Chapter 211 Willing to Go
The next day.
Qin Shuyu came to the Dali Temple again. The two of them were still sitting cross-legged in the dark and damp dungeon. There was no sunlight and the pungent stench of decay was all around.
Hearing the noise, Shen Wei looked up and saw that it was Qin Shuyu, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Miss Zhao and the others asked me to bring you a message." Qin Shuyu felt very uncomfortable and said, "As for going to the northern border, they are willing to go and exchange peace for the court."
The smile on Shen Wei's face froze.
they........
How could I possibly go voluntarily?
This is probably for her, to make her feel better...
"They also asked me to bail you out. They will go this time. I heard that the men of the Xiongnu are brave and strong. It will definitely be a good choice for you to marry into the Xiongnu."
"They finally said that they didn't make this decision just because you were imprisoned. If you disagree, they will go to the palace on their own initiative. It is their honor to do something for the people."
"........"
"Forget it. The outcome has been decided. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Whether you are willing or not is not important."
Qin Shuyu saw that Shen Wei looked very unhappy, so she changed the subject and whispered, "Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Anyway, I have already found out everything about the North Territory from my father in the past two days."
"The Xiongnu's Chanyu King died two months ago, and the eldest prince was chosen as the next Chanyu."
"But the internal struggle among the Xiongnu was serious, and the whereabouts of the eldest prince were unknown after he was defeated by the second prince."
"When the Second Prince ascended the throne as the new Chanyu, he immediately launched a war against our dynasty, hoping to gain more from our dynasty through this war, and to convince people that he had usurped the throne in an unjustifiable way."
"After all, if he doesn't do this, his position will be unclear and illegitimate. In addition, the sons of officials in the Central Plains are fighting for military merits, and there is serious internal strife. This is just the right opportunity for them to take advantage of."
"........"
"........"
"The people's voice and reputation can determine the defeat of a dynasty. This is why the Xiongnu asked for our fiefdom, money, and three thousand women."
Shen Wei took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, and listened to all the words.
In other words, after the battle two years ago, the Huns were originally going to negotiate peace with the Central Plains, but it happened that the Chanyu King died at this time.
The original eldest prince disappeared inexplicably.
The second prince was extremely ambitious, and his ascension to the throne was not legitimate, so he used the conquest of the Central Plains as the basis for his ascension to the throne.
That’s how it turns out......
Shen Wei had a plan in mind, and then he pursed his lips and looked up, asking: "I know, is there any news about the eldest prince? Is he dead or alive now?"
Qin Shuyu shook his head: "I don't know, this is an internal matter of the Xiongnu, my father can only get this much information."
"I hope this information is useful to you."
Shen Wei said with emotion: "Yes, it's Xiang Rong and the others... Tell them not to worry about me."
Qin Shuyu listened to her words and hesitated for a moment. She wanted to ask the doubts in her heart, but at this time the voice of the jailer came from a distance.
"Madam Hou, you should go now."
Qin Shuyu took a step forward, then stopped and looked back at Shen Wei, lowering his voice and saying, "You won't really decide to go to the North, will you? And you still... want to distort the situation."
Qin Shuyu felt that her question was ridiculous. How could this be possible? How could she solve a problem that even many ministers in the court could not solve?
But Qin Shuyu vaguely felt that this was what Shen Wei thought.
Perhaps this is the eccentric Shen Wei, who does things even though she knows they are impossible.
