135. Ming two real three above
The next day, the time of canonization.
Ling Yuntian and Yang Peng entered the palace together, and the color of the new court clothes made Ling Yuntian very unhappy, why was it mainly red. In particular, the clothes that the two brothers wear together are basically the same. It's like a couple's outfit, thinking of this, Ling Yuntian can't help but be tired of his own thoughts.
Ling Yuntian and the two entered the palace, because they were new champions, they could not enter the palace with the ministers, and they had to wait until the emperor was in the court, and after propaganda, they could enter the Taihe Palace, which is the so-called Jinluan Palace.
The two came to the Taihe Hall and accompanied the eunuch to report. After a while, a high but gloomy voice shouted: "Xuanxinke champion Yang Peng and Yang Yuntian are here!" ”
Ling Yuntian and the two glanced at each other and walked in.
Then there was naturally a burst of politeness, and the salute was free of courtesy.
Just as he was about to be canonized, the eunuch came to report that the British ambassador came to meet him. As soon as these words came out, the Ministry of Rites and the others couldn't help but become anxious, they shortened the exam cycle in order to avoid this day, but they didn't expect them to enter the palace in advance.
Qianlong dealt with Yang Yuntian yesterday, oh no, or Aixinjue Luo Hongtian, and naturally he was in a good mood. Besides, the British envoy's visit to China showed that his prestige of the Qing Dynasty had spread to the other side of the ocean. Naturally, he received it, so he said: "Hongtian, you guys stand aside and see what the purpose of this British ambassador is." ”
"The minister obeys the order," the two said together. He stepped aside and stood aside. People who don't know what to do naturally think that Hongtian? Isn't it cloudy? Could it be the expression of one of them?
Two men dressed in British costumes walked in. And they put aside their doubts.
"Charles (William), I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" The two of them practiced Western etiquette.
"Presumptuous, since you have come to my east, you have to come according to our etiquette, how can it be child's play," said the Minister of Rites.
"Well, my lord, this is the highest etiquette in the British Empire, usually when we meet the queen, this etiquette is usually practiced when we meet the queen, and in our place, it means the most honorable" William said slowly in his non-standard Chinese.
"Okay, okay, since their queen is like this, forget it. I don't know what is the important matter for the two ambassadors to come to my Daqing? Qianlong said magnanimously.
"Oh, Your Majesty of the Qing Dynasty, please allow me to introduce to you, this is the son of the Queen of our country, His Royal Highness Charles. Her Royal Highness Charles admires your country's culture very much, so Her Majesty the Queen specially invited me to bring him here to study and study, and by the way, the culture of the two countries will be compared. William said.
Everyone knew that it was so. Want to compete? Everyone's interest was raised.
"Oh, I wonder what Prince Charles is going to compare to?" Qianlong Road.
Charles muttered something in William's ear. This made Qianlong frown slightly, perhaps because he saw Qianlong's dissatisfaction. William arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Charles can only speak some relatively simple Chinese at present, so I can only inform you in my Chinese language, and I hope that Your Majesty will not be strange."
"I see, but you speak Chinese so fluently, I don't know why." Qianlong asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I opened a restaurant in England, which is a restaurant in your country's words. The chef there is a person who came to China from your country, and I am fortunate to have a deep friendship with him, so I have gradually learned a lot about Chinese culture. ”
Qianlong nodded, "Okay, I agreed." Then I don't know how your country wants to compete? ”
"Prince Charles said that three games are played, and two wins are won in three games, the first game is a martial arts fight, the second game is a literary fight, and the third game is a learning language."
Everyone couldn't help but wonder when they heard it, Wendou Wudou is very easy to understand, what is the comparison of learning language? William seemed to know he didn't quite understand what he was saying. He explained: "The so-called learning language is that we send one person to each other, learn each other's language, and then narrate it. Whoever says it more accurately wins. ”
"This William, well, sir, you know our Chinese, if you speak it, we won't lose!" Fu Heng said.
Charles muttered again, William was a little embarrassed, "This, I know the language of your country is also the result of my years of learning, as for you, I believe that it should not be difficult to find a person with an outstanding memory, we heard on the way that your country seems to be selecting the most powerful person among the students, called the champion." In that case, let this person answer, how about it? ”
The ministers were bored, isn't this a typical advantage, but they really have no place to reason, who let others use Yangmou, so although they knew that they probably understood that this sentence was lost, no one noticed that Ling Yuntian nodded at Qianlong.
Although Qianlong also knew that this was simply cheating, but there was no way, he could only drill into it, who made him boast of Haikou. At this time, he saw Ling Yuntian nodding to him, Qianlong's eyes lit up, and he knew that he had a way, so he agreed to this gamble. It can be regarded as saving his face, after all, once he loses, it will be naturally
William and the two were naturally happy, and they agreed to start the first competition this afternoon, martial arts. Then the two men said goodbye and left for the British Embassy in Beijing.
After the next dynasty, Fu Heng and other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, together with Ling Yuntian, were called by Qianlong to the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss matters.
When he arrived at the place, Qianlong excused himself from asking for peace and went straight to the point: "What is the opinion of all Aiqing on the competition proposed by the British ambassador this time?" ”。
Ministers, look at me, and I look at you, and they all bow their heads like stones. Only Ling Yuntian and Hongtian were staring at each other with big eyes.
Qianlong almost laughed when he looked down, but his eyes were already full of smiles, and the serious atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Just when Ling Yuntian felt that his scalp was hairy, Qianlong said, "Hongday, you can talk about it." ”
Prince He's face stiffened, as if he didn't expect his brother to let him answer. However, he still walked out and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, the younger brother thinks that this time is very unfavorable to our side, if we want to win two games in three games, we must win the first two games, because we will definitely lose the third game."
Qianlong raised his eyebrows in the direction of Prince He, and Ling Yuntian nodded. Qianlong's heart is back again, hum, two? This time I have to win all three games, since you dare to design me, I will let you lose face in Britain this time, and I will not even leave the inside.
"Well, I think so too, then, I don't know who will play in the first game of this afternoon, and do you have anyone to recommend?" Qianlong pushed the problem down again.
The ministers looked at their noses and noses, and looked like they were watching from the wall.
"Qi Qi Sheng, my Daqing is the world that will be conquered immediately, so I am naturally not afraid of their gambling fights. When the time comes, immediately respond and send someone," Fu Heng continued.
Everyone applauded. Qianlong thought so, after all, there are many kinds of martial arts, let's talk about it when the time comes, I am full of talents in the Qing Dynasty, and I will not be unable to find someone to compete with him.
Everyone dispersed and went home, leaving it aside for the time being.
"Big brother, what do you think they will compare?" Yang Peng asked.
"Don't worry, if they're playing with muskets, you'll be able to use throwing knives and do your best, without staying behind. Got it? If not, I don't think you need to make a move," Ling Yun Heavenly Dao.
Although Yang Peng had doubts, in his heart, Ling Yuntian's words were more effective than the holy decree, and he had never made a mistake, so he responded in one go
