On April 15 of the sixth year of Jiajing, the capital of Daming has completely entered summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, it is the day of the great court meeting, around three o'clock in the morning, all the Beijing officials, as well as the local officials who have entered Beijing to do business, get up and wash, and then put on the grand court clothes, and hurried to the noon gate.

The court meeting is very lively, regardless of the size of the official position, as long as the official must participate, so every time the court meeting is held, the civil and military officials gathered in front of the Fengtian Gate are often as many as thousands.

This morning's grand court meeting was even more pompous, as there will be three vassal missions to Beijing to pay tribute, namely Champa, Annam, and Mandelek (present-day Burma).

At about five o'clock in the morning, the sky was dark, and at noon, there was already a crowd of people outside the gate, crowded with civil and military officials who were ready to attend the court meeting, and groups of people who knew each other were talking loudly, and some people took advantage of this time to eat some breakfast, and the air was filled with the smell of all kinds of food.

Finally, the bell on the noon gate tower rang, the gates