After handling the matter, Zhu Yicheng and Wu Sidao started chatting.

On weekdays, Zhu Yicheng has been busy with official duties, and Wu Sidao does not live in the city. He now lives directly near the Royal Academy. In Wu Sidao's words, although the city is good, it is too noisy. He, an old lame man, doesn't like to go out frequently. It's better to be quieter at the Royal Academy and keep healthy.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Yicheng hasn't seen Wu Sidao for many days. It is rare to see him today. Naturally, he has to have a good chat. This is not only a joy among friends, but also Zhu Yicheng also wants to hear Wu Sidao's opinions on some questions in his heart.

Although Wu Sidao was not in the temple, he was very familiar with the affairs of the court. Wu Sidao did not directly answer some questions raised by Zhu Yicheng. Instead, he talked about what he saw about the content of the question, and asked Zhu Yicheng a few words.

If it were someone else, it would be inappropriate to reply in front of the emperor in this way, but Wu Sidao is different. In this world, except for the queen Li Juaner, perhaps only Wu Sidao can speak like this to the emperor.

"So, Mr. Wu thought the north could ignore it for the time being, first completely deal with Mongolia, and then do his best to deal with the Western Regions?"

"It's not a deal, it's a recovery!" Wu Sidao corrected Zhu Yicheng's words and said with a smile: "The Western Regions were originally my Chinese territory. They returned to China as early as the Han Dynasty, and later in the Tang Dynasty, they directly set up the Protectorate."

"Mr. Wu said very well!" Zhu Yicheng held his palm and laughed. Wu Sidao's words were not unreasonable. It was said that he was famous for his troops. Although the Ming Dynasty attacked the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how to deal with the Western Regions after conquering the Western Regions is another problem.

In fact, there are different opinions within the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty expanded too quickly. In the eyes of many officials, the Ming Dynasty now shows signs of being in turmoil. Not only did it recover the territory of the former Ming Dynasty on its original basis, it also occupied so much territory overseas. If it goes on, the Ming Dynasty vaguely had the attitude of directly annexing Mongolia and taking over the Western Regions and Tibet. In the eyes of these people, although the country is very wary, it will perish. The Ming Dynasty already has hidden hidden dangers under the surface of prosperity.

These people believe that the Ming Dynasty is no longer suitable for continuing to expand, and should focus on rest and recuperate and establish a prosperous era.

But again, there are opponents, and it is even more important to supporters of the Ming Dynasty's current expansion, both in terms of numbers and influence.

In their opinion, all the kings under the heavens are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings. The expansion of the Ming Dynasty was granted the destiny, and the Ming Empire became stronger and rich in this continuous expansion.

As for hidden dangers, it is simply nonsense, and it is a short-sighted move. Therefore, the two opinions have been arguing endlessly, and it has even affected the views of many people.

Zhu Yicheng maintained the attitude of neither support nor opposition to these debates. In his opinion, it is normal for a country to have different political views. The existence of both sides of the conflict can also bring some pressure to each other, and at the same time remind and correct some possible mistakes.

However, in Zhu Yicheng's mind, it was necessary to take over the Western Regions and Tibet, and no one could stop this. Because Zhu Yicheng always believed that this was originally a territory belonging to China and must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if this caused the Ming Dynasty to slow down the pace of the world, he would do whatever he could.

Now, Wu Sidao gave him a legitimate reason to take over the Western Regions from another perspective. Wu Sidao said that the Western Regions were originally Chinese territory, which was originally during the Han Dynasty, and now it is just a recovery. It is extremely necessary to be famous for the army. Moreover, after taking over the Western Regions, the court can also use this reason to promote and consolidate the local area.

"I asked someone to bring a letter to Mr. I mentioned that the college had added foreign affairs subjects. I wonder what Mr. planned to do?"

Wu Sidao took a sip of tea and then said, "Go back to the emperor, it is easy to add this matter, but it is difficult to do it well."

"Oh, let's talk about it in detail." Zhu Yicheng asked.

Wu Sidao immediately expressed his opinion. As the principal of the college, it is not difficult to add diplomatic affairs majors to the college’s current subjects, only an administrative order is needed. But the problem is how to carry out teaching after the addition. You must know that this major subject is different from other subjects. If it is literature, military, etc., there are many talents like the Ming Dynasty, and even the cutting-edge Wu Sidao can find a way to invite him.

But diplomatic affairs were a new thing in the Ming Dynasty, and there was nothing that could be truly understood in the entire court, let alone teaching? That's why Wu Sidao said so and felt that it was not easy.

"Sir, what good is there? This matter is important. Sir, please know the reason for me to do this."

Wu Sidao thought for a while and said, "The emperor understands the idea. As for whether the method is good or not, there may be some sloppy things."

"Sir, please tell me in detail." Zhu Yicheng was slightly stunned and asked with interest.

Wu Sidao didn't care and directly told his plans. He suggested that the court could poach people from the embassies of various countries in Beijing in China. You should know that the diplomats sent by these Western countries to the Ming Dynasty were professionals, and many of them were elites.

If you can find a way to find a few people to come, you can completely solve the problem of the faculty. When your talents are slowly cultivated in the future, there will naturally be no problems.

Zhu Yicheng was laughing and crying when he heard this. Wu Sidao did come up with an idea that was not an idea. Diplomats from Western countries should be teachers? How is this possible? If you don’t do it properly, it will cause diplomatic trouble.

"It's a part-time job, and it's not like they are betrayed their country. What's wrong with that?" Wu Sidao explained with a smile.

Zhu Yicheng thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed possible if this matter was done, but he also had to beware of some problems and troubles. However, Zhu Yicheng felt that it would be fine if he tried it a little, so he immediately made a default.

"Dong Dashan's second son Dong Hua is quite interested in foreign affairs? When I was looking at the list, I saw him applying to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and still hope to go to Europe?" Zhu Yicheng shifted the topic and mentioned Dong Hua.

Although Zhu Yicheng seemed to say this casually, Wu Sidao keenly noticed that Zhu Yicheng looked at him with a bright look, and there seemed to be expectation and inquiries in his expression.

Wu Sidao does not care about specific matters on weekdays, but he can't hide the big and big things in the Shanzhu Academy. Therefore, Wu Sidao has long heard of the situation between Zhu Qingyan and Dong Hua. When the boy and girl did not cause any problems, Wu Sidao did not stop this contact, or he was still a little happy to see this.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

"Congratulations?" Zhu Yicheng was stunned and looked at Wu Sidao for some reason.

Wu Sidao said for granted: "I heard that the Duke of Wei asked the emperor for marriage, but the emperor did not refuse. Dong Hua is a young and talented man with a bright future, and he is even more heartless to the princess. I naturally want to congratulate you when the emperor has obtained this good son-in-law."

"This old guy!" Zhu Yicheng didn't expect Wu Sidao to say this suddenly, and directly said what he had not decided on his own, as if he had agreed to the marriage, and he couldn't help but curse.
