my wife is mulan

"In November last year, the former queen regent and co-emperor of the eastern part of the empire passed away, and Marchian became the only emperor in the eastern part of the empire, but he was still just a poor puppet, controlled by the minister of power and the commander of the guards, Alpas. !"

After listening to it, Zhao Junsheng sighed: "The plot of the court struggle in Constantinople turned out to be so bloody, it is really amazing!"

Ali Test was stunned: "The plot is bloody? What do you mean by starting the show?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It probably means twists and turns! By the way, I wonder if you represent Emperor Marchian or Alpas, the power minister?"

Alitest bowed and said, "Honorable Emperor, I represent the Roman Empire, and I am the special envoy of the Eastern Region of the Roman Empire!"

"Well, it seems that you are a loyal patriot, so please tell me why you are here, and I will listen to you!"

Aliteste saluted and said: "A few years ago, His Majesty sent a mission to Constantinople to visit His Majesty the Emperor of our country. Now I am here as a return visit to your country as appointed by the Emperor of the Empire. Expressing high respect and bringing his greetings to His Majesty on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, this is the list of gifts from the Emperor of our country to His Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng waved to the eunuch Kang Yide who was standing next to him. Kang Yide stepped forward to take the gift list and turned around and put it in front of Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng took the gift list and looked at it. After only a glance, he put it down and asked: "I am very happy, please convey my thanks to His Majesty the Emperor of your country after you go back!"

"I will!"

"Then do you have any other intentions?"

Alitest bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty! After seeing the envoys sent by His Majesty and receiving gifts from His Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers were all very surprised that there is such a powerful Dagan Empire in the East." The empire, from the emperor to ordinary citizens in our country, is very yearning for oriental culture. I am here this time to take on the task of strengthening cultural exchanges between the west and the east. We will stay here for more than five years. I hope that your majesty can bring me The students here arrange a place to learn oriental culture. At the same time, if the students from your country are interested in our Roman culture, I will also send a tutor to give lectures. I will arrange two classes every week. Interested officials and students will all You can come to the class!"

After listening, Zhao Junsheng said: "I and the people of the Dagan Empire very much welcome your Excellency the envoy and members of the mission to visit and conduct cultural exchanges, and also welcome students from your country to come to study in Dagan. , I wonder if your students are proficient in my Dagan language?"

"Return to Your Majesty, we have never been exposed to the art of oriental language..."

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Then how many students do you have?"

"When we set off from Constantinople, there were 12 children from ten to 39 years old, but we encountered various accidents and deserts on the way, and only [-] of the [-] children were left!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face and regret: "This is really unfortunate. Please forgive me for my recklessness. I shouldn't bring up your sorrow, but I know that you must have experienced very terrible things along the way!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it, it has already happened, and we have accepted this sad reality!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Since the students you brought are still children, aged between ten and 12 years old, and they can't speak Chinese, I suggest that you put your students together with our country's school-age children. From the beginning of learning Chinese characters, I have five very famous academies with profound cultural atmosphere. They are Chang'an Academy, Yingchuan Academy, Bingzhou Academy, Qianjing Academy, and Qingzhou Academy. The courses arranged by these five academies are all They are very comprehensive, and they can learn from the enlightenment of young children to take the imperial examination. They are the most famous academies with the strongest teachers in my work! The 39 overseas students brought by Your Excellency are divided into five parts, which are divided into five parts. Arrange these five academies to study, but Your Excellency needs to arrange an official to take care of them in each of the five academies, and be responsible for contacting our officials, so that even if something happens, the two sides can communicate and coordinate in time!"

Alitest asked: "Aren't the five academies mentioned by His Majesty no longer in one place?"

"Yes, they are located in five places, all of which are far apart, and the subjects they teach are all focused. I think this will be very helpful for you to understand Eastern culture!"

Alitest thought for a while, then saluted and said, "Your Majesty is very considerate, I fully agree with His Majesty's arrangement, please take your trouble!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency is satisfied, as long as you are satisfied, I will send officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to contact your Excellency about the details of the specific matters, and then discuss in detail!"

Alieste was very shocked. He thought that the education system of the Roman Empire was the most systematic, perfect, advanced and excellent in the world, but he did not expect that there were academies similar to schools in the Eastern world, and there were a large number of them, specializing in large-scale Cultivating students, disseminating knowledge and culture, and setting up special government agencies for management seem to be more advanced than the education system of the Roman Empire.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are the most enlightened, magnanimous and wise emperor I have ever met. I believe that I will live a very wonderful life in the years after the Dagan Empire!"

"Forgive me for one more thing. I heard that His Majesty has issued an order to impose tariffs on export and import goods. I wonder if that is the case?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Yes, Your Excellency is quite well informed!"

Aliteste said immediately: "Your Majesty, your country's unilateral increase of tariffs is very detrimental to our country. You are deliberately creating trade friction. On behalf of our emperor and court, I express our indignation at your country's move. Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty." , I hope His Majesty can take back your decision, I think this will be of great benefit to the relationship between our two countries!"

