Chapter 91 Promoted to Marquis

In the mind of Emperor Wu of Han, he would rather destroy the Huns and capture the military minister Shanyu alive. It would be better to bring Maodun Shanyu's tombstone to Chang'an to make him happy!

You should know that among all the Khans of the Huns, the Han people hated the most was Maodun Shanyu. Even his tombstone was made. What does this mean? It means that the shame of the Han Dynasty was the most perfect to wash away the snow. Maodun trapped Emperor Gaozu and humiliated the Queen Gao. When later generations mentioned it, they would say, "What if Maodun is as strong as Maodun? He dug his tombs and brought all his tombstones to Chang'an."

In history, it was precisely because Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, washed away the shame, and trapped Emperor Gaozu, and humiliated the Queen of Gao. Not many later generations knew about these two things. If Emperor Wu of Han did not defeat the Huns, then these two most shameful events in China's three thousand years of history might be the same as the "Jingkang Shame", which will make future generations regret and make future generations regret it!

"Bang bang!" Emperor Wu of Han was so happy that he kept slapped on the tombstone, squealing his throat and screamed: "Old thief Maodun, when you were trapped in the Great Emperor and humiliated Emperor Gao, did you ever think of today? Have you ever thought about it?"

"The old thief must have never thought of it!" Shen Gong's voice was also sharp and harsh, with a red face: "The old thief Maodun was so proud that he could not have any thoughts. He would not be at peace after his death!"

"Haha!" A burst of laughter sounded, and it was very comfortable from the mouths of the ministers, princes, princes, and marquis.

This revenge was so good. Although they had already known that Maodun's tombstone had been brought back, they were still happy when they saw it with their own eyes. They knew that today was Emperor Jing's funeral, so they could not laugh, or be happy, and should be sad and crying, but they still couldn't help laughing.

"Long live the great man!"

The people felt this joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but yell, and they were all filled with tears of joy.

Listening to the thunderous roars erupting from the Han Dynasty, Junchen and Shanyu had no choice but to lower their heads, and they were frightened and did not dare to come out. When they came to the Han Dynasty, they even entered an unexpected abyss. How would the Han Dynasty deal with them? They were not sure yet, and it was possible that the Han Dynasty would kill them to vent their anger.

However, something that made Junchen Shanyu even more frightened happened immediately. Emperor Wu of Han walked to Junchen Shanyu, with bright eyes shining brightly, and he looked at him with interest. Junchen Shanyu's head was lowered, but he could also feel the sword-like gaze of Emperor Wu of Han, as if he was plucking his heart.

"Raise your head!" Emperor Wu of Han spoke slowly, his tone was not high, but he had an irresistible power.

Junchen Shanyu was extremely reluctant, but he had to raise his head. Emperor Wu of Han looked at him like the scorching sun above the nine heavens. Emperor Wu of Han was not very sharp, but Junchen Shanyu saw it and felt a sense of humility, as if Emperor Wu of Han was the noble master, which made him have to look up.

In fact, it is true. Nowadays, the military minister Shanyu is a prisoner, and his aura is nine points weaker. How can he not have this heart?

"The old thief Maodun once thought that the two of you met. Now you have fulfilled his wish!" Emperor Wu of Han's mouth curled upwards, and a sarcasm passed through the corners of his mouth.

Emperor Wu of Han said this as a mockery and sarcasm, which made the military minister Shanyu wish there was a crack in the ground and immediately got into it.

Maodun Shanyu trapped Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and wanted to capture Liu Bang alive in one fell swoop. In that case, the two kings would meet each other. Although Maodun fell into Chen Ping's plan and finally let Liu Bang go, the Han people always remembered such shameful things.

Now, the two kings really met. However, the result was exactly the opposite of Maodun Shanyu's wish. The military minister Shanyu was a prisoner, and Emperor Wu of Han was the winner. This means that although Liu Bang suffered a great humiliation back then, his descendants were able to help and could wipe out the shame. Although Maodun was strong for a while, his descendants were unworthy and could not maintain their great cause and eventually ended up defeating.

For the monarch, is there anything more shameful and angry than this that made the military minister Shanyu? No more!

"Grandpa!" Junchen Shanyu was so embarrassed that he couldn't stop his body, his body trembled, his teeth hit each other, making a crisp sound.

Listening to the sound of Junchen Shanyu's striking teeth, Yi Zhixie and the others knew that the shame that Emperor Wu of Han made him feel was no worse than the defeat of Longcheng, but they could not comfort Junchen Shanyu, so they could only sigh in secret.

"Haha!" Seeing the trembling appearance of Junchen Shanyu, the ministers were very happy and let out a comfortable laugh. Is there anything more comfortable than making the Huns' Shanyu tremble all over?

