There was a strong interest in the eyes of the Dashi woman. It seemed that after this person appeared, he was taking the lead in the scene, and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty also obeyed his words?
Zhao Chen walked towards the foreign envoys again and said with a smile: "Everyone, a little accident happened just now. Now that the accident has passed, I, the Tang Dynasty, are hosting a banquet for you all. This World Expo has not kicked off yet. Everyone, please come with me. "
The translator from Honglu Temple repeated what Zhao Chen said, and the foreign envoys nodded and saluted, with Zhao Chen in front and the foreign envoys behind, following him out of the tower.
After the military parade, the entire Expo Park was officially opened. In fact, although it is considered a park, all the buildings inside can be used for other purposes in the future.
Soon, Zhao Chen led these foreign envoys directly to a banquet hall. The living room was very large, and everyone could sit down. He clapped his hands, and the maids who were ready brought out various dishes prepared by the kitchen. Grow food.
"Everyone, your Majesty is busy with government affairs. As for the next matter, I will temporarily handle it on your behalf."
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "You guys eat first."
The big-eating woman's eyes flickered to Zhao Chen: "May I ask, what is your position in the Tang Dynasty?"
After the translator finished speaking, Zhao Chen laughed loudly: "I don't have any position in the Tang Dynasty. I am the consort of the Tang Dynasty. Where are you from?"
"I, I am from Medina, have you heard of it?"
Zhao Chen stopped holding the wine glass in his hand and looked at the veiled woman.
"what's your name?"
The big-eating woman smiled: "My name is Alyssa Abu Bakr, have you heard of me?"
Zhao Chen searched for this name in his mind. He had never heard of it, but suddenly asked: "Who are you, Abu Bakr?"
"He is my father."
Good guy!
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, a big shot really came here.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were three extremely powerful empires in the world, one was the Tang Dynasty, the other was Tubo, and the other was Dashi.
"Dashi" is what the Tang Dynasty called it, but if it is called the Western name, it is usually called the Caliphate Empire. If it is called the more familiar name now, it is called the Arab Empire.
If it is called religion, then the religion that is the source of harm to the world, the Muslim religion, can also refer to it.
This empire was actually more exaggerated than the Tang Dynasty. At its most powerful, it covered an area of ??more than 13 million square kilometers, spanning the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa. It existed for more than 600 years at the same time, and was even more powerful than the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty also had a collision with Dashi, but that was already in the later years of the Tang Dynasty. Before the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the Tang Dynasty's army fought against the black-clad Dashi once in Central Asia. Unfortunately, they lost that battle. The Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Tang Dynasty empire declined in strength and lost control of the Western Regions.
And this woman's father was the first caliph. If Zhao Chen remembers correctly, the current time is when the second caliph of the Dashi Empire just took office, and the Arab Empire has already conquered Byzantium and occupied the capital of Syria. Damascus.
Various information flashed through Zhao Chen¡¯s mind, and Zhao Chen smiled slightly: ¡°I¡¯ve heard about his name for a long time, maybe we can have a long chat later.¡±
"Of course, I also have this idea."
Seeing that the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty and the food envoy were so speculative, the other foreign envoys could not restrain themselves and introduced themselves one after another.
The envoy of Gaochang Kingdom stood up: "Hello, my consort, I am Ju Huawu, the envoy of Gaochang Kingdom. I have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and my king specially sent me to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "I have also admired the name of Gaochang Kingdom for a long time. By the way, how is your relationship with the Western Turks recently?"
Historically, Gaochang State has been wavering since Ju Wentai came to Beijing in the third year of Zhenguan. Later, it turned to the Western Turks and relied on the Western Turks. It also repeatedly opposed the Tang Dynasty, such as detaining goods shipped to the Tang Dynasty from various countries in the Western Regions. Blocked the countries in the Western Region from visiting the Tang Dynasty.
Because Gaochang is located on the main transportation route of the Western Regions, and Gaochang is so stuck, there is nothing the countries in the Western Regions can do.
When Zhao Chen asked this question, the envoy looked a little embarrassed and just smiled: "I, Gaochang, am still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Chen smiled and met the other envoys one by one.
The envoy from Goguryeo also came, Zhao Chen nodded, and he was considered to have met him, and then there was the Khitan. At present, the Khitan was only a very small tribe, and it was still in the honeymoon period with the Tang Dynasty. When Wu Zetian came to the throne, the Khitan destroyed the Tang Dynasty one after another. With an army of 200,000, the Tang Dynasty would not have been able to defeat the Khitan if it had not been stabbed in the back.
The people of Silla and Baekje are naturally the sameWell, there are some remote and small countries. Zhao Chen doesn't need to remember them. The most important countries are Goguryeo.
After the brief introduction, Zhao Chen said: "Actually, the reason for inviting everyone here this time is because we in the Tang Dynasty have a heart that loves peace."
After hearing this sentence, the Goguryeo envoy choked directly.
"Oh? Messenger Jin, do you have any dissatisfaction with my consort's words?"
Zhao Chen looked at the Goguryeo envoy with a smile.
"No no."
The Goguryeo envoy quickly shook his head.
Zhao Chen smiled: "If there is, you must say it. If there is no, don't do this kind of behavior again."
The rest of the small countries in Tuyuhun also remained silent. The Tang Dynasty loved peace, so just listen to these words. To defeat the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks, and Tuyuhun was just short of breaking through Asia. Does it still love peace?
But no one takes it seriously. From ancient times to the present, it has always been a world where the strong are respected.
Zhao Chen's focus is not here, but he directly said: "We, Datang, are preparing to implement the One Belt, One Road policy. This policy is to develop commerce and circulate all the commodities of our Datang, as well as those of other countries. , so as to achieve commodity exchange and benefit each other. And this road is from Silla in the east and to Dashi in the west. On this line, Datang is planning to build it into a commercial route. "
Zhao Chen said that all the countries here are interested in each other. This policy is indeed very good. Every country can participate and profit from it.
Zhao Chen continued: "Especially countries with special products can sign special trade treaties with Datang and even be exempted from some tariffs."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those messengers were all bright.
Someone asked: "Consort, what about Datang's products? Can they be put on sale?"
"Of course, our goods from the Tang Dynasty can be put on sale, such as silk products, porcelain, and some handicrafts. Even new inventions and crops from the Tang Dynasty can also be sold together."
Many envoys were already short of breath, especially envoys from some countries in the Western Regions, who were greatly moved.
This is really good news! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
