Sweep the World

The banquet is not formal. It is conducted in a buffet mode. This mode is very suitable for the current situation. Many people have too much to talk about. If they sit apart, they can’t talk at all. Moreover, this kind of occasion is always more conversational. Eating is important, and no one comes here specifically to eat.

Julian saw the similarities with Rome from the banquet model of the Han Empire. He didn't know that this was because of Liu Yan's interference, thinking that the Han people had such a banquet way.

The buffet mode is really the standard way of banquets in Rome. The banquets held in Rome are unfettered. If you really have to sit still, they usually appear in negotiations.

After a long wait, the Roman royal family and the Sassanid royal family were finally notified that they wanted to prepare for the past to meet the emperor.

Today is not a serious welcome ceremony, but people from foreign countries obviously don't think so. They felt that they received the most grand welcome, felt the unparalleled enthusiasm from the Han people, and naturally had a good impression of the Han Empire.

Julian and Xias walked side by side, followed by their two sisters. As they moved forward, they kept their eyes on Liu Yan, and didn't pay much attention to what was happening around them.

When the envoy entered the meeting procedure, the people in the hall consciously stepped aside, and their plates or wine glasses with food in their hands were also handed over to the waiter, and they were quiet at the same time.

Liu Yan was standing like that, with Xu Zheng on the left and Ji Chang on the right. The three of them stood in the shape of a character, and a group of ministers surrounded them in a circle.

In the eyes of Julian and Xias, the Emperor Han is full of majesty even if he stands quietly, as if all the light and heat are dancing with the breathing of the Emperor Han, and he feels pressure every step forward. .

In fact, it was a subconscious suggestion. They knew Liu Yan's identity, and because of the power of the Han Empire, they had great psychological pressure, and they unconsciously restrained themselves and began to be cautious.

"See His Majesty the Emperor!"

Julian's posture is to stand upright but with his head drooping, with his right hand resting on his heart. It is a very standard salute posture from Rome.

Xias covered his heart with his right hand, and his waist was bent almost ninety degrees. It was also a very standard salute posture from Persian and below.

Helena, Helena, Yena, and Nical, the four of them were short and kneeled down, and made a five-body bow to Liu Yan.

In different countries, the salute postures of men and women are naturally different, and the dignity held by men and women in etiquette is also different.

In Rome and Sassanid, women's respect (surrender) to the supreme superior is the ritual of kneeling. The two countries also have the same etiquette to kiss the instep (or toe of the thumb) of the superior.

They called Liu Yan very weird. There is no such name as "Your Majesty the Son of Heaven" in Zhu Xia's honorific title. At the same time, no one would call "The Son of Heaven" in front of the Son of Heaven. Generally speaking, the title of "The Son of Heaven" is behind, but To add a "now", the sum is "today".

Roman men and Persian men used their right hands to cover the heart when saluting. First, the right hand is the best for ordinary people to use weapons. Freeing the right hand is a way to show that there is no hostility; second, to cover the heart is to hit the heart. How and how.

It’s not “I’m Daqing” at the moment. The Han dynasty has never been entangled with foreigners about whether to kneel to the emperor. Generally, they don’t want to kneel until they are willing to kneel, so they don’t want to force anything, but use a large army to speak under the city. , It is fundamentally different from the "I Daqing" kind of strong-mouthed king.

No one stood up and entangled why Julian and Xias didn't kneel. Their salute was when Cui Zong made a "flat body" and returned to their normal posture, and the four girls also stood up again at the same time.

Helena stood up again, unlike her three sisters who were cautious not to look at Liu Yan. She looked at Liu Yan with two points of caution, three points of curiosity, and five points of aggressiveness.

Liu Yan is 1.92 meters tall. He is not an extremely strong type, and his appearance can only be said to be above average.

However, when Liu Yan is in this position, his appearance is completely secondary. No matter how ordinary his appearance is, he will cultivate the temperament that a superior person should have when he is in power all the year round. At the same time, the person who is watching will also be in himself because he knows his identity. Unlimited bonus points in the subjective consciousness.

That's the same thing. When a person sees a person in power, the first thing that comes to mind is not the figure or appearance, but the invisible but real "power".

If the people of a whole country obey a pig, when they look at that pig, they will not see the pig. It is an authority that cannot be ignored, and it is the domineering domineering of the heaven and the earth.

Liu Yan noticed for the first time that this blonde girl was full of aggressive eyes, and the eyes were emitting infinite fluctuations. When translated, it was either "must get him" or "as if to swallow him". He finds this look very interesting, but it is only interesting.

