After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng asked, "I don't know why the third prince came to see me here?"

The interpreter translated Zhao Junsheng's words to Wen He, and Wen He said: "I am here to meet His Majesty the Emperor at the order of my father, and I present a lion to His Majesty to express our country's friendship and respect! There are also some I want to discuss this matter with His Majesty!"

The interpreter translated Wen He's words again, Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "Where is the lion that the third prince gave me?"

"It's just outside the palace!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan and the other ministers, and asked: "I am given a lion by the Yanda Kingdom. I think you have never seen a lion before, right? Why don't you let them bring the lion up to the palace and let you have a look together?" ?”

All the ministers bowed to each other and said, "Relying on Your Majesty's great blessing, I just want to feast my eyes on it!"

"Since that's the case..." Zhao Junsheng said to Wen He: "Third Prince, why don't you ask your followers to bring the lion to open the eyes of me and these court ministers?"

"Obey!" Wen He agreed, and gave an order to an attendant behind him, who turned around and walked out. Immediately outside the hall, an eunuch led several soldiers to follow.

Not long after, a carriage came outside the hall, and eight disgusting men entered the hall with a big iron cage.

When the lion in the cage came to an unfamiliar environment and saw so many people, it became agitated, opened its mouth and roared: "Roar——"

Among the officials, some of them were frightened with fear, their faces turned pale and trembling. Wan Yutong got up with a pale face and ran to hide behind Zhao Junsheng.

Hua Mulan took a look and asked, "Is this a lion? Is it male or female?"

The interpreter translated it, and Wen He replied: "If you go back to your mother, this is a male lion! In our country, if you want to give a lion as a gift, you must give it to a male lion to show respect!"

Hua Mulan nodded, and asked again: "This lion's reminder is so huge, how much does it have to eat every day?"

"Mother, this lion can eat about eighty or ninety catties of meat for a meal, but if it is fed every day, it only needs ten catties of meat a day!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I like the gift that King Yanda gave me, I like it very much, so I accept it! Someone, take this lion away and send it to the Royal Beast Garden!"

The interpreter translated it once, and Wen He seemed very happy after hearing it. If the gift is not liked by others, it will be very embarrassing for those who hate it.

When the lion was carried away and the hall was a little empty, Zhao Junsheng said to Wen He: "Your Highness, Third Prince, I don't know much about Yanda Kingdom, so you can introduce Yanda Kingdom to me and my ministers and generals. ?"

Wen He thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what your majesty and everyone want to know?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You can introduce the king, queen, belief, marriage customs, funeral, residence, food, service, etc. of Yanda Kingdom first!"

After listening to the translation, Wen He agreed: "Okay! The current King Yanda is my father, his name is Wen Huer, and his father's queen is also my mother. They have six children in total, and I am the third! The royal family They all wear brocade clothes, and the status of our country's officials and people can be seen from the clothes, the more gorgeous the clothes and the finer the workmanship, the more noble the status of the person who wears them!"

"The status of women in our country is very high, and they often greet guests with their husbands, including the king and queen!"

"We hate the gods of heaven and fire in the country. We have to sacrifice before going out every day. After the sacrifice, we can eat and then go out!"

"Officials and people in our country all wear long gowns with small sleeves, gold and jade belts, and women wear furs and hats. There are horns on the hats, decorated with gold and silver! Some have only one horn, and some have multiple horns!"

"So far, our country has no other city walls other than the king's capital, and there are no houses on the city walls. They all live in yurts. The tents of the yurts face east, and they live by water and grass. In summer, they migrate to cool places. , migrate to warm places in winter, and mainly eat mutton!"

"I hate when people die, they use wood as the coffin, the rich are buried with stones, and the poor are buried with digging holes!"

"In terms of marriage customs, we hate people who are brothers sharing one wife!"

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and all the ministers of the Qian State were dumbfounded when they heard this. All the brothers have one wife?This... seems inappropriate, doesn't it?

Zhao Junsheng smiled in front of him and said, "Your custom of hating people is really strange. Brothers share one wife, but you can tolerate it? I really can't figure it out!"

Wen He said: "It's not surprising that His Majesty knows it. I hate that there are few women, which makes it necessary for brothers to have a monogamy. It is slightly more acceptable for brothers to have a monogamy. If you have a monogamy with other people , is also unacceptable!"

A minister next to him couldn't help asking: "If there are ten brothers in a family, why don't these ten brothers have one wife? This... this wife is really busy!"

Everyone had weird looks on their faces when they heard this, and both Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong turned their heads away.

Wen He said: "In my country, whether a woman is comfortable, comfortable and rich can be seen from her hat!"

Wan Yutong couldn't help asking, "How can you tell?"

