My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 684 Statue and White Camel
On the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Zhanhe held a banquet in the main hall of Zhan Shifu to entertain the envoys from the Three Kingdoms.

Zhu Zhanhe sat on the main seat, accompanied by Li Qi and other officials of Zhan Shifu. Opposite were people from the three missions. Moreover, Li Qi specially arranged the Timur mission in the middle, and the Black Sheep mission on the left. , on the right is the Ottoman mission.

Caught between two old enemies, Bei Sunhu and Huo Zhe didn't look very good, but they were under the eaves and they couldn't keep their heads down.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhu Zhanhe also raised his glasses and expressed his gratitude to the envoys from the three countries. The envoys from the three countries also stood up and expressed their admiration to the big man. On the surface, it seemed very harmonious.

But after three rounds of drinking, the Ottoman envoy Mufas suddenly stood up and said: "Your Highness, you rejected our deal last time. Afterwards, I discussed it with the Black Sheep envoy and came up with a new deal plan!"

"Oh? Envoy Mufas, you haven't given up yet, and you're actually dragging Envoy Black Sheep along with you?"

Zhu Zhanhe also looked at him in surprise when he heard this, and then turned to look at Black Sheep Envoy Jahan Shah.

Jahan Shah also stood up at this time. He first smiled proudly at Besun next to him, and then said: "Your Highness, after discussing with Mufas, I feel that our bargaining chip is indeed too light. , is not enough to express our sincerity, so our two countries want to put their chips together and exchange Ulugh Beg!"

"Presumptuous, my eldest brother is not a slave, how can you just buy it if you want?"

When Besun suddenly heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately slapped the table and stood up and yelled angrily.

"Beisunhu, this is the Xijing of the Han Dynasty, not your Samarkand. His Highness the Crown Prince has not expressed his position yet, so why are you so wild?"

Seeing Besun suddenly angry, Jahansha glanced at him and said lightly.

"That is, you people from the Timur Empire are used to being overbearing. This is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

Mufas was also making sarcastic remarks at this time.

"you……"

Beisunhu was good at military affairs, but he was not very good at speaking. He was speechless after being scolded by the two envoys. He wanted to refute but was unable to say anything to refute.

"Your Highness, Ulugh Beg is the eldest son of our Sultan, and his status is equal to yours. If he is sold as a slave, it will be an offense to you!"

At this time, the fireman on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to help Bei Sunhu clear the way, and by the way, he also pulled Zhu Zhanhe into the water.

"That's nonsense. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status. How can it be compared to that of a prisoner of war?"

This kid Mufas was full of bad intentions and spoke very rudely. He mentioned that Uluru was either a prisoner of war or a slave. In any case, he was trying to bury the Timur Empire in some way.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe finally stopped him. Although the envoys from the Three Kingdoms were not convinced, they could only sit back in their seats.

I saw Zhu Zhanhe glance at the Three Kingdoms envoys, and then slowly said: "Everyone has come to Dahan for their own purposes, and we will try our best to satisfy your requests. Of course, if your purposes conflict, Then let’s see who is more sincere.”

When Zhu Zhanhe mentioned the word "sincerity", he specifically glanced at Bei Sunhu and Huo Zhe.

Mufas and Jahan Shah were both overjoyed because they felt that their sincerity was enough. After all, both countries had brought a lot of beautiful women and property. Now that the two countries combined these things and exchanged them for one Ulugh Beg, it should be enough. .

"His Royal Highness, we come here with enough sincerity, and I have specially prepared a gift for His Highness, which is just outside the main hall. We also ask His Highness to allow us to carry it in!"

Mufas stood up again and said. "Envoy Mufas is welcome!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled slightly when he heard this, and then signaled the guards of the hall to let him go.

Soon I saw two teams of people walking in carrying a heavy box. The box was about two people high. The contents inside were obviously very heavy, and it was very difficult for more than a dozen people to carry it.

Finally, he finally placed the box in the middle of the hall. Mufas waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to open the box.

Zhu Zhanhe also looked curiously, and saw that after the box was opened, there was a standing statue inside. The statue was a young woman wearing snake armor, with a spear in her right hand, a shield in her left hand, and a helmet on her head. She looked resolute, as if she was a female warrior who had just come off the battlefield.

“The Greek statue of Athena!”

Zhu Zhanhe looked at this statue and immediately recognized the other person's identity. This was the famous female war goddess Athena in ancient Greek mythology. After all, he had watched "Saint Seiya" when he was a child, and he was very interested in Athens. The image of Na is all too familiar.

"His Royal Highness is so knowledgeable that he recognized this at a glance as the ancient Greek goddess of war, Athena!"

When Mufas heard Zhu Zhanhe call out the name of the statue, he couldn't help but said with conviction.

If this statue were placed in Europe, many people might be able to recognize Athena's identity, but the Han people are far away in Tianzhu, and the Han people are from the even more distant Ming Dynasty. They can actually recognize Athena at a glance. This is very surprising. Surprised.

“It’s so beautiful. I’ve long heard that the statues in ancient Greece are beautiful, and it’s true when I see them today!”

Zhu Zhanhe looked at this exquisite statue and couldn't help but admire it.

"Your Highness, we have also prepared a gift for you!"

At this time, Jahansha saw Zhu Zhanhe praising the Ottoman Empire's gift, and he also stood up and said.

Although the two countries temporarily reached cooperation on the exchange of Ulugh Beg, Jahan Shah did not allow Mufas to overshadow him when it came to being in the limelight.

"Oh? I wonder what gifts you have prepared for Ambassador Jahan Shah?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again with interest.

The gifts prepared by the Black Sheep Dynasty were also relatively large, and someone quickly brought the gifts in.

Yes, it was indeed "led" because the gift prepared by the Black Sheep Dynasty turned out to be a camel, a pure white camel to be precise.

In the eyes of the Mongolians, the white camel is almost the embodiment of auspiciousness. It is said that Genghis Khan owned a white camel. With the Mongolian expedition to the east, this concept also spread to Central Asia and West Asia, so the white camel is also regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness. This kind of auspiciousness is just like the "long-necked unicorn" that Zheng He brought back from Africa last time. It is something that even money cannot buy.

Zhu Zhanhe is not very fond of white camels. In his opinion, they are just the product of a genetic mutation. Except for the color of their fur, they are no different from ordinary camels.

However, in order to save the face of the Black Sheep Dynasty, he also praised a few words against his will.

"Your Highness, a broken stone and an animal are nothing at all. The gifts we have prepared are the real treasures!"

At this moment, Bei Sunhu, who had been silent all this time, finally stood up and said loudly.
