Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 419
Longxi County, Didao.

In the early morning of late spring, the moist wind blows gently, passing from the field to the courtyard, and blowing from the courtyard to the boudoir, which is very cool.Pale daylight also occupies every corner, painting the door with a dreamy white color.

Liu Chan finished washing early, practicing swordsmanship and exercising in the courtyard.

The Han sword is light, thin, narrow and long. Under Liu Chan's swing, the silver light suddenly rises, like a flying dragon, swimming around like a snake, and the cold light is menacing.

After half a sound, Liu Chan's head was sweating hotly, he let out a long breath, and put the Han sword back into the scabbard neatly.

Yuan Chan, who had been waiting for a long time, walked slowly with unaccustomed steps, and presented a hot towel to Liu Chan.

This is Liu Chanxinna's bald-haired Shoutian young daughter Yuanchan.After hunting, Ma Di told Shoutian, who was bald, that the emperor wanted to accept his young daughter as his concubine.The bald-haired Shoutian was very pleasantly surprised. From what he knew, there were very few Han people in Northwest China who married barbarian women in their families, not to mention the emperor. During the Han Dynasty, no emperor accepted a barbarian as his concubine.

The bald Shoutian who calmed down also knew that the emperor accepted his young daughter as a concubine in order to win over the Xianbei tribe.However, the bald-haired Shoutian did not refuse, but very boldly agreed.

Because he knew about this matter, the pure advantages for him outweighed the disadvantages.Don't talk about the advanced culture and delicious food of the Han people, just talking about becoming the emperor's relative can make his power more consolidated, and even have greater power in the future!
So Shoutian, who was bald, went to a scholar and changed his name to Yuantuo for himself and Yuanchan for his young daughter.Send Yuanchan into the palace with a big gift, release all the Han slaves in his tribe, and express his willingness to persuade other Xianbei tribes for the Han to release the Han slaves.

Liu Chan had no choice but to entrust this matter to Lu Yi and Ma Liang to deal with the return of Han slaves.

Liu Chan took the hot towel and wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looked at this Xianbei girl who had just entered the court, and asked, "Is it okay to adapt to the Han court from the tribe?"

The girl blinked her big bright eyes, and through the interpreter of the woman serving beside her, she said in Xianbei language: "Report to Your Majesty, the Han court is magnificent, and the utensils used are very exquisite. It's just that the courtiers don't know etiquette very well, and the elegant words are also there." study!"

Liu Chan handed the hot towel to Gong'e, and said with a smile: "Han is no different from Xianbei, and the court etiquette is not known to the common people. Anyone who enters the palace needs to learn court etiquette, including Mrs. Li. It's just that you don't know the etiquette. Slow down what you learn. After today, you can learn more elegant words."

As he spoke, Liu Chan looked at the woman beside Mrs. Yuan and said, "You usually pay more attention!"

"No!" The woman replied.

This woman is a Han from Hexi. She was sold as a slave due to the war in her early years and became a slave of the Xianbei Bald Hair Tribe.The bald-haired Shoutian sent his daughter to the palace, worried that the young girl would not know Chinese, so he searched the tribe for a woman who knew Xianbei and Chinese, so this woman entered the palace with the Yuan family.

Yuan Chan nodded with a vague understanding, and replied in a low voice: "No! The concubine should learn the elegant language as soon as possible."

Liu Chan glanced at Yuan Chan's yellow hair which was covered up, stretched out his hand to lift off her scarf, revealing her yellow hair, and said, "I like your yellow hair and blue eyes, you don't need to cover up your yellow hair when you meet anyone in the future."

"No!" Yuan Chan said with a faint smile, revealing her dimples.

The Xianbei people belong to the yellow race. The difference from the Han people is that their eyes and hair are yellow, their noses are high and their eyes are deep, and their hair is thick (Note ①).

People in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were relatively contemptuous of Xianbei people's appearance, which is different from Han people, and often ridiculed it, especially the feature of high nose and deep eyes.But Liu Chan, who came from later generations, has no dislike for Yuan Chan with high nose and deep eyes, yellow hair and blue eyes, on the contrary, he likes it quite a lot.