Chapter 1096

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, raising tariffs is also a decision of our country's last resort, but this situation will not last forever. It is just a product of a period of history. Waiting for this special period to pass, my country's import and export tariffs It will return to normal, and this will not cause much loss to your country! In order to express our apology, our country is willing to bear all the expenses of study and life of the 39 overseas students in your country, what do you think?"

Alitester doesn't think he can change Zhao Junsheng's decision, and he has nothing to do if Qianguo doesn't take back this decision. Now Qianguo says that he can bear the study and living expenses of the children studying abroad, which is also a sense It is better to be a human being and know how to advance and retreat, so he saluted and said, "Okay then, I will communicate with those foreign businessmen!"

After pushing away Stress, Zhao Junsheng asked Kang Yide: "Have Li Shan and Prince Jing set off yet?"

"Return to Your Majesty, they are leaving tomorrow!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Kang Yide: "Tomorrow, you will send them off on behalf of me, and tell Li Shan and Prince Jing how many eyes you will need to grow along the way. It sounded the alarm for us. Although the laws of Dagan have been gradually improved in these years, there are still officials who dare to resist the laws and violate the laws and commit crimes. They will be more careful along the way, and if something goes wrong, they will immediately arrest people and remove them from their posts, and if there are no problems, they will be reinstated later!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Tingfeng Bieyuan.

This is the residence arranged by the Qian Kingdom officials for Princess Nanjun and her son-in-law Chu Yuan in the Southern Dynasty.

Princess Nanjun came back in a carriage from a trip to visit friends. The carriage stopped in the yard. Two maids got out of the carriage, took down a wooden ladder and put it on the carriage. Princess Nanjun stepped down on the wooden ladder.

A few maids and servants came out of the house and saluted: "See the princess!"

Princess Nanjun nodded and asked, "Where is the son-in-law?"

"If you go back to the princess, the son-in-law is reading in the study!"

"Is dinner ready?"

"It's ready, the son-in-law has been waiting for the princess to come back and have dinner together!"

"Okay, go and serve dinner on the table, I'll wash up and come out to eat with my son-in-law!"

"promise!"

Princess Nanjun quickly finished washing, she came outside the study and shouted, "Husband?"

Chu Yuan looked up, stood up with a smile on his face and said, "The princess is back?"

Princess Nanjun scolded: "Husband, I have told you many times not to call me Princess, it seems too original, so call me Xian'er!"

Chu Yuan smiled, nodded and said, "That's fine, Xian'er came back quite early today!"

Liu Xian listened intently for a while, and knew that there was no one outside the study, so he immediately said: "I heard a news today that Prince Jing will go abroad as the deputy imperial envoy tomorrow to inspect the renovation of farmland irrigation facilities, dredging of ditches and rivers! "

"Oh?" Chu Yuan was taken aback, and then said: "It seems that we can't follow, let alone meet King Jing outside of Chang'an, otherwise the traces and the intention to approach King Jing will be too obvious! Regarding King Jing, we can't It's too hasty, as long as the Southern Dynasty doesn't send people to rescue, we can only stay in Chang'an with peace of mind, try to make friends with as many people as possible before King Jing returns to Beijing, and we can't deliberately make friends with ministers and ministers of the state. Now there are people staring at us, we must be careful Acting, and we can't expect that the government will always treat us with courtesy, as long as they discover our purpose and intention, I'm afraid they will attack us in an instant!"

Liu Xianxiu frowned slightly: "Husband, besides King Jing, don't we have anyone else to choose from? We must choose him?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If we weren't the princess and son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, we would have many choices. Every prince could be our candidate, but our identities dictate that we can only choose Prince Jing! The prince is not around. Lack of talents and counselors must keep us at a respectful distance. The King of Shu is too deep-minded. I can't figure out his bottom line. Except for Prince Jing, the other princes are not yet of age..."

Liu Xian sighed: "It seems that this is the only way!"

Chu Yuan said at this time: "Today is the third time I have visited King Jing, but I still haven't seen him. This further confirms my guess. I'm afraid he has already been warned by Emperor Qian!"

Liu Xian became worried when he heard the words: "If you say that, don't we have no chance?"

Chu Yuan smiled and said: "Not necessarily, Xian'er, don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed, we have a lot of time, and we have to wait for the opportunity slowly! As the saying goes, things are man-made, and even if there is no chance, we can Use some people to create opportunities, such as this time..."

Liu Xian hurriedly asked: "What is your husband's plan?"

"It's not urgent, I already have a general idea, but I still need to think carefully!"

After Zhao Junsheng’s edict was issued, the local governments were not surprised when they received the edict. Qianguo and the Yanda people had already become enemies, and the Sogdian merchants were under the rule of the Yanda people. Special merchants came and went freely in Dagan territory, not to mention the economic losses, even the military mobilization of Dagan may not be able to deceive those Sogdian merchants who are good at drilling.

The local governments acted urgently and immediately notified the Sogdian merchants within their jurisdiction of the order, and they must leave the territory of the Dagan Empire within one month, otherwise all property would be confiscated and forced to be deported.
