Volume 1, Chapter 112:

What's the point of marrying his mother if you want to be his godfather?

When Choro Khan knelt down and called him godfather, the whole court could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was like petrified, feeling that this world was so unreal.

The Minister of Rites was even about to have high blood pressure. His body softened and he almost fell to the ground. The people next to him quickly helped him up.

The Minister of Rites was still confused.

"Adopt a godfather?"

"The Huns actually acknowledged the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty as their godfather!"

"This is simply unheard of."

"I have lived for most of my life and heard many strange stories in ancient times, but I never thought that there would be such absurd and bizarre things in the world."

The Minister of Rites muttered to himself, feeling that he had lived in vain for so many years.

The other civil officials also nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much with the Minister of Rites's statement, and sighed:

"Don't say you haven't seen it, we haven't seen it, even our ancestors haven't seen it."

"We are fighting the Xiongnu to death, and we are about to launch a war to destroy the country," "

But the Khan of the Xiongnu came to us and recognized him as his godfather."

They didn't know what to say.

This is simply too ridiculous.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou was also stunned with shock, his eyes bulged out like dead fish, and his brain had long been short-circuited.

Is this the terrifying thing about Bai Qi?

Making the Xiongnu pay tribute is not Bai Qi's ultimate goal.

You can actually make the Xiongnu recognize you as your godfather directly!

You are quite good at playing!

Just as he was shocked by Bai Qi's terror, the general Cao Changqiu swallowed hard, and then said with surprise:

"Your Majesty, this is simply a great thing!"

"The Xiongnu signed an alliance with the Great Zhou, and they may regret it later." "

But the Xiongnu Khan recognized your Majesty as his godfather, so the Xiongnu is your Majesty's godson. Once he regrets, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

"Even if it is in the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Khan will have to bear verbal criticism."

"And once the Xiongnu recognizes your Majesty as his godfather, he will definitely lose the support of many Xiongnu people," "

In the future, he will definitely rely on our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Even if he doesn't want to cooperate with us in the future, it's not up to him." As soon as

Cao Changqiu finished speaking, the civil officials nodded again and again.

They attach great importance to heaven, earth, monarch, parents, and teachers.

Even in the Xiongnu, you have to value heaven, earth, monarch, parents, and teachers, because this exists in the blood.

Although the Xiongnu's heaven, earth, monarch, parents, and teachers do not have as much influence as the Central Plains dynasty, they still have some binding force.

"As the general said, once the Xiongnu Khan recognizes the Great Zhou Emperor as his father, he will be controlled by the Great Zhou."

"And he will also lose the support of many Xiongnu people."

"If he wants to sit firmly on the Khan's throne and become the overlord of the grassland, he must rely on the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress those tribes that refuse to obey."

"In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty will extend its hand to the grassland and will have strong control over Chuluo Khan."

"This is much more effective than a covenant."

Blood is very important on the grassland.

When they introduce themselves to others, they will say that I am the son of so-and-so, the darling of heaven, and the blood of such and such a tribe.

This is a primitive and backward tribe, a kind of hierarchy.

They use blood and ancestors to show the dignity of their status, and it is natural to obtain privileges.

In short, it is a competition of fathers.

Therefore, fathers are not so easy to recognize.

This is to shake the legitimacy of Chuluo Khan's rule over the grassland!

At this moment, their eyes looking at Bai Qi were full of deep awe!

Even if the civil and military are not in harmony, even if they think Bai Qi has committed too many murders and is unruly.

But no civil official doubted Bai Qi's ability.

Who has been as fierce as Bai Qi for thousands of years?

The Minister of Rites immediately said to the Emperor of the Great Zhou: "Your Majesty, this method is feasible!"

Several other ministers also came out. At this moment, the prime minister was not in the court, and the power of several ministers was the greatest. They immediately seconded the proposal of the Minister of Rites.

They all thought that the method proposed by Bai Qi was simply wonderful.

Military generals also came out.

At this moment, the civil and military officials unexpectedly reached a unified opinion as never before.

After all, if this matter could be promoted, they would have a heavy stroke in the history books of the ages. Only a fool would be willing to go against it.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou swallowed hard. He felt that he was about to ascend to heaven, and Bai Qi actually smashed one credit after another on his head.

He didn't want to become an eternal saint.

The grassland not only had to surrender, but also had to recognize him as a father. Which emperor could do it?

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so excited that he wanted to go to the toilet, but he could still hold it in. So he looked at Chuluo Khan excitedly and shouted, "I will accept you as my godson." "

Thank you, Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no, thank you, godfather!"

At this moment, Chuluo Khan kowtowed heavily and sighed in his heart. His lifelong reputation was ruined today.

Since he has already recognized his godfather, he wants to make this relationship solid.

He has lost all his dignity, how can he not get some benefits?

