People like Wu Sheng saw through everything immediately.
Then he said with an expressionless face: "Since your health is not good, don't go. It's not good for this foreign woman to take a bath to avoid contracting diseases."
Xie Xian also came over to persuade: "That's right, Lao Zhou. Food safety is more important than God. Haven't you started quitting? You can't ruin your practice."
"No! I'm addicted to cheating." Zhou Tie lamented, "Besides, I've been here for a long time. Why don't you want to see how you can eat meat? But... I don't like bathing, so I'm really uncomfortable..."
"Stop talking now, the master is here."
Li Yuanzhao and others had finished their greetings and began to enter the city and head towards the Temple Mount.
In the city, Fang Zhengyi accompanied Li Yuanzhao, and the two of them looked around with interest.
Although the two often saw reports coming from the West, the news on paper was never as impactful as seeing it in person.
Almost every time they saw a novel building, the two of them would stop, point and discuss loudly.
The street was blocked with water. Seeing this, Lai Gouer hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, we'd better go to the temple as soon as possible. I have already arranged a residence there. It's a tiring journey, so why don't I have a banquet first?" Wait until Your Majesty and the Marquis have eaten well before exploring the Holy City tomorrow."
"Furthermore, knowing that His Majesty is coming, I have already invited Duke Yalvis of Feka and Hope, the businessman who has been cooperating with Dajing, to the Temple Mount in advance. They are now waiting to be received by His Majesty."
Fang Zheng turned around and glanced at the blocked street and the foreigners who kept sticking their heads out from the corners to check the situation.
He also echoed: "Your Majesty, let's go in first. These things are not important. Let's go and see the results of Dajing's transformation in the Holy City tomorrow."
Li Yuanzhao nodded solemnly.
Indeed, these things we are looking at now are just foreigners' souvenirs. What really needs to be carefully observed is the public sentiment and the influence of Da Jing here.
At present, the Holy City is the basic base of the Great King Operation. If the old church launches an attack and destabilizes the people, it will obviously have a huge negative impact on the Great King Operation.
Whether Da Jing's public sentiment here is as stable as reported, we have to personally investigate and wait until everything is confirmed before planning his funeral.
"Let's go, I happen to be hungry too. Let's try what this foreign vegetable tastes like. Also, prepare more authentic common people food for me."
"I must obey my orders."
.....
There was a lively scene in the temple, with many people walking around and busy inside.
It was originally a sacred place for worshiping gods, but now it has become a place to welcome Emperor Dajing.
Hope and Duke Alves stood stiffly in the hall, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Da Jing.
Not only Emperor Dajing, but also Marquis Jianye whom they had heard from Lai Gouer countless times.
This Marquis Jianye's achievements and deeds seemed to be far greater than those of the emperor.
Due to Lai Gou'er's long-term influence, in the minds of the two of them, he is the real top figure in Dajing, the number one person who can make all the difference.
When Li Yuanzhao, Fang Zheng and others entered the temple, Lai Gouer immediately winked at them, introduced them to them loudly, and quickly walked to the middle to act as an interpreter.
The two Hopes immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I have met your Majesty."
Li Yuanzhao smiled: "It doesn't matter, I've heard of you two for a long time. In the West, I'm just a guest, so you two don't need to be polite. Come and dine with me today, and we'll chat while eating."
After he finished speaking, he immediately started chatting with Pope Sorje again.
The two nodded at the same time, and Duke Alves was secretly surprised.
Emperor Dajing, the monarch of a powerful country, was so gentle and kind.
It was really unexpected.
After saluting Li Yuanzhao, the two immediately walked towards Fang Zhengyi and saluted solemnly again.
"I have met the Marquis, and I have heard of the Marquis' name..."
Fang Zheng held up his hands and smiled and said: "You're welcome. I've heard of you two famous names for a long time. Our success in developing markets overseas depends entirely on our highly capable partners like you. I hope we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." .”
"His Majesty happens to be here today. It's a rare opportunity. If you have anything you want to ask or want to say, you can tell your Majesty. You can also tell me. Tell me everything you know. Don't be reserved."
Fang Zhengyi's easy-going attitude surprised Duke Alves for another moment.
It is really unexpected that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Dajing are so easy-going towards others.
He and Hope were both battle-hardened veterans, and it was easy to tell at a glance whether the other party was being polite on the surface or sincere.
The kindness between these two people is definitely not fake!
Li Yuanzhao, Fang Zheng and others began to sit down. Duke Alves glanced at Hope and asked quietly: "Are you not nervous at all when meeting Emperor Da Jing?"
"Why aren't you nervous? This is a much more powerful person than the Pope."
"I'm talking about their attitude."
"What's so nervous about the attitude? Isn't it good?" Hope asked.
"It seems that good things are a bit too much. Have you seen any country's emperor and church leaders have such an attitude... How should I put it? They don't feel like nobility." Duke Alves frowned.
Hope curled his lips: "What else can you nobles do besides being good at serving? I think Emperor Dajing and the Marquis are very good. We will have to discuss business with Dajing in the future. The fact that they can have such an attitude is enough to show them It’s the best partner.”
"But I feel like it's a bit too much, right? Dajing's country is so powerful that they should be more arrogant."
Hope sneered and looked sideways at the Duke of Alves: "Why do you think like a slave?"
Duke Alves said angrily: "How dare you say who is like a slave!"
Hope was calm and laughed: "Isn't it? There is only one kind of interpersonal relationship in the eyes of slaves. Apart from treating themselves as dogs, they treat others as dogs. Besides being ridden, they only want to ride others. They never know equality, rules, What respect is.”
"I think the emperor and marquis of Dajing are the real nobles and the real strong men!"
The old Duke of Alves' face turned red from suppressing his emotions.
Fortunately, Lai Gouer's voice came in time and invited him to take a seat.
The Duke waved his arm bitterly and took his seat before Hope.
Li Yuanzhao and Pope Sorjie sat side by side, while Hope and Pope sat on the other side. Several people took turns talking to Li Yuanzhao in a friendly manner, and Lai Gouer continued to act as an interpreter in the middle.
The dishes began to be served, and the first dish was delivered to Li Yuanzhao.
The second set was delivered to Fang Zhengyi.
Lai Gouer stood up and introduced: "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, this is what ordinary people in the West eat. The black bread and stew made by the cook from Fika are absolutely authentic."
Just as Li Yuanzhao was about to try, he caught a glimpse of the doubtful eyes of Pope Solger, Hope, and the Duke from the corner of his eye.
So he explained with a smile: "Dajing has spent a lot of effort in the construction of the Holy City in order to benefit the people. The two places are friendly and cooperate. Naturally, I hope to intuitively understand how the people in the Holy City are living now. In this way, there is nothing better than trying it in person. A quicker way to feed civilians.”
"When I am in great prosperity, I want to know how the people's living standards are. I want to taste what the people eat. I will know after one try."
I see!
The three of them, Pope Solje, looked full of admiration.
From small things to big things, there is no wiser person than this...
