Li Jian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses: "You mean me?"

The second prince smiled slightly, and said confidently: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Liu Liang should have told you something before you came to me, right?"

Only then did Li Jian suddenly realize: "It turns out that's the case, I said."

The second prince laughed loudly and said, "So, are you ready?"

Li Jian coughed and said seriously: "Frankly speaking, as a soldier, I really hate this kind of vain noble banquet.

However, since we are still friends, it's not that I can't perform beyond my normal limits. "

The second prince's laughter became even louder: "I knew it, I definitely did not make you a friend by mistake."

Night fell.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, the lights were brightly lit, and many noble men and women dressed in costumes walked around and chatted in the main hall.

The topic, of course, is inseparable from today's two key figures.

"You say, is it the eldest prince who will win today, or the second prince?"

"I think it's more difficult for the second prince."

"But didn't the second prince have the upper hand before?"

"That's because the second prince was able to expand the territory of our Seleucid Empire when he was the governor of the east, but now he has failed. Even the governor of the east is occupied by the cronies of the first prince. What else can the second prince do?" Turn over?"

"Perhaps the second prince may not necessarily be able to obtain the capital to make a comeback from the great Han country in the east."

"Don't be stupid, the Han Kingdom defeated the second prince's enemy country, do you really think there is any possibility of the two getting together?"

As a representative of the Han Dynasty mission, Li Jian stood proudly in military uniform, listening to the whispers around him.

Seeing that Li Jian was a "foreigner", these Seleucids did not deliberately avoid Li Jian when they spoke, but kept a little polite distance from Li Jian.

But they didn't expect that, as the first person in charge of the Nightingale's Seleucid branch, Li Jian had already studied the Seleucid secrets through a large number of Seleucid captive systems in the past few months. Language and culture have long since become an out-and-out "Seleucus".

At this moment, there was a small commotion, accompanied by a certain young heroic nobleman.

"Elder Prince!"

"It's His Royal Highness the First Prince!"

Li Jian subconsciously followed the crowd, and cast his eyes on the eldest prince who walked into the hall like a proud rooster surrounded by several nobles.

What Li Jian didn't expect was that the eldest prince looked around in the palace, then directly locked on to Li Jian, and walked over.

The first prince looked Li Jian up and down, raised his chin arrogantly, made an exaggerated expression, and laughed loudly: "So this is the little chicken that our second prince brought back from the east, huh?

Look at this ridiculous outfit, hahahaha! "

Chapter 1161 The Counterattack at the Dinner Party

After the eldest prince's words fell, there was a burst of laughter immediately.

For these Seleucids, although they suffered the defeat of the Han Dynasty in the east, the east is still too far away for Antioch, which is located on the east side of the Mediterranean Sea. thing.

It is true that the core stratum of rulers like Emperor Antiochus II certainly attached great importance to this defeat, but these rulers would never let the nobles below know about this kind of thing, otherwise they would inevitably Caused further panic within the Seleucid Empire.

Many Seleucids even felt that the so-called Great Han Kingdom in the distance might be the same as those barbarians on the Central Asian prairie, winning the Empire when the Empire was not paying attention, but when the Empire focused its attention, it was the Great Han Kingdom. Doomsday.

Under such a logic of thinking, it is naturally more difficult to expect how much respect they have for the envoys of the Great Han Kingdom.

Amidst all the laughter, the eldest prince seemed even more proud.

The humiliation of the envoys of the Han Dynasty was originally the eldest prince's plan.

In the eyes of the ambitious first prince, not only will he destroy the prestige of the second prince tonight, but he will also severely suppress a wave of envoys from the Han Dynasty, so as to achieve two goals with one stone and enhance his prestige in the Seleucid political arena .

But it was at this time that Li Jian, who was standing in front of the First Prince, spoke calmly.

"Eldest Prince, do the ten thousand Seleucid soldiers who died on the grassland know what you said?

How should the [-] soldiers captured by our Han Dynasty feel after hearing this? "

Although Li Jian's words were not loud, they were spoken in an incomparably standard Seleucid language, and they were clearly heard by everyone.

All the Seleucids present suddenly changed color.

With a sullen face, the eldest prince said coldly: "You, an idiot from the east, are actually questioning our Seleucid Empire?

You just defeated that stupid and ignorant guy of my brother, what's there to be proud of! "

Li Jian said indifferently: "I am not proud, but what I want to remind you is that our Great Han Kingdom is the real winner, and it is your Seleucid Empire that sent envoys to seek peace.

