The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

A kid from Hangzhou, out of curiosity about these blond crooked nuts, stepped forward to touch the trouser leg of a foreigner, but was kicked to the ground by the latter in a rage.

The child was crying.

A fierce light flashed in the crooked nut's eyes, and he picked up the child and was about to throw it into the river beside him.

The surrounding people were very angry.

"Bastard! Bully a child! Kill him!"

"What envoy? What quality?"

"It's outrageous! It's so infuriating!"

All of a sudden, the perception of the people in Hangzhou towards the crooked nut envoys suddenly became negative, and the public was excited.

Huang Qiu and Zhu Dachang saw that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the guards to take out their whips and whip them at the citizens.

"roll!"

"How dare you be rude to foreign envoys from friendly countries? You can't afford it!"

"Get out!"

Seeing the officials of Ming Dynasty oppressing and teaching the people for their sake, the envoy of Waiguoren was triumphant, laughed wildly, and pointed at the side.

The people were filled with grief and indignation.

"What friendly country? You really don't treat us people as human beings!"

"It's obvious that they are the ones who are rude!"

"As soon as they see crooked nuts, do court officials kneel down and lick them? Shameless!"

At this time, Huang Qiu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately took the crooked nut envoys to the emperor's dragon boat.

Jiajing had already heard that the British envoys were visiting and were waiting for them.

After a while, Yan Song was also found by someone sent by Jiajing, and he waited by the side.

Seeing Yan Song was there, Jiajing also breathed a sigh of relief: "With Yan Aiqing here, my heart is much more at ease."

He hadn't heard anything about Britain, so Jiajing was still afraid of being cheated. After all, there were such jokes in the Song and Yuan dynasties.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Huang Qiu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Dachang, Minister of Honglu Temple, led the foreign envoys into the dragon boat with high spirits.

But the British envoy was very arrogant. When he saw Jiajing, he didn't kneel down.

Jiajing's eyes flashed.

Foreign envoys never knelt down when they saw Jiajing.

This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty. No matter which envoy is, he must perform the courtesy of a courtier.

Jiajing pouted.

Zhu Dachang was terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "British envoys, you are kneeling down."

The head of the envoy spread his hands and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, our country has never had the etiquette of kneeling... I can only bow to you at most, this is only enjoyed by our empress." etiquette."

Zhu Dachang was very embarrassed when he heard the words, and finally said to Jiajing with a smile: "How about allowing them to follow the etiquette of their hometown?"

Jiajing was noncommittal and agreed by default.

However, I still asked curiously: "You just said...the queen? Could it be that you are a woman in charge of a country?"

The envoy raised his head immediately: "Our Lady Queen, that's really amazing... croak gua la~~"

Jiajing didn't know whether it was out of respect for his peers or curiosity about the queen, but he actually asked the queen's age, appearance, and whether she was married, which stunned the ministers next to him.

When the envoy said that the Queen of Britain was 20 years old this year, unmarried and unparalleled in beauty, Jiajing immediately became more fond of her. He even asked if there was a portrait of the Queen, obviously very curious about the Queen.

The head of the envoy made some nonsense, waved his hand, and handed over a letter of credence, and Wai Guoren pulled a box from behind.The head of the envoy, Wah Wah Wah, spoke a half-baked Chinese, to the effect: "This is a gift from the Queen of Britain to Your Majesty, worth a million taels of silver. Please reward your Majesty generously. Don't tarnish Daming's reputation for generosity and hospitality. "

Hearing this, countless people in the dragon boat frowned.

4.0 Lu Bing and Huang Jin complained secretly.

Even Jiajing's chrysanthemums are tight.

Why?

Because of the reward!

According to the rules of Ming Dynasty, one tribute is paid ten times.In other words, if the tributary party contributed a gift worth 100 million yuan, Daming would reward at least 1000 million yuan in gifts.

Emperor Jiajing was poor.

He didn't even have the money to build the three main halls, so how could he get a reward of 1000 million?

Emperor Jiajing's cold sweat dripped down.

But at this time, he was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the supreme emperor of the heavenly kingdom. He couldn't be ashamed.

Yan Song stared at the head of the envoy.

He always felt something was wrong.
