In the years when the self-confidence of the Central Plains Dynasty was not destroyed, it was actually an almost natural thing, and no one would have any special thoughts about such a thing.
The Persians, who were on the platform of the pool, were still quite far from the throne, and it was a moment before they heard a loud but apparently flat voice, which they knew after listening to the interpreter that it was to be raised.
The hall has a pool is a habit left from the Qin Empire, the palace city after the completion of Xianyang City was built, I don't know how much bigger than the small palace city of the previous Qin kings, and after the rise of the Western Qin Dynasty has repeatedly expanded the scale, the hall of the council is changed again and again, to the time of the first emperor The palace has the highest specifications, the reason why there is a pool is that the first emperor often has fun with the secretaries.
The specification of the pool was abolished by the Han Empire later, and the hall was changed to a semi-open air, because Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was very frugal, and the semi-open air was changed to reduce the use of candles, and the semi-open air increased the light of the hall of the council.
In fact, candles have been made in the Han Dynasty, when candles were made of beeswax, so they are also called "yellow wax", which is an absolute luxury, even if it is a nobleman, it may not be able to afford it.
After the Tang Dynasty, the candle made of the secretion of the ash insects living on the ash tree was studied, because it was white, also known as "white ash", and began to be cultivated on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, so the candle was gradually cheaper from the Song Dynasty.
It should be said that the war caused many creations of the Zhuxia civilization to lose their inheritance, and many of them lost their crafts, such as the production method of 100 steels of the Han Dynasty was lost after the Wuhu Chaohua.
The production method of candles is also after the catastrophe of the Mengyuan Dynasty and few people know, or to the Ming Dynasty to be re-developed, but the price of candles is much more expensive than the Song Dynasty, as for the "I Qing Dynasty" why you have to buy candles from foreigners, that is, it is purely the backwardness of the production process to produce the price crushing trade war.
Standing up, Kianush Arta Ardashir looked ahead, where it was dimly lit and some steps could be faintly seen, above which was a man sitting in a large chair.
The light was so dim that he couldn't see more.
"I only express my sincerest greetings to you on behalf of my emperor."
Kianush Arta Ardashir stooped down and gave a chest touch, stood up and continued: "Please allow the foreign ministers to offer me a gift from the Emperor. ” This time the Persians brought a lot of goods, they tried to sell them in Jiankang, where commerce was prosperous, but unfortunately the Han people were not interested in most of those goods, only sold a lot of ivory products, and some beautiful gem carvings were also sold, that is, the fist product Persian blanket no one appreciated and bought.
The gift mentioned by Kianush Arta Ardashir was brought in a box, but it was not immediately brought into the temple, but it was left outside to be examined in detail, and only when he said that he was going to give it was carried inside by the sergeants.
There is a patio above the pool, which is very well lit in the sun, and when the boxes are opened, it is the Persians themselves who carry the gifts.
The first to be brought out are some blankets, each of which has its own characteristics, but there will inevitably be very complex patterns, some are animal graphics, and more are some human figures, and the character graphics should describe their myths.
Under the sunlight, a blanket spread out turned out to be a piece of golden light, and some colors could be seen to see the obvious shape of the figure, Kianush Arta Ardashir introduced that it was a picture of a member of the royal family, and pointed to one of the figures to say that it was himself.
Persian blankets are usually a mixture of wool, cotton, silk, gold and silver threads, and the one introduced by Kianush Artatardashir is clearly made of a large amount of gold thread, and it is more like a work of art made of a large amount of gold than a blanket.
"What do they mean" Cai You turned his head to look at Tian Shuo beside him: "Are you saying that your identity is very noble" Tian Shuo shook his head: "I have never seen anyone who acts like this. ” In the eyes of the Han people, the behavior of Kianush Arta Ardashir would indeed be very strange, and they did not expect that the Persians would take out a "painting" of a painting of contemporary Sassanid kings and royal family members as a gift, anyway, the Zhuxia civilization would never have done such a thing.
