The banquet is not formal. It is conducted in the mode of buffet. This mode is very suitable for the current situation. Many people have too much to talk about. If they sit separately, they can't talk at all. Moreover, on this occasion, conversation is always more important than eating, and no one comes specifically for eating.
Julian saw the similarities with Rome from the banquet mode of the Han Empire. He didn't know that it was because of Liu Yan's intervention. He thought that the Han people had such a banquet mode long ago.
The buffet mode is really the standard banquet mode in Rome. The banquet held in Rome is unrestrained. If you really want to sit down separately, it usually appears on the occasion of negotiation.
After a long wait, the Roman royal family and the Sassanian royal family were finally informed that they wanted to prepare for the visit to the emperor.
Today is not a formal welcome ceremony, but people from foreign countries obviously don't think so. They felt that they had received the most grand welcome, felt the incomparable enthusiasm from the Han people, and naturally had a good impression of the Han Empire.
Julian and keshias walked side by side, followed by their two sisters. As they moved forward, they kept looking at Liu Yan without paying much attention to what was going on around them.
When the diplomatic mission entered the audience procedure, the people in the hall consciously stepped aside on both sides, and the plates or wine glasses with food in their hands were also handed over to the waiter. At the same time, they quieted down.
Liu Yan is standing like that. Xu Zheng is on the left and Ji Chang is on the right. The three stand in the shape of Pinzi, surrounded by a group of ministers.
In the eyes of Julian and keshias, even if the Emperor Han stood quietly, he was full of dignity, as if all the light and heat danced with the breath of the Emperor Han, and he felt the pressure every step forward.
In fact, it was a subconscious hint. They knew Liu Yan's identity and had great psychological pressure because of the strength of the Han Empire. They unconsciously restrained themselves and began to be careful.
"See your majesty!"
Julian's posture is to stand straight but with his head drooping and his right hand covering his heart. It is a very standard salute posture below Rome.
Keshias covered his heart with his right hand and bent almost 90 degrees. It is also a very standard salute posture below Persia.
Helena, Helena, ye Na and Nicar knelt down and made a servile gesture to Liu Yan.
In different countries, the salute gestures of men and women are naturally different. At the same time, in terms of etiquette, men and women hold different dignity.
In Rome and sassanne, women's respect (submission) to the supreme superior is a kneeling ceremony. The two countries also have the same etiquette is to kiss the superior's instep (or foot thumb).
They call Liu Yan very strange. There is no such title as "emperor's Majesty" in Zhuxia's honorific titles. At the same time, no one will call "emperor" in front of the emperor. Generally, the title of "emperor" is behind, but add a "today", which together is "today's emperor".
Roman and Persian men cover their hearts with their right hands when saluting. First, most people are good at using weapons with their right hands. Freeing their right hands is a way to show no hostility; Second, cover the position of the heart, which means how to play from the heart.
At present, it is not "my Qing Dynasty". The Han Dynasty never tangles with foreign people whether to kneel to the emperor. Generally, if they are not willing to kneel, they will fight until they are willing to kneel, so they will not force anything. It is to use a large army to speak under the city, which is fundamentally different from the mouth strong king of "my Qing Dynasty".
No one stood up and wondered why Julian and keshias didn't kneel. Their salute was to restore their normal posture with Cui Zong's "flat body", and the four girls stood up again at the same time.
Helena stood up again. Unlike her three sisters, she was careful not to look at Liu Yan. She looked at Liu Yan with two cautious, three curious and five aggressive eyes.
Liu Yan is 1.92 meters tall. His figure is not an incomparably strong type. His appearance can only be said to be above medium.
However, in Liu Yan's position, his appearance has completely become secondary, that is, no matter how ordinary his appearance is, being in power all year round will also cultivate the temperament that the superior should have, and at the same time, the Watcher will add infinite points to his subjective consciousness because he knows his identity.
That's one thing. When people see the person in power, what comes to mind for the first time is not the figure and appearance, but the invisible but real "power".
If people in a whole country obey a pig, what they see when they look at that pig is not a pig, a power that can not be ignored, and an arrogant arrogance in heaven and earth.
Liu Yan noticed at the first time that the blonde was full of aggressive eyes, which were fluctuating infinitely. In translation, either "we must get him" or "I really want to swallow him". He felt funny about the look, but only funny.
