The conversation that day ended like this, and Dong Liangjun, the deputy envoy of Ding Dynasty, and I responded intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, until the end, they still failed to mention the issue of whether to accept the canonization of the emperor of Ding Dynasty. After detecting some clues during the day's conversation, we immediately separated the bedroom of the Ding Dynasty envoy. Sure enough, that night, deputy envoy Dong Liangjun came to visit with the Muland interpreter.
"HahaHis Royal Highness the King of Western Qin is really diligent and is still handling government affairs." As soon as he walked into my "travel study room", Dong Liangjun looked at the pile of books placed in the hall and said to me with a smile: "Your Highness, this Are you looking for a book?"
Seeing this, Min Di, who was recording, stood up and answered for me: "No, haha His Royal Highness's study is like this most of the time."
¡°Wellplease come in, Mr. Dong Liangjun.
" "In the era when I put down the novel "New Rana Green Pictures" in my hand, I really couldn't find any better entertainment besides reading books.
After listening to the Mulander man's translation, Dong Liangjun gave me a slight salute, and then said something, which was probably a proverb or an idiom. The Mullander man could not translate it until Dong Liangjun spoke again. : "Study extensively, ask questions carefully, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and act down-to-earth."
"Haha" I laughed immediately after hearing this, and turned back to Mindy and said, "Can you write it down for me?"
"OK!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? apart out out to study, question, think carefully, discern clearly, practice diligently. If I remember correctly, the original text that Dong Liangjun wanted to express just now should be this. After Min Di finished remembering, she walked to Dong Liangjun. "Please sit down, Mr. Dong Liangjun."
"Thank you! Your Highness." After Dong Liangjun replied, he walked to the carpet and slowly moved the books placed on the carpet. From his careful movements, it can be seen that this man's usual habit of treating books. After doing all this, keep your knees together, kneel down on the carpet, then clench your fists, place them naturally on your thighs, and look forward. A set of movements flows smoothly, appearing elegant and generous. It also opened my eyes to the complicated feeling. In another world, far away from the classical culture of my hometown, I saw the manners similar to those of my ancestors in previous lives. It's not the way the actors in those TV series in the past life acted out, but a person who does such "normal" things almost every day in his life naturally does what he does every day.
Just such a simple action made me feel more favorable towards the Ding Dynasty person in front of me. Of course, this is just for me personally, and from the perspective of ruling the country, how the Holy Rana Empire interacts with the Ding Dynasty in the future depends entirely on their own choices. This is not at all my or the future of the Holy Rana Empire. ruler.
If they choose to be like that envoy. Even if they did not perish under the attack of the nomads. That will also leave a page of blood and tears in their history. This is beyond doubt. And if their choice is to be as cautious as the deputy envoy in front of me. Reserved. serious. And treat these books with the same respect for all knowledge today. So despite all the hardships. Then I can't think of anything that can shake their true self-confidence.
right. Be truly confident. All their admirable qualities from ancient times are integrated into the bone marrow. Confidence grows with them. Rather than the kind of expression. Confidence in living while indulging in self-constructed lies. The former know exactly what they should do. And the latter not only rejects the unfamiliar. They also exclude people of the same tribe around them who do not hold the same views as them. Reject all things and words that can puncture the illusions in their brains. The real standard is judged only by whether it is pleasing to the ear. rather than reality itself. What they need most is not "how to do it" but to find out what they want to see from the past and present as much as possible. Then put it into the world you built in your mind. Live there happily. The meaning of "strong" has only one meaning for them. It means "having face". But they forgot. Build those truly brilliant places. Not them. But seriously. cautious. Introverted ancestors and also remember where their ancestors' confidence originated from.
"I wonder what kind of position Mr. Dong Liangjun held when he was in Ding Dynasty?" After Dong Liangjun sat down. I asked.
"Responsible for compiling history books. Reading them for members of the royal family."
"Oh!" Listen. He nodded slightly. It turned out to be officials similar to those who served in the Hanlin Academy in previous lives. certainly. From what Dong Liangjun said, he probably did not reach the level of a Hanlin bachelor. It just takes on some functions. If you were in the Holy Lana Empire, you would be in the Stone Castle Library at the same time. He served in the Imperial Government and the Imperial Household Affairs Office. Although there is no such position in the Holy Rana Empire.
