Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The grand imperial procession and delegation arrived outside Dongjiao University.

Having been notified in advance, the area had already been cleaned, and the weeds were neatly trimmed.

A long and wide red carpet stretched from the school gate to beneath the dragon palanquin.

The original vendors at the school gate were dealt with gently by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who removed them and their carts... Some simple, self-built shops were also conveniently flattened and redecorated into pleasing lawns, adorned with clusters of flowers.

Naturally, the small vendors were willing, expressing that as long as Great Jing had face, they would be buried anywhere! After all, they were doing business at the gate of Dongda University and had received cultural influence, fully able to consider things from the big picture!

Countless flowers were arranged on the wide open space at the school gate, spelling out the words "The First Great Jing World Games."

Surrounding it were conventional welcome banners written in various languages.

【Warmly Welcome the Grand Opening of the Games】

【Friendship First, Competition Second】

【Welcome Friends from All Countries】

.....

Facing the magnificent sea of flowers, the officials present nodded secretly, impressed in their hearts.

Although they hadn't officially entered the gate of Dongjiao University, Fang Zheng's skill had already been fully displayed!

This kind of arrangement, this kind of creativity, probably no one in the court could imagine.

Although everyone read the books of sages and hated flattery the most.

But they had to admit in their hearts that this thing looked really damn comfortable! Facing so many foreigners, they felt extra proud!

What was Fang Zheng thinking? How could he always have new tricks?

Could it be... that some people really have the innate ability to lick?

At this moment, there were many students outside the school, wearing neat school uniforms, holding flowers and sand hammers invented by Fang Zheng in his spare time, waiting solemnly in rows on both sides of the road.

When Emperor Jing's imperial carriage began to slowly advance towards the school gate, the students on both sides of the road immediately shook the flower toys in their hands, bursting out with amazing enthusiasm!

"Respectfully welcome Your Majesty to Dongjiao University, long live the Emperor, long live, long live..."

Under the crown, Emperor Jing pursed his lips and constantly raised his hand to signal. Although he was in a great mood, he had been trained in this kind of scene and would not easily lose his composure.

When the imperial carriage passed and it was the turn of the foreign delegations, the students who had been shouting "Long live" in unison suddenly began to transform into chaotic and unskilled foreign languages to greet the delegations.

This move was so unexpected that the delegation's formation suddenly stagnated, and everyone couldn't help but wave their hands and loudly return the greetings to the students on both sides of Dongda.

Flowers were everywhere, the fragrance of flowers lingered, and now they had received such special and thoughtful courtesy. Being in a foreign country, they could hear so many people from the host country greeting them in their native language.

The foreign envoys felt unprecedented shock and emotion. Since coming to Great Jing, they had never seen such a grand and enthusiastic welcoming ceremony. They had never imagined that this ancient and mysterious Eastern country would value and respect them, these guests from foreign lands, so much.

For a time, their mood suddenly brightened, and the outside of the Dongda school gate was filled with all kinds of greetings.

Although Emperor Jing didn't understand, he could still see the gist of it, and he raised his hand to signal the team to walk slower.

This short distance took a full ten minutes to complete!

Just as they reached the school gate and Emperor Jing's dragon palanquin stopped, a person from the delegation behind him quickly walked to Emperor Jing's front.

The guards on the left and right wanted to intercept him, but Emperor Jing waved his hand to stop the guards and silently watched the foreign envoy in front of him.

The foreign envoy bowed deeply and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Jing, on behalf of our king and people, I express to you our highest respect and most sincere gratitude. You are the most outstanding monarch we have ever seen. Thank you for your respect and courtesy to us, these guests from afar. We have witnessed the civilization and prosperity of your country."

Emperor Jing was a little surprised. Before he could react, the other foreign envoys also ran up, offering a series of colorful praises.

The ministers stirred and whispered.

"When did these people become so sensible?"

"Oh, they really know how to talk."

"Isn't this rehearsed by Fang Zheng?"

"Impossible, can he even pull off this kind of thing?"

"What can't he pull off!"

Emperor Jing had been maintaining a solemn expression, but after this wave, he was really about to lose it!

The corners of his mouth rose several times, and finally he pinched his thigh and held back.

He slightly raised his right hand and said: "Distinguished envoys, you don't need to be so polite. I am the Son of Heaven, and I take the world as my responsibility. You have traveled across the oceans to seek trade and mutual benefit, enhance friendship, and promote cultural exchange. This is the will of heaven and the desire of the people. How can I not treat you with courtesy and inspire you with virtue?"

"I have always heard that overseas countries have their own customs, political and educational systems, and academic arts. I also wish to have more exchanges with you envoys. I believe this is a great event that will benefit the peace of all countries. Distinguished envoys, do not find it strange."

"Your Majesty is wise!!" the foreign envoys said in unison.

Fang Zheng secretly gave a thumbs up. After all, he was his old father-in-law. He was so smooth at acting, he didn't even need to be taught!

After the foreign envoys returned to their positions, Fang Zheng approached Emperor Jing and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just thought of a word."

"What word?"

"All nations submit and pay tribute! I have read through history books and have never heard of such a scene, which shows that Your Majesty is truly destined by heaven," Fang Zheng said with a flattering face.

"Hmm... Hahahaha!"

The last line of defense was finally broken, and Emperor Jing couldn't help but let out Jin Guan's laughter.

After feeling refreshed, he whispered: "This wasn't arranged by you, was it?"

"Impossible, even if I had a thousand mouths, I couldn't arrange so many foreigners! Although their countries are small, they also want face. Today's performance is definitely from the heart," Fang Zheng said confidently.

He had only arranged one person, and the flattery afterwards was definitely spontaneous!

Emperor Jing felt extremely comfortable and nodded repeatedly: "Good, good! Let's enter the school. Oh? What is this?"

Before, his attention was on the sea of flowers, and now he noticed that there was something extra in the very center of the Dongjiao University school gate, firmly blocking the road.

That thing, whatever it was, was covered with a red cloth, making it look mysterious.

Fang Zheng didn't directly answer Emperor Jing's question, but instead said: "Your Majesty, before entering the school, I have a request. Can you come with me for a moment? It's not far away, and it will be quick."

Emperor Jing didn't ask much, nodded slightly, and ordered to the left and right: "I will be back soon."

After speaking, he got off the dragon palanquin and followed Fang Zheng towards the other side of the Dongda school gate.

After walking about fifty meters, he turned a corner to a deserted corner.

Emperor Jing was about to ask a question when he saw a familiar face smiling foolishly at him, and immediately scolded:

"You rebellious son! The palace has been looking for you for a long time. When did you run here?"
