Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 376 Ye Tiaoguo’s envoy contacted and got the cotton.

"It's really good. I never thought that Zhao Qing was good at cooking." Fusu picked up a chopstick of stir-fried yellow beef and expressed his sincere praise.

"This boy knows how to eat. Now all the chefs in the palace come from Zhao Si." The First Emperor nodded.

Because of Zhao Si, the stiffness between the First Emperor and his son seemed to be much less severe.

Fusu was very curious about Zhao Si, and there were indeed many things about Zhao Si. Zhao Si became the focus of conversation between the First Emperor and his son.

Although the dialogue between the father and son was a bit stiff, they talked about many things around Zhao Si.

Grain garden, animal garden, magical amber, shipping and trade military palace, distant Ye Tiao country, magical and magnificent overseas...

Zhao Si seemed to be a lubricant, and the original stiffness changed.

After all, the father and son had not seen each other for many years.

Even though both of them are stubborn, the affection between father and son cannot be faked.

However, Fusu stayed up all night after all. After a morning, he could not hide his distress. The First Emperor noticed this and finally waved his hand to signal Fusu to leave.

"Step back and rest." The First Emperor said in a deep voice.

Fusu was really sleepy, so he didn't give any more excuses. He bowed and bowed to leave.

After Fusu left, Zhao Si naturally no longer stayed in the palace. Zhao Si still had many things to be busy with, such as going back to sleep and so on.

Although entering the palace is similar to going home for Zhao Si, he is not as comfortable in the palace as at home.

After Fusu and Zhao Si left one after another, the First Emperor was the only one left in the room.

Looking at the memorials piled up on the papers, the First Emperor was silent for a moment, then picked up the brush again and began to review official affairs.

But what can be seen is that the First Emperor's eyebrows are much more relaxed.

In the following days, everything went as usual. Fu Su's return to Xianyang caused a certain sensation, but it was nothing compared to the black ice platform going deep into the place to enforce the order to move the royal tomb.

The First Emperor issued an order, ordering all the noble families who were on the list of moving the royal mausoleum to start their journey within three months and arrive in Xianyang within six months. Heibingtai carried out the king's order and went to the place. Under the Sword began a slightly bloody migration process.

As the actual enforcers of the order to move the royal mausoleum, the names of Liu Bang, Lu Wan, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang began to be praised by people all over the world.

Of course, not a great reputation.

Holding the king's order, behead first and report later, the noble family used all means, including but not limited to brutality, bribery, collusion with the government, and resistance with force.

However, Liu Bang suppressed everything with iron-blooded methods.

Those who don’t follow will be killed!
The interference of the local government was ignored by Heibingtai.

The armed resistance organized by the nobles was like a mantis trying to control the chariot.

During this period, bloodshed occurred frequently, and Liu Bang gained a notorious reputation. Because of this, wherever Liu Bang's quartet went, noble families had no choice but to sell their properties and move.

Of course, because of Liu Bang's overly cruel methods, Heibingtai's reputation was not much better.

Regarding Dunwei, Liu Bang's quartet, and even the impeachment memorial at Heibingtai flew like snowflakes to the First Emperor's case.

Well, it’s not just the memorial to impeach Hei Bingtai.

Some people have already begun to impeach Li Si as the Right Prime Minister of Great Qin.

The right prime minister, the head of all officials!
And the Black Ice Platform, a violent institution that belongs exclusively to the imperial power, is undoubtedly a knife placed on the heads of all officials.

In order to complete the blueprint in his heart, Li Si deliberately condoned it. In other words, the reason why Black Ice Platform has today's evil reputation is all because of Li Si's push.

what does that mean?It means that there is a traitor among the officials, and this traitor is also the leader of the officials.

If I have to make an analogy...

It is probably equivalent to the chief minister of the cabinet during the Ming Dynasty taking the initiative to build Jinyiwei.

Li Si will, of course, be greatly implicated.

"Heibingtai is really notorious now, and there are a lot of discussions about Prime Minister Li in the court."

Inside the Hangmao Military Mansion, Zhao Si looked at Shusun Tong, the newly promoted second-in-command of the Hangmao Military Mansion, and said with a smile.

"How can anyone who achieves great things not be criticized?" Shusun Tong smiled.

Obviously, Shusun Tong had no objections to Black Ice Platform or even Li Si.

It has been some time since Shusun Tong was promoted to be the second in command of the Aviation Trade Army.

In fact, many Confucian disciples wrote a letter about the Black Ice Terrace. Shusun Tong was an outlier in Confucianism and did not write a letter. He even expressed his approval of the Black Ice Terrace to Zhao Si in private.

