Fake royal stables, carriages and horses, so that you can enjoy the garden. There are thousands of trees, all of which are more than a hundred years old. The mountain flowers are beautiful, the stream is circulating, the deer are singing, and the birds are singing. The delicate flowers are covered with glass houses, and there are windows that open and close, so as to block the wind and the sun. The flower is cloudy, the earth is still cold, otherwise it is frozen and wilted. Among them, the five colors are bright and fragrant. Knowable, begonias are two feet tall and full of charm. Red and white camellia, like the right of the river. Yueji, rhododendron, peony, and peony of the four seasons are all large and normal. And so it is with the fruit house. There are dozens of peaches, plums and apricots, and the grapes are said to be. All copper pipes are used to store hot water, which is mild like the climate of late spring in Middle-earth. The fruits have the first flower, the first to bear the stem, the first to bear and the gradual ripening, the cloud is ready to be used at any time, so that there is no lack of ears. In order to pick a ball of purple grapes, it is larger than the bird's egg, and it is ripe and luscious. The horses in the stables are eight feet high. There are also eight small horses, such as Shu, which are used by the monarch. To the four-horse high car, the star flying electric engine, for a while around the calendar. β
"When the time comes, the person in charge of the palace will be ordered by the monarch in his name to invite him to the banquet and dance palace. At the second moment of the first day, Kunyu and Yu both wore swords in dresses and went to the palace gate together. These dresses are the style of Kunyu, with reference to the color of Western clothes, and are based on the Chinese etiquette system, and are made by tailors. Take dark blue (blue is green, meaning of the Qing Dynasty), a large row of pipa buckles, chest dragon pattern, sleeve embroidered gold dragon two, copper belt, wearing a waist knife, extremely majestic and majestic,...... When I got off the bus, more than 100 soldiers lined up, all dressed naked. The door will hold the halberd according to the line, the hooves will not move, and there are four people in each door. Turn left at the entrance, cross the long alley, fold four or five, and intermittently blazing fire. The steps are made of grained stones, salty paving, and flowers are planted on both sides, and the fragrant flowers are full of bricks. The lights are shining, and there is no trace of darkness. More than 100 steps up, and those who order women to enter the court are connected to each other. Kunyu and Yu followed the guide several times, starting to the Banquet and Dance Palace. The palace is big, five or six zhang longitudinal, more than ten zhang wide, and more than five zhang high. The corners of the house and the hanging lamps on all sides are covered with glass, and there are more than 9,600 lamps. This time, the Dharma Lord held a banquet here, and the preparation was extremely good, so as to show that China is different from other countries. Those who entered the palace on that day had more than 400 princes and ministers and more than 800 women. The Dharma Lord and the back south sit, and there are three floors of halls on both sides, and all officials sit and listen. Sitting on Kunyu and Yu and the entourage are opposite. The musicians play music upstairs, and the syllables are sonorous. Men and women danced more than ten times, the military officials were dressed in red, and the civil servants were dressed in black, all decorated with gold embroidery. The woman's clothes were red and green, and her shoulders, arms, and breasts were covered. Jewels and diamonds, under the item are accumulated in strings, five colors are brilliant, and the brilliance is dazzling. β¦β¦ The Dharma Master spoke very kindly and asked, 'How is Paris compared to China?' It's a pity that it's too far away from China, and it's not easy to get back and forth, is this trip still safe? Kunyu replied one by one, and Yun: "Chinese envoys, few people who go to foreign countries, come to Europe this time, only to know that there is such a victory overseas." Kunyu immediately recited the national letter, and after the recitation, the Dharma Lord was very pleased, saying: "This time I came far away to promote the friendship between the two countries, and to maintain peace forever." Kunyu replied, "The friendship between the two countries and the blessing of the people are long." Then the Dharma Master asked, 'Hello to the Great Emperor of China.' He replied, 'Yes.' The Dharma Master also said: "If you accept the letter of the Great Emperor, you should also have a letter to return." All smiled. The Lord of the Dharma Rotation personally brought him to the banquet. There are many kinds of wine and food, and the food and slaughter are all beautifully dressed, and the lamp is given. Oh, the Dharma was preceded by the Lord's order, and Shen Ke entered the palace the next day. Compared with the return to the apartment, the leak has been four times. β
