"Don't thank me, you boy. This time you married a Confucian. Letting you enter the palace to see Concubine Zhou is not a violation of the father's will. But you can't marry again in the future, I can't marry you." I don’t want to bear the reputation of violating the last emperor’s will and being unfilial.” Zhu Di said, filling another bowl of noodles from the basin.

"Then I won't be polite to you." Zhu Song swallowed the noodles baldly, "Brother Sihuang, what kind of wind is blowing today? Why are you and the two adults here today?"

Xie Jin, who had been eating noodles with his head down, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "The lower official is thinking about this too!"

"Hehe, I thought you guys would keep silent." Zhu Di laughed and said, "Okay, let me show you something, Zheng He, go and get the things on the dragon case."

"Yes!" Zheng He picked up a volume of memorials from the dragon case and walked back.

Zhu Di took the memorial from Zheng He's hand and said, "Let's have a look. After reading it, tell me what you think."

"What is so mysterious?" Zhu Song took the memorial and opened it to read it. After a while, Zhu Song frowned and said, "Holy Roman Empire? Brother Four, I remember that in the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan They've been there before and flattened the whole shitty empire. What, now they're popping out again?"

"Holy Roman Empire?" Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, snatched the memorial from Zhu Song, and said, "Let's take a look."

The Holy Roman Empire was a feudal monarchy empire that spanned Western and Central Europe from 962 to 1806. Its territory was centered on Germania, including some surrounding areas. At its peak, it included the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Burgundy, as well as the Kingdom of Freedom. Kingdom of West Asia. ?

The early Holy Roman Empire was a feudal empire in which the emperor had actual power. In the fourteenth century, it evolved into a federation that recognized the emperor as the highest authority.

"The Holy Roman Empire actually wants to send special envoys to Ming Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations, and the ghosts will believe them!" After reading the memorial, Xie Jin suddenly sneered, "There are some people from the Western Regions in our Nanjing city, and they have always been masters with their nostrils turned up Son, none of us Ming people want to deal with them."

"I sent them together, besides this thing that is similar to the national book, there are also a few Hu Wen scrolls." Zhu Di said slowly: "I have ordered the people from Honglu Temple to translate those scrolls. These are some books introducing the countries of the Western Regions."

"The countries of the Western Regions?" Xie Jin said: "Long live, isn't it the Holy Roman Empire? Could it be that there are many foreign countries around them?"

"Bachelor Xie, you don't know something!" After all, Zhu Song is a descendant, and he still has a little understanding of the Holy Roman Empire. He said: "This so-called empire is actually a union of many small countries. big country."

"Isn't that similar to our ancient China?" Xie Jin was surprised: "It's just who will be the emperor of this empire? Could it be that the kings of these small countries take turns?"

"Almost!" Zhu Song put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth and said: "A certain emperor of the Holy Roman Empire once issued a golden seal edict, which confirmed seven electors. These seven electors It is used to elect the emperor."

"Isn't their power as great as the sky?" Zhu Wei said with some disbelief: "I don't believe that these seven emperor electors can just be emperor electors with peace of mind and don't covet the emperor's position. .”

Chapter 423 Go to meet them for a while

"Of course they won't just wait so stupidly for the election of the emperor." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "Besides, those emperor electors are also the kings of the kingdoms in the Western Regions, and they also have the right to be elected."

"That's it!" Zhu Wei nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "No, how do you know this?"

"Uh..." Zhu Song was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "Little brother, this is also hearsay, hearsay."

"I still remember so clearly from hearsay, your memory is really good enough." Zhu Huan may believe Zhu Song's words, but Zhu Di doesn't believe Zhu Song's nonsense, "Okay, let's talk about your opinions."

"What do you think? Since they are willing to come, then come." Zhu Song said indifferently: "Besides, Brother Four, since the Holy Roman Empire is here to establish diplomatic relations, it can't come empty-handed, right?"

"You boy, anything can be linked to interests." Zhu Di gave Zhu Song an angry look and said.

"That's it!" Zhu Song said slowly: "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Judging from the temperament of the people from the Western Regions in our Nanjing city, they will definitely bring a lot of rare treasures to us. Daming, to show the wealth and power of their country, lest our Ming Dynasty look down on them!"

"Hearing what you said, it's really possible for them to do this." Zhu Di rubbed his chin and said, "Well, the envoys of the Holy Roman Empire are still in our city of Nanjing, so go and get in touch with them first. What they mean, we will make plans when the Holy Roman Empire sends another envoy to clarify."

"Brother Sihuang, my brother just came back to rest for half a month, can't you let me rest for two more days?" Hearing Zhu Di's order, Zhu Song immediately started calling Tianqu, "Besides, my brother is a newlywed... …right?"

Seeing Zhu Song's aggrieved expression, Zhu Di laughed: "You boy, if you want to rest for two more days, just say it, why use the wedding as an excuse. Alright, I'll leave this matter to you, yes Now, let’s go with the prince! What’s the matter, you two discuss it, don’t bother me.”

Zhu Song curled his lips, and said rather reluctantly: "Your brother obeys the order!"

