Chapter 339 The False Messenger That Can Stand The Test
Although Liu Yu and the caravan were allowed to enter the territory of Yuezhi, the city lord was very careful. Not only did he remove all the guards in the caravan, he also did not allow them to stay in the pass, and he wanted to send them to the capital of Yuezhi as if he was escorting prisoners.
When Moro arrived in the territory of Yuezhi, he seemed very cautious and did not make any excessive demands. His iconic laughter was never heard by Liu Yu. It seemed that Yuezhi was not Moro's Feng Shui treasure land. Jason seemed to be indifferent and continued to hold his "treasure chest", for fear that someone would take his treasure. As for Yuezhi, he only regarded it as a stop on the road.
The little beggar was like a soulless person. He only knew to sit in the carriage in a daze, not even saying a word. Liu Yu wanted to tease her and relieve her boredom, but the little beggar turned his head aside and ignored him.
"Brother Moro, what kind of country is the Yuezhi Kingdom?" Liu Yu had to chat with the same boring Moro.
Moro sighed and said, "The Yuezhi Kingdom gives people a mysterious impression, really mysterious. They rarely interact with people from other countries. Although their country also has kings, as far as I know, they have the final say is their general."
Shogun? Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.
"Their king is very cowardly, and their generals are like kings, and are loved by the people. Their generals led their troops to fight and fight, and their military strength is very strong, so even the Japanese dare not take their ideas easily."
Hearing this, Liu Yu felt that this country was no different from a country that was in seclusion and self-reliant. It should be militarism first.
Moro continued: "The people in their country are divided into third-class people. The first is aristocrat, and there is no need to pay taxes. The second is a superior person. He pays very heavy taxes."
"What about the third class?" Liu Yu asked.
"The third-class people are inferior people. The inferior people have no property of their own and do not have to pay taxes. In their country, the third-class people are the most, and they are very loyal to their generals and kings."
Liu Yuxin said this was quite interesting, why didn’t he even have his own property? Why didn’t he resist the most oppressed inferior person?
When Liu Yu asked this question, Moro said in surprise: "Their generals are very capable and the king is also very capable. Although the inferior people have a low status, under the leadership of the wise generals and the king, they produce a lot of food and cattle and sheep, without worries about food and clothing, which is rare in the surrounding countries. Why do they resist?"
Liu Yu said disdainfully: "If they have their own property and need to pay taxes, then their production enthusiasm will be higher and they will create more food and wealth. Why do you think they should resist?"
Moro didn't understand it very much, so he thought for a while and said, "Young man, I don't understand what you said. I won't say it anymore. When they hear it, they will arrest us and behead us. In Yuezhi Kingdom, we must never say the right and wrong of their kings and generals. This is the biggest sin!"
Liu Yuxin said that it seems that the king and general of the Yuezhi Kingdom are very good at managing the country and can control public opinion. No wonder big merchants like Moro are unwilling to come here to do business.
"Then their general will not rebel against the king?" Liu Yu asked.
Logically speaking, if there are powerful ministers in the country, they should not allow the existence of the king. They can become kings themselves.
"No, no, their generals are very obedient, because their country has two generals. And... it seems not very harmonious!"
Liu Yuxin said that this is a big surprise. The two generals checked and balanced each other and both wanted to get help from the king. As for a puppet king, they were too lazy to seek the usurpation of the throne.
Although the Yuezhi Kingdom is a major country in the Western Regions, compared to the Central Plains, this country is just a small place. The carriage drove to a small town all morning and went to inquire. It was less than half a day away from the flower buds, the capital of the Yuezhi Kingdom. As for the name of "Flower Bible", it was the name Liu Yu based on the transliteration.
"Young people from Zhongyuan, be careful. They said that from their capital, a person who is very familiar with Zhongyuan came, saying that their general sent him to expose your identity. Don't reveal it, otherwise we will all die. It is a serious crime to deceive their general!" While docking the carriage, Moro hurried over and said to Liu Yu.
If you don’t have confidence in pretending to be something else, Liu Yu is still very confident about pretending to be an envoy to the Central Plains.
He was originally from the officialdom and knew all about the civil and military ministers in the court. He also had a very good understanding of the officialdom in the Central Plains. If he couldn't get through this, he really didn't have to.
But when he saw the visitor, a standard Central Plains man, he became a little cautious. The smile of the person who came made Liu Yu feel that this person had many ideas and was here to destroy him.
"You are the envoy of Shun Dynasty, Su Wu?" The visitor spoke in a standard Zhongyuan language, and it was in Guanzhong accent.
"That's right!" Liu Yu smiled, "I wonder if you are?"
"Oh, my surname is Song and Chu. My ancestors were from Guanzhong. I moved to Yuezhi and served the general for twenty years!"
Liu Yu felt a little relieved when he heard that he had been here for twenty years.
As the saying goes, ten years of personnel and affairs have changed a lot. In the past twenty years, there has been no common language. Looking at the age of this person, he is only in his early thirties. He must be in his teens when he left the Central Plains, so what can he have to know.
"Brother Song, please sit down."
"I won't sit down!" Song Chu said, "I wonder if I can take the document and the scepter to see it?"
Moro, who was worried behind Liu Yu, hurriedly took the forged document and scepter and handed it to Song Chu. After seeing it, Song Chu laughed and said, "This is the so-called document and scepter of the Shunchao Pass. Do you think I, the Yuezhi people, are so easy to fool?"
When Liu Yu forged these two things, he thought that he would go to the city quickly. Anyone who knows the envoys of the Central Plains would know the specifications of these two things and seals, which could not be forged. Even if you look up the historical records of the Yuezhi Kingdom, you can know that these two things were forged.
Liu Yu said without changing his face: "To be honest, these two things are indeed fake. Because this envoy was ambushed by the Turks on his way to the mission, my troops were seriously injured, and the scepter, documentary and identity certificates were all lost in that battle. Only then did he think of this way to enter your country!"
Song Chu had a sneer on his face, as if he had completed the task of exposing Liu Yu, the false envoy, and said: "You have no limits on your words. You should understand this truth. You are not saying that you are the envoy of the Cong Dynasty. You can't go to the Central Plains to test your exact identity!"
"Then why do you believe it?" Liu Yu asked calmly when he felt that the two sides were about to break up.
"It should be said that what do you use to make us believe! In Yuezhi Kingdom, the general is absolutely not allowed to deceive!"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Then your general who is promiscuous does not want to win over the relationship with Shun Chao and drive another general off the stage?"
After Liu Yu said this, Song Chu, who was originally sneering, also had a stalemate on his smile.
