Chapter 156 Beisha, Dongli
Chapter 156 Beisha, Dongli
"Wow, really, their eyes are blue, so special."
"Is there any difference between what blue eyes and gray-green eyes see and what we see?" asked Chen Zhaoxi.
Everyone paused, apparently they hadn't thought about this question before.
Jiang Yuandao was drinking tea and almost laughed out loud. He looked at Qin Chaoyan and asked her the question.
"Master Qin, tell me, will there be any difference?"
Qin Chaoyan had never thought about this question before. Chen Zhaoxi's perspective was indeed unique. She said, "Is there any difference? Eyes are in each person's body. What we see is different from what others see. No one can tell."
"Because we have our own feelings, but we cannot have the feelings of others."
Jiang Yuandao stroked his beard and said, "Master Qin, this is a paradox."
After hearing his answer, Qin Chaoyan asked back, "Oh, then according to Master Jiang's opinion, what should we do?"
Jiang Yuandao laughed a few times and said, "As for me, my opinion is the same as Master Qin's."
The students and Jiang Guangbai who were quietly listening did not hear the answer they wanted, so Sima Sun said, "What is the difference? Just ask and do a comparative experiment and you will know."
"What Sima said makes sense," Kong Mao agreed, "Then I will go to the Fu Embassy tomorrow to deal with the people in Xiwu and invite them to join the experiment."
When Kong Mao said this, everyone was convinced by him.
When it comes to gathering information and making friends, Kong Mao is considered a top-notch talent in the school, and even in the academy.
With his help, he will definitely be able to get a few Xiwu people to join their experiment.
Jiang Guangbai and the students watched from the window for a long time. He said, "The teams from Guquan, Nanwu, and Xiwu have all been there for quite some time. Where are Beisha and Dongli?"
Jiang Guangbai learned the information at home yesterday. The envoys from the five countries of Guquan, Nanwu, Xiwu, Beisha and Dongli arrived outside Kyoto yesterday.
Now the teams of Guquan, Nanwu and Xiwu have been gone for quite some time, why haven’t Beisha and Dongli entered the city yet?
Outside the city gate, the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to welcome the delegation and the delegations from Beisha and Dongli were in a stalemate.
When Beisha arrived, they were wearing mourning clothes and said they wanted to welcome their second prince back on behalf of their soldiers who had died in the battle, and then enter the city together.
The envoys from the Dongli Kingdom also echoed the Beisha delegation, saying that Daqi's detention of the second prince of Beisha was an act of robbery.
If the Second Prince of Beisha is not returned, they would not dare to enter the city, because they are also afraid of being detained in Daqi like him and unable to return home.
The official from the Ministry of Rites was so angry that he could hardly maintain his composure, but it wasn't a good look either.
Wei Chu was watching from afar on the city wall. Seeing that the two delegations outside the city had not moved for a long time, he asked Shen An.
"what happened?"
"Beisha demanded that the Second Prince of Beisha be returned to them before they would enter the city. Dongli followed Beisha."
"They said they would not enter the city unless the Second Prince of Beisha was escorted out first."
Wei Chu's expression turned cold, and he clenched the hilt of his knife, saying, "Wait another quarter of an hour. If they are still unwilling to enter the city after a quarter of an hour, then there is no need to enter the city."
Inside the city, in the private room of Yunke Building, the students also started discussing.
"Indeed, we have been waiting for such a long time, why haven't Beisha and Dongli entered the city yet?"
Then they saw the Minister of Rites riding his horse across the long street.
"This, I guess something happened outside the city." Jiang Guangbai said.
Jiang Yuandao put down his cup and said, "You guys sit here, I'll go to the city gate to check the situation."
"Master, I want to go with you."
"Master, we want to go too."
"Mr. Jiang, otherwise, I will go with you."
Qin Chaoyan drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, put the cup down and said, "Let's go together."
"it is good."
The three teachers walked in front, and the students from the Qizhi School followed behind them. The students from the Mingli School in the next box heard the noise and also followed them.
People in the restaurant and on the street saw the teachers and students of Yingtian Academy heading towards the west city gate and spontaneously followed the team.
Not to mention that they were already curious about why the Beisha and Dongli delegations had not entered the city yet, just following them was enough to excite the people who were accompanying them.
I always feel that they are one of them, so energetic and full of vitality.
At the west city gate, before leaving the city, the Minister of Rites had a few words with Wei Chu about his suggestion to close the city gate.
The Minister of Rites agreed, and Beisha and Dongli made a fuss about this matter today.
If Da Qi really softens its attitude and agrees to their unfair conditions, then at the negotiation table five days later, the Beisha countries will become more demanding and think that Da Qi is easy to bully.
Therefore, when the envoys were feeling complacent and thought that the Daqi officials would definitely compromise, the city gates were closed.
"What's going on here? Is this how you treat envoys?"
Jiang Qiao, who was in charge of the reception today, felt extremely happy when he saw the city gate was closed.
At this time, the Minister of Rites appeared on horseback.
Jiang Qiao turned around and saluted the Minister of Rites Guo Bai.
"Sir, you are here." Jiang Qiao said, "It is my fault that I have not done my job well."
Guo Bai waved his hand, walked slowly forward and handed the horse's reins to a minor official.
"I came to see why the envoys of the two countries have not entered the city yet." He said, "It seems that today is really unfortunate. The envoys of the two countries are busy and cannot enter the city."
"You, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Guo Bai said, "Jiang Qiao, tell the delegation about it."
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at Beisha, especially the Dongli delegation showing a panic expression, Jiang Qiao felt very upset.
He said: "The envoys come to Beijing for state affairs and to make peace with other countries, so they must wear the national uniforms of the envoys from other countries."
"Messenger Beisha, I'm sorry that I don't have enough knowledge about your clothes. I don't know what kind of formal dress they are. Could it be the new national dress of Beisha?"
"You!" The envoy from Beisha was so angry that his face turned red.
"If you are an envoy coming to participate in the talks, please enter the city in national costumes. Otherwise, how can we in Daqi be sure that you are the envoys? Who knows, you may be a group of imposters from somewhere!"
"You're just joking. This is not the case," the Dongli envoy said hurriedly.
"We are envoys coming to see the emperor. How can it be fake? We are wearing the national uniform of Dongli. Oh, we also have identity cards and a letter from the emperor to see Emperor Qi. Please take a look..."
Inside the city, Qin Chaoyan and his party found a tea stall to sit down. Jiang Yuandao said a few words to the soldiers guarding the city and then went up to the city wall.
"I don't know what the situation is. I wonder if Master Jiang saw something clearly up there. I really want to know." Kong Mao said.
At this time, the city gate opened.
