C2142 church hymn

The weather at the end of July was still very hot, so the ceremony in tower bridge was destined to be unspeakably bitter. As for the distinguished guests from the European countries and the royal family, many of them chose to stay there to wait upon the Eastern diplomatic mission.

Only the members of Benjamin's Cabinet could stay at the pier and endure for such a long time. Even though it was not very hot today, they were still feeling a little dizzy from the sun.

This was especially so for Zai Chun, who had just entered the European cathedral for the first time. This was the first time such a thing happened in his life, and everything that happened here deeply attracted him.

High domes, stained-glass windows inlaid with religious paintings, ubiquitous carvings, floorboards of colorful stone arranged into a mirror-like pattern, huge crosses hanging in front.

There was also the organ, with countless flowers and candlesticks. All the benches in the hall were filled with guests. When these people saw the Eastern diplomatic mission enter, they all stood up to give their applause.

Under everyone's fervent gazes, Zai Chun proudly walked at the very front, looking extremely domineering.

As the church was God's domain, even the secular emperors had to lower their heads. When Zai Chun and Xiao Letian were done with their work in the first row, the Bishop of England, on behalf of God, blessed this unprecedented diplomatic event.

Although these words were all useless words, you still had to pretend that you were very focused and in agreement with these kinds of situations.

The Bishop's speech wasted some time, and right after, the choir started to sing a song to welcome guests who were far away. Xiao Letian pretended to listen attentively, and secretly looked at the time while holding his pocket watch in his hand.

"As expected, he's plotting something. Benjamin is stalling for time, desperately extending the time for Zai Chun to appear on the scene, as well as the time for their activities in England. He then purposefully tried to sideline me …"

"Hehe, is that all you've got? This was because he was afraid that he would continue to farm more Reputation! "Fine, fine, fine. I want to see what tricks you can come up with …"

Just as expected, when the singing was about to end, Jin Sanshun suddenly walked over and bent down to whisper into Xiao Letian's ear. He suddenly received a message from his British counterpart, saying that due to lack of time, he would head over to Buckingham Palace in consideration of the Queen's health.

"I'm afraid your speech will have to go to the afternoon …" "What should we do?"

"What else can we do? What could I do with the Queen's health? Promise them … "

"But …"

"There are no buts, carry out your orders!"

Jin Sanshun helplessly turned his head away. Only when Xiao Letian glanced at Benjamin from the corner of his eyes did he realize that the prime minister had been sizing him up as well.

"Old thing, you really are disgusting!" Knowing that the citizens would only be patient for half a day at the most, they would definitely disperse at noon to go home and eat dinner … If we were to speak in the afternoon, even these distinguished guests would be so tired that they might even fall asleep. Who would have the energy to listen to my nagging? "

"The dignified Prime Minister of the British Empire is actually so despicable? "Fine, fine, fine. I'd like to see how long you can be so arrogant for …"

Just as Xiao Letian was secretly gritting his teeth in a struggle, Zai Chun, who was at the side, did not have the slightest bit of consciousness, and was completely immersed in the unique rhythm of the western-style chorus, unable to extricate himself.

The hymn was the most famous of Hendrall's most famous pieces, the "Messiah," by German musician Hendrall. "Hallelujah," the church of St. Paul, with its 120-man choir, sang the hymn of God to the accompaniment of the band.

The classics possessed eternal magic. The western music itself was very focused on order, balance and a surging influence. He was different from the calm and tranquil music style that the literati of Ancient China pursued.

Western music comes into direct contact with human desires, directly provoking your adrenaline and your heartbeat! When the rhythm of the many layers of male and female chants and the echoes of the Dome clashed against each other, Zai Chun was completely shocked at that moment.

Aura, this is the strong aura of religious songs. As the most popular classical song in Christianity, he naturally has a kind of magic that captivates people.

Tongzhi was completely captivated by his master's actions, and did not even notice the fact that his master was whispering to each other. His ears were filled with astonishing singing.

When the hymn finally ended, Zai Chun was the first one to stand up, clapping both his hands hard, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.

"Shaking the hearts of others, it can be said to be the sound of nature!"

If even the Great Qing's emperor was giving them such face, then there was no need to mention the Europeans present. At this moment, everyone was incomparably proud of themselves as they watched their culture receive the recognition of the Eastern Emperor.

All stood up and applauded for the choir, for the archbishop, for God!

"Your Majesty, it is a great honor for you to enjoy this song. This is a sacred song that we offer to God. The most pious believers express their endless praises to God!"

"It is with the blessing of God that Europa has achieved his current glory! Believe me, dear! If you could open your kingdom's gates and let God's glory shine more brightly in the east, I think your empire's rise would not be a dream at all, but a fact! "

Prince Edward started to teach the little Emperor without sparing any effort. Xiao Letian, who was at the side, snickered in his heart, "Hehe, if Zai Chun dares to convert to God, I'm afraid there will be a civil war in Great Qing right away."

"Forget it, since it is the Manchu's civil war, then I won't be afraid of anything big. I'll just let Zai Chun do whatever he wants …"

After the welcoming ceremony of the Church, it was time for the envoys to meet with the distinguished guests from all over Europe. These envoys from all different countries all walked out from their seats and lined up in front of Zai Chun and the envoys.

When the meeting ended, the envoys would switch to the royal Gold Carriage and set off for Buckingham Palace. It was already eleven o'clock, and it was probably the start of the luncheon when they arrived at Buckingham Palace.

But he didn't expect that there would be a major incident here.

As the host, they were naturally not in the middle of the group to shake hands. They had already shook hands a moment ago, and at this moment, Prince Edward and Prime Minister Benjamin were standing behind Zai Chun to give him a simple introduction.

"This is Sir Gard of the Kingdom of the Netherlands... This is the Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Sweden, Jie Sen … This is Ambassador Rembrandt of the Denmark... And this is the Count of Portugal … "

There was no clear ranking. The envoys of the various countries all followed the previous seating sequence and walked in front of Tongzhi the Emperor. The little emperor didn't even need to retract his hand, as he extended the representatives of the various countries with different faces in front of him and held his hands politely with their heads lowered.

Even if he did not give Great Qing face, he had to give the United Kingdom face! Today, everyone understood that Britain wanted to occupy the honor of the first Eastern and Western monarchical diplomacy. Anyone who dared to discredit them today would be an enemy of Britain.

The respectful words poured out like a wave. Zai Chun knew that these were useless words of diplomacy, and couldn't help but blush a little.
