Chapter 519
Although Old Li currently has some important things to do in Changancheng.
He cannot stay here forever.
If he stays in Changancheng for too long, I'm afraid there will be changes in Jin Ling.
But right now, Great Qin is starting to use force; if they don't agree, they won't be able to return to Jin Ling.
Compared to the throne, the throne is obviously more important!
But face cannot be discarded either.
This left Old Li in deep, painful entanglement.
"Sigh, Great Qin is actually using force!
Fang Xuanling, what should I do?"
Trapped here, what can Fang Fang Xuanling do?
He can replace Old Li to kneel and kowtow to Qin Mu on the throne.
But when it comes to being a human stool, they have to kneel in a row, a "staircase" of different heights.
How to replace?
Completely impossible to replace!
It can only be Old Li himself, kneeling and prostrating!
"Old Li, don't worry, let me think of a way."
Fang Fang Xuanling also panicked a bit.
If they had known this, they shouldn't have stayed for the sake of some alliance.
Now, the alliance is formed, but Old Li is facing the loss of face, and it seems there is no way to avoid it.
But, things have reached this point, and even Fang Fang Xuanling was short of ideas for a moment and couldn't think of any good way.
"Old Li, why don't we find a master of disguise and paint you as a person from a foreign state?
Right now, it seems this is the only way."
Old Li was a bit unwilling.
"Isn't that deceiving oneself?
Even if the face is painted as someone else, isn't the one kneeling there still me?
No, I must escape, escape in disguise!"
These words gave Fang Fang Xuanling a fright.
Based on his understanding of Great Qin, since the ceremony process had already been notified to them.
They would absolutely not be given a chance to escape.
"Old Li, don't think about escaping; when have you ever seen Qin Mu have something he couldn't calculate?"
Old Li was also momentarily blinded by anger.
After being reminded by Fang Fang Xuanling, he suddenly woke up.
Indeed, escaping is absolutely impossible.
They are in Changancheng; who knows how many Embroidered Uniform spies are watching this place?
As long as he has the thought of escaping, he will likely be treated even worse by Qin Mu.
The only way is to cooperate with Great Qin.
There is no way to hide!
Old Li let out a howl; he didn't expect 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 Emperor in Great Qin spreads back to Great Tang, then the face of him, the Emperor, will be completely lost! Fang Fang Xuanling advised.
"Old Li, why don't I go talk to Muhammad and we all disguise ourselves as Dashi people?
At least on the surface, it will look better."
This is also a way without a way; Old Li waved his hand bleakly and let Fang Fang Xuanling handle it.
Wang Wang Yangming left the Great Tang envoy group and turned to the Dashi envoy group.
He only needed to notify these few major powers in person.
The ones Qin Mu wants to slap in the face in public are also only these few major powers.
Slapping small countries in the face has no meaning; whoever doesn't listen, just wipe them out; it's not worth spending effort.
Seeing the Prophet Muhammad, Wang Wang Yangming also delivered the ceremony process.
Muhammad was also very angry.
"I only kneel to the one true God; how can I kneel to the Emperor of Great Qin?"
For Muhammad, who was unconvinced, Wang Wang Yangming didn't have that much to say.
"Muhammad, two choices: kneel or die, you decide!"
Muhammad was much calmer than Old Li.
In fact, his psychological burden of kneeling was not as heavy as Old Li's.
Before becoming a prophet, didn't he often kneel to various people?
Upon hearing that he would die if he didn't kneel, he immediately compromised.
"Dancing at the celebration, this is no problem; I am good at it.
At that time, I might need a scepter; I hope the guards won't confiscate it as a weapon."
Wang 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 kept by the Imperial Guard."
Muhammad's brow furrowed.
Obviously, he was 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 speak out against it.
He had already learned his lesson.
At the end of the celebration, I am to drive the carriage for the Qin Emperor and travel around the city.
This point is no problem; at that time, I will let you see the superb driving skills of us Dashi people!
Regarding driving the carriage for the Qin Emperor, 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 ideas; this is also normal.
Wang Wang Yangming saw that Muhammad had fully accepted the arrangements for the celebration in Great Qin.
That was completing the task, and he left.
These two deliveries of the edict gave Wang Wang Yangming many feelings in his heart.
Culture is different, and the differences in people's ideas are very large.
However, no matter what Muhammad thinks, the views of the people of Great Qin remain unchanged.
He kneels to the Qin Emperor at the Great Qin celebration, dances in the street to celebrate, and finally drives the carriage for the Qin Emperor.
In the eyes of the people, it means willingly becoming an attendant to the Qin Emperor.
I don't know if Muhammad will regret agreeing so easily after knowing the views of the people of Great Qin?
Wang Wang Yangming felt that before the celebration, it was necessary to notify the people of these arrangements in advance.
The following two countries, Byzantium and Kievan Rus, did not raise objections.
The most important highlights of the celebration had all been arranged.
Wang Wang Yangming ordered the production of propaganda paper slips to be distributed throughout the city!
Telling the people of Great Qin that the envoys of several major powers of the time, including Great Tang, would perform some performances at the celebration.
Seeing the arrangements for the celebration, the people of the whole city boiled over in just a few hours.
"Hey, do you know about Dashi? I heard the Prophet of Dashi is going to drive the carriage for our Emperor!"
"And the Great Tang special envoy actually agreed to be a human stool for our Emperor!"
"Our Great Qin is truly strong now! When were those barbarians ever so polite in the past?"
"Yes, thinking of how arrogant the Turks were back then, I want to cry!"
"Great is Great Qin!"
