"But here, there is one more thing I want to ask your envoy." Zhuge Jin said.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"In recent days, a group of envoys claimed to have come from Rome, that is, Daqin. However, the number of people was small, and the tribute was a little thin, not like that of a large country such as Rome. Therefore, I would like to have some doubts about this matter, after all, the ceremony is imminent, the matter is serious, and there is no room for mistakes, and I would like to ask your envoy for advice to avoid misunderstanding. Zhuge Jin picked up the teapot, gently poured a cup of tea for the rest messenger and himself, and said casually.

"This ......," the messenger of rest was shocked when he heard this.

The former Han Dynasty had little contact with Rome, and basically relied on imagination with each other. Perhaps because distance produces beauty, both sides praise and praise each other extremely.

The Han Dynasty was regarded by Rome as a fairyland on earth where everyone wore silk and was full of gold, and Rome was also called the Great Qin by the Han Dynasty, who had always despised the world and even disdained the rest of Guishan as a weak country. The two countries are like falling in love with each other, and they cherish each other.

In fact, since Gan Ying, who opened up the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, had already reached rest, he only stopped there and did not come into contact with Rome, so that there was little actual contact between Rome and the Han Dynasty, and the occasional envoy exchanges were only superficial. And in this there is a small movement of rest.

The silk and tea of the Han people are profitable, and as one of the important transit points of the Silk Road, Anxi naturally wants to make more money. How can middlemen make huge profits from monopolies?

So the Rest merchant deceived Gan Ying that he needed to cross the vast sea to reach Daqin, and it was extremely risky. If you are lucky, you can arrive in more than three months, and if you are unlucky, you may not be able to reach it in two years, and there are countless people who have died in the belly of the fish.

The details of this, the previous Han did not care much and were busy internally, so they were fooled without careful investigation, and finally the Han Dynasty was unable to really connect with Rome from beginning to end.

And now, Da Chu Ming still doesn't have much contact with Rome.

The resting messenger who didn't know the twists and turns in this naturally thought that Da Chu was also kept in the dark, and Anxi, who was an enemy of Rome, naturally did not want Da Chu to establish diplomatic relations with Rome.

"Your Excellency, I don't dare to speak falsely. However, Rome is far away from Dachu, and the border is chaotic and internal wars are frequent, so it is difficult to know about the ceremony, let alone come to watch the ceremony. I'm afraid the messengers are ......," said the messenger of peace half-truthfully.

What he said was not false, but it was also concealed and deliberately guided.

"What the messenger said is very true, and I think so is true." Zhuge Jin nodded.

He actually knew about the group. Da Chu's intelligence focus is now abroad, and the day after the arrival of this group, Jia Xu has already figured out the details of this group, a group of bold businessmen from South Asia.

"However......" Zhuge Jin hesitated slightly: "My Great Chu Emperor attaches great importance to this ceremony, and hopes to reproduce the grand occasion of the coming of all nations, so he attaches great importance to the envoys of Rome." If it is really empty joy, the Son of Heaven is afraid that he will not be very happy. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhuge Jin's extra-string sound, the rest messenger is naturally clear.

"When it's true or false, it's true, the true identity of this group of people doesn't matter, the happiness of the Son of Heaven is the most important thing. If the envoys could help, the Roman envoys would be genuine. Then we'll wipe out some of the troubles, and we'll all be happy, won't we? Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

"Your lord's words are good, but if this matter is exposed afterwards, I'm afraid I can't afford it!" The Sabbath Messenger smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the envoy doesn't say it, this matter will be foolproof. And my Da Chu is not interested in intersecting with Rome, even if he is exposed, my Da Chu will naturally have a solution, and it has nothing to do with your envoy. ”

There was a faint murderous aura in Zhuge Jin's words.

The messenger of rest was cold, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Han people are really Han people, and they can do anything for the sake of face.

But he thought about it again, and it seemed to be good for rest. If this matter is stabbed out quietly, Da Chu is afraid that he will have a meeting with Rome for the sake of face......

This matter is too risky, and once the operation is not good, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating, and it is better to go back to His Majesty.

"Since the lord has spoken, then so-and-so has done as he is told. I also hope that your Excellency will have a few more kind words with Your Majesty, and I am willing to make friends with Dachu for generations and marry forever. The messenger of rest stood up and bowed his hand.

"It's nature." Zhuge Jin smiled and helped the envoy of peace up: "I am a great Chu Xinli, and I need the help of friends such as your country, and then the two countries will trade and benefit each other, and I hope that the envoy will explain the benefits and disadvantages in front of the king of your country." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries again for a while, and after discussing the details, Zhuge Jin left satisfied.

"Greetings, sir!" In front of the State Guesthouse, under the congratulations of many envoys, Zhuge Jin boarded the carriage.

"My lord, where are you going next?" The coachman asked.

"Taiwei's Mansion."

……

"How?" Jia Xu sat in the tea room, had been waiting for a long time, and said while checking the information.

"It's done, and the reaction of rest is not as Mr. Wenhe expected." Zhuge Jin bowed deeply.

He has no doubts about the person in front of him, and when it comes to calculating people's hearts, there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed.

"It's just an idle move, and it doesn't hurt to succeed or not. But he may also be able to use it as an introduction to stir things up. Jia Xu didn't have any waves in his heart, and said lightly.

To be honest, he really felt no sense of accomplishment for an opponent of the level of Calculating Anxi Guishuang. Especially when there is still a huge advantage in information, it is completely like fooling a fool, and there is no difficulty at all.

"Mr. Wenhe, rest is different from Guishuang, obviously he has other thoughts, I'm afraid he will have something wrong in the future, and he has to guard against it."

"Don't worry, rest in peace is not our opponent, these things are up to the family to have a headache." Jia Xu didn't care.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's request, with his lazy and self-protective character, he wouldn't have bothered to cloth these secrets. Calculating and resting in peace is actually equivalent to helping Yuan Shao and many other families, and in Jia Xu's view, it is also a kind of capital enemy. However, from the perspective of national righteousness, in a situation that has nothing to do with the overall situation, he can barely accept helping one or two in his spare time.

Zhuge Jin was noncommittal about this, although he was also a member of the family, but the Zhuge family had a small business, and it was all supported by the three brothers, and the foundation was all within Dachu, and it was not counted in the current family group.

Jia Xu, who has always been cautious, does not have much to hide in front of Zhuge Jin. On the one hand, with his current situation, he is no longer in danger of self-preservation, and there is no conflict of interest with the family, but the family has something to ask for. On the other hand, Zhuge Jin is completely reliable, and relying on Zhuge Liang's relationship, the two sides can be regarded as natural allies.

Great Chu has three dukes to refer to the Qin system, namely the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the imperial historian. Although it is called the Three Princes, the Prime Minister is the first of the Three Princes, and his status is slightly higher.

And now Da Chu has Jia Xu as the lieutenant and Tian Feng as the imperial doctor, but the post of prime minister is temporarily vacant, and Zhang Zhao, who is the secretary of the household department, is temporarily replaced. The vacant position of prime minister, Yuan Shu's thoughts are clearly revealed, and it is obviously reserved for Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, although the Zhuge family is not even a second-rate family on the surface, no one dares to underestimate it. Just one Zhuge Liang is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Zhuge family for a hundred years.

As Zhuge Liang's elder brother and the contemporary head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jin's position is very correct, and his relationship with Jia Xu Tianfeng and other elders is very good.

Jia Xu and others are also happy to see it. After all, when Zhuge Liang provoked the beam, they old men would basically have to give way. There are talents in the country, and at that time, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Lu Xun, Fa Zheng and others should also take the throne, and the next few decades will be their era.
