In the morning, Yuwen Wen and Yuchi Chifan talked to Yuchi Chifan, talking about a cheap relative of Yuchi Chifan.

At the end of last year, envoys from various countries from Jixi (the title of the Western Regions in this era) came to pay tribute. One of the envoys of the country brought the king's handwritten letter, which was written in Chinese. Although the words were written in a crooked manner, Yuwen Wen could understand it clearly.

This country is called Khotan. As the king of a small foreign country, he greeted the emperor and the queen who were far away in the Central Plains in his letter.

And the identity of the later generations, I greet the queen.

It is normal for the previous identity to be the last identity?

The reason is very simple, the friendship between the same surname.

In the Kingdom of Khotan, the royal family surname is "Yuchi", and the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty also has the surname Yuchi.

According to popular opinion, since they are of the same surname, it means they were a family hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, the king of Khotan, Yuchi Beishi, gave a greeting to Empress Yuchi of the Great Zhou as a later generation.

A cheap relative suddenly appeared from afar. Yuwen Wen's first reaction was that this person wanted to commit fraud, but the royal family of the Khotan was indeed the surname "Yuchi". The King of Khotan like this actually means "hugging his thighs".

Of course, the other party did not want to hug Queen Yuchi's thighs, but Yuwen Wen or Zhou Guo's thighs, so he was shameless and pulled the "family of the same surname" and vented the whim.

Yuwen Wen and his confidants at that time thought it would be no harm to recognize such a cheap relative, so he followed the flow and asked the Queen Yuchi Chifan to write for the time being. As an elder, he greeted the younger generations of the same surname. Yuchi Beishi said to his silence.

After a while, Yuchi Beishiyi's thoughts of hugging Zhou Guo's thighs became more enthusiastic, and he kept sending envoys to pay tribute. The "Mingde Army" who were in Shazhou and constantly causing trouble in the West (Western Regions) played a great role in this.

After some operation, Queen Yuchi Chifan had a cheap distant relative.

Of course, the Kingdom of Khotan has been said to have been over a thousand years. The Yuchi clan of the Khotan royal family has basically nothing to do with the Yuchi clan to which Yuchi Chifan belongs. It is too nonsense that the other party directly "recognizes relatives" and will make knowledgeable people inside and outside the court and the country laugh at it. Therefore, the "Mingde joining the army" came up with a new trick.

These days, it is common to recognize fake sons (godsons), so Yuwen Wen and Yuchi Chifan recognized Yuchi Beishi's "god nephew".

According to generation, the Emperor and Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty became the uncle and aunt of Yuchi Beishilian, the king of Khotan. They rose to the national level. Zhou Dynasty and Khotan became nephew relationships.

As a result, the small country in Jixi of Khotan immediately became a distant relative of the Zhou Kingdom, the country above the Celestial Kingdom.

That is, the disguised relationship between the sect leader and the vassal state. The envoys of the Khotan Kingdom entered the court, and the position of the envoys of other small countries stood differently, and went further.

In this way, it would be natural if there were rogues wandering around my nephew's house and being my uncle, my aunt's "protective" to help with the housekeeping.

Of course, this is a strategic matter. Yuwen Wen does not need to explain to Yuchi Chi in detail. He is now giving the other party a 'reassurance': "Don't worry, the imperial edicts to the Kingdom of Khotan have been carefully considered, so people will not laugh at you for recognizing your wild relatives."

"Then... won't have any impact on the prince's reputation, right?" Yuchi Chifan was most concerned about this issue. For the sake of the prince, she felt that it didn't matter if she recognized a strange relative, but if this approach backfired, she would not be happy.

Yuwen Wen shook his head: "No, people with knowledge will understand that you and the prince recognize this distant relative for the sake of the court and the overall situation."

"Of course, in order to avoid misunderstandings, newspapers from all cities will also briefly introduce the origin of the Kingdom of Khotan during this period so that the people can know that you did not recognize your wild relatives, but agreed to be your aunt and nephew."

"Agreement and recognition of relatives are two different things."

Yuchi Chifan nodded after hearing this: "Oh...Where does the Yuchi surname of the royal family of the Khotan Kingdom originate?"

"There is a high probability that it is just a transliteration."

Yuwen Wen's answer surprised Yuchi Chifan: "Ah? It's just a transliteration?"

"Yes, it's very likely that it's just a transliteration." After Yuwen Wen finished speaking, he began to tell Yuchi Chifan about the origin of the Yuchi surname of the Khotan royal family (inferred).

The name of Khotan has appeared in Central Plains documents during the former Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty). Its country has been around for thousands of years and is said to have lasted for thousands of years. The royal family's surname "Yuchi" is likely to be a transliteration.

