In order to prepare for exchanges with the Kushan Empire, the Sabbath Empire, and the Roman Empire, Guo Peng established the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance and has been preparing for this.

Although the countries of the Western Regions are not the goal of Guo's diplomacy, it is also a skill to let the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs practice their skills in advance and master how to deal with the vassal states.

In order to join forces with the Western Regions to deal with the Xiongnu, the Han Empire also took a detour.

From the very beginning of the Jin Yuan diplomacy to the later stick diplomacy, the Western Regions countries turned into vassal states, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suffered a lot of losses.

At first, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he could buy them off with money, but he realized the truth that meat buns and dogs had no return, and then turned to the diplomacy of sticks and gold yuan.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money to find a way to deal with these small countries, successfully manipulated the internal affairs, foreign affairs and military operations of the Western Regions, and set up the Imperial Protectorate in the Western Regions, which carried out a more active mode of imperial rule than the feudal rule.

As a result, the Han Empire undoubtedly became their father.

The long-term superiority made the Western Regions countries have long lost the courage to confront the Wei Empire.

Now there is no need for Guo to go through the path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they even take the initiative to beg Guo to be their father.

Since they took the initiative to beg Dad Guo to be their father, of course Dad Guo didn't mind having an extra batch of filial sons and grandchildren.

So Guo Peng, the son of Wei Tianzi, ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to set up a battle and meet with the envoy of Shanshanguo.

Of course, it's not for them to go to see Daddy Guo.

Father Guo has a lot of opportunities, so he doesn't have time to meet these filial sons and grandsons one by one, let them find a place to live first, learn the etiquette of the Wei State, and wait for everyone to almost arrive, and then meet together to solve the problem in one go.

Thinking that he was going to have a lot of filial sons and grandchildren, he knelt in front of him and shouted Long live his father, and Father Guo's face showed a leisurely smile.

The life of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire was so ordinary and boring.

Being kneeling in front of so many people and shouting Dad, anyone has to swell.

Because the countries of the Western Regions came to worship Wei Tianzi one after another, Xinbi, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, became an important figure during this period, which many people did not expect.

They can't be blamed, because since the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been very nonexistent, and although the various departments have the same rank, they have different things to do, and their powers are not uniform.

So Simbi has never had anything serious to do.

They were collecting information all day long, stockpiling information about the countries of the Western Regions, investigating various news about the Kushan Empire's resting empire and the "Great Qin State", carefully screening and compiling these news into a book for the emperor's inquiry.

There is nothing else to do.

Because the Wei Empire did not have vassal states when it first came to the Han Dynasty, and was surrounded by enemies, Xin Bi and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were still very bored, with no responsibilities and no power, just a small transparent one.

After being a Qingshui Yamen for a few years, this life is hard haha, except for the official salaries and benefits, no one even comes to bribe them.

Because there is no demand for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The dignified 2,500 stone ministerial-level high-ranking officials, there was no one to stammer.

Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was ridiculed as a tabula rasa yamen, which means that the yamen does not do anything, and naturally there is no extra income, so it is particularly clean.

During this period, officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not hold their heads up in front of many other departments.

They always feel that they are inferior, and when they return home, they have no confidence to talk to their mother-in-law at home, and they are not too embarrassed to say to relatives and friends that they work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Other departments are forging ahead, working overtime desperately, and then keep getting promoted and raised, reaching the pinnacle of life, and countless people have completed a gorgeous turn of fate.

Only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a backwater.

However, in the Cui Qu case that swept the court at the beginning of the third year of Yande, only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs retreated because it was widely ridiculed and looked down upon.

Simbi not only saved himself, but also his subordinates.

The rest of the major departments of the entire Shangshutai have different degrees of thunder, Shangshu Ling and Shang Shu's servants have been punished, and the major Shangshu has no good life, only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is safe.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also received some rewards from Guo Peng, which provoked Xin Bi and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to laugh and laugh.

Later, Simbi realized some truth from the results of this incident.

He came to the conclusion that the absence of power is not necessarily a bad thing, and thus the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to salted fish to a certain extent.

The members of the ministry sang the songs of the ancient sages, drank tea and chatted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all day long, and wrote copywriting, living the life of a retired old man to a certain extent.

And because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has little to do and has no power, the degree of harmony within the ministry is far greater than that of the other major departments.

This has to be said to be a wonderful chemical reaction.

Of course, this kind of salted fish cannot last.

The Wei Empire could not be without vassal states and diplomatic states forever, and Guo's enterprising spirit obviously did not allow such a thing to exist for long.

And Guo is not willing to spend a sum of money and welfare to feed a group of salted fish.

At the end of the third year of Yande, the news that the countries of the Western Regions had come to worship the Emperor of Wei spread throughout Luoyang.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the first to learn that Xin Bi was summoned by Guo to the Qinzheng Palace again after a long time.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, on the way to the palace, Xin Pi found that he was wearing one less shoe and running on the ground with a foot bag, and then found that the official hat was not wearing the right one, and the belt was not fastened, which was very rude.

So Xin Bi hurriedly returned to the official office to put on his shoes, rearrange his appearance, and then ran to the palace to accept Guo Peng's summons and listen to the order.

The order Guo Peng gave him was simple.

Let him lead the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make some advance preparations for the special garrison of the vassal states and the diplomatic states prepared for the vassal states and the diplomatic states when Luoyang was repaired earlier.

They are placed in different courtyards according to their different countries and statuses, so that they can live more peacefully.

Then let Xin Bi discuss with Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Guo Guo, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Let Cui Yan send someone to help Xin Bi and teach the envoys of the Western Regions about the etiquette of worshipping the Emperor of Wei.

Let Guo Yi send someone to help Xin Bi and teach the envoys of the Western Regions about the laws of Wei that should be observed during their stay in Luoyang.

Let them know what to do, what not to do, and the consequences if they break the laws of Wei.

Of course, after all, they are official emissaries, and if they have any needs, they can also meet them appropriately.

Subsequently, Guo Peng gave Xinbi an order to transfer troops, allowing Xinbi to mobilize two squads of 100 forbidden army soldiers as the garrison force of the Lifan Yuan.

To protect and monitor the personnel of the vassal states and the countries with which the feudal domain has diplomatic relations in the Rifan Yuan.

The Criminal Department may send commissioners to regulate their conduct, and if something goes wrong, the Criminal Department may coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to mobilize the forbidden army to detain and punish the envoys of the vassal states, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be prosecuted in accordance with the law.

Anyway, you have to listen to me on my territory, and if you dare not listen to me, you will be driven away at least or beheaded at worst.

For Guo, this has been planned for a long time, and for Xin Bi, it is bittersweet.

After a few years of leisure, is there finally something to do?

Finally, don't you have to be ridiculed for being a tabula rasa?

Finally, you don't have to be looked at by your clansmen and brothers with strange eyes, do you still think that you are being politically exiled?

Simbi's excited inner cow was full of faces.

Then Simbi immediately burst out with endless action, and immediately returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, woke up all his salted fish subordinates, and told them that they were about to do something.

The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were inexplicably excited, found their dreams, and finally got rid of salted fish and completed their own self-redemption.
