Chapter 674: Imperial Mind Technique
Lu Duan muttered in his heart, and then saw this exotic people who were like Rakshasa arching their hands forward, and the Chinese etiquette was brought out by this blonde-haired and blue-eyed barbarian, which made Lu Duan feel a little weird in his heart. I only heard that this Yimin actually spoke Chinese that surprised Lu Duan, "Your envoy has come from afar, and I have worked hard along the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Li Sidi, and I have been gifted by Your Majesty to be the Director of Protocol of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, and I have come here to welcome the envoy at the order of Your Majesty." β
"Huh? Protocol? Then I remembered that although this title was strange, it was mostly similar to the position of the Song court who was responsible for receiving foreign guests and envoys. However, he was still dissatisfied with the use of such a 'petty official' by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang State to meet him. He couldn't help but be indignant in his heart, "I came to this foreign country on behalf of Huaxia Zhengshuo, and there was such a petty official reception, could it be that the Tang Kingdom despised our dynasty?" He didn't know what was going on, he was preconceived, his heart was already dissatisfied, and he replied almost in a nasal voice. This made Li Sidi, a naturalized Jew, a little surprised, and he didn't know where he had offended the Chinese envoy.
In fact, it is because after so many years of internal development and growth, whether it is internal or external, it has already formed a set of rules and etiquette of its own. Which department is responsible for which matter is done by the department responsible for this matter, and the other department has no right to interfere. Therefore, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, even if LΓΌ Duan was an envoy of the Song court, he should be received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first. Including food, lodging, lodging, and transportation, and then when the monarch and ministers discussed the time of the meeting, they sent someone to notify the extension.
Although Li Sidi didn't understand the reason, he still received Lu Duan according to the etiquette. Arrange for him to rest in a side hall of the palace first, and tell him to wait for the time being, waiting for the lord to summon him.
Lu Duan naturally understands this set of processes, it is impossible for every country to meet the lord of a country when he says that because you are an envoy, he will meet when he sees the lord of a country. Every country has many big and small affairs, which must be handled by the kings and ministers, and it is impossible to give up everything to receive you because the envoy is coming. Everything has a priority.
Under the guidance of Li Sidi, Lu Duan walked into the courtyard of the palace, and he looked around at this palace complex with a different shape. It is seen that on the left and right sides of it, there are vast buildings with different shapes and exquisite complexes connected to each other with the main hall in the center. Guarded by guards, stone paved with moss (lawns) in the center of the palace complex, there is a spectacular fountain landscape. It is engraved with various reliefs, mostly peonies, and a large number of murals are painted on it. Lu Duan looked at it intently, but saw that the content on it was an endless queue of long dragons.
Behind the dragon is a majestic city burned by fire! In the procession, the young and strong are organized into an army, the vehicles are continuous in the center of the team, carrying all kinds of materials and gold and silver, the old and weak women and children are sitting on the cars, and there are special people driving countless cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock next to the team. At the front of the line, a man and a woman straddle horses and cross each other.
Lu Duan looked over and saw that the man in the lead was dressed in a long robe, with a pendant on his chest, looking extremely young, and his long hair was draped behind his shoulders, Lu Duan recognized the other party at a glance as a pure Han family appearance. And the woman next to her is dressed in an exotic way, and her appearance is also the appearance of a foreign people. LΓΌ Duan compared the scenes in the reliefs with the history of the Tang people that he had learned by 'seeing' and 'listening'. He asked, "Could it be that the figure left in this relief is the one recorded in the annals of your country's history, 'getting rid of slavery and moving westward'?" β
The two of them and their entourage stopped in this relief fountain pool, and Li Sidi smiled, "Yes, it is one of the relief stories of when we got rid of the slavery of the great cannibals under the leadership of the God King and moved west thousands of miles across the sea to build a country. β
"God-king?"
"According to the royal legend, the god-king came to Europa and the Near East to subdue the 'seventy-two demon gods that King Solomon had driven,' as recorded in our Jewish history. By chance, the Tang people who had been forced to be slaves for more than 200 years were found in the city of the Great Cannibal. In his rage, the God King slaughtered the Great Cannibal in the street, and then led the Tang people out of the Great Food City. After that, with supreme mana, he forcibly forced the Great Food to return to the Tang people. And the big food officials, many of whom do not know the power of the god king, wantonly slaughtered and killed the Tang people. Under the anger of the god king, he unleashed the plague in the city where the Tang people died unjustly and slaughtered its city. β¦β¦ Subsequently, the god king led more than 10,000 Tang people who had gathered to go straight to the city of Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food, and forced the Great Food Monarch and his ministers to return the slave Tang people from all over the country, and even demanded countless gold and silver materials, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. β
When Lu Duan heard the previous paragraphs, he was resentful in his heart, and cried out for the Han family's sons and daughters who had suffered humiliation and were slaves. When I heard that there was a strange man who saved the Han people, threatened to eat a big food, and set fire to the city of Baghdad, my heart was full of blood. looked at the relief above with emotion, "Such a majestic man, Lu Duan hates that he is rare in his life, and it is a pity in his life!" β
He said, "Where is the tomb of the god king of your country, I will definitely go to worship later!" As soon as the words landed, he was silent, but he saw the Tang people around him glaring at him angrily, even Li Sidi, who was courteous to him, had anger on his face for the first time, Lu Duan didn't know why, and he was puzzled, "... But what's wrong with my remarks? β
Li Sidi said to him: "There is indeed something inappropriate in the remarks of the gentleman! β
Lu Duan felt inexplicable at the sudden change of tone at this official who called himself, and he said, "Please also give me some guidance!" Li Sidi took a deep breath, remembering that this envoy from 'China' did not know the history of his country, Li Sidi reluctantly forgiven, he said: "The god king of our country is still reincarnated and has not left, he is a god with an eternal face and eternal life." As I have already said, the God-King came to Europa, the land of the Near East, to subdue the seventy-two demon gods that King Solomon had driven back then. He has been out for a long time, and he must have subdued the desperate regions in various parts of the world to find the demon god from hell back then! β
"I really don't know, please forgive me." For what Li Sidi said about his face being eternal and the god of longevity and immortality, he didn't care about it in his heart. In the long history of China, there have been too many emperors who were obsessed with immortality, especially the First Emperor. The first emperor of the ages, who laid the foundation of great unification and laid the foundation of China, swept through the eight wildernesses and six combinations, and it was inevitable that he would be defeated by death. Therefore, he was obsessed with immortality, and spared no effort to build mirage ships, recruit scholars, and go to sea to visit immortals, in order to seek immortality. The children of Confucianism do not believe in themselves, but in fact, in the hearts of many people, they do not believe in this set at all. However, even if he is as wise and martial as the First Emperor, it is difficult to defeat the fear of death. In Lu Duan's heart, he regarded the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty as a figure like the first emperor, but in Lu Duan's opinion, this emperor was even more 'excessive' than the first emperor in the country, so that even if he died, he was still 'alive' in the hearts of his subjects, so that he was even more disdainful of the so-called 'divine family'. In his mind, this was nothing more than a means of domination and domination for the superiors.
In the 5,000-year history of China, it is only right for the ruler to sublimate the ruler to the high position of the Son of Heaven, the son of heaven, to rule you. In Lu Duan's view, this is nothing more than a means of domination, and an application of imperial mental art. The only thing that made him sigh was probably that he couldn't imagine that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his prestige and imperial means were so powerful, even if he had long since 'died' in the hearts of his subjects, he was still alive, but he went out to sweep away and subdue the demon gods located in various desperate regions of the world.
