What is the Celestial Empire?
There are different opinions on this question, but there is one that the Manchu civil and military all agree on. - No one thought that those emissaries of the foreign vassals could meet the emperor casually.
The emperor is the symbol of the Ming Dynasty, he is noble, then the Ming Dynasty is noble.
So the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, who didn't know this atmosphere, touched their heads, and then returned to the post house, and were reprimanded by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and when they saw Chen Mo, they almost felt that this was a tiger and wolf's den.
"Your Majesty will summon you tomorrow."
Chen Mo said the news with a straight face, and did not see a smile on the faces of Doc and the others. …… Early the next morning, the three of them dressed up and followed a group of sergeants to the imperial city.
The Imperial City in the darkness is like a monster lying in front of it.
The three of them came closer, and there was an official from the Ministry of Etiquette waiting in front of them, and he beckoned: "Hurry up and follow this official!"
” The three of them followed him closely into the main gate of Li, and the interpreter also followed after being searched.
The lights in the imperial city are lit, and it looks like a sea of stars from a distance.
It's so luxurious!
It's too big!
The three of them were shocked in their hearts, but they didn't know that this was a deliberate arrangement, just to let these people see Da Ming's greatness.
"Let them envy, it's better to give birth to the fire of jealousy that burns all this, and then start a war with Da Ming."
These were Fang Xing's original words, which were sprayed into a declaration of reckless militarism by civilian officials at the time, but in the end, no one objected to this arrangement.
The pride of the central country made those civil officials refuse to show weakness, and they wished to suppress that group of countrymen.
The morning sun loomed in the east, and as he got closer, Abel suddenly exclaimed.
"What's that?"
In the darkness, black shadows stood there like sculptures, not moving!
"It's human!"
Just ahead, tall sergeants stood neatly at the same distance, stretching all the way to Chengtianmen.
In the early morning darkness, sculpture-like people stood there, and the shock made the three messengers lose their manners.
"This is the army?"
Doc blurted out.
But no one would answer his question.
The official of the Ministry of Rites turned around in front of him and frowned: "Please follow this official, remember, you are not allowed to walk around in the palace, and you are not allowed to peep." ” The three of them gathered their minds and walked all the way through the middle of these 'sculptures', although they said that they were not allowed to peep, but they were still looking at the sergeants.
The sergeants looked grim, staring straight ahead and motionless.
What a miracle!
For Tessie, this neatness and solemnity is almost unattainable, and it is shocking and worrying.
If the army of the Ming Dynasty is all of this kind of discipline, then who can be the enemy?
All the way into the palace, the sky gradually brightened, and the majestic palace appeared in the eyes, which made people can't help but look at it carefully.
The official of the Ministry of Rites turned around and saw the three of them looking left and right, and couldn't help but cough with disdain.
It's really a bun!
After entering the main hall, looking at the emperor sitting upright, the three of them were slightly stunned.
According to the prior communication of the Ministry of Rites, they should kneel on one knee at this moment.
Yes, Da Ming does not need to force others to kneel on their knees.
But the three of them began to be stunned when they saw Zhu Zhanji above.
Youyu Shi immediately attacked, and he said sharply: "Seeing Your Majesty, you don't even salute, bold!"
” The Han generals on both sides were glaring angrily, their weapons shining.
The interpreter knelt on the ground with a weak foot, and the three of Doc woke up, then knelt down on one knee and said hello loudly.
The interpreter shuddered and translated the past: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, here are the envoys from Lisbon, Plantagenet and Franks, we salute you. ” Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "The envoy is coming from afar, can there be anything to say in the country?"
” Doc preemptively said: "The King salutes you, Your Majesty the Emperor, Plantagenet hopes to be friends with the great powers of the East. ” The three of them all expressed their desire to become friends with Da Ming, but how can such vain words make people tempting.
The emperor naturally disdained to deal with these people, and it was not advisable to come out too much.
Yang Rong came out of class, his movements were chic and smooth, and then he asked: "Friends are easy to say, it's just that Daming has a lot of friends, and I don't know what kind of friends the Three Kingdoms want to be." ” Most of the friends of the Ming Dynasty are vassal states and want to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty......
It seems that there are no such countries yet.

Therefore, Yang Rong's words are very clever, you can advance or retreat, just look at the emperor's intention and the response of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.
This kind of skill is naturally what civil officials are best at, so including Fang Xing, the martial artists are just pressing the scene.
What kind of friends?
The three of them thought about it, and their ignorance of the foreign policy of the East made them make another judgment.
"Honorable Emperor Your Majesty, Plantagenet is willing to be the most sincere friend of the Ming Dynasty, and we can join hands ......"
"The Honorable Emperor Must Love, Frank......" “…” The envoys of the Western countries who were watching the ceremony were almost dumbfounded when they heard the words of the interpreter.
Hand?
You actually want to join hands with Daming?
Yang Rong was already smiling, smiling very naturally, and then said amiably: "Yes, Da Ming always treats friends sincerely, since the Three Kingdoms think like this, then Da Ming will naturally not abandon friendship." ” It's over!
Those envoys felt that the three kingdoms probably didn't see their identities clearly, and they were too proud.
It's no problem if you want to be friends with Daming, what is your strength?
The key is to listen disobediently and disrespectfully.
The thought of the Heavenly Empire has been echoing in this land, and the history of being trampled by foreign races for many years has made the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty want to see the grand occasion of the coming of all nations.
And friends......
As long as you are not a fool, you should know that the so-called friends are just a combination of interests.
Daming can make the interests bigger and let others share the profits, so everyone is a friend.
If not, then there will be a lot of covetousness in those respectful eyes, just waiting for the Central Plains to swing and the smoke to rise, and then come in and take advantage of the fire to rob.
Therefore, Yang Rong started not only to advance or retreat, but also to be a temptation.
As a result, what was tested was not very satisfying.
The atmosphere in the main hall is a little strange, and it doesn't mean to say that it is stagnant, it seems to be a little ridiculous.
Whether it was a civil official or a martial artist, including those Western envoys, they all looked at the three envoys with ridicule.
Even the eunuchs on the side looked at them mockingly.
What a big ass, I actually want to be on an equal footing with Da Ming, it's really a joke when Yang Rong's question is!
Zhu Zhanji was suddenly interested, and only felt that it should be the day of the martial artists below.
Since it's boring, there's no need to socialize.
Zhu Zhanji just snapped his fingers and thighed, and Yang Rong immediately understood and asked someone to start the procedure.
After a set of procedures was completed, the envoys of the three countries, who felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, were about to set up another routine, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already come out.
"Your Excellency, please."
Is this the end of the meeting?
Dock felt that this was wrong, so he said, "Your Majesty, we ......"
"Bold!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites stared at each other and shouted, "Where is the etiquette?
” Doc was stunned, and when he saw the disgusted and disdainful eyes around him, he realized that this was not a gorse.
It's hierarchical!
The three of them followed out in a gray manner, Zhu Zhanji got up, and then all of them sent each other, and the three people who went out were missing.
So His Majesty's dislike of the Tessie envoy is almost confirmed.
"Barbaric, vulgar!
How can such a person face the saint?
” After Zhu Zhanji left, an old scholar was bitterly criticizing the work of the Ministry of Rites, and Hu Hu was embarrassed on the side.
