Mr. Wang bowed and respectfully replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have formulated a detailed training plan based on the customs of the Xiongnu and the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. All members have participated in several rounds of basic training, and simulations will be carried out next.
Practice to ensure that each member can respond appropriately in different situations."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and then said to everyone: "Diplomacy is no small matter. Every word and deed is related to the image of the country. I hope everyone can take this training seriously, not only to learn the superficial etiquette movements, but also to understand the cultural connotation behind it.
, to achieve true perfection both internally and externally.”
A young envoy asked slightly nervously: "Your Highness, the culture of the Xiongnu is very different from ours. How should we deal with unfamiliar situations at the banquet?"
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and said in a calm but firm tone: "When encountering unfamiliar situations, we must first stay calm and don't panic. We can ask the Hun nobles or officials around us for advice in a timely manner, and at the same time show our sincerity and respect. Remember,
Sincerity and humility are common virtues in any culture.”
Another envoy added: "Your Highness, do we still need to learn some Xiongnu language expressions so that we can communicate more smoothly?"
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "That's true. Although Mr. Li will be our main translator, mastering some basic Huns greetings and words of thanks will help bring us closer to the Huns. Mr. Wang, you need to be there
Include this part of the training.”
Mr. Wang quickly agreed: "Your Highness is wise, I will immediately adjust the training plan and include the learning of basic Xiongnu language."
At this time, an experienced old envoy came forward and said to the young envoys with sincerity: "In addition to learning etiquette and language, it is more important to have an open and tolerant heart. We must respect the culture and customs of the Xiongnu,
Communicate with them in an equal and friendly manner, so that you can truly win their trust and respect."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "What the old envoy said is absolutely true. Our mission this time is not only for peace, but also an opportunity for cultural exchanges. Only by truly understanding and respecting each other can we establish a profound friendship.
"
Later, Zhu Biao personally participated in the simulation exercise, pairing up with members of the mission one by one, simulating diplomatic dialogue in different scenarios. He sometimes played the role of a Hun noble, and sometimes returned to the identity of the Ming envoy. Through actual combat exercises, he continuously improved the capabilities of the members of the mission.
Diplomatic response capabilities.
After the drill, Zhu Biao spoke highly of everyone's performance and encouraged everyone to continue working hard and strive to show the Ming Dynasty's style and wisdom during the mission.
Zhu Biao knew that the task of sending an envoy to the Huns was arduous. In order to ensure that the mission went smoothly, he paid special attention to formulating plans to deal with emergencies. In his study, he convened staff responsible for security, medical, diplomacy and other aspects to discuss and detail
transform these plans.
Zhu Biao stood in the center of the study, looking firmly at the members of the envoy, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, on this mission to the Xiongnu, we must not only show the etiquette and style of the Ming Dynasty, but also be prepared to deal with various emergencies.
We must have detailed preparations, especially for the unreasonable demands that may be made by the Huns."
He turned to Mr. Zhang, the aide in charge of diplomatic strategy, and asked: "Sir Zhang, what do you think about the unreasonable demands that the Huns may make?"
Mr. Zhang bowed in salute, pondered for a moment and then replied: "Your Highness, as a nomadic people, the Huns are extremely dependent on land and resources. They may make some excessive demands on the grounds of border conflicts and territorial disputes. We
It is necessary to prepare response strategies in advance, not only to express Ming's position, but also to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "So, how should we respond to these unreasonable demands?"
Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and said slowly: "Your Highness, I think we can start from the following aspects: First, clearly express Ming's position and principles, emphasize the importance of peaceful coexistence, and point out that any unreasonable demands will undermine the relationship between the two countries.
friendly relations between them.”
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and his eyes became firmer: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true. We must take a clear stand against unreasonable demands, not only to safeguard the dignity of Ming Dynasty, but also to show our sincerity and wisdom. So, in terms of specific diplomatic rhetoric, we
How should we consider this?"
Li Shilang, who was in charge of drafting the diplomatic rhetoric, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I believe that when responding to the Huns' unreasonable demands, our diplomatic rhetoric needs to be sincere but firm. We can first state the history of friendly exchanges between the two countries.
