The head of the Inca envoy was named Vaku, which means pottery.

Waku's father was the high priest of Koyasulong - the Inca Empire's real name was "Tawanting Sulong", and it had four administrative districts, namely Kipchak Sulong, Kutisulong, Antisulong, and Koyasulong, of which the capital was under the jurisdiction of Koyasulong.

Vaku was his father's fourth son, and he was born into the ruling caste, but he could not inherit the high priesthood, and could at best be appointed as a priest of some small and medium-sized tribes.

Waku enjoys astronomy, painting, mathematics and music, and often looks up at the stars and wonders if the sky is also inhabited by humans. When the great god Veracocca created man, why didn't he give humans wings? Then you can fly into the sky.

The Incas did worship the sun god, but above the sun god, there was also the creator Pilagochia.

Underneath the creator, Pyragocha, there is the great god Veracoca, who created the earth, the human beings, and all the gods, including the creation of the sun god. He is the source of all things on earth, so there is no need to demarcate holy places, no temples, only sincere prayers to Him.

The composition of Inca mythology is very similar to that of ancient Chinese mythology in that it has a similar construction process. The main tribe of the Inca constantly conquered other tribes and absorbed the beliefs and legends of each tribe. The gods of the conquered tribes successively joined the Inca mythology, forming a unique mythological system together with the ancestors and gods of the Incas.

Just this year, without any hint from the sun god Inti, the Incas came a horrible group of aliens.

Those aliens drove large ships and armed with strange weapons, and continued to raid the coastal tribes. Their skin is white, and their hair and eyes are discolored, like ghosts emerging from the mountains.

Thankfully, a group of aliens followed, also piloting large ships and wielding loud smoking weapons, to help the Incas drive away the ghostly whites. These aliens are all the more relatable, as they also have yellow skin and black hair. (Note: The physical characteristics of the Incas are very similar to those of the Tibetans.) The physical characteristics of the Maya are more like those of the ethnic minorities in southern China. The physical characteristics of the Zuni people are somewhat similar to those of the Han people. The Yanomima people are more like Southeast Asians. ）

Friendly interracial gifts for kings and queens.

The king received an iron knife, sharper and harder than the copper knife. The queens received two garments, which they heard were cool to the touch and smooth as grease. (Note: The title of the king is the Incas, and the title of the queen is Mama, for example, the two current queens are called: Mama Pilku Vaku and Mama Lava Ocelo.) Moreover, the two queens are both sisters of the king. ）

Although the language barrier was incomprehensible, everyone got along harmoniously.

When the aliens were leaving, the king intended to send envoys to return to the aliens' country.

Waku, who longed for the outside world, immediately took the initiative to ask for help and was appointed by the king as the head of the envoy corps. He almost died on the boat, drank unclean dirty water, pulled his stomach for days, and had to grit his teeth to continue with dirty water in order to replenish his body's water.

Eventually, Waku survived, and they came to a strange world and finally recuperated at a place called Temasek (Singapore).

In Waku's view, Temasek is very prosperous and wealthy, with all sorts of extraordinary things, and this must be the capital of the Ming Dynasty – Waku already knows that the country he is going to visit is called the Ming Dynasty.

But after resting for half a month, the leader of the army named Zhu Hai sailed with Waku on a boat.

Halfway through, they docked at a place called Hangzhou to trade spices brought in from the south. Vaku was taken to the city to drink, and before he could enter the city he was going crazy, the walls were unbelievably high, and the city was as great as Machu Picchu.

There are a lot of people in the city of Hangzhou, more than any tribe of the Incas, this must be the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

However, Vaku only had one meal in the city and was taken back to the ship to rest. They then went to Lushunkou to trade the goods they bought from Hangzhou to the merchants of Liaodong, and then turned around and landed in Tianjin.

All the way to Beijing, Waku was finally sure that he must have arrived in the realm of the gods!

After entering Beijing, without any stop, Waku was summoned to see the emperor, and also met Wang Yuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. In his understanding, Zhu Houzhao was the Inca, and Wang Yuan was the high priest.

"This is the Guild Hall, and you will live here in the future." Zhu Hai said.

Waku roughly understood, and read along: "Huitongguan." ”

In this way, Waku and his four companions lived in the guild hall, and the emperor also arranged for a eunuch to serve them.

After staying for two days, they were taken to Honglu Temple to learn the etiquette of meeting the emperor and the etiquette of communicating with the ministers—the envoys of the vassal state met the emperor directly, which was already overdue, but the emperor and Zhu Hai couldn't wait.

The director of the Honglu Temple's Guest Office (Zheng Jiupin) taught them all kinds of worship by hand. It's a pity that the etiquette is too cumbersome, and there are many types, and the teaching is directly dizzy, and Waku's whole person is in a state of confusion, and his four subordinates are even more foggy.

At the same time, Waku's living place was transferred from the Huitong Hall to the Honglu Temple Pavilion, and all food and drink were provided by the Honglu Temple.

After practicing etiquette for half a month, Waku was suddenly shouted in the middle of the night. He put on the most formal Inca priestly attire, followed the officials of the Honglu Temple to the court, entered the imperial city and waited for a long time, and saw many officials with wide robes and big sleeves.

The officials lined up to enter a large house, and Waku and four of his men had to wait outside.

"Xuanta Wanting Sulong envoy to meet you!"

"Xuanta Wanting Sulong envoy to meet you!"

One by one, Waku heard the name of his country, and immediately followed the person who led him forward.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the courtiers looked at it one after another.

