"It seems that Lord Zhao's condition is terminally ill, and it is difficult to recover. ”

Ji Aojian sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive these few days." ”

Ren Xiaodie hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, then hurry up and arrange the funeral for Lord Zhao, and I have to tell the court on the table." ”

"Stop, why do you want to tell the court?"

"The ambassador is about to die, how can he not report to the country?"

"Yes, the ambassador is dead, and the country must have a new ambassador, right?" Ji Ao said, "Maybe this reappointment, the chief and deputy ambassadors will be replaced together, and you will also have to step down and return to China." ”

Ren Xiaodie smiled and said, "That's too happy, what's wrong with going back to China?"

"You're really not motivated at all. Ji Aojian said sadly, "I haven't made any achievements in my diplomatic career, so I want to go back and enjoy happiness, and it seems that the future of your life will end here." ”

Ren asks confusedly, "What future should I pursue?"

"Haven't you thought that you will enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister in the future?"

"Entering the cabinet to pay respects?" Ren Xiaodie said with her eyes straight and dumbfounded, "Such a big and difficult thing can only be done by Seventh Brother, I don't dare to think about it." ”

Ji Aojian shook his head and patted Guta's shoulder, "Tell me, what are your ambitions?"

Guta immediately replied loudly, "I will be the president of Mexico!"

"What!" Ren said with a finger of disdain, "just him?"

"He shed blood on the battlefield and made a contribution to diplomacy. Ji Ao Kendo, "If you accumulate more than ten years of merit in this way, there will be no problem at all in terms of qualifications." When campaigning, you just need to pack it well, and then spend a lot of money to buy votes. Becoming president is a no-brainer. ”

"Well, even if he can become president of Mexico in the future. So what?"

"It's not good, but he's definitely going to visit China during his tenure. Ji Aojian said slowly, "If you are still a mediocre official at that time, maybe you will be sent out to receive Guta and serve him in front of the saddle and behind the horse." ”

"I'm going to serve this little ghost?" Ren looked shocked, "It can't be true, right?"

"No matter what you say, you have also worked on the diplomatic front, and Guta knows you again, and when the time comes, you will be asked to be responsible for the reception, and the imperial court will be in charge of the friendship between the two peoples since ancient times. We will certainly not refuse this reasonable request from the presidents of friendly countries. ”

"I remember you. Guta said solemnly, "If you come to Daming, I will definitely call your name." ”

"What's the big deal, isn't it just a reception?" Ren Xiaodie gritted her teeth and said stupidly, "When the time comes, I will receive you as president, can you still eat me?"

"Girl, it seems that you still don't fully understand. Ji Ao Kendao, "Do you think it's all over just the reception?"

"Except for the reception. What else could be going on?"

"You think, since the visiting president asked you to receive you by name, it is natural for the community to guess how Guta knew about you and what your relationship is. ”

Ji Aojian told the story. "Under the pervasive excavation of those who are interested, it will be revealed that you first met in the diplomatic circles of London. At that time, he was still an ordinary military attache in the embassy, and you were already the deputy envoy of a country. Who knows years later. He became the president of the head of state, and you were just a petty official who welcomed you. Why is there such a big difference in the circumstances of this life?"

Guta asked. "Such a legendary story will definitely appear in the newspapers of Daming, right?"

"It's a must, and it's going to be the headlines. ”

"This must not happen!" Ren Xiaodie's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Brother Ten, you must help me, I can't be trampled under the feet of this little ghost!"

"Naturally, I'm willing to help you. Ji Aojian sighed, "But if you don't seek advancement, then you can't cultivate it." ”

"I was talking nonsense just now, but in fact, I've always dreamed of one day being able to become a Zaisuke. Ren Xiaodie shouted, "Brother Ten, I want to cultivate, I want to support, I want to support, I want to support ......."

"I didn't hear the last sentence. Ji Aojian said casually, "Now, you know how to get on the table, right?"

"I know, but what is Lord Zhao's condition, whether he is dead or alive, I will tell the court that he has nothing to do. ”

"No, you still have to inform the imperial court that since Lord Zhao arrived in London, he has been infected with malaria because of miasma, but he is still presiding over official business despite illness. ”

Fluttershy said curiously, "Miasma?"

"England is a barbarian land, uncivilized, full of miasma, so this London city is called the city of fog by the world. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "Even if Zhuge Wuhou was on an expedition to the Southern Barbarians, the miasma he encountered was not as good as the British Isles. ”

Ren Xiaodie suddenly realized, "It turns out that the gray fog weather in this city is a miasma, and I said that I couldn't breathe well after I came." ”

"Under such a harsh working environment, although all the staff of the Ming Embassy were infected with the epidemic, they were still high-spirited, united as one, and had frequent contacts with the people of European countries, and carried out various diplomatic work excellently and effectively. ”

"Why do you write that?"

"Since this place is full of miasma and is even more sinister than Yunnan back then, do you think the imperial court will send someone to supervise your work?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Since the imperial court will not come to inspect, then after the unfortunate death of Lord Zhao, it is logical that you will work as an ambassador. ”

Ren Xiaodie somewhat understood, "Tenth brother, do you mean that Lord Zhao has passed away, and I won't inform the imperial court and act as a direct agent?"

"When you return to China at the end of your term, casually say that Lord Zhao's term of office is about to expire or even that the days are over on the way back, who can check you?"

"You're right, the court really won't notice it. Ren Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and pointed out the door, "But there are a lot of people in this embassy, and when Lord Zhao passes away, it is difficult to ensure that they will not send accurate news to China." ”

"This is easy to do, it just so happens that Lord Zhao is not out of breath yet. Ji Aojian said, "You just tell the embassy that Lord Zhao is infected with the plague and must be moved to a manor outside the city to recuperate." After being out of their sight, Lord Zhao has been 'recuperating', how dare they indiscriminately report the death of a high-ranking official to China?"

"But what if they were going to visit Lord Zhao, who was already in the ground by then?"

Ji Aojian glanced at her, "Have you heard that after a person has a plague, he will be enthusiastic to visit him?"

"No, it won't. Ren Xiaodie immediately shook her head, and then asked worriedly, "Tenth brother, Lord Zhao can't really be infected with the plague, right?"

Ji Aojian was inexplicable, "Why are you suddenly scared, can't you figure out the truth or the false?"

"It's hard to say, the miasma here is so bad, maybe he really has the plague. Ren Xiaodie sighed, "A barbarian is a barbarian, and the living environment is simply a heaven and an underground compared to my beautiful Celestial Empire." ”

"Do you think there will be no miasma after the Celestial Empire?" Ji Aojian sneered, "One day, there will be a smog lock on the imperial capital, a sandstorm sweeping outside, and a lack of water sources, so you can't see the blue sky and white clouds all year round." (To be continued......)
