After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 505 The Great Teacher
"Since they don't know that you are a princess, then we won't punish them." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Catherine, since you are the princess of Britain, of course we must treat you with the etiquette of a Ming guest."

"You shouldn't go back to a pickled place like Xiaoxiangyuan."

"Just live in Honglu Temple."

"Every day, I will treat you with delicious food and drinks, and I will also give you good clothes to wear."

"If you want to go back one day, we will send you back to Britain by boat."

"If you want to be a small official, we will satisfy you." Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan had made Marco Polo an official before, so Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could also make her a small official.

It's almost enough to be in charge of the granary in a small county.

It is a unique sight for a foreigner, and even a foreign woman, to be an official in the Chinese government.

After all, things are rare.

"I don't want an official position." After hearing the translation from Prince Zhu Biao, Catherine shook her head, "I, the prophet, just want to know the whereabouts of that Mr. Qin, and I will always be by the prophet's side."

After speaking, there was a gleam of hope in his eyes.

Zhu Biao translated again.

prophet?

The ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this!

Just now they thought Qin Yu was a fairy.

And now, even foreign princesses think he is a prophet!

Such a person, how terrifying is his knowledge?
Horror!
It can't even be described as terrifying, it can only be described as mysterious and unknowable.

"You and he just had a dewy couple for one night. In that kind of place, it's a business. How can you be so affectionate to him?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in surprise, having seen her deep friendship from her eyes.

I am filled with emotion in my heart, the charm of Mr. Qin is simply terrifying!

Let such an overseas woman miss him... It would be understandable if it was a Daming woman who treated him like this, such as Princess Ningguo, a pretty widow in the village.

The key point is that she is a Briton, with different aesthetics and culture.

Zhu Biao translated again.

"Because he is a prophet and guides me." Catherine said after hearing this.Then he knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang, "I beg the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to let me follow Mr. Qin."

"I'm afraid we really can't agree to this request." Zhu Yuanzhang said after hearing the translation.

"How about this, you stay at Honglu Temple first."

"As for Mr. Qin's willingness to see you, it depends on what he thinks."

"Thank you, Emperor Ming!" Catherine said, and after thanking her, she left Fengtian Hall.

……

"What kind of charm does this Qin Yu have, that a person from overseas can treat him like this after meeting him only once?" Zhu Yuanzhang said after seeing Catherine leave, and he didn't know whether it was envy or jealousy.

Any man will inevitably be a little confused when encountering such a situation.

Because men are competitive in this regard.

"Father may not know yet." Zhu Biao said, "At that time on the flower boat, when Mr. wrote that English poem, the British princess looked at him with such admiration."

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, but he was a little unbalanced.

Asked: "Biaoer, can you translate the poem written by your husband for everyone?"

"So that I, a Chinese literati, can also experience foreign poetry."

After hearing this, the officials all had expectant looks on their faces.Among them are many scholars and well-educated people.

Everyone wants to hear what kind of foreign poems can attract a foreign princess and make her fall in love with him instantly.

"I can only translate a little bit." Prince Zhu Biao said, "Because my level of British language is like the light of a firefly, and brighter than the moon."

"Students are compared to teachers, just like a horse is compared to a unicorn."

"The talent of a gentleman is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than a student!"

"Besides, when my husband was composing poems, no one else could understand them. Afterwards, I asked the literati who were on the ship at that time, and with their memory, they could barely remember a few syllables."

In ancient times, most people read books on their backs, so the gifted scholars on the ship had a strong memory.

"Prince, please enlighten me!" said the officials.

"The British poem written by the teacher is like this." Zhu Biao said: "Ah! The wild west wind, the breath of life in autumn."

You are invisible, but the dead leaves are swept away by you
Like a spirit flying away from the mage's long chant,

Yellow, black, gray, red as consumptive,
The plague-stricken fallen leaves scatter in all directions: Oh, it's you,
Drive the winged seed to
Dark winter beds, where they lie,

Like a deathbed in a tomb, cold, deep, low,

Till spring, thy blue sister to the sleeping earth.

(Like herding sheep, sending sweet buds into the air to eat and drink)

Fill mountains and plains with color and fragrance:

O wild spirit, you travel everywhere;
Destroyer and Protector: Listen, you listen!
"This is the first quarter."

"The second stanza is..."

……

"This..." The literati among the officials were dumbfounded when they heard this.

This is also called poetry?

The beginning is a word!
To be honest, they can't understand the artistic atmosphere in "Ode to the West Wind" at all, just like Catherine, who can't feel the beauty and charm in Tang poetry and Song poetry.

"You can't understand the beauty in this poem, and as a student, Bengong also can't understand the beauty of the teacher's poem. This should be the difference between Eastern and Western cultures." After reading, Zhu Biao said conclusively.

"That's right, it should be cultural differences." The literati in the court nodded in agreement.

"But this is the greatness of the teacher!" Prince Zhu Biao said, "As a Chinese, a descendant of Yan and Huang, the teacher can interpret the beauty of Britain, an overseas country, so thoroughly."

"As we all know, if you want to write a peerless poem, you must have a profound cultural heritage, and at the same time, you must have a life."

"With a profound cultural background and life, the poems written can be accepted by everyone."

"Our teacher actually has a profound cultural background and life background from overseas countries!"

"The teacher's knowledge not only covers China, but also covers the whole world! The teacher seems to have lived in Britain, a country we have never known, for hundreds or thousands of years."

"What the prince said is true!" said the officials, "Mr. Qin is amazing."

The prince admired his teacher, and of course the crowd seconded him.

Although there are suspicions of flattery, what they said is the truth and there is no way to refute it.

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, preventing the prince from admiring his teacher, and said, "According to what the British fleet saw, Britain is now at war with France."

"And Catherine also said just now that her country is falling into the quagmire of war."

"Since this is the case, what should we do to be more conducive to the development of the Ming Dynasty?"