Wait until tomorrow, I will report this matter to our envoy, let him tell your majesty the emperor, if the loser can be so arrogant and rude to the winner, then maybe we don't need to sign any peace treaty at all, right? ? "

The first prince was even more shocked when he heard this, just when he was about to say something to reprimand Li Jian, a rude guy, a voice suddenly sounded: "Enough! Guests from the Great Han Kingdom have come all the way here, don't be rude! "

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and then backed away like a tide, revealing the Seleucid Emperor Antiochus II not far away, and Doros behind the emperor, including several important imperial officials.

Antiochus II strode over and stared at the eldest prince viciously: "Who gave you the courage to provoke my invited guests so much?"

The eldest prince was dumbfounded, and he stammered a little and wanted to explain: "Father, I misunderstood, it's all a misunderstanding."

Antiochus II said coldly: "My ears are not deaf, and my mind is not so confused that I can't even see the truth of the matter.

Now, apologize to this military attache from the Great Han Kingdom! "

For Antiochus II, he was really unhappy.

Antiochus II knew how strong the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty were, and how amazing the weapon called musket was.

In order to prevent great fear and confusion within Seleucid after hearing the specific battle situation, Antiochus II has always blocked the news of the musket to death.

Now the eldest prince is lucky to laugh at the envoy and military officer from Han Kingdom in public.

If this angered the Han Dynasty, the Musketeers would come again, would the Seleucid Empire still be able to mess around?

If it wasn't for the consideration of the dignity of the royal family and the feelings of the eldest prince's birth mother, the empress, Antiochus II really wanted to slap him in the face.

Under Antiochus II's stern eyes, the eldest prince had no choice but to salute Li Jian with great reluctance, and said: "This messenger, please forgive my offense, and I extend my most sincere regards to you." apology."

While speaking, the eldest prince was filled with humiliation, wishing to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Originally, he wanted to win glory for Seleucid, but now it has become a big joke of the Seleucid Empire!In the eyes of everyone in the Seleucid Empire, Li Jian was likely to be relentless in the future, but Li Jian's reaction was once again beyond their expectations.

Li Jian stepped back slightly, returned the salute with an envoy who was also a Seleucid nobleman, and said solemnly: "I accept your apology, Your Highness.

But I still want to remind you that as an aristocrat, it is very important to maintain demeanor and manners. Whether in the Han Dynasty or in Seleucid, our aristocrats should always be praised by others. "

After Li Jian finished speaking, the eyes of many Seleucid nobles suddenly lit up.

By the way, this is the taste!what smell?

The taste of nobility!Even Antiochus II nodded slightly involuntarily.

Of course, His Majesty the emperor of the Seleucid Empire knew very well that Li Jian was only the chief military officer escorting Liu Liang, the envoy of the Han Dynasty this time.

But even such a military officer was able to show neither humble nor overbearing in such an occasion, and even showed aristocratic temperament that fully met the standards of the Seleucids. What does this mean?

This shows that the Han Kingdom in the distance is actually the same as the Seleucid Empire, a country ruled by handsome and well-mannered nobles!Thinking of this, Antiochus II and even the other Seleucid nobles present had an inexplicably increased affection for the Han Kingdom.

Antiochus II coughed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, this warrior from the Han Kingdom.

Next, as the host here, I hope you can enjoy this banquet and let everyone know that the newly established friendship between our Seleucid Empire and the Han Kingdom will last for a long time. "

Li Jian smiled slightly, and respectfully saluted Antiochus II with a salute that was almost flawless in the eyes of the Seleucids and could no longer be in line with etiquette: "I obey, Your Majesty the Seleucid Emperor."

After solving this matter, Antiochus II also let out a sigh of relief.

Next, it's time for the real climax of the banquet.

Antiochus II said, "Where is the second prince?

Didn't he say he was going to give me a surprise? "

As soon as Antioch II's voice fell, the second prince's voice sounded immediately.

"Dear Father, I am already here."

Everyone followed the sound and turned their heads to look, and found that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had also appeared at the gate of the palace.

However, this time His Royal Highness the Second Prince was obviously different from usual.

Where is it different?

The answer is also very simple, because he wore a set of clothes that looked very strange to the Seleucids.

A set of silk robes.

In terms of texture, this set of silk robes is top-grade silk from the Han Kingdom, which was made by Zhao Kuo, who selected the most outstanding silk craftsmen in the Han Kingdom, and communicated with the second prince many times.

