my wife is mulan

The envoys were led by the eunuchs to sit at the designated positions in the banquet hall. In the corner of the banquet hall, court musicians were playing, but the sound was not loud. The envoys could discuss with each other and hear each other's voices clearly .

"Jun Suiyang is here—" followed by the eunuch's shout.

Wan Yutong came in wearing a fine attire, and two maids held her long skirt behind her. Envoys from various countries who knew her got up and saluted her. Wan Yutong nodded as he walked.

Few people in the world knew about Wan Yutong's true identity, but everyone never mentioned it. No one dared to do something that violated taboos. Even the important court officials didn't want to touch Zhao Junsheng's misfortune.

Wan Yutong's position is above the imperial steps, on the right side of the male and female protagonists. In fact, she is not very willing to attend this kind of banquet. The reason why she came is to learn more about the Western Regions. Today The protagonists of the banquet are the Prince of Persia and Prince Yanda, who obviously know a lot about Western affairs.

Wan Yutong asked the maid next to him for a cup of hot water before drinking it, and then Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan came.

With the eunuch shouting: "Your Majesty and Empress Empress have arrived—"

Several accompanying officials and envoys from various countries stood up and saluted, and Wan Yutong also stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Sister!"

Hua Mulan walked over and took Wan Yutong's hand and said with a smile: "I was worried just now that you would not come. Although this kind of banquet is not very fun, you can have a lot of fun just listening to their gossip!"

Zhao Junsheng pressed his hand: "Everyone is welcome, take your seats!"

The important ministers and the envoys from various countries thanked each other for taking their seats, and Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong also took their seats.

Zhao Junsheng said to everyone: "Today's banquet is mainly for the Persian prince Perus and Prince Wen He who have just arrived in Chang'an. I like the gifts they gave me very much! As for the other envoys, You are also guests. Compared with Prince Persia and Prince Nada, you are old guests. Some of you have lived here for several years, and the shortest is more than half a year. I think I need to communicate with you more. In the future, the royal family will be regular. To hold a banquet of this nature, I hope that everyone will come to attend! Come, let’s serve wine and food!”

The dishes are carefully cooked by the royal chefs in the imperial dining room. They are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, and people's appetite will be whetted at the first glance. The famous Persian prince Belus and the annoying prince Wen He swallowed their saliva.

As plates of exquisite dishes were served on the table, the envoys were eager to try one by one.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I think some people can't wait, they must be hungry! Come on, everyone, let's toast together and toast Prince Belus of Persia and Prince Wen He of Yanda first, and cleanse them up!"

The envoys picked up the wine cups and drank it down one after another. The envoys who drank the royal wine were already prepared in their hearts, but the faces of Belus and Wen He who had not drank a glass of wine instantly became pale. It was red, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Ahem...cough cough...this wine...it's too strong!" Bellus said.

The envoys from all countries laughed.

"Come, eat vegetables!" Zhao Junsheng greeted the envoys from various countries with a smile.

After drinking several times, the envoys from various countries at the banquet talked more, and those who sat near each other chatted with each other.

At this time, the envoy of the Ministry of Wei asked loudly: "Prince Belus, I heard that the west of Persia is the Great Qin Kingdom, so what is the Great Qin Kingdom like? How is your relationship with the Great Qin Kingdom?"

After the interpreter translated the words of the envoys from the Shiwei Ministry, Belus said: "The people of the Great Qin State call themselves Romans, and they call their country the Roman Empire, but the current Roman Empire has been divided into two parts more than 50 years ago. The Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire each have an emperor!"

Another envoy asked: "What is the name of their respective emperors? Can you tell me?"

Belus laughed and said: "What can't you say? Names are called by people. In the West, anyone can be called by any name. But for people with status, they must be called with respect! Now the Eastern Roman Empire The emperor was called Theodosius, because his grandfather was also called Theodosius, so his grandfather was called Theodosius I, and he was called Theodosius II! The emperor of the Western Roman Empire Called Valentinian III, the emperor has no right now, and the Western Roman Empire is regented by his mother Gala Placidia!"

"The relationship between our Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire, especially the Eastern Roman Empire, has been up and down, because the two countries have always had territorial disputes, and military conflicts often occur on the border, but sometimes they sign ceasefire agreements!"

The envoy of Wuluohou asked: "Have you fought against the Eastern Roman Empire recently?"

Bruce replied, "There hasn't been a war in nearly 20 years!"

"why?"

"Because the Eastern Roman Empire is busy responding to the attack of the Huns in the north, they don't have the extra energy to fight our Sasanian Empire!"

Zhao Junsheng quickly asked: "Who are the Huns in the north you mentioned? Are they barbarians?"

Belus turned to face Zhao Junsheng and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! The Huns in the north are a powerful barbaric tribe. Our Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire have jointly defended against the invasion of the Huns in the Caucasus region several times! It is said that the Huns migrated from the grasslands of the northern plateau in the east. During the migration process, they developed and annexed the tribes along the way for 200 years. Once they reached the northern grasslands in the west, they were unstoppable. Many people lived on the northern grasslands in the west. The Germanic barbaric tribes were defeated by them one by one. Now the king of the Huns is called Attila. He is the most powerful king in the history of the Huns. The Romans called him the Whip of God! He brought destruction and peace to the western world. Endless disaster!"

Chapter 850 Banquet Disturbance (2)

"Speaking of which, Attila, the whip of God called by the Romans, should be about the same age as His Majesty the Emperor. He may be two or three years older. He also has a huge empire. In the Western world, especially It was the Romans who trembled at his name!"

"However, many Germanic tribes in the northern grasslands like Attila very much. They call Attila a generous and noble ally. They are willing to submit and serve him. Attila's command! After the victory, Attila will generously distribute the spoils to the tribes participating in the battle!"

