"Leonardo, the envoy of the Roman Emperor Aurelian, to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Shapur I, King of Kings of the Persian Empire, envoy Madavecchia, to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Queen Palmyra's envoy Omar, Zanubia's envoy, meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty......"

On October 20, 270 AD, the official envoys of Rome, Persia, and Palmyra also met with Liu Chan, the current emperor of the Han Empire.

The whole world celebrates, and all nations come to court. Such a scene is something that any emperor dreams of. What's more, these are the envoys of the three great powers in the world whose national strength is not inferior to the current Han Dynasty, not the weak chickens who claimed to be a country in one city some time ago. Therefore, at this time, Liu Chan was also smiling, and his mental state was extremely excited.

"The envoys are polite, and the so-called 'friends from afar are happy'. I listened to the introduction of Honglu Temple Cheng and knew that the Three Kingdoms were far away from my Han Dynasty. But what is clearer is that the national strength of the three countries is also extremely strong, and such a country is my friend of the Han Dynasty. Of course, I feel very honored. Come, give a seat to the three messengers. ”

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, under the efforts of Xiao He and others. The minister was more dignified in front of the emperor. You can 'sit and talk.'" At this time, Ji Han still followed the tradition of the former Han Dynasty, and during the great court meeting, the high-ranking officials who were qualified to discuss matters in the main hall had their own seats. However, since the traverser took out the stool, the previous kneeling seating has been canceled, and everyone has sat on a comfortable stool. Therefore, after the envoys of the three countries took their seats at this time, there was nothing uncomfortable.

The next agenda went into streamlining operations: the envoys of the three kingdoms handed over their credentials to Liu Chan in turn and presented gifts. Liu Chan also gave a return gift very decently. The first process for both sides went smoothly.

As a country ruled by a traverser, Ji Han didn't give much in terms of returning gifts. Guan Yi doesn't have the great joy of Emperor Yang of Sui, and he doesn't want to have any problems in order to save face: the envoys of the people started from Liangzhou and traveled all the way to the hinterland of their country for thousands of miles, who doesn't know what is going on in your country? A vigorous whitewash of the peace, pretending to be generous in the return gift, in addition to being secretly treated as a stupid fork, what can you get?

After both parties return the salute. After the envoys of the three countries looked at each other, they all stood up again.

"Your Majesty......"

Three different languages rang out at the same time, making many of the ministers in the hall laugh.

Guan Yi smiled and stood up: "Three envoys, if you want to report to Your Majesty, please do it in turn." ”

After the respective translations finished paraphrasing, the Roman envoy Leonardo spoke first: "Venerable Augustus, we in Rome, are the only country in this world that can be compared with the Great Han. In accordance with the principle of the priority of the major powers, we should of course be the first to speak. ”

"Hey! Are you Rome strong? I wonder if the former emperor of your country, who is now serving as a manu in the stable of His Majesty Shazhongsha, agrees? ”

"Hmph, the two countries are at war, and the temporary victory or defeat does not explain anything. Your Majesty Shapur has not been defeated by a country like Palmyra. Then, according to the logic of your envoy, should you Persia speak after Palmyra? ”

"It was a shameless sneak attack by the Palmyras, and it can't be counted."

"Then let's still set the order according to the strength of the country, right?"

"Yes! In terms of national strength, of course, we are the strongest in Persia! So we should be the first to speak! ”

Three messengers of different colors quarreled in the main hall. And Ji Han's monarchs and ministers listened to the translator next to him keep relaying, and they only felt that their eyes were opened.

The order of diplomatic occasions involves national dignity and cannot be disputed. This point is very well understood by the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty: the diplomacy of the Han and Wu countries, there are also many temptations and battles between each other. But in any case, the diplomacy of the Chinese countries, at least on the scene, basically maintained a form of fighting but not breaking. Compared to the direct opening of the envoys of these three countries, it is simply civilized to the extreme.

"Hahahaha~~~ Envoys of the Three Kingdoms, please don't quarrel. I suggest that you might as well draw lots to decide the order of your speeches. ”

"I agree with what Augustus (Prime Minister and Regent) said."

