XIII. Intention Outside the Pen (1)

After the pair of dragon flags, "Jinshi", "Hanlin", "Li Fan Yuan" and other colorful cards mark the resume and majesty of the comer, Ege wore the court clothes of the mandarin duck complement, wearing a cool hat, hanging peacock feathers behind him, wearing beeswax pearls, slowly walked down from the sampan, saw that there was no Vietnamese king's uniform among the flowers, and the original very proud expression suddenly floated a layer of haze, "Where is the king of Vietnam?" Why didn't you come to greet you in person?"

The envoys of the Tian1 Dynasty have come to Vietnam not a small number of times, and since the Emperor Duc of this dynasty ascended the throne, there have been many angels coming, but just like today, it is really the first time that he has been reprimanded with a face, and everyone is lying on the ground, and they have no intention of getting up.

"The foreign ministers respectfully invite the Emperor of the Heavenly 1st Dynasty to Sheng'an!" Nguyen Van Xiang leaned down again and bowed.

"St. Ann!" Ege replied, "When you ask for Saint Ann in the future, you still need to put the Empress Dowager Cixi before the emperor, remember." ”

"Yes." Ruan Wenxiang stood up and stepped forward to talk to Ege, Ege knew the uniform system of the Ruan Dynasty, Ruan Wenxiang was also the first Wenchen among these people, and he should almost be the prime minister, but he was a tall look, not approaching people, rolling his eyes and sneering, Ruan Wenxiang touched a soft nail, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, the angel has such an attitude, he must have a strict reprimand for Da Nan!

Ruan Wenxiang glanced behind him and smiled at Ege, "The angel of the kingdom has descended, and our country is really sluggish, but fortunately, there is an old man of the angel who can come to extend, it is really an honor." ”

He waved his hand, and Chen Wending walked out of the back shift and knelt on his knees again, "Teacher! ”

Ege saw Chen Wending, and the indifference and arrogance on his face really subsided a little, "Why are you here?" ”

"When I heard that my teacher was coming to Vietnam, the students rushed here from Thang Long Province." Chen Wending looked at him with a look of admiration, but he couldn't bear to continue to scold, "You have a heart, get up." ”

The Vietnamese courtiers and officials stood up one after another, and Ege also knew that this place was not the place to speak, "This envoy came from Beijing, and the Queen Mother and Queen Mother have a holy decree to tell the Vietnamese monarch and ministers, and today I will invite the Vietnamese king to come out and read it in person." ”

"Lord Angel, I am afraid that our king will not be able to see the angel today."

"How?" Ege raised his eyebrows and ran angrily, "Is the king of your country unwell?" Or," he said, looking around at the Vietnamese officials, and everywhere he saw them bowing their heads like cut rice, "the king of your country, do you think that my envoys from the Qing Dynasty are not enough for him to meet?" ”

"Angel Wrath!" Ruan Wenxiang hurriedly explained in a low voice, "The king of our country received the edict of the Imperial Court, and for the sake of solemnity, he has started fasting since yesterday, and after fasting for three days, he will bathe and change his clothes to welcome the angels and the holy decree, and there will be no intention of neglecting the Heavenly Dynasty!" ”

"In that case, then the official will wait a few more days, Wen Ding," Ege nodded, and agreed, he turned around and looked at Chen Wen Ding, "In Hue City, are there French?" ”

Chen Wending was stunned for a moment, "There are some French merchants in Hue City," he saw the expression on Ege's face, and knew that what he wanted to ask would never be a French businessman, "The French consul is in Saigon, not in Hue City." ”

"This official came to Vietnam, and he did two things," Ege's voice was not loud at all, almost drowned in the sound of the wind and waves in the port, but in the ears of Nguyen Van Xiang and others, it was almost like a stormy sea, "First, it is to blame the Vietnamese state, not to respect the will of the superiors, not to listen to my orders of the Qing Dynasty, and to sign treaties with foreign countries without authorization!" The second is to interrogate France, and when I meet the king of your country," Ege turned his head and glanced at Nguyen Van Xiang, "immediately set off for Saigon, debate with the officials of the legal person, and do not allow him to show off his military might and interfere in internal affairs in Vietnam, the vassal state of the Tianyi Dynasty!" He walked away without entering Hue City, but re-boarded the mail ship and rested on the ship.

Ruan Wenxiang stood up straight, didn't speak, silently watched Chen Wending follow the mail boat, stood on the dock with his hands in his sleeves and waited, the rest of the officials had different looks, some sent their relatives out to ventilate the news, Ruan Wenxiang sneered slightly, and did not stop it, can these people notify them to go there? It's nothing more than Qiancheng Hall and Saigon! After a cup of tea, Chen Wending walked down sweating profusely, and spread his hands towards Ruan Wenxiang, and the rest of the civil and military ministers all came up, listening to Chen Wending's words with different expressions: "I, the master, don't eat oil and salt, so I really can't ask about anything." ”

"Tian 1 Dynasty," Ruan Wenxiang said slowly, "what are you going to do?" ”

"Oh, Lord Chancellor, didn't the angels already say it? It's our fault! Tobe Shangshu shook his head, "I just said, I can't sign a treaty with the French, how can the Tianyi Dynasty endure this breath?" Now it's good, the French warships have not yet sailed into Hue Bay, but the thunderous wrath of the Tianyi Dynasty has arrived first! "It's hindsight.

The military department Shangshu retorted loudly: "What day 1 dynasty!" Give him a face today and call it an angel, don't give him face, let's arch our hands, just turn around and leave, no matter how we say it, he is also an important minister of the Great Southern Kingdom, he is just a four-grade official! How can you be so arrogant in front of us? You must know that our Great South is no longer a vassal of China! Naturally, we must treat each other as equals," he had never been angry before, and Ege's behavior made him even more angry, "He came to my country, and he had to salute me!" What's the use of a reader besides!? Bah, the French muskets are coming, and a platoon of strafing can kill a dozen! Just by his mouth still trying to convince the French? Dream on, the strength of the French is definitely the first in the Great South! Only the economic, social and cultural system of the French can save our Great South, we accepted the guidance of the French, so that we can have the opportunity to completely get rid of the rotten Qing control, we can achieve real independence, the French just want money and missionaries, and the Chinese want us to have no culture of their own, hum, the French can help us, help our Shoufu and the governor of Thang Long no longer talk to outsiders in Chinese, what a big shame! ”

This is a pro-French faction, hearing the words of the military department's Shangshu, everyone's faces are different, some people are disapproving, some are indignant, some face is contemplative, and some are nodding in agreement. (To be continued.) )
