Meton and Gao Shilian discussed for a while and came up with several methods to restrict the tribes of the grassland. The old fox and the young fox looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, they felt a sense of camaraderie.
"Young Master, Lord Gao! Princess Guang Hua has invited the two of you to a banquet tonight. "Tie An suddenly came in and reported a piece of news that surprised both of them.
"Princess Guang Hua!" Gao Shilian frowned and couldn't help but pause.
Meton also frowned. The two of them naturally knew Princess Guang Hua's motive. Obviously, it was for Murong Shun's Tuyuhun throne.
If Murong Shun had come to invite them, the two of them would probably have ignored him. However, since it was Princess Guang Hua who had suffered for the people of the Central Plains, the two of them naturally couldn't ignore her.
Gao Shilian pondered for a while and nodded. "Replying to the envoy, it is the Old Man and Merton. They will definitely arrive on time."
In the Hulun tribe, a huge yurt was erected. As night fell, the yurt was brightly lit and luxurious.
Although the Hulun chief was the head of the tribe, he didn't even have the right to participate in tonight's banquet. His only task was to lead Meton and Gao Shilian to the banquet and then leave.
Outside the banquet, Princess Guang Hua slowly stood up and bowed to Gao Shilian. "Lord Gao, it's been forty years since we last met. How have you been?"
"Forty years have passed in the blink of an eye. You and I have both grown old!" Gao Shilian sighed.
Meton's eyes widened. He didn't expect Princess Guang Hua and Gao Shilian to know each other. However, it made sense. When Gao Shilian was in the Sui Dynasty, he was also a member of the Guanlong Clan. Princess Guang Hua was a member of the Sui Dynasty's imperial family. They were about the same age, so it was very likely that they knew each other.
Thinking of this, Meton couldn't help but look at Murong Shun. When he saw Murong Shun's face with some Hu blood, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Murong Shun also felt like he had been f * cked. However, with his forbearing character, he forced himself to suppress it and awkwardly saluted Meton with his hands folded.
Princess Guang Hua then looked at Modun and smiled gently. "This is the second time I've met Marquis Mo. The first time was when I failed to recognize Marquis Mo. I didn't expect that after 40 years, there would be such a talented young man in Chang 'an."
"You flatter me, Princess Guang Hua!" Modun said humbly.
"Not at all! Back in the day, I've seen many young talents in Chang 'an who were unparalleled in the world. Unfortunately, most of them are mediocre now, and most of them have spent their entire lives working, but their achievements can't compare to Marquis Mo. "Princess Guang Hua said frankly.
Gao Shilian's face immediately turned red. He was probably one of the insufferably arrogant young men that Princess Guang Hua had mentioned.
Princess Guang Hua waved her hand. Suddenly, Tuyuhun girls brought plates of grassland delicacies to the four of them.
"Please sit down. There are no outsiders today. I've been away from Chang 'an for many years. Now that I've heard your official words, I feel very close." Princess Guang Hua sighed.
Gao Shilian was silent for a while and said, "Now that the brick road from Tuyuhun to Chang 'an has been built, it's very convenient for you to return to Chang' an. I believe Princess Yang will be very happy."
Princess Yang was the birth mother of Li Ke, King of Wu. She was also a princess of the Sui Dynasty. However, she was one generation lower than Princess Guang Hua.
"I've heard a lot about Merton's brick road and four-wheeled carriage. Unfortunately, if Merton was born 40 years earlier, Yang Guang wouldn't have destroyed such a big country." Princess Guang Hua said.
The thing Yang Guang did that made people angry the most was building the Grand Canal. If the brick road had been built earlier, Yang Guang would have used more than enough manpower and money to build the Grand Canal to build all the brick roads in the Tang dynasty.
"I can't go back. I can't go back." Princess Guang Hua shook her head and sighed. Since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, there was no place for her in Chang 'an. Even if she went back, she would only be reminded of the past.
"Come on, let's drink a cup of Tuyuhun's specialty Humerus. Although it's not as good as Merton's Quenching Qianchou, it has a special taste. I've drunk this wine countless times when I couldn't sleep at night." Princess Guang Hua picked up the cup in front of her and drank it in a forthright manner.
Gao Shilian sighed slightly and drank it without hesitation.
