"Naturally, they won't just wait stupidly for the emperor to be elected. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Song waved his hand and said: "Besides, those electors are also the kings of the kingdoms of the Western Regions, and they also have the right to be elected. ”

"That's it!" Zhu Hu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "No, how do you know this?" ”

"Uh......" Zhu Song was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Little, little brother, this is also hearsay, hearsay." ”

"Hearsay still remembers so clearly, your memory is really good." Zhu Hu may believe Zhu Song's words, but Zhu Di doesn't believe Zhu Song's nonsense, "Okay, let's talk about your opinions." ”

"What do you think, since they are willing to come, then come." Zhu Song said indifferently: "Besides, Brother Four Emperors, since the Holy Roman Empire is here to establish diplomatic relations, it can't come empty-handed, right?" ”

"You kid, you can link anything to interests." Zhu Di glared at Zhu Song angrily and said.

"That's it!" Zhu Song said slowly: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Judging from the temperament of these people from the Western Regions in our Nanjing City, they will definitely bring a large number of rare treasures to our Ming Dynasty to show the wealth and strength of their country, lest our Ming Dynasty look down on them! ”

"Hearing you say that, it's really possible for them to do that." Zhu Di touched his chin and said, "That's it, the messenger of the Holy Roman Empire is still in our city of Nanjing, you go and get in touch with them, find out what they mean first, and when the Holy Roman Empire sends another envoy to Ming, let's make plans." ”

"Fourth Emperor Brother, Brother Chen has just come back to rest for half a month, can't you let me rest for two more days?" Hearing Zhu Di's command, Zhu Song immediately began to call Tianqu, "Besides, the newlywed Yan'er's ...... Right? ”

Seeing Zhu Song's aggrieved expression, Zhu Di laughed: "You kid, if you want to rest for two more days, just say it, why bother to use the newlywed as a reason." Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, by the way, take the prince with you! Discuss what's going on, don't bother me. ”

Zhu Song pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "Brother obey the order!" ”

……

In the western part of Nanjing, those envoys from the Western Regions and merchants from the Western Regions live here.

"Uncle Songhuang, I heard that some people in the Western Regions were born with blonde hair and blue eyes, looking like evil ghosts, should we really go to see these ghosts?" The crown prince Zhu Gaochi touched his round belly and seemed to complain.

"What's the devil?" On the carriage, Zhu Song was wearing a cool shirt and said, "It's all one nose and two eyes, two arms and two legs, can they still grow wings?" ”

"Alas, I don't know what my father thought when he was the emperor, what did he ask his nephew to do?" Zhu Gaochi was a little reluctant.

"You think I want to go?" Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said, "However, don't look at this Holy Roman Empire, which is 108,000 miles away from our Ming Dynasty, but they have their culture." As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, what if this Holy Roman Empire becomes an enemy of our Ming Dynasty in the future? ”

"How dare they?" Don't look at Zhu Gaochi who is chubby, but in fact, this guy is also very bloody, but on the one hand, he is the crown prince, and Zhu Di is unwilling to let him go out to fight and easily get into danger; These two, even in terms of force and troop arrangement, he really can't be compared with Zhu Gaosui.

"What dare you dare?" Zhu Song grinned and said: "Back then, Kublai Khan drove all the iron cavalry into Eastern Europe, why couldn't these people from the Holy Roman Empire come to invade our Ming Dynasty?" ”

"I'm afraid that they won't succeed, and if they come, let them all stay in our Daming!" Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't believe that these foreign devils dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Wang, it's here." Just when Zhu Song wanted to say a few more words, Huang San's voice came in from outside.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter later, let's go and meet this envoy of the Holy Roman Empire first." Zhu Song said as he lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

Horse-drawn carriage, parked outside a building with a distinctly Eastern European style.

The building resembles a small castle in Eastern Europe, with a square dome and three floors, and a plaque hanging above the main entrance, which reads 'Bohemian City', with Chinese characters on the top and strange foreign characters on the bottom.