"Is this your scepter?" Emperor Wu of Han held the golden scepter in his hand, played with it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your throne, the king's tent, and the golden eagle on the tent were seized by the Han Dynasty several years ago, and this one is the shortfall."

"Bang bang!" Knocking the golden scepter on Maodun Shanyu's tombstone, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Blasting the old thief's tombstone with the scepter hasn't happened yet, right? Haha!"

"Haha!" The ministers laughed.

The golden scepter was the tomb of the Shanyu, and the tombstone of the Maodun Shanyu was sacred and inviolable. It was impossible for the Xiongnu Chanyu to do such things. Although it was a small thing, it was still a joy to behold.

"Zhongxing said!" Emperor Wu of Han's voice suddenly turned high and shouted loudly, like a thunder sound on the ground.

"Slave is here!" Zhongxing said with a trembling voice, responded, and his body couldn't help but bend to ninety degrees, a copy of fear and fear.

Among all the people captured alive, if you ask who Emperor Wu of Han hates the most, it is undoubtedly the Zhongxing theory. As for Junchen Shanyu and the others, although Emperor Wu of Han hates them, they are all for their own masters. Junchen Shanyu and the others are for the strength of the Xiongnu. However, Zhongxing theory is a traitor. Who can not hate those who betray their ancestors?

"Bang!" The golden scepter in Emperor Wu of Han hit the back of Zhonghang with a loud bang.

"Ah!" Zhongxing screamed and immediately fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and pale, as if he had been buried in the soil.

Emperor Wu of Han raised his right foot and stepped on Zhongxing's chest. The golden scepter in his hand pointed at Zhongxing and said with a stern voice: "You are a conspiracy, as a Han Chinese, you are doing things for the Huns and instigating the Huns to cause disaster. Have you ever thought that your ancestors were under the sacred fouls for you?"

The sound is like thunder, and every word is like thunder, which shocks people's eardrums.

The Central Committee said that when the Han Dynasty fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty, they would inevitably suffer thousands of tortures and pains. But they did not expect that Emperor Wu of Han would beat him with his own hands. As an emperor, even if his ministers were at fault, they could not beat him and had to be dealt with by the law. This is the way to be a king. However, what the Central Committee said did was so terrifying that Emperor Wu of Han was furious.

Regarding Emperor Wu of Han’s actions, Shen Gong and others not only did not think it was too much, but instead thought they deserved it. They pulled the corners of their mouths and looked at Zhongxing who was twitching on the ground coldly, saying that they had no sympathy.

"Now, you are in my hands. I want to make you live and die!" Emperor Wu of Han was furious and pointed at Zhongxing and shouted, his power was thrilling, which was extremely terrifying.

He told the Bank of China that this traitor was to let him suffer all kinds of torture and suffering. Shen Gong and the others nodded in agreement.

"Long live the emperor!" He said to the Central Committee that the Han Dynasty also hated the people of the Han Dynasty, and immediately burst into a shocking roar, and he agreed with this from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Wu of Han scolded for a while, and his anger was slightly relieved. Then, accompanied by Zhou Yang, he examined the ministers such as Yi Zhixie. Now the Hun ministers are all silent and no longer as powerful as the former one. Wherever Emperor Wu of Han goes, they are all respectful like a dog, and they are just barking.

"The ministers of the Huns are nothing more than this! No wonder they were defeated so quickly!" Emperor Wu of Han looked down on him and walked away to check the spoils.

Emperor Wu of Han was not interested in humiliating the Huns' ministers, not because others did not. Many Han Dynasty ministers used ways to humiliate them. Although the words of the Han Dynasty ministers were not rough at all, their words were like swords, which made them uncomfortable.

There were too many spoils, so Emperor Wu of Han only inspected a small number and selected some funeral objects for Emperor Jing.

Everything is right, Emperor Jing's funeral will begin. Before this, there will be a short rest. Taking advantage of this, Zhou Yang and Zhou Yafu, Princess Nangong and others met.

Needless to say, Zhou Yafu was so happy that his mouth was cracked. Where could it be closed, the lines on the corners of his mouth were clearly visible, like a ravine.

Although this battle was not fought by Zhou Yafu, how could he not be happy about Zhou Yang's success as his father?

As soon as we met, Zhou Yafu picked up all the nice words and praised Zhou Yang to the sky. Unfortunately, Zhou Yafu was not good at speaking and had no new tricks.