As a result, after a round of draws, Rome ranked first.

Leonardo demonstratively smiled at the other two envoys, and then bowed to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Aurelian of our country has put down most of the rebellions in the country not long ago, and officially ascended the throne of Roman Emperor in the city of Rome. At the sincere invitation of His Majesty, the Han Dynasty once again sent a mission to Rome for an official visit. ”

Well, this is to cheer for the legitimacy of my big man's position, but this is nothing.

Liu Chan nodded steadily: "Yes." This matter is arranged by Da Sima with full responsibility. ”

"The minister's decree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor, and Augustus. Your Majesty, this envoy came to Dahan this time, in addition to signing a business agreement with Dahan and exchanging their respective specialties. To follow the orders of His Majesty Aurelian in our country, there are several things that need to be done. ”

"Please come with me."

"First, improve academic exchanges. In the Roman mission led by this envoy, there were 30 scholars and 50 noble boys. These scholars hope to stay in the Han Dynasty for three to five years to communicate with scholars in your country and corroborate each other. The young people of this country wish to be able to study in the best schools of Dahan, and if possible, His Majesty can arrange for them to go to your country. ”

"That's right. Well, Da Sima, what I mean, Mr. Huangfu and Mr. Liu are responsible for the exchange of scholars. The matter of the schooling of teenagers is in charge of Chang'an Mengxue. If there are outstanding students in the future, they can also enter Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan Colleges. How is it? ”

"Your Majesty is sage, and the minister has no objection."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Augustus, then this envoy will say the second one. Our mission has 1,000 escorts this time. What His Majesty Aurelian means is that in quelling the invasion of the Vandals at the beginning of this year, your country's dragon general performed extremely well. It can be seen from this that your country's military strategy must have its own uniqueness. Therefore, we hope to leave behind three formed hundred-man teams to train with the soldiers of your country. If necessary, you can also take part in the war against your country's rebellion. Of course, in this process, our country's military uniqueness will certainly not hide its own interests. ”

As soon as Leonardo's words came out, the monarchs and ministers of the entire Ji Han court were a little confused.

The fastest to react was Guan Yi, the traverser. After all, in modern society, military exchanges and so on are actually very common things. The benefits of this are also great - the Han and Rome are going to have a life-and-death annexation war with each other? It's going to be at least a thousand years away.

So, military exchanges, no problem at all.

After Guan Yi nodded slightly, Zhang Yi and the others reacted one after another, and they all agreed. The military bigwigs all expressed their positions unanimously, and Liu Chan naturally became good.

"Thirdly, we are in great need of your paper, soap, silk, porcelain, and other items. However, given the remoteness of the Silk Roads and the limited volume of overland transport. And the demand for such items in our country is huge. Therefore, I especially ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow the craftsmen accompanying our mission to enter the workshop for the production of the above four types of materials to learn from the teacher. We are willing to pay whatever price your country proposes! ”

Although he doesn't have real power in his hands, even Liu Chan knows very well what these things mean to Ji Han today. Although he has always had very dangerous thoughts about Guan Yi in his heart, Mr. Adou also knows very well what kind of clan he is.

Therefore, on this point, Liu Chan firmly said no: "I can't agree to your envoy's request." ”

Looking at Leonardo, who was very disappointed, and the other two messengers next to him who were also disappointed. Guan Yi smiled slightly: "So that the three envoys know that my Han has just won a good port to the sea recently." China has already begun to create a maritime Silk Road. Therefore, the problem of transportation volume can be completely solved in one year and two years in the slow. If all goes well, perhaps the envoys will not have time to return home at that time. ”

"Oh, well, I hope I will see what Augustus said soon."

Next, Persia and Palmyra also made similar demands to Rome. As a result, a total of 55 scholars from the Three Kingdoms stayed in Dahan, and a total of 115 noble teenagers studied in Dahan. The number of officers and soldiers left by the three countries for military exchanges was 600.

The intersection of civilizations of the top countries in the East and the West has finally reached an extremely high level thousands of years ahead of schedule because of the traversers.