, emphasizing the importance of peaceful coexistence to both parties, clearly pointing out the unreasonableness of the Xiongnu’s demands, and expressing our sincerity in resolving any disputes through peaceful negotiations.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "What Li Shilang said is very consistent with my opinion. We must not only have a clear stance, but also convince people with reason, so that the Huns understand that no unreasonable demands can shake our determination to maintain peace in the Ming Dynasty."
At this time, General Zhao, who was in charge of security affairs, also stepped forward and added: "Your Highness, diplomatic rhetoric is important, but we also need to be prepared to deal with the tough measures that the Xiongnu may take. I suggest that during the mission, we should strengthen
Be vigilant to ensure the safety of the mission, and at the same time maintain close contact with local governments along the way to obtain rapid support in case of emergency."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao is right to remind you that safety always comes first. We must ensure the personal safety of the members of the mission without any negligence. Mr. Wang, you
Responsible for coordinating with local governments along the way to ensure they understand our itinerary so that assistance can be provided when necessary."
Mr. Wang, the local official in charge of liaison, bowed and obeyed the order: "Yes, Your Highness. I will make arrangements immediately to ensure that the officials along the way are aware of our itinerary and make corresponding preparations."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and continued: "In addition, we also need to consider the psychological tactics that the Huns may adopt, such as deliberately creating a tense atmosphere to try to force us to make
Give in. How should we respond to this?”
Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, in the face of the possible psychological tactics of the Huns, we need to remain calm and rational and not be fooled by their appearances. We can understand the true intentions of the Huns by strengthening intelligence collection, and at the same time, through public disclosure
Transparent diplomatic means demonstrate our sincerity and determination and prevent the Huns from using information asymmetry to exert pressure."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true, intelligence work is very important. We not only need to understand the dynamics of the Xiongnu, but also let the outside world see our determination and actions, so as to stabilize people's hearts and scare Xiao Xiao
.”
He paused for a moment, looked around, and said more firmly: "Everyone, this mission to the Xiongnu is an arduous task and a heavy responsibility..."
All the members of the mission bowed and saluted, saying that they would do their best and live up to their mission. Looking at their resolute faces, Zhu Biao felt a surge of pride in his heart.
As the discussion deepened, various plans were gradually improved, and Zhu Biao became more confident.
Zhu Biao stood in front of the motorcade, looking at the team that was about to embark on the journey. He felt both pride and a hint of uneasiness in his heart. He turned around and looked at the staff beside him, his eyes revealing firmness and trust.
"Everyone, although this trip is far and difficult, we shoulder the peace mission of the Ming Dynasty and have a heavy responsibility." Zhu Biao's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the tranquility of the morning, "I have been preparing together with you for a long time, and now everything is ready.
Just waiting to set off."
General Zhang, who was in charge of security, took a step forward and said with cupped hands: "Your Highness, don't worry, the security matters along the way have been properly arranged. We will ensure the safety of Your Highness and the members of the mission."
Zhu Biao nodded in approval: "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhang. I feel relieved to have you here."
Then, Li Shilang, who was in charge of diplomacy, also stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the diplomatic rhetoric and etiquette regulations have been carefully considered by the ministers to ensure that they are foolproof. I hope this trip can show the style of the Ming etiquette country."
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude for Li Shilang's attentiveness: "Li Shilang has thought carefully. With you by my side, I have nothing to worry about in diplomatic matters."
At this time, a young envoy stepped forward slightly nervously, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness, this is the first time that I am on an envoy, so I am inevitably nervous. May I ask, Your Highness, how should you respond if you encounter an unknown incident?"
Zhu Biao comforted him with gentle words: "Young people, nervousness is inevitable, but remember to stay calm and collected. When encountering changes, you must first discuss countermeasures with everyone and trust your companions. We are a team and need to face all challenges together."
"
When the young envoy heard this, he felt a little relieved and bowed and said: "Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness. I will definitely keep it in my heart."
As the morning light began to shine, the motorcade set off slowly. Zhu Biao sat in the carriage, clutching his credentials in his hand, silently thinking about the possibilities he was about to face.