It is difficult to say whether he is sincere or not, but it is certain that if the First Emperor appointed Shusun Tong to be in charge of Black Ice Platform, Shusun Tong would definitely accept the order happily.

Shusun Tong has never been a corrupt Confucian. Compared with most Confucian disciples, Shusun Tong's bottom line is quite flexible.

"Ye Tiaoguo's envoys have been in Xianyang for five days now. When does Shang Qing plan to receive them?" Shusun Tong deceived Zhao Si's inquiry and brought up business.

The diplomacy with Ye Tiaoguo was taken over by the Aviation Trade Military Office. Ye Tiaoguo's envoy set out from Langya and arrived in Xianyang five days ago.

However, Zhao Si did not receive Ye Tiaoguo's envoys immediately, but left them alone for a few days.

Although the diplomatic strategy of making good friends with Ye Tiaoguo in the early stage has been determined after talking with Zou Feng, the good relationship does not mean that Ye Tiaoguo's previous provocations can be happily ignored, nor does it mean that Da Qin will have to do so because of this. And let go of your body.

"After five days of drying, it's almost enough..." Zhao Si pondered for a moment.

"lets go!"

Shusun Tong smiled and nodded, and he and Zhao Si headed towards the inn where Ye Tiaoguo's envoy lived.

The distance was not very far, and the carriages and horses were moving forward. In less than a moment, Zhao Si and Shusun Tong had arrived at the post station of Ye Tiaoguo's envoy.

There was a message from the soldiers stationed at the post, and within a few moments, all the 16-member envoys from Ye Tiaoguo who were envoys to Da Qin arrived.

Maha watched Zhao Si, who was tall and luxuriously dressed in front of him, salute lamely and said, "I've seen this Shangguan before!"

Maha and his party are considered to be senior intellectuals of Ye Tiaoguo. After the truce with Da Qin, Maha took charge of contacting Da Qin, so he also learned Chinese.

From the time he started contacting Da Qin to accepting the important task of sending Da Qin as an envoy, almost a year had passed. Ma Ha could be regarded as Ye Tiaoguo's Da Qin expert.It's just that after just one year, Maha's Daqin Mandarin is still poor, and he can't understand it if he speaks too fast.

As for the wording and grammar, there are also big problems.

But overall, there aren't many problems communicating.

"No need to salute. I am Zhao Si, the high minister of the Qin Dynasty, and also the leader of the Maojun Mansion. Which of you is the official envoy to the Qin Dynasty?" Zhao Si asked.

Maha briefly translated Zhao Si's words in his mind, and immediately realized the noble status of Zhao Si.

Ma Ha may not understand what Shangqing is, but he knows very well what the Aviation Trade Military Palace is.

The ships that fought against Ye Tiaoguo belonged to the Shipping and Trade Military Office. This was something Maha knew before coming to Da Qin.

"I am responsible for this mission to Da Qin." Mahafu saluted again.

Zhao Si nodded and looked at Maha in front of him. In fact, it could be seen that compared to others, Maha was obviously more pampered.

"You have come all the way from Ye Tiao Kingdom, are you acclimated to the local environment? Are the officials satisfied with your reception? Are the dishes here in line with your taste? Is it disrespectful to serve the slaves you live in? Is Da Qin's reception okay? Thoughtful?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.

Before Maha came, he had already made preparations for Da Qin's negotiators to launch an army to investigate. After all, it was Ye Tiaoguo who was provocative and was not allowed to meet him for five days. To be honest, Ye Tiaoguo's envoy was a little worried. Confused.

Now that Zhao Si came, the first thing he did was to ask them how they felt with a smile. Maha felt a little relieved, so he replied with a smile: "The environment here is beautiful, and the food is delicious. Da Qin's hospitality to us is It’s great, we don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

"Oh..." Zhao Si nodded.

"If this is the case, then why did Great Qin's ships come to Ye Tiaoguo's waters, but Ye Tiaoguo entertained Great Qin with weapons and bows and arrows? Great Qin pays attention to being a guest from afar and will never start a war without any reason. I asked privately , always picking fights without asking the reason. Is this the way Ye Tiaoguo treats guests? Does Ye Tiaoguo think that our Qin war is unfavorable?" Zhao Si restrained her smile, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Maha.

When Maha saw Zhao Si's sudden change of face and raised his troops to question him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On the way here, the Ye Diao delegation had seen with their own eyes the power of Great Qin.

Cities, roads, and soldiers are the most intuitive symbols that can reflect a country’s national strength.

