The Huitong Palace Mansion is continuous, majestic and deep, with palaces and pavilions that are magnificent and gorgeous. The palaces and pavilions everywhere are set among rockeries and ponds, and are beautiful. [] "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name" "
This is the place where foreign envoys are received, and it is the front of the imperial court. Naturally, it cannot be inferior in these aspects.
Gao Xu, the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty, was sitting in a flower hall. It was said to be a flower hall, but it occupied an entire courtyard, a jingshe courtyard, a pavilion and a garden. It was like a jingshe. Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, sat under him.
First, he said: "Your Highness, Meng Fusheng, the Minister of Rites, has gone out of the city to greet the two envoys from the Timurid Empire. According to etiquette, he should be received by Honglu Temple, sent to the Huitong Pavilion for accommodation, and then the Ministry of Rites will teach him etiquette.
Choose a day to ascend to the palace and meet the king.
Now that the Emperor is not in the capital, if they are asked to go to the Prince's Mansion to see His Highness, it would be a source of gossip and would be inconsistent with etiquette, so I asked His Highness to deign to condescend and use this hall as a place to meet. When they arrive, His Highness
You can welcome him to the corridor without descending the stairs. Once he has finished bowing, you can just invite him into the hall for a conversation!"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and Lu Zhen said again: "Since the emperor is not in the capital, there is no need to give a banquet. It can only be hosted by the Huitong Hall. I transferred a Meng Guguan interpreter from the Siyi Hall to translate for His Highness.
!”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded again, but still did not speak. He was silently memorizing the various etiquette processes of receiving foreign envoys. For a prince, these things would not be used once in many years, so naturally he would not be familiar with them.
Heart.
Lu Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Also, foreign countries have different etiquette. If the envoys here are not expensive and follow the etiquette of that country, Your Highness does not need to insist too much on it!"
During the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, monarchs never got too entangled in this issue. When foreign envoys saw Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he did not kneel down, but Emperor Taizong just laughed. When the lame Timur was still alive, his envoys paid a visit to Emperor Yongle but did not kneel down, and Emperor Yongle also did not kneel down.
I didn't get angry and kicked him out. From the bottom of my heart, this is a kind of self-confidence. I won't deny my authority just because I kneel or not. "Yin" cannot strengthen the country, and foreign relations are more pragmatic.
The reason why Zhu Di attended Xia Xun's military parade was not because of the superficial fact that Timur's envoy refused to worship him, but because of their attitude towards the Ming Dynasty's diplomats and their behavior of detaining the Ming Dynasty's envoy.
This shows the growth of their ambitions and the show of force is to show the strength of the Ming Dynasty in order to achieve a longer-term goal. Otherwise, why would they go into such a big move?
Zhu Gaoxu was multitasking. While listening to his introduction, he memorized the etiquette. When he heard this, he suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Oh! There was a fight on the way when they came here, and many people died?"
Lu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "No, it was just what happened the day before yesterday. They had a verbal conflict during the night and then got into a fight. Many people on both sides died. Shumi Group 2"
Zhu Gaoxu's beard was moist, he smiled knowingly, and thought to himself: "Come on, the prince and grandson of Timur's empire have reached the point where they are incompatible with each other. If a country sends two teams of envoys to our Ming Dynasty, the country will definitely have political problems.
There are many people, so they ask me for the Ming Dynasty. The best thing is that since they ask for the Ming Dynasty from me, this can make a big difference. If I force them to submit and grow up with the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, my father will definitely be very happy!"
Just as Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about it, he and the people outside the hall shouted horses and drove cars. Two envoys from the Timurid Empire, belonging to the fourth son of the emperor Shaharu and the emperor's grandson Harry Sultan, arrived at the same time.
"Please, please come this way!"
Meng Fusheng, the minister of rites, got off his horse and gestured to the envoys from both sides. The two envoys from the Timurid Empire dismounted and walked to Meng Fusheng. One had a new wound on his cheek, and the other had his arm slung with a bandage. They shouted at each other aggressively.
