Tian's little cook

Chapter 602
It is common for Fanbang and dependent countries to pay tribute. According to the usual practice, Huangfu Xuan will receive them together, and then return gifts for them to take back.

"It can be dealt with according to the previous method, and the Ministry of Rites is fully responsible." Huangfu Xuan said indifferently, obviously not taking the matter to heart.

But Mu Zizhuo's words were not finished: "Your Majesty, this time there are two envoys sent by the affiliated countries who are not ministers, but princes. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to receive them as veterans."

The most important thing in the relationship between countries is to treat them equally.Although Mu Zizhuo is a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a first-rank minister, he always feels that he will neglect the other party's prince when he comes to receive the other party's prince.

Li Zhijing sneered secretly, no wonder this Mu Zizhuo was called "wooden" because he was too rigid in his work.

He said that he was a subsidiary country and Fanbang of the Dasheng Dynasty, and it was considered a face-saving thing for Shangshu to receive these princes. Could it be that the princes of the Dasheng Dynasty were really allowed to entertain the princes of the subsidiary countries?
Isn't it a joke!
Huangfu Xuan knew that Mu Zizhuo liked to admit death, his mind was full of red tape, and he scrupulously implemented etiquette, which made him feel funny, but he also admired it.

"Then according to Mu Shangshu, what should I do?" Huangfuxuan asked with a good temper.

"Dasheng Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and etiquette is the most important thing. When communicating between countries, the word "sincerity" comes first, and sincerity makes them obey."

Huang Furui was disturbed to hear that, he didn't like to hear Mu Zizhuo drop his book bag the most, opening and closing his mouth is the way of etiquette.

Not only him, but many other ministers were also impatient.

Especially the ministers standing at the door, the door of the main hall was open, they were chilled by the wind, and they wanted Mu Zizhuo to shut up or finish speaking quickly and leave the court early.

After Mu Zizhuo finished a long speech, he got to the point: "So, according to my view, our dynasty also needs to send a prince to receive it, so as to show our sincerity."

There are only two princes in the court, Huangfu Rui and Huangfuchu, they have never been in charge of external etiquette reception before, let alone they don't need it at all.

The old god Huang Furui stood still on the ground, and began to try to evade the statement.

What he didn't expect was that Huangfu Chu took the initiative to stand up: "Father, my son is willing to take charge of this matter with Mu Shangshu."

Huangfuxuan originally wanted to find a reason to push this matter away and let other people go. Seeing that Huangfuchu was willing, although he was surprised, he was still quite happy: "Okay, then Chu'er will be in charge."

After retiring from the imperial court, Huang Furui deliberately walked to Huangfu Chu's side and said with a smile: "The third younger brother is really busy with affairs after he became king, and he has to personally receive the envoys from the subordinate countries. No wonder the father thinks so much of you."

The implication is to ridicule Huangfu Chu's self-deprecation.

"Second brother is serious." Huangfu ignored his provocation at first.

Huang Furui made fun of himself, and flicked his sleeves to greet Empress Li.

"Thank you, my lord, for your help." Mu Zizhuo bowed slightly towards Huangfuchu.

When he brought up this matter, he didn't have much hope, but Huangfu Chu was willing to take the initiative to help, and he was really overjoyed.

"Master Mu is wrong. It's my duty. How can I 'help'?"

As soon as this remark came out, Mu Zizhuo became more optimistic about him.

After these three princes became king, they were neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor could they make friends with ministers, which was very rare.

Huangfu Chu saw his admiration, but remained calm.

He took the initiative to take on this errand today, not to help of course, but to help himself.

In his next plan, the Ministry of Rites is a very important part.

Even if there was no matter of the court today, Huangfuchu would find other ways to get close to Mu Zizhuo and establish a good relationship with him.
