Steel Dynasty - Chapter 948

[Chapter 943 Xiao Qi reappears]

in Qingzhou.

Schroeder looked at the embassy with the Prussian flag hanging in front of him and smiled knowingly.

He has been staying in Qingzhou for nearly a month. In addition to conducting an in-depth and detailed on-the-spot inspection of Qingzhou’s industry and commerce, the only thing he has done is this embassy.

Originally, according to the plan, they were going to purchase a piece of vacant land to build the Prussian Embassy, but time did not allow him to do so, so with the help of the Dayu Foreign Affairs Office, he spent 70,000 gold dragons to buy this three-story building from a businessman. A small building.

Although the style of this small building retains the characteristics of the carved beams and painted buildings of the Dayu country, the building material is made of a material called concrete among the people of the Dayu country. He tested it carefully and found that this building material is very strong and makes the building more durable. People are amazed.

In addition, all the windows in this small building are made of glass, there is running water in the room, and the toilet has a clean and beautiful ceramic toilet and bidet.

He couldn’t help but admire such an advanced municipal system. Although tap water and glass were already popular in their cities, the design of Great Chongqing was obviously more reasonable, and the glass and water quality were even slightly better.

“Mr. Schroeder, congratulations, congratulations. If you have any diplomatic matters in the future, you can directly ask the embassy personnel to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with us.”

Tang Wenjie said to Schroeder with a smile on his face.

He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, responsible for diplomacy with other countries and implementing the court’s foreign policy.

Five years ago, he was still a student at the Government Affairs College. At that time, he accidentally studied diplomacy. He thought that his life would be wasted. Unexpectedly, the imperial court ordered him to join the Foreign Affairs Office. In just five years, With his professional knowledge, he became the current chief officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reaching the fourth rank.

“Of course, but I also hope that Mr. Tang can take care of the embassy so that the relationship between the two countries will flourish.” Within a month, Schroeder understood some of the polite words of the Chongqing country.

“This embassy was established by the emperor’s order. Mr. Schroeder can rest assured.” Tang Wenjie communicated with Schroeder in fluent Prussian.

The first ability to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs is to master foreign languages. After studying hard over the years, he can speak seven languages, including Prussian.

“This way I can safely return to Prussia with the goods from Great Chongqing.” Schroeder said with a smile. This time when he came to Great Chongqing, he had prepared a lot of gold and silver in advance.

It was with these things that he exchanged a lot of Great Yu currency, otherwise he might have been delayed for another year this time.

Tang Wenjie smiled lightly and said: “I hope that when Mr. Schroeder comes next time, the relationship between Great Yu and Prussia can be further improved. At the same time, don’t forget that our common enemy is Britain and France.”

“Oh, of course we will not forget this. , But I also hope that Mr. Tang will convey my suggestions to Your Majesty. British India and Indochina have always provided Britain and France with a lot of wealth. If they lose these colonies in Asia, they will suffer heavy losses. “

“I will convey it to Your Majesty. “Tang Wenjie’s expression did not show any change, but he was not affected by Schroeder.

What kind of diplomatic strategy should Dayu adopt? If it is done in its own way, Dayu will not follow Prussia’s needs.

After all, he knew very well that Prussia was also a country with great ambitions. Now the country of Chongqing needed him just to disrupt Europe.

For a country, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends. The only thing to follow is its own interests. Maybe it is at war with this country at one moment and becomes a die-hard ally the next moment.

Schroeder saluted Tang Wenjie. His mission to the Great Yu Kingdom was accomplished, and it was time for him to return to Prussia.

At this time, his luggage and the ticket to Dengzhou were all ready, and it was time to leave.

At eleven o’clock, Tang Wenjie put Schroeder on the steam locomotive to Dengzhou. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. His mission was completed, and now it was time to go back and resume his life.

When he was about to go back, he suddenly noticed a man walking out of a steam locomotive arriving in Qingzhou from Dengzhou.

This man was wearing a white gown and had dark skin, but he felt very familiar.

Looking at this person, he recalled carefully, and suddenly a memory flashed through his mind. This person was clearly Xiao Qi, the son of the former Prince Ning, who was wanted by the court after the conquest of Wei.

Thinking of this, he was about to call the guards at the station to arrest Xiao Qi, but at this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly took out a banner with a large word of injustice written on it, and below it was a line of small words: Xiao Qi, son of Prince Ning.

Seeing this, the guards swarmed forward and captured Xiao Qi before he could say anything.

Tang Wenjie narrowed his eyes at this time. If this person was really Xiao Qi, the court would probably be bustling soon, but it would be good to tell the emperor the news in advance.

So he quickly entered the palace to meet Xiao Ming.

“What, Xiao Qi!”

Xiao Ming asked in surprise in the imperial study, completely ignoring Schroeder’s suggestion.

“Your Majesty, that’s right. This person was holding a banner and has been captured by the guards. It is estimated that news will come from the guard station soon.” Tang Wenjie said.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly. He had forgotten this Xiao Qi for a long time, and he didn’t expect to be mentioned again. In fact, to him, this person was no longer that important, whether he was alive or dead, as long as he didn’t cause trouble for him. That’s fine.

“Well, I understand.” Xiao Ming was going to wait for a while and see what the security guard did.

Tang Wenjie understood that his mission was over, so he bowed and left.

As soon as he left the imperial study, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard Station came towards him, looking very anxious.

“Your Majesty, we have captured the rebellious Xiao Qi. Please punish your Majesty.” Luo Feng, who had just been promoted to commander, said urgently after entering the Imperial Study Room.

“Is it really Xiao Qi?”

“It’s absolutely true. He asked to meet the emperor, saying that he had important matters related to the dignity of the country of Chongqing to report to the emperor.”

Xiao Ming frowned and said, “Let’s go, since what he said is so solemn, I will go and meet him.” , let’s see what tricks he plays.”

After that, he asked Luo Feng to escort Xiao Qi to the palace.

Luo Feng left in response, and half an hour later, the tightly tied Xiao Qi was escorted in front of Xiao Ming.

“Back then, I asked how the King of Wei could have such a young Changshi like you, but I didn’t expect that you really have an extraordinary status.” Xiao Ming said lightly.

At this time, Xiao Qi’s expression was gloomy, like a rotten old man. He looked at Xiao Ming and was silent for a long time and said: “My emperor, Xiao Qi, a citizen of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, today represents the people of the Huayan Kingdom to ask for help from the emperor, hoping that the emperor will send troops to help me. The people of Dayu are seeking revenge, but as for me, Xiao Qi, the emperor will kill me and cut her into pieces, but I will not complain at all.”
