Alien King

Chapter 268

At this time, Ruan Ji and the workers were sound asleep in the workshop.

Thinking that it must be because of rushing to make bayonets, they stayed up all night.Ye Tian also felt a touch of emotion in his heart.Silently looking at these workers, Ye Tian turned around and quickly walked out of the gate of the Royal Trade Union.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Tian first came all the way to the west gate.

At this time, outside the west city gate, the guards of honor from the Ministry of Rites and Administration had already stood on both sides of the avenue outside the city gate according to the hour.

After getting off the carriage, Ye Tian walked outside the city gate, looking at the well-groomed team, Ye Tian curled his lips, thinking that no matter what he said, Yang Qi's case should save himself some face.

Although the Yang Qi case did not tell Ye Tian some key reception details after the Erka mission arrived at Yingtai, at least the Ministry of Rites and Politics did a decent job on the road from the west gate to Yingtai.

On the one hand, the emperor personally issued an order in the morning, asking the Ministry of Rites and Government to cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be responsible for the reception, and Yang Qi's case did have this responsibility.On the other hand, he was only responsible for the guard of honor from the west city gate to Yingtai, and ignored the more critical matters of reception at Yingtai. Yang Qi's case could be regarded as fulfilling his subordinate's responsibility to Qin Ruhua.

Satisfied with the guard of honor outside the West City Gate, Ye Tian got on the carriage again, returned to the West City Gate, and followed the West Gate Avenue all the way to the Ministry of Rites and Politics.

The Ministry of Rites and Administration is located in a majestic palace in the west of Beicheng. On the side of the palace, there is a very large circular platform called Yingtai. It is the place where the emperor of Tiangong Empire received foreign royal family members.

There are hundreds of steps under the winning platform, each step is two feet wide and [-] meters long, which set off the entire winning platform with a majestic and domineering momentum, looking down on the world.

In front of Yingtai is the Liujin Avenue leading to the gate of the imperial palace.In Ye Tian's cognitive structure, Liujin Avenue is just like Chang'an Street.From east to west, there are various ministries under the Government Affairs Council, the Imperial Palace, and various ministries under the Military Affairs Council.

At this time, Ye Tian was sitting in a carriage, along the Liujin Avenue, all the way to the bottom of the winning platform.

After getting out of the carriage, he raised his head and looked at the towering Yingtai, Ye Tian suddenly felt that this Yingtai was simply the replica of the China Millennium Monument on Chang'an Street in his previous life.

Moreover, the distance between Yingtai and the Imperial Palace is exactly the same as the distance between China Millennium Monument and Tiananmen Square.

Watching the military parade on the winning stage, and at the same time let the Shenji Battalion line up on Liujin Street, it just met all the conditions and requirements of Ye Tian for the military parade.

At this time, Ye Tian walked up the steps one by one, and after standing on the winning platform, Ye Tian found that the old man in Yang Qi's case was really interesting to him.

A corresponding 36 dragon flags have been set up around the entire winning platform at this time.In the center of the platform, there is also a large round carpet with a rusty dragon pattern.

The wide seats around the edge of the platform have already been replaced with fresh cloth covers at this time, and the two seats in the middle where the emperor and Prince Ivan sat have also erected a sunshade canopy above them.

The position of the entire seat, along the edge of the winning platform, is in the shape of a semicircle.On the left are Emperor Tiangong and his ministers, and on the right are Prince Eka and members of the mission.

Looking at the winning platform that was basically arranged in a decent way, Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, and thought he turned around and took two more Ye's Compound Power Oral Liquid to honor the old man.

At the same time, Ye Tian's mind is clear, and he can see the good intentions of the old man Yang Qi'an. The 36 dragon flags and the carpet embroidered with dragon pictures are all symbols of the emperor.

Yang Qi'an prepared these in advance, making it clear that he respected the status of the emperor, rather than deliberately helping Ye Tian.Even if Qin Ruhua saw it, it was reasonable.Qin Ruhua's meaning was very clear, he wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Ye Tian, ​​not really embarrass the emperor.

The parasol above also reflects the respect and love for the emperor.

Ye Tian watched all this with satisfaction, and then pretended to go to a large seat next to the emperor, lifted up his clothes, sat down, crossed his legs, and imitated that in his previous life, when the country's leaders received foreign guests. With a dignified demeanor and the appearance of talking gracefully, he said a few words to himself.

After appreciating and experiencing himself for a while, Ye Tian suddenly lost interest again.He raised his head and looked at the sky, it was still early, although the winning stage had been newly decorated, it was such a large area, Ye Tian was alone at this time, there was no one to speak.

Sitting on the chair, Ye Tian's eyelids suddenly became heavy.

Last night, I worked on the magic releasing machine all night. Although it was finally successfully developed, it was still a long way from miniaturization. At this time, Ye Tian's head was a little dizzy.

Looking again at the red sun that had just risen from the eastern sky, Ye Tian's eyelids drooped and he fell asleep.

Half an hour later, a sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly woke up Ye Tian.

After taking a nap, Ye Tian opened his eyes and quickly stood up from the chair.From the west side of Liujin Avenue, a group of soldiers came slowly, with a gilded sedan chair in the middle.

In front of the sedan chair, there were soldiers holding a hundred gongs, beating non-stop.

At first he thought it was the Shenji Battalion, but Ye Tian knew that the Shenji Battalion should follow the Erka Mission.Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, he turned out to be a member of the Military Academy.