"The Great Han angels go to your country and take care of them more. I'm glad." Cui Zong is a little far away from Liu Yan. Everyone can see clearly that Liu Yan didn't deliver a word at all, but he continued: "today, you come to Han with the same treatment."
Julian and keshias didn't understand what the operation was. They were a little confused for a second and saluted again.
It's not an operation. Today is not a formal meeting. According to the "Rites" of Zhuxia, Liu Yan let the Roman royal family and Sassanian royal family see that they are not in line with the reception process. How can they talk directly with them?
Liu Yan looked left and right without expression. He didn't look at the members of the Roman royal family and Sassanian royal family. He turned and walked away. The Han people present didn't adapt at all, but stunned all his international friends.
Until Liu Yan left, Prime Minister Ji Chang and Taiwei Xu Zheng also left, and then all the people at the level of Sangong and Jiuqing left except LV Yi, leaving some officials at the level of junior officials to continue their rare party and chat.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Xun Xian awakened the international friends who were in a state of stupor. With a professional smile on his face, he compared a virtual gesture: "the Dianke is already waiting. Please come with me."
This time, the members of the Roman royal family and Sassanian royal family had to be confused. They didn't understand anything and followed Xun Xian with a dull mind.
"It is very rare for your majesty to meet you today." Xun Xian explained the etiquette of Zhuxia, especially that it was a rare exception for them to see the son of heaven without the etiquette instruction of Honglu Hall: "the Dian guest is the foreign minister of the Han Dynasty. Please be careful."
Julian and keshias immediately put aside all their thoughts and thought about how to state their demands when they meet later.
The four girls have been following, and they don't know what they're thinking. Their expressions are extremely trance.
They were taken to a door. Xun Xian knocked on the door and smiled at them. Unexpectedly, he left straight.
When the door was opened, they subconsciously looked inside and saw a screen with beautiful patterns. Before they reacted, someone came out.
"Ladies and gentlemen." After Yang Dun appeared, he made a leading gesture: "please follow me."
What else can Julian and kosias do? It's like a string puppet. The Han Empire can do whatever it wants.
What we are entering now is the simplified process in Zhuxia etiquette. The standard process can be complex. I don't know how many times, in order to make the crooked nuts confused, so that the crooked nuts lose their thinking and are used to obeying the arrangement. Next, no matter what negotiations are held, they are in a passive position.
In modern terms, one set after another is actually controlling the rhythm, so don't say that the ancients always did something useless, which is far more useful than they thought.
LV Yi would not do anything to meet the guests at the door. When he saw the guests coming in, he nodded and greeted them, even if it was very face-saving. He nodded to the incoming guests, and naturally someone arranged for the guests to sit down in their own position.
Four girls came into the room. Before they had time to think more, they were politely invited to the room by Yangdun.
Only Xun Xian was left at the scene. The guests were Julian and kexie as. The two sides met each other, and the attendants brought drinks, fruits and desserts.
Before long, Wang Meng entered alone. What he saw was Xun Xian communicating happily in Chinese with Julian, who knew how to speak Chinese, while keshias sat depressed.
"Angel, it's very nice of you to come." Kjayas didn't have the face to let Julian act as his own translator. The Han Empire didn't arrange a translator. He just wanted to say something, which LV Yi could understand: "can you please tell me?"
"..." Wang Meng can understand most Persian, but he can't understand Persian. He needs to correct one thing: "Sir, Meng is no longer an angel since he returned home."
Kjayas dared to open the mouth only when he knew that Wang Meng was not an angel. Otherwise, he would not have the face to let the angel representing the son of heaven act as an interpreter.
On the other hand, Julian had expressed the intention that Rome recognized the strength of the Han Empire, and used his personal identity to discuss with LV Yi the proposal to form a non alliance organization.
"Your envoy said that Han, Da Qin and SA Shan became the leaders of this organization and were jointly responsible for disputes among Member States?" LV Yi thought this was very interesting. He doubted whether Rome and sassanne were qualified to stand side by side with the big men, but there was no need to talk about it now: "I am only responsible for receiving you today and listening to the two topics on trade. What your envoy talked about..."
Julian understood very well that he mentioned it in his personal capacity and had not communicated with Rome. He believed that 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. We can only choose to be friends with it. It is very necessary to counsel, otherwise the consequences are a little difficult to say.
