Chapter 174 This is the courtesy of new science

(Sorry first, I am very proud of the stalk of the pig, horse, cow and sheep just after I wrote it. I think it’s good. I read the book review and found that I have used it in the previous book. No wonder I am a little familiar. )

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

All of them wore Ming-style dresses sent by officials from Honghe Temple.

From the inside out.

Changed the pantyhose, removed the tight waistcoat, removed the complicated pleated collar, and added no need to wear a wig. At the beginning, everyone was still very unaccustomed to it until they put on the gift from the officials of Hongfu Temple. After the silk robes, they generously discarded the dress they prepared.

The underwear is cotton, which is soft and absorbent. The outer robe is made of azure silk, which is smooth, close to the body, and cool.

Especially in the sultry Guangzhou, wearing this shirt is indeed better than the bulky European dress.

When everyone was ready, Mr. Descartes said to these scholars: "This time we are going to meet the emperor of the East. This is an extremely ancient country. Even if we don’t like the emperor here, we must respect the emperor here. civilization.

For a long, long time, we Europeans thought that the civilization we knew was civilization. Except for this civilization circle, the rest of the world was barbaric.

It’s been a month since we came to Ming. In this month, I think everyone has a certain understanding of this country. Obviously, this is a civilized country, even if I am a stubborn French stubborn. After seeing the civilization here with my own eyes and understanding the origin of the civilization here, I have a deep respect for this land that can nurture such a splendid civilization.

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

From the standpoint of the French, such a powerful civilization makes me feel deeply worried.

Because I know that in any collision between civilization and civilization, the first thing to start must be war!

Whether it is Babylonian civilization, ancient Greek civilization, Assyrian civilization, Athenian civilization, or Roman civilization, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between them. They will only integrate the remaining bit of tooth benefit into their own after they tumbling and eliminating each other. civilization.

I think that Eastern Chinese civilization and European civilization have the same problem.

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

Just when I thought war was the only way to integrate civilizations, the emperor of Ming State extended an olive branch to us.

He has a powerful fleet but stopped within the Strait of Malacca. He has a powerful army but has not entered Europe. Even we can see from their movements that they are a group of people who cherish the land.

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

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

Gentlemen, I think, at this time, in the darkest time in Europe, we need to show the light of European civilization as much as possible in Ming.

Let the Easterners know that we, like them, are people with noble morals and noble quality. Only by working hard to make the Easterners understand that the light of European civilization will never be extinguished, and then we can stand on the same position and do the best with them. Fair conversation.

We are actually a group of wanderers, or even a group of defectors, no matter what our status, I ask you noble gentlemen to show our best state to welcome the courtesy of Chinese civilization.

People can be different in appearance and skin color, and human nature should be common. I think that the things we feel sad, the people of Mingguo will also feel sad, and the things we feel happy, the people of Mingguo will also smile.

So, gentlemen, we don’t have to feel inferior, nor do we need to feel inferior. There is no need for this.

I think that even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty hoped that the guests he invited would be a group of noble gentlemen, not a group of only promises.

Gentlemen, please stand up your chests and let us witness this great moment together. "

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

The officials of Hongshe Temple listened to Mr. Descartes' speech. Instead of expressing their discomfort, they clapped under the leadership of an older official.

Zhang Liang came to Mr. Descartes and held his hand tightly and said: "You said too well, Mr. Descartes, you are our honorable guest, and Daming needs your guidance from your Majesty.

It is also necessary for you, sir, to guide us on a glorious path that we did not attach importance to.

Our Majesty is a very kind person. For your visit, he even learned some European languages, but unfortunately, I don’t know why, but his Majesty learned bad English.

For this reason, His Majesty also said that it was his fault that Mr. Descartes had to abandon his mother tongue and choose English communication! "

Heraldic professor Paris said: "The French language is the most beautiful language. If the emperor 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 your majesty."

Paris bends down and salutes: "This is my honor."

Zhang Liang also said to Little Descartes and Little Emily: "As for you two, your majesty the two queens have prepared sumptuous pastries in the Royal Garden and invite you to be a guest."

Little Descartes' face flushed immediately, and he clenched his fist to oppose: "I have grown up, don't eat any delicate cakes, I want to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Do you think that the two queens of Daming are two women who only know dance and make-up? You know, one of the queens once commanded thousands of horses and established immortality for Daming. Of feats.

And the other Queen, who was once a high-achieving student in Yushan Academy, the highest school of the Ming Dynasty, even the Latin that you have a headache, this Queen is just a small pastime in her childhood. "

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

Zhang Liang put his mouth on Little Descartes's ear and whispered softly: "Fool, your majesty met with your grandfather and scholars in the Palace of Emperors, there are so many people, what opportunity do you have to communicate with your majesty the emperor?

When the emperor has finished communicating with your grandfather, you can meet the emperor alone at the queen's place.

How can I teach you such a stupid student. "

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

Seeing that the officials of Hongshe Temple had lined up, Zhang Liang ignored little Descartes and came to Mr. Descartes, supported him slightly, and left the post where they had lived for a month, and went straight to the next door. The Emperor's Palace.

However, little Descartes and little Emily were sent to the side entrance of the palace by two sturdy guards in an exquisite four-wheeled carriage.

The officials of Hongshe Temple walked slowly in front. They put their hands on their chests and smiled fascinatingly. They walked steadily step by step, and the people in the back also followed their way and walked weirdly on the road.

The road from Guanyi to Xinggong is very short, only 300 meters.

People are not forbidden on the streets.

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

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

Soon, the group of people came to the front gate of the palace. Two Qingpao officials laboriously opened the closed middle gate, and the two beautiful oriental maids used brooms to wash away the dust under the threshold.

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

"Sir, there are generally only three situations when the central door of the palace opens. The first is when your majesty returns from an expedition, the second is when your majesty goes out to make sacrifices to the world, and the third is when your majesty is married to the queen.

And this time, the middle door opens for you! "

Mr. Descartes looked at the seven or eight palace gates that opened in sequence and smiled and said: "It is a great honor. I heard that there is a saying in your country called'Respect for others to ask for something.' I just don't know if I can fulfill the emperor's request. ."

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

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

Mr. Descartes looked at these warriors with a smile, and the beautiful maid standing in the distance with her arms folded on her chest like a stone sculpture.

The imperial buildings of Ming Kingdom are very beautiful to Mr. Descartes, especially the wooden links under the tall roofs are not only beautiful ~www.wuxiahere.com~, they are also full of wisdom.

The team was walking slowly, even if they were constantly climbing uphill, Mr. Descartes did not feel tired.

A palace is a beautiful scenery, and the side halls of each palace are also different. At this time, the gates of each side hall are full of officials in green robes. They look very young and salute the scholars from a distance.

Descartes liked this kind of courtesy.

He is a noble person. He doesn't care how much suffering he has suffered. He is just worried that others will underestimate the new discipline. In his opinion, the new discipline represented by him can fully withstand the emperor's courtesy.

Compared with the happy Mr. Descartes, little Descartes was sent directly into the harem in a carriage.

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

Just when he was holding little Emily's hand knowing what was wrong, an extremely gentle voice sounded behind him.

"Are you the little monkey who turned the Vatican upside down?"
