On both sides of the avenue, from the station to the Arc de Triomphe, is Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; In the thunderous cheers of the people who spontaneously came to welcome the friends of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the black and oppressive human wall that Bonaparte spoke of was that everyone was still waving a small bright red flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in their hands, as if draped two huge red ribbons on the city of Paris.

What Lin Haifeng, who was looking at this qiē through the window of the car, was unexpected, starting from the huge banner written in Chinese and French characters as soon as he got out of the station, "The friendship between France and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is evergreen", all kinds of welcome banners along the way were dizzying, simply one after another, and the content on the banner made Lin Haifeng not only feel a lot of emotion after seeing it, but also easily distinguish the industry and status of the people wearing the banners.

"Strongly welcome the great Taiping Heavenly Kingdom warriors!" This is the queue of the Guards.

"Prince Lin, you are the pride of the contemporary aristocracy!" This is the crowd of the Senate.

"Thanks to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, we are going to have a job!" These are ordinary Parisian workers.

"Eager for our great Chinese friends to give us a place to live!" This is the poor Parisian citizens who are suffering in the midst of a "ruined reconstruction" in the city of Paris......

"Welcome, Great Prince, our leader!"

Who is this? When he saw a group of strangely dressed people holding up such a big red banner, Lin Haifeng began to be confused again, he couldn't figure out why he became the leader of these French? He couldn't help but look at Louis 8226, who was sitting next to him, with a questioning look; Napoleon 8226; Emperor Bonaparte.

"Hahaha......" Louis laughed amused by the guest's appearance, "this is the wizards we have here." Your masterful divination skills have long since been interpreted by the newspapers with the introduction of Bourblon, and the result is that the wizards of all France have become sweet, and everyone pats their chests and swears that their witchcraft is absolutely in the same vein as yours. ”

Dizzy! Lin Haifeng looked at the lady who was hugging the Queen of France affectionately all the time, and at this time kept squeezing his eyes at him and mocking him, grinning as if he had eaten a big mouthful of coptis.

"Actually, these guys are all deceitful Q," Queen Eugeni snorted hard out of the car window, and then looked at Lin Haifeng with an admiring smile on her face, "They just want to deceive people under your banner." But you are different, and I firmly believe in Burbulon's words, that you are the true prophet. ”

"Me?" Lin Haifeng pointed to his nose, looked at Louie again, and couldn't help laughing.

Approaching the Arc de Triomphe, at the request of Napoleon III, Lin Haifeng was to give a short speech to the welcoming crowd in order to satisfy the great expectations of the people from all walks of life, and then enter the Élysée Palace along the red carpet that runs from the Arc de Triomphe to the Élysée Palace. There, a formal welcoming ceremony will be solemnly held.

And at this moment, another peculiar scene came into Lin Haifeng's eyes.

Among the banners, a huge card Q was held high, and on the big card Q, an old cow was actually making a crane soaring into the sky, and three blood-red Chinese "cow" characters, although the writing was crooked, was eye-catching.

This time, there was no need for Lin Haifeng to ask, and Empress Eugeny quickly explained with a smile, saying that today was supposed to be the day when the Paris stock and bond exchanges were open normally, and in order to welcome His Excellency the Prince of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor of France ordered the exchange to be closed for one day. Of course, the emperor's majesty actually has another layer of concern for the people, that is, if the market is not closed, today's exchange will definitely be crowded by those crazy people. At the same time, she also ignored the repeated glances of the emperor on the other side, and proudly told Lin Haifeng that in fact, she had already entrusted her own private advisers, and had already bought a large number of stocks in French steel and shipbuilding a few months ago, and as for the bonds, she was waiting to start enjoying the comfortable Chinese sedan sent by Prince Lin tomorrow......

In the end, Empress Eugenie recited a sword scar Zhai Xuan's tomb Yi Qian Budong Yan Qi Qi Φ Na recited the Stable Xuan Meal F Xuan Yu Tu Qi Gray Zi Che ┐ Xiamen Xuan Zhi ”

After listening to the Empress of France's explanation, Liu Xianghe stared at each other with a pair of big watery eyes, and looked at each other with great reverence for a while, and then sincerely admired, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your knowledge is too profound and rich!" You even understand our culture more than I do. ”

Eugenie hugged Liu Xianghe, shrugged her shoulder straps and shook her head and frowned, making a very helpless look, "Oh, my dear sister, don't you know that in order to welcome you and your prince's commissioner, our entire France has been preparing for half a year. Alas...... They are all busy, big men, big heroes, if we don't help with a lot of things, then how can we do it, do you say no? ”

Empress Eugenie's words were true, and in order to welcome the delegation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, the French Empire made serious and full preparations from top to bottom. During this period, the press department of the French Empire was even more exaggerated, and the newspapers were full of articles about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom every day, fully demonstrating from almost every subtle angle the benefits that this historic interaction between the two countries would bring to the already troubled French Empire. As a result, all walks of life in China are full of ardent expectations and firm confidence in the arrival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government delegation.

In the sky above the Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of ancient Paris, the national flags of China and France were waving in the wind, and on both sides, the huge banners of "Long Live the Great French Empire" and "Long Live the Great Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" were particularly dazzling, and the cheers from all sides reached the extreme at this moment.

Under the watchful eye, Lin Haifeng delivered an impromptu speech. In his speech, Lin Haifeng, on behalf of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, first expressed his most sincere gratitude to the French people for their great love to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government and people, and for the tremendous help they have given to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government and people. Subsequently, he praised the greatness of the French people, praising Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; His Majesty Bonaparte made a great contribution to peace in Europe and worked hard to improve the domestic economy. In conclusion, he firmly stated that the government and people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will always be the best friend of the French people, and wished that the friendship between the two peoples, as written by the French people on the banner, will last forever.

