In the mansion, Qing Dai and Xu Xinyi were still waiting for Qin Lin, and Zhu Yaoyi had already been sent back to the palace.

Qin Lin said this with a smile, and Qing Dai stuck out her little tongue, "Shame, shame, that stuff is really not ashamed, a good tribute envoy is our guest, and he wants to steal." ”

Xu Xinyi was not too strange, and nodded: "In the article left by my ancestor King Zhongshan, it is said that there is a clear stealing and robbery on the grassland outside the Saiwai, and the customs are very different from those of the Central Plains. ”

After that, Xu Xinyi tilted his head and thought about it again, "By the way, since the Mongols are here, and Huang Taiji is still a descendant of the Golden Family, Qin Lin, can you take 'Urwen Yeli' to ask him to see if he knows what kind of treasure this is." ”

Qingdai was an honest girl, pouting and shaking her head: "Sister Xu, it's impossible, Huang Taiji is against Brother Qin, even if he knows the origin of the baby, he will definitely refuse to tell Brother Qin." ”

"This honest pimple, won't your brother Qin cheat him?" Xu Xinyi hated the iron and poked Qingdai's waist and eyes, causing the little girl to giggle.

The corners of Qin Lin's mouth twitched, and his smile was extraordinarily deceitful, saying that there may be others that I am not good at, this bluff, hehehehe.

Xu Xinyi said and entered the inner room, took out the gold box containing Urwen Yeli and handed it to Qin Lin.

The three of them didn't notice it from beginning to end, Asha, who was playing outside with the big yellow dog, pricked up his ears when he heard the name Urwen Yeli, and listened attentively to the movement inside...... The next day, Qin Lin put on the gold box and went to the Huitong Pavilion.

Last time, I went straight to the Mongol house to search, and after the search, I left, less than a quarter of an hour before and after; This time, Qin Lin went to meet the two masters in charge of the Guild Hall.

Chen Kezhi, the assistant director of the Department of Vehicles and Drivers of the Ministry of War, is an old acquaintance, and he is very respectful when he sees Qin Lin, because he knows how to be a man and leave a line, so he did not lose his black yarn hat.

The position of the main and guest director of the Ministry of Rites and the Governor of the Huitong Pavilion was changed from Han Recommendation to another surnamed Zhou, last time Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi made a big fuss in the Huitong Hall, beating the eldest prince of the Donghu Dynasty Mang Yingli, Han Recommended to help the foreign vassals, and what he did was insulting to the national character, and Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had dismissed him and replaced him with the Zhou director.

Director Zhou knew how he came to be an official, if Qin Lin hadn't kicked over Han Jian, would it be his turn to admiral the Governor's Pavilion? Therefore, his smile was bright, waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, treating Qin Lin as his own uncle.

As soon as Qin Lin had a bad stomach, he thought about how to get the two principals to cooperate, bluff Huang Taiji, and lie to him about the origin and purpose of Urwin Yeli.

Before he could come up with an idea, he heard a thumping sound in the distance, short and powerful, very different from a firecracker, and experienced people knew it was a gunshot as soon as they heard it.

Qin Lin was startled, thinking that there was going to be some shooting murder again, so he waited to lead the people and rushed over.

Unexpectedly, Chen Kezhi and Director Zhou only frowned slightly, and the two of them muttered and complained: "Master Zhao is good at these miscellaneous studies, no wonder the name of the imperial examination is lost to Sun Shan, so he can only use calligraphy to follow the miscellaneous path." ”

"Isn't it, pestering the envoys of the Lumi Kingdom, and slamming the gun for a while, it really annoys people!"

Qin Lin had been playing with guns all day long in his previous life, and when he heard the word gun, he became interested, but left the matter of Urwin Yeli behind, and asked the two principals to take him to see what was going on.

When asked on the way, Director Zhou told the reason.

Zhao Shizhen, the chief secretary of Honglu Temple, was sent by the imperial court to receive and teach these tribute envoys the etiquette of pilgrimage, who knew that he was left to do business, and the etiquette was just a few rough fools, and it was okay to get by, but he pestered the envoys of the Lumi country all day long to study the guns.

Rumi Country? Qin Lin Nahan, he knew that Annam was Vietnam, the heavenly side was Arabia, Samarkand was in Central Asia, and Turpan was in Xinjiang Province, but he didn't know that there was such a country as Rumi, so he carefully asked Director Zhou.

This Zhou director served in the Ministry of Rites, and was sent to manage the same hall, and he was very clear about the vassal countries in the four corners of the world, and it was like a treasure to talk about.

After listening to the country's geographical location and customs for a while, Qin Lin suddenly realized that the original Rumi State was the transliteration of the Sultanate of Roma, and at this time the Sultanate of Roma had been destroyed by the Ottoman Turks, but the Ming Dynasty still called Turkey by the Rumi State.

Knowing this, Qin Lin became more and more surprised, with his little historical knowledge, he also knew that at this time, the Ottoman Turks were like the middle of the sky, seized Constantinople of the Eastern Roman Empire and changed it to Istanbul, and the army of water and land overwhelmed the European Catholic countries, its ruling center was far away in Asia Minor, close to Europe, and did not border the Ming Dynasty, how could it be willing to come to the Ming Dynasty as a lower vassal?

"Ha, it's not that our Yongle Ye Jiwei is still there, so Siyi doesn't dare to look at me Daming!" Chen Kezhi, the director of the Ministry of War, danced with his eyebrows.

Timur, a Turkic Mongol in Central Asia, claimed to be the heir to Genghis Khan's cause, built a vast empire, defeated the heyday of Turkey to the west, captured the Sultan Basayet, and forced Turkey to pay tribute to him.

At this time, the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the territory of the Timurid Empire was the four khanates of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was a Mongol.

Timur ignored it at first, but eventually sent an envoy to pay tribute, and in official letters he claimed to be a "minister" and served the Ming dynasty as his suzerain.

But Timur definitely did not want to serve Zhongtu as the suzerain, on the contrary, through the envoys, he continued to understand the situation and national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and after full preparation, Timur tore off his face, detained the Chinese envoys, and commanded the army to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was the reign of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and he also made corresponding military deployments, preparing for a decisive battle with the menacing Timur - the soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of him, and the army of the Ming Dynasty in the Zhu Di era went to the Mongolian steppe twice when it was fine, and the sailors, Zheng and Zheng Gonggong went to the West seven times, set up the Old Port Propaganda Department in Indonesia, and the navy went to Africa to promote the national prestige!

Who knew that before Timur set foot on the land of China, he suddenly fell ill and died, and his sons began to fight for power.

Soon after, one of Timur's sons inherited most of his father's strength, and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty as vassals to pay tribute, Zhu Di held a large-scale military exercise to invite him to visit, only to see the soldiers and horses majestic, guns like a forest, the envoy couldn't help but sigh and worship: "Fortunately, my country's Timur the Great died of illness on the way to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise his reputation of winning and undefeated in his life may be difficult to preserve." ”

This matter spread, and all the countries defeated by the Timurid Empire were in awe of the Ming Dynasty.

The Timurid Empire was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and Ottoman Turkey was a vassal of Timur, so even after so many years, the powerful Turkish sultan often sent envoys to make pilgrimages to express his respect for the Eastern Celestial Empire.

These anecdotes came out of the mouth of Chen Kezhi, the head of the Ministry of War, and he was full of spirit.

Qin Lin listened with great excitement, thinking that the prestige of China was spread far away in Africa and Asia Minor, which was really brilliant!

Why didn't the man take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan, Qin Lin was also eager to sail to the West with Zheng He, and he couldn't wait to go out with the army...... The sound of gunfire sounded again, reminding Qin Lin that he had arrived at the place.

Sure enough, it was Zhao Shizhen, the chief bookkeeper of Honglu Temple, who he saw yesterday, he was holding a very long arquebus in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was still billowing with green smoke, and he was a little surprised when he saw Qin Lin.

Zhao Shizhen stood beside several people dressed in Turkey, led by an old man with a snow-white beard on his black face, green eyes, a hooked nose, a white cloth wrapped around his head, a large blue satin robe, a scimitar studded with gems hanging from his waist, and leather boots with pointed ends upturned, looking like an elf living in Aladdin's magic lamp.

"Lamp God, lamp god, where is your oil lamp? Can you fulfill my three wishes? Qin Lin smiled and muttered to himself.

The envoy of the Lu Mi Kingdom put his hand on his chest and bent down to salute: "Say An! Honorable Minister of the Celestial Empire, it turns out that you are so familiar with the story of Aladdin's magic lamp, which is known to women and children in our country, but in the Celestial Empire in the East, I am afraid that not many people know about it. ”

Qin Lin was stumbling, it turned out that the Chinese language of the envoy of the Lumi Kingdom was so good, and he listened to the joke just now.

"Yes, I've heard that story," Qin Lin touched his nose, "Uh, my brother is dressed like a lamp god." ”

The envoy of the Rumi Kingdom smiled and said, "Murad. Yusuf, serve you wholeheartedly, I wonder if I am blessed to know the name of the minister of the Celestial Empire? ”

Qin Lin is wearing a python robe and jade belt today, so Murad, who is familiar with China, knows at a glance that he is a nouveau riche in the court, at first he saw that he was young, and thought he was a father-in-law, but when he saw that he had an Adam's apple, he knew that the other party's identity must be very noble.

Director Zhou added his intention to curry favor and said for Qin Lin: "This Qin general officer is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the hussar general, the upper guard, the palm seal of the Beizhen Fusi, and the edict of the prison, and when the pilgrimage is Youlong, there is no second person to compare." ”

"It turned out to be the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, fortunately, I will be lucky!" Murad put his hand on his chest again and bowed lowly.

Director Zhou and Chen Kezhi frowned, in the end, this Murad doesn't know enough about China, in Lumi country, it must be a good title for a favored minister, but in China, saying that someone is a favorite is not far from Yu Xing.

"Mr. Mu, what did you say?" Director Zhou said loudly: "General Qin has made many great contributions and is loyal to the country, so the imperial court is the weight of Mount Tai, and he has accumulated merit and promoted to his current official position, and he is not a lucky person who invites favor and promotion." ”

Mr. Mu? Qin Lin is another stumbling man, Director Zhou is really talented, next time Tong Hu or Sha Jia will be on the scene, right?
