Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

When the envoys from the European countries came to Wei, Jia Qi had just celebrated his father's anniversary.

Jia Amnesty died when Jia Qi was 37 years old.This year, Jia She was in her eighties, but Mrs. Xing was not even in her sixties.The day before Jia She's departure, he was in very good spirits. He even called his children and grandchildren to him and explained a lot of things. He even asked Jia Qi to adopt his second son to the Lin family, which caused Lin Daiyu to shed a lot of tears.

That night, Jia She died in his sleep, with a smile on his face when he died.

When Jia Amnesty passed away, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, and Jia Qi wanted Ding You to go home to observe his filial piety. The empress dowager wanted to win back her love, but Jia Qi refused.Jia Qi said that Jia Amnesty is different from Jia's mother. After all, Jia's mother is a grandmother. As a grandson, she is still the youngest one. Jia Qi only needs to guard for one year, but Jia Amnesty is Jia Qi's biological father. Jia Qi's success today is inseparable from Jia Amnesty's protection, connivance and support.Therefore, no matter what, Jia Qi will definitely obey his father's filial piety, even if the imperial decree is placed in front of him.

Jia Qi was very determined, and the Empress Dowager had no choice.

Then, the missions of European countries sat on the bench.

It's not that no one paid attention to them. In fact, they lived in the houses provided by Honglu Temple, and the basic expenses were borne by Honglu Temple. This is also the way Wei has been entertaining foreign officials for many years.

But the problem is, although they entertained them with delicious food and drinks, no one from Dawei paid any attention to their request.

Whether it was trade or other issues, Great Wei ignored them all.

Or the French businessman Louis has the ability.No, perhaps he should not be called Merchant Louis now, but Comte de Lausay.Because of diplomatic needs, Louis was promoted to earl, and was also appointed as ambassador.

Louis gave a few gold coins to a small official of Honglu Temple, and then showed the other party how many times he had been entertained by Jia Qi and how close he was to Jia Qi, and then he asked this small official.

The little official was also very straightforward, and really told him: "So you didn't know? Jia Zhiyuan's father passed away, and Jia Zhiyuan also went home to observe his father's filial piety. The empress dowager said that now the imperial court treats Europa Jiazhiyuan is the one who understands the matter best. Therefore, the empress dowager intends to wait for Jiazhiyuan to deal with it after Jiazhiyuan returns."

In fact, it is not that there are no officials in Honglu Temple who have asked the Empress Dowager for orders, but they have all been rejected.Those officials murmured behind their backs, but the cabinet also agreed to hand over this matter to Jia Qi, and Honglu Temple had no choice.

There are no idiots in the officialdom of the Wei Dynasty, and there are no idiots in Honglu Temple. Since the Empress Dowager and the cabinet have decided to hand over the mission to Jia Qi, it can be seen that the higher-ups have other arrangements.So no one will jump out and take trouble.

The Dutch ambassador Charlie Ferdinand happened to hear it, and said quickly: "But if this matter is not resolved for a day, we will lose tens of thousands of gold coins every year."

The Netherlands is known as the coachman of the sea, relying on shipping, and relying on Europa's various dependence on tea, silk, and porcelain from the Far East.Without the various products of the Orient, Dutch shipping would shrink by at least half.

"What does this have to do with me?" The little official curled his lips unhappily, and said, "It was you Europeans who first attacked our Wei's Shanghai state capital. Not to mention, you are the ones who are defeated now. Since you lost , then admit defeat honestly. Besides, you will spend a year or two on the way from Europa to our Great Wei, right? So what if you wait for a year in our Great Wei Jingshi? Anyway, it will be around this time next year. Jiazhiyuan will be filial piety."

The Dutch envoys, the Spanish envoys, and the Portuguese envoys who got this answer were very angry.

They were annoyed that this eastern official looked down on them, but they also knew that they had no capital to offend the East, so they could only direct their anger on the English envoy.

Of course, in the past two years, the navies and merchant ships of these three countries, and even the pirates below, have pinched British ships.

The ambassador to England is still Prince Albert.

Today, the prince is already the veritable Royal Highness of England.When Prince Albert returned to the UK from the Far East, his wife, Queen Victoria, desperately added the title of husband to Prince Albert.

Back then, when Jia Qi called him His Royal Highness, Prince Albert insisted that England did not have such a title. Now that he came to this country again, Prince Albert couldn't tell what it was like.

Back then, Britain couldn't compare with Great Wei, so he, the prince, was eaten to death by the other party. Even if he tried his best, the other party ignored him at all.Now, not to mention the defeat of the United Kingdom, the opponent's position in this country is more stable, and Prince Albert can't even find a reason for the opponent to let him go.

You know, back then he borrowed the power of the emperor's favorite concubine to escape from this country that was full of dangers and was very unfriendly to their English envoys on the surface.

This time, Prince Albert didn't even know how many means the other party had prepared to deal with him.

This gave Prince Albert the illusion that even if he fled to the horizon, he would have to walk in front of the other party by himself and wait for the other party's disposal.

This feeling is really bad.

Prince Albert is very clear about the attitudes of the Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese, and the European countries towards Britain, but he has nothing to do.If the Far East stops its blockade and resumes trade with Europa, then it’s okay to say, if this situation continues, if the British navy continues to face all kinds of chokeholds from the European countries, even Prince Albert himself doubts, maybe his The wife will be as unpopular as Louis XV was after the Seven Years' War, and perhaps his wife will lose her queenly powers and become a bauble at Buckingham Palace.

Thinking of all this, Prince Albert couldn't sit still.

He also imitated Louis and gave those petty officials a lot of gold coins. Of course, he also gave them a lot of gifts, in exchange for their good looks.

In terms of value, Prince Albert spent at least ten times that of Count de Lossay.

Having squeezed money from these Westerners, the petty official surnamed Yang muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, as Zhiyuan once said, these foreigners' money is really easy to earn." But he said: "If you want to go out to play , remember to report to us, so we can arrange guards for you. Don’t say you have guards, it’s useless. Who told you that you are not yellow-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed? People like you, it’s okay if you are in the capital , if I go to some remote rural places, I am afraid that I will be caught as a monster and burned to death."

Prince Albert could only say: "You misunderstood, I'm just curious about trains, I remember I didn't have this when I came last time."

"Ah~ that!" The little official surnamed Yang made a clear expression, "You don't know that's for sure. It was indeed built after you left. In order to facilitate the imperial court's control over Tianjin, and to facilitate the things in Tianjin to be Send it to Beijing in time.

"What? You want to visit? That's not allowed. There are regulations on train operation. If you want to visit here, the delivery of goods will be delayed.

"What? It's okay to go to the train station to have a look? I'm not saying that the train runs faster. Besides, the rails are so high from the platform to the bottom. If you fall, you won't be able to climb it in a short time. Come up! If something happens to you, we can't afford it! Besides, just look at the station, what can you see?"

Prince Albert thought of many reasons, but the other party just refused to nod.

Prince Albert had no choice but to express that he wanted to go to Tianjin.

The little official said: "This is not acceptable. You went to Tianjin, who will entertain you?"

Prince Albert said that he lived in the Tianjin Post Station the last time he came.

The petty official shook his head like a rattle, but disagreed.The meaning of the little official is very simple, Prince Albert must not have any accidents in the Great Wei, if any accidents happen to him, then the two countries will definitely be in an endless rhythm.He can't afford this kind of thing.

No matter what Prince Albert said, the little official had only one meaning, and that was to wait until Jia Qi's father had fulfilled his filial piety and returned to the cabinet.They Honglu Temple do not have this qualification, nor can they be the master.
