Mr. Ma really doesn’t understand Zhao Wei’s thoughts. His idea is very simple. Since he wants to cheat, he has deceived everyone. Why do some people want to cheat, but some people can’t cheat?

He didn't understand that there was no perfect scam in this world. Any fake thing had flaws, and only scams that could shut up those who saw through the scam.

However, although Mr. Ma doesn't understand, he has one advantage, that is, he will do whatever his fourth brother asks him to do.

In his eyes, the fourth brother is the heaven, a great hero, and an existence that can turn the world around.

The fourth brother said he would bury it, so he would bury it! He didn't need to understand this.

Zhao Wei and Ma Xiaoyi came out of Dong Laoqi and were about to return to the city, but they saw that Wang Wulang was about to go to heaven again and were directing everyone to take off.

When he saw Zhao Wei, he hid it and roared, "Hurry up! Fly up quickly!"

But how could Zhao Wei not see it?

He was so angry that he rushed up and scolded: "You must fall down sooner or later!"

"I am ugly in front of you. Even if you die, you have to pass on all your skills to me before you die! Otherwise, I will not let you go as a ghost."

His words were vulgar, like cursing, but Wang Wulang didn't care at all.

On the contrary, I think that King Ning is good at this and is close to him. Who he scolds means he really cares about it.

He was born as a coconut farmer, and had a bad life. If King Ning scolded him like this, Lao Wang felt so happy.

When I saw this, I didn't hide and looked down on my face, "Hehe, don't worry, Your Highness, not only will we get a successor for Your Highness, but we will also teach you ten. At that time, no one will be in a position to kill you."

Zhao Wei glared at him viciously, "I'm waiting for you to come down!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the city with Mr. Ma.

He did not persuade Wang Wulang to come down again, and he could not persuade him, so he simply lost sight and was not upset.

Mr. Ma said on the side: "What do you care about him? If he is obedient and does not take risks, he will not be Wang Wulang."

"Second brother, don't be as good as him, go back home quickly! When you are in a wedding, you will throw your sister-in-law away from your house the day before, which is not suitable."

Of course, Zhao Wei knew it was not appropriate, but when he returned to the city, he had another thing in his heart, "Let's go, accompany me to the Ministry of Rites."

Mr. Ma was stunned, "Ministry of Rites? Looking for Lu Junshi?"

"right!"

"What are you doing with him? Haven't you ever informed him before and want to go to the envoy of Jirigua? I think the fourth brother doesn't have to worry about him at all, and he has been left alone for more than half a year. Don't talk about Jirigua, even if he wants him to go to the Yuan Dadu, he is willing to go."

Zhao Wei: "It was because I had been hanging for half a year that I had to go and check it out. Otherwise, Lu Xiang would be resentful and it would be difficult to meet in the future."

"What's more?"

"Besides, the next task is very heavy, I'm afraid that Lu Xiang can't stand it."

"Can't hold it?"

Ma Erye thought to himself, that's new! Who is Lu Xiufu? He is the one who dares to tie the emperor's waist and drill into the sea. What can he not hold back?

To be honest, although Mr. Lu is a bit miserable recently, it really takes a lot of attention. In the entire Song Dynasty, the person Ma Erye admires the most is his fourth brother. His fourth brother can do everything, and his fourth brother has three heads and six arms.

But who is the second one? It’s not Wen Tianxiang, nor Zhang Jue, nor is it the Rabbit Master who turns the world around most people, but Lu Junshi.

Mr. Lu, that kind of mind is beyond comparison to others, and it is worthy of the second master's thumbs up.

"The fourth brother is thinking too much! I think there is nothing that Mr. Lu can't stand."

"Really?" Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows, "Then you just watch!"

The two went to the Ministry of Rites and found Lu Junshi directly.

Zhao Wei took a turn and said nothing more. He just notified Lu Xiufu, who was idle, to prepare. After ten days and half a month, after the fake cauldron is ready and the Second Master is buried, he will join the envoy with Lu Junshi to Jiligua.

And as Ma Erye said, it made Gun Lu very happy and gave Zhao Wei a big gift, "I will definitely not be humiliated!"

"Oh!" Zhao Wei sighed in a fake way, "I have indeed neglected Prime Minister Lu during this period."

Although Lu Xiufu agreed in his heart, he was indeed neglected! But he said, "Don't neglect, no neglect! I am also rare to take the time to cultivate."

But Zhao Wei said, "I hope this is the case!"

"Hmm?" Lu Xiufu was stunned and said to himself, what does it mean? I didn't understand, what does it mean to hope so?

Zhao Wei's explanation came soon, "I hope Lu Xiang really takes the opportunity to cultivate! Because next, Lu Xiang will be the most tiring one among everyone, and I am really afraid that Lu Xiang can't hold on."

After hearing what Zhao Wei said, Lu Jun was really a little arrogant, and he was so happy that he wanted to be happy.

"Don't be idle?"

Zhao Wei: "Do you think that among the six ministries now, the most popular one is the Ministry of Works, followed by the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and even the Ministry of Justice is noisier than the Ministry of Rites?"

Lu Xiufu nodded, "That's natural."

