Chapter 800 The conclusion of diplomatic relations
The next day, everyone came to the green grassy square where they came yesterday. A long distance away saw a luxurious carriage standing in two rows with dozens of knife hands riding horses. A Western Region merchant wearing luxurious silk clothes was looking around. His hat was inlaid with dozens of precious gems, and the jade pendants on the clothes bag were jingling by the wind. Even the tall leather boots were made of gold-edged jade. Because of their heavy body, two beautiful beauties covered with white fine sand were supported by them. Seeing the envoys coming, they immediately walked slowly to greet them.
Everyone followed Helianba to dismount. Helianba walked over and exchanged greetings with him for a few words, then pulled him over and introduced him to Zhao Lujiao, "This is the envoy of our Ming Dynasty, General Zhao Lujiao. He is a beloved general under the emperor's father, Regent, and he has made great achievements and is arrogant. You two are close to each other, and you will be able to take care of us when you arrive in the capital in the future." He also said: "General Zhao, this is my old friend Ye Shahu. He often travels between the Western Regions and Peking, and is doing a fur business. I hope you can help you in the future, and it is him who helps us open the joints."
Zhao Shujiao hurried over and shook hands with him affectionately, thinking to himself: This guy is definitely not a fur business. It is impossible for a fur business to have such a high profit. Judging from his outfit, his style is richer than a prince.
Ye Shahu spoke good Chinese, and his expression was typical of a profit-oriented businessman. He looked stern when he saw the poor. When he saw the profitable people, he immediately smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, his arm rested on his shoulder, and bowed, and said politely: "Welcome, so welcome. The envoys of the Ming Dynasty came to us as such a remote effect. Not only me, but even the people of our country were very happy. I have reported to the king of our country. The king will summon you immediately. Just wait for a moment. I hope that after you meet the king, you can stay at my house for a day. I will definitely treat you with the highest specifications. Please give me this face. I have never invited such a noble guest!"
"Haha, is this really the case? I don't think so. Master Ye Shahu, you said just now that your people welcome us very much, but along the way, almost everyone has made us "han dogs", and we were robbed. Even if we arrived at the gate of the palace, we were almost shot to death by bows and arrows. This is your way of hospitality?!"
"There is such a thing, Humph, don't worry, this noble man. I will report all the things you said to the king in a while. Whoever offended you must deal with it seriously. This is simply a crime of death and has affected the diplomatic relations between our country and the Ming Dynasty. It is unforgivable!"
"Hey, my old friend Mr. Ye Shahu, who are you talking to? He is so intimate that I haven't even seen me coming out, haha!" While the few people were talking, a Western Region man in civil servant's clothes suddenly walked up the steps. He had deep eyes and heavy pupils, blue eyes, long hair on his arms, wide and long eyebrows, full of arrogant and rude aristocratic temperament.
"Ah, it's Prince Ganfu. I'm really a failure to welcome you. Prince Ganfu, see who I brought me. These are the envoys I mentioned to you yesterday that came from the Ming Dynasty to worship our great king. You see, they were covered in dust and sand, and they suffered a lot. I don't know when the king would meet them. They admired the prosperity and cultural traditions of our country, so they came to worship and brought a large number of gifts!" What Ye Shahu said at this time made the envoys feel a little unhappy. He actually said that they were here to worship. But forget about it, the purpose of their trip was indeed to seek peace. If the sum was successful, it would not be too late to deal with them in the future.
"Oh, it's you, ah, finally here, it's really good. Ming Dynasty people, haha, I'm so thin, I thought the Ming Dynasty people were so strong!" The prince named Ganfu still looked rebellious and walked around the envoys, looking up and down, looking left and right, just like they were aliens. Suddenly he winked at Ye Shahu and coughed, "The king has time, but you promised my reward, but you must not lose a penny, otherwise I won't inform you."
Without hesitation, Ye Shahu took out a local silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the prince. The prince looked at it, and the ice on his face suddenly melted into ripples of smiles: "Very good, very good, you are very committed to keeping your promises, and I, Prince Ganfu, are definitely a big man who keeps your promises. If you wait a little here, I will be back soon. Don't worry, it's soon."
