Chapter 3 You are also a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
"Your Highness has given you the award. This time, I am not participating on behalf of Lan Fang. I am participating on behalf of Hujiang Jiaotong University in China. How can He De be regarded as a hero of Lan Fang?"
Facing Zhu Youdong's praise, Gu Kun said modestly, reminding him of the subtle relationship:
It is difficult to raise dragons in shallow water. I think someone has achieved what he has achieved today. It is impossible to rely solely on the supporting facilities of his motherland, Lanfang. If he stays in Lanfang all his life, he will not even have the chance to compete in the curve.
At the same time, Gu Kun also expressed his intention subtly: Lanfang's market is not enough for me to covet it at all costs. I must look far away and look at the overall situation, so that there will be no "no repeated games."
One-shot deal shortsightedness.
Zhuangzi would not snatch Huizi's chancellor, and Phoenix would not snatch an owl's rotten rat.
Zhu Youdong is also a man who has matured with age. He immediately smiled and reconciled the situation:
"There are things that we cannot accomplish in our work. It took less than 12 years for Brunei to fully realize its goal of establishing a country. Brunei next door and our country have not yet joined the Olympic Committee.
However, since we in Brunei have talented people like you, the government support must be better than that of Brunei’s mediocre neighbors who have no ambitions. Don’t worry, this year we will find a way and go through the procedures to join the Olympics.
Organizing Committee.
It’s just that we are starting from scratch, and there is still a lack of relevant sports management talents. If you have someone to recommend, you can help handle it. I hope that you will not avoid relatives when you are promoted internally, and you will not avoid enemies when you are promoted externally. I will definitely use them."
How could Zhu Youdong be able to be the king of the country without having two skills?
"Then thank you, Your Highness, for your success."
"Well, get in the car and follow me back home. We will have a banquet in Fanglin Garden tonight to entertain our hero."
Gu Kun followed the Grand Duke and got into two Rolls-Royces one after the other.
"Three children died at the hands of James Bond, and they could still buy a luxury car of the Britannia brand. It's really bearable." Gu Kun couldn't help but ponder the Grand Duke's ideology while in the car.
It was a shame to say that although he was a reborn person from two lifetimes and was a citizen of Lanfang in his previous life, he had never seen Zhu Youdong up close before.
Mainly because he was relatively slow to prosper in his previous life. By the time his business fortune reached several million ringgit, he was already in his thirties. At that time, Zhu Youdong was already over seventy years old. He was too weak to care about state affairs and did not welcome the domestic business community.
Celebrities die of old age in a few years.
Gu Kun's impression of the Grand Duke in his previous life was only based on other people's descriptions. Now that he has the opportunity to observe it in person, of course he must verify it carefully.
Seeing is believing.
…
The convoy arrived at the Duke's Palace in five minutes.
The Duke's Palace is located in the northern suburbs of Lanfang City, facing south and facing the mountains. To the west is a high cliff facing the sea. It is surrounded by a Japanese-style ancient stone wall, which further raises and flattens the overall foundation.
There is a moat outside the stone wall, but because it is on a mountain, it is completely still water. It is only used as a landscape embellishment and has no defensive function. It has a circumference of about one kilometer, and each side is two to three hundred meters long.
It’s almost the 21st century, and the moats are used to raise koi for viewing, just like the moat at the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
There is also a bridge on the moat, which is also the same as the Second Bridge in Tokyo. The gatehouse at the head of the bridge is a single-eaves Xieshan Peak, and the plaque reads "Shoming Palace" in three traditional Chinese characters.
This is the official name of the Duke's Palace. It was given by Zhu Youdong when he returned to the country more than ten years ago. Obviously, this naming rule is the same as that of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The words are taken from "The Book of Songs. Daya", which is very consistent with the Ming Dynasty.
The country’s etiquette and laws are constant.
Gyeongbokgung Palace comes from the chapter "Being Drunk with Wine, and Being Satisfied with Virtue. A Gentleman for Ten Thousand Years, introduces you to Gyeongbok". Zhaomyeong Palace uses the second paragraph of the same article, "A gentleman for ten thousand years, introduces you."
"Er Zhao Ming".
After passing the moat bridge and palace wall, the buildings inside are all Chinese-style.
Gu Kun knew that this legacy of inner and outer Japan was due to the glue pillars and zithers he learned when he was studying Shuri Castle in the Ryukyus. The outer layer of Shuri Castle is also relatively Japanese in ancient style.
In ancient times, this style was also more suitable for small-scale castle defense. Japanese castles only provided protection for the daimyo's palace and castle tower, and the citizen buildings were all outside the castle town. However, the ancient Chinese castles protected all the citizen buildings.
Wrapped in the city, who can afford this luxurious style?
After all, it is a small foreign country and not as rich as China.
The motorcade drove until it stopped at Fanglin Garden, and then Zhu Youdong, Sa Wuyang and Gu Kun filed in, chatting and laughing happily.
Fanglin Garden is the royal garden of Zhaoming Palace. All rare tropical plants are planted according to local conditions. A banquet with separate meals has been set up in the garden, and everyone is seated.
On the table were Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, steamed Eastern Star Pancake, braised three-knife pork belly, pan-fried and stuffed lobster balls in shells, and several other side dishes, which seemed to be relatively light and elegant, but there were no beef, mutton, or pork dishes.
Zhu Youdong naturally sat in the middle, facing north and south. Sa Wuyang sat below him on the left, and Gu Kun sat on the right.
