Chapter 1005
Although Li Er currently had some important things to do in Chang'an City.
He couldn't stay here forever.
If he stayed in Chang'an for too long, he was afraid that there would be changes in Jin Ling.
But right now, Great Qin was starting to use force; if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to return to Jin Ling.
Compared to the throne, the throne is obviously more important!
But he couldn't afford to lose face either.
This left Li Er in deep, painful conflict.
"Damn, Great Qin is actually using force!
Xuanling, what should I do?"
Trapped here, what could Fang Xuanling do?
He could kneel and kowtow to Qin Mu on the throne on Li Er's behalf.
But when it comes to being a human stool, they have to kneel in a row, as a "staircase" of different heights.
How to substitute?
Completely impossible to substitute!
It could only be Li Er himself, kneeling and prostrating!
"Li Er, don't worry, let me think of a way."
Fang Xuanling was also a bit panicked.
If they had known it would be like this, they shouldn't have stayed for the sake of some alliance in the first place.
Now, the alliance was formed, but Li Er was facing the loss of face, and it seemed there was no way to avoid it.
But, things had reached this point, and even Fang Xuanling was momentarily short of ideas and couldn't think of any good way.
"Li Er, how about finding a master of disguise to paint you as a person from a foreign state?
At the moment, it seems that's all we can do."
Li Er was a bit unwilling.
"Isn't that deceiving oneself?
Even if the face is painted as someone else, the one kneeling there is still me, right?
No, I must escape, escape in disguise!"
These words startled Fang Xuanling.
Based on his understanding of Great Qin, since the celebration process had already been notified to them.
They would absolutely not have the opportunity to escape.
"Li Er, don't think about escaping; when have you ever seen Qin Mu have things he couldn't calculate?"
Li Er was also momentarily blinded by anger.
Reminded by Fang Xuanling, he suddenly woke up.
Indeed, escaping is absolutely impossible.
They are in Chang'an City; who knows how many secret agents are watching?
As long as he has the thought of escaping, he will probably be treated even worse by Qin Mu.
The only way is to cooperate with Great Qin.
There is no way to hide!
Li Er let out a wail, not expecting that coming to Great Qin this time would lead to such a thing!
If the news of him being a human stool for the Qin Huang in Great Qin spread back to Great Tang, then he, the Emperor, would lose all his face! Fang Xuanling advised.
"Li Er, why don't I go and talk to Muhammad, and we'll all dress up as Arabian people?
At least on the surface, it will look a bit better."
This is also a way with no other way; Li Er waved his hand miserably, letting Fang Xuanling handle it himself.
Wang Yangming left the Great Tang mission and turned to the Arabian mission.
He only needed to notify these few great powers personally.
Qin Mu only wanted to slap these few great powers in the face in public.
Slapping small countries in the face has no meaning; if anyone is disobedient, just wipe them out, it's not worth the effort.
Meeting the Prophet Muhammad, Wang Yangming also handed over the celebration process.
Muhammad was also very angry.
"I only kneel to the one true God, how can I kneel to the Great Qin Huang?"
For Muhammad, who was unconvinced, Wang Yangming didn't have much to say.
"Muhammad, two choices: kneel or die, you decide!"
Muhammad was much calmer than Li Er.
In fact, his psychological burden of kneeling was not as heavy as Li Er's.
Before becoming a prophet, didn't he often kneel to various people?
As soon as he heard that not kneeling meant death, he immediately compromised.
"Dancing at the celebration, this is no problem, I am good at it.
I might need a scepter at that time, I hope the guards won't confiscate it as a weapon."
Wang Yangming smiled slightly.
Just kidding, letting you come to dance, and still allowing you to hold a scepter?
Besides, a scepter, even if it's not a weapon, is an object of usurpation!
"At that time, the Great Qin Ministry of Rites officials will issue you a stick.
Your scepter must be handed over to the Imperial Guard for safekeeping."
Muhammad frowned.
Obviously very dissatisfied with this regulation.
The scepter is a symbol of his power as a noble prophet; how can it be compared to an ordinary stick? But this time, Muhammad did not voice his opposition.
He had already learned his lesson.
"At the end of the celebration, I am to drive the carriage for the Qin Huang and tour the whole city.
This point is no problem; at that time, I will let you see the superb driving skills of our Arabian people!"
Regarding driving the carriage for the Qin Huang, Muhammad did not reject it.
He didn't feel it was an insult to him at all; instead, he thought it was an opportunity for him to show off his skills.
People in different regions have different thoughts, which is normal.
Wang Yangming saw that Muhammad had fully accepted the arrangements for the Great Qin celebration.
That was completing the task, so he left.
These two decrees had many feelings in Wang Yangming's heart.
Different cultures lead to large differences in people's thoughts.
However, no matter what Muhammad thinks, the views of the Great Qin people always remain the same.
He kneels to the Qin Huang, dances in the street to celebrate, and finally drives the carriage for the Qin Huang at the Great Qin celebration.
In the eyes of the people, it means he is willing to be a servant to the Qin Huang.
I don't know if Muhammad will regret agreeing so easily after knowing the thoughts of the Great Qin people?
Wang Yangming felt that before the celebration, it was necessary to notify the people of these arrangements in advance.
The next two countries, Byzantium and Kievan Rus, did not raise any objections.
The most important highlights of the celebration had all been arranged.
Wang Yangming ordered the production of propaganda leaflets to be distributed throughout the city!
Telling the Great Qin people that envoys from several great powers of the time, including Great Tang, would all perform some acts at the celebration.
Seeing the arrangements for the celebration, the people of the whole city boiled over within a few short hours.
"Hey, do you know about the Arabian Empire? I heard the Arabian Prophet is going to drive the carriage for our Majesty!"
"And the Great Tang special envoy actually agreed to be a human stool for His Majesty!"
"Our Great Qin is truly strong now! When were those foreign states ever so polite before?"
"Yes, thinking back to the arrogant appearance of the Turks, I want to cry!"
"Majestic Great Qin!"