Seeing the prince's back disappearing at the door, Wang Tianlin snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the important matter, I would have been shot to death by a thousand flying knives."
Sure enough, after a while, a commission official appeared in the palace, followed by a team of guards, and the leader was Maimati, who was yesterday. The commission official was not very enthusiastic. He came closer and said in Turpan language: "The king asked you Han people to speak in the Golden Palace."
Helianba took the lead and agreed, and Zhao Shujiao led the team and walked inside together.
Of course, this palace is much smaller than the palace of the Ming Dynasty. It is a pavilion-style building, with layers connected to each other, decorated with magnificent decorations, with gold edgings everywhere, and pearls reflected. The owner seemed to be particularly interested in the silk of the Central Plains, so silk was used everywhere as a foil. Another major feature is that women who are wearing very exposed clothes are everywhere. They are wearing gorgeous silk, like Persian cats lying on the red carpets on both sides of the road. When someone walked by, his eyes suddenly became charming. It seems that the palace and the harem are connected together. Compared with the beauties in the Chinese harem, they are really unfortunate, just like collective dormitories.
When we arrived at the third floor, we saw a relatively large golden hall. At the end of the golden hall, there was a very thin emperor sitting, with civil and military ministers wearing felt hats on both sides. The emperor was wearing a moon-white Western Regions long gown, a crown on his head, and his eyes were brightly looked at the people walking in outside the door. Judging from his age and beard, he was about fifty years old.
Zhao Rujiao took the people and walked over first, and did not kneel down. He just performed a symbolic etiquette in the Western Regions, bent his waist and said, "I conferred the order of the regent of the Ming Dynasty's emperor's father, and the envoy Zhao Rujiao and his subordinates came to pay homage to the King of Turpan, wishing the king's country prosperity and everything was well."
After a long time, the emperor who was sitting on the throne opened his eyes and looked at everyone, and said coldly: "You are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Why are you here for me? Our country has been cutting off diplomatic relations with you in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. I don't know what this trip means?"
Zhao Rujiao said directly: "We have no other intentions when we came here. It's just that the emperor's father, the regent, heard that Turpan was a first-class power in the Western Regions, and the king was a wise king. So he really wanted to establish diplomatic relations with you. In order to express our sincerity, the emperor's father, the regent, ordered us to bring us some generous gifts!"
Wang Tianlin stood out from behind, holding a gift list in his hand, written in Turpan language, Zhao Rujiao began to read: "Fifty hu of Eastern pearls, one hundred thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand pieces of silk, one hundred thousand agate... and fifty beauties. I hope His Majesty the King can live in peace with our Ming Dynasty and become a country of brothers forever."
Yi Tusheng did invest some money this time, but he didn't think it was a waste. In his opinion, these things were just temporarily stored in the king. After a short time, he would take them back intact, and there would be more when they were taken back.
"Wow!" As soon as Zhao Ruijiao's voice landed, the entire hall suddenly became boiling. What a great fortune this is. For a small country on the border of the desert, it is simply a wealth of the country. The Ming Dynasty actually took advantage of the situation to establish diplomatic relations with them?
"Where is the thing!" the king asked excitedly.
"Just outside the door, your Majesty will ask you to go and click and take a look. However, the fifty beauties did not bring them, because the wind and sand in the desert were too strong. However, as long as we establish diplomatic relations, our Regent will soon send the most beautiful Han woman to you for your appreciation." Zhao Shujiao smiled.
King Zarati couldn't help but feel excited, so he immediately sent someone to check outside. After the inspection, it was true that the number was correct, and his attitude immediately became enthusiastic.
"All the messengers come from afar. As the king, I should be warmly entertained. Come and prepare a banquet quickly to entertain these guests from afar."
Zhao Rujiao said: "Slowly, Your Majesty the King, do you agree or not to the conditions we just proposed?!" Prince Ganfu was also flattered when he saw China so rich, and quickly said: "The messenger meant to establish diplomatic relations?"
Zarati nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, the Ming Dynasty is so good to us, we will be friends in the future and we must establish diplomatic relations."
