Chapter 18

"Li Yuntang, why are you climbing so high, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the little emperor's shout suddenly came from behind, Li Yuntang turned around and saw that she was fully dressed and her complexion had returned to normal.

Li Yuntang, who was worried that no one could answer his doubts, then pointed to the big country at the top of the map, and asked the little emperor for advice:
"My lord, I remember that in "Records of Emperor Taizong", when referring to the vast country in the north, they always use the name 'Woros'; why is this country marked as Jochi Ulus on this map? Woolen cloth?
Shouldn't this be the name of a khanate under the Great Mongol Kingdom? "

After the little emperor heard the words, there was no unhappy expression on his face, but he had already scolded Li Yuntang secretly in his heart:
Well you fake eunuch.

In there just now, how dare you do such an excessive thing to me...

Now outside here, are you pretending that nothing happened and asking questions in a serious manner?

You changed your face so quickly, so I ignored you!

After making up his mind, the little emperor turned his head back, found a nearby round table and sat down, grabbed a washed fruit from the table, and bit down hard.

As if what was biting was not an apple, but someone's big pig's hoof.

Seeing the little emperor's petty temper, Li Yuntang quietly shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness, then carefully descended from the ladder, walked to the emperor's side, hammered the emperor's shoulders with his hands, and apologized with a smile on his face:
"My lord, just now... I was the one who was abrupt, so don't get angry."

The little emperor still didn't say a word, he was chewing on the big bite of apple he had just bitten off, his cheeks were bulging, and with his slightly angry face, he looked particularly cute.

After swallowing all the pulp in his mouth, the little emperor opened his mouth leisurely:
"It's not impossible for me to answer you, but you have to answer my question first."

Seeing that the emperor was finally willing to communicate, Li Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief, and replied without any hesitation: "Please ask the emperor to ask, I will definitely do my best."

"Do you know how that Shuchi Ulu Siguo called me a big man?"

What does Maozi call us?

This question made Li Yuntang frowned. After searching for a long time, he finally had some clues:
Mongolia originated from the east bank of the Ergun River, and the process of developing from Mengwu Shiwei to Mongolian tribe happened to be the heyday of Khitan, the country of iron and iron; Call it Khitan.

Later, the Great Mongol Kingdom first destroyed the Jin and then the Song Dynasty, and divided the people in this land into four classes; the third class was the Khitan people.

The Khitan people here, of course, do not refer to the Khitan people, but roughly refer to all the ethnic groups in the entire old land of the Jin Kingdom.

Later, when Batu went west and conquered Kievan Rus, Maozi began the history of being enslaved by the Mongols, and the title he used naturally followed Mongolia.

After figuring out the cause and effect, he tentatively asked: "My lord, do they call me a big man Khitan?"

"It's tolerable for me to be called a Khitan Kun thief, a dignified nobleman of the Heavenly Han Dynasty, which one can't be tolerated?"

Hearing the word "Khitan", the little emperor's voice suddenly rose eight tones, his face obviously a little more worried, and the apple in his hand smashed onto the table with a bang.

"What's even more exasperating is that Taizong and Gaozong sent envoys several times to order their country to be called more easily. They are so lucky that they dare to turn a deaf ear to it!"

The little emperor kept silent when he said this, and his chest heaved slightly, as if he was very angry because of mentioning this matter.

Li Yuntang could understand her expression.

After the Jiashen national disaster more than 100 years ago, in order to warn future generations not to repeat the same mistakes, the big man listed the debate between Hua and Yi as the foundation of the country.

Under this general environment, the Great Han Dynasty divided the Hulu who ruled the Central Plains in the past dynasties, and divided them into those who were not orthodox; the history books recording these dynasties were also added with the name of the Hulu tribe before the title, such as "History of Khitan and Liao Dynasty", "History of Khitan and Liao Dynasty", " "Jurchen Golden History", etc.

Under such circumstances, hearing that one's own country was given the clan name of a Hulu not only uncovered the scars that the Han people were about to perish the Han family, but also ran counter to the propaganda of the country.

It would be strange if it didn't arouse the anger of the successive emperors of the Han family.

Li Yuntang stretched out his hand to caress the little emperor's back, so that she would not get too excited, and asked:
"My lord, is there a solution in the end?"

"Solve it? What will you use to solve it!"

The little emperor's temper didn't improve, instead he yelled at Li Yuntang in a rare way. After speaking, she felt that her words were too violent, so she lowered her voice and sighed:
"The heartland of Shuchi Wulusi is thousands of miles away. Even if Emperor Taizong Gaozong wanted to kill the thief, he was beyond his reach; in the end, he had no choice but to let it go.

But as a response, Emperor Gaozong changed the name of Oros to Jochi Ulus, and engraved the name of the khanate that ruled the Oros for two hundred years on the Oros.

This is called, repay the other body with the other's way! "

It's really a bit of modern diplomacy to splash dirty water on each other!
Seeing that the little emperor's anger gradually dissipated, Li Yuntang returned his attention to the map, and found that there was a large blank area to the east of Bohaier Lake and west of Weique Mountain.

It was neither painted red to represent a big man, nor yellow to represent Jochi Ulus, but was occupied by a piece of white, densely dotted with many black dots to fill in, and there were two big words written on it. Regular script - Xiantian.

"My lord, what is this idle field for?" Li Yuntang asked again in the name of seeking knowledge and resolving doubts, and changing a less irritating topic.

"Do you know that Qingshui will form an alliance?"

The little emperor remained motionless, and still did not answer directly, but asked in reverse.

After such a reminder, Li Yuntang realized that the Qingshui alliance between Datang and Tubo designated the Helan Mountains north of the Yellow River as "Xian Tian"; Do not reduce, do not move without authorization, let alone attack.

At the same time, he also understood the meaning of the emperor, and guessed with his own thinking:
"Presumably this idle land stems from the territorial dispute between my big man and Shuchi Wulusi in the lake area on the east side of Baihaier Lake; because the two sides disagreed and could not reach an agreement, they made a similar 'put on hold' Controversy, joint development' policy?"

"Yes, you are right."

The little emperor finally sorted out his emotions, raised his head in response, and then asked:
"Yuntang, this barren land consumes a lot of money and food;
In addition, the battle of Toungoo in the south was very costly, and it will also cost a lot of money to maintain the garrison of the Burmese capital and reorganize its guards.

Therefore, some people in the court suggested——

Abandon this place..."

"My lord, whoever dares to abandon the land shall be beheaded!"

After hearing this, Li Yuntang cursed directly, and even wanted to hold her ear, admonishing:
Do you know, in the original history, Yongzheng, who cut off this place, was scolded by later generations?

 Chapter 2 is going to be early in the morning, everyone, don’t worry, don’t code and don’t sleep!
