Chapter 808: Righteous Mission
Everyone arrived at the main hall of the palace, which was modeled after the style of the Han Palace.
Suleiman sat in front of the central high desk, while the guests and ministers sat cross-legged on either side. A variety of delicacies are served, including a variety of poultry and fish, as well as the wine they brew.
After Suleiman visited the Ming Dynasty, he also introduced a lot of Ming elements. Originally, Luzon did not use bowls and chopsticks, but at today's banquet, a pair is placed in front of everyone.
This move flattered Daming's side, but those princes and auxiliary ministers were embarrassed, and everyone stared at each other. Fortunately, looking at Chen Zhixiao, who looked elegant opposite, he reached out to grab the barbecue, and then he exhaled a light breath.
These princes and vassals faced the dishes, grasping the roasted meat in one hand and the others in their mouths with the other. Although it was found that Chen Zhixiao and others used dishes and chopsticks to deal with most of the dishes, since it was already a boat, everyone no longer took it seriously.
The food at this banquet was not very good, but the food that was not too fresh during the sea voyage was not too new, and everyone ate it with their stomachs open while watching the singing and dancing in the hall.
saw a beautiful woman dancing in the hall, which attracted the attention of Chen Zhixiao and the young people. If it weren't for the fact that this was the princess of Luzon, they would have been whistling.
Suleiman was originally worried that he would snub these distinguished guests, but when he looked at the tiger girl who was eating with relish, his hanging heart was also relaxed. At the same time, I watched the tiger girl eating quite interestingly, and found that this little girl who was concentrating on eating was very cute.
The tiger girl has a very good appetite and good teeth, and is biting into the roast lamb with relish. She suddenly noticed Suleiman's gaze, turned her head to look at it, and couldn't help but have a big question mark floating in her head.
"Our king wants to know why you have come from afar?" Yan Yi saw that everyone had almost eaten, nodded towards Suleiman's understanding, and then asked directly to the tiger girl.
Hu Niu was still eating a lamb chop, turned her head to look at Chen Zhixiao, Chen Zhixiao nodded slightly, and then looked at Suleiman and asked seriously: "I wonder if the king knows the current situation of Sha Yao and Na Bie?" ”
Suleiman and the others made a brief exchange, but honestly shook their heads and said, "I don't know what happened?" ”
"According to the latest news we have received from the Guangdong side, they are probably the same as the Manga thorns in the past, and they have been ...... The country is destroyed! Chen Zhixiao's face was solemn and he said seriously.
The country is destroyed!
If these three words are placed in Daming, they can definitely be regarded as jokes. But for the Nanyang countries, especially a small country like Luzon, it is really not a very unusual thing, and it has a great impact on these people.
Suleiman's face was shocked, knowing that Luzon's national strength was very weak, and once it was attacked by a foreign enemy, it would be easy to destroy the country, so he nervously asked: "Who killed Sha Yao and Na Bi Ge?" ”
"Evil Spaniards, a bunch of tall but ugly-looking Westerners!" Chen Zhixiao replied hatefully, and then added: "These Spaniards from the sea, they rely on big ships and heavy artillery, and they repeatedly do robber things!" These people once wanted to invade the Guangdong region of my Ming Dynasty, but what kind of national strength did my Ming Dynasty have, and they beat him to the ground, but they didn't expect that their gang did not flee far away, but repeatedly injured the countries of Nanyang! We learned that they often haunt the Nanyang countries, snatching spices such as peppercorns, and destroying the village, so it aroused the anger of our Lord Lin! ”
An auxiliary minister hurriedly said, "Isn't this the same group of merchants who appeared here a few months ago? When they came to us, they did look for peppercorns and other spices everywhere, but we didn't produce peppercorns here, but exchanged a lot of melons and poultry. ”
The others also nodded, and they did have some impressions of these Spaniards, but they did not expect that they would be such an evil force. I thought it was just ugly, but I didn't expect my heart to be even uglier.
Suleiman was already convinced, and asked calmly, "The envoy is here for the Spaniards?" ”
"Not bad!" Chen Zhixiao nodded affirmatively, and said seriously: "We, Lord Lin, bear the great trust of the emperor and trade with the countries of Nanyang, but these villains have already destroyed the peace of the entire Nanyang. Therefore, our lord would like to ask the countries of the South Seas to expel the Spaniards from their borders, to refuse to trade with them, and to cut them off from the sea. ”
Although I don't understand why Lord Lin wants to target the Spaniards so much, this is already the intention of their trip on the surface, this voyage is to unite the countries of the South Seas to expel the Spaniards and cut off economic and trade with them.
After hearing the request brought by this Ming envoy, Suleiman turned his head to look at Yan Yi and other auxiliary ministers, but these auxiliary ministers expressed their opinions, but their opinions did not form a unity.
It's not hard to understand that everyone thinks about their own interests. It is true that the Spaniards are devils, but if they provoke these devils in Luzon, they will most likely be retaliated against militarily.
If at that time, they Luzon will not be able to guarantee that they will become the next Manchurian Thorn country, or the same fate as Sha Yao and Na Bi Jie will destroy the country, this is something they have to weigh.
"This matter is very important, let this king think more about it, and then give a clear answer to the envoy, okay?" Suleiman was a clever man, and immediately chose to slow down the tactics, or consult with the ministers to come up with the best countermeasures.
"This is natural!" Chen Zhixiao smiled slightly, raised his glass and toasted Suleiman.
This time he went to Luzon, and he also got Lin Haoran's ear to mention the face, and it doesn't matter whether this matter is successful or not. As long as Suleiman and the princes and ministers were scared, their next plan would be easier to implement.
Although Chen Zhixiao has always considered himself smart, he has to admit it. That high-ranking Uncle Nian is a person he can only look up to forever, and his intelligence is far inferior to that Uncle Nian who is like Kong Ming's reincarnation.
Hu Niu did not forget the matter of the North Mountain Department, and immediately told about yesterday's incident, and asked Suleiman to exempt them from the North Mountain Department, or she paid it for them.
Su Leiman naturally gave this face, so he agreed, but the auxiliary minister in charge of tax collection next to him frowned slightly, looking like he wanted to say something.
After the banquet, Suleiman arranged for Hu Niu and others to live in a house next to the palace, and entertained the Ming delegation with the highest standard of etiquette.
It's just to settle people down, but they have to face this new problem, which is really not easy to offend on both sides.
