Although the British were hurt at the banquet, they were of no use. The two sides had lunch and restarted the consultation in the afternoon. Their positions were as firm as ever, and no one was willing to give in.

Yi? If the British were willing to kneel down and bow down, they would allow them to set up an embassy in Beijing to tell them. However, seeing that the British had never shown any signs of loosening, even if they took out such conditions, they would not have much effect. So, they should wait a little longer.

For a whole afternoon, the two parties who were discussing each other went back and forth, their tongues and lips burned, and their faces became very ugly. Yi? Finally, he couldn't bear to slap the table! When he thought that this time, he would be able to make contributions, but he didn't want to meet such a few people who didn't want to come in? "We are here to discuss the matter of entering the city with your special envoy, and we are determined to give in to each other, so the matter is feasible. Today, the envoy is so serious that he has no sincerity. In this case, even if I am punished by the emperor, I don't care about many people. "

Before Mai Huatuo could finish his translation of his words, Gui Liang and Li Tangjie hurriedly stood up, persuaded him a few words, and comforted him. Then, Li Tangjie looked at the envoy helplessly: "Mr. Special Envoy, Your Highness, the prince is young and always can't bear it. Please don't be surprised by the envoy."

Birmingham smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"However, Mr. Special Envoy, your country is afraid that it is not a way to get along with each other, right?" Li Tangjie saw that it was getting too late and said no more: "The consultation today has no results. I think we will be here for the time being. Tomorrow, we will restart the talks. OK?"

Birmingham nodded and agreed, led the group to get up and leave the seat, raised the top hats on his head, and came out one after another.

He sent the British envoy out of the gate, and Yi and others returned to the house and sat around to discuss matters: "Shan Weng, Duke Yuan (this refers to Li Tangjie, whose courtesy name is Wenyuan). When discussing with the British, you always have to be honest with the heart of heaven. Don't get the cart to hit the wall in the end, and it's better to be uncontrollable." Yi and looked around and said, "I just were afraid that the British would not be willing to be able to adapt. Even if they had the emperor's will, it would be difficult to impress such people who did not know how to educate themselves!"

"The prince doesn't have to worry about this. The emperor wants to be unhurried, and he is just thinking about it. If the British refuse to bow their heads, from my point of view, he would rather do a mess than let them enter the city, so as to avoid those Qingliu, who "prepared the prime minister and ruled the constitutional scriptures" from the side again!"

"Although Brother Wenyuan's words are just a legitimate statement, they are probably inconsistent with the emperor's holy intention, right?" Li Tangjie's words immediately attracted Gui Liang's rebuttal: "If it is really a matter of rituals that leads to the British being unable to enter the city, and the emperor's dragon heart is unhappy, so what?"

"I will take care of everything alone!"

"You take responsibility? You have to bear it." Gui Liang's words were very unpleasant. Li Hongzhang and Bao quickly stood up to persuade him, but the two of them did not start arguing, but the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

They can fight for their will. Yi? As the righteous envoy of this trip, he cannot just talk too fast. He still needs to deal with many things. "I don't know what the situation will be like tomorrow. If only this is the only way to talk back and forth, the matter will be of no help?" As he said that, he sighed, his expression was very helpless.

After resting for a night, we met again the next day, and sat together, we became much more familiar with each other. Birmingham smiled and learned from Yi's appearance: "Good morning, your highness."

"Good morning, Mr. Envoy."

"I hope our consultation today will have a result that will satisfy each other."

“I have the same desire as Mr. Envoy.”

"Mr. Special Envoy, I feel deeply embarrassed. This time, I allow your country to come to Beijing to pay homage is the great kindness of our emperor. In order to enhance the friendly consultation between the two countries, and to seek a solution to the disagreement that the minister of your country has occurred in Guangdong Prefecture. If the envoy finally refuses to be able to adapt to the etiquette and law, he is afraid that the emperor of our country will have to be put into trouble." Yi? He is very dissatisfied with the other party's unwillingness to be at all, and his tone becomes cold: "If any disputes arise from our two countries outside Guangzhou City caused by this, you will bear all the responsibility."

"Your Highness, I am sorry that we can never reach a settlement on such a problem. What our country requires is that your country can fulfill each other's obligations in accordance with the content agreed in the Treaty of Jiangning. But now, it is your country's local officials who encourage the people to conquer the city and refuse to allow our ministers and entourages to enter the city. Is it necessary to blame us for not achieving tacit understanding in the ceremony today?"

"Mr. Special Envoy, this time I came to Tianjin. In addition to discussing the details of the ceremony of entering the city with you, the matter of Guangzhou City is not the scope I want to discuss with you. The emperor of our country has not given me such authority to avoid the seat, so we should not discuss other issues, right?"

"Your Highness, I have explained to you more than once, the ministers and gentlemen you accompanied you that the five bows are the highest etiquette allowed by our government to pursue to Your Majesty the Emperor of your country. It also represents the highest respect our country has for your country to respect Your Majesty. You must know that even when we meet Her Majesty in our country, we only bow three times."

"Just!" Before Yi was waiting for any statement, Li Tangjie couldn't help but interrupt: "Does the Special Envoy think that Your Majesty the Queen of Your Country can be compared with His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty? You must know that the Celestial Dynasty has always been the sect leader, your country..."

"Do you want to say that I, Daying, is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty?"

Before he finished speaking, he refuted the other party. Thinking of the conflict during the Daoguang period, the Qing Dynasty was defeated in shame, and Li Tangjie could not speak against his conscience - even if he was willing to say it, the other party would not agree at all, and he was unable to continue!

Yi? smiled helplessly and said to the side: "Mr. Special Envoy, there is one thing that His Majesty the Emperor of my country allowed me to inform you and your colleagues in advance. That is: If this time the entry to Beijing goes smoothly, the emperor of our country can not only order the envoys and people of your country to enter Guangzhou City, but also consider allowing the establishment of your country's consulate in Beijing City."

Mai Huatuo was stunned. He even forgot to interpret the words, but Alitu did his part on his side. This time, Birmingham's eyebrows also frowned, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Highness, aren't you lying, are you?"

"Of course not. The two countries are in exchange and I come here at the emperor's order. How can I lie in front of the special envoy?"

"If that's the case?" Birmingham thought for a while, "Please allow me to arrange something to convey the kindness of your emperor to the Prime Minister and Her Majesty the Queen of our country. I think they will definitely be very happy to hear such good news."
