It has to be said that His Majesty Li Er does have unique charm as a superior. Nearly half an hour later, the students and faculty and staff who were originally nervous about His Majesty Li Er's arrival had all surrounded His Majesty Li Er.

From time to time, you can hear His Majesty Li Er's hearty laughter and the excited laughter of everyone around you.

The other ministers were waiting quietly, with a faint smile on their faces. Only one person felt bored...

That’s right, of course, this person is our Crown Prince Li Chengqian! Although I admire His Majesty Li Er’s method of "winding people’s hearts", but... I’ll be bored after eating for half an hour?

When leaving the cafeteria, everyone followed His Majesty Li Er, with reluctance and excitement on his face. His Majesty Li Er turned around and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone should be busy with whatever they should be. I will come to the academy to visit you often if I have time!"

Well...you can imagine the scene ***...

Waving his hand to everyone, His Majesty Li Er walked directly to the college gate surrounded by his ministers. He had seen all the things he should see, and had communicated with the students of the college. It would be fine if he stayed there. Everyone was busy, and it was time to go back to their own homes!

...

The affairs of the Military Academy have come to an end for the time being, and there is nothing Li Chengqian has to do. However, he did not rest here. He just rested in the East Palace for two days and was urged by His Majesty Li Er to report to the Honglu Temple!

After Li Ke reminded me about the Honglu Temple, after he realized that there was a difference between it and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in later generations, Li Chengqian specially found someone to learn more about it.

Unlike what he believed that the Honglu Temple was the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" of the Tang Dynasty, the main functions of the Honglu Temple were two, namely the guests and the affairs of the evil spirit.

The so-called "guests" matters mainly refer to diplomacy; the "bad ritual" matters refer to bad rituals and funerals... That's right, the Honglu Temple, which Li Chengqian believed to be the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" of the Tang Dynasty, was also in charge of funerals, which was also surprising to Li Chengqian!

However, the main responsibility of Honglu Temple is diplomacy, and there are several subdivisions:

1. Welcome and send off, and serve as an envoy. At this time, foreign envoys are different from those in later generations. They are all received by the Honglu Temple and then wait for the summons of His Majesty Li Er. Unlike in later generations, they must be greeted by the same person according to the level of the visitor!

2. Distinguish the position, see the concierge, and transfer the documents and reports. This is easy to understand. People have relatives and close relationships, and interactions between countries should also be divided into friendship, kindness, hostility, etc. If the relationships are different, of course they should be treated differently!

3. Accept tribute, hold banquets, and take charge of the accommodation, food, medical care of foreign envoys. There is one thing that surprised Li Chengqian here, that is, after these foreign envoys came to the Tang Dynasty, all the expenses they returned to their country were borne by the Tang Dynasty... Isn't this a bit too generous?

4. Management and translation work of international students. Not to mention, this should be the business of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It seems that there are many things happening in the Honglu Temple, but if you think about it carefully, it is really as Li Ke said. This is a leisurely department, and the position of the Honglu Temple Minister is also a "fatty man"!

To be idle, except for the fact that the diplomatic work of the Tang Dynasty is affected by subjective and objective factors, there are actually very few people. There are not many envoys who need to be received in a year for Honglu Temple. Moreover, there are more than 200 staff members in the Honglu Temple, so Li Chengqian, the temple minister, does not need to be too busy at all!

As for the fat man... the same thing is true. If you give gifts to each other in one country, you can't give some worthless rags, right?

After losing psychological pressure, Li Chengqian no longer resisted His Majesty Li Er's order. He came to Honglu Temple early the day after receiving the message from Liu Zhong!

Not to mention, his men are quite good at doing things now. They should have known in advance that Li Chengqian is coming to take office today, so when he arrived at the gate of Honglu Temple, many people had already stood here, obviously coming to greet him!

"I'm here to pay homage to the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Li Chengqian got off the frame, everyone saluted in unison... Although Li Chengqian was the Minister of the Honglu Temple, no one really dared to treat him as an official who was only from the third rank. They still have this awareness!

"I learned that His Highness the Crown Prince came to Honglu Temple today, and the officials specially led all the staff of the Honglu Temple to welcome him. If there is any inappropriateness, please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to include it!"

Li Chengqian glanced at the person who was talking indifferently. It was Zuo Yiming, one of the two young ministers of the Honglu Temple. He said with a slight smile: "Haha, I didn't expect that it was the members of the Honglu Temple who came to welcome Gu. Gu was really flattered!"

Zuo Yiming was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Li Chengqian would have reacted like this, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"It should be, it should be that Your Highness is a great honor for his subordinates to come to Honglu Temple to serve. He is the subordinate..." Another young minister of Honglu Temple, Wei Ziheng, was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted again and said with a charming smile on his face. However, before he could finish his words, Li Chengqian smiled faintly, ignored him, and walked directly into Honglu Temple.

Wei Ziheng, Zuo Yiming and others were left looking at each other, a little confused, and looked confused... Anyone could feel Li Chengqian's strangeness, but...

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is..."

"I had an interaction with the prince before, and I was quite friendly. Why did I change today?"

"Do you think our welcome ceremony is not grand enough? Or do you don't like our welcome with such a big fanfare?"

"No, as we all know, the prince's biggest annoyance is these red tape, how can he care about this? And... the prince is kind to others, this is well-known. I have had contact with the prince before, and the rumors are true!"

"Will anyone among us offend the prince?"

"Barring, do you think we are the ones who are qualified to offend the prince?"

"Yes, but since we have never offended the prince, there is no place to be rude... I'm afraid the person who came is not kind!"

"Oh, no matter what, let's be careful. Don't really anger this person. He is quite favored by His Majesty now!"

"Stop talking, hurry up and go in!"

They also couldn't understand why Li Chengqian had such an attitude, and they didn't know where they did it wrong and offended Li Chengqian.

When he entered the lobby, Li Chengqian was already sitting upright in the main seat, looking at the files of the Honglu Temple that Zuo Yiming and others had prepared in advance on the desk.
