    Fang Jifan had always known Zhu Houzhao's temper, and after some comfort, Zhu Houzhao's anger subsided.

    At this time, Liu Jin came in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, the Ottoman envoy Abrahim, whose Chinese name is Zhao Sande, has an audience."

    Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan, and at the same time pulled up his face and said, "Call in."

    Not long after, Zhao Sande came.

    Zhao Sande is a Serbian. He entered the Ottoman court at a young age and has always been Suleiman's bodyguard. When Suleiman ascended the throne, he promoted Sinology. Zhao Sande was a treasure for Confucianism. His attainments in Sinology were extremely profound.  Naturally, he was deeply trusted by Suleiman. This time he was sent as an envoy not only to make good friends with the Ming Dynasty, but also to inquire about the Ming Dynasty.

    There are many people like Zhao Sande in Ottoman.

    Their common characteristic is that most of them belong to Serbia, Algeria, Greece, and Bulgaria. Their original religion was suppressed by the Ottomans, but at the same time, because of the Ottoman balance of power, they often had the opportunity to enter the Ottoman court.  , gain trust.

    Such a group of people are in a subordinate position to the conquered in terms of culture and religion. They are often painful and anxious. The emergence of Confucianism has made these conquered people realize that Confucianism has an embarrassing impact on their origins.  , has great benefits. The idea of ??great unity dilutes their alien identity, and the study of benevolence allows them to master Confucianism, thereby creating a sense of superiority over the past conquerors in the name of official orthodoxy, and establishing a  The orthodox bureaucracy selects officials through imperial examinations, which allows them to receive fair treatment.

    Coupled with the strong support of Emperor Suleiman and the fact that Confucianism has a set of concepts that are acceptable to people after being tempered for thousands of times, it is natural that people like Zhao Sande can be said to be a treasure. They are obsessed with Confucianism and talk to Confucian scholars every day.  We talked about the past and the present, learned Chinese characters, and practiced calligraphy.

    The reason why people are different is to distinguish themselves from others.

    In the past, Zhao Sande was the one who was distinguished by others, becausehe himself was the conquered. The conquerors brought their native religion and civilization with them, and despised and insulted them.

    But now after learning Chinese characters and reading the Four Books and Five Classics, people like Zhao Sande have become spiritually superior, and they have begun to despise those who do not know how to educate.

    Zhao Sande came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and was amazed by the civilization here. He met more great Confucians, visited everywhere for advice, and at the same time visited ancient Confucian books and ordered people to bring them back to the Ottomans.

    He even reported to Suleiman that the name Osman was not enough to show that Osman admired Confucianism. In the Central Plains, the Confucian scholars here respected the Song Dynasty the most. Osman should continue the legal system of the Song Dynasty and take the name of the country as Song Dynasty.  Only in this way can we compete with the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, this memorial was obviously too radical, and then disappeared into the sea.

    "But Zhao Sande was not discouraged. He also looked at the laws and regulations of the Central Plains dynasties and reported them to Suleiman, believing that Confucian etiquette should be fully imitated.

    Suleiman seemed to be interested. This ambitious monarch also seemed to be interested in the cabinet system and finally responded.

    Zhao Sande was so inspired that he became more active in studying Sinology.

    When he entered the Fengtian Hall, he was wearing a Confucian robe. Although his hair was curly, he still combed his curly hair. After combing his golden hair, he pulled it into a bun and wore a square scarf on it.

    When he met Zhu Houzhao, he bowed down and said, "My minister, Zhao Sande, has met the Ming Emperor. Long live my emperor."

    Zhu Houzhao looked at him with a sullen face and said calmly: "How long has it been since you came to the capital?"

    "It's been one year and three months."

    Zhu Houzhao asked again: "What do the Qing family think of my Ming Dynasty?"

    "The country of etiquette is amazing!" Zhao Sande's Chinese has a Shandong flavor, and he doesn't know who he learned it from. Fang Jifan wanted to straighten his tongue when he heard this accent.

    Zhu Houzhao's expression finally became much gentler.

    But then I heard Zhao Sande say: "The new emperor has ascended the throne. As a foreign minister, we should celebrate. I, Osman, have good relations with the Ming Dynasty and are brothers. When my emperor heard that your majesty succeeded to the throne, he was also overjoyed and sent a congratulatory letter."  ."

    Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows when he heard about the kingdom of brothers.

    Buthe did let Osman take advantage once!

    Suleiman and Zhu Houzhao were called brothers before. At that time, they were all still princes, and now they are emperors. Suleiman has always been called a brother, butthis Ottoman occupies the west of the Western Region, covering an area ofMing Palace.

    As usual, he returned to the Ottoman embassy.

    In the past, all the envoys were at Honglu Temple.

    But as more and more envoys from various countries were sent to Beijing, and envoys began to stay permanently, the imperial court issued a decree ordering each country to purchase land and build diplomatic missions.

    This Ottoman embassy is the largest in scale. After all, Ottoman is a big country.

    When Zhao Sande arrived at his residence, he immediately closed the doors and windows and began to repair books.

    As an envoy, in addition to making good friends, you also have the task of spying.

    He took up his pen and compiled a memorial for Suleiman.

    This memorial is mostly based on his interview with the Ming Emperor. In the end, he put forward his own suggestions: I think the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is fond of great achievements, arrogant and unreasonable, and lacks etiquettefar inferior to Emperor Hongzhi and His MajestyGuo Zuo of the Ming Dynasty,  The danger is so high that your Majesty should make preparations early and wait for changes (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