It is precisely because of this that this set of robes looks extremely in line with the aesthetics of the Seleucids. There are complicated and exquisite patterns on it, and the carefully modified details on the neckline, cuffs and other places make the whole set of robes very high-end The atmosphere is upscale.

Many Seleucid noble girls and women present couldn't help covering their mouths, exclaimed in a delicate voice, and looked at the second prince without blinking, as if they couldn't help but want to eat the second prince .

As we all know, women are the most sensitive to beautiful things, and being able to get the performance of most of the women present is enough to prove how huge a sensation the second prince's silk robe can bring.

Looking at the second prince in front of him, Antiochus II was also stunned.

After a while, Antiochus II said with a strange expression: "This is what you want to show me, a robe?"

It is true that Antiochus II felt that this robe is indeed quite good, and it is also quite admirable.

But the question is, is this mere robe worth Antiochus II holding a special court banquet and summoning so many important Seleucid ministers?

The eldest prince on the side obviously thought of this, and immediately laughed again: "A peacock is spreading its gorgeous tail feathers, oh, it looks really good!"

The meaning of the first prince is also very obvious, that is, can you, the second prince, still do some serious business, why are you doing these fancy things?

Facing the first prince's merciless accusation, the second prince didn't seem to panic at all, but said to Antioch II very respectfully: "Dear father, this is my minister who is on a mission to the Han Kingdom. The robe I saw when I was there was very exquisite in texture, and it would not be as prickly as clothes made of animal fur, but very smooth and comfortable.

Not only that, but Erchen also spent a total of 200 million yuan to hire the most outstanding royal craftsman in the Han Kingdom, and made a set of dragon robes exclusively for His Majesty for the father with a lot of money. Please also give the father a try! "

After saying this, the second prince waved his hand, and a beautiful maid directly brought out a set of clothes.

The second prince held this set of clothes, knelt in front of Antiochus II, and said respectfully: "Father, please."

Antiochus II pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, and walked to the exit not far away, and went to another place to finish changing clothes.

There are two main reasons why His Majesty the Emperor cooperated so well.

One is because the second prince feels really good in the silk robe, and the other is because of the price of 200 million yuan.

After seeing Antiochus II's departure, the eldest prince once again showed his vicious nature, and said to the second prince with a sneer, "I thought you had some trump card, but unexpectedly, it's a set of gaudy clothes?

You don't really think that such a clumsy method can make the emperor like you again, what a joke! "

The second prince looked calm and glanced at the first prince, but did not speak.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps, and Antioch II came back.

After everyone's eyes fell on Antioch II, they immediately exclaimed again.

At this moment, Antioch II was also wearing a set of exquisite and gorgeous silk robes.

However, this set of robes is obviously better than the one worn by the second prince just now, both in terms of texture and exquisiteness.

This made the women present dumbfounded again. They thought that the silk robe just now was the pinnacle, but now they, it turns out that this is the so-called mountain beyond the mountain!Its main color is purple, which looks very different, and the cuffs and neckline are inlaid with gold, which looks golden and has a very noble and majestic feeling.

What caught everyone's attention even more was that a high mountain was embroidered in the center of the robe. On the top of the mountain, an incomparably majestic emperor was sitting on the throne on the top of the mountain, revealing his extremely robust upper body. Also with a striking golden halo.

This is Zeus, the most supreme god in Greek civilization!After a brief silence, Doros, the court minister, suddenly called out.

"Only such exquisite clothes can be worthy of the omnipresent majesty of our Emperor!"

After saying this, Doros knelt down on one knee towards Antiochus II with a plop.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, the other ministers also knelt down and praised the majesty of Antiochus II.

Even Antioch II himself had a satisfied smile on his face.

Indeed, this is just a set of clothes.

However, this is an extremely exquisite, gorgeous, noble, majestic, and unique set of clothes.

It was a set of clothes made of heavy gold, extremely comfortable to wear, and extremely able to highlight the dignity of Emperor Antiochus II.

For Antiochus II, is there anything more satisfying than this?

Antiochus II heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on the second prince who had knelt down a long time ago: "My child, this time, you have done a very good job, very good! This suit is indeed a suit I am very satisfied with the priceless treasure!"

Hearing Antiochus II's words, the First Prince's body, whose face had already turned ashen, shook violently, and his whole body was on the verge of falling.

For the eldest prince, this is definitely the worst ending.
