Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 159

Zhong Niu came to the Ministry of Rites with Wang Buli's sign.

Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, came out to greet him personally. After all, Wang Buli established a sub-department in the Ministry of Works today.

There were four sub-departments in his Rites Department, and Zhang Shan couldn't bear it if one of them was eliminated.

"We have captured a foreigner who cannot speak Chinese. The Prince Consort sent me to the Ministry of Rites to find an interpreter to see if he is a barbarian envoy."

Zhang Shan immediately called everyone in the host and guest department to go to the Jiangning County government office with him.

If he was really an envoy, Zhang Shan would be sweating on his forehead. How come he was met by Wang Buli?

Just the right price.

So the Minister of Rites personally took action, which made the people of the other five departments feel cold.

As soon as Wang Buli established the Completion Department, he immediately established the Etiquette Department?

Doesn't this allow people to live?

Originally, with such a good emperor as Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone was usually frightened.

Now Lao Zhu has found a son-in-law who is more threatening than him.

It's so fucking fucked up.

Of course, people with clean butts are very optimistic about Wang Buli's operation, so they naturally have no miscellaneous thoughts.

But someone really used it to cling to Hu Weiyong, and his butt became unclean.

Chen Ning watched the Ministry of Rites run away in a hurry. He pursed his lips and drove away the people around him, asking them to work for a while before going home from get off work.

"Hu Xiang, that guy is getting more and more impressive."

Hu Weiyong pinched his short beard, watched the group of people go away, and smiled:

"How normal it is for young people to show off their power!"

"Who in the court does not envy him? He has gone from a low-ranking official to a high-ranking official in an instant. He has walked a journey that will never be completed in many generations and lifetimes.

From being controlled by the Ming Law, he now has privileges in the Ming Law. "

The eight chapters of the Ming Dynasty Code are: discussing relatives (the emperor's relatives), discussing the past (the emperor's old friends), discussing merit, discussing virtue, discussing ability, and discussing diligence.

Yigui (those with the first rank of nobility, third rank of civil and military officials and above, and above the second rank of casual officials), and Yibin (those who inherit the title of state guest after inheriting from their ancestors).

The legal privileges of the royal family, noble relatives, officials and gentry were determined.

For crimes committed by these eight types of people, the judicial department is not allowed to interrogate without authorization. They must actually report the crime and obtain it from the superior.

However, the privileges of Chinese civil and military officials in the "Eight Discussions" of "Ming Code" have declined compared with previous generations.

It was also this year that Chen Ning reported on Li Shanchang and was promoted to Dr. Ronglu. It took him more than ten years to get from the first-class official rank. This was when he was in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he could feel the rapid promotion speed of one or two rockets.

But compared with Wang Buli's promotion speed, that pales into insignificance.

Moreover, Chen Ning thought that he had put in a lot of effort to get this position, but why should Wang Buli?

Just with a face?

Chen Ning gets extremely angry every time he thinks of the proverb that reading well is not as good as looking good.

Men, young and old, subconsciously love to show off.

Now that Wang Buli was pretending to be the boss, Chen Ning, who was also a small official, was extremely unhappy.

Hu Weiyong patted Chen Ning on the shoulder: "That's it, let's take the next step."

By the time Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, led his people to Dian Shi Yamen in Jiangning County, torches had been lit in the yard.

The three monkey-like people are still chained by conjoined shackles.

They had been hungry for a long time. Just now Wang Buli and the others finished their meal without even giving them a bite.

When Wang Buli heard that the Minister of Rites had arrived in person, he stood up to greet him.

Zhang Shan wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve because he was in a hurry. He actually felt quite complicated when he saw Wang Buli.

What this young master did in the imperial city today was really eye-catching and made one's neck feel cold!

"Zhang Shangshu, where is he? Let the interpreter ask."

Then Zhu Mengyan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, asked, and then said to Zhang Shan and others: "They are from the Champa Kingdom."

"Champa?"

Wang Buli thought to himself, aren't these people from the Vietnamese monkey side?

Champa was a county in the Han Dynasty called Oak Forest County. The son of a meritorious official killed the county magistrate and established himself as king, and began to rise slowly.

He took the initiative to attack Soochow and also attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty was powerful, it kept expanding outwards.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was powerful, its national power was also quite powerful.

Perhaps because of historical inertia, it is always necessary to ensure a good balance of forces within the region.

Nowadays, Champa has entered its final glory and has not yet been completely annexed by Vietnam.

Last year, the Champa Army invaded Thang Long, the capital of Vietnam, burned and looted the city and returned home. The emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Ruizong, personally led troops to attack Champa this year.

If nothing else goes wrong, next year the emperor will be killed by the soldiers of the Champa State. They will take advantage of the situation to rob and burn the Vietnamese capital again.

Moreover, after the capital of Vietnam, it will be burned and looted by this small country for the third time.

After the Ming Dynasty declined, Champa also declined.

Wang Buli listened to Yuanwailang Zhu Mengyan's translation. It was probably that their country was in crisis, and he hoped that Ming Dynasty could lend a helping hand and provide some support.

They are not next to the Ming Dynasty at all, separated by the Later Li Dynasty, and are on the edge of the ocean. What's more, the Ming Dynasty has not even conquered Yunnan.

Wang Buli curled his lips and had no interest in these small countries.