During the conversation between Liu Chan and Yuan Chan, from the corner of the eye, he saw several Xianbei women waiting in the corner of the courtyard with a few children, and asked casually, "Did Madam summon relatives today?"

Yuan Chan nodded, and said obediently: "Your Majesty, my father is afraid that my concubine will be homesick, so I let my sister-in-law, sister, and nephew go to Di Dao to meet my concubine to express our friendship."

Liu Chan looked curiously at a few Xianbei children in the corner, and asked, "Madam's nephew, is there someone with the function of a bald tree?"

The function of the bald tree is the grandson of the bald Shoutian.In 270 A.D., Qinliang rebelled, and Sima Yan dispatched almost all the famous Jin Dynasty generals to the northwest battlefield until Ma Long came out to quell the nine-year war.

The rebellion lost four Qinliang governors, Hu Lie, Qianhong, Su Yu, and Yang Xin, before and after the Western Jin Dynasty, and lost tens of thousands of elites.Sima Yan lamented: "Although we recovered from the bandits in Wu and Shu, we haven't come here yet."

But at this time, the function of the bald tree is just an eight or nine-year-old kid.

Yuan Chan followed Liu Chan's gaze, pointed to an eight or nine-year-old Xianbei boy, and said, "For Your Majesty, the man in the red robe is the elder nephew of my concubine's bald-haired tree function."

Then, Yuan Chan waved towards the corner of the courtyard, and shouted in Xianbei: "The bald tree is functional! Come here, uncle is looking for you!"

Under the signal of his wife, Bald Hair Yangsheng, Bald Shuji walked over without any timidity.

The bald tree machine saluted Liu Chan with the etiquette of meeting Xianbei Shanyu, and said in blunt Chinese: "Greetings to your majesty, may your majesty live forever and be happy!"

Seeing that the etiquette of the bald tree function is wrong, Yuan Chan is about to speak out to correct it.

Liu Chan waved his hand to stop him, looked at the great demon king who would dominate the Northwest in the future, and asked with a smile: "It's okay, it's normal to not know the etiquette when we meet for the first time."

The bald tree looked at Liu Chan, and said with a serious face: "Father taught me the courtesy of paying respects, but I thought my uncle was not only the majesty of the Han people, but also the Shanyu of a certain Xianbei."

Liu Chan laughed, suddenly fell in love with this young man, and asked, "Do you have a Chinese name?"

The bald tree shook his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there is no Chinese name!"

Liu Chan pondered for a while and said, "In that case, I will give you a name!"

Liu Chan walked around for a while, looked at the function of the bald tree, and said: ""Lu Shi Chunqiu" said: "Its utensils are magnificent. You are my nephew, and you need to show your talents to show off your achievements. It's better to use the name of Hong and the name of the tree. Yuan is the surname."

"Yuanhong! Yuanhong!" The bald tree mumbled twice. Although he didn't know the meaning of Lu Hanchunqiu, he just thought the name was nice, so he quickly thanked Liu Chan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Hong!"

Liu Chan lightly raised the corner of his mouth, and put his arms around Yuan Chan's slender and powerful waist.Asked: "What did you learn in the tribe?"

Yuan Hong said proudly: "Hong learned riding and shooting in the tribe, and Aye also taught me strategy."

Liu Chan looked at Yuan Hong's small and strong body, and said in a deep voice, "You have learned nothing but superficial things in the tribe. After today, you will go to Chengdu with your aunt to study scriptures with your elder brothers. I will arrange for the general to teach you. The art of war and martial arts. When the art of war is completed, I will help my uncle to put down the world and make contributions. How about it?"

Yuan Chan showed joy, thinking it was her own fault, she hurriedly called out: "Your Majesty is still thankful!"

This arrangement was beyond Yuan Hong's cognition, he was at a loss and under Yuan Chan's guidance, he shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Hong!"

Liu Chan stepped forward and touched Yuan Hong's head with a smile. Liu Chan really wanted to see what kind of glorious page this great demon king who would dominate the Northwest in the future would leave in history under his own guidance.