"If there is only one horn on a woman's hat, it means that her husband has no other brothers, and his life will not be very good! The number of horns on a woman's hat means how many brothers her husband has. If there are four brothers, There are four corners on her hat, and the more husbands she has, the better off she must be!"

Everyone in the hall was speechless, there is such a custom in this world, it is simply a wonder in the world!

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is the throne of Yanda Kingdom passed to the eldest son? Or to the wise prince?"

Wen He replied: "Your Majesty, the throne of Yanda Kingdom may not be passed on to the son, and the king's brothers or sons are eligible to inherit the throne!"

"Why?" Hua Mulan asked.

Wen He said: "Because before the king became king, he had to share a wife with his brothers. Only after he became king, the wife belonged to him alone. Therefore, no one knows whose children the princes are. The mother doesn't know which husband's son the son is, but after all, they are all brothers, and they are closer in blood than half-fathers or half-mothers, so both brothers and sons are eligible to inherit the throne, which requires Let's see who the king will pass the throne to!"

Chapter 844 Persian Envoy Belus

Minister Pei Jin said: "The marriage customs of the disgusting people are similar to those of the women's country. In the women's country, women rule. A woman can have multiple husbands at the same time. Women have the final say on everything in the family, and men can only work or join the army! "

The ministers talked a lot, and they were all very interested in the local customs of Yan Daren.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand to stop the ministers from discussing, and asked Wen He: "Third Prince, what is the purpose of King Wuganda sending you to me this time?"

Wen Hedao: "I came here for the affairs of the Congling countries. Decades ago, the Congling countries regarded our people as their masters, and they paid tribute to me for years. But last year, your army attacked the Western Regions. The kingdoms of the desert have made the kingdoms of Congling afraid and dare not pay tribute to me anymore. Your country’s behavior has seriously violated the interests of my country in the desert of the Western Regions! My king does not know whether this is intentional or unintentional. , sent me here to ask His Majesty for clarification!"

The tone of these words could not be described as harsh, even a little domineering, and the ministers and generals in the court were filled with righteous indignation.

Zhao Junsheng didn't make a sound. People who hate people are obviously not easy to provoke. This barbaric country has no ethics. In their eyes, they only speak with scimitars, bows and arrows, and horses. Strong and prosperous, those who hate it will definitely not send envoys, but directly dispatch cavalry to kill the countries in the Western Regions.

Liang Ji stood up and said: "The matter the third prince asked is a bit complicated. I think the third prince came to me from thousands of miles away. After several months, he was exhausted and exhausted. He didn't want to come here even once." It's easy, why don't we just rest at the embassy for a few days, walk around inside and outside Chang'an, the capital of my dynasties, and appreciate the local customs and customs of my dynasties, and let's discuss this matter after the third prince has rested and played, shall we?"

Wen He was right when he thought about it. If he broke up with the emperor and ministers of the Gan Kingdom when he first came, he would definitely return to the Yanda Kingdom immediately, and he would not even have a chance to appreciate the customs and customs of Chang'an. Wanting to play for a few more days, he has long heard from his ancestors about how vast and abundant the East Chinaland is, how it is full of flowers and flowers. It is a pity that his ancestors were weak back then and could not go south to enjoy the prosperity of the Central Plains, but now he has the opportunity up!

"Alright, I'm not familiar with Chang'an City, so please send someone to take me around for fun!"

Zhao Junsheng told Li Ji: "Li Ji, Minister of Honglu Temple, you will accompany the third prince these few days!"

Accompanied by the Minister of Honglu Temple, this standard is relatively high, but Wen He's status is not only an envoy, but also the prince of the Naida Kingdom, and he really needs a heavyweight minister to accompany him to show his importance .

"promise!"

Wen He bowed to Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, and left the hall with his entourage.

The hall was quiet, no one said a word.

After a long time, Wan Yutong got up and made a blessing to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to discuss state affairs with the ministers, so I will take my leave first!"

Hua Mulan also said: "Let me go too, Yutong, come and sit with me!"

After Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong left, Zhao Junsheng looked at all the ministers, "We have violated the interests of the disgusting people by sending troops to the Western Regions. How do I deal with it? How do I deal with myself?"

The ministers discussed with each other in low voices, and Pei Jin stepped forward to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the countries of Congling surrendered to Yuda several decades ago. The defeat of Shanshan and Kucha made all the countries in the Western Regions fearful of our army and surrendered, and the Congling countries were no exception. They indeed violated the interests of the Yanda Kingdom. If you are angry and disputing, you should reject the surrender of the Onion Ridge kingdoms!"

"The reason why I said this is based on several considerations: first, although there is a peace treaty between our country and the Southern Dynasty, this peace treaty is like a piece of waste paper, and the two sides can tear it up whenever they want. The recovery of the army has also strengthened a lot, if they ally with Rouran, we will be attacked by the north and the south!"
