Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 215
What?King Su wants to join the court as an official?
All the civil and military officials were confused. This sentence made sense, but they couldn't explain why.

King Su didn't understand etiquette, so he had to learn etiquette, and then he entered the ceremony department inexplicably?

Is there any reason for this?

Especially the current Sima Zhang Zhi was stunned at this moment and didn't know how to react at all.

On weekdays, court meetings have nothing to do with him, because court meetings are related to state affairs, but as a senior official in the Ministry of Rites, he does not have many affairs, and there are few major matters that require him to deal with.

He just listened to His Majesty reprimanding King Su Zhu Tuo with amusement.

Nothing to do with oneself.

But he didn't expect that while he was happy, he was also happy for himself. This unruly Prince Su would actually want to join his sect?

By then, wouldn't his Ministry of Rites be in chaos?

"Your Majesty, Prince Su is a polite and courteous man. There is no need for him to enter the Ministry of Etiquette," Zhang Zhi said against his will.

When Zhu Tuo heard this, there was a hint of joy on his face: "Father, have you seen it? This is the appreciation of me by the Master of Rites. Why don't you let me go back?" Zhu Tuo was halfway through his words when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent eyes. The words reached his lips. , swallowed it back.

"Zhang Aiqing, don't say any more. Who doesn't know who King Su is? When the time comes, let him know more about the rules. Learn more about the rules. Learn more about the rules. Don't worry. How do you want to teach him a lesson? As long as you teach me a lesson, I will never ask."

Zhang Zhi looked helpless, but he knew that King Su was a moody person. Who could make him obedient?

When he was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal him not to speak, "This matter is over now, no need to say more!"

After the meeting, Zhu Tuo and Zhang Zhi looked at each other.

Zhu Tuo was the first to speak: "Mr. Zhang, where is our Ministry of Rites? Is this very close to King Su's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi curled his lips. This kid didn't even know where the gate of the Ministry of Rites was. What did she do wrong in her last life?

"In Xuanyi Alley, just south of the city."

"By the way, what are we doing here this time? How many departments are there? How many are there?

Zhu Tuo asked again.

Zhang Zhi had no choice but to explain the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and then patiently explained: "Prince Su, you are the king of a country and the king of a country. According to the etiquette system, you cannot serve in the court."

"Yes."

"In that case, why do you want to join the Ministry of Etiquette?"

"You think I want it? I can't wait to return to Lingnan and show off my talents. To be honest, I have no interest in your etiquette department at all, and I have never thought about going."

"Why don't you explain to His Majesty?"

Zhu Tuo shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly: "Since you are Sima, why don't you ask your father for instructions? You are old, and your father may not let you be beaten because of your physical weakness."

Zhu Tuo and Zhang Zhi sighed at the same time, shook their heads, and said nothing.

Zhang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Prince Su, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for culture, education, diplomacy, etc. Which aspect do you plan to be responsible for?"

Zhu Tuo snorted and said, "I don't know exactly what I want to do, but is there a job here that doesn't require work, pays well, and allows me to skip classes?"

Zhang Zhi: He thought for a long time before hesitatingly said: "This organization does exist, but I'm afraid Prince Su won't be willing to do it."

"what's up?"

"In the ceremony, there is a place named Siyi. This Siyi has three functions. First, it is a diplomatic translator. Some of them are overseas students, and some of them are translators." "Second, What we have to do is to translate Ming's language into the languages ​​of other countries, pass it on to other countries, and at the same time collect information from other countries."

"The third thing is to entertain foreign guests and discuss with foreign guests to show the majesty of Ming Dynasty."

What Zhang Zhi said was indeed about Siyi, but there was more hidden in it.

The Siyi Pavilion is not an important institution, and there are no high-ranking officials. It is not in the same courtyard as the Ministry of Rites, so it seems a bit deserted.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Tuo heard about Siyi's role, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Okay, okay, okay, okay. What I'm good at is contacting foreigners, and I can speak more than a dozen foreign languages. I'll be in charge of the Siyi Pavilion."

The "

As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Zhi hesitated. He didn't want to give up Siyi.

Said: "Your Majesty, although this land of Siyi is not valued by others, it is a bridge for foreign exchanges after all. If our Ming Dynasty wants to negotiate with them, we must naturally show our Ming Dynasty's magnanimity. You must not curse!"
"Nonsense, when did I say a bad word? Moreover, they are just a bunch of savages. When we negotiate with them, we must show our strength to make them look at us with admiration!

Zhang Zhi was shocked and immediately gave him a lesson.

It has to be said that as soon as the Minister of Rites opened his mouth, he quoted scriptures, eloquent, sharp and fierce words. In his words, he even regarded himself as a prince, and wanted to make everyone respect him with his own virtue. Next, Just some obscure words, such as "Yao's style", "his people's style" and so on.

Zhu Tuo laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I have been very well-educated since I was a child. Just like Sima Guang, when I see older princes, I will give them my pears."

Zhang Zhi looked confused, and after a while, he said: "It was not Kong Rong who gave up the pears.

"Well, where's that Sima Guang?"

"broken."

"It doesn't matter. What I want to say is that I am unknown just like them. Come on, come on, lead me the way, and let me see what Sei Land is."

"Siyi" is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. It is located next to the "Ministry of Rites" courtyard in the northeast of Yingtian City. It is not too big and has positions such as "etiquette", "steward" and "imperial cook".

Upon hearing that King Su and the Minister of Rites were coming, Wang Pu, the steward, rushed forward to greet them and asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, from now on, I will go to the Siyi Dojo to work." Zhu Tuo said lightly.

When Wang Pu heard this, his expression immediately changed. He looked at Zhang Zhi beside him in disbelief and asked quickly: "Mr. Zhang, is what this King Su said true?"

If Siyi Pavilion defected to Prince Su's Mansion, this would not be a good thing.

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Su had a bad temper. If someone accidentally offended Prince Su and was dismissed from his post, even the ministers would have a hard time controlling him.

"That's natural. Lord Su is kind-hearted, and he is the most suitable to lead the four barbarians."

Wang Pu was shocked to see that Zhang Zhi, who was always known for his honesty, actually had the nerve to say such treasonous words.

"Mr. Zhang, I just think that the Siyi Pavilion is too small to hire someone like King Su. Why don't you find another job in the Ministry of Rites and let King Su take over?"

"The land of Seyi is too small, so King Su has the opportunity to display his talents."

Wang Pu was full of bitterness, you kid, you are simply unwilling to take responsibility, so you threw King Su to me.

"I've been really busy these days. The North Korean envoys have all arrived, and I don't have time to see King Su. Why don't you think about it, Mr. Zhang?"