In fact, among the people from the Military Affairs Academy, there were not many soldiers, only a dozen or so.Mainly the generals at all levels of the Military Affairs Academy, as the attendees who received the Russian-Korean mission, officials above the ministerial level of the Military Affairs Academy must accompany the emperor to the scene.

At this moment, Ye Tian saw that the big gold-plated sedan chair in the middle was slowly stopping in front of the steps below the winning platform, and Lin Chengzhou walked out of the sedan chair with a solemn face.

"Hmph, this old dog." Ye Tian rolled his eyes and said something to himself.

At the same time, a group of people also slowly approached from the west side of Liujin Avenue.

Their attire is basically blue or white. Compared with the gray or black style of the Military Academy, it looks much more eye-catching from the outside.

Don't even think about it, it must be someone from the Government Affairs Council.

The ivory sedan chair that Qin Ruhua was sitting in must have been more expensive than Lin Chengzhou's gilded sedan chair.

The people from the Government Affairs Council walked under the winning platform, all of them held their heads high, as if they looked down on the people from the Military Affairs Council.Seeing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing, thinking about how many grievances this pair of old enemies had had before he traveled here.

Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua stepped onto the platform one after another, without saying hello to each other, they just walked to the chair they were supposed to sit on and sat down.

The guards and servants next to him immediately served the tea bowls, and the two old guys squinted their eyes while drinking tea, and they actually regained their senses.

Ye Tian watched from the side, his teeth itching, thinking that these two old dogs would really fucking enjoy it.

Just then, a long horn sounded.

Ye Tian turned his head and saw that on the west side of Liujin Avenue, a group of chariots were slowly driving towards Yingtai along the avenue.

Judging by the attire of the team, they were obviously from the palace.And the leading man riding a tall horse was none other than Zhao Zhentian.

Ye Tian stared, knowing that the person in the chariot was none other than the emperor of Tiangong Empire.

Hurry down the steps, Ye Tian stepped forward to greet him.

Seeing the emperor arrived, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua also put down the tea bowls in their hands, walked slowly down the steps one by one.

The chariot came to the steps and stopped slowly.The emperor walked out from the curtain, got off the chariot, and came to Ye Tian.

Zhao Zhentian had already dismounted from his horse, and behind him, Chu Yue and Chu Yu, a pair of princesses and sisters, also got off the carriage one after another and came to the emperor's side.

First, he raised his head and looked at the 36 dragon flags waving face to face on the winning platform. At this time, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua had only descended half of the steps. The emperor nodded and whispered to Ye Tian: "Well, to open the case!" It's quite compatible with you, I thought at first, with Ruhua's signal, today's winning stage must be bare and unprepared for anything."

Hearing the emperor's words, Ye Tian chuckled, looked back at Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua who were still some distance away, and also lowered his voice and said: "Even if the Ministry of Rites and Political Affairs doesn't give face to the ministers, the emperor's face, if you want to come to Yang Qi's case, it's still worth it." Don’t have the guts to leave it.”

The emperor laughed, and the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers was unspoken.

Lifting his feet, the emperor walked up the steps.

Ye Tian accompanied them and walked onto the winning stage together.

At this time, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou had just walked down the steps, and before they had time to greet the emperor, the emperor walked up the steps again.The two had to turn back and walk up the steps again.

Although this move was very small, to Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, it was very subtle.

When did the emperor learn to be so slow and despise the two most powerful ministers of the empire?
They looked at each other, but they didn't see any important information.Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, with gloomy faces, followed the emperor up the steps step by step.

The emperor went straight to the large dragon chair with the golden dragon flag hanging on it, and sat down.At the same time, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou sat on the chairs on the left side of the emperor one by one.

At this time, Ye Tian also fully understood the setting of the order of seating.

The reception of foreign guests in the empire follows the principle of high left and low right. Therefore, the emperor of the host country usually sits in the first seat on the left, starting with the emperor, and then to the left, followed by the minister of state affairs, the minister of military affairs, and his subordinates. The positions of ministers of various ministries.

Starting from the chair on the right of the emperor, it is reserved for visiting countries.

This sitting order is almost exactly the same as when Ye Tian was in his previous life, when state visits or foreign guests were received, state leaders sat in a semicircle.

At this moment, the emperor took the tea bowl handed over by the little eunuch, took a sip, then raised his head, glanced at Ye Tian, ​​and said, "Ye Qing, have you prepared the reception etiquette properly?"

Ye Tian was suddenly a little apprehensive, but he didn't dare to tell the emperor directly that he had no clue about the reception at Yingtai.

After a brief pause, Ye Tian said: "Your Majesty, since the matter of reception has been arranged by the minister, according to the minister's idea, I don't want to use the previous method of reception. I want to be creative and adopt a new style of etiquette."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, the emperor was a little surprised. He raised his head, looked at Ye Tian, ​​and asked, "What kind of new etiquette?"

Ye Tian continued: "Your Majesty, the Eka people have come here this time, bringing with them a troupe of demon mages and magic guides. It can be said that they are powerful and aggressive. Judging from experience, they must have come to the capital to show off their might , and then use the martial arts tournament to severely injure our warriors and mages, in order to force us to sign the land cession of Beilao Pass or Tianyang Pass.”

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, Ye Tian's words hit the emperor's mind.