Gu Kun also noticed that the Grand Duke was very courteous to the corporal and even brought his family members out to meet guests.
Next to Zhu Youdong sat a lady in her fifties, probably the duchess, Sa Wuyang's eldest sister.
The lady was accompanied by a little girl who looked like she had just entered junior high school. She must be Zhu Youdong's daughter, Zhu Youran.
It was the first time for everyone to meet, so Gu Kun naturally wanted to give a polite toast, so he generously held a goblet filled with red wine, first performed the courtesy with the Grand Duke, and then drank with the Duchess and Princess.
Say some polite compliments.
"Hello madam, hello princess."
Everything was just like an interview in a diplomatic setting, with only the most formalities.
The Grand Duke and his wife all drank wine. The little princess had just entered the first grade of junior high school, so of course she drank fruit juice.
As the wife and daughter of a head of state, I am used to this kind of meeting, so I won't feel cramped.
Mrs. Sa looked Gu Kun up and down carefully and asked about his career and his trip to Japan to compete. Her eyes shone kindly and she praised: "He is really one of the younger generation in Lanfang.
You are an outstanding person. We southerners rarely have someone as tall and mighty as you, and you are also very talented. Xiao Gu, I believe you will make our country richer and stronger in the future."
"Madam, you are so complimentary." Gu Kun withdrew modestly like a gentleman.
However, his modesty was quickly interrupted by a Luo Yin: "What's wrong with this? You can tell at a glance. You are so tall. No wonder you swim so fast."
The little princess Zhu Youran stood up and walked over naturally, pulled Gu Kun's sleeve, and looked carefully before and after.
He also stretched out his hand and gestured horizontally above his head, and finally gestured to Gu Kun's elbow joint - actually it was said to be a horizontal gesture. When Zhu Youran gestured, his palms were slightly tilted upward, just like other people who like to compare heights with others.
Just like a little kid, he cheats a little bit.
But even so, it was just an elbow bump.
"You are almost 1.9 meters tall. It's no wonder that your legs are so long." After saying that, Zhu Youran hid next to Mrs. Sa, turned to her mother quietly and said, "Mother, he is so hypocritical, telling lies with his eyes open.
"
"Youran, don't be rude!" The duchess stopped her quietly and explained to Gu Kun, "Gu Sheng, don't be as knowledgeable as a child."
"Of course." How could Gu Kun be as knowledgeable as a twelve or thirteen year old child?
While answering, Gu Kun looked at the child naturally.
Hu Jiansa's family is a Semu family, so Zhu Youran has a bit of mixed-race characteristics, with naturally curly hair, and some dark brown-red in the black, which is very bright.
The eyes are a bit dark blue, not completely black, and the skin is very white. He is actually a little short, probably only 1.3 meters, but this is also related to his age. Maybe he will have a lot of room to grow taller in the future.
After all, the appearance of the child was just an interlude. After drinking for a few times and eating some dishes, she had almost finished speaking her praises about Gu Kun for bringing glory to the country. Mrs. Sa took Zhu Youran away to rest first, leaving the rest.
The next three men discuss the state of the country.
After Zhu Youdong watched and confirmed that his wife and daughter had left, he quietly changed his expression: "Xiao Gu, I won't say any polite words. There are no outsiders here. Let's be honest. The police team's surprise inspection of Blackwater security, and the follow-up
I hope this conflict can be resolved.
This matter was indeed caused by the search party being careless, and it really angered COSCO. However, both sides are injured now. Yours was more seriously injured, but Qu Gang and Yu Weilie have also been transferred to Yousi.
It will be seven years after the procedure is completed. Everyone is just asking for money, so don’t make trouble again."
Lanzhou does not have the financial resources to support so many legislative experts, so it basically just copies foreign laws.
If the torture to extract a confession does not result in serious injury, the sentence will be less than three years. But if there is serious injury, the punishment will be heavier than the same level of intentional injury, and the sentence can be up to seven years.
In Zhu Youdong's capacity, and according to the independence of the Division FA advertised by Lan Fang, he should not have directly said the sentencing for cases that have not yet been tried. Wouldn't that be the Division FA of Administrative Intervention? But in order to appease the other party, it is also okay to reveal the details in advance in private.
For the sake of mutual trust between both parties.
Before Zhu Youdong spoke, Gu Kun did not know the sentencing for this matter.
Gu Kun was silent for a few seconds, and then he laughed at himself softly: "It seems that His Highness also thinks that Zhu Jingye's motive for doing all this is for Lan Fang?"
Zhu Youdong said confidently: "I can vouch for Jingye on this point. He should be afraid that Lanfang will be involved in the whirlpool and be attacked by the West. However, I am also very pleased. Through this time, I can see that you are not blindly pro-China.
You didn't make those reckless moves."
Since the Grand Duke said this, Gu Kun had to give some face to him conditionally. After all, there was no conflict between the two parties.
If you want to take revenge, or even kill Zhu Jingye, you still have to do it slowly, by letting the Grand Duke gradually understand the true nature of his distant nephew.
"Okay, I promise your highness. As long as there are no new misdeeds to prove that everything Zhu Jingye did has other agendas, I can compete fairly with him and live in peace. However, if one day I find that he is like Chen Mingcheng, he has done something for his family."
For selfish interests, colluding with other foreign forces, and intending to be detrimental to the country, I will..."
"He dares! If this is the case, of course everyone will kill him." Zhu Youdong said proudly without being angry or proud.
"Then it's settled."
