Xiao Letian keenly discovered that since leaving Port Said, when Zai Chun faced the enthusiastic reception from various European countries, the thirteen-year-old kid became a little swollen.
This is not to blame him. After all, this is the first time in human history that a Chinese emperor visits Europe. This event is destined to go down in history. Even if European countries have no good impression of the Qing Dynasty, they must show their respect for etiquette considerations. Show enough respect and be welcoming.
Most people live an extremely dull life. Even emperors, generals, ministers, politicians and ministers cannot guarantee that everyone will be remembered in history.
It is the luck of a politician to be able to truly record a historic event in the annals of history. In fact, it is also the luck of a king. There are many unknown monarchs in human history.
This opportunity is rare. Who among these monarchs and politicians doesn’t want to get involved in such a major historical event? When these successful people at the top of the pyramid are already rich and want nothing, their greed for fame becomes the strongest.
After they are tired of enjoying endless glory and wealth, gold and silver, beautiful women and beautiful houses, they will naturally enter a higher level of needs, which is to leave a name in history.
Here we have to talk about the gap between the East and the West. Europeans do not believe in eternal life. This is related to their religion. Therefore, no matter how powerful people in Europe are, they only seek health and not longevity.
Only people in China, that is, people in the Asian cultural circle, can seek immortality!
Since none of these extremely wealthy and powerful people in Europe has immortality, their final pursuit is only fame.
Differences in culture lead to differences in national conditions. We cannot say who is right or wrong, but one thing cannot be denied. In the Eastern cultural circle, many elites practice in seclusion.
Many elites began to pursue cultivation and truth within their hearts, and gave up worldly things. The European elites can only choose to be born in the world. They struggle around in the world to think about various social problems and solve various contradictions.
Because the European elites do not seek immortality or cultivation. What they want is fame and wealth in the secular world, especially fame. Therefore, the Western world generally has more elite talents to deal with social affairs than China in the Middle Ages.
Not to mention anything else, there were countless high-level intellectuals in ancient China who escaped into Buddhism.
Because of this, elite politicians from various European countries, no matter what they said on the surface, faced the historical event of Emperor Tongzhi's visit to Europe with extremely high enthusiasm.
Except for a few countries with grievances, almost all the remaining European countries sent invitations to the Zhiyuan. Although they knew very well that Zai Chun could not travel throughout Europe, this attitude was necessary.
Telegrams like snowflakes flew to Zai Chun. In the past few days, the little emperor was completely stunned by the kind words of praise. Not only that, many countries along the Mediterranean have sent their own dignitaries and high-ranking nobles to go to the sea to see him in person. Emperor Tongzhi can be said to have given him enough face.
The rolling flattery rushed towards Zai Chun like wind and thunder. How could the young man not be inflated? In the past few days, he went to the bow of the ship to install the statue. In fact, he was enjoying the feeling of being sought after by thousands of people.
Xiao Letian had long seen that something was wrong with Zai Chun, and he had to go and beat him up. During this state visit, Zai Chun was destined to be the protagonist in diplomatic situations, and he had to take a back seat. On many occasions, he could only rely on Zai Chun to hold up the scene. .
Every word, deed, and move in Europe will be recorded in the history books. If something embarrassing happens, it will be remembered forever.
"Congratulations! I now authorize you to supervise His Majesty 24 hours a day, and make sure that he maintains his royal demeanor! Don't be so rough!"
Now Zai Chun is afraid of his master. His butt still hurts from the beating with a belt and stir-fried meat a few days ago. If it weren't for Doctor Huang's effective ointment, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed at this moment.
As soon as he heard that the master had granted special privileges to Da Sixi, his face immediately turned bitter. Da Sixi quickly kowtowed to Xiao Letian to thank him, and then said to His Majesty, "Master, the head of state is right. Thousands of people will want to see you when you arrive in Europe. You have to maintain this imperial demeanor!"
"Come on, come on... Master, take a deep breath and stay calm. No matter how enthusiastic the other person is, you have to treat him as a matter of course and don't be emotional..."
"Okay, okay, master, take a deep breath... look a little calmer, a little lighter, don't give them a good look..."
At this moment, a merchant ship flying the Spanish flag directly in front of the fleet passed by the fleet. Far away, the sailors saw the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty.
The sailmasters climbing on the mast and the sailors on the deck took off their hats and waved to the Zhiyuan, "Look... that's the legendary Zhiyuan, and the Emperor of China is on it... Long live!"
“Welcome to Europe… Long live!”
This was the heartfelt cheers of the people. Zai Chun's face suddenly turned red. He excitedly raised his hand and waved back to the merchant ship.
"Your Majesty, please put your hands down! These are a group of untouchable sailors. You are welcome. Just look at them levelly and you will give them face. There is no need to wave..."
"It's over, you've passed your etiquette...Okay, okay, just smile and nod like this!"
Xiao Letian looked happily at Zai Chun who was undergoing training, gave Da Si Xi an encouraging look, then turned and walked into the cabin. When he looked up, he saw Xiang Ying looking at Zai Chun coldly from behind the glass of the cockpit. I don’t know what is being muttered in my mouth.
"Why is this kid becoming more and more at odds with Zai Chun? It's true that enemies have raised their heads..."
After returning to his cabin, not five minutes later, Wang Huaiyuan knocked on the door and said excitedly, "Secret message, Prussian Wing King sent a secret message... It was just deciphered, good news!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Letian put down the towel to wipe his face and asked.
"News from London! News from London... Fang Guan is so amazing, so amazing, he actually met that person! Not only that, she also established a connection with Northern Ireland..."
"What?" Xiao Letian was stunned. He never thought of a tentative suggestion. He had never thought of a successful plan, but he actually let Fang Guan do it. This was really an unexpected gain.
"Have a meeting, have a meeting right away! What a good start, a good start!"
In a short time, Xiao Letian's cabin was filled with Chinese officials who were qualified to listen to such high-level secrets. Of course, Zai Chun was not among them. At this moment, the little emperor was at the bow of the ship, accepting the cheers and greetings of merchant sailors from various European countries.
When Xiang Ying left the cockpit and prepared to attend the high-level meeting, he sneered at Zai Chun and laughed in his heart, "It's just a wood carving and clay sculpture. Go on and practice your etiquette, haha..."
