The most arrogant in history

Chapter 645: The Daughter of a Commoner.

Jiang Yourong suppressed her laughter:

"Yulian told me that Huang Jingzu liked the daughter of a grocery store owner in Kangfu Vegetable Market in Xicheng, whose name was Xiaocui. I was wondering, all the princes and ministers, civil and military officials in the court all had beautiful daughters, why did Huang Jingzu not like them, but fell in love with the daughter of a commoner?

I guess that Xiao Cui must be as pretty as a fairy."

"This is the power of love." Ye Kun laughed: "I'll ask Huang Jingzu tomorrow. As long as he likes it and he has no objection, it's fine."

Jiang Yourong nodded slightly.

The next day, Ye Kun went to court and met with foreign envoys.

The Kingdom of Loulan sent several envoys, first of all to express their gratitude, thanking Ye Kun for sending troops last year to quell the civil strife in Loulan and preserve the status of Queen Ayiman as king.

Then, a handwritten letter from the Queen of Loulan was presented.

In her letter, Ayiman also expressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Kun because Ye Kun broke his promise and did not visit Loulan on time.

Ye Kun smiled and ordered to reward the Loulan envoy and send him to the state guesthouse to rest.

The envoy of the Kushan Empire asked for an audience and bowed before Your Highness.

Ye Kun nodded: "Get up."

The Kushan Empire envoy stood up, clasped his fists and said:

"The great Han emperor is powerful and has taken over all the lands. He has conquered Jiaozhi and Yunmian, and now he is raising an army to invade our Kushan Empire. General Qin Erwu is extremely vicious. He has killed people and set fire to people, and has captured the people of our Kushan Empire, and has seized our land, wealth, and women.

How can China, a great country that prides itself on being a nation of propriety and justice, be so brutal?"

Qin Erwu was standing nearby, pulling out the small pistol from his waist, glaring and cursing:

"You bastard, you've come to China to file a complaint? Do you believe I can blow your head off with a bullet?"

This small pistol is the latest product produced by a military factory. The bullet comes with a primer. In terms of quality, it is comparable to the box gun of the World War II era.

"General Qin, please don't be rude."

Ye Kun stopped Qin Erwu and said to the envoy of the Kushan Empire with a smile: "Dear Kushan envoy, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Please listen to my explanation."

The Kushan envoy clasped his fists and said, "Please ask the Emperor of Han to explain."

Ye Kun nodded, confident:

"Since ancient times, everyone is equal. We Chinese are equal to the people of your Kushan Empire. But your Kushan Empire oppressed the Indian natives, causing them to resist.

We landed on the Indian Peninsula to benefit all living beings, not to fight. Those Indian natives, oppressed by you, bought our weapons and went to fight you. It's not our fault.

General Qin Erwu, out of righteous indignation, helped the Indian natives and fought several battles with you. Now, I have transferred Qin Erwu back."

The Kushan envoy frowned: "But you have occupied a lot of our land..."

Ye Kun waved his hand: "Those lands belong to the natives of Tianzhu. The natives of Tianzhu invited us to go there, and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, the predecessor of your Kushan Empire was the Great Yuezhi in the Western Regions. It was you who went south and occupied the Tianzhu Peninsula.

You have to know that the Indian Peninsula was an ancient civilization a thousand years ago, but you occupied it. The Indian natives just took back the land of their ancestors. "

The Kushan Empire on the Indian subcontinent was the predecessor of the Yuezhi Empire, and its historical context is clear and distinct.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions in order to unite with the Dayuezhi and attack the Xiongnu.

But at that time, the Dayuezhi gradually moved south, getting farther and farther away from China and the Xiongnu.

Now, the northwest of the Indian subcontinent is the territory of the Kushan Empire.

The Kushan envoy sighed: "We beg the Han Emperor to stop invading our Kushan Empire. Otherwise, we will cut off all business dealings with the Han Empire."

Ye Kun laughed: "We don't mind if we cut off our business relationship. But can you, the Kushan Empire, bear it?"

Sang Buyi sneered, "You people in the Kushan Empire are used to our fine steel and all kinds of tools, as well as porcelain, glass, silk, cotton, brown sugar and white sugar. It can be said that all your people are using the goods of our Huaxia Empire. If we really cut off business relations, I'm afraid your people will rebel."

Today's Chinese products have become a dumping situation for the Kushan Empire.

Because Hu Gaoyuan established a porcelain factory, a glass factory, a sugar factory, a steel mill, and a glass mirror factory in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, recruited local natives as workers, produced locally, and dumped the products locally.

The wealth accumulated by the aristocracy of the Kushan Empire for many years is now flowing out continuously.

Of course, this also brought great convenience to the Kushan Empire, promoted overall productivity and improved the overall living standards.

Given the situation, it was impossible for the Kushan Empire to completely cut off trade between the two countries.

The Kushan envoy sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Then please ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to order us to stop attacking us, and the two countries to live in peace and do business and make money."

Ye Kun nodded: "I can promise you this. The two countries should live in peace."

The Kushan envoy was overjoyed and said with a smile:

"I know that the Emperor of Han is kind. Our king also said that he hopes to marry the Han Empire. The most beautiful princess of our Kushan Empire, who is eighteen years old this year, can marry the Emperor of Han and establish friendly relations from now on.

If the Emperor of the Han Dynasty likes other treasures, we can also send them to him."

"I don't want an eighteen-year-old princess."

Ye Kun laughed loudly, and suddenly became serious: "In my Han Empire, there are many young men, but not enough women. So I hope to immigrate 10,000 young women from your Kushan Empire to form a grand marriage between the two countries."

The Kushan envoy frowned: "Ten thousand women?"

Ye Kun smiled: "Your Kushan Empire has a population of tens of millions, and ten thousand women is not too many, right?"

In fact, the total population of the Indian subcontinent is less than 10 million.

Ye Kun said this to set a trap for the other party.

The Kushan envoy smiled bitterly: "We do have 10,000 women, but we cannot transport them here, so we can only send them to your jurisdiction."

At this time, the Kushan Empire was still a slave society.

Not to mention ten thousand women, even thirty thousand women are insignificant in their eyes.

Ye Kun nodded: "As long as you send them to our jurisdiction, we will send a ship to pick them up. I will send someone to discuss this matter with you slowly. Of course, I will give you money or other scarce materials. It's a fair trade."

The Kushan envoy clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Emperor Han. I would also like to ask for instructions from our king."

Ye Kun waved his hand and ordered the court to be dismissed.

Sang Buyi and Ma Zhao, however, stayed and followed Ye Kun to the imperial study.

Ye Kun asked: "My Lords, is there anything else?"

Ma Zhao hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to bring in 10,000 beauties from India?"

Ye Kun sighed: "Actually, ten thousand is not enough. I hope it is one hundred thousand, or one million."

Sang Buyi was shocked: "Your Majesty, why do you need so many Indian beauties?"

Ye Kun asked with a squinting look: "What did you say?"
