C2015 Tongzhi Emperor who was floating in the air (1/2)
Xiao Letian keenly noticed that ever since he had left the Port Said, Zai Chun had started to swell up a little in front of the warm welcome from European countries.
After all, this was the first time that a human Emperor of China had visited Europe, and this matter was destined to go down in history. Even if the European countries did not have a good impression of the Great Qing, they had to show enough respect and show their welcome due to etiquette.
Most people lived an extremely ordinary life. Even the Emperor, the Generals, and the politicians and ministers didn't dare to guarantee that every single one of them would live their entire lives.
It was the fortune of a politician to have such a historical event recorded in history. In fact, it was the fortune of a king. Even in the history of mankind, there were many monarchs that were unknown.
This was a rare opportunity. Were these monarch politicians that didn't want to interfere in such a historical event? When the successful people at the top of the pyramid were rich enough that they didn't lack anything, the desire for fame became the strongest desire.
The endless wealth and wealth, gold and silver treasures, beautiful women's residences … these were all things that had gotten tired of. Naturally, they would enter a higher level of desire and desire; that was to leave their name in the annals of history.
Here is the difference between East and West. Europeans do not believe in eternal life, which is related to their religion, so no matter how powerful the people in Europe are, they only want health, not longevity.
Only China, even the people in the Asian cultural circle, had the desire to live forever!
These extremely wealthy and powerful figures in Europe, since they did not have the desire to live forever, then their final pursuit would only be for fame.
Cultural differences led to national differences. One could not say who was right or wrong, but there was one thing that could not be denied. Within the Eastern Kingdom's cultural circle, many elites had the desire to cultivate in seclusion.
Many elites began to pursue cultivation and the truth within their hearts, giving up all worldly desires. The elites of Europe, on the other hand, had no choice but to come into being, to fight their way through the world, to think about social problems and resolve contradictions.
This was because the European elites did not seek longevity nor cultivation. What they desired was the fame and reputation of the secular world, especially fame. So the Western world as a whole has more elite people who deal with social affairs than China in the Middle Ages.
Forget about everything else, just the high rank intellectuals in Ancient China alone were countless.
It was for this reason that the elites of the European countries, regardless of what they may say on the surface, were extremely interested in this historic event of Emperor Tongzhi's visit to Europe.
Other than the few countries that had enmity with each other, the rest of the European countries had all sent invitations to the Zhiyuan Warship. Although they knew very well that it was impossible for Zai Chun to travel throughout Europe, this kind of attitude still needed to be done.
The snowflake like telegram flew to Zai Chun's side. The little emperor had been completely praised by for his kind words these few days, but not only that, many countries along the Mediterranean Sea had also sent out their own country's dignitaries and high ranking nobles. They had even come to visit Tongzhi personally, it could be said that they had given him a lot of face.
The young man couldn't help but feel bloated. The reason he had gone to the ship's leader statue these few days was actually to enjoy the feeling of being pursued by tens of thousands of people.
Xiao Letian had already seen that something was wrong with Zai Chun, he had to go and beat him up. This state visit to Zai Chun was destined to be the main character of a diplomatic event, and he had to retreat to the second string.
Every word and action in Europe would be recorded in the history books, and if he were to make a disgrace out of it, he would be famous for a long time.
