Extra 5

The crown prince of Qi and the crown prince of the Central Plains are both concubines who were canonized at birth.

No matter how long the original King of Qi and Jinshang fought for the dragon chair, no matter the difference in the identities of Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan, or even the struggle between Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai earlier, everything ended when Zhao Gou made his eldest son Zhao Xuan the crown prince and died young, so that the young Zhao Xuan quickly ascended to the throne.

In an instant, he became politically correct in the Great Song Dynasty and its vassal states, and even the Zhao Song Dynasty used this as an excuse to meddle in Japan's internal political struggle.

After the brothers Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying got married, they all soaked in the 'harem' all day long, until the concubines were planted with seeds, and even after the melons were ripe and had official heirs, they breathed a sigh of relief.

No way. The heirs of Zhao Gou's line are too scarce.

When their brothers each had an heir, and the heirs also had multiple spare tires, they really relaxed the string in their hearts.

After Zhao Xuan landed in his sister-in-law, the baby was only a full moon, and he was canonized as the crown prince. This is not only to stabilize one's political position, but also to consolidate one's ruling foundation in terms of etiquette and law.

Zhao Ying is even more like this, on the one hand, he is learning from his eldest brother, and on the other hand, he is also offering his knees to the mother and son in the imperial city.

Look, I am also the son-in-law of Li, and I absolutely obey the "grandson".

Without further ado.

Zhao Heng came to the dock to greet him, and the people in the fleet saluted one after another. There are some red hair and yellow hair mixed in it, which is very eye-catching to Zhao Heng.

You know, China has been opening the sea route for some years, and Bai Fan is not unusual. But whether it is the white fan of Tianzhu, or the white fan of Tianfang, or a small number of Byzantines, they are all black haired. At least the white fans that Zhao Heng saw were almost all black-haired.

There are a few people with brown or other colored hair, but they are all present in small quantities, and the time of occurrence is fragmentary, and it is not a routine at all. How can it be like now, seeing so many 'colorful' at once?

Fortunately, we all have the same language.

The European envoys all knew Latin, and the latter was the 'second language' that must be taught in all levels of the Oriental Tongbun Library.

The language, which originated in the Italian region of Latim, grew stronger with the expansion of the Roman Empire, and even after the separation of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, Greek became the lingua franca of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was still the second language after Greek.

As for the Western European countries established on the corpse of the Western Roman Empire, as well as the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Latin has always stood in the position of 'second language', unshakable.

Zhao Heng is happy to have face-to-face direct communication with people from the West, because this allows him to "inadvertently" receive a lot of first-hand news.

Although he does not care about the culture and art of Western countries, nor does he care about their military, political and economic affairs, nor does he care about their beliefs, he is only interested in the history of these countries.

But in essence? He felt that he had really learned a lot through the conversations.

These Western barbarians who believe in Nestorianism are really a group of ignorant barbarians. Even if they are nobles, their lives and survival are really unimaginable to Zhao Heng.

Of course, it is very likely that he was tricked by those barbarians from the West.

You can despise a country in terms of material civilization, but you can't deny that there are intelligent people in any nation.

Just as China urgently needs to understand and recognize Western countries, why don't Western countries want to know China more deeply?

You must know that whether it is the changes in the situation in the heavens in recent years, or the pressure felt by the Nestorian world in the northeast, it makes them speculate and be uneasy.

In the city of Fuzhou, Zhao Ying warmly welcomed the returning Great Song officials and the accompanying foreign envoys.

He is very concerned about the social, military, political, economic, and other types of intelligence of Western countries. But in essence? He wasn't in a hurry at all. The reason why he was in a hurry was just to show outsiders.

From beginning to end, Zhao Jin's eyes only looked to the east.

In recent years, with the exploration and development of the waters around Australia, Zhao Ying did not pay attention to Australia, but took the opportunity to explore the South Pacific.

And with the establishment of hidden strongholds on several islands, and the discovery of the central island chain (Hawaii), the next step is to really contact the Americas.

He didn't want to go to Europe to do something.

With that fleet transportation capacity, he secretly went to the Americas to 'expand his territory', wouldn't that be more beautiful?

Who is called his eldest brother in the north, his eyes have been staring at the South Seas all these years, and he has been staring at Tianzhu, Tianfang and the West.

When the old man was there, the expedition fleet sent from the south and the north found a huge Australia in the south, and there was also a huge harvest in the north.

But the north is really too cold and too cold, whether it is facing east or west, or north, except for ice and snow, it is still ice and snow.

Zhao Ying saw that his eldest brother had not continued to explore north since he succeeded to the throne, and even after he became pro-government, he only stared at the south and west, and never looked at the east, and his heart was a hundred grateful.

This is the real big brother.

How to live daily life or how to live, Zhao Ming, who is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, is not in a hurry at all. Seeing the hands of Wu Guo, Chen Guo, and Xu Guo bouncing around in Fuzhou, I felt a sense of superiority in IQ in my heart.

The queen of Qi, Han, also did not like to meet with European envoys. Even on the sea route to the East, these envoys and their families had already received training in oriental etiquette one by one, and they bathed and changed their clothes before entering the palace, and there was no peculiar smell on their bodies. But the demeanor and movements that those people unintentionally showed were still full of vulgarity in Han's eyes.

The Han family is also a big family of generations of eunuchs, and the Han family has lived in an environment that attaches great importance to rules and etiquette since childhood, and now it is natural to look at Western envoys.

In the modern era of the original time and space, when it comes to etiquette rules, it seems that the aristocratic style of Europe is forced and superior.

But in fact, compared to the complete court etiquette of the East, they are too rough. Not to mention the current era of the Middle Ages, an era when European aristocrats ate their hands.

As for the other little princes and princesses in the palace, the only thing that interested them in the Nestorian world was a bunch of 'oddly shaped' musical instruments. As for the gifts presented by the envoys of Western countries, whether it is the prince and princess or Zhao Ying himself, they are just a few days of novelty.

Really, they have seen too many good things.

Europeans are not uncommon in the palace, but the folk are different.

Zhao Jin's purpose is to go east, but this is an absolute top secret of the kingdom, ordinary people have never heard of it, and many people still have their eyes on the west.

Qi is close to the Central Plains mainland, and is on the sea route from the Central Plains to Nanyang, the geographical location is not as good as Temasek at first glance, but it is just like what Zhao Ying said when he sent Wang Cai to the west - a piece of the pie.

During the flotilla's stay in Fuzhou Bay, the whole of Fuzhou was very lively. The businessmen seized the opportunity and made a lot of money.

Even though the European envoys and merchants who accompanied the ships knew that they would see more and better silk and porcelain when they went to the north, some of them could not help but be able to resist when the 'treasures' that were much cheaper than the price they had in their hearts appeared.