Princess Nangong was extremely happy to see Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang led her troops to the battlefield, and she was responsible for her concern. When the good news came, she was eager to reunite with Zhou Yang. Now she met, but in front of Emperor Jing's tomb, at the time of Emperor Jing's funeral, as her daughter, she was very sad. As a wife, she was reunited with her husband, and she was also happy. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

The arrival of Zhou Yang and the others was a catalyst of passion, which made the people very happy. At the same time, they were also regretting the passing of Emperor Jing. Why would such a great monarch not live for a hundred years and live forever?

As soon as the hour arrived, Dong Zhongshu, the emcee of ceremonies, began to proclaim the ceremony. Zhou Yang had to leave Princess Nangong for a while and stood next to Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of Han must have three important ministers before he could stand. However, Zhou Yang had just returned from the victory of the battle. Although he had not been rewarded, he thought he was not far from the three important ministers.

Besides, Zhou Yang is Emperor Jing’s son-in-law, and his son-in-law is like a son. If he doesn’t stand here, who will stand?

The musicians played sorrow and music, and the sounds were heard, which made people feel heartbroken. Emperor Wu of Han helped the spirits, Zhou Yang, Emperor Jing of Han and his children helped each other, princes and kings followed each other, and ministers accompanied each other. Emperor Jing's coffin was transported and headed towards the tomb.

In the Han Dynasty, coffins were mostly made of lacquered coffins. Emperor Jing was a frugal emperor. Although he was the emperor, his coffins were not listed outside, which was extremely ordinary. The only difference between the coffins of ordinary people was that they were slightly larger.

Zhou Yang saw it and had to sigh that Emperor Jing is truly a famous frugal emperor in Chinese history, and he is so frugal!

Amid the sound of sorrow, Emperor Jing's coffin was placed in the tomb. The next thing was the burial tool. Zhou Yang once again saw Emperor Jing's frugality. The items that were buried were utensils that Emperor Jing had used for decades. They were short and damaged, with a short case missing corners, and even more worn. This was Emperor Jing's burial object.

During his lifetime, Emperor Jing arranged all his burial matters and personally selected these utensils. In the words of Emperor Jing, these utensils have been used for decades and have been used well. If they want to be replaced, they will be too unfamiliar.

The coffins and utensils used by Emperor Jing were only worth 30 taels of silver. Although they were richer than ordinary people's artifacts, they were too frugal as emperors. Think about Qin Shihuang, when he built a tomb in Mount Li, which caused a sensation in the world, it took time and effort, and the utensils he used were worth a lot of money. Compared with Emperor Jing, he could use the word "sweet and sorrow".

The last thing to put in was the seized spoils, which required memorial objects. It took a long time to put them in one piece after another. Who said that Zhou Yang seized too many spoils?

Emperor Wu of Han knelt on the ground and prayed to Emperor Jing’s spirit in heaven: “The father’s spirit in heaven knows: the Han Dynasty has defeated the Huns and captured the monarch and ministers alive. From then on, the Huns can no longer cause harm to the border! The father should smile with a smile! This scepter is a token of the Shanyu of the Huns in all dynasties. The Longcheng Battle is seized, please check it out!”

After the prayer was over, Emperor Wu of Han put the golden scepter in his own hands with tears in his eyes.

This golden scepter was a token of the Xiongnu Chanyu. I don’t know how many scepters used. The orders issued by the Xiongnu Chanyu were countless. How many Han people died under the Huns’ scimitar were all related to this scepter. Using the scepter to be buried with him is the best comfort to Emperor Jing.

The military minister Shanyu wanted to object, not only did he fail, but he would also humiliate himself. He could only watch Emperor Wu of Han put the golden scepter into the tomb.

"Ah!" Junchen Shanyu sighed.

Just as Junchen Shanyu sighed, he heard a "clang" sound, Emperor Wu of Han drew out the Han sword, held it in his hand, and shot violently in his eyes, heading towards Junchen Shanyu.

"You, you, you..." Junchen Shanyu was frightened by the intention of Emperor Wu of Han. Although he once thought that life was worse than death, he died one after another. However, when Emperor Wu of Han really wanted to kill him, he still couldn't help but feel scared.

"I won't kill you!" Emperor Wu of Han sneered, his face as heavy as water.

"Don't kill me?" Junchen Shanyu's voice trembled in fear.

"It took a thousand years for China to capture a Shanyu like you. If you kill it, wouldn't it be a pity? Keeping you will have great uses!" Emperor Wu of Han still had a cold face.

That's right, if a person like Junchen Shanyu was killed with one knife, it would be very happy, but he would be in a state of impulse. Keeping him would have many uses. Emperor Wu of Han was a shrewd man, so how could he make such a mistake?

"Then what are you going to do?" Junchen Shanyu was not only worried, but was even more worried. God knew how Emperor Wu of Han would treat him.