The grand and long welcome lasted almost four hours, starting at 12 o'clock at noon and ending with the official welcome ceremony at the Élysée Palace.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the formal welcoming ceremony began as a 21-gun salute sounded over the Elysee Palace, where the flags of China and France were flying in front of the door. Speaking of this salute, in addition to being popular among warships at sea, only Britain had stipulated in 1772 that 21 gun salutes should be fired as a courtesy to welcome its king and queen. Now Napoleon III, who dared to be the first in the world, could not control so much, in order to set off the atmosphere of the welcome ceremony, he was the first to fire a salute to welcome state guests. Since then, countries have followed suit, and eventually formed a new rule that sets the firing of a cannon salute as the highest courtesy to welcome state guests, that is, 21 rings are the most solemn, followed by 19 rings.

At the end of the salute, in the spacious rectangular courtyard in the middle of the Élysée Palace, the military band played the national anthems of China and France. Accompanied by Napoleon III, Lin Haifeng inspected the guard of honor of the Élysée Palace and met with Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; Bonaparte made a brief speech. In front of high-ranking officials from the government and invited envoys from various countries, as well as representatives from all walks of life in Paris and editors and reporters of various newspapers, Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; In his welcome speech, Bonaparte repeatedly used the phrase that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government was the most reliable friend of the French Imperial government, and that Commissioner Lin Haifeng was his dearest brother.

After the welcoming ceremony, Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; Mr. and Mrs. Bonaparte and other government dignitaries accompanied Lin Haifeng and his entourage into the "Hall of Honor" of the Élysée Palace, where, in the words of the Paris newspapers the next day, "the two sides had a brief but extremely pleasant conversation in an extremely friendly atmosphere......

The Tuileli Palace, where Lin Haifeng and his entourage stayed, was Louis 8226; Napoleon 8226; Bonaparte's favorite palazzo was his favorite residence during his time as president of the French Second Republic, and although the Élysée Palace was declared his official residence at that time, he preferred to stay there for a long time. Now, the generous Napoleon III can reluctantly arrange for Lin Haifeng and his party to stay here, which shows that he has exhausted his scheming for the fate of the French Empire.

When Liu Xianghe heard that the room where the couple lived was the bedroom of the French Emperor and the Empress couple, he was dizzy for a while, and then sat on the throne of the gorgeous and abnormal Emperor Napoleon, while moving his legs that were already sore, while rubbing his right hand distressedly, and sighed non-stop, "My mother, what kind of etiquette is this, it's just deliberately looking for cheap." Grab your hand one by one and don't let go, where is a gentle kiss, it's no different from a dog bite. Look...... Look at it...... The backs of people's hands are swollen. ”

Lin Haifeng, who was sitting on another throne and resting with his eyes closed, was so troubled by his wife that his eyes were opened. He first straightened up lazily, and then gently touched the back of his wife's soft little hand, "It doesn't seem to be as strict as you say, isn't it nothing, hehe...... Besides, gloves have been prepared for you, and you don't want to wear them, so who is to blame? ”

"Isn't that why people don't think it's good-looking," Liu Xianghe pouted, looking at his poor hand, worried about the lawsuit full of Q, "If you stay for a long time, you don't have to wait until you return to our Tianjing, and this hand of others will be useless." Gentleman, bullshit......"

"Haha......" Lin Haifeng couldn't help but be amused by his wife, and laughed out loud, "You, you're really a ...... Gotta have it, since that's the case, I think it's still safety first, beauty second, and then you have to put on gloves when you go out in the future, otherwise, don't blame people...... Yes...... Haha......"

"I hate it, don't blame them, who else can blame, I ......" Liu Xianghe said, suddenly stopping his gaze on Lin Haifeng's face, "I also said that people, people still have gloves, but what about your face?" If you can't do it, I'll have to put a mask on you, right? Oh my God, look at that noble queen Xià holding and gnawing, gnawing your ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but start laughing, "Ouch...... I'm laughing to death...... If it weren't for someone who wiped your face in time in the car, I don't think you would have been able to see anyone...... It's just one person, I'm afraid in case...... In case of...... Ahh......h My swollen face is worse than my swollen hands......"

"Haha...... Hahaha......" Lin Haifeng laughed while touching his face, and made a grimace at his wife, sticking out his tongue at his wife, "It's okay, I'm thick-skinned, I'm not afraid of this ......"

"Hmph, you don't just like this, do you? I see that when you are gnawed, not only does your face not change and your heart does not beat, but you also have a righteous and awe-inspiring momentum," Liu Xianghe said, glancing at her husband 3 fiercely.

"Really, am I really that good?" Lin Haifeng pretended to look at Mrs. Q with a very serious look, and after a while, he shook his head again, smashed it and smiled, "No, I see that you accidentally knocked over the vinegar altar Q, hahaha......"

"Nonsense, which Q vinegar do people eat. Besides," Liu Xianghe looked at Fu 3 and stopped for a while, then learned the posture and tone of Fu 3's speech, waved his hand and said, "It's not for the sake of the Celestial Empire, for the sake of our Celestial Empire, we have to give up everything." ”

"Yes, you think that they are so desperate to slap us up because of us, no, they fancy a lot of silver dollars in our Celestial Empire's treasury. For the sake of money, they can do anything. But we have our responsibilities, and sometimes we have to do something against our will......" Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng suddenly remembered something and moved his gaze towards the door, "Xianghe, how do I think Fu Shanxiang is a little weird, it seems to be ...... It seems to ......"