Several tall horses, blonde hair and blue eyes, deep-set eye sockets, Hu people wearing Hu clothes had already waited in front of this building, seeing Zhu Song and Zhu Gaosui getting off the carriage one after another, they hurriedly stepped forward, spoke stiff Chinese, and saluted: "Foreign Envoy Jones has seen His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the two Highnesses bow down!" ”

"Foreign envoys are exempt." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "The foreign envoy is polite, and he even went out to greet him." ”

Jones still looked respectful, but when he said this, it sounded awkward: "Lord Wang, you are the envoy of the Celestial Empire, and you are the prince of the Celestial Empire. ”

There were obviously two people before the carriage, a prince and a prince, Jones only cared about Zhu Song's status when he said this, but he didn't mention the prince at all, isn't this provoking the relationship between Zhu Song and Zhu Gaochi?

Zhu Gaochi is not a stupid person, he can naturally figure out that Jones's words have the meaning of sowing discord.

"Humph!" Zhu Gao snorted coldly and said, "The foreign envoy is really polite!" However, it's not too early now, since you've waited outside enough, why don't you go in and talk? ”

"Let's go inside." Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Gaochi, didn't say anything else, turned around and entered the 'Bohemian City'.

In the lobby on the second floor, everyone sat down separately, and their own subordinates sent melon and fruit snacks and refreshments.

"Jones, this king has heard that the Holy Roman Empire is divided into many small kingdoms, and the king of each small kingdom has the hope of being elected emperor of your empire, I don't know who the current emperor is?" Zhu Song took a sip of tea and asked.

Jones said, "so that His Highness the King of Han may know that my Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is the King of our Kingdom of Bohemia, Wenceslas IV, also known as Wentzel I." ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhu Song sneered and said, "According to the information obtained by this king, although Wenceslas IV has been elected monarch of the Holy Roman Empire, he has not been crowned emperor, right?" ”

Jones's face changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know where the prince got this news?" Our Holy Roman Emperor, His Majesty, is none other than His Majesty Wenceslas IV, our 'King of the Roman people'! ”

"It's just self-deception." Zhu Gaochi sneered and said, "Since it is what this prince Songhuang Uncle said, it must be the truth, how can it be wrong?" You, the foreign envoy, are so dishonest, in front of this prince and Uncle Songhuang, you dare to lie and deceive each other, do you really think that we are easy to deceive? ”

When Jones heard this, he fell silent, and his face changed continuously, from white to blue, from blue to black, and from black to purple.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Han is right, but the foreign envoy is wrong." Jones gritted his teeth and almost squeezed this sentence out between his teeth, "However, the internal affairs of our Holy Roman Empire are indeed in the hands of His Majesty now. ”

"Hmph, I would have said that earlier." Zhu Gaochi said disdainfully: "After doing it for a long time, your so-called empire has never had an emperor, and you are brazen to ...... Whatever you say, it's what you say. ”

Jones did not respond to Zhu Gaochi's words, but said to Zhu Song: "The foreign envoy is very curious, how can His Royal Highness King Han know about our Holy Roman Empire, and he knows it in such detail?" ”

Zhu Song shook his head and said, "This king just got these by accident. In that year, Julius Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire founded the Roman Empire. After that, the Roman Empire was divided into Eastern Rome and Xi Luo, but now Western Rome must have perished, right? In this way, you are considered Eastern Rome! ”

This time Jones was even more shocked, obviously, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Han actually knew so much about the history of the Roman Empire, and it could even be said that he knew a lot about it, which was simply incredible.

As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, although there are still quite a lot of exchanges between the East and the West, they are all merchants from the East and the West, that is, economic exchanges, and as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, it seems that they have never sent missions in the name of the imperial court to visit their western countries, and only occasionally official people visit in their private names.

But they were different from the Holy Roman Empire, which was formed by a coalition of many small states, many of which had sent missions to the Ming Dynasty in the name of their respective kingdoms.

So compared to the Ming Dynasty, Jones thought that their understanding of the Ming Dynasty or Huaxia should be far greater than Huaxia's understanding of the Holy Roman Empire, but the current situation is really strange!

"His Royal Highness King Han is really a strange person, he knows so much about our Holy Roman Empire, and the foreign envoy admires it!"

