Chapter 174 This is the courtesy of the new science

(I'm sorry first. I'm very proud of the stutters of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep just wrote them. I thought it was good. After reading the book review, I found that I had used it in the previous book. No wonder I'm a little familiar with it. I'm sorry, I'll make it firmly correct it in the future)

Before dawn, Mr. Descartes had already gotten up, and Descartes little, Emily little, and more than 200 Western scholars were ready.

They all wore Ming-style dresses sent by officials from Honglu Temple.

There are from the inside to the outside.

They changed their pantyhose, removed their tight vests, and removed their complex wrinkled collars. In addition, they didn't have to wear wigs. At the beginning, everyone was still very unaccustomed to it. It was not until they put on the silk robes sent by officials from the Honglu Temple that they generously threw away the dress they prepared.

The underwear is made of cotton, very soft and sweat-absorbing, and the outer robe is made of sky blue silk, which is smooth, close to the body, and cool.

Especially in the stuffy Guangzhou, wearing this outfit is indeed better than a bulky European dress.

After everyone had prepared, Mr. Descartes said to these scholars: "This time we want to meet the emperor of the East, which is an extremely ancient country. Even if we don't like the emperor here, we must respect the civilization here.

For a long time, we Europeans have thought that the civilization we recognize is civilization. Except for this civilization circle, the rest of the places are barbaric places.

It has been a month since we arrived in Ming Kingdom. In this month, I think everyone has a certain understanding of this country. It is obvious that this is a civilized country. Even though I, a stubborn French man, have seen the civilization here with my own eyes and learned about the origin of the civilization here, I have expressed deep respect for this land that can nurture such a splendid civilization.

From a human standpoint, I cheer for the splendor and dazzling Chinese civilization.

From the perspective of the French, such a powerful civilization made me deeply worried.

Because I know that any collision between civilizations must first begin with war!

Whether it is the Babylonian civilization, ancient Greek civilization, Assyrian civilization, Athenian civilization, or Roman civilization, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between them. Only after they fight and destroy each other can they integrate the remaining little bit of Yahui into their civilization.

I think that the Chinese civilization in the East and European civilization have this problem.

The possibility of peaceful coexistence is very low. Perhaps, only after an unprecedentedly cruel war can the two civilizations be integrated.

Just when I thought war was the only means to integrate civilization, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty extended an olive branch to us.

He had a powerful fleet but stopped within the Strait of Malacca. He had a powerful army but did not enter Europe. We can even see from their movements that they were a group of people who cherished the land.

They would rather develop wild islands than rob the wealth accumulated by people from other civilizations through killing.

Perhaps, this has something to do with them having nothing in mind, but in my eyes, this is a concrete manifestation of human noble sentiment.

Gentlemen, I think that at this time, at this darkest time in Europe, we need to try our best to show the light of European civilization in the Ming Kingdom.

Let the Orientals know that we are all people with noble moral integrity and noble qualities, and only by trying to make the Orientals understand that the light of European civilization will never be extinguished can we stand on the same standpoint and have the most fair conversation with them.

We are actually a group of wanderers, or even a group of defectors. No matter what their identities are, I ask all noble gentlemen to show our best condition and welcome the courtesy of Chinese civilization.

People can have different appearances and skin colors, and human nature should be common. I think Ming people will also feel sad when we feel sad, and Ming people will also smile when we feel happy.

So, gentlemen, we don’t have to feel inferior or feel that we need to be inferior, there is no need for this.

I think even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty hopes that the guests he invites are a group of noble gentlemen, not a group of timid villains.

Gentlemen, please stand up your chest and let us witness this great moment together.”

Mr. Descartes' improvisational speech gave these European scholars enough confidence. They began to relax gradually, no longer nervous, and gradually began to talk and laugh.

The officials of the Honglu Temple listened to Mr. Descartes' speech. Not only did they not express their displeasure, but instead applauded under the leadership of an older official.

Zhang Liang came to Mr. Descartes, held his hand tightly and said, "You are so good. Mr. Descartes, you are the noble guest of our Majesty, and the Ming Dynasty needs your teachings.

I also need sir, you to guide us on a brilliant path we have not valued before.

Our Majesty is an extremely kind person. For your arrival, he even learned some European languages. Unfortunately, for some reason, what His Majesty learned was bad English.