"Brush!" Emperor Wu of Han did not answer. His wrist flapped, and a bright sword light flashed by. Junchen Shanyu felt his scalp chills, and the Han sword actually brushed his scalp.

Junchen Shanyu was born and died in this life and passed by death many times, but he was not as amazing as he was now. He sat down on the ground with his butt, his face was as pale as paper, without any blood, his chest was undulating, and he was panting, and he was scared and sweating.

"Look at your timid appearance! Wouldn't you just cut a strand of hair?" Emperor Wu of Han pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled loudly. A strand of hair appeared in his right hand, which was from Junchen Shanyu.

After returning the sword to the sheath, Emperor Wu of Han came to the tomb and prayed again: "Father, my child should have killed Shanyu and buried him for you. However, it was only a thousand years since China captured such a Shanyu alive. If he killed him with one knife, it would be a pity! My child would use a long strand of Shanyu's hair to bury you. When the father saw his hair, he would see Shanyu. Shanyu was a dog, a pig, a servant, and let his father's will do it!"

Although he saved his life, there was a lot of shame. Junchen Shanyu really regretted it. If he had known this, why didn’t he grit his teeth and die under the sword of Emperor Wu of Han? Why was he so timid and so afraid of death?

After everything was finished, the burial began. This matter took not long. While it was buried, there was still constant sorrow and music. Emperor Wu of Han looked at the coffin covered by the soil and cried into tears.

Princess Nangong, Ajiao, Liu Piao, the Queen Mother, and a group of princes all cried so much that they were extremely sad.

"Emperor, second brother, you're leaving like this! Three of us, I'm the only one left! Woo woo!" The eldest princess Liu Piao cried so hard that she beat her chest. There were three siblings in total. King Liang was killed by Empress Dowager Dou, and Emperor Jing died. She was the only one left. She felt lonely and it was difficult to find someone to talk to.

Zhou Yang thought of Emperor Jing's care and couldn't help but burst into tears and was very sad.

After the burial is over, sacrifices are required. During the Qin and Han dynasties, sacrifices like this can kill people mainly kill slaves. Although Qin Shihuang abolished the slave system, it did not mean that there were no slaves, but also a considerable number of official slaves. Some of them could be selected from them to kill them and sacrificed to the emperor.

Furthermore, the emperor could kill his beloved concubines and ask them to accompany him in the underworld.

Of course, Emperor Jing was a wise monarch and did not kill anyone after his will.

However, today we have to kill the Han people, but the prisoners of the Huns. The Huns have been causing trouble for decades, and they will still kill the Huns to sacrifice at the time of the great victory in Longcheng. No one has any objection. This is a consolation to Emperor Jing.

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and teams of selected Xiongnu were taken over. There were no less than a hundred people. They were so scared that their faces changed color and they could not even walk.

The Han soldiers were not caring about those things and pushed them over. The emcee Dong Zhongshu gave the order, and the sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.

Which of them, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Hui of Han, and Emperor Wen of Han, have enjoyed such sacrifices?

Junchen and Shanyu saw it, as if the knife was not slashing on other people's necks, but on their necks, making them feel cold and sweaty.

After another cry, Emperor Jing's funeral was over.

The funeral was over, and Emperor Wu of Han did not lead all civil and military officials to leave, because there was one thing to do and one big thing, that was, rewarding the meritorious soldiers of the Dragon City War.

Emperor Wu of Han cleared his throat, stood in front of Emperor Jing's tomb, faced the tomb, and prayed loudly: "The father is aware of the spirit of heaven. Zhou Yang commanded the troops, and the soldiers used their lives to attack Longcheng and conquered great achievements! The Huns have been broken, and they have carved stones to strait their achievements in front of Maodun's tomb! This achievement has never been achieved in the past. The child inherited the destiny of heaven and rewarded the soldiers with great rewards. If there is any lack, please correct me!"

"Dongdong!" Emperor Wu of Han kowtowed three times and nine times, then stood up, his bright eyes shone brightly, swept across the bodies of Zhou Yang and the soldiers, and said loudly: "Zhou Yang listened to Feng!"

"I'm here!" Zhou Yang stepped forward to receive the title. Zhou Yang could not defeat such a system.

"The great victory in Longcheng, annihilated nearly two million Xiongnu, captured Shanyu alive, and carved stones and entrusted merits. Since Pangu opened the world, there has never been such a grand event in China!" Emperor Wu of Han praised it first and finally said: "The great achievements of Zhou Yang were promoted, and he was promoted to the title of marquis and added 30,000 households!"

The Marquis of Liehou, the Marquis of Che, was changed to the Marquis of Liehou because he violated the taboo of Emperor Wu of Han. It was the highest title among the twenty-level Han titles, and there was no higher than this.
