Chapter 411 The ambition of all nations to come to court

"Boom..."

"The pacesetters are in place!!!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Amidst the loud sound of the door opening, the Duanmen gate was opened by several Han generals. Two rows of Royal Army honor guard soldiers lined up neatly, carrying gold-inlaid protocol guns and marching in goose-step from the direction of the Meridian Gate.

The dress is different from the combat uniforms that appeared in Goryeo and Ryukyu. The various golden metals and red patterns on the body are extremely conspicuous, and the leather boots on the feet are shiny.

The sound of kicking leather boots passed through the long palace walls on both sides, forming a slight echo. Step by step, it hit the hearts of Li Zhu and the others. The momentum was so suppressed that the three of them could not breathe.

"Is this the Han general from Shangguo?"

"I once heard from the drifters of the Upper Kingdom that His Majesty the Emperor of the Upper Kingdom is guarded by miraculous guards.

His body and strength correspond to each other, so he is eight feet long and has a wooden frame eight feet high. If he chooses to stand beside it, it will be in line with it.

The small country expresses its gratitude to the superior country for saving lives, and thanks the superior country for hundreds of years of teaching and kindness. It vows to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty forever, and the small ministers and ministers will be his majesty's ministers from generation to generation.

Chongzhen still praised him, and the contents of the reward remained the same, including cameras, bicycles, tricycles, diesel generators and light wires. The only difference was the addition of motorcycles. This was a thank you for the five hundred thousand taels.

It's just a pity that I have just received the news that Shangfeng, the late king of Ryukyu, has passed away for a year. I think of Shangfeng and my dynasty. They are loyal and loyal. Although they are oppressed by the Japanese country, they have never forgotten the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty.

After Chongzhen announced the same reward, he cleared his throat and concluded.

After today, you should sort out the charter as soon as possible and learn more deeply from Ming Dynasty. At the same time, you can send more people to study in Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty will definitely train you with all its heart.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have arrived."

It's just that Ni Yuanlu and others stood up and complained. He had some ideas at first, but he had no ideas anymore. It was indeed a trouble for the palace maid to enter the palace. He didn't have to worry about his children now.

He carried five hundred kilograms of bricks and walked around the palace. He was qualified. He also wore golden armor, had a tiger and leopard head, and was surrounded by red sparrows. He was a general of the Han Dynasty!

When I saw him today, he looked more majestic and domineering than the legend, but just looking at his neat steps gave me chills."

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Well, come in."

“Wait a minute!!

After the neat shouts, Jiaofangsi's music sounded, and a eunuch wearing a traditional eunuch dress walked up and stood in front of the three people.

"Your three kingdoms are all vassal states of our Ming Dynasty. In the past time, there have been many problems within the Ming Dynasty, and we have no time to take care of you, leaving you without a lot of education.

If any vassal country dares to betray the Ming Dynasty in the future, no matter who they are or who they are, they will all be punished by being shot through the heart with thousands of arrows!"

"..."

Now that your majesty is more powerful than Taizu and has unrivaled sages and sages, the small country is offering to your majesty a hundred Korean maids and a hundred eunuchs to serve your majesty."

"Okay! The Crown Prince of Ryukyu is indeed full of sincerity. It is not in vain that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought bloody battles for your country! I made the decision for you, and my efforts were not in vain.

"My lord, I have a reason for doing this. The country of Korea was oppressed by slaves and had to surrender. However, surrendering is a betrayal and is an unforgivable crime. I am unworthy of your majesty, the emperor of your country, and I have to bear the thorn to apologize.

"

Ni Yuanlu stood up and spoke, which moved Shangxian to the point of tears. Yes, he just wanted this reward. If he didn't make money on this trip, he wouldn't be able to sail across the ocean.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ni Aiqing, the Ministry of Rites must properly receive the Crown Prince of Ryukyu, the King of Goryeo, and the Acting Minister of Kyushu. If you have any needs, you can speak to me directly."

While the two were discussing, Li Zong, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, looked at the honor guard coming from a distance, his eyes full of shock and joy. For such a guard of honor, they, Gaoli, could not think of such a way.

I hope the king of Ryukyu can remember that all the light in the world is under the light of the Ming Dynasty."

Therefore, I have come here with five hundred thousand taels of silver to thank Your Majesty for His grace."

The soldiers on both sides kept staring at the three men, with the feeling that their heads were turning in unison wherever they went. Even if they had millions of people in their hands, they would not dare to look directly at these soldiers.

In addition, since His Majesty Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was still alive, the ancestors of the small country paid tribute to the great nation with maidservants and a number of eunuchs.

I also heard that the disaster in the Ming Dynasty was serious. However, after the Ming Dynasty helped Kyushu regain its independence, it still vigorously provided disaster relief and provided food to the people. This is His Majesty's equal treatment of all people, which moved the people of the world.

Shangxian took the jade plaque and bowed solemnly to Chongzhen. All civil and military officials in the court nodded. The Ryukyu Kingdom was able to pay tribute in cash, which really satisfied everyone.

Seeing that there were many people supporting the proposal, Chongzhen nodded. These people were really generous. If they didn't spend their money, they would be generous to others, so he had to make them pay for it no matter what.

After Li Zhu finished reading, he bowed directly and let out a hiss in his mouth.

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Retreat!"

"Go on."

"I, the Acting Minister of Kyushu Kingdom, Kuroda Shuito, am here to see Your Majesty!