As the motorcade was moving, Zhu Biao opened the curtain and looked out the window at the scenery passing by. He felt a surge of pride in his heart. He turned to the attendant beside him and said: "Give the order to keep the team vigilant and pay attention at the same time."
The people’s livelihood and customs along the way may add some support to our trip.”
The attendant followed the order and left, while Zhu Biao continued to close his eyes and meditate, thinking about how to better communicate with the Xiongnu to reach a consensus on peace.
A few days later, the convoy arrived at a bustling market. Zhu Biao decided to stop here for a while to understand the local people and prepare for the next trip.
The market was bustling with people and there was a dazzling array of products. Zhu Biao and several staff members walked in the market, talking to vendors from time to time and asking about the local customs.
Seeing the extraordinary temperament of Zhu Biao and his entourage, an old merchant took the initiative to talk to him: "A few noble people have come all the way to do business?"
Zhu Biao responded with a smile: "We are envoys from the Ming Dynasty. We are traveling to the Xiongnu to find a way to peacefully coexist. We are passing through your land and came to understand the people's conditions."
When the old merchant heard this, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes: "It turns out that I am an envoy from the Ming Dynasty. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. Your country and the Xiongnu live in harmony, which is really a blessing for the people. If you need to understand the affairs of the Xiongnu, I may do my best."
Zhu Biao was overjoyed and quickly asked for advice: "Has my father-in-law ever been to the land of the Huns? Do you know anything about the customs and customs there?"
The old merchant nodded and said: "Although I have not gone there in person, I have had frequent transactions with Huns merchants over the years, and I know a little bit about their customs. The Huns have a forthright temperament, value trust, and have many similarities with the people of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you use the
Treating each other sincerely and coexisting peacefully is not difficult."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he became even more determined: "My father-in-law's words warmed my heart. During this trip, I will treat people with sincerity and strive for peaceful coexistence between the two countries."
The old merchant bowed and saluted: "May the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Xiongnu last forever, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
After a conversation, Zhu Biao had a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of the Xiongnu, and he became more confident.
As the convoy continued to move forward, Zhu Biao and the members of the mission gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the grassland. The surrounding scenery changed from a bustling market to a vast grassland, and the air was filled with the unique smell of pasture and horse manure.
One evening, the convoy stopped on a relatively open grassland, and everyone sat around the campfire, enjoying a simple dinner. Zhu Biao looked at the gorgeous sunset in the distance, feeling both uneasy about the unknown challenge and about the upcoming battle.
Anticipation of the meeting with the Xiongnu leaders.
"Your Highness, the nights on the grassland are cold, we need to prepare early." Mr. Zhao, who was in charge of logistics, reminded softly, holding a sheepskin map tightly in his hand, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
Zhu Biao nodded and turned to General Zhang, who was in charge of security: "General Zhang, the vigilance at night must not be relaxed, and the surroundings must be ensured to be safe."
General Zhang accepted the order and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the general has arranged for manpower to patrol in shifts to ensure that there is no danger."
At this time, a young scribe Li Mo who was accompanying him came forward. Although he was not a military commander, he was very talented and had made many suggestions for Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, we are not only here for peace, but also to show our
The culture and wisdom of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps we can use tonight to make the Huns feel our sincerity and friendship."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "What Li Mo said is absolutely true. What's your opinion?"
Li Mo smiled slightly, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and unfolded it gently. What he saw in the painting was the prosperous market scene of the Ming Dynasty, with lifelike characters and bustling people. "Your Highness, this is the "Picture of the Prosperous Age of the Ming Dynasty" painted by Wei Chen
, I want to use this picture to tell the Huns about the customs and customs of our Ming Dynasty, as well as our desire for peaceful coexistence."
Zhu Biao looked at the scroll carefully and felt a sense of pride and emotion in his heart: "What a painting of "The Picture of the Ming Dynasty", Li Mo, your talent is really outstanding. Tonight, let us make friends with paintings and talk about peace together."
As night fell, the bonfires on the grassland reflected expectant faces. Zhu Biao ordered people to set up a simple display stand next to the bonfire and slowly unfolded the "Ming Dynasty Picture of the Prosperous Age", attracting the attention of the Huns envoys and tribal leaders.
