Xuan Tianmo was talking to himself, but Tianwu, who was sitting on the main seat, was thinking in a completely different way. At this moment, the old emperor tilted his head and asked Zhang Yuan, "What did the guy kneeling down below just say?" He was asking the Persian doctor, and the string of Persian words confused Tianwu.
But he was confused, and so was Zhang Yuan! But since the emperor had asked, he couldn't just shake his head and say something as vague and irresponsible as "I don't know" to fool him, so he thought for a moment and said, "It's probably something like kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, etc. Anyway, it's the first time they meet, so they just greet each other and can't say anything else."
Tianwu nodded, and took a thoughtful look at the kneeling Persian, but muttered, "He doesn't look friendly at all. I wonder if all men in Persia look like this. How can he practice medicine with this appearance?"
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "As long as her medical skills are good, it's fine. Why do you care what she looks like? She's not a concubine in the imperial selection."
Tianwu and Zhang Yuan did not understand Persian, so they naturally could not understand what the man was saying. The eighth prince Xuan Tianmo actually did not understand Persian either. Or rather, no one among the Dashun people in the hall understood Persian at all, because Persia and Dashun had not established diplomatic relations, and there were other small countries in between. The distance was far, the language was not understood, and the two sides only heard of each other, but there was no need to establish diplomatic relations.
Of course, although he didn't understand, he was not completely clueless. At least Feng Yuheng could understand a little bit. In fact, the so-called Persia is Iran in later generations, but in this period it still belongs to ancient Persia, and the language spoken is also ancient Persian, which belongs to the Iranian language system in later generations, but there are also great differences. It can be said that the Iranian language system in later generations evolved from the ancient Persian language after thousands of years, and the scale writing has changed, which is very complicated. Feng Yuheng is proficient in Iranian. Now, after half guessing and half guessing for a while, he also knows that the man did say something like "Long live the emperor", but it was just a bit stiff.
Tianwu told him to get up, but he gave the initiative to Xuan Tianmo. After all, he was invited by Xuan Tianmo, and he said he was going to talk about Persian medicine, which made Tianwu interested. He had long been extremely curious about Feng Yuheng's methods of treating and saving people. Now that he could hear the Persian talk about it in person, it could satisfy his curiosity to a great extent.
Xuan Tianmo was also considerate and told Emperor Tianwu: "Father, this Persian doctor can also speak our Dashun language. I once told him about some of the Persian medical skills that my brother and sister learned, but this doctor has a different opinion on this."
As he spoke, he motioned for the doctor to speak, but the doctor bowed again towards Tianwu, and then spoke in a very awkward but understandable Chinese: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince once mentioned that the princess of your dynasty learned our Persian medical skills, which can save people with strange pills and tablets, and can also inject a kind of magical water into the human body, and even use a knife to cut people's flesh and connect bones and tendons. After hearing this, I was extremely surprised, because we in Persia do not have such medical skills!" The doctor expressed extreme shock at this, and then talked incessantly about the real Persian medical skills.
As people listened, they gradually became surprised, because although the Persian medical skills heard from the Persian people were somewhat mysterious and magical, they did not contradict the traditional Chinese medicine of Dashun. On the contrary, the Persians told people categorically that the pills, infusions, and surgeries used by Feng Yuheng did not exist in Persia. After talking for nearly half an hour, they almost talked about the Persian medical skills from beginning to end. Although it sounded new, people also realized that Princess Ji'an had always claimed that she had worshipped a Persian master, but now the Persian doctor personally denied it. So, where did Feng Yuheng's skills come from?
Of course, some people thought it was nothing, no matter where she came from, it was a skill for her to learn it. But some people who had been instructed by the Eighth Prince asked after the doctor stopped talking: "Princess Ji'an, shouldn't you give us an explanation? You have been deceiving everyone by saying that you learned medicine from a Persian master, but Persia does not have the kind of medicine you know. How are you going to explain it today?"
Someone else groaned and said, "It's okay to deceive us, but you deceived the emperor as well. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Someone else was even more ruthless - "In my opinion, deceiving the emperor is the least of the crimes. Could this Princess Ji'an be a spy from a foreign country?"
For a while, under the deliberate guidance of these people, the hall began to discuss a lot, and even those who were not members of the Eighth Prince's party were suspicious. After all, everything Feng Yuheng brought to Dashun was too shocking, and the source of her skills that she originally described was now pointed out by the local Persians as not being the case. Even if people did not consider the details, they were curious about the truth of the matter.