In the Zhuxia civilization, painting would only happen on some special occasions, such as being wanted, such as matchmaking leave, and the painting of noble figures was placed in the family temple, and the full-body portrait was not qualified to be painted.
There are a lot of people talking, and no matter how small the voice of each person is, it will form a "buzz" when they are gathered.
At the beginning of the design of the council hall, the sound transmission was taken into account, for example, the position of the king can be heard clearly everywhere in the hall without speaking loudly, and the minister can also spread his voice to the maximum extent when he arrives at the position of the initiation.
The blanket is really a Persian specialty, and the Kianush Arta Ardashir constantly shows one blanket after another, introducing not many animals, the most of which are Persian mythology, and some purely symmetrical lattice diagrams.
Today's Liu Yan is wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven.
The crown dress is the one made by Han Chengqin, the upper body is black, the lower body is red, the hem is soap-colored, and there are some very special patterns.
A full set of crown clothes is not simple, but it is an important symbol to distinguish the noble and the inferior according to the quantity and material of the crown.
The Han Dynasty stipulated that the emperor's crown was 12 rows, that is, 12 rows, and was made of jade.
The color of the crown is mainly black.
On both sides of the crown, there is a hole in each side, which is used to intersperse the jade flute to tie it with the bun.
And tie ribbons on both sides of the flute and knots under the jaw.
On the two ears of the ribbon, there is also a pearl and jade, called "Yun'er".
It is not inserted into the ear, but is tied next to the ear to remind the wearer not to listen to slander.
The phrase "let the ears be deaf" in later generations comes from this.
According to the regulations, everyone who wears a crown must wear a crown garment.
The crown dress is made of black blouse, vermilion bottom, and the upper and lower coats are painted with crests.
In addition, there are knee covers, ribbons, and bare necks, etc., which form a complete set of clothing.
It must be said that this dress system began in the Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, the crown costume of the Han Dynasty absolutely did not have a dragon pattern, and it was made of a Xuanniao.
As the system became more and more formalized, the hundred officials of the Han Kingdom also had their own court clothes, Liu Yan originally wanted to distinguish the official ranks by color during the Tang Dynasty, and later continued the Shang Hei of the pre-Han Han and Qin systems.
The court uniform of the hundred officials is all black, with red crests to distinguish the ranks.
Kianush Arta Ardashir continued to introduce various blankets, and no one came out to interrupt.
Liu Yan wasn't actually listening to what Kianush Arta Ardashir was talking about, he heard about the material cotton when he was listening to the translation, and he was thinking about how to get his hands on cotton.
The cotton of the Central Plains was only seeded in the Yang Sui period, which was an extension of Pei Ju's division of the Turks, and the seeds were obtained from the Western Regions, but they were regarded as an ornamental object, and the actual value of cotton was not discovered and developed.
At present, the main force of the Han Kingdom is wool products, and because there is no mature technology, it can only make some simple leather jackets, which can play a role in keeping warm in the bitter cold place, but it usually looks very swollen and fat, in fact, it is really not suitable as a military uniform.
When Liu Yan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a "meow", which provoked him to look over, but he saw Kianush Arta Ardashir holding a snow-white hair ball.
It was a fat-looking Persian cat, with a completely white coat and a face that looked a little embarrassed, fluffy and curled up in a ball and was held by Kianush Arta Ardashir, wagging its tail and chirping.

The cat was introduced to the Central Plains through the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty, and there was no trace of cats in various written records, murals, totems and other images before that.
During the Western Han Dynasty, there were cats in the Central Plains, but the number was very scarce, and the breed was relatively single.
In fact, there are local cats in the land of Zhuxia, mainly distributed in the land of Lingnan, cats really need to enter thousands of households until the eighteenth century, and in the nineteenth century, raising cats has become an extremely common phenomenon, and the cat with the name of the raccoon cat has the strongest ability to catch mice.