"Big Han angels go to Ru country, so many people have to take care of them, and the few are gratified." Cui Zong is a little far away from Liu Yan. Everyone can see that Liu Yan has not spoken at all, but he continues to say: "Today, you are waiting for the coming Han, the same treatment Of."

Julian and Xias didn't understand what this operation was. They were a little confused for a second, and then they reacted and saluted again.

It's not an operation. Today is not a formal meeting. According to Zhu Xia's "ritual" Liu Yan, let the Roman and Sassanids see that the reception process is no longer in line. How can they talk directly with them?

Liu Yan looked at the left and right blankly, without seeing the members of the Roman royal family and the Sassanid royal family, so he turned and walked away. The Han people present were not unsuitable, but the international friends were completely stunned.

Until Liu Yan left, Prime Minister Jichang and Taiwei Xu Zheng also left, and then all the people at the three-gong and nine-qing level left the scene except for Lu Yi, leaving behind some officials at the secondary level to continue their rare gatherings and chats.

"Everyone." Xun Xian awakened the international friends who had fallen into a daze, with a professional smile on his face, in a false gesture: "The pianist is already waiting, please come with the official."

This time I saw the members of the Roman royal family and the Sassanid royal family in a daze. They didn't understand the situation at all, and followed Xun Xian with slow thinking.

"It is extremely rare for your Majesty to meet with you today." Xun Xian explained Zhu Xia's etiquette, specifically explaining that it is a rare exception for them to see the emperor without the etiquette teaching of Hongxuanguan: "The courtesy are the big man's. Minister of Foreign Affairs, please treat me rigorously."

Julian and Xias immediately put aside all distractions, thinking about how to state their demands when they meet.

The four girls have been following along, they don't know what they are thinking, but their expressions are extremely tranced.

They were taken to a door, Xun Xian knocked on the door and smiled at them, and even left right away.

The door was opened, and they subconsciously looked inside and saw a screen with a beautiful pattern. Before they could react, a person came out.

"Everyone." After Yang Dun appeared, he made a leading gesture: "Please follow me."

What else could Julian and Xias do? Just like a string puppet, the Han Empire followed how it arranged it.

What we are entering now is the simplified process in Zhu Xia etiquette. The standard process is more complicated and I don’t know how many times, in order to confuse the crooked nuts, let the crooked nuts lose their thinking and be used to obey the arrangements, and then don’t care. Any negotiation is in a passive position.

In modern terms, one set after another is actually controlling the rhythm, so not to mention that the ancients are always useless, they are far more useful than imagined.

Lu Yicai wouldn't do anything to greet him at the door, and he nodded his head when he saw the guests coming in. He nodded to the incoming guests, and naturally someone arranged for the guests to sit down in their seats.

The four girls entered the room. They had no time to think more, and were invited to the room by Yang Dun politely.

Only Xun Xian, whom Lu Yi returned with him, was left at the scene. The guests were Julian and Xias. The two parties met with each other, and the waiter brought drinks, fruits and desserts.

It didn't take long before Wang Meng entered alone. What he saw was Xun Xian happily using Chinese to communicate with Julian, who could speak Chinese, while Xiasi was sitting depressed.

"Angel, it's really great that you are here." Xias didn't have the face to let Julian act as his own translator, and the Han Empire didn't arrange translators. He just wanted to say something that Lu Yi could understand. : "Can I bother you to relay it?"

"..." Wang Meng can understand most of the Persian ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but can't understand the Persian script. He needs to correct one point: "Your Excellency, after returning home, he is no longer an angel."

Xiasi knew that Wang Meng was not an angel before daring to open the mouth, otherwise there would be no face for the angel representing the emperor to act as an interpreter.

On the other side, Julian has already expressed Rome's recognition of the power of the Han Empire, and used his personal identity to discuss with Lu Yi's proposal to form a non-alliance organization.

"Your envoy is saying that Dahan, Daqin, and Sassan have become the leaders of this organization, and are jointly responsible for disputes among member states?" Lu Yi thought this was very interesting, because he doubted whether Rome and Sassan were qualified to be tied with Dahan. , But there is no need to talk about this now: "This official is only responsible for receiving two people today, and listen to the two issues about traders. What is the matter that your envoy talked about..."

Julian understood very well, he also mentioned it in his personal capacity, and had not communicated with Rome. He thought Constantius would agree with his vision, and Shapur II would certainly accept it.

After all, the reality is there. The Han Empire is really too strong to be an enemy, and can only choose to be friends with it. It is very necessary for a wave of counseling, otherwise it is a little hard to say.