It was a place to stay during Zheng He's great voyage.

Zhu Mengyan said that they encountered a storm on the boat and the person who could speak Chinese died, leaving the three of them begging all the way to Yingtian Mansion.

Wang Buli was very surprised. According to the road guide set by Lao Zhu and the actions of the inspection department, it was impossible for these people to reach Nanjing smoothly, and they had to be tied up on the way.

"How did they get through?"

Upon hearing Wang Buli's question, Zhu Mengyan replied that they had a sign on their bodies, so the soldiers thought they were messengers and let them go.

"It is really commendable that these people are so sincere in coming to pay tribute to my heaven."

Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, stroked his beard and couldn't help but praise him.

Behavior like this, in his opinion, is admiration for the Celestial Empire, which is why he has overcome all difficulties and dangers to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"I will definitely report to His Majesty truthfully. It will be recorded in the history books and passed down as a good story."

Zhang Shan was very happy. He felt that this was an improvement. The neighboring countries all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty to the world.

This is a weapon that subdues others without fighting.

Wang Buli raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't think that someone who couldn't speak a word of Chinese could pass through many obstacles and deal with the soldiers smoothly.

It's not that Wang Buli doesn't believe in them, it's that Wang Buli doesn't believe in those Ming soldiers at the bottom who have experienced a lot.

Especially those in the Inspection Department, at a pass far away from the capital, it was extremely lucky that the three of them were not sold as slaves.

Not to mention that there were so many inspection departments, but none of them had any evil intentions.

They are so lucky, right?

Especially when Zhang Shan said that this matter should be recorded in the history books, Wang Buli noticed that the muscles on the face of a black boy moved.

"Prince-in-law, can you free them from their shackles?"

The Minister of Rites asked politely.

"Untie it." Wang Buli ordered again:

"Since he is an envoy from Champa and not a prisoner, he should be treated well.

Let them eat some noodles first to fill their stomachs, so as not to say that I am not polite enough and am as knowledgeable as the monkeys in the south. "

The smile on Zhang Shan's face was very forced. He knew that Wang Buli looked down on these barbarians.

Fortunately, the only three lucky ones left could not understand Chinese.

Wang Buli just called people monkeys, could they still refute him?

The three people were told by Zhu Mengyan that the man in front of them was the emperor's son-in-law, and they all came to pay their respects, holding a bowl of hurried noodles in their hands until they had all finished eating.

Zhang Shan is ready to say goodbye. These people will eventually be sent to the Huitong Pavilion to rest, waiting for him to report to His Majesty tomorrow.

A group of people walked outside the county government office under the light of the fire.

"stop."

Wang Buli shouted again.

One of the messengers stopped subconsciously and continued walking forward.

However, Zhang Shan and others stopped and looked back at Wang Buli.

"Zhang Shangshu, I suddenly remembered that you haven't eaten either. Why don't you ask someone to order some noodles for you? Otherwise, if I only provide food to the envoys who occupy the city, they will think that I love watching monkeys and don't take care of the people of Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Wang Buli's "considerate" words, Zhang Shan quickly waved his hand and said there was no need to spend any money.

The rest of the Rites Department also did not want to have dinner with Wang Buli, fearing that they would cause trouble for themselves if he got hold of something.

The messenger Fan Cang was relieved when he walked out of the county government office. He didn't know whether Wang Buli's loud shout just now made him focus on him.

It was dark and he relied on firelight. He must not have that good eyesight, right?

This is actually a political show.

Although Champa was besieged by an army led by the Chen Dynasty emperor, it was still under control.

The main purpose of performing such a performance at this time is to gain more favor from the Ming Dynasty and obtain more benefits!

Otherwise, why would you make yourself so miserable?

Fan Cang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the people from the Ministry of Rites discussing Wang Buli's words, his heart began to rise again unconsciously.

They said that Wang Buli solved cases like a god and even took over a sub-department of the Ministry of Industry this morning. They did not dare to eat at the same table with this underworld judge.

Even though it was Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, he still had some concerns.

Everyone is willing to stay away from Wang Buli. It would be great if he could not come to the public house of the Ministry of Rites.

To prevent him from sitting in the public room, the school inspector would come and arrest a large number of people.

No one can afford this risk!

The envoy Fan Cang began to worry. Wang Buli just shouted stop on purpose. Was it to test himself?

trouble!

He had never met such a difficult person two years ago. Why did he want to act this year but met such a difficult person?

Moreover, this person called them monkeys in his words, which was too insulting!

Even though Fan Cang was thick-skinned, he felt very uncomfortable.

But for the sake of more benefits, he had to endure it, otherwise he would have to sue him in front of the emperor.

However, Fan Cang quickly came to his senses, and even the current Minister of Rites was polite to him.

I almost forgot, he and Da Mingzi are the same family!

After everyone left, Wang Buli chuckled:

"You bitch, you're so damn shameless and love acting, but you're actually made to be a messenger."

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Zhong Niu and Jiang Huan.

"Fourth Master, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Buli walked towards the stable:

"There was an envoy from the Champa Kingdom who could speak Chinese, but he just pretended not to be able to speak Chinese, deliberately attracting attention, and showing that he had gone through untold hardships, ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and wanted more benefits. .”

"what?"

The two looked at each other. They both believed in Wang Buli's judgment, but they were unable to verify it.