Staring, he snorted heavily. Meng Fusheng looked helpless, and quickly stood between the two of them to separate them, and even gestured to invite them into the hall.
The Huitong Pavilion is magnificent, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant, just like a garden. Zhu Gaoxu did not receive the audience in the main hall, but avoided the Huitong Hall. This was also to avoid suspicion. After all, the prisoner was not the emperor. When the foreign envoys arrived, the prisoner could not ignore him, but he
Nor can he act like the leader of a country.
Meng Fusheng led them through a lopsided door and along the fine stone path to the living room. In front of the hall, guards on the left and right stood holding knives, very solemn. Meng Fusheng turned around hurriedly, pressed his hands down, and made a silent sound.
He signaled, then lifted up the skirt of his robe, and turned back to report. Zhu Gaochi and Lu Zhen were sitting in the hall. The two envoys had not arrived yet. When he saw them stopping, Zhu Gaochi had already stood up.
Come forward slowly.
"Your Highness, the envoy has arrived!"
Meng Fusheng hurriedly saluted the King of Han. Zhu Gaochi nodded proudly and floated out. Meng Fusheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Lu Zhen who was following behind, and complained angrily: "My lord, I have been disgraced today." 7
"
Lu Zhen said in confusion: "What?"
Just as Meng Fusheng was about to speak, the King of Han was already standing in the corridor. He coughed heavily. Meng Fusheng quickly stepped out of the door and introduced to the two people: "This is our Highness the King of Han. His Majesty is on a northern tour. The King of Han is now my Great Ming Dynasty Supervisor."
Guo, why don’t you come forward to pay your respects!”
Two foreigners with high noses and deep eyes, and curly beards under their chins stared at Meng Fusheng with a pair of deep-set eyes, with question marks on their faces.
Zhu Gaoxu treated them like an ancient man who would caress his chest and bow to the courteous ones on one knee, so he immediately scolded them loudly and gave them a warning first. This thing was so beautiful that it could overshadow the prince. In addition, the prince has often made his own decisions recently.
This made his father furious, and he had great hope in competing for the throne. Unexpectedly, when the words came to his lips, he saw that the two of them were motionless and did not even bend their waists. He couldn't help being shocked and angry, and turned around and asked Meng Fusheng: "They
What does this mean?"
Meng Fusheng was also panicked and said loudly: "This is my Royal Highness the King of Han, the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't you show me courtesy?"
The two foreigners stared at Zhu Gaoxu. They were also puzzled. They also felt that this tall and mighty young man should be a big shot, but they didn't know who he was. It is said that the Ming Emperor was not that young.
, it is related to the national system, how can they easily salute before knowing the identity of the other party.
Seeing that the two of them were still silent, Meng Fusheng couldn't help but turn to the Siyiguan interpreter who was standing on the other side of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and said: "Translate it! Translate it to them!"
The interpreter rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Isn't there an interpreter standing next to you? I am interpreting for the King of Han today. Why do you want me to interpret for him when you speak?" He muttered in his heart and coughed.
, I translated what Meng Fusheng said to the two envoys from the Timurid Empire. As a result, the two foreign envoys were still standing there dumbfounded like ducks listening to thunder.
The interpreter also panicked and spoke loudly again. The other party listened carefully and listened carefully. After listening, he just spread his hands and looked helpless. The interpreter panicked and stammered: "They...could they be deaf?"
?”
At this time, the unlucky translator who was following Meng Fusheng quietly came over and whispered: "Brother Chen, they don't seem to understand the ancient Meng language."
"ah?"
The interpreter standing next to Zhu Gaoxu was startled and lost his voice: "You don't understand the ancient Meng language? How can this be unreasonable? Do they deliberately make things difficult for others?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was already livid at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you muttering about? Why don't they just keep silent?"
The two interpreters stammered and couldn't answer. At this time, one of the two bearded ones seemed to understand something and muttered a series of words. The two poor interpreters widened their eyes and raised their eyebrows.
The two of them murmured for a long time, but they couldn't understand the meaning of the whole sentence, so they had to kneel down in front of Zhu Gaoxu and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, their language..."
Wei Chen doesn’t understand..."
During the Tang Dynasty, a Tibetan country in the Western Regions paid tribute. At that time, the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions were so close, but no one could understand all the languages in the Western Regions. When the Tibetan country handed over its credentials, no one could read them. Fortunately, Li Bai
Suiye City, who was born in the far west, knew this kind of word, otherwise he would lose the face of the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu came here with great interest, and finally encountered such an embarrassing thing.
He couldn't understand what he was saying, and who was this prestige being directed towards? Zhu Gaoxu couldn't even figure out who of the two bearded men in front of him was from Shaharul and who was from Harry Sultan. Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red immediately, and he
With a red face and thick neck, he asked someone to put the envoys from both sides down first. As soon as the two envoys left, Zhu Gaoxu became furious and cursed the two ministers Lu Zhen and Meng Fusheng, and then walked away.
In a short time, this joke spread throughout Nanjing.
The official language of the Timurid Empire is Turkic. Turkic and Meng belong to the Altaic language family. Some of their vocabulary is the same, but it is far from the point where one can understand Meng and understand Turkic. Timur
The main folk languages of the empire are Persian and Arabic. These language areas are currently not areas with frequent exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty has very few language talents in this area.
The Ming Dynasty only established the Siyi Museum in the fifth year of Yongle's reign to specialize in translating foreign languages and characters. It has only been around for five or six years because few scholars are willing to engage in this industry. The Siyi Museum is open to eight of the Siyi countries.
The largest translation hall has only four interpreters, and some countries with whom we have not seen each other for many years have only one or two teachers, not even students.
The Ming Dynasty currently cultivates very few translator talents. Even when it comes to Tatar, Nvzhen, Korea, Japan, Luzon, Annan... these areas with close exchanges, the main translator talents are still sent to the court from the local level.
But it is actually very rare to encounter a situation like this today, because the sending country also has interpreters. Even if the two countries are too far apart and do not understand each other's languages, their interpreters can also understand the third-party language in the area between the two countries.
, can be used as a communication platform. The communication platform between the Ming Dynasty and the Timur Empire has always been Mengguyu.
But as luck would have it, two teams of envoys from the Timurid Empire got into a fight while they were resting, and many people died, including their interpreters. As a result, the current embarrassing situation resulted.
, poetic and picturesque.
Xia Xun, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, sat on the bow of the boat, holding a fishing pole, and said to Xu Jiang, who was standing behind him with an umbrella: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and he has always cared for his brothers. How can he complain to the emperor about his filial piety to his ministers?"
Where is the lawsuit against my brother? We don't need to pay attention to it, someone will do this evil."
He lifted up the fishing rod, quickly changed the bait, flicked it leisurely, and the fish floated up and down on the ripples of the lake. After settling, Xia Xun said leisurely: "Prepare the car, I'm going to invite someone. Then I'll bring it to King Han."
A dose of eye yao, and it's time for us to appear."

Haha! I haven’t dreamed for many years, but I actually had a dream last night.
In the dream, it was ancient times for a while, modern times for a while, flying in the sky and escaping from the earth, gun battles with spies, and battles of wits and courage. It was so exciting. Later in the dream, eh? Because of my outstanding performance, I actually won the favor of a beautiful woman.
Heart, just like the common ending of 007, she very implicitly invited me to leave together, as if we were going to a very antique hotel, which was indeed very antique, with strings of red lanterns.
I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm thinking about it, and I suddenly thought of a very important question: What should I do with tonight's update? I want to code, but what will happen if there are less updates? I'm so confused, I'm so confused.
I was struggling, and suddenly I opened my eyes and woke up!
You said that if you don't wake up and continue to dream, it should be very sweet.
