"Since they don't know you're a princess, then we won't punish them." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

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

"A pickled place like Xiaoxiang Yuan, you don't want to go back."

"Let's live in Honglu Temple."

"Every day, I eat and drink well, and I give you good clothes to wear."

"If you want to go back one day, we'll send you back to Britain."

"If you want to be a petty official, we will satisfy you." Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, made Marco Polo an official before, so Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could also make her a petty official.

When a small county is in charge of the granary, it's almost the same.

Foreigners, and foreign women, being officials in the Huaxia government are also a unique scenery.

After all, scarcity is expensive.

"I don't want an official position." After hearing that the crown prince Zhu Biao had translated for her, Catherine shook her head, "My prophet only wants to know the whereabouts of that Mr. Qin, and I will always follow the prophet." ”

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

Zhu Biao translated it again.

Prophet?

The ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this!

Just now they felt that Qin Yu was an immortal.

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

How terrifying is such a person's knowledge?

Terrifying!

It can't even be described as terrifying, it can only be described as mysterious and unknowable.

"You and he just spent one night as a dew couple, and in that kind of place, it's all about business, and you are so affectionate to him?" Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen her deep friendship from her eyes, and said in surprise.

I sighed in my heart, Mr. Qin's charm is simply terrifying!

Let such an overseas woman miss him in her heart...... If it is a Ming woman, it is understandable for him to be like this, such as Princess Ningguo, the pretty widow in the village.

The point is that she is British, with different aesthetics and cultures.

Zhu Biao translated again.

"For he is a prophet and a guide in my direction." Catherine listened, and said. then bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, "I beg Emperor Ming to let me follow Mr. Qin." ”

"I'm afraid we really can't agree to this request." After listening to the translation, Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"In this case, you stay in Honglu Temple first."

"As for whether Mr. Qin is willing to see you, it depends on his thoughts."

"Thank you, Emperor Ming!" After Catherine finished speaking, she thanked her and left the Fengtian Temple.

……

"What kind of charm does this Qin Yu have, so that an overseas person can only meet him once, and treat him like this?" After seeing Catherine leave, Zhu Yuanzhang said, I don't know whether to be envious or jealous.

Any man, when he encounters this situation, will inevitably be a little puzzled.

Because men are competitive in this regard.

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

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this matter, but he was just a little unbalanced in his heart.

asked, "Biao'er, can you translate the poem made by your husband?" ”

"So that my Chinese literati can also see foreign poetry."

When the ministers heard this, their faces also showed expectant eyes. Among them, there are many scholars and scholars.

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

"I can only translate a little bit." Prince Zhu Biao said, "Because my level of British is like the light of fireflies and brighter than the bright moon compared with my husband." ”

"Compared to the teacher, the student is like a horse than a unicorn."

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

"Besides, when the gentleman wrote the poem, no one else could understand it. Afterwards, by asking the literati who were on the ship at the time, with their memory, they could only barely remember a few syllables. ”

In ancient times, most of the students read with backrests, so the talents on the ship had a strong memory.

"Please teach the prince!" The ministers said.

"The teacher's Britannica poems are like this." Zhu Biao said: "Ah! The wild west wind, the breath of autumn life. ”

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 tuberculosis,

The plague has fallen its leaves and scattered to zero: Oh, it's you,

Deliver the winged seeds with a car

In the dark winter bed, where they lay there,

Like a dead hole in a tomb, cold, hidden, lowly,

Until the spring, your blue sisters go to the sleeping earth.

(It's like herding a flock of sheep, driving sweet flower buds into the air to feed and drink)

Fill the peaks and plains with color and incense:

O wild elves, thou hast traveled nowhere far;

Saboteur and Protector: Listen, listen!

"This is the first verse."

"The second verse is ......"

……

"This ......" The literati and scholars among the ministers were dumbfounded for a while.

Is this also called poetry?

The opening is a word ah!

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 and Song poems.

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

"Yes, it should be a cultural difference." The literati in the court nodded yes one after another.

"But that's where the teacher comes in!" Prince Zhu Biao said, "As a Chinese and 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 deep cultural heritage, and at the same time, you must have a life."

"Only when you have a profound cultural heritage and life can you write poems be accepted by everyone."

"Our teachers actually have the profound cultural heritage and life heritage of overseas countries!"

"The teacher's knowledge not only covers China, but also the whole world! It is as if the teacher has lived in Britain, a country that we never knew about, for hundreds or thousands of years. ”

"That's what the prince said!" Qunchen said, "Mr. Qin is amazing. ”

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

Although there is a suspicion of sycophancy, what people say is the truth and cannot refute it.

"Alright." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, stopping the prince from continuing to admire his teacher, and said, "According to what the British fleet can see, Britain is now at war with France. ”

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

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