The news of Princess Maria's return to Constantinople spread throughout the beautiful city that day. The embassy of the Great Song Dynasty also knew the news, and the current ambassador, Yang Congrong, was working on the construction site like everyone else when he heard the news, and he was weaving a thick cable with several hemp ropes.

To build a sturdy, tall and beautiful embassy, you need to place a lot of stone in a better position, and these stones, which often weigh several tons, require a lot of ropes from the pulleys.

After finishing the work in hand, Yang calmly took the paper on which the message was written. For this Princess Maria, Da Song can be said to know nothing. It is written on the paper that Princess Maria married the previous Khan of the Ilkhanate, Abha, and now Abhaha has died and the princess has returned. After reading it, Yang Congrong was completely unable to form any concept.

Yang Congrong didn't continue to spend energy talking nonsense, so he asked Dong Zhongsong, a former chamberlain who had just arrived here, to contact the eunuchs of the Eastern Roman Empire. See what you can get out of the news.

Dong Zhong Song's uncle was Dong Songchen, Song Lizong's very close chamberlain. Dong Songchen was powerful when he was alive, and he was posthumously awarded the title of envoy after his death. The chamberlains of the Great Song Dynasty were basically hereditary, and Dong Zhongsong also became an attendant. Although the era of Duzong was not particularly prominent, at least it was passable.

After the surrender of Lin'an, the Dong family went to Fujian, and they also became a family of heroes. However, the Zhao official family canceled the chamberlain, but gave the corresponding level to the chamberlains who continued to follow the Great Song Dynasty. And Dong Zhongsong and several other chamberlains were also sent to Eastern Rome on an errand, not to mention the corresponding money for the errand, just the goods brought out by these people within the allowable range made these people's families make a lot of money.

Therefore, Dong Zhongsong's loyalty to the Great Song and Zhao Guan's family in his heart is no different from before the abolition of the inner servants. After receiving the order of the regiment commander, Dong Zhongsong ordered the preparation of gifts.

It didn't take long for Dong Zhongsong to arrive at the official residence of the third-in-command of the current emperor of Eastern Rome. The third-in-command was named Hippocrates, and was mainly responsible for managing the horses for the current emperor. Although the two are from different countries, although they have different bloodlines and appearance characteristics, their common shortcomings make the two very close. The geographical distance between the two of them made the two of them feel another fate.

Dong Zhongsong entered Hippocrates' mansion and took a sample of the gift and motioned to go to the inner room. Hippocrates, though curious, did not refuse. In the relatively uninhabited inner room, Dong Songchen showed the new factory products of Da Song, sanitary napkins and diapers. In the noble lady class of the Great Song Dynasty, this thing has become popular. Because the production volume cannot meet domestic demand, it is a prohibited product for export.

For eunuchs, their defects are not natural, so they are not easy to hold urine and are prone to leakage. So there is a smell on the body, which affects their image very much. As a eunuch in the Eastern Roman Empire, Hippocrates was plagued by this question for a long time. Holding the objects provided by Dong Zhongsong, although the extremely lame Greek could not be expressed clearly, as long as he looked at Dong Zhongsong's analogy, coupled with the touch and observation of the material, Hippocrates had already greatly understood.

Regardless of the so-called politeness, he first ran to take a shower, and then put the sanitary napkin in the underwear provided by Da Song, and the Eastern Roman eunuch had already shown a heartfelt smile. Spray some perfume again, the unspeakable hidden over the years, has the meaning of solving it in one fell swoop.

If someone else did this, Hippocrates would have a bad feeling in his heart. It was Dong Zhongsong who helped, and Hippocrates was left with only gratitude in his heart. As a eunuch, Hippocrates naturally knew that he would return the favor, and the two drank black tea, smoked cigars, and chatted.

For Princess Mary, Hippocrates didn't know much either. He hadn't joined the eunuchs twenty years ago, and he had only occasionally heard of such an existence. "I have heard that the Great Khan of the Ilkhanate has been trying to contact the Christian countries to destroy Mamluk. But it takes too much money to fight, and the Christian countries don't have that much money, and even if they conquer Egypt, it won't take advantage of the Ilkhanate. Therefore, the request of the Ilkhanate was never granted. ”

"I see." Dong Zhongsong can also understand. At that time, the court of the Great Song Dynasty also reflected on foreign policy many times, and those hereditary eunuch families also had inheritance. For example, when the Mongols were rising, in fact, many people in the Great Song Dynasty did not agree with the United Mongols to eliminate the Jin State. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the United Jin State eliminated the Khitan as a lesson from the past. If it weren't for the Jin State's decision to move south after the Battle of Yehuling, and then launched a series of attacks on the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song might not have been so eager to unite with the Mongols to attack.

This is the case with alliances, where people come together because of a common enemy. When the common enemy is eliminated, the two sides begin to fight each other.

"Is this princess here to contact Eastern Rome?" Dong Zhongsong raised another issue of concern to the Great Song Mission.

The enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was undoubtedly Mongolia, and under the successive victories over the years, the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid of Mongolia. However, Constantinople is not the Great Song Dynasty, and the situation is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty thousands of miles away. According to information provided by Hippocrates, both the Mongols and the Great Song were in conflict with the Mamluks. The Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia seem to be more friendly to the Eastern Romans. This situation seems to be more nonsense. It needs to be sorted out.

"The princess didn't come back because of this, we naturally have the rules of Eastern Rome." Hippocrates explains the current situation.

After listening to the explanation, Dong Zhongsong learned about the characteristics of aristocratic women in Eastern Rome. Then he sighed: "Actually, my Da Song is similar." ”

The ordinary women of the Great Song Dynasty were just fine, and the aristocratic women would actually return home after being widowed. At that time, they can choose to remarry. And Princess Maria's return this time looks similar.

The two sides chatted for a while and exchanged information. The Great Song side was ready to export more silk to Europe, but what the European specialties were and what their value was, the Great Song Dynasty did not know about this. Upon learning of this new channel, Hippocrates generously offered that he could help the Great Song Dynasty with intelligence. If the Great Song was willing, he could even entrust a trading house that Hippocrates knew to help with sales.

For such enthusiastic service, Dong Zhongsong naturally would not refuse. Seeing the appearance of Europa with his own eyes, Dong Zhongsong knew that this place was more barren than he imagined, and there was nothing terrible in the local area to trade with the Great Song Dynasty. Compared to Europa, Tianzhu is much richer. More value for trading.

returned to the embassy of the Great Song Dynasty with the news, and Yang Congrong and the others couldn't say anything after hearing it. After arriving in the Eastern Rome, they discovered that the world was interesting and that the Mongols were more influential than the Great Song had imagined.
