Wu Sheng was a man who saw through everything at the first moment.
Then he said expressionlessly: "If you are not in good health, don't go. It is not easy for foreign women to bathe, so as not to be infected with diseases."
Xie Xian also came over and advised: "That's right, Lao Zhou. Food safety is more important than anything else. You have already started to quit eating. You can't ruin your practice."
"No! I'm addicted to sex." Zhou Tie lamented, "Besides, since we're here, what's wrong with trying some foreign food? Don't you want to try it? But... this guy doesn't like to take a bath, which is really annoying..."
"Stop talking for now, the master is here."
Li Yuanzhao and others had finished their greetings and began to enter the city and head towards the Temple Mount.
In the city, Fang Zhengyi accompanied Li Yuanzhao, and the two of them looked around with great interest.
Although the two often saw reports from the West, the news on paper was never as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes in reality.
Almost every time they saw a new and unusual building, the two would stop, point and discuss loudly.
The streets were jammed with people, and Lai Gou'er saw this and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, let's go to the temple as soon as possible. I have already arranged a residence there. We are so tired from the journey, so why don't I host a banquet for Your Majesty and Lord Marquis first, and then we can tour the Holy City tomorrow."
"And since I knew Your Majesty was coming, I had already invited Duke Jarvis of Feka and the businessman Hope, who has been cooperating with Dajing, to the Temple Mount. Now they are waiting to be received by Your Majesty."
Fang Zheng turned around to take a look at the blocked streets and the foreigners who kept sticking their heads out of the corners to check the situation.
He also echoed: "Your Majesty, let's go in first. These things are not important. Let's go and see the results of Dajing's transformation in the Holy City tomorrow."
Li Yuanzhao nodded solemnly.
Indeed, the things we are looking at now are nothing more than the "local specialties" of foreigners. What we really need to focus on is the people's hearts and Dajing's influence here.
At present, the Holy City is the basic base for the Dajing Operation. If the Old Church launches an uprising and causes instability in the people's hearts, it will obviously have a huge negative impact on the Dajing Operation.
He needs to personally investigate whether Dajing's public support here is as solid as reported, and then make plans for the future after everything is confirmed.
"Let's go. I'm hungry too. Let me try this agar. Also, please prepare some authentic food for the common people."
"I will obey your command."
.....
There was a bustling scene in the temple, with many great people busy walking around inside.
It was originally a sacred place for worshiping the gods, but now it has become a place to welcome Emperor Dajing.
Hope and Duke Alvis stood stiffly in the hall, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Dajing.
It was not just Emperor Dajing, but also Marquis Jianye, whom they had heard of countless times from Lai Gouer.
The achievements and accomplishments of this Marquis of Jianye seem to be far greater than those of the emperor.
Under the long-term influence of Lai Gou'er, in the minds of the two, he is the truly top-notch figure in Dajing, the one who can call the shots.
When Li Yuanzhao, Fang Zhengyi and others entered the temple, Lai Gouer immediately winked at them, introduced them loudly, and quickly walked to the middle to act as an interpreter.
Hope and the other man immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Yuanzhao smiled and said, "It's okay. I have heard of your names a long time ago. I am the guest in the West, so you two don't need to be polite. Please accompany me for dinner today and we can chat while we eat."
After he finished speaking, he immediately started chatting with Pope Soljie.
The two nodded at the same time, and Duke Alvis was secretly surprised.
Emperor Dajing, the monarch of a powerful country, is so gentle and friendly.
It was really unexpected.
After paying their respects to Li Yuanzhao, the two men immediately walked towards Fang Zhengyi and paid their respects solemnly again.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis. I have heard of your great name a long time ago..."
Fang Zhengyi bowed and smiled, "You're welcome. I've heard of your names a long time ago. Dajing's successful overseas market expansion is all thanks to partners like you who have outstanding capabilities. I hope we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Your Majesty is here today. This is a rare opportunity. If you have anything you want to ask or say, you can tell His Majesty and me. You can tell me everything you know. Don't be shy."
Fang Zheng's easygoing attitude surprised Duke Alvis for a moment.
It was really unexpected that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Dajing were so easy-going in their dealings with others.
Both he and Hope are veterans who have been through many battles. They can tell at a glance whether the other party is being polite on the surface or it is a habit that comes from the heart.
The kindness of these two people is definitely not pretended!
Li Yuanzhao, Fang Zhengyi and others began to sit down. Duke Alvis glanced at Hope and asked quietly, "You are not nervous at all when you meet Emperor Dajing?"
"How can you not be nervous? This person is much more powerful than the Pope."
“I’m talking about their attitude.”
"What's there to be nervous about? Isn't it pretty good?" Hope asked back.
"It seems a bit too good. Have you ever seen an emperor or church leader of any country have such an attitude? How should I put it? It doesn't feel like that of the nobility." Duke Alvis frowned.
Hope curled his lips and said, "What else can you nobles do except being arrogant? I think the Emperor of Dajing and the Marquis are very nice. We will have to do business with Dajing in the future. The fact that they can have such an attitude is enough to show that they are the best partners."
"But I think it's a bit too good, right? Dajing is stronger than the other countries, so they should be more arrogant and domineering."
Hope sneered and looked at Duke Alvis with a squint: "Why do you think like a slave?"
