Chapter 115
The foreign envoys were shocked by the scene in Qing Dynasty on their way here.
Didn’t the Chinese who returned to China say that the Qing Dynasty was very poor?
Why do you look so powerful now?
The road surface is also very neat and not as backward as mentioned before.
Joseph was the representative of the envoys. This time he came with products and wanted to exchange some porcelain and silk with the Qing Dynasty.
The merchants who brought these goods back from here last time had gained the trust of their country's king, and relied on these things to become the nobles of their country.
It even made His Majesty the King curious about the East.
This opportunity to serve as an envoy was obtained by Joseph at a great cost.
Silk tea and porcelain have become things that their country is competing for.
If it weren't for the inconvenient location, Joseph would have chosen to come here by himself.
This time he came with the princess.
It also means getting married to the Qing Dynasty.
Joseph was originally full of confidence when he came, but as he saw more on the way here, his confidence suddenly disappeared.
The Qing Dynasty seems to be even more powerful than their country.
This road is also very well built.
After all, Qiuqiu said that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads.
When Xiao Yinzhen said this to Kangxi, Kangxi immediately felt that this sentence made sense.
Now that the car has been developed, if the road conditions get better, the Qing Dynasty will be different.
So in the past two years, infrastructure construction has been carried out in various places, making ministers busy with their feet on the ground.
All the figures that were so fat that their waists were invisible have become slimmer.
Xiao Yinzhen came to the imperial study room excitedly: "Ama~"
Kangxi now had a headache when he heard his voice: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yinzhen hugged Kangxi's legs with a smile: "Zai Zai wants to be with you. Go to court~"
Kangxi touched his head: "Why? You didn't even dare to go before."
It's strange that the child is willing to get up so early.
Xiao Yinzhen shook his head and put down Kangxi's hand touching his head, and then said: "Zaizai heard that a foreign envoy was coming and wanted to go and have a look."
Kangxi smiled and touched his head: " I know there is no good reason for you to come to me. Let's go and have a look together."
Kangxi knew the virtues of this group of people, and there were people who came to tell Kangxi about his behavior all the way from Guangzhou to the capital.
Kangxi took several younger brothers with him.
Little Yinfeng and Yinfeng are nine and ten years old, and they are both able to stand alone.
Sometimes when Kangxi was dealing with affairs, he would call them over to listen to their opinions.
I also know something about these envoys.
Xiao Yinzhi, Xiao Yinzhen and Xiao Yinzhi went wherever Xiao Yinzhen went when they first saw him.
So Kangxi was suddenly followed by six little followers, who looked quite impressive from a distance.
However, Joseph frowned when he saw Kangxi coming with the children behind him.
Are these all the emperor's sons? Why are they so small?
Their princess is eighteen years old.
This was a mistake.
The princess would not be allowed to marry the emperor directly.
Joseph was a bit big-headed, and the princess was a lecherous person, so she might not like Kangxi.
Kangxi was already in his thirties. Although he took good care of himself, he was incomparable to an eighteen-year-old girl.
Little Yinreng and Yinreng didn't know that they had escaped because of their age.
Joseph decided to put down the matter and go back to the princess to discuss it and make a long-term plan.
"I have met your Majesty." Joseph touched his chest with his right hand, bent down and performed a knight's salute, and the people behind him did the same.
Kangxi did not show any dissatisfaction, but Xiao Yinreng and Yinyin behind him frowned.
This group of people had entered the Qing Dynasty a long time ago, and they must have some understanding of the Qing Dynasty's rituals. If they still salute like this now, it is really difficult not to make people doubt whether he did it on purpose?
Xiao Yinzhen's childish voice sounded: "Amma, why doesn't he kneel down? Is this dancing?"
Xiao Yinzhen had only seen this action when watching people dance.
Kangxi couldn't help but smile: "No rudeness, please get up, and ask friends from far away to forgive Xiaosi's unintentional remarks."
Joseph felt something bad when he heard the child speak.
He did know the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, but when he passed by other places, he was treated very politely by the local government, and he has always been treated in this way.
Now it was pointed out by a little kid.
Joseph froze immediately, sweating on his forehead, and didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Yinzhen asked again: "...Ama? Why?"
Liang Jiugong waved his hand, and two guards directly pushed him to the ground.
Joseph was shocked and shouted: "What are you going to do to me? I am the envoy on whom the sun never sets!"
Isn't the East known as the land of etiquette?
Doing such a thing now really shocked Joseph.
Kangxi blushed: "Okay, hurry up and sit down our distinguished envoy of the Empire where the sun never sets."
As he said this, he happily held Xiao Yinzhen's hand and sat on the dragon chair.
Everyone immediately understood what Kangxi meant. He was directly supporting the fourth elder brother.
They were too confused to be frightened by this foreign barbarian.
Just follow what the emperor said, when you come to their place, you must follow their etiquette.
This Joseph was so shrewd that they were fooled all the way.
Now that I think about it, I feel like a clown.