After understanding it, he then asked Dong Liangjun: "Then Mr. Dong Liangjun isfor the crown prince
History? "
"No, Your Highness" Dong Liangjun smiled and shook his head: "I am not yet qualified to teach knowledge to the Crown Prince. I am just an attendant, and the one who is responsible for giving lectures is the bachelor in charge. However, because His Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, With your kindness, I will occasionally give lectures and readings to His Highness the Ninth Prince."
"Hmmhow old is the Ninth Prince?"
"Thirteen years old, Your Highness, your cousin."
"Hahahaha" Listening to Dong Liangjun's words, I laughed loudly. "Mr. Dong Liangjun is really humorous, but I don't think someone like you would really believe that your ninth prince and I are cousins."
Dong Liangjun nodded slightly, smiled and then raised his head: "The important thing is not 'is it', but 'is it necessary', isn't it? Your Highness."
"I like this sentence What do I and the country I govern need to pay for this?"
Dong Liangjun: "Don't you need to think about how to respond to His Majesty the Emperor's canonization first? You must know that our Ding Dynasty has a habit of not trading with non-subordinate countries."
"What about the Mulanders? They are also your vassal state?"
"The Mulanders are able to trade only if they are guaranteed by merchants officially recognized by our Ding Dynasty, Your Highness. This is because they have had good business relations with our Ding Dynasty since a long time ago."
"I thought you had already figured out how to deal with this matter for me."
After I finished speaking, Minti immediately answered: "The emperor and regent of the Lana Empire will not surrender to any other secular king except faith, unless they give up this honor or are deprived of this respect by others. Rong. Do you think this is consistent with your mission and interests?"
Dong Liangjun: "But who can deprive you of your honor? Your Highness, you have so many troops."
"It's my army, haha Maybe this seems unbelievable to you. But this is the fact, well your habits are like the emperor ordering his army to demolish the temples of the sages and dig up the tombs of their ancestors. The same. The emperor of the Holy Rana Empire can only surrender to the faith that rules this continent, which means the humility and virtue of the emperor to the subjects, but on the contrary, it means abandoning this virtue. Can you imagine that your emperor is What are the consequences of opening the tombs of ancestors? I will not do this whether in public or private. As for the choice, it is your choice.
Although we need the spices, silks, gems, tea, etc. you bring from afarbut compared to the long-standing beliefs in their hearts, those things are not the most in short supply. When they need it, they will find ways to get it by various means. This is all a process of choice. As for the choice, it depends on what choice they think is most acceptable to them. But at least now they absolutely cannot tolerate such a canonization, whether it is with malice or good intentions. "
"Well" After listening to the Mulander's translation, Dong Liangjun nodded awkwardly. "Before leaving, His Majesty the Emperor told me to complete this mission."
Min Di: "Why must it be completed? There have been failures in your diplomatic history. What does this have to do with you?"
Hearing this, Dong Liangjun raised his head and looked at Min Di and I: "Haha, in fact, we have spent too much money on such ocean voyages for decades.
His Majesty the Emperor and many officials hope to stop this kind of voyage that cannot make ends meet. For the people of Dongliang County, if His Majesty the Emperor decides to stop such a voyage, it will mean the stop of the trade route from Ding Dynasty to Muland. When the merchants in Dongliang County brought back rumors about you, His Highness the Marquis of Dongliang and some officials believed that this could save the currently maintained trade routes and even open up this route further, from the Ding Dynasty to your empire. . So after we discussed this matter with Marquis Dongliangjun, we immediately reported the matter to His Majesty the Emperor.
As we expected, His Majesty the Emperor was very happy after hearing the rumors about you, so we embarked on this voyage. If we cannot complete this mission, I believe this will be our last voyage. From now on, you will need to spend more gold to buy tea, silk and sugar produced from our Ding Dynasty. Because even the Mulanders need to buy tea and high-quality silk from our vassal states that have changed hands several times, and then resell them to you.
"And if Your Highness can accept His Majesty the Emperor's canonization, then things will be much simpler. Even if we close all sea route trade, we will open a window for your country. Your merchants will be allowed to trade at a certain port, as long as they go out.?With official documents issued by your country, then they can purchase goods at that port and sell them to the Mullanders or ship them back to your country. Of course, our merchants will also come to your country to trade, if you have goods that interest them. "(To be continued,)
