Chapter 275
After entering the house, Fusu invited Sura to sit down, and the soldiers who were serving him brought hot tea and retreated.
In the impression of the Huns, there were several things they wanted very much to get in the Central Plains, one was beautiful silk and satin, two was food and wine, three was beauty in the Central Plains, and four was tea.
The first three items are not to be explained, friends know the reason. Tea is very popular in the Huns, so it is necessary to explain it. The daily food of the Huns is beef and mutton. I eat this thing all my life. The oil has been deposited a lot, so I have to use tea to remove oil.
The main ingredient of tea is tannin, while the oils with hydroxide ions can be regarded as alkalis and acid-base neutralization reactions. Therefore, tea is a must-have for nomadic peoples and a treasure.
By the way, I will tell my friends a little secret that most of the teas that nomadic people drink is strong tea. The reason is that there are too many oils in the body, and it is not strong tea that has no effect.
Sura, a very well-educated person, looked at the teacup, as if the oil in his body was causing trouble again. A very uncomfortable greasy smell surged in his heart. He really wanted to pick up the teacup and drink it dry, but the owner didn't speak, so he was embarrassed, so he had to endure it.
Fusu had no modern chemistry knowledge, and although he could not fundamentally understand Sulu's reaction, he knew that the Huns had a slight preference for tea. He smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and said, "Please, please."
Sulu was waiting for this sentence, saying, "Please, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!" He picked up the teacup and started drinking it with his mouth.
The tea was freshly brewed and very hot. He was eager to drink it, but he didn't feel it was too hot. When the cow drank it, he drank a cup of tea in just a few sips.
According to the habits of the people of the Central Plains, tea is used for tasting, and it should be drunk slowly, not cattle. Fusu, who was not sure about it, shook his head with regret. He thought to himself that the barbarian was a barbarian and could not even taste tea.
Fusu's thoughts were not over, and Sura's next actions surprised him even more. Sura grabbed the tea with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it like a cow eating grass. After chewing it, she swallowed it.
People in the Central Plains also had tea, but not many. For the Huns, tea is a treasure. It is rare. It is a pity to pour out tea like people in the Central Plains. It is reasonable to use the waste and eat it.
Sura put down the teacup, breathed comfortably, and praised: "Good tea, good tea!" Nonsense, this is the tea in the palace. After careful selection, where can the coarse tea sold to the desert be compared? Can it be a good tea?
"If you like to drink, just serve it again." Fusu ordered, and the soldier brought the tea and put it in front of Suro and retreated.
This time, Sura did not drink oxen, but savored it slowly. It also had the style of a good tea from the Central Plains people.
Fusu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and asked, "I have been in Xianyang for many days. But my father was busy with government affairs and could not get rid of it. I have been negligent about it. Please forgive me."
Although the Huns were not as strong as the Qin Dynasty, they were still a big country. According to diplomatic practice, Sulu should have met Qin Shihuang soon, but he did not expect that he would delay it again and again, and he delayed it for almost two months without seeing Qin Shihuang.
If Maodun hadn't asked him to win the support of the Qin Dynasty at all costs, he would have been back to the prairie long ago.
Sulu felt very aggrieved, but he couldn't speak directly, so he could only say, "The Emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to withdraw. Sulu can understand. May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince. Is the Emperor going to summon me?"
Fusu smiled and said, "Reasonable. The father should summon you, but the father is too busy. He can't get out of here. If you have anything, you can tell me."
Sura, full of hope, could not even see the emperor. She was very dissatisfied and forced herself to say, "Your Highness the Crown Prince asked, Sura should have told me, but this matter is of great importance. The Grand Chanyu repeatedly instructed that he would only say that he would meet the Emperor, please forgive me.
”
He thought Fusu was not qualified, so Fusu should be angry. However, Fusu's performance surprised him. Fusu smiled and said, "Since you are responsible for your resoluteness, you should see your father. I will definitely tell you what you mean."
This is what you want. Sura was very happy and said, "Thank you the Prince's help. Sura dared to ask, Your Highness, when will the Emperor summon me?"
Fusu said in embarrassment: "This matter is not easy to talk about. First, my father is too busy, so it is not easy to find time. Second, we don't know what your matter is, so it is difficult to arrange this time.
Think about it, if you just come to greet and greet according to the etiquette of the two countries, and give some gifts, these are all conventions, the father will naturally see you, but you have to wait until the envoys from other countries come and meet you too many people.
"And the envoys from other countries may not be able to arrive for ten days and half a month. Let's wait first and wait until the envoys from other countries arrive. The time may not be too long, at least ten days and half a month, but if it is more than three or five months, it will be only three or five months.
”
Maodun is ready to destroy Donghu, and he is only waiting for the Qin Dynasty to support him. If it delays for another three to five months, it will be a big problem. Maybe once the matter is leaked, Donghu will be able to call him first.
Fusu's words were reasonable, but the needle was hidden in the cotton, soft and hard, and it froze Sulu. Chen Ping held back the funny look at Zhou Chong, thinking that there must be a disciple. Zhou Chong is a man who takes advantage of everything. Unexpectedly, Fusu really got his true teachings and his style.
Xulu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I can only say that this matter is very important, and it is related to the brotherhood of the Great Huns and the Qin Dynasty. It is better to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to report to His Majesty the Great Emperor and summon me as soon as possible."
Fusu pretended to be very moved and said, "I am so grateful to you for the friendship between the two countries. I can tell you clearly that if you say that, your father will not see you."
Sulu hurriedly asked, "Why is this? Please let the Crown Prince say it clearly."
Fusu made up a lie and said, "The Donghu sent an envoy to Xianyang, and was discussing with his father about the Donghu King coming to Xianyang.
The king of Donghu and the Qin brothers came to Xianyang to meet his father. It was like meeting brothers. Can the father not ask in person? So, I think you should wait a little longer, wait a little longer.”
If the Qin Dynasty supported Donghu, it would be impossible for Maodun to destroy Donghu. This was just a hit to the pain of the Huns. Xuluo suddenly stood up and shouted: "Crown Prince, no."
"I stood up so hard that I overturned the teacup, and the tea was everywhere.
Fusu said leisurely: "Why do you say this? What's wrong with this? Donghu is the brother of the Qin Dynasty. The King of Donghu came to Xianyang to meet with brothers. This is normal.
If Maodun Da Shanyu came to Xianyang, his father would treat him as a brother as a guest of honor as he did to King Donghu.”