Joseph continued to say shamelessly: "Our Majesty has brought generous gifts, and I also ask the Emperor to forgive Joseph for being rude."
After that, he was served coffee, spices, a music box and a magnifying glass.
Just as Joseph raised his face and waited for the admiration of the people around him, he heard the sounds of disgust coming from the people around him.
"What is this? Spices transported thousands of miles away? Can't you see this everywhere?" Ministers have always been curious about what is in their big boxes.
Always mysterious.
Unexpectedly, I packed a box of spices.
What a disappointment.
Little Yinzhen was very curious about the music box.
Because he also gave one to Xiaoliu on his birthday before.
I wonder how this compares to Xiaoliu’s?
Joseph's head was sweating.
He quickly thought of an idea, took out the exquisite and beautiful music box, twisted the clockwork, and a burst of sweet music sounded.
Xiao Yinzhen's ears twitched, oh, it's different from Xiao Liu's.
Xiao Liu tugged on Xiao Yinzhen's clothes in surprise: "Brother! Xiao Liu also has one!"
Joseph heard the child's voice again, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Impossible, this is the latest development of our country. "
It hasn't been spread, how could that kid say that he has it too!
Joseph didn't believe that these Qing people were the best at saving face. Joseph felt that these people had deliberately said that spices were common in order to fool him.
Joseph suddenly became confident: "Dear Emperor, these things Joseph brought are not available in other countries. Even if they are, they are different from ours. If you don't believe it, you can try it on the spot."
Joseph was very confident.
The ministers looked at him as if they were a fool.
They have all arrived at their door. If they have it, they have it. If they don’t have it, they don’t have it. There’s nothing to lie about.
The ministers shook their heads, alas, this foreigner has nothing to look at.
So confident?
Kangxi smiled and said: "In that case, I will ask someone to pick it up. It just so happens that the two countries can exchange experiences with each other."
Joseph paused, and then said confidently: "Of course."
Liang Jiugong directly asked someone to go there. Take out the spices from the imperial kitchen.
The Imperial Kitchen Room heard that it was just to slap foreigners in the face, so they directly transported the things over personally. They also wanted to see the excitement.
Xiao Yinchu’s music box was also taken away.
Xiao Yinchu was very unhappy. This man actually said that the things his brother gave him were bad.
The little guy thinks that the music box given by his brother is the best.
It sounds a hundred times better than what this bad guy has.
Xiao Yinzhen touched his brother's head and kissed his swollen face to tell him not to be angry.
Joseph looked at the little brothers above who were hugging and kissing each other, and suddenly felt that he was not respected.
He was shocked and said: "What are you doing? Kissing each other?"
Isn't the Qing Dynasty very conservative?
There are still people who do such things in public.
When Xiao Yinzhen heard this, he immediately became angry: "What's wrong with just kissing him?"
Really, doesn't he just love his younger brother?
Joseph did not expect that this elder brother was so impolite, and immediately said angrily: "I am very sorry. I feel that I have not been respected. If I request to return now, I will definitely tell the Empire of the Sun Never Sets what happened today. Then the consequences will not be what they are now." This is it!"
Why are you so angry and threatening?
The ministers have never seen such a strange thing in their lives.
There are really weird ones every year, especially many from outside.
He was also angry with a five-year-old brother, and they all looked down on him.
Xiao Yinzhen went down aggressively and stood in front of him: "Okay, if you come one, I'll beat one, if you come two, I'll beat two!"
Joseph was so angry that he almost lost his breath, and the other person was only a five-year-old children.
"You are so venomous at such a young age! You will be punished!" Joseph suddenly stopped pretending.
He took out a fire and gun directly from his arms.
The Sun Never Sets Empire has been deceived by noble merchants and has decided to occupy the wealthy eastern country. This time, it is also to test the tone.
By the way, keep them as internal response, and if the time is right, you will slowly eat them away.
But Joseph, a fool, was so provoked by a child that he showed his true self.
When Kangxi saw the strange thing in his hand, he stood up in shock.
"Protect Xiaosi!"
This hand holds fire and a gun!
Kangxi knew about this thing. Xiaosi had only shown him the drawings before. Needless to say, it must have been made by the mysterious person next to Xiaosi.
Kangxi had gone through so much and had long known that the Qing Dynasty was coveted by all parties.
Just when he hesitated, today came.
Xiao Yinzhen's eyes widened slightly, and then he said directly: "Is this also a gift from you?"
Joseph choked when he asked, "Can you cooperate a little more?" !
He didn’t really want to do anything!
Joseph didn't check for a moment and was pinned to the ground, and the other envoys were also controlled.
The guards searched them for weapons.
Kangxi was very angry. These people were so bold and dared to come to see him directly with guns and fire.
If you see him unhappy, give him a shot!
Kangxi didn't care about the situation and directly asked them to be arrested for interrogation.
How can any envoy carry weapons!
Xiao Yinzhen squatted down and was very curious about this weapon.
Is this what Qiuqiu was talking about?
Qiuqiu told him, but he couldn't understand the drawings and didn't expect to see the real thing here.
