I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 243 [1 More] 243

It was probably the first time Lu Xuan saw Liu Tan showing such a sharp side, he didn't rush to answer but admired it for a while before slowly saying: "It depends on how to understand it."

Liu Tan's brows and eyes were cold: "Then how do you understand?"

Lu Xuan said: "I don't feel like I'm bound."

Liu Tan originally wanted to say that it was because you were not with me, otherwise loyalty to the big man was his only requirement.

But he didn't say anything, he just mentioned something: "That's because the big man has no demands on you."

Lu Xuan also understood this and said: "Then what? Even if there is a request, so what? I just want to take down a part of the Xiongnu. I want to be your shield. With me, I can keep the northern border country safe and sound. Your Majesty will disagree. ?"

Liu Tan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't maintain the momentum just now, so he sat up slowly and said: "You should understand what I said, you replaced the Huns, then you may be the next Huns in the hearts of the big Han people. "

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "No, I've said it all. I am the Wusun King of the big man. At worst, it's equivalent to making this piece of land my fief. Wusun and the big man will become one family."

Liu Tan said decisively: "It's different!"

He was a little irritated: "Have you paid taxes to the big man? The military power of the big man is in the hands of the emperor, right? Wusun is not? If these two things are not resolved, what are you talking about becoming a family?"

Don't hide it anymore, he knows that such a request is too much, but he doesn't ask for it, he just puts this problem in front of the two of them and tells Lu Xuan that there is no way to solve it.

Lu Xuan sighed: "It's my fault for making you uneasy."

Liu Tan: ...

Why did he feel for a moment that he was making trouble for no reason?

Liu Tan lowered his head: "It's not that I'm uneasy, it's the reality."

Lu Xuan put his hands on the desk, and came over with a smile, "I'm very happy."

Liu Tan looked at him with question marks all over his head, Lu Xuan couldn't hold back and finally reached out and patted his head and said, "Since you've thought about it, that means...you can, right?"

Liu Tan's eyes widened in an instant, unexpectedly, Lu Xuan interpreted it from this aspect.

But... that's right.

If he doesn't have that heart, why worry about it?Lu Xuan loves to accept it or not, and if he doesn't accept dishonesty, he just hits the honesty.

Isn't it just worrying that the two will turn against each other in the future?

Liu Tan slapped off Lu Xuan's restless paw, and said emphatically, "Focus on this problem, don't think about anything else!"

Lu Xuan smiled, and that gesture seemed to mean that he was sure of winning. He asked softly: "Since you have already thought about it, you must have thought about the conditions. You just asked me to test my bottom line, right? Tell me , as long as it is you, no matter what the conditions are, I will not feel offended."

I don't feel offended, but I won't agree casually. This is a respect for Liu Tan and a responsibility to his people.

Liu Tan took a deep breath and said: "Wusun has become the state of the Han Dynasty, and the position of Wusun king can be hereditary, but it must be certified by the court. If the court does not recognize Wusun king, it is not Wusun king. You can change the candidate at any time, and Wusun will accept the officials sent by the big man to assist King Wusun in handling Wusun affairs."

Lu Xuan didn't respond to these faces, but Liu Tan shrank back while talking. Although his voice didn't get quieter, he was almost stuck on the table afterwards.

It really shows what it means to have a guilty conscience.

Lu Xuan couldn't hold back and dragged the person back: "What are you doing? Do you think it's too much? How can you deal with other countries in the future?"

Liu Tan ducked for a moment and subconsciously said, "Why do you have to worry about dealing with other countries?"

Lu Xuan asked in a low voice: "So I'm different, right?"

Liu Tan was almost suffocated, he felt that he was talking about a serious matter, and the other party was cornering him to make him confess.

Liu Tan almost became angry from embarrassment, and patted the table: "Don't change the subject!"

While talking, he observed Lu Xuan's expression, and found that Lu Xuan's brows and eyes were all smiling, and he couldn't help but wonder if his conditions were very lenient?

No, this is equivalent to letting the big man control Wusun's regime. Although he didn't take away the military power, but... Liu Tan believes that Lu Xuan can see that after the officials of the big man enter Wusun, the whole Wusun can control The estimate of the big Han officials is only one Lu Xuan.

