…

Recently, Honglu Temple has been on fire.

Not only has the personnel been greatly expanded, but Li Yan also personally ordered the Honglu Temple to be upgraded from the Zhengsipin Yamen to the Zhengsanpin Yamen.

Ma Kuo also entered the ranks of quasi-first-class members.

In fact, Ma Kuo, who was born in the military, was originally not interested in diplomacy, but in leading troops to fight - he really wanted to lead his troops to fight on the battlefield and live the life of a golden iron horse.

Unexpectedly, Ma Kuo went further and further in the diplomatic industry.

Recently, various countries have come to Dazhong to pay tribute, and Li Yan ordered the establishment of embassies in various countries with which he has contacts to solve the problem of state-to-state exchanges.

Seeing that his duties and powers are getting heavier and heavier, and the battles in Dazhong are getting fewer and fewer, it may not be long before peace will usher in an uncertain how long it will last, Ma Kuo slowly put away his dream of being a general and began to devote himself to being his first diplomat in the world.

this day.

As soon as Ma Kuo came back from the court, Zhi Zhichang and others came to report: "Xianggong, Beihai County Shou reported that there is a ghost country that wants to come to pay tribute." ”

At the beginning, not long after Zhi Yanwen and Zhi Zhi often came to Honglu Temple to participate in negotiations with Western Xia, Dazhong and Western Xia formed an alliance, and later, Zhi Yanwen returned to Fuzhou to lead the troops, while Zhi Zhichang has stayed in Honglu Temple to serve.

By the way, not long ago, Zhi Zhichang's father, Zhi Yanzhi, was also used by Li Yan and sent to Shu to serve under Wu Jue, and the Zhi family completely became the minister of Dazhong.

Speaking of which, some people may ask, isn't Zheyan loyal to the Song Dynasty? How did you accept the appointment of Dazhong?

This is true of loyalty to the Song Dynasty, but now, the Song Dynasty has perished, and there is absolutely no chance of turning the tables around, Dazhong is the only legitimate official dynasty in the world, therefore, no matter who it is, if there is no ambition, then Dazhong is his only choice, as for Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang, but whoever has a little knowledge, will never choose their grass platform team that has no prospects.

And Zhe Yanzhi, who is not yet forty years old, how can he be willing to retire to the mountains and forests like this, besides, the whole of the Zhe family is all working for Dazhong, and more than a dozen of the girls of the Zhe family are Li Yan's concubines, and the Zhe family has a hereditary marquis, which can be said to be very favored, so as long as Zhe Yanzhi is not pedantic to the extreme, how can he continue to insist stupidly?

In addition, the identity of Zhe Yanzhi was degraded in the first place, how could he not want to find a chance to prove himself? Just like Liu Yanqing, after suffering a big defeat, he fought a lot of beautiful victories, washed away a lot of shame for himself, and was not completely nailed to the frame of shame, in other words, for the former loser, the opportunity is more precious.

Therefore, it is normal for Orihiko to have this choice.

After Ma Kuo heard the name of the "Wandering Ghost Country", he didn't react for a while to what kind of country it was?

After reacting for a while, Ma Kuocai said: "But the Wandering Ghost Country in the north of the North Sea? ”

Zhi Zhi often said: "This is the country." ”

After a pause, Zhi Zhichang said again: "This ghost country is not far from our Dazhong Beihai County, and the fishermen and merchants of Beihai County occasionally go there to fish and trade, and their king wants to send his prince to meet His Majesty after hearing that our Dazhong has unified the world. ”

An official of Honglu Temple answered, and said: "This ghost country, without a city, is scattered according to the island, digging several feet deep, and erecting trees on both sides, and building a house. Everyone is dressed in leather, and the dog hair and linen are clothed and clothed, and the woman wears winter clothes and deer skins, and summer clothes and fish skins, and the system is the same as the fang. It's frustrating, and there are benefits of salt fish. The earth is cold, early frost and snow, after each solid ice, the wood is six inches wide and seven feet long, and it is applied to it, so as to trample the layer of ice, and chase the beasts. Multi-dog. More than 10,000 victorious soldiers. There is no respectful salute or bureaucratic law. I don't know the order of the four seasons. If he has entered the country by stealing in, he is called. The bow is more than four feet long, and the arrow is the same as that of China. There is singing and dancing. Die and unseal the tree, cry for three years, and have no more than one serving. What is the use of such a small backward country? ”

