Extra 5
The prince of Qi and the prince of Central Plains were both legitimate sons who were enthroned at birth.
No matter how long the King of Qi and Jin Shang fought for the dragon throne, no matter how different the identities of Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan, or even the earlier struggle between Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai, everything ended when Zhao Gou named his eldest son Zhao Guan as the crown prince and died young, and asked the young Zhao Guan to ascend the throne quickly.
The establishment of the legitimate and the chief instantly became the political correctness of the Song Dynasty and its vassal states. Zhao Song even used this as an excuse to interfere in Japan's internal political struggles.
After the Zhao Guan and Zhao Yuan brothers got married, they spent all day long in the 'harem' until the concubines were planted with seeds, and even had formal offspring, they breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no way. The descendants of Zhao Gou are too scarce.
When their brothers each have their own heirs and the heirs also have multiple spare tires, they can truly relax the string in their hearts.
After Zhao Guan's legitimate son landed, the baby was just over a month old and was named the crown prince. The legitimate son and the eldest son were not only to consolidate his political status, but also to consolidate his ruling foundation in etiquette and law.
Zhao Yuan followed suit even more, while imitating his elder brother, while on the other hand, he was also giving his knees to the mother and son in the imperial city.
Look, I am also a legitimate son, and I am definitely convinced by the legitimate son.
Less gossip.
Zhao Heng came to the dock to greet him, and the crowds in the fleet greeted him one after another. Some red hair and yellow hair were mixed in, which attracted Zhao Heng's attention.
You know, China has been opening up its sea route for some time, and white balls are not uncommon. But whether it is the white balls of Tianzhu, the white balls of Tianfang, or the small number of Byzantines who came, they are all black hair. At least all the white balls that Zhao Heng saw are black hair.
There are also a few people with brown or his hair, but they all exist in a small amount, and the time they appear is fragmented and it is not a common practice. How can we see so many "colorful" at once?
Fortunately, everyone has the same language.
European envoys understand Latin, and the latter is also a "second language" that must be taught in the same literary museums at all levels in the East.
This language originated from the Latinum region of Italy and became stronger with the expansion of the Roman Empire. Even after the separation of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, Greek became a common language in the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was still a second second only to Greek.
As for the Western European countries established on the bodies of the Western Roman Empire, as well as Central and Eastern European countries, Latin has always stood in the position of the "second language" and is unshakable.
Zhao Heng was very happy to have face-to-face direct communication with people from the West, because this allowed him to "inadvertently" receive a lot of first-hand news.
Although he did not care about the culture and art of Western countries, nor their military, political and economics, nor their beliefs, but was only interested in the history of these countries.
But in essence? He felt that he really knew a lot through conversations again and again.
These Western barbarians who believe in Nestorianism are really a group of ignorant barbarians. Even the nobles, their lives and survival are really unimaginable.
Of course, this is also very likely that he was fooled by the barbarians from the West in turn.
You can despise a country from a material perspective, but you cannot deny that there are smart people in any nation.
Just as China urgently needs an understanding of Western countries, why don’t Western countries want to have a deeper understanding of China?
You should know that whether it is the changes in the situation in Tianfang in recent years or the pressure the Nestorian world feels in the northeast, they are all uneasy.
In Fuzhou City, Zhao Yuan was enthusiastic about returning officials of the Song Dynasty and accompanying foreign envoys.
He was very concerned about the social, military, political, economic and other information of Western countries. But in essence, what was it? He was not anxious at all. The reason why he was very urgent was that he was just pretending to show it to outsiders.
From beginning to end, Zhao Yuan's eyes only looked at the east.
In recent years, with the exploration and development of the waters around Australia, Zhao Yuan did not focus on Australia, but took the opportunity to explore the South Pacific.
In addition, hidden strongholds were established on several islands, and the Central Island Chain (Hawaii) was discovered. The next step was to truly contact the Americas.
He was not interested in going to Europe to cause trouble.
Isn’t that more beautiful if he secretly goes to America to “expand territory”?
Who is the eldest brother from the north? His eyes have been staring at Nanyang, Tianzhu, Tianfang and the West over the years?
When the old man was there, the expedition fleet sent by one south and one north discovered a huge Australia to the south, and the north also had huge gains.
But the north is really too cold, whether it is facing east, west, or north, except for ice and snow.
Seeing that his elder brother had never continued to explore north since he ascended the throne, Zhao Yuan felt a hundred gratitude in his heart even after taking power.
This is the real big brother.
How to live your daily life? Zhao Yuan, who sat firmly on Diaoyutai, was not in a hurry at all. Looking at Wu, Chen and Xu's men jumping around in Fuzhou, he felt a sense of superiority in IQ.
Queen Han of Qi also didn't like to meet European envoys. Even on the way to the east, these envoys and their families had already received training in oriental etiquette, and even took a bath and changed their clothes before entering the palace, without any strange smell. However, the expressions and actions that those people inadvertently showed were still full of vulgarity in Han's eyes.
The Han family is also a big family of officials from generation to generation. The Han family has lived in an environment that attaches great importance to rules and etiquette since childhood. Now, it is naturally unappreciated by Western envoys.
In the original modern time and space, when it comes to etiquette and rules, it seems that the European aristocratic style is just a stature and superior.
But in fact, they are too rough compared to the complete court etiquette of the East. Not to mention the medieval era, an era in which European aristocrats all started to eat.
As for the other little princes and princesses in the palace, the only thing that interests them in the Nestorian world is a bunch of "weird-shaped" musical instruments. As for the gifts presented by envoys from Western countries, whether it is the prince or the princess or Zhao Yuan himself, it is only a few days before.
In fact, they saw too many good things.
The palace is not rare for Europeans, but there are differences among the people.
It is true that Zhao Yuan’s purpose is to go east, but this is an absolute top secret of the kingdom. It has never been heard of by ordinary people, and many people even stare at the west.
Qi is close to the Central Plains and is on the sea route from the Central Plains to the South Ocean. At first glance, the geographical location is not as good as Temasek, but just like what Zhao Yuan told the public when he sent Wang Cai to the west - is it a share of the pie?
During the more than ten days of the fleet staying in Fuzhou Bay, the whole of Fuzhou was very lively. The merchants seized the opportunity and made a lot of money.
