Decree written in English? Guan Zhuofan's eyes lit up: Good thing! Writing the Holy Decree in English can be regarded as "facing the world", "going out", and promoting China's integration into "globalization". () For the domestic defenders and conservatives, they are even more in the direction of Mao's foreign devils, the reformers can be regarded as "changing the summer with the Yi", and the conservatives can be regarded as "changing the summer into the Yi", each taking what he needs, and everyone is happy!

Besides, this thing came out, the first one in the world, and it will be recorded in history, this clear right, copyright or something, naturally I am concerned with someone - although the idea is Doolittle's, no one knows, hehe.

The benefits seem to be many, but it is not easy to translate the holy decree of classical Chinese into English, so as to achieve "faith, attainment, and elegance".

Guan Zhuofan originally thought that no one in this era was more suitable for this job than him, but when he really did it, he realized that it was not like that. After a few drafts, I became more and more disconfident in myself. But this thing must stand the "test of history", in case of any semantic grammatical fallacy picked out by later generations, even if I am under the spring, I will blush.

What to do?

In the end, Guan Zhuofan asked Zhang Yinheng, the general office of the "Railway Unit" under the "Advisory Committee", to "consult" together. Zhang Yinheng was born in the Shandong Governor's Shogun, and his ancient literary skills are not comparable to Guan Zhuofan's half a bucket of water, and his English level is not below Guan Zhuofan.

Looking for Zhang Yinheng is really the right one, in addition to the "proposed decree" helped a lot, the writing of this holy decree was also completed by Zhang Yinheng. Originally, the writing of holy decrees such as "edicts" and "edicts" has always been the work of the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy. But. This is a foreign text. How did the Jinshi and the disciples do this job? And on the jacquard brocade dedicated to making zuò holy decrees, tadpole characters are written with a brush, and Guan Beile does not have this ability.

Straight to the point.

After Guan Zhuofan finished announcing the decree, Du Lide said again "Du Lide received the decree and thanked him", and then he stood up, stepped forward, and received the decree from King Gong and Guan Zhuofan with a smile.

Two holy decrees to start, heavy. It is very weighty; It looks even more magnificent and dazzling. Doolittle is a person who has seen the world, and he can see that even if there is not a word on it, these two things are worth a lot of money!

These two holy decrees, made of jacquard silk brocade made of fine silk, are very smooth and delicate to the touch; The shaft handles at both ends are made of mutton fat jade. Originally, the favor given to the first-class officials was made of jade for the shaft handle; A favor to the second-grade officials. The shaft handle is made of black rhinoceros horn, but because Doolittle appreciated the head and wore it. Special grace, the holy decree with a kind of grace, in order to show honor.

After receiving the order, Du Yide immediately borrowed the side hall of the hall of the Ministry of Rites, took off his tuxedo, and put it on in a beaded robe.

After getting dressed up, Doolittle re-entered the lobby, up and down the hall, causing another sensation.

Brilliant and brilliant, Doolittle is not the first. In the past, there was the chief tax secretary Hurd, and a group of foreign-Chinese generals below Xuanjun Huaer, who could become the focus of attention of hundreds of officials in the capital, and he was high-profile, but Doolittle was really the first person.

Doolittle is tall and wears a wide mending gown on his body, which fits quite well; Coupled with wearing a sable warm hat, a bright red top on it, a white jade feather tube, dazzling eyes, and brilliance, the whole person looks very lofty. It's just that the lower edge of the robe exposes the trousers and leather shoes, which is a little "disobedient".

Doolittle was smiling and clasping his fists everywhere. When I saw Zhu Fengbiao and Wan Qingquinoa, two acquaintances, they were no longer called "Zhu Zhongtang" and "Minister Wan", but called Zhu Fengbiao "Xia Weng" and Wan Qingquinoa "Wen Weng". The strange voice was strange, and Zhu and Wan were stunned for a moment before they reacted: Oh, this foreign devil, you still know this! So his face was full of joy, and he returned the courtesy, "Congratulations to Xiu Gong!" "Xiu Gong is overjoyed!" -- Before he was knighted, Doolittle had just asked someone to give him a "word," which was called "cultivation."

After a lively round, I began to "take a group photo".

It is not a "group photo", and there is no condition for a group photo for the time being, but it is roughly divided into several groups according to the "Prince", "Cabinet", "Military Aircraft", "Sixth Ministry", "Jiuqing", and "Han Zhan Kedao", and one by one "group photo" with Du Little. Among them, the "Six Divisions", "Jiuqing", and "Han Zhan Kedao" have a large number of people, and they have to be divided into two or three batches, so that a total of ten or so allocations are divided.

Of course, those who participate in the "group photo" are only limited to the important ministers in the court; The middle- and low-level officials in the hall will not be able to take care of it.

The photographer was filled by Xuanjun's "military photographer", one ocean and one flower, set up a big "camera", from time to time the magnesium powder lamp flashed, "bang", and the hall of the ceremonial department was filled with smoke. What followed was a faint exclamation and commotion in the hall.

The vast majority of those who participated in the "group photo" today were "taking pictures" for the first time in their lives, and they did not know in advance what "taking pictures" was, nor did they have any psychological preparations--because of this, they did not have time to think that "taking pictures" would "move souls."

Since the "Bow to the Grand Event" and the "Gift List" are drawn up in this way, and the "Ritual Note" is arranged in this way, other people and other yamen should "take pictures", and their own yamen will naturally have to "take pictures". So I couldn't think of it so much, and I followed one after another, "acting like a ritual", and in a daze, I offered "the first time in my life".

This is exactly the effect that Kwan Zhuofan wants. If this group of people chooses calmly by themselves, and because of the wanton fermentation of false legends such as "moving souls", then the conservative winter baking people among them, who do not know the year of the monkey, are willing to take the first photo of their lives? I'm afraid that some people will stay away from "cameras" in their lives.

A single "camera" may not be very important, but the new world is made up of many, large and small "camera-likes". In the same way as the reason of "persecuting" Zhu Fengbiao and Wan Qingqui to meet Du Lide, they all pulled the important ministers over to take pictures, whether you want to or not, you have made de facto "intimate contact" with this new world - the first step into the new world has been taken unconsciously.

The torrent of the times is rolling in, you can't help standing by the river to watch the excitement and be confused, I have neither the time nor the patience, stretch out a kick in the back, and kick directly down the river. You drink a few more sips of water, float and sink for a while, and then you get used to it.

Everyone in the hall of the Ministry of Rites took a photo with Du Lide, including Wu Ren.

Afterwards, each of the important ministers attending the meeting got a "photo" with their own photos. Look, radical or conservative; Whether they support "foreign affairs" or oppose "foreign affairs", they all become part of "foreign affairs" and become part of the new world.

The next day, Doolittle entered the palace to "give thanks".

The queen mother of the two palaces saw foreign devils, which was another thing that "opened the world and the earth".
