Chapter 365: Duke of Orodalari
Gao Junshan finally met Newton.
He summoned Newton in the Taihe Temple, which was to make Newton have a sense of reverence for China.
The golden, solemn and magnificent Taihe Hall symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power.
When Gao Junshan came to the Taihe Hall this time, he did not wear a dragon robe, but a bright red windbreaker, wearing a scholar's appearance.
He sat upright on the Golden Luan Hall and waited for Newton's arrival.
In the hall, the loud voice of the reciprocal resounded in the hall: "The English student Isaac Newton asks to see ——! ”
Gao Junshan said: "Please let him in!" ”
"Isaac Newton, an English student, ——!"
Newton, of course, could not understand the registrar's shout, but he was accompanied by an interpreter, and under the guidance of the interpreter, Newton came to the top of the main hall.
Newton, who had just turned thirteen, politely performed the Western courtesy to Gao Junshan, and he came to Gao Junshan, squatted down on his knees, took half a step back with the other foot, kept his body upright, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Newton greets the Emperor of China, I wish the Emperor long live, long live, long live!"
Newton actually said the above paragraph in Chinese, and Gao Junshan knew in his heart that this must be the work of the old courtiers of the Ministry of Rites. With a smile on his face, he said to Newton in English: "Mr. Newton doesn't need to be so polite, it is true that I am the emperor of Huaxia, but I am also your principal and mentor, today's meeting is the first meeting between our teachers and students, you don't have to be too restrained." ”
Newton was very surprised that the emperor of Huaxia could speak English, and he first expressed his high respect to Gao Junshan, and expressed his gratitude to Huaxia for accepting him to study in the capital.
Gao Junshan told Newton to study with peace of mind, if there are any difficulties in life, you can go directly to him, if you encounter any problems in learning, you can also come to him at any time, Gao Junshan promised him, at any time, he will give timely guidance to Newton, if he is no longer in the capital, Newton can establish contact with him by telegram.
"Telegram?"
Gao Junshan said: "Yes, it's a telegram." This is the advanced technology that I have researched in China, and I believe that after a period of study with us, you will be able to master this knowledge. ”
The meeting between teachers and students was pleasant, and Gao Junshan was sincerely willing to be Newton's mentor, and he believed that in the near future, his student would soar to the sky.
Gao Junshan and Newton had a conversation for more than two hours, of course, the purpose was to understand the current situation in Britain.
"Dear tutor, I am very willing to stay in Huaxia to study, especially under your guidance. I know that as the emperor of Huaxia, you will have a lot of important affairs to deal with, so I will retire as a student. ”
Gao Junshan said: "Very good, you settle down first, learn our Chinese language, and then send you to Chongwen Institute of Technology to study." ”
Newton saluted again, then turned and left the temple.
After Newton left, Gao Junshan asked the rector to summon the British mission to an audience.
The British mission, headed by the Duke of Ralari, a group of 23 people, under the guidance of the recital, entered the Taihe Palace, and the Taihe Hall played a welcome music.
Gao Junshan sat on the dragon chair, waiting for the British mission, the twenty-three members of the mission, on the top of the main hall, headed by the Duke of Orodalari, lined up in three rows, respectfully to Gao Junshan to perform Western etiquette.
After the salute, the Duke of Orodarari took a step forward, saluted again, and said in English: "Alger Ordalari, Duke of the First Class of England, sent by Marshal Cromwell, the Lord of the Protectorate, to meet the Emperor of Huaxia, and wish His Majesty the Emperor all the blessings!" ”
After the Duke of Orodarari finished speaking, the twenty-two envoys behind him also said: "I wish His Majesty the Emperor all the best!" ”
Gao Junshan stood up from the dragon chair with a smile and said in English: "Thank you for your blessings, and I wish you the health of your protectors!" ”
Before Gao Junshan finished speaking, the delegation was in an uproar, exclaiming that the king of Huaxia could speak English so fluently.
Duke Ralari said: "Since we entered India, we have been warmly received by Huaxia and accompanied by someone all the way. Especially after arriving in Shanghai, I have received you sincerely, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Your Majesty. ”
Gao Junshan said: "Our Huaxia mission has also received your respect and warm hospitality in the United Kingdom, which is a good beginning for the two of us to establish friendship. ”
Duke Ralari took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Gao Junshan: "This is a handwritten letter written by the British Protector to His Majesty the Emperor of China, please read it to Your Majesty!" ”
Gao Junshan took the envelope, opened it and looked at the letter, the content of the letter was as follows:
Your Majesty, Honorable Emperor of the Chinese Empire, you have done everything with kindness in your heart, and after practicing your Zuo, you will not only take care at all times to ensure the peace and security of your own land, and promote the happiness, wisdom, and morality of your subjects, but also seek to bring all mankind to the benefit of it, as far as possible. I know that your country is vast and has a large population, and that your heart is for the world, and that not only have your Chinese subjects been blessed by you, but you have sent armies to protect them from many countries of the world, and that they are all at peace with each other, and that they are at peace with each other, and that they are at peace with each other.
Your Majesty, in addition to promoting the prosperity and happiness of his subjects, has sent the best scholars of your country to England on several occasions, and has established an unbreakable alliance with me. In order to strengthen the alliance between our two countries, I, as the supreme ruler of England, ask your Majesty to permit me, without your consent, to send a mission headed by the Duke of Russia to the capital of your country, to establish a diplomatic mission, and at the same time welcome your country to send important ministers to London to set up an embassy, so as to facilitate close cooperation between the two of us.
Lord Cromwell, the Supreme Commander of the British Republic, worshipped
After reading the letter, Gao Junshan put it away, and then said happily to the Duke of Ralari: "Welcome British friends from afar!" I already know the meaning of your protectors, and you have made a request to set up embassies for each other, and I have granted it! We are also about to send a 30-strong mission to London for a long time. ”
The Duke of Orodarari breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, I have the highest respect for your enlightened and far-sighted vision!" ”
Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Duke of Orodalari, your country sent you to live in my capital for a long time, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future, I hope that the next time we meet, don't talk to me in such a tone, you have lifted me to the sky, how can I talk to you?" ”
Duke Orodalari laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "When I came, I read a lot of books about your country, and I have great respect for the emperor of your country. ”
Gao Junshan said: "I also admire your understanding of our Chinese history. ”
The Duke of Russia then took out another document from his bosom: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Kingdom, the two admirals of the United Kingdom and the Chinese Kingdom have signed a joint agreement, we think that this is not enough, at the suggestion of my British Field Marshal Cromwell, our two countries will sign another joint agreement, we have rewritten the original agreement, and Marshal Cromwell has already signed it, and Marshal Cromwell hopes that His Majesty will also sign this joint agreement." ”
Gao Junshan said: "There is no problem, after showing my auxiliary ministers first, I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”