Liu Yan used to have cats, he didn't know the specific name of the cat, one of the female cats had been raised for 17 years, and the female cat ran to the highway and was crushed by a motorcycle, and the other was a single white-bellied male cat born to a female cat, because he was very well-behaved and loved him very much, but after returning from a certain outing, he learned that the cat that had lived for 14 years was tortured to death by the bear child of the neighbor's relatives, and he hated so much that he wanted to throw the bear child into the pond.
Kianush Alta Ardashir said that he brought a pair of cats, a male and a female, and that they were the most noble cats of pedigree and breed.
He even told a story about a country that went to war with Persia to get a similar cat.
Liu Yan was a little stunned when he heard it, he seemed to have heard the story, it was about the Greeks wanting to get the Persian cat and the war with Persia resulted in war, but he didn't expect it to really happen.
In fact, the Greeks had cats, which were introduced from Egypt, because the outbreak of war with cats was a reason, and there were no cats and other excuses for war.
Kianush Arta Ardashir's offering of the cat was just an episode, what he didn't expect was that Liu Yan couldn't wait to let people hold the cat on the throne, and Liu Yan was very familiar with all kinds of teasing.
He saw that Liu Yan could play with the cat's chin and knew how to carry the back of the cat's neck, and he could see that Liu Yan was no stranger to cats.
When the hundred officials ordered Liu Yan to hold the cat, in fact, someone wanted to advise, they had never seen a cat as an animal, the king comforted the matter of Guozuo, but he didn't wait to stand up to stop it, but he had already seen Liu Yan teasing, and he also showed extreme affection, and when he saw that there was no danger, he extinguished the idea of admonishment.
Next, Kianush Arta Ardashir began to display all kinds of carvings, with ivory and gemstone carvings being the most, but they were all carvings that the Zhuxia civilization would not have any aesthetics, until he demonstrated the sharpness of an ivory knife to attract everyone's attention, that is, the eyes of the hundred officials and the palace guards were very unkind.
Outside the hall, the captain of the palace was taken away with a miserable face, and it was his negligence that the foreign envoy actually brought sharp weapons into the palace, and he had already examined them in great detail, that is, he did not find any sharp weapons in the large number of carvings that were very intricately divided.
The hundred officials and guards just stared with unkind eyes, if Liu Yan spoke out, the next moment it should be the Persians on the pool who were shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows, but Liu Yan did not have any instructions.
In fact, Liu Yan still has some understanding of ivory knives and the like, and that thing is not hard because of the material, so it can only be used as a study utensil.
He wondered what the Persians had done to make an ivory knife that could easily cut through a blanket.
As for the Persians bringing in with sharp weapons, given that there was no prior notice, he really wanted to pursue it, and the outbreak of war was also a reason.
The Persians brought far fewer carvings than blankets, and strangely enough, they also brought a box of coins, and the introduction of Kianush Arta Ardashir is that those gold, silver, and copper coins are the history of Persia.
Central Asia and Europa have a special feature, that is, when making coins, the heads of contemporary kings are preferred, and the year of production will be engraved, and sometimes coins will be made for some major events, depicting the background of the major event patterns, so that you can really understand the history from the coin.
Then again, except for modern warlords who would put their heads on coins, the earlier Zhuxia civilizations did not depict the king's head on coins, and they did not mark the date of production, only the era name.
It was a kind of evasion, and even so serious that the "words" used in the king's name could not continue to be used, and the Zhu royal family of the Ming generation tried to choose rare words in order not to cause trouble to the people.
The display of Kianush Alta Ardashir continues, and along the way, it will also introduce the Sassanid Empire's famous places, basically not places with huge carved walls, or some place where huge statues are erected, and in an ostentatious tone, how many Greek sculptures have been looted, and many busts of Roman nobles have been plundered.
Liu Yan only smiled after listening to the latter words, before he watched Kianush Arta Ardashir take out something that did not belong to the Persian civilization at all, and thought that it was to be confused or something.
Towards the end, Kianush Arta Ardashir clapped his palms after asking for instructions, and the hundred officials, who were unaware in advance, saw several Persians wearing cloaks and lifted their cloaks and were stunned, which were several extremely enchanting Persian Ji:
