The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Francis Deco petrified....

Where has he seen such a majestic court?

If there is a disagreement, these old men will go shirtless in person?

"Stop! Stop!" Francis Deco, in a state of embarrassment, managed to break free from the old men who were full of drama, and shouted, "I didn't hear any request from the Ministry of Etiquette, let me kneel to the emperor!"

Jiajing's expression was not good, and he glanced at Li Chunfang, Minister of Rites.

Li Chunfang was not afraid, and immediately came out and shouted: "My lord, please forgive me! But this matter is not the fault of the minister. It is the Spanish envoy Francis Deco who acted recklessly in our Ming Dynasty, and the minister sent him to Tianjin to receive him." Officials from the Ministry of Rites were ignored by him and left behind, without the company of officials, they ran around in the land of Ming Dynasty privately, and ran to Beijing to see you!"

The emperor's expression was very bad.

The ministers were even more annoyed.

Because Daming is a country of etiquette, foreign envoys who come to Daming need to act according to the etiquette of Ming Dynasty.In fact, not only Daming, envoys of any country must be accompanied by the diplomatic department of the other country, or with permission, before they can enter other countries as diplomatic envoys.

Someone like Francis Deco who completely ignores the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, acts violently and freely on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, strictly speaking, he cannot be called an envoy, but more like...a spy!

What if he wanders around Daming and 2.0 spies on the military situation of Daming?

What if he met some people in private and incited the missionaries and Westerners to rebel?

This is a serious violation of the laws of Ming Dynasty.

Li Chunfang said loudly: "Just now, I sent someone to receive him, and once again tried to preach to him my Ming's etiquette and let him abide by it. He already knew that he needs to kneel down to pay homage to my emperor, but he clearly refused! This diplomatic incident, is not Your fault!"

Li Chunfang can be described as old, treacherous and cunning, and she does everything without leaking.

You came to Daming, I sent envoys to meet you, but you dumped him and fled to Beijing by yourself.

You entered the palace, and I arranged for an envoy to go, but you refused after listening to the etiquette.

you……

Chapter 1556 The accompanying emperor is very pretentious, Jiajing is very upset [7]

Jiajing's face was livid, and he stared at Francis Deco with angry eyes, and said with a sneer, "You heard everything I said, Minister of Rites? Is it true?"

Francis Deco was speechless.

He is more cunning than old, treacherous and cunning, how can he, the executioner governor, compare to Li Chunfang, the prime minister of Qingci?

Compared with playing with knives, Li Chunfang is definitely not a good one, but compared with playing tricks with eyes and eyes, he simply doesn't want to die too badly.

"This...it's all true!"

Francis Deco had no choice but to nod.

Jiajing snorted, and the sarcasm in his eyes became stronger: "Then why don't you kneel?"

Francis Deco sweated profusely.

Truth, he really doesn't take it, but he won't do it when he kneels and kowtows!

Not to mention that the Spanish emperor really didn't need to bow down, even if he did, he, the majestic envoy of the Spanish Empire, couldn't bow down to the Ming emperor.

Francis Deco's sense of superiority did not allow him to bow down to Jiajing like this.

He could only quibble: "Well, the Emperor Ming didn't know something. We Westerners have no joints in our knees. Hahaha, we can only bend our knees, but we can't kneel down."

13 Jiajing: "..."

Yan Song: "..."

Prince's ministers: "..."

There was a complete silence in the whole hall.

This reason is quite possible.

Westerners don't have knee joints?Can't kneel down?

Yan Song was amused, he never thought that Francis Deco was so humorous.

A witty young man.

Francis Deco was moved by his own wit: "Yes. Exactly. We only nodded to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"lie!"

A crisp female voice slapped her in the face!

Elizabeth was high above her, and sneered, "Are you bullying the Emperor of Ming, and you don't understand Western etiquette? Well, as the queen of Ying, let me tell the emperor the truth. It is true that Western courtiers do not need to kneel to the emperor when they meet the emperor, but they have to kneel on one knee." Kneel down. What's more, envoys from Western countries must kneel and bow when they meet the Ming emperor. All envoys from my country of Ying kneel and worship. Is this king right? Francis Deco, who has no knee joints?"

Francis Deco's face was so swollen that it couldn't be swollen any more.

clap clap.

The queen herself slapped the face.

See the emperor of the West, also kneel on one knee, the lie of the Westerners without knee joints, self-defeating.

This can't be a lie.

Hearing the Queen of Ying state the truth, the courtiers became even more angry.