I saw that Vakuri was wearing a sleeveless dress, and the skirt barely reached the calf. He wore a linen robe on the outside, which was more like a ribbon, but wider than the ribbon, and gradually became a robe until the waist. There is also a forehead wiping headband with a few colored feathers stuck in the headband. He stepped on a pair of straw sandals, a pair of straw sandals with exquisite patterns - the Incana place was hot all year round, so the clothes had no sleeves, and even the nobles did not wear leather boots (note: the Ming Dynasty only took off his shoes during important sacrifices, and did not need to take off his shoes when attending court meetings).

"These envoys are a bit like people from the South Seas."

"It's black hair, not as ugly as a red-haired ghost."

"What country is Tawanting Sulong? I didn't hear that there was such a vassal state in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"This is a small country found by the Admiral Eunuch of the Sea Exploration from the Far East, and I am going to add another one to my Ming Domain."

"Far East? Is it further east than Japan? ”

"I heard that two years ago, Your Majesty sent a fleet to the east, it seems that he wants to seek the elixir of immortality."

"Ridiculous, how can there be an elixir of immortality in this world? I'm going to give you a good deal about this! ”

“……”

The courtiers whispered, buzzing like a vegetable market, so angry that Zhu Houzhao coughed on the throne.

The master of ceremonies announced: "The envoy of the vassal kingdom has come to you! Bow! ”

Honglu Temple Sibin Cheng knelt down hard, demonstrated the etiquette of bowing on the spot, Waku and four subordinates hurriedly followed, and after Changji, he said in Chinese: "Waku, the envoy of the Sulong State of Chenta Wanting, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was very happy: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Vaku followed the Byin to his feet.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I ordered Zhu Hai, the commander of the sea to explore the sea, and sailed to find the land of the extreme east, and now I have gained something. Where is Zhu Hai? ”

"The minister is here!" Zhu Hai ran out of the last shift of the military attaché.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Where is this extreme eastern land, tell the ministers." ”

Zhu Hai said: "From Japan to the east, you can reach it by boat in April. Its land is warm in winter and cool in summer, there are sacred trees and beasts, and there is a river of flowing gold. It is called Fushan, and the indigenous people in the vicinity are all blood-drinking. To the south of Fushan, there was an Aztec kingdom, which had been destroyed by the Portuguese kingdom of Ctessi. Further to the south, there is the Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, which has a vast territory, a city, a galloping road, and knows how to farm. ”

Zhu Houzhao was very proud and said to Yang Tinghe: "What does Mr. Yang think? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Xingshi mobilizes the people, swims thousands of miles in the sea, but there is just one more vassal country, and the minister thinks that it is not necessary." Your Majesty should be diligent and simple, and live within your means, so that the treasury can be full. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Present all the treasures brought back by the Admiral of the Sea Exploration!" ”

The master of ceremonies shouted according to the gift list: "King of Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, pay a tribute of fifty catties of different crops." This crop is named as a potato by the King of Rites! ”

Two palace guards came in with a load of potatoes. As a result of months at sea, many of the potatoes have sprouted.

Wang Yuan came out of the queue with a wat board and served as a commentator: "This thing is called a potato, and it is only in Tawanting Sulong State, and it can benefit the people of the world." ”

The ministers were speechless for an instant, if the tribute from Fanbang was a rare treasure, they could still jump out against the emperor's extravagance, but this thing was a crop.

The master of ceremonies shouted again: "The king of Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, pay a tribute of thirty catties of heterogeneous crops." This crop is named chili pepper by the king of the Ministry of Rites! ”

Wang Yuan began to explain again: "This thing tastes spicy and can be seasoned. ”

These peppers are air-dried and not fresh, but they can be kept as seeds.

The master of ceremonies shouted again: "King of Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, pay a catty of heterogeneous crop seeds." This crop was named pumpkin by the king of the Ministry of Rites! ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Pumpkin can grow to the size of a head, and it can be a vegetable or a staple food. ”

The master of ceremonies shouted again: "King of Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, pay a catty of heterogeneous crop seeds." This crop is named vanilla by the king of the Ministry of Rites! ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Herbs can be used as cooking condiments, and at the same time have the effect of refreshing the mind, killing insects and repelling mosquitoes. ”

One crop after another was presented, and the ministers were speechless.

As an agricultural civilization, the most important thing is farming, and no matter how many crops there are, there are not too many crops. These novel crops alone are worth a trip to the Far East, and they are embarrassed to advise the emperor again.

The master of ceremonies continued to shout: "King of Tawanting Sulong Kingdom, pay tribute to a different breed of livestock." This livestock was named an alpaca by the king of the Ministry of Rites! ”

Wang Yuanjie said: "Originally, ten were shipped back, both male and female, and only this one was left to die of illness halfway. ”

A lovely grass and mud horse was led into the main hall and looked around at the ministers in a state of bewilderment.

The ministers were even more surprised, they used to be plants, but now they are animals, and they all stared at the alpacas.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Zhongqing can approach the onlookers, but don't make noise, so as not to scare this beast." ”

Most of the courtiers were more reserved and did not walk over to watch. But there were a few young nobles, but they couldn't bear it, and approached cautiously, for fear that the beast would suddenly go crazy and bite people.

Zhang Lun, the British duke who had only been in the title for four years, saw that the alpaca did not seem to be aggressive, so he walked to the front and stared at him with big eyes.

What do you see?

What are you doing?

Try it again!

I just looked.

Scold...... Push!

A puddle of saliva spewed out of the grass and mud horse, pouring the British public Zhang Lun's face.

"Hahaha!"

The civil and military officials laughed loudly.
