All the people who participated in the entire "Ming Peace Talks" activity did not necessarily have a high political and diplomatic IQ.

Many princes and nobles came to join in the fun, and even generals like Napoleon and Nelson came to join in the fun.

It is the Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers who are actually involved in the negotiations.

The people who have come to this informal preliminary meeting today to discuss the layout of the negotiation site are these real political and diplomatic personnel.

In the face of Zhu Jianfeng's question, after the scene was a little quiet for a few seconds, British Prime Minister William Pitt spoke "neither humble nor arrogant":

"Your Royal Highness, the kneeling of us Europeans is a courtesy of our allegiance to the sovereign.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, although he is a very noble person, is not a monarch to whom we are allegiated, so he should not use the kneeling salute.

"Your Royal Highness will not force us to pledge allegiance to you, which will make it impossible for this peace negotiation to proceed."

These few sentences are still spoken in Daming Yayan.

This era has not yet developed the concept of the equality of all nations, and there is no tradition of having to speak the Chinese language in a diplomatic environment.

In the vast majority of cases, governments and diplomats choose to use the most common language in multinational talks.

Tessie had been popular in Latin before, and Zhu Jingyuan had been popular in French in his previous life, and then English.

In this era of the Ming Dynasty, the most common language became the Ming Yayan.

In particular, the object of Pitt's communication was originally Prince Daming, and he would directly use Daming Yayan.

After hearing this, Zhu Jianfeng seemed to be very approving and nodded lightly:

"Yes, this king will not force you to be loyal to me, and the only white ghosts this king sees on weekdays are slave girls and eunuchs......

Before Zhu Jianfeng finished speaking, and before Pete next to him could speak, Prince Nikolai from Lucia couldn't help it.

Prince Nikolai was visibly annoyed and said aloud:

"Please don't use the insulting name of a white ghost!"

Zhu Jingyuan sighed secretly in his heart, his ninth uncle really came to find fault on purpose, and at the same time took the initiative to add a sentence:

"Uncle Nine, the white ghost is indeed a contemptuous name, we are negotiating now, let's use the white name."

Before Zhu Jianfeng could speak, Prince Nikolai spoke again, but this time his attitude was different.

He bowed his hand to Zhu Jingyuan slightly, and reminded him kindly:

"So that His Royal Highness the Prince of Osakae knows that young people in Europe now generally think that "white" is a discriminatory term.

"It's discrimination against people from the Nordic countries who are overly fair-skinned.

"The most plausible name would be Europa, Ctessi."

At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan was a little stunned, and "white" turned out to be a discriminatory term?

But after a little thought, I quickly guessed the logic.

White in this world does not equal excellence, and the best people here are Ming people, which has nothing to do with color.

Although the Ming people are also whiter, they are not the miserable whiteness of the Taixi people, and they do not call themselves white.

In an era of rising nationalism, calling a person white or black can really be seen as discrimination by sensitive people.

In fact, names with colors can be discriminatory, but the world is discriminated against by white and black.

It's white people, it's black people.

A little observation of this evaluation system reveals a detached group.

The Ming people in the middle have a certain dominant position, and they can stand on the commanding heights as a matter of course and point fingers at other ethnic groups.

The key problem is that those who are evaluated in this way still feel that this evaluation is very correct.

Yes, their Taixi people are indeed white, and those Mozhou people are indeed as black as ink, and only the Ming people are peaceful and gentle as jade.

So they just hope that the Ming people will be polite and not directly call them white people on the surface and in language.

In Zhu Jingrong's view, the most reasonable title should indeed not be colored, but called by a representative region.

However, the choice of geography can also be discriminatory and deliberately misleading.

For example, referring to them as Lucian instead of Europa would probably make most of the western Tessie very uncomfortable.

When Zhu Jingyuan was thinking about social logic, Zhu Jianfeng next to him immediately added:

"You are already red-haired and green-eyed, with pale skin, long hair, and a stinking smell, are you really like a ghost, and you don't want people to talk about it?"

As a result, among the representatives of the feudal kingdom and the imperial village in the back, a burst of laughter immediately broke out that was not too suppressed.

Obviously, they all feel that what His Royal Highness the Prince said is too right.

The representatives of the Northern Yin Continent and the Southern Mo Continent, the representatives of these vassal states with potential separatist tendencies, were in a somewhat complicated mood at this time.

If you really leave the wings of the Ming Dynasty and go out to build an independent country, what kind of status will it be in the world?

Can it be a little higher than the Ctessi Kingdoms? Will it be denounced as a barbarian by the Ming Dynasty?

The representatives of Taixi immediately glared at Zhu Jianfeng, and a few of them twisted their bodies as if they wanted to "brush their sleeves away".

Zhu Jingyuan, as the leader of the theoretical Ming delegation, hurriedly stood up at this time to make peace with both sides:

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, my ninth uncle is straightforward, and Uncle Nine, don't be entangled.

"The negotiations have to continue, otherwise we will all run in vain today, let's change the topic......

This persuasion is actually not very polite, that straightforward meaning, doesn't it agree that what your ninth uncle said is right?

Now it's just that I'm worried about the feelings of the Tessie people that I forcibly hold back?

