the Western Regions, and the final result was not all for the exotic beauties and enchanting dancers in the Western Regions?
Could it be for the raisins in the Western Regions!
This Princess Pijia is recognized as the most beautiful princess in the Western Regions.
Taking the initiative to let Princess Pijia come to marry, His Royal Highness Jin Wang actually disagreed?
Could it be that His Royal Highness Jin Wang has a good relationship with Longyang?
What should I do?
Ahemaiti was so anxious that beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
In the end, he gave an ambiguous answer.
Ahemaiti said: "Reporting to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, this is what I think about this question. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is so heroic and brave——"
"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. Princess Pijia of our Huihe Khanate is recognized as the most beautiful princess by the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Naturally, she also admires and worships His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and has a secret crush on him."
"How about this question, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to come to our Huihe capital Harabalegas and see Princess Pijia with your own eyes before you can talk about it?"
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