……

In the Xicheng District of Nanjing City, those special envoys from the Western Regions and businessmen from the Western Regions all lived here.

"Uncle Songhuang, I heard that some people from the Western Regions have blond hair and blue eyes, and they look like evil spirits. Are we really going to meet these ghosts?" Prince Zhu Gaochi touched his chubby belly, seeming to complain.

"What is a ghost?" On the carriage, Zhu Song wore a cool shirt and said, "They all have one nose, two eyes, two arms and two legs. Can they grow wings?"

"Oh, I don't know what my father thought, what did I ask my nephew to do?" Zhu Gaochi was a little reluctant.

"You think I want to go?" Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said, "However, don't think that the Holy Roman Empire is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, but they have their own culture. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and win a hundred battles without danger. What if the Holy Roman Empire becomes an enemy of our Ming Dynasty in the future?"

"Do they dare?" Don't look at Zhu Gaochi's fat, but in fact this guy is also very bloody, but one, he is the prince, and Zhu Di doesn't want him to go out to fight and risk easily; these two are about force He really can't be compared with Zhu Gaosui when it comes to deploying troops.

"What dare you?" Zhu Song grinned and said, "Back then, Kublai Khan drove all his cavalry into Eastern Europe. Why couldn't these people from the Holy Roman Empire come to invade our Daming?"

"I'm afraid they won't succeed, so let them all stay in our Daming when they come!" Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't believe that these foreign devils dared to provoke Daming.

"My lord, we're here." Just when Zhu Song was about to say a few more words, Huang San's voice came in from outside.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter later, let's meet the envoy of the Holy Roman Empire first." Zhu Song opened the curtain and got out of the carriage while talking.

The carriage was parked outside a building with an obvious Eastern European style.

This building is similar to a small castle in Eastern Europe, with a dome and a square wall, with three floors above and below. A plaque is hung above the main entrance. The plaque reads 'Bohemian City', with Chinese characters on the top and weird foreign characters below the Chinese characters.

Several tall men, blond and blue-eyed, with sunken eye sockets, the Hu people in Hu clothes had already waited in front of this building. Seeing Zhu Song and Zhu Gaosui getting off the carriage one after another, they hurried forward and saluted in blunt Chinese. Said: "Foreign Envoy Jones has met His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the two Highnesses bow to you!"

"Foreign envoys are exempt from courtesy." Zhu Song waved his hands and said, "Foreign envoys are too polite, but they even went out to greet them."

Jones still looked respectful, but it was awkward to say these words: "My lord, you are an envoy from the heavens, and you are also the prince of the heavens. It is natural for an envoy to greet you when you are abroad."

There were obviously two people before the carriage, a prince and a prince. Jones only cared about Zhu Song's status, but didn't mention the prince at all. Isn't this trying to provoke the relationship between Zhu Song and Zhu Gaochi?

Zhu Gaochi is not stupid either, he can naturally figure out that what Jones said meant to sow discord.

"Hmph!" Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly, and said, "The foreign envoy is really polite! But, it's getting late now, since you've waited outside enough, why don't you go in and talk?"

"Go in." Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Gaochi, turned around and entered the 'City of Bohemia' without saying anything else.

In the lobby on the second floor, the guests and hosts were seated separately, and their own servants brought melon and fruit snacks and refreshments.

"Jones, I heard that the Holy Roman Empire is divided into many small kingdoms, and the king of each small kingdom is expected to be elected emperor of your empire. Who is the current emperor?" Zhu Song asked after taking a sip of tea. .

Jones said: "So that His Royal Highness King Han will know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is the King of our Kingdom of Bohemia, Wenceslas IV, also known as Wenzel I."

"Isn't that right?" Zhu Song sneered, and said, "According to the information I have received, although Wenceslas IV has been elected as the monarch of the Holy Roman Empire, he has not been crowned emperor, right?"

Jones' complexion changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know where the prince got this news? Your Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is His Majesty Wenceslas IV, and we are also the 'King of the Roman People'!"

"It's all about deceiving yourself." Zhu Gaochi sneered, and said, "Since what the crown prince Song Huangshu said, it must be the truth. How could it be wrong? You are so dishonest, in front of the prince and Song Huangshu. In front of you, you dare to lie and deceive each other, do you really think we are easy to deceive?"

Jones fell silent when he heard this, his face changed continuously, from white to blue, from green to black, and from black to purple.

"Yes, His Highness King Han is right, the envoy is wrong." Jones gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words, "However, the internal affairs of our Holy Roman Empire are indeed His Majesty is in charge."

"Hmph, I should have said that earlier." Zhu Gaochi said disdainfully: "After a long time, your so-called empire has never had an emperor, and you have the audacity to... well, whatever you say is what you say."

Jones did not respond to Zhu Gaochi's words, but said to Zhu Song: "The foreign envoy is very curious, how could His Highness the King of Han know about our Holy Roman Empire in such detail?"

Zhu Song shook his head and said: "This king just got these by chance. At that time, Julius Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire founded the Roman Empire. After that, the Roman Empire split into Eastern Rome and Xiluoma for a long time, but now the Western Rome should have Are you dead? Calculated in this way, you can be regarded as Eastern Rome!"