At this time, the Eighth Prince spoke again: "Let's not talk about this medical skill. I think our Dashun's new steel is no longer a secret, right? Persian doctor, have you heard of it?"
The Persian nodded, "We Persians have also heard that Dashun has refined something that is a hundred times stronger than iron, called steel. Our king has great respect for it. It's a pity that we Persians cannot refine steel yet."
After this was said, people were even more puzzled. Steel was not from Persia? They had always thought that the Persians first made steel, and then Feng Yuheng's master passed it on to her. But now the Persians said that their country did not have such a thing at all, so where did Feng Yuheng's steel-making technique come from?
People looked at Feng Yuheng with puzzled eyes, as if waiting for her to answer. But Feng Yuheng did not explain the puzzlement to everyone, but smiled and asked the Eighth Prince: "What does Brother Ba mean? Why did you specially call a strange person to talk about the customs and practices of Persia? What is your idea? Or does Brother Ba want to instigate Dashun to establish diplomatic relations with Persia? Don't blame me for not reminding Brother Ba, Persia is far away from our Dashun, and there is a sea in between! That sea cannot be crossed by ordinary ships, without a huge cruise ship. And as far as I know, we in Dashun don't have a cruise ship that can cross that sea at present."
The Eighth Prince laughed, "Why did I instigate Persia to establish diplomatic relations with Dashun? I was just curious about the skills that my sister-in-law has. You keep saying that you learned from a Persian master, but the Persians don't know what you learned. Isn't this very strange?" As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Tianwu and said, "Father, to be honest, these Persians were accidentally encountered by me when I was in the southern border. They came to the desert to dance and earn money. This doctor is their accompanying physician. I remembered that my sister-in-law's master was also Persian, so I specially invited them back to the mansion to entertain them warmly. Who knew that after this chat, I unexpectedly discovered that the small country of Persia is really very different from what my sister-in-law said before! They don't have such strange medicines, nor such strange medicines, let alone steel. I thought, this is not right. If Persia doesn't have them, where did my sister-in-law learn all her skills from?"
After he finished speaking, the doctor continued, "I heard that the princess of Dashun also knows a kind of archery. The Persians are not good at hunting, and such exquisite archery has never appeared in the royal family."
After they said this, they actually involved Tianwu. Of course, he didn't think Feng Yuheng was a spy, he just wondered where Feng Yuheng's skills came from. He was like a curious baby, and his concern was completely different from that of other people. "Ah Heng, tell me quickly, where did you learn these skills? Did you meet a fairy in the mountains?"
Everyone was speechless. Those who were originally speaking for the Eighth Prince were shocked by Tianwu and didn't know how to continue. The Eighth Prince spoke again and said, "Father, in my opinion, this matter is not as simple as you think. Princess Ji'an made up such a lie. What is she really hiding behind it? I heard that the archery skills she can do are also known by the people of Qianzhou. Is it possible..."
"My dear brother, please stop making trouble!" Suddenly, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi interrupted, "Oh, you said she is from Qianzhou? A Qianzhou spy? A Qianzhou spy, with a group of Dashun soldiers, turned around and destroyed Qianzhou. If we want such spies, we have to recruit more of them. In the end, the four small countries sent such spies to Dashun. Not only can Dashun obtain medical skills, archery skills, and steelmaking skills that it has never had before, but this spy can also lead troops to destroy his own country. This is simply not a waste of Dashun's own efforts!"
Feng Zirui couldn't listen any longer and shouted, "My second sister was born and raised in Dashun. When did she become a Qianzhou person?"
"That's right!" The Yao family members were also unhappy. "We watched Ah Heng grow up. How come the Eighth Prince said she was a spy from another country?"
The Eighth Prince also had a plan to deal with this: "There is no distinction between innate and acquired spies. I did not say that she was a spy for the Qian Zhou Dynasty from the day she was born. I just have some small doubts about the three years she lived in the northwest and the skills she learned all of a sudden. Of course, this doubt became even stronger after she met these Persians and understood the situation in Persia."
"Oh!" Xuan Tianming suddenly laughed, "I have also been in the northwest for several years. Brother Ba, do you also suspect that I am a spy from somewhere? Really, you just said that you have no interest in our Ah Heng. If you have no interest, then why are you so treacherous that you want to investigate all of her ancestors? Aren't these things investigated because the two families intend to get married? Brother Ba, you are not being kind. There are so many women in the world, why are you trying to snatch your brother's wife?"
