Chapter 643 - Entering the Country and Following Customs

When the ministers of Western Chu saw this scene, they cheered for Chu Shaobai in their stomachs, and they only felt very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Empress Dowager Zhou has always been in a depressed mood, and at this time, she couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face, looking at Chu Shaobai's eyes with a hint of approval.

"This king has always heard that the Eastern Qin is a big country, the state of etiquette, how do you know that it is better to see than to hear, but I didn't expect that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a talent, but the people around him don't know the slightest bit of etiquette, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor of our country actually does not bow and kneel, so arrogant and rude, it is really a shame for the monarch of the Eastern Qin!"

Chu Shaobai opened his mouth coldly again.

Hearing this, the interpreter's face suddenly turned from red to pale.

He did rely on the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, and did not kneel and kowtow to the Emperor of Western Chu, but he was found out by Chu Shaobai in public, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed, peeking at Namco, not knowing what to do.

"As an envoy, every word and deed represents the dignity and demeanor of your country, and this interpreter did not salute when he saw His Majesty the Emperor of our country, did you not salute when he saw the monarch of your country?"

Chu Shaobai's words were sharp and aggressive, and he only asked the interpreter who was speechless and couldn't answer.

"Rakuladli!" Namtso suddenly spoke, saying several words in Dongqin in one breath, and looked at the interpreter with a stern gaze.

The interpreter, who had been accused of not being able to raise his head, listened to Namco's words, and then held his head high, and became like a proud rooster again.

He raised his chin and said: "The customs of various countries are different, so the etiquette is also different, for example, in our country, the noble person only needs to stroke the chest and bend over, which is the most noble etiquette, but your country has to kneel and kowtow to the emperor, my Dongqin man has gold under his knees, and he will never kneel to others, even if he is facing the emperor of your country, he can't! Just now I have saluted the emperor of your country according to the etiquette of my Eastern Qin country, as for kneeling and kowtowing, it is a purely unreasonable request!"

As soon as the ministers heard his words, they were purely strong words, and they were even more angry.

They can also see it now, and the attitude of this interpreter has suddenly become tough, and it is clear that he has been instructed by the prince of Eastern Qin, what does this mean? The prince of Eastern Qin can understand the dialect of Western Chu.

But he obviously understood, but he pretended not to understand, and asked the interpreter to paraphrase every word, what is the situation?

And everyone was puzzled.

Chu Shaobai sneered: "Yes, the customs and etiquette of your two countries are indeed different, but I believe you have always heard the phrase "entering the country according to customs, right?" Since you have come to my Western Chu country, you must follow the rules of my Western Chu country, which is also a matter of course, and the way for my Western Chu country to express respect is to kneel and salute, if your envoy really respects our country, he should follow the etiquette of my country! Your country regards kneeling as humiliation, but in our opinion, this represents the highest respect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he won the applause of the ministers.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"King Jing'an's words are reasonable!"

"Entering the country is customary, it is well said, and it is wonderful!"

The interpreter's face turned white for a while, and he peeked at Namtso again, hoping to get guidance from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The corners of Namco's mouth were tightly pursed, his face was expressionless, and he didn't say a word.

Because he couldn't refute what Chu Shaobai said, every word of the other party was full of reason.