With the thoughts of all the people of Kyushu, I would like to thank Your Majesty for saving the people of Kyushu from the fire and water...

"Your Majesty! The king of Ryukyu celebrated the Ming Dynasty and was loyal. His country was thousands of miles away and he sincerely paid tribute with huge sums of money. This can be a lesson to the world.

On the day of your return, I will convene the officials of the Ministry of Rites, carry the bestowal and reward treasures, and offer sacrifices to heaven to inform all the people, ascend the throne, and announce it to the world."

After Li Zhu stood up, the thorns no longer pressed against his back, and he quickly stopped the eunuch who came over. He could not be taken away, otherwise his secret would be exposed.

"I, the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, am honored to be honored by your Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise! The world is pacified, and the vassal states come to court. Their achievements are even better than those of Shun and Yu."

It can be circulated among the high-level officials of North Korea, but this is a loss of face for Li Zhu. The ministers don't care. As long as the country is still glorious, they still have the dignity of being a cultural person in the vassal country.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for my faults, and forgive the faults of Goryeo! I bear the thorns to apologize. I have to carry these thorns away as I carried them, so that I can fully atone for my sins.

The purpose of Bangzi is to make him realize who his father is, so that he will really obey me.

I, together with the gentry and officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom, express my sincere wishes to the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on wiping out the Tatars, recovering the lost territory, and providing disaster relief to the people.

The three of them raised their eyes. Chongzhen on the high seat became more and more heroic. This was also the first time they saw Chongzhen. Under the reflection of the incandescent lamp, the dragon chair shone brightly, like a god above the nine heavens.

"Xuan!

"Sell and sell newspapers! The Ming Industrial and Commercial Administration has been established! Royal merchants invite bids for investment, and the first soap factory of Ming Dynasty is under construction with British public investment. A large number of people are being recruited, and the remuneration is favorable. The remuneration is favorable!"

Humph, Shenzong was worshiped by the entire Goryeo officialdom. He was the only one who had the qualification to kneel down and worship. Even if he admitted his mistake, it would be recognized by the superior state. Besides, as long as he didn't say anything, who would know that he admitted his mistake?

Looking at the three people who came in, a group of ministers were whispering for a moment. The image of Li Zhuo naked and tied with wattle sticks also made the ministers a little confused.

I believe that your majesty should respond with a reward to show the demeanor of the great Ming Dynasty. Your majesty's sage monarch's etiquette can calm the hearts of all nations and make them come to court!"

Even the thorns with sharpened corners were still irregular slivers. He bent and tightened his back in this salute, and it instantly made him feel better, especially when the wounds he made deliberately were touched by thorns that were not sharp.

"Forget it, my management of state affairs is cumbersome enough. Besides, I have ordered frugality. We must lead by example and not be extravagant. Hundreds of maids and eunuchs cannot be used and should not be used in this way.

Chongzhen nodded, and based on Li Zhu's identity, he gave him a small punishment.

"Your Majesty! I, the King of Goryeo, bear the thorn and apologize to me!"

This time, I brought a total of 15,000 horses, 5,000 cattle, 100-year-old mountain ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Ganoderma lucidum as gifts, 200,000 taels of silver as tribute, 10,000 yew wood materials, and 10 boxes of celadon.

After thanking Shangxian, he stood in the first place without stepping down. Kuroda Shuren and the others also stared at Chongzhen, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

I also ask your Majesty to punish me in order to set the record straight. Betrayal cannot be easily forgiven. I am willing to bear the pain of this thorn to inform future generations.

Congratulations to the world that after Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there will be another eternal benevolent king to protect all nations. Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor of Shangguo, who will be famous in the East!

The other ministers had no interest at first, but when they heard the word "all nations come to court", they suddenly became excited. This is a prosperous age. If they appear during their term, this will be a lasting event.

Amidst the neat greetings, Chongzhen turned and left. In less than two days, today's meeting had already spread throughout the capital.

After Chongzhen read it once, he waited for a while and saw that the ministers did not let him stay after discussing. He nodded and stood up.

"Stand firm!"

Li Zhu was happy and saluted again, but this time the gesture was much smaller. This was a confession in front of Shenzong.

Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire! Long live! Long live!"

"His Majesty!"

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness! With this opportunity, I will kneel down in person and confess my faults to Emperor Shenzong in person! I will kneel down and pray for three days, three hours a day, to repent for Jiuji."

"I accept the decree!"

Chongzhen was a little moved when he looked at Li Zhu's appearance. This guy actually went out of his way to apologize honestly. It seemed that the shop owner was right.

Shangxian was instantly happy when he heard the content of the reward. Although he didn't know the exact price of the camera and generator, anything that was not available in Ryukyu was a treasure.

"Okay, my dear friends, do you still have any memorials?"

"Ah, no...no more."

The impatient Kuroda Shuren and Shangxian, as well as the King of Korea who was shivering from the cold, stepped through the Duanmen together and walked towards the Meridian Gate.

"Shangxian, do you have anything else to say?"

Losing face? No, this is not losing face at all, it is even adding to face. When the time comes, he will ask someone to take photos of him and bring his appearance in front of Shenzong’s tomb to Korea.

Three murderous guys were so stunned that they didn't dare to question them at all. Although a small eunuch was nothing, it still depended on who the eunuch was with.

"A small country is no more than a few small islands. If you look at it now, it's not even close to that. A country above the Celestial Empire is a country above the Celestial Empire."