This is definitely an empire that is more powerful and prosperous than the Mauryan Empire under the leadership of King Asoka, and it is definitely a country that Ye Tiao Kingdom must not provoke!
Not to mention, Maha also knew through understanding that the current Great Qin, under the leadership of the First Emperor, had just destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world.

The most frightening thing is that such a king who destroyed six countries and unified the world is still alive.

Compared with the Peacock Empire, which was already in its third generation, the war mobilization power of the Qin Dynasty, which had just unified the world, was unquestionable.

Maha would never doubt the terrifying power of a great empire whose unifying monarch still exists.

"This is Ye Tiaoguo's mistake, please allow me to defend it!" Maha swallowed his saliva and spoke softly.

"The king of your country dominates the world, and everyone from all over the world surrenders. However, the king of my country is not like this. It is difficult to effectively control the local princes. The king of Ye Tiao is my brother. Please believe what I say. I believe it." You must be able to understand that the king of Ye Tiao is not like the emperor of Qin who can command the four directions...

The nobles who went to war with Da Qin without permission have been executed by my brother. This is our sincerity. Ye Tiaoguo is willing to pay the price and regard Da Qin as his superior country. We sincerely ask Da Qin to forgive us for our mistakes. "Maha said sincerely.

This was something Maha had thought about along the way when he came here.

Shifting all responsibilities onto the nobles who were good at provocations, in order to absolve themselves of their own guilt, and then find a way to gain Da Qin's forgiveness.

"The dignity of the emperor cannot be offended. You are the brother of the king of Ye Tiaoguo. I believe you can understand this. In this case, can just an apology be solved? If you can't feel Ye Tiaoguo's Sincerely, Great Qin does not mind continuing to wage war with Ye Tiaoguo!" Zhao Si pressed forward step by step.

"We are willing to compensate for it to show our sincerity. I hope you can allow me to visit the emperor of Qin, so that I can confess my guilt to your emperor in person, explain our guilt, and show our sincerity." Maha heard the sound and spoke. .

"Obviously, I didn't see your sincerity!" Zhao Si glanced around and walked away, leaving only Shusuntong standing there.

Ye Tiaoguo's envoy also looked at each other, confused.

"Since you prepared a gift to win our Majesty's forgiveness, why didn't you prepare a gift for our superior? Is there any other way for you to meet our king?"

Shusun Tong looked at the Ye Tiaoguo envoy who looked at each other and said quietly.

Maha and the others were stunned when they heard this. Maha realized something and patted his head in annoyance.

"Thank you for your advice. Which superior officer are you?"

"Me? A Confucian disciple, Shusun Tong!" A gentle smile appeared on Shusun Tong's face.

Compared with Zhao Si's burly body, which was full of pressure, Shusun Tong looked much gentler.

One is a good person and the other is a bad person. This is something that was discussed before coming here.

Zhao Si showed power, while Shusun Tong showed virtue. As for the First Emperor, the First Emperor only needed to accept the apology from Ye Tiaoguo's envoy, and then stamp the next diplomatic regulations.

As for what diplomatic regulations can be obtained, it depends on Shu Suntong.

Zhao Si believed that Shusun Tong would definitely make them understand what Confucianism means to be a humble gentleman.

Zhao Si wants to plunder resources, and Zhao Si also wants to dump culture.

Military force can only conquer for a short time. If you want to spread the prestige of Qin Dynasty far and wide, culture is also a very important factor.

In this ascendant era, Ye Tiaoguo, which did not have its own native culture, was no match for Da Qin.

The only thing that barely deserves attention is the Mauryan Empire that ruled the entire Indian subcontinent.

Now the Buddhist Mauryan Empire has risen. Due to King Ashoka's vigorous promotion, not only the Indian subcontinent, but also the Buddhist culture in the Indonesian archipelago, which is closely related to the Indian subcontinent, has also begun to gradually become popular.

According to the course of history, Buddhism will sweep across the surrounding areas in a few hundred years, well...except for the Indian subcontinent. As the birthplace of Buddhism, Buddhism has completely disappeared.

Obviously, there is also a cultural battle to be fought.

To put it bluntly, even if the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, it will not be able to truly rule these areas, but future generations may not be able to do so.

As long as culture can influence places, it can be called ancient times.

Now, it is the most suitable era to establish an order unique to Da Qin.

Confucianism emphasizes teaching without distinction, so missionary work is not necessarily impossible.

Maha and others may not be wary of Shu Sun Tong, but Shu Sun Tong's rank is not something Maha can understand.

As for Zhao Si, Zhao Si finally got the cotton he had been longing for, and now he has gone to the grain garden.

(India is also the origin of cotton. I think it makes sense that Indonesia, an Indian subculture, has cotton.)