Wusun... It's not that he looks down on Wusun, but that Wusun is a gift from God to be able to get out of Lu Xuan. A country that doesn't even have words can't compare to a big Han official in terms of heart.

But Lu Xuan seemed to be in a good mood, looked at Liu Tan with a smile and asked, "I can agree to this condition."

Liu Tan couldn't help but widen his eyes again, as if something unbelievable had happened: "You... did you hear what I said clearly?"

Lu Xuan said: "I heard it very clearly. I know that each of these conditions is beneficial to the big man, but I am willing to agree."

Liu Tan was completely shocked, he knew that Lu Xuan was willing to give in for him, and he was willing to endure, but this condition... From Lu Xuan's point of view, he felt that it was a bit too much.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Xuan asked with a smile: "Why? I agreed, isn't His Royal Highness the King of the North happy? Are there other conditions? Then let's talk about it together."

Liu Tan choked for a moment and said, "I... this is just my opinion, and the rest will only be decided after the court discusses it."

Lu Xuan nodded: "I know, you don't have to worry, I will agree to the conditions you said, but if the conditions proposed by Chang'an are excessive, I will also refuse."

Liu Tan was puzzled and said, "I...I don't understand, I thought..."

Lu Xuan's current strength is not bad, and he has practiced the principle of supporting war with war very well. Seeing that he has captured so many Huns, he can tell that the Huns are not doing well.

The Xiongnu King Wushilu is not a good person, how could he allow Lu Xuan to be so provocative?

Such Lu Xuan actually agreed to this condition, Liu Tan really didn't understand.

Lu Xuan suddenly said: "But I am very happy."

Liu Tan tilted his head and looked at him, Lu Xuan's dark green eyes were full of tenderness: "You never doubted me, your uneasiness is only for the future, you are worried about the person who will inherit the position of King Wusun, all your precautions are It's about them, not me."

Liu Tan was slightly taken aback, Lu Xuan held his hand and bowed his head to kiss him and said, "I want to thank you for your trust."

Liu Tan stammered and said, "Nor...no, the big man still wants to...send...officials, even if you are in office...the same!"

Lu Xuan looked up at Liu Tan and said, "Well, it seems that if I don't explain clearly, you won't be relieved either."

He pondered for a while before saying: "A Tan, do you know how many countries have disappeared in the Western Regions in the past ten years since I was sensible?"

Liu Tan shook his head very honestly: "No... I don't know."

Lu Xuan's expression was rare and somewhat melancholy: "At least a dozen countries are gone. Maybe one day they were still chatting and drinking with their father, and the next day they will be wiped out."

Liu Tan looked at his expression and said subconsciously: "Don't be sad, they are not comparable to Wusun, so easy to be wiped out, either people are stupid or there are few people, there is no way to save people if they are stupid, there are few people...lead a few hundred If 1000 people are placed in a big man, he will be a village head..."

Halfway through the talk, Liu Tan felt that his method of consolation seemed wrong. At that moment, he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Sure enough, no matter before or now, this is what he is least good at.

Lu Xuan laughed after hearing this: "Probably so, but... the land in the Western Regions really staged the impermanence of the world to the extreme. I used to think that the world was like that, but after seeing the prosperity of the big man, I realized... In fact, there is another way to go.”

He turned his head and looked at Liu Tan with fiery eyes and said, "I can be a hero for a while, be equal to the emperor of Han, and have the highest glory, but so what? My glory can't see the future, and Wusun's independence can't be seen." Not to the future."

Liu Tan asked seriously: "Since you understand this, you can naturally follow the path of a big man."

Lu Xuan shook his head: "No, the most different point between the countries in the Western Regions, even the Xiongnu, and the big Han is that the big Han has writing. I can't tell what it feels like, but I think this is very important. Wusun has its own language. But there is no writing, and I can't create writing, so I have to learn the writing of the big man and everything about the big man, but I know that the big man has no reason to help us for free, so if you want to learn, you have to pay the price. Your conditions are in my opinion Coming is one of the prices that need to be paid, I think...compared with those, this is even insignificant."

What's more, he didn't lose his throne either.