Modun could only try his best to keep her company. From their conversation, he could tell that the Princess of Guang Hua must have been an extremely forthright young lady in the past. She was completely different from the luxurious Tuyuhundun he had first met.
Gao Shilian and Princess Guang Hua drank to their hearts' content and talked about the dark secrets of the young talents in Chang 'an. They even talked about Yang Guang's many embarrassing things.
Gao Shilian talked about the changes in Chang 'an City, and Princess Guang Hua cooperated with him. The whole banquet went on happily until Princess Guang Hua put down her wine cup and asked, "Now that the two of you are the real leaders of Tuyuhun, I just want to ask, how does Chang' an City plan to deal with us? Kill us or torture us, please give me a definite answer."
Gao Shilian's face darkened and said, "After so many years, you are still so temperamental. Now Chang 'an's energy is focused on the flood in Shandong and has no time to care about Tuyuhun."
Princess Guang Hua sneered and said, "You want to take enough wealth from Tuyuhun to make up for the deficit of the imperial court. The people of the Tang dynasty are people, but the people of Tuyuhun are not!"
Gao Shilian was suddenly speechless.
Meton said in a deep voice, "I didn't force the people of Tuyuhun. On the contrary, from now on, the people of Tuyuhun will live better and better lives."
Princess Guang Hua waved her hand and said, "I know what Merton has done. I don't care about some cattle and sheep. As long as you two agree to let Shun 'er inherit the throne, I can even take the initiative to cooperate with Merton to make up for the remaining deficit."
Gao Shilian's face changed and said, "You are still obsessed with power. If you didn't insist on doing so, how could you end up like this today?"
Princess Guang Hua fell silent for a long time and said, "I don't regret my choice at that time! If I could do it again, maybe I would still make the same choice. "
Meton was very satisfied and the fire of gossip was burning in his heart.
"As long as Shun 'er inherits the throne, from now on, the Tang dynasty and Tuyuhun will be on the same side forever. For generations to come, we will guard Xijiang for the Tang dynasty. There will be no more war between the two countries." Princess Guang Hua said proudly.
"Please help me. I will definitely repay you in the future." Murong Shun stood up and bowed to Gao Shilian and Meton.
Gao Shilian's face was ashen and he didn't say a word. Meton looked at Princess Guang Hua and Murong Shun and sighed, "Princess, can you listen to me?"
Princess Guang Hua nodded solemnly and said, "Guang Hua has heard of the great name of Mo Family for a long time. It is Guang Hua's honor to hear the good words of Mo Family's great sage."
Meton said solemnly, "In Mo Zi's secret book, there was a very interesting story recorded. Once upon a time, there was a rich man who was stupid and ignorant. Once, he went to another rich man's house and saw a three-story building. The building was tall, big, and magnificent. He was very envious. He immediately called a carpenter and said, 'Build me a building like that.'
So the carpenter began to measure the foundation, stack the bricks, and build the building. The rich man said, 'I don't want the bottom two floors. You just have to build me the top floor.' The carpenter replied, 'There is no such thing! How can you build the second floor instead of the bottom floor? If you don't build the second floor, how can you talk about building the third floor? '
This stupid rich man stubbornly said, 'I don't want the bottom two floors. You must build me the top floor!' When other people heard this, they all laughed at him and called him a castle in the air. "
"A castle in the air!" Gao Shilian couldn't help but look at Murong Shun and couldn't help but shake his head.
Meton sighed and said, "Princess, you have sacrificed a lot for the people of the world. I'll be frank. Although Prince Shun's status is legitimate, this is a barbarian land. He has no tribe, and no tribe to rely on. It's like a castle in the air. It can't be built."
Princess Guang Hua's face was livid. After a long time, she said, "That's why I asked the Tang dynasty for help. Even if Murong Shun was only the King of Tuyuhun for one day and died an unnatural death, his life would be worth it. After he died, his son would inherit the throne. As long as the throne is in the hands of our descendants, even a great sacrifice would be worth it."
Murong Shun understood the meaning. His face changed, and he nodded firmly. He had endured for fifteen years. Now that he was the closest to the throne, he would not give up even if he had to take a great risk.
"You Yangs are a bunch of lunatics!" Gao Shilian roared.
