Chapter 716 Messenger Exchange Meeting
The envoy of Weiguo was not the only foreign envoy to discover the hidden meaning of the changes in Cangyang City.
Some keen envoys from other countries discovered the anomalies in Cangyang City.
It seems that the officials of the Qian Kingdom have strict control over the order of the capital, but in fact it contains extraordinary significance.
They saw that the officials of the Qian Kingdom were secretly improving the status of civilians.
Since ancient times, Zhongzhou has been unable to punish officials.
Most of the time, this doctor refers to nobles.
Nobles and officials have privileges in many places. Even if they are the ones who make mistakes, most of the time they are punished by civilians.
Of course, more often than not, national laws do not recognize them as making mistakes.
Now Cangyang City's regulations stipulate that both civilians and officials must abide by them.
What's this?
This was a covert abolition of the privileges of officials and nobles.
If it was only implemented in one city in Cangyang City, they could also think that it was because the leader of the Qian Kingdom who was about to take the throne was too controlling and would not allow anyone to disobey his orders under his feet.
What if not?
What if he wanted to enforce this norm throughout the entire country?
Then they will quickly reach a consensus to prevent the expansion of Qian Country.
Even countries that are already in chaos at home must do their part.
Those heads of Guizhou must not be allowed to know the laws of Qian Kingdom, let alone let them have a yearning for Qian Kingdom.
Otherwise, their country will become more chaotic and even turbulent.
They didn't want to have their mansion burned down by angry civilians, or lead the Qian Kingdom's army to hang them on the city wall.
The best way is of course to destroy Qian Guo.
Once the Qian Kingdom is destroyed, nothing will happen.
However, based on the intelligence analysis they currently have, the probability of destroying Qian Guo is low.
It wasn't that they discovered how powerful the God Guards were, but that they knew they couldn't form close allies.
How can a half-hearted alliance destroy a powerful enemy!
Therefore, they can only discuss how to curb the development of Qian Country without endangering their own interests.
Even if they see the dangers of the Qiang country, they must reach an agreement without harming their own country's interests (in the short term).
Not all messengers are short-sighted, but there is no shortage of short-sighted people in any country, let alone short-sighted people in high positions.
There may be some contradiction. How can a short-sighted person sit in a high position?
It’s not that they are easily killed or exiled because they make mistakes, or at least they won’t be promoted.
Hehe, this is a very interesting thing.
Anyway, they often appear at the top of various countries.
In fact, sometimes short-sightedness is not a complete mistake. At least they can do the things in front of them well.
This is also a rare skill.
Black Wing and the Security Bureau clearly monitor the movements of envoys from various countries.
Everyone in Black Wing and the Security Bureau knows what they dream about when they sleep at night.
When the information from Black Wing and the Security Bureau was delivered to Yang Yuan, he just smiled.
"It's good if you like to communicate, Fugui. You have people tell the envoys in the post house that Qian Guo is holding an exchange meeting for them. If you have anything to say, you can say it openly, why bother to be secretive!"
Yang Yuan planned to learn from the diplomatic reception in his previous life and ask the diplomats of Qian Country to communicate with the envoys.
He remembered that many agreements that affected the world situation in his previous life were reached at cocktail parties.
Real bargaining results are never achieved at the negotiating table.
Agreements are always made outside meetings.
Yang Yuan also did not hope that the diplomats of Qian State (who are still officials of the Ministry of Rites) could immediately grow into the diplomats he planned.
Growing step by step, one day they will be able to complete diplomatic missions perfectly without Yang Yuan's guidance.
Yang Yuan is not in a hurry, he still has a lot of time.
The next day, the envoys from various countries in the posthouse received invitations from the Ministry of Rites of the Qian Kingdom.
Invite them to attend the ambassador exchange meeting held in Liuyuan tomorrow.
This is another word that is very unfamiliar to the envoys of various countries.
They are familiar with poetry gatherings, cocktail parties, and banquets. What kind of exchange meeting will it be?
Although it is a name that is easy to understand, no one has ever held such a straightforward banquet.
The envoys from various countries were even more surprised when they attended this exchange meeting.
This exchange meeting seems to be okay!
The exchange meeting held by the Ministry of Etiquette at Yang Yuan's suggestion was quite good.
First of all, the venue is very good, Liuyuan.
An exquisite garden, with small bridges, flowing water, and blooming flowers, basically meets the aesthetic taste of all envoys.
Secondly, the format of this exchange meeting is relatively new and not as rigid as other banquets.
There are special places to rest and places to play and relax.
The messengers can move around freely. There is food next to them when they are hungry, drinks when they are thirsty, and seats when they are tired.
Even if you are sleepy, there is a room where you can rest after walking a little longer.
The officials from Qianguo who were moving around the garden and communicating with envoys were also polite and courteous.
Moreover, the envoys from various countries also discovered that officials from the Qian Kingdom actually revealed a lot of the policies of the Qian Kingdom and the intentions of the King of Qian to them at the exchange meeting.
It should not be their own initiative. This is the purpose of Qianguo's exchange meeting.
Use this method to catch up before officially starting the meeting between the two countries.
They will also encounter this kind of thing when they visit other countries. Officials from the country will meet with them in advance before formally meeting the king.
Exchange opinions in advance to avoid anything bad happening at the meeting.
Something really happens that neither party wants to see happen, the king loses face and the envoy loses his life (this kind of thing is rare, but it is not unheard of).
It's just that Qian Guo brought the secret matter of meeting in advance to the surface, and it was a meeting with envoys from so many countries at once.
This exchange meeting is both an official meeting and a private meeting.
"The Qian people are interesting. Aren't they afraid that we will unite to put pressure on them?"
The exchange meeting facilitates exchanges between envoys from various countries and the host country, and also facilitates communication between them.
If they communicate with each other, wouldn't they be able to quickly figure out Qian Guo's intentions and bottom line and strive for the greatest benefits?
But he soon abandoned the idea.
impossible.
It is impossible for the envoys from various countries to unite together, and even if they reach cooperation, they will always have evil intentions.
Just imagine if he found out the intentions and bottom line of Qian Guo, would he share it with other countries?
Won't!
He knew very well that even if it was to curb the development of Qian Country and obtain maximum benefits, those in the country would not agree to him exchanging intelligence with other countries.
It is not just a matter of long-term and short-sightedness. The hatred accumulated over hundreds of years is not so easy to reconcile.
It was the first time to participate in this kind of exchange meeting, and the envoys from various countries were still a little reluctant to let go. They only communicated with officials from the Qian Kingdom and did not communicate with envoys from other countries.
They are still not used to communicating in public.
They are used to expressing their opinions in secret and small spaces.
As for the room prepared for them by the Ministry of Etiquette, it was not a safe place in their eyes.
They were afraid that there were spies from the Qian Kingdom hidden underground.
Their concerns are right. Although they are not so exaggerated, any sound in this garden will be turned into text and recorded in the headquarters of Black Wing and the Security Bureau.
As long as Yang Yuan needs them, they will appear in front of him.