According to the research of "academic masters" such as Liu Zhuo, the transliteration at the beginning may be "Weilin" or "Yu Lin".

The royal family of Khotan, or the nationality of its main nationality, seemed to be related to the Yuezhi in the Han Dynasty. The royal family and national appearance were different from the citizens of several other small countries in the Jixi (Western Regions).

Of course, some scholars have studied the research and believed that the Yuchi family in the Kingdom of Khotan was an outsider. Like the Murong family in Tuyuhun, it was a branch of the Yuchi family that moved west from the Central Plains, destroyed the royal family of Khotan and occupied it.

Some scholars have also verified that the Kingdom of Khotan was ravaged by war a long time ago, so some royal families fled eastward and entered the Daibei region, becoming one of the origins of the Yuchi family in the Central Plains.

No matter what the truth is, the surname of the royal family of Khotan Kingdom was "Yuchi". According to his own account, during the Han Dynasty, the 14th King of Khotan Kingdom, Yuchichiye (transliteration) married the Princess of the Central Plains.

The princess brought the technology of planting mulberry and raising silkworms. A large number of Han craftsmen settled in Khotan, which made Khotan flourish and its national strength grow rapidly, becoming a famous mulberry and silkworm center in the Western Regions.

However, this statement cannot stand scrutiny, because there are historical officials in the Central Plains record history and rich historical documents, so no document records that during the Han Dynasty (that period), the princess of the Central Plains married to Yutian.

However, according to the research of Liu Zhuo and others, such legends are consistent with a period of history.

The era of the 14th King of Khotan, Yuchiye, was probably the early years of the Later Han Dynasty (Eastern Han Dynasty).

At that time, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and had no time to take care of the Western Regions, so the Xiongnu Shanyu made a comeback and cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

The Han Dynasty was located in the Western Regions Protectorate of Kucha in the Western Regions. The soldiers and the people of the station were unable to return to the east, so they came to Khotan and nearby areas that had always been loyal to the Central Plains court to take refuge. A large number of soldiers, officials, craftsmen, people of the stationed farm and their families settled here.

In this case, it is not surprising that the people of Khotan learned to grow mulberry and silkworms from the Han people, and learned various handicrafts.

According to Liu Zhuo and others' inference, the woman married by the 14th King of Khotan at that time may be the daughter of the officials of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty who lived in Khotan, so she became a princess, which was considered to be a gild on her face.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the neighboring country Shache attacked and dismissed Yuchichi and made his younger brother the King of Khotan.

The son born to Yuchichi and the Han girl fled to the Han Dynasty and settled in the Central Plains and never returned to the country. Therefore, this is located in the Prince of Tantra and his family, which may be one of the origins of the Yuchi family in the Central Plains.

Later, Khotan counterattacked and defeated Shache. Guangde (Yuchi Guangde), a royal family member from the Khotan family, rebuilds the regime with the help of Han Rong, and most of the upper-class people in Khotan are well-versed in Chinese characters and Chinese.

Yuchi Guangde defeated Shache and restored the country's power, but although he drove away the evil dogs, he attracted the eye of the tiger - the Huns.

Faced with the intimidation of the Huns, the Kingdom of Khotan surrendered and accepted the "guardianship" of the Hun envoys. At this moment, the Han Dynasty's envoys arrived and were sending their surnames to Ban Chao.

When Yuchi Chifan heard this, he asked, "Is it Ban Chao who joined the army?"

"Yes, it's Ban Chao who was in charge of military affairs. If he doesn't enter the tiger's den, how can he get Ban Chao of the tiger's son?" Yuwen Wen nodded, "Ban Chao was following the Western Regions, and Joutian once again joined the Central Plains court."

After listening to Yuwen Wen's detailed explanation, Yuchi Chifan had a deep understanding of Tian, ​​and she asked again: "Then, now we have agreed to be an aunt and nephew with Yutian to facilitate the passage of Jixi?"

"Yes, with this name, it's much easier to do things."

"But if the imperial court sent troops to station in Khotan, wouldn't the Khan of the Western Turks be on his back? Can he sit still?"

Yuwen Wen replied: "So you have to use white gloves. Hanhai Trading Company finally has an excellent semicolon station in Jixi, right?"

"So that's it. Erlang is still using the old routine." Yuchi Chifan smiled, and Yuwen Wen also smiled: "The routine is popular and easy to use, why not?"

"With this relative here, the court can use more tricks to toss the Western Turks, in the future..."

"What will happen in the future?"

"Ah, nothing."

Yuwen Wen did not say what happened after the "future" because it was unnecessary.
