Isfahan City.

After a long journey, Liu Xingming finally led his troops to the capital of the Safi Empire.

As the Third Persian Empire, the rise of the Safi Empire brought the Persians back together and ignited the pride of the ancient Persian country.

This Isfahan City is such a magnificent city integrating art, politics, economy and culture. It is known as Florence, the Middle East.

Of course, Liu Xingming learned all of these from the book of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

After really arriving in Isfahan City, he felt that this city was really well-known.

Under the leadership of Persian eunuchs, he first came to Wanghou Square.

This square is synonymous with gorgeousness. It is surrounded by two-story arcades. If no one leads the way, it is possible that it will make a profit and still be in the same place, and fall into an embarrassing situation of getting lost.

Liu Xingming knew that the significance of this mission was very important, so he was naturally not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he suggested meeting the Persian emperor quickly.

The Persian eunuch led him all the way to the Forty-Pillar Palace.

The Forty-Pillar Palace is a garden-style palace. Once you enter the courtyard, you will find a rectangular pool. When you walk to the end, you will find a very grand palace. When you walk through the colonnade and enter the inner hall, you can see many lifelike murals, recording the glory of the Persian Empire.

Under the introduction of Persian eunuchs, Liu Xingming learned that the palace was built by Abbas II, the emperor of the current Safi Empire.

The style of this palace has changed the simple style of the Safi Empire at the beginning of its founding and has become very gorgeous.

While Liu Xingming was moved, he was also asking when he could meet the Persian emperor.

Unexpectedly, the Persian eunuch said to Liu Xingming at this time that His Majesty Abbas II did not live in this forty-pillar palace, but in another palace called Arikapu Palace.

Liu Xingming was stunned for a moment. After asking carefully, he learned that the Forty Pillar Palace was just a place used by the Persian emperor to entertain distinguished guests and envoys. The emperor himself lived in the Arikapu Palace.

Liu Xingming was very helpless.

It turns out that this Forty-Pillar Palace is just equivalent to the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.

It made him happy for so long.

Liu Xingming had to ask the Persian eunuch when he would see Abbas II. However, the eunuch shook his head repeatedly and told Liu Xingming to wait. As long as His Majesty Abbas II felt the time was right, he would definitely summon him.

Liu Xingming had nothing to say.

After all, he was a guest here, and no matter what, Abbas II was also a dignified Persian emperor.

No messenger forced the emperor to decide the principle of meeting time?

All he can do is wait.

Of course, one thing is certain. This Abbas II must be interested in cooperating with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have given Liu Xingming such a high courtesy.

Since that’s the case, there is nothing to be afraid of, just wait for something delicious and delicious.

...

...

At the same time, in the Arikapu Palace, the Emperor Abbas II of the Safi Empire was playing with a sky-blue porcelain cup very seriously.

This cup is said to have been transported from the distant Ming Dynasty to travel thousands of miles through the Silk Road.

Therefore, the price is quite expensive, even Abbas II only collected one set.

But just like his interest in porcelain, Abbas II had always been very interested in the Ming Dynasty.

So after learning that Emperor Ming sent an envoy to the Safi Empire, he immediately ordered people to take the envoy to Isfahan, the capital of the Safi Empire.

He wanted to ask himself what the messenger's purpose was.

But he couldn't show that he was too interested and too eager.

As an emperor, it would be too shameless.

So Abbas II ordered the envoy named Liu Xingming to be placed in the Forty-Pillar Palace for a period of time to grind his character.

But Abbas II didn't want to mess with him for too long. After all, he couldn't wait to see Liu Xingming, so after Liu Xingming was bored for about three days in the Forty Pillar Palace, Abbas II issued an order to order Liu Xingming to meet him.

As soon as the news came out, the eunuchs immediately went to the Forty-Pillar Palace.

Liu Xingming was already impatient to wait, and after receiving the news, hope ignited again.

He couldn't wait to enter the palace to meet him.

But the eunuch told him that it was not possible and there was still a whole process to go.

First, Liu Xingming had to take a shower and change his clothes, and then sprinkle a unique spice to show respect for the Persian emperor.

Liu Xingming had no choice but to follow the order.

It is understandable that guests follow the host's will and follow the local customs.

I have been waiting for so long, and I don’t care about this time anymore.

The eunuch was waiting outside. When Liu Xingming got rid of all the matters, he quickly followed.

"Please follow me. Don't look at what you shouldn't be seen when you enter the palace later, and don't ask what you shouldn't be asked."

Liu Xingming still understood these procedures. After all, he had seen them more than once with His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. In terms of these red tape, the Ming Dynasty was even more than Persia.

He responded one by one, followed the eunuchs out of the Forty-Pillar Palace, walked through the Royal Square, and headed straight to the Alikapu Palace.

Compared with the Forty-Pillar Palace, the Arikapu Palace is very different.

The biggest difference is the height. This palace is the tallest building in Isfahan City, and it looks very conspicuous from a distance.

Since the current emperor Abbas II and his family live in this palace, the palace is full of patrolling and guarding imperial guards inside and outside.

Liu Xingming glanced briefly and estimated that the number of people was about 5,000.

This number is quite small.

You should know that the number of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty in the capital was about the same level.

Liu Xingming knew that he could not ask more questions and read more at this time, so he kept lowering his head and walking quickly, not wanting to cause any trouble.

This time, the task on his shoulders was particularly heavy and he could not be defeated.

Fortunately, this palace is not as big as Liu Xingming imagined, and he even feels it is a little smaller than the Forty-Pillar Palace, let alone the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

After walking around a fountain and entering the main hall, he could feel a powerful force of oppression.

The palace was covered with armored guards. Although they were wearing helmets on their heads, Liu Xingming could still feel their eyes staring at him.

It seemed that as long as Liu Xingming had an inappropriate move, they would step forward and press Liu Xingming to the ground or even kill him.

This feeling was something that Liu Xingming had never felt before in the Bukhara Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate.

The Persian Empire was indeed an ancient country as old as the Central Plains dynasty.

Liu Xingming continued to walk forward. After passing through an arched dome and came out a mirror door, the Persian eunuch who led the way whispered that there was a small garden in the palace in front of him, which was where the king was resting at the moment, so he asked Liu Xingming to pay attention.