Wan Yutong was obviously very interested in this "God's Whip" Attila, and asked: "Could the Huns you are talking about be the Huns on our northern grasslands? One of them moved westward about 300 years ago. Already!"

The Prince of Persia said: "I think it should be, the Huns should be the Huns! We Persians and Romans call the Yandas the White Huns, and those tribes of the Great Yuezhi (Guishuang Empire), they are the Red Huns ;Whether it is the Huns, the White Huns, or the Red Huns, they used to be the overlords of the grasslands in the northern part of the East! They all brought destruction and powerful damage to the Western world, so that the Western world feared them! Wherever they went Only destroy and kill, they never build!"

Prince Yanda Wen He looked at Belus with a cold face and said, "It's obvious that you have bad intentions in slandering us Yanda people. I think His Majesty the wise emperor will listen to your slander!"

"Your Majesty, when we Yanda people entered the river region, Tocharistan was torn apart at that time, and the increasingly powerful Sassanid Empire attacked them repeatedly. The Sogdian nobles of Tocharistan were willing to serve us as masters, but they did not They are willing to serve the Persians, because they understand that once the Persians control Tocharistan, they will never have a good life, so they are unwilling to be cows for the Persians. Under the rule of our disgusting people, Tocharistan The Sogdians are living very well now, they still farm their land and do their business, and we don’t interfere with it!”

Zhao Junsheng felt that these two people should not continue to quarrel. They are young and vigorous young men, and if they disagree with each other, they might fight. Today is the day when I hold a banquet to cleanse the dust for the two of you, everyone should be happy! Come, everyone, let’s have a drink together!"

The envoys of various countries are obviously more interested in Persia. After all, the level of civilization in Persia is much higher than that of Nada people. Where there is civilization, there are stories and topics.

The Baekje envoy asked: "Prince Belus, I heard that the precious sword you gave to His Majesty the Emperor was the saber of your ancestor Shapur II. It took three years to make it by the most famous and skilled blacksmith in Persia. Completed?"

Belus was very proud when he heard others talk about his ancestors, "Yes, Your Excellency! My ancestor Shapur II is a legend!"

Wan Yutong asked curiously, "Oh? Does he have any legendary stories?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Belus saw that everyone was looking at him, and his talkative ability came into play: "My ancestor Shapur II was the greatest statesman and military strategist of his time. Emperor of the Empire!"

Wan Yutong was surprised and said, "Your Highness is not joking, how can a person inherit the throne while still in the womb?"

Belus said: "But the fact is true. At that time, his father Hormizd was the emperor of Persia, but he was weak and incompetent. He was repeatedly defeated in the confrontation with Rome. The Persian nobles rebelled and killed him in the east. He died, and then killed the eldest prince, stabbed the second prince's eyes, and imprisoned the third prince. Shapur II was not born at that time. He was the posthumous son of Emperor Hormizd and the sole heir of the Sasanian dynasty. In desperation, the ministers covered his mother's belly with the crown symbolizing the supremacy of the Persian Empire, and he became emperor in this way!"

Someone asked: "He was not born at that time, who knows whether he is a man or a woman? If he was born a woman, I'm afraid I can't be an emperor!"

Belus spread his hands: "This is the legend. He was born as a boy. The Persian subjects were full of joy and celebrated with singing and dancing for three days and three nights! When he was a child, her mother and ministers were in charge of state affairs. When he grows up , He really lived up to expectations and showed outstanding political and military talents. He defeated the Roman Empire several times, causing the Roman Empire to suffer heavy losses, and commanded the army in the battle to kill the Roman Emperor Julian. Attack the Guishuang Empire, all the way to Congling!"

Hua Mulan asked: "Since there is Shapur II, is there Shapur I?"

Belus smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty! Shapur I is the second emperor of my Sasanian dynasty. The founding emperor Ardashir overthrew the Parthian Empire and inherited all its territories. He is known as the king of kings. King! Shapur I developed and expanded the Sasanian Dynasty and expanded its territory. He is known as the King of Kings! The cavalry he sent encountered the Roman Empire’s eastward expansion army in Asia Minor. That battle separated the Sassanian Dynasty and the Roman Empire. The prologue of the war, this dozen lasted more than two hundred years! He captured the Roman emperor Valerian in a battle, which shocked the Roman Empire. He killed Valerian, peeled off his skin, and filled it with Straws hung over the city, scaring the Romans from going east for many years!"

Hua Mulan frowned and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to do this. Either kill him; release him or imprison him. How can you insult an emperor like this?"

Belus explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Romans have always regarded themselves very high and looked down on people from other countries or tribes, so anyone who defeated the Romans would insult them and trample their dignity under their feet, so that they Only then will I put down my posture and have an equal dialogue with the enemy!"

The tired Prince Wen He saw that everyone was paying attention to Belus, and that all the limelight was taken away by Belus, he couldn't help but sneered: "It seems that these achievements are all made by you. The great glory is also a thing of the past!"

Belus was annoyed and counterattacked: "My ancestors have glory, what about your ancestors? I heard that your ancestors used to be just low-class people who grazed horses for their masters!"

Wen He was furious, "You insult my ancestors, I want to fight you!"

After all, Wen He said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I can't stand Belus insulting my ancestors no matter what. Please allow me to duel with him!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Third Prince, this doesn't seem right. You are all my guests, so it's really not right to draw swords against each other on this festive day! If there is something wrong with either of you, how can I complain to your father?" What about the king?"

"No, I must fight him! This is the rule of our disgusting people"

Zhao Junsheng's face was a little ugly, this Wen He is too messed up, you don't even look at the occasion if you want to play tricks, this is the palace where I work hard, not the place where you hate people!