Zhi Zhi often listened to the words, and said: "No, the whole world is the king's land, and within the four seas, there are all kings and ministers, although the ghost country is quite small, but as long as it is willing to submit to my Dazhong and my emperor, how can it not accept it?" ”

Listening to Zhi Zhichang's point of view, Ma Kuo nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "This son's pattern is good. ", and then said: "Okay, whether to accept or not to accept this ghost country, it is not our turn to decide, and we have our own officials and a group of rulers to decide." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Kuo remembered something again, and then asked, "By the way, what is this ghost country going to pay tribute to?" "——Ma Kuo is preparing to write a recital to Li Yan about the Ghost Country's desire to pay tribute.

Listening to Ma Kuo's question, many officials were smiling!

Seeing this, Ma Kuo said, "Do you want to send beautiful women to the official family again?" ”

Li Yan's lustful reputation was completely punched, so much so that almost all of the people who came to pay tribute paid tribute to Li Yan with some beauties, as if they were afraid that Li Yan would not die of exhaustion.

One of them replied, "They are going to offer their two princesses, who are called "Kamchatka pearls." ”

The man said with a smile on his face.

In fact, if you think about it, the ghost people, who live on fur and fish, wear pig skin and deer skin in winter, and fish skin in summer, the whole thing is a group of wild people, where can their beauties beauties?

Taking a step back, even if there are some beauties among the ghost people, they are all vulgar village women.

Such a woman, let alone Li Yan, the emperor, is a man from a small rich family, and she can't look down on her.

One person smiled and said: "Fortunately, it is this ghost country that pays tribute to His Majesty." ”

Another person asked, "Why did Lord Wei say this?" ”

The man smiled and said: "This ghost country has some dealings with our China, and it is their princess who is sacrificed, it is estimated that they can understand some rules, if the Yaksha country pays tribute to His Majesty beauties, then ...... Tsk......"

This Yaksha country is still in the north of the country of wandering ghosts, and it is said that the people there are all with their fangs sticking out, and their appearance is very scary, so they are called Yaksha people, and their country is called Yaksha country.

As soon as this person said this, many people were full of smiles.

Seeing this, Ma Kuo glanced at the official who ridiculed Li Yan, and then said leisurely: "Just now, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites gave advice to the official family, saying that many officials are too unruly now, and some officials dare to speak arrogantly about the official family, take the private affairs of the official family for fun, and take the royal dignity as a child's play, and ask for heavy punishments for such officials, and suggest that all officials who insult the royal dignity will be demoted at the least, and will be expelled from the court and never hired!" ”

As soon as Ma Kuo's words came out, the smile on the official who ridiculed Li Yan suddenly froze, and the other officials didn't care much!

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dazhong has been pursuing unification and rapid development, so some have neglected the education of etiquette and law.

This responsibility mainly lies with Li Yan - Li Yan is a little too pragmatic and doesn't like to engage in vain things, besides, Li Yan is still a person in later generations in his bones, and he is used to freedom of speech, and in later generations, it is normal to make fun of the leader, and it is not a big deal, so Li Yan did not care about these things, and even, some people proposed it, but they were also blocked by Li Yan, who wanted to take care of the overall situation at that time.

Now, Dazhong is about to complete the unification and is about to become a great empire comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties. More importantly, how should this feudal rule be maintained? You can't always rely on Li Yan's personal prestige, right?

Therefore, the issue of rectifying discipline has once again been raised.

Moreover, this time, many large, medium and high-level leaders, including Wen Huanzhang and Zhao Ding, supported the rectification.

Therefore, rectification is already imperative!