Since he has decided to rely on the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must be the king on the grassland. He will be a grandson here, and when he returns to the grassland, he will be a grandfather!

So he kowtowed to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and said, "Godfather, in order for our two families to maintain a long-lasting friendship, we also need a marriage between the two families, so that the relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xiongnu can become closer."

Marriage?

Although it is not a marriage of peace, it makes all the ministers uncomfortable.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty also felt that the marriage was not a good idea at this moment. After all, he married the princess because he was afraid that the Xiongnu would attack Zhou Dynasty. Now he is the godfather

of Xiongnu Khan. If he still marries the princess, he will really become a grandson!

So the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said: "Marriage is impossible. Although I have several daughters, it is not appropriate to marry them to you!"

He wanted to marry his daughter to Chuluo Khan's father before.

Wouldn't this mess up the generations?

This was very important in ancient times.

Other civil and military officials also nodded. If they still married the Xiongnu at this time, it would indeed be a bit of a downgrade.

Even a fool would not want to jump out and lick the Xiongnu at this time, which would make people poke their spines.

Chuluo Khan was confused. Why didn't he agree?

He said strangely, "Godfather, did you understand me wrong? The marriage I mentioned does not mean that I want to marry the princess of Da Zhou!"

He really did not dare to marry the princess of Da Zhou. A large part of his military force now comes from his own Rouge.

He is a gigolo.

If he marries another woman, his Rouge will not dry up, and then he may be in trouble.

Marrying the princess of Da Zhou will do him no good and only a fool would do it.

He thinks that the people of Da Zhou are too stupid.

Don't you think of other ways besides marrying the princess?

The emperor of Da Zhou and others were puzzled, "If you don't marry the princess of Da Zhou, how can you have a marriage?"

Bai Qi rolled his eyes and really wanted to curse, you are sick in the brain!

He had to speak, and said angrily:

"Why can't the emperor of Da Zhou marry a woman of the Huns when Da Zhou and Xiongnu are married?"

"Does the Khan of Xiongnu have to marry the princess of Da Zhou?"

"Is it glorious to marry your daughter?"

Bai Qi's scolding made the face of the emperor of Da Zhou dim.

The civil officials felt humiliated.

But think about it, why can't the Great Zhou marry the women of the Xiongnu?

Why didn't they think so before?

Isn't it because the Great Zhou couldn't afford to offend the Xiongnu before!

Now that they are strong, of course they have to do the opposite.

So the Minister of Rites stepped out and said: "General Bai Qi is right! In the past, when we married, we married our daughters. This time, we have to marry our wives!"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt uncomfortable when he thought of finding a Xiongnu woman for himself.

To be honest, there are really few Xiongnu women who are more beautiful than the women of the Great Zhou. After all, the women of the Xiongnu stay on the grasslands all year round, exposed to the wind and sun.

Their skin can't be compared with the women of the Central Plains.

And they often eat beef and mutton, and the smell on their bodies is also very strong.

But after thinking about it, for the sake of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, he reluctantly married one. At worst, he would put her in the deep palace in the future and not favor her.

So the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty coughed lightly and said, "Chuluo Khan, which sister do you want to marry to me?"

All the civil and military officials looked at Chuluo Khan at this moment.

Chuluo Khan was confused, and he said strangely, "Why should I marry my sister to my godfather?"

This generation is too messy!

"If you don't marry your sister, who will you marry?" The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also confused.

And the next moment, he was no longer confused.

I only heard Chuluo Khan say, "You are my godfather, of course I want to marry my mother to you!"

Puff!

At this moment, the eunuch on the side couldn't help laughing.

But seeing the constipated face of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he quickly covered his mouth again to prevent himself from laughing.

The civil officials around were even more stunned.

What the hell?

Chuluo Khan of the Xiongnu actually wanted to marry his own mother?

But there seems to be nothing wrong with this.

It feels quite suitable to marry his mother to his godfather.

The corners of the mouths of the Minister of Rites and others twitched, suppressing their smiles.

The general Cao Changqiu held his stomach and almost sat on the ground with laughter. He didn't care whether the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked ugly or not.

He even fanned the flames and said, "I think this method is feasible. Your Majesty actually recognized Chuluo Khan as his godson and married his mother. This is also natural!"

After saying that, he sat directly on the ground and almost got a stitch in the side with laughter.

The generals laughed even more.

Some people laughed until tears came out, and just shouted for others to pat their backs, otherwise they would be laughed to death.

Chuluo Khan was speechless and said blankly, "Marrying my mother, is this funny?" The emperor of

the Great Zhou Dynasty felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He stared at Bai Qi and cursed in his heart, this must be Bai Qi's bad idea!

I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I want to marry a widow, and I don't know how many hands she has.

He knows that if the husband of a Hun widow dies, she will marry someone else immediately.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to object.