But this forcible endurance has already made the Taixi people a little "moved", and His Royal Highness the Great Food King is really a little angel.

Then both sides seemed to be really persuaded by Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jianfeng really changed the topic here, but this topic is also very sensitive:

"Then how do you Siyi, when you meet the monarch of another country in Tessie, do you salute?

"How did I hear that you all kneel?

"You kneel down to the other Tessie kings, even if they are only the kings of a small country, or even just the Grand Duke.

"But now when facing me, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and my nephew Jingyuan, the king of the Great Food Country of the Ming Dynasty, you don't take the initiative to kneel.

"Do you want to show that your king is qualified to be equal to our Ming Emperor? Your country is equal to our Ming Dynasty?

"If that's the case, why did you still form the Anti-Ming Alliance of Narausch? You have to face us directly!

"British, do you dare? Lucia, will you do it?"

Zhu Jianfeng's words were not particularly loud, but they made several Taixi princes a little unbearable, and they all subconsciously took a step back.

The status that Zhu Jianfeng said was actually what the Taixi countries wanted, but they didn't dare to say it in front of the representatives of the Ming Dynasty.

In the current world's consistent general perception, the status of the kings of the Taixi countries is originally equal to that of the Prince of Daming.

This anti-Ming war directly proved this point.

The whole Tessie was tied together, and it was only after he and Daming that he was tied, and in the end he had to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

Although this war gave the Tessi status, the Tessians themselves thought that they had escaped their barbarian status.

But this identity is still not very high, and it also makes it clear that the status is lower than that of Daming.

Before the war, they could still stalk their necks and forcibly confront Da Ming alone, but not now and in the future.

Although they all yearn for the kind of position that is directly opposed to the Ming Dynasty, they actually don't have the courage to face the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

After a brief silence, British Prime Minister Pitt spoke, the de facto presiding officer of the Anti-Ming Alliance:

"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't need to be angry, we just know that there is a truth in the Ming tradition that guests are as they are entertained.

"So in the Ming Dynasty, we used the usual etiquette of the Ming Dynasty."

Pete's words are actually not very confident.

He was actually ready in his heart, and gave Zhu Jianfeng and Zhu Jingyuan's uncle and nephew two to kneel and salute respectively.

They used to kneel to their own king, and the other kings of Tessie also knelt several.

Kneeling down to Prince Ming is actually not uncomfortable in my heart.

Now they just want to elevate the status of the Taixi countries as much as possible, so that they can be more powerful in the formal negotiations.

If it were replaced by other ordinary people in Taixi, Prince Ming might still feel honored.

As a result, now Zhu Jianfeng directly restrained his momentum and did not continue to compare with him:

"Okay, then let it be, that's actually good......

Then Zhu Jianfeng shut up directly, and the representatives of the western countries were a little confused.

Zhu Jingyuan reacted instantly, and immediately followed the stubble left by Zhu Jianfeng, and greeted everyone with a smile:

"In that case, let's sit down quickly, and let's start discussing......

At this time, the princes and representatives of the Taixi countries suddenly reacted that the "guest is as you go" just now was a pit.

They were supposed to protest against the seating arrangement at the scene, so they refused to sit down.

Now Pete took the initiative to say that he was a guest, and then Zhu Jianfeng directly gave a stamp to confirm.

Then Zhu Jingyuan pulled everyone to sit down......

Do you sit down as you please?

Zhu Jingyuan had already sat down, at the top of the huge conference table, which was the position of the master in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jianfeng always sat at the head of the left side, which was the position of the most honorable courtier in the Ming Dynasty.

The other representatives of the Ming court and the vassal states were lined up below Zhu Jianfeng, all on the left side of the venue.

The rest is the position on the right, where the guest is now sitting.

The delegates of the Tessie countries were embarrassed again.

Zhu Jianfeng looked at the place where the Taixi people did not move, and couldn't help but urge:

"What's wrong? Why don't you sit? Didn't you just say that? The guest is as he pleases, and he doesn't accept it now?

"You barbarians, there is really no bottom line and standards, can this king still believe in the sincerity of your truce?"

Several Taixi ministers were very helpless and aggrieved, brewing emotions and words, ready to find suitable words to confront Zhu Jianfeng.

If you really can't do it, you really go back to the previous stage and kneel, and then come back to continue to pay attention to the problem of position.

Kneeling is nothing, and in fact it does not particularly affect the status of the Tessie countries, but the seat of the negotiation must be contested.

It is impossible to be set by Zhu Jianfeng, so he gave up paying attention to the seat.

But at this time, the younger brother of the Austrian emperor, Archduke Karl, noticed the problem with the layout of the site.

Next to Zhu Jingyuan, who had already sat down, there was another vacant seat.

So Archduke Karl asked:

"May I ask His Royal Highness Prince Daishi, which representative is the place next to you?"

It's finally here.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the location of Rome, and thought of all kinds of stalks about Rome in his previous life, and he couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart.

But now is a very serious occasion, Zhu Jingyuan strives to maintain a serious posture:

"This is for Rome."

As soon as Zhu Jingyuan said this, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed.

Representatives of several Tessie countries, several princes, princes, and grand dukes came to the spirit.

I don't know how many people asked in unison at this time:

"Which Rome are you talking about?"
