Chapter 97: Emperor Xie Longen (Ask for Recommendations)

"Where is Zhang Tianwen, the envoy of Fanbang, come and receive the order quickly"

In the courtyard of the Zheng family in Quanzhou, under the leadership of Zheng Hongkui, the official of the Honglu Temple shouted loudly when he was about to approach the inner hall, the purpose of his doing this was to maintain the authority of the royal family, and the second was to let the envoys of the state come out to greet him.

Zhang Tianwen had already heard the shouting in the inner hall of the courtyard, got up and walked out to greet him, and the holy decree was usually to come out to greet him, which he often saw in TV dramas.

"The person who came is the envoy of Fanbang, Zhang Tianwen."

"Below is the envoy of the Republic of Australia, Zhang Tianwen."

"Well, very good, Fanbang envoy Zhang Tianwen knelt down to receive the order," the little official of Honglu Temple was very satisfied with Zhang Tianwen's bow to him as soon as he went out, so he was ready to start announcing Chongzhen's holy decree.

"My lord, can you listen to me explain, after the ancestors arrived in Australia after a thousand dangers, they made an oath that the descendants of the descendants will kneel to the sky and the ground, and the ancestors will kneel to their parents, and it is not expensive to see the emperor in the future, so they can't kneel down." Zhang Tianwen said humbly.

"How can this be reasonable, you are the remnants of the former Song Dynasty, you should respect the saint's words, read the sage's book, understand the etiquette, how can you forget these, forget the ancestors, it seems that this Australian land is afraid that it has been uneducated for a long time." The little official of Honglu Temple said with an angry face, and the original good impression of Zhang Tianwen in his heart instantly disappeared, and now he looked at him like an uneducated person.

"My lord, the exchanges between the two countries lie in equality, if I kneel today, wouldn't my Australian country be inferior to the Ming Dynasty, even if I don't accept this decree today, I can't kneel," Zhang Tianwen was also angry, he didn't expect that he really encountered such a bloody kneeling to receive the holy decree, if he knelt down, it would be equivalent to lowering the status of Australia, not to mention, but also indirectly recognized the subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

So no matter what, you can't kneel, even if you kneel down to accept the order, you will be ridiculed when you return to your hometown in the future, and maybe it will be recorded in the history of Australia and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Tianwen and the officials of Honglu Temple seemed to be unwilling to back down, and at this time, Zheng Hongkui, as the leader, could only stand up, pulled Zhang Tianwen aside and whispered: "Ambassador Zhang, you should be wronged and take the order, and there is no harm." ”

"Lord Zheng, do you know, this time, my country is here to make friends with the Ming Dynasty, to form diplomatic relations, if this kneeling, it will reduce the status of our Australian country, which is equivalent to recognizing the low Ming Dynasty, which is unacceptable to our government and people, although the Republic of Australia was unknown before, but now it is also powerful in the land of the South Seas, this is clear to my lord."

Zhang Tianwen reminded him, Zheng Hongkui also frowned, yes, although this Australian country was not very famous before, but now it is very famous, it seems to be the existence of the overlord of the South Seas, even if the Dutch are beaten, they still have to serve honestly.

This thing is really difficult to do, Australians are more proud, I'm afraid that if you want him to kneel, you really can't do it, it seems that you can only do the work of the king of Honglu Temple.

Zheng Hongkui sighed, turned around and walked towards Lord Wang of Honglu Temple, "Lord Wang, see if you can be accommodating, although this Bang Australia has the same ancestor as my Daming, but after all, I have been in the land of Huawai for a long time, and the etiquette is different from my Daming. ”

"Lord Zheng, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you can also be regarded as the emperor's guard, don't say anything if you don't maintain the dignity of the royal family, since you say this, what do you mean."

This Honglu Temple official is also a nerd type of person, and he didn't buy Zheng Hongkui's persuasion at all, but asked a little about his sin.

"Hmph, Lord Wang, if you insist on this, then Zheng will leave." Zheng Hongkui was also very angry, this Honglu Temple Cheng was just a petty official from the third and sixth grades, and he dared to question himself like this, how could he not make people angry.