For this reason, His Majesty also said that it was his fault to force Mr. Descartes to abandon his native language and choose English communication!”

Heraldry Professor Paris said: "The French language is the most beautiful language. If His Majesty is interested, he can serve His Majesty."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "There will be a chance. You can make your request in front of His Majesty."

Paris bent down and saluted, "This is my honor."

Zhang Liang said to Little Descartes and Little Emily: "As for you two, the two queens have prepared rich pastries in the Royal Garden to invite you to visit."

Little Descartes' face suddenly turned red, and he clenched his fists and opposed: "I'm already grown up, don't eat any exquisite pastries, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Do you think the two queens of the Ming Dynasty are two women who only know how to dance and make-up? You must know that one of the queens once commanded thousands of troops and made immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

And the other Queen, who was once a top student in Yushan Academy, the highest academic institution in the Ming Dynasty, even the Latin language where you feel a headache, was just a small pastime in front of Her Queen."

Little Descartes said stubbornly: "No, I still want to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhang Liang put his mouth on Little Descartes' ear and whispered: "Idiot, your majesty meets your grandfather and all the scholars in the Huangji Palace. There are so many people, what opportunity do you have to communicate with His Majesty the Emperor?

When His Majesty the Emperor and your grandfather and others have finished communicating, you can meet His Majesty the Emperor alone from the Queen.

Why did I teach you such a stupid student?"

Little Descartes looked at Zhang Liang and said, "You haven't lied to me?"

Seeing that the officials of the Honglu Temple had lined up, Zhang Liang ignored Descartes and came to Mr. Descartes, supported him slightly, left the inn where they had lived for a month, and went straight to the emperor's palace next door.

However, Descartes and Emily were sent to the side door of the palace by two sturdy guards.

The officials of the Honglu Temple walked slowly in front. They held their hands in front of their chests, smiled in confusion, and walked steadily step by step. The people behind them walked strangely on the road like they looked.

The journey from Guanshi to Shanggong is very short, only 300 meters.

There is no prohibition on the streets.

When all the pedestrians saw this scene, no one made fun of it, but bent down to salute the huge team.

Since it is an oriental ritual, those European scholars who originally felt very uncomfortable began to take it seriously, and the etiquette seemed to be more and more standardized.

Soon, the group of people arrived at the front of the main entrance of the palace. Two officials in green robe tried hard to open the closed middle door. Two beautiful oriental maids used brooms to wash away the dust under the threshold.

Then he stood on both sides with two officials in the green robe to welcome Mr. Descartes and his party.

"Sir, there are usually only three situations when the gate of the palace is opened. The first is when Your Majesty returns from an expedition, the second is when Your Majesty goes out to worship the world, and the third is when Your Majesty marry Your Majesty.

And this time, the middle door is open for you!”

Mr. Descartes looked at the seven or eight palace gates that opened one after another and smiled: "I am very honored. I heard that there is a saying in your country that 'The politeness must be something for others', but I don't know if I can fulfill His Majesty's request."

Zhang Liang invited Mr. Descartes and European scholars to step into the middle door, but he walked into the palace through the small door on the left.

This palace was built on the mountain. Each palace gate was higher than a palace gate. On both sides of each palace gate were eight tall warriors wearing traditional Ming fish scale armor, holding spears, and wearing long swords on their waists.

Mr. Descartes looked at the warriors with a smile, and the beautiful maid standing in the distance, holding her hands in front of her chest like a stone sculpture.

The royal buildings of the Ming Dynasty were very beautiful to Mr. Descartes, especially the wooden hooks under the tall roofs looked not only beautiful, but also full of wisdom.

The team was walking slowly, and even though it was constantly going uphill, Mr. Descartes didn't feel tired.

A palace is a beautiful view, and the side halls of each palace are also different. At this time, the door of each palace is full of officials with green robes. They look very young and salute to the scholars from afar.

Descartes like this kind of courtesy.

He was a noble person, and he didn't care how much suffering he had suffered. He was just worried that others would underestimate the new subject. In his opinion, the new subject represented by him could withstand such courtesy as the emperor.

Compared to the pleasant Mr. Descartes, Little Descartes was sent directly into the harem by a carriage.

He stood blankly on a neat lawn, staring at the exquisite bonsai around him and various beautifully trimmed shrubs.

Just as he was holding little Emily's hand, a voice that sounded extremely gentle sounded sounded behind him.