Wang Zhonglin from the Ministry of Works is about to fly. No, it is already flying.

New technologies are released almost every few days, and under the command of his assistant minister, they will be applied to the army and the people soon, and they have made a lot of attention in the court.

Wang Zhonglin, a small minister, was almost caught up with his husband's appointment.

The Ministry of Rites

Well, the Ministry of Rites is actually very important, responsible for the court's etiquette, diplomacy, priests, etc. In this era, it is not a trivial matter.

But if you really have to be serious, it is not that important.

Just say, what can the Ministry of Rites do now?

The Fusang Song Dynasty was in a period of full preparations for war, and everything was given to the military, and the imperial court's rituals were simple.

There is no way to talk about diplomacy, which made him feel the Neo-Confucian style. The locals around him only wanted to do business with the Song Dynasty, but did not want to talk to the Song Dynasty.

He, the Minister of Rites, has become a decoration.

"What your highness means is the rituals are going to get busy?"

Zhao Wei nodded, "Yes! And it's not just busy."

"Isn't it just so busy?" Lu Xiufu frowned and thought about it, but he didn't think it through.

Zhao Wei: "Let me say that, soon, the Ministry of Rites will become the busiest yamen in the Song Dynasty, even busier than the Ministry of War."

"It will also become the most important yamen in the Song Dynasty, which is more important than the Ministry of Works. Because the key to success or failure lies in the Ministry of Rites!"

"How do you say it?" Lu Xiufu was shocked and became energetic.

Only heard Zhao Wei continue: "Secretary Lu, just as I said to Wang Zhonglin and Chen Xiang that day, the situation has changed and it has become different."

"If they remain unchanged, they will be eliminated!"

"The Ministry of Rites is the same. No matter how unchanged it is, it will be eliminated. Moreover, if the Ministry of Rites is eliminated, it will not only be an yamen, but the future of the Song Dynasty!"

"Hiss!!" Lu Xiufu gasped.

I thought to myself, can you stop scaring me here? Is it really that serious? Wang Zhonglin will be dismissed from office at most. Why did he come to me and say it is like destroying the country? What a big deal!

Zhao Wei also saw the disbelief in Lu Junshi's eyes.

"Let me say that, after the sedimentation of the past six months, I think the Minister of Land should have given up the idea of ​​using Neo-Confucianism to gather the natives, right?"

Lu Xiufu pondered for a moment, "I'm just letting go!"

It is unrealistic to really let go. After all, that is the knowledge that Lu Junshi has accumulated from dozens of studies since he started with a white-clothed Confucian scholar.

But if you don’t let go, you really dare to leave me alone!

What can Lu Xiufu do? In order to have something to do and to save the country, he has to let go even if he doesn’t let go!

"Your Highness has come to this point, gathered the three Qibuchas, and now he is going to attack Kirigua again. If I still hold on to Neo-Confucianism, then I would be too ignorant of practice."

"That's enough!"

Zhao Wei understood Lu Xiufu's thoughts and did not give up on Neo-Confucianism. However, I don't need you to throw away Neo-Confucianism, as long as you can let it go temporarily.

"Since that's the case, Xiao Wang begs Prime Minister Lu to stop thinking about Neo-Confucianism before the Song Dynasty escapes danger, and don't treat yourself as a good person!"

"Ah!?" Lu Xiufu was a little confused.

Zhao Wei: "Master Mainland, Maya has dozens of city-states, plus Aztec and Cusco, the diplomatic problems we have to face are very serious."

"This is why I said that the Ministry of Rites will also change. We can no longer regard these Indians as barbarians. If we still do that, our Song Dynasty will perish!"

"Different from city to city, each means will be taken! Only in this way can we conquer each tribe as quickly as possible. Otherwise, our Song Dynasty will perish!"

"However, after conquering it, how to unite these new Song people? How to make them truly depend on the Song Dynasty? This is not diplomacy, but internal propaganda. If you don't do it well, you will be separated from your morality and will be destroyed by the Song Dynasty!"

"Even if the Ministry of Rites does a good job, they will use all means to conquer all cities and states; even if the Ministry of Rites does a good job, they will make everyone in each city and state look to the Song Dynasty. But is this enough?

"The Yuan Dynasty plus the four Khanate countries were five powerful forces. The Song Dynasty did not rely on means and just fought head-on. Can it win?"

"How to deal with the five opponents? This is back to diplomatic strategies. If you don't do it well, the Song Dynasty will have a life-threatening death!"

"Also, I also intend to hand over another important task to the Jinyiwei in the hands of the Ministry of Rites!"

"The Jinyiwei cannot be independent, nor can it be lifted too high. An intelligence investigation department, too far out of status, will cause great trouble! Although I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, I cannot lay the root of disaster for future generations."

"So, it is most suitable to put it in the Ministry of Rites. It complements diplomacy and internal propaganda and serves as a fulcrum."

"Also, the increasingly complex diplomatic environment has made diplomatic and internal propaganda not only literati diplomacy and cultural diplomacy. In the future, foreign exchanges, propaganda, technical exchanges, and propaganda in military wars can also bring considerable benefits."