Although Jinyiwei is not as good as in previous years, it is not that you can be so presumptuous in front of yourself from a six-rank petty official, so after Zheng Hongkui snorted coldly, since he had left since ancient times, he left this Lord Cheng of Honglu Temple in the living room.

Seeing such a situation, what else could Zhang Tianwen say, so he had no choice but to throw off his sleeves and walk towards the inner courtyard.

This can be Wang Xiaoyan to the Honglu Temple, to look stunned, the person responsible for the introduction and the order of the people are gone, the holy decree has not been read, they are all gone, and they are all left to dry themselves here, what is it called, what is it called, so angry that Wang Sicheng wanted to slam the things in his hand on the ground to vent, but immediately thought that this was the holy decree, and immediately stopped moving.

In the backyard, Zhang Tianwen drank tea, leisurely crossed Erlang's legs, and smiled vigorously.

"This nerd, that stupid, it is estimated that Zheng Hongkui is also very angry, and he doesn't give a face from the sixth grade to the third grade, or in front of our envoys."

"Brother Zhang, you said that this will not happen, if we have a bad relationship with Da Ming, it will not be good for us," a young man named Jiang Hong who stayed with Zhang Tianwen said worriedly.

"Evil, what are you afraid of, this Ming Dynasty will be finished in a few years, Chongzhen will also hang himself on the crooked neck tree, and want us to kneel for him, dreaming, if this is a kneel, go back and wait for someone to rub the backbone of life, the minister specially explained when he left, we must be tough on this kind of issue, which is very important for us to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future, little Jiangzi, learn from my brother."

At this time, Wang Sicheng had already returned to the post station with the holy decree, and the entourage served a cup of brewed tea, and comforted him intentionally: "Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, it's not good to be angry, I am afraid that this Australian will be difficult to convince, if it has been consumed like this, and there is no Lord Zheng circling in it, if the envoys of Fanbang really leave in a fit of anger, and do not follow the holy decree, I am afraid that it will really insult the name of the Heavenly Empire, and the adults will have to make plans early." ”

Well, this, Wang Sicheng took a sip of tea and didn't seem to be so angry, calmed down and thought about it, and what he said was right, if the envoy of Fanbang really left in a fit of anger, this holy decree was not accepted, and it was really difficult to explain it when he went back, maybe the dismissal of the official was light, and if someone humiliated the name of the Heavenly Empire in the future, then he would be a big sin.

But if you don't kneel like this, isn't it still insulting the majesty of the Celestial Empire, this thing is really not easy to do, I originally thought that this errand was good, but I didn't expect to encounter this thing.

"My lord, Zheng Du has commanded your lordship."

Zheng Hongkui came, he didn't go with the handrail, what does this mean. Let him in.

"Lord Wang," this is a small gift for you, you see if you are accommodating, whether the Australian envoy kneels or not, you and I don't say it, and no one knows. Zheng Hongkui opened a set of exquisite glasses given to him by Liu Yun and sent them to the Honglu Temple Wang Sicheng, if it weren't for the business between the Zheng family and Australia in the future, he would really be a little reluctant to give away this set of cups.

"Well, well," Wang Sicheng, who looked at the cup and said something good, couldn't put it down when he saw such a Taixi glass cup at this time.

"Since this is the case, then give Lord Zheng a face, and allow the state envoys to bend down to accept the order."

"In that case, this official will take his leave first, so that the envoys of the Australian state can prepare." Zheng Hongkui smiled and walked towards the door, but in his heart he looked down on this Wang Sicheng.

After some arrangement, Wang Sicheng came to the Zheng family courtyard again to proclaim the decree, the first part of the content of the will is nothing more than lamenting that the ancestors of the Australians are not easy to say, and the latter mentions that the king has been lost for a long time, and it has become a country of its own, so it will be treated according to the level of the state, and the Australian people can freely return to their hometowns to worship after reporting to the local county government every year.

The holy decree recited a lot of nonsense, and the last sentence is useful, although I agreed to come back to worship, but the procedure is very troublesome, but the worship is not what Australia wants, so it doesn't matter, as long as you have this grace.

After the decree was read, Zhang Tianwen said that the TV series came to thank the emperor for Longen. Finally took the decree.