"On the fifteenth, it was sunny, Shen Ke, and entered the palace gate. The internal and external ceremonial guards will be the same as last night, but there are 60 people in Zhuyi. The palace official clothes are embroidered with gold, and the guide Kunyu and Yu Zhi are waiting. After a short time, the Fa Xian and several officials came to greet him. The entrance is heavy, to the inner palace. The main and then the main sit upright, and Kunyu and Yu sit sideways. When the first lord saw Kunyu, he thanked him, called him the 'savior of France', and awarded Kunyu and a treasure star. I was very surprised, I don't know what the ancestor said. The rear knew that when the French and the general war were fighting, the mage was unfavorable, and the first master of the law got Kunyu's secret report to the general army, so he won a great victory, and was able to recover his land and save his country. After a long time, the first lord asked the emperor of China and the two palaces to be good, and agreed to return another 4,000 pieces of national treasures, donated five shipyards to repair the shipyard, and allowed the shipmaster to build 20 ironclad ships and patrol clippers, and related machinery and equipment, or give away or sell at a discount. At noon, the first lord of the law set up a banquet, and many officials came to accompany him, and the first lord of the law toasted the cloud: "This time I come to France, I hope to return to China, and the two countries will be more and more reconciled." Kunyu thanked him, and the banquet began. β
On the 16th, the French Prime Minister Thiers came to pay his respects. Q: 'How many days have you been here?' Kunyu replied; 'It's been a long time. He also asked: 'What do you see about the customs and customs of our country, which are different from those of China?' Kunyu said; 'The Parisian building furniture is exquisitely made, and all political affairs are of great benefit. The Prime Minister invited Kunyu and Yu to the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives, like the Council of Ministers of the King of our dynasty, is divided into two parties, the court and the opposition, and they live together in harmony on weekdays, but when it comes to state affairs, they hold their own opinions and do not give in to each other, and in the end the vote is won by the largest number of people, and the loser calmly accepts the outcome, and there is no resentment and dissatisfaction with those who continue to suffer. In general, the state and government are hand-in-hand, and their power is regarded as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the minister of the king of our dynasty. Its upper and lower houses are also divided into parties to attack each other, and those who occupy the phase must be echoed by the council, and there are many people who can secure their positions. When Kunyu and Yu Zhiyuan were observing, the members of the parliament were questioning the military department Shangshu, and all kinds of arguments and difficulties were repeated, and Shangshu also answered them one by one. After a long vote, the matter is decided. β¦β¦ Looking at its post office, it is as far as tens of thousands of miles, as close as living in the same city, but sticking the letter on it, the letter office is the delivery, and the income is tens of millions per year. β¦β¦ The administration of the country is to facilitate the people, and to help the country because of the surplus of the people. Kun Yu said: 'Meng Shengyun: The people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, and the West also knows the holy religion, which is for the convenience of the people, and in fact, the benefits of the country are there. The reason why this West is getting rich and strong day by day is also. 'Yes, so much. β
"Looking at Western national politics, from the very beginning, there was a parliamentary council, that is, two parties with the same and different parties, so that each could do its best to investigate and refute in order to determine right and wrong; And the rulers also fought for victory. β¦β¦ The court also publicizes its government to the subjects, speaks bluntly, has no taboos, and the people write to the book, all of which are rewarded. Its customs have been brewing for a long time! β
Hong Jun bluntly recorded what he saw and felt in his diary, and planned to send it to the Prime Minister's Yamen to be engraved into a book for future consultation. The purpose of this change is, of course, to prevent the domestic Qingliu from jumping up as if they had been trampled on after seeing this book.
It's just that Lin Yizhe didn't expect that even if he made such a change, once Hong Jun's diary was returned, it not only caused an uproar in the clear stream, but also almost killed Hong Jun's teacher Li Hongzao.
Beijing, Li Hongzao's Mansion.
"Tao Shi has been here for many days, but he hasn't returned to the book with a word, it's really strange." Bao Ting looked at Li Hongzao, who was sitting there silently drinking tea, and couldn't help but say.
"Zhongtang, don't that Lin Kunyu did some kind of black hand and ruined Brother Tao's life, right?" Huang Tifang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, looked at the room of clear streams and said anxiously.
"Not really." Zhang Zhidong listened to Huang Tifang's words, smiled and shook his head, "If you wait for this kind of work, then Lin Kunyu can't do it." It must be known that Tao Shi is also an envoy of the emperor's order, how dare he come nonsense? β
"I'm afraid not necessarily." Bao Ting said, "This person is deceitful, and he can stoop to the ghost, what can't he do?" β
"No, it won't." Zhang Peilun waved his hand and said, "I have seen the foreign newsprint at the Prime Minister's Yamen, and there are reports everywhere the envoys go, but there is no report of death, which shows that Brother Tao Shi is still doing well." β
"Then why didn't Brother Tao Shi send a single book?" Bao Ting said, "I thought that I was still being held hostage by that surnamed Lin. β