Jones showed an expression of admiration on his face this time, and said: "But there is one thing that His Royal Highness King Han seems to be wrong, that is, our Holy Roman Empire, although it is still this name, but the emperor has changed the kings of many kingdoms, that is to say, our Holy Roman Empire has also changed dynasties many times!" ”

Zhu Song is not a fool, of course he knows this, but this does not mean anything, although it is said that 'knowing oneself and knowing the other, a hundred battles will not be defeated', but for this era, no matter how the West is, it cannot be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, that's it!" Zhu Song nodded and said, "This king is very curious, will your so-called seven electors always be those seven?" Just because of the so-called 'Golden Seal Edict', seven people will be fixed forever? ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Jones's face, and he said: "This, this is not something that the foreign envoy can think, if His Royal Highness King Han wants to ask me about the Holy Roman Empire, it is better to wait for the monarch of my empire to send an envoy to come and negotiate." ”

"You're really just a little character!" Zhu Gaochi didn't care about you, "Uncle Songhuang, let's go, he is a small character, he can't call the shots about anything, what do we have to talk about with him." ”

"You kid go." Zhu Song glared at Zhu Gaochi and said, "This king and this Qiong again...... Oh, let's talk to this envoy again, there are still some things that the king needs to know from the foreign envoy. ”

Jones was now eager to take out something from Zhu Song's mouth, and hurriedly replied: "If His Royal Highness King Han wants to know anything, just mention it, the foreign envoy will definitely know everything, and he will say everything!" ”

Just then, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man dressed as a domestic servant walked in from outside the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the man saluted Jones directly and said, "Sir, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has sent a batch of mustangs that have just been bred, saying that you have already decided before, do you want to go and see." ”

"Sent?" Jones was slightly stunned, and his face showed joy: "I've been waiting for this batch of horses for a long time, and today it's finally delivered." ”

"Western European Mustang!" Zhu Gaochi, who had been watching coldly from the side, flashed a trace of essence in his eyes, and said, "Foreign Envoy Jones, I don't know how many wild horses there are in this batch?" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi's words attracted Jones, Jones said: "More than a month ago, the foreign envoy promised the king of Annan that he would send 1,000 wild horses over, and in return, he would pay us some gold, silver and grain......"

"Smack!"

Zhu Gao slapped the table violently and said, "Okay, with your words, it's done!" Jones, are you guilty? ”

Jones's face changed slightly, and he said a little inexplicably: "The foreign envoy doesn't know!" ”

yes, it's just a thousand wild horses sold, what's there? How did you sin?

"Not to mention the wild horses you sold, even if the grain you receive, if it is in wartime, it is also strategic materials, do you still say that you are not guilty?" Zhu Gaochi was not polite at all.

"You can't blame us for that, can we? We are not your Ming people, and the wild horses we sold were not sold to your Ming Dynasty, even if the king of Annam regarded these wild horses as war horses, it seems that they have nothing to do with your country, right? ”

Compared with Zhu Gaochi's questioning, Jones also said eloquently, "Besides, people can't do without this food, which country doesn't eat food?" The foreign envoy was just exchanging wild horses for the necessities of life. ”

"You're saying it simply." Zhu Gaochi said: "Annan is adjacent to my Daming Jiaozhi County, and the edge of Annan is already a lot of powerful and evil bandits, and you sent a thousand war horses over, I am afraid that in our Daming Jiaozhi County, it will be robbed by those powerful and evil bandits." When the time comes, will not the people of my Cochin County be afflicted? ”

"This ......"

Jones obviously didn't expect this, and besides, he had to be responsible for escorting the thousand wild horses, and if he really let the bandits rob them, then he would not be able to account for the king of Annam, and Wenceslas IV, the monarch of their Holy Roman Empire, would not have to skin him.

"Why, haven't you thought about it before?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

"The foreign envoy really didn't think about that." Jones honestly nodded in acknowledgement.

"Alright, alright."

From the moment the two of them began to talk about the 'guilt' to this moment, Zhu Song, who had never spoken, finally spoke, and said:

"Let's not talk about the guilt or not, this matter will be discussed later, this play has never seen this Dutch mustang, I don't know if this king can see this horse?"

"Huh? Of course! Jones bowed and said, "The foreign envoy will arrange this!" ”