Bai Qi said quietly, "Your Majesty, this is related to the safety of the country of the Great Zhou. Only by marrying the mother of Chuluo Khan can you truly become the father of Chuluo Khan."

"And with Chuluo Khan's mother as a hostage, you can better control Chuluo Khan in the future."

"This can be regarded as a handle that Chuluo Khan has given you."

"Just obey it!"

Bai Qi smiled maliciously, letting you think about beauties all day long, and this time giving you a Xiongnu beauty.

Damn it, damn it!

The emperor of the Great Zhou felt like he was being dragged into a brothel to sell himself.

This Bai Qi is so hateful.

Let me marry a widow, and you say it as if it is for the country and the people.

He was about to object when the civil officials came out one after another and said,

"Your Majesty, please put your family and country first and marry the mother of Choro Khan!"

"Your Majesty, this trip will definitely go down in history!"

"The people of the Great Zhou will definitely be grateful for your majesty's grace."

"Please obey your majesty!"

The civil officials were already very happy, and some of them were even laughing secretly, but they still stood up one by one and put the emperor of the Great Zhou on the fire.

Letting you marry a Xiongnu woman is a bargain for you!

The emperor of the Great Zhou felt like he was going crazy. It turns

out that being a godfather is not so easy.

It turns out that being a father is a very painful thing.

And these bastards are talking about being famous in history, which is simply a bad name for thousands of years.

I, the emperor of the Great Zhou, married a widow, and a Xiongnu widow. This is simply the most shameful thing among all emperors.

The most important thing is that he can't refute it now.

Because not only Bai Qi was forcing him, but all the civil and military officials were forcing him, as if if he didn't marry a widow, he would be sorry for the Great Zhou, sorry for the people of the world, and sorry for the common people.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt that his lungs were about to explode.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll marry her!"

Choro Khan was delighted. Anyway, his mother was worthless now, and she had been robbed by his brother before. This time, if he married the Emperor of the Great Zhou, he could get her back the position of grassland overlord.

This is simply the utmost love and filial piety!

Choro Khan immediately kowtowed to the Emperor of the Great Zhou and said: "Thank you very much, godfather! I will send my mother to marry godfather as soon as possible!"

"Maybe in the future, godfather can give birth to a younger brother for me."

Chuluo Khan thought to himself, if you and my mother have a second child, then our relationship will be even closer.

Damn it, damn it!

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty almost vomited blood.

It's fine if I marry your mother, but you actually want me to give you a younger brother!

You might as well kill me with a knife.

Don't you know what your mother looks like?

With your ugly face, your mother won't be pretty!

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty waved his hand and said, "Let's do this. I feel very uncomfortable and I will leave the court!"

"For the rest, you should discuss with Bai Qi, General Cao Changqiu, and the six ministers, and don't bother me anymore." The

emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty retreated quickly after saying that.

If he stayed any longer, he would really be disgusted to vomit.

Back in the bedroom, he scolded Bai Qi half to death. Bai Qi was here to disgust him.

Even if you want to marry, you can at least let Chuluo Khan's sister marry me. Even if she is a widow, she is better than Chuluo Khan's mother.

Bai Qi, you are not a human being.

After the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty left, the civil and military officials immediately pulled Chuluo Khan with a smile on their faces. The civil officials wanted to discuss the matter of Chuluo Khan paying tribute to the emperor.

This matter must be finalized so that it can be announced to the world.

Bai Qi objected at the time and said in a cold voice: "Before the end of the war with the Xiongnu, we must ensure that the news is not leaked."

"If anyone dares to leak the news, he will be killed without mercy!" The civil officials were so angry

when they heard this. What did they have to do with it?

If there is no ceremony of paying tribute to the emperor, how can the civil officials participate in it?

General Cao Changqiu stood up. He agreed with Bai Qi's approach very much. After looking around, he said in a cold voice: "

This battle against the Xiongnu is related to the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't care what your position is or whether you are a military general, but who dares to leak the military secrets?"

"It's not just beheading, I must exterminate all nine clans!"

The general's words made these civil officials sweat.

The military generals all agreed, and someone even suggested: "It would be better to lock up all those who know the information together to prevent them from contacting the outside world."

When he said this, the civil officials' faces turned green.

How long will they be locked up?

Will they be locked up until the war with the Huns ends?

Bai Qi and Cao Changqiu looked at each other and nodded slightly. This is a good idea.

So General Cao Changqiu waved his hand and said: "Come on, seal the hall. All those who have seen Choro Khan today will be locked up."

"We can only contact the outside world after the war with the Huns is over."

With his order, the guards in front of the hall came forward. The civil officials cursed loudly and wanted to resist, but there was nothing they could do.

Because the current General Cao Changqiu doesn't care about them. If the Great Zhou Kingdom is destroyed this time, no one will survive.

General Cao Changqiu directly pulled out the long sword of the guards in front of the hall and shouted angrily: "Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot!"
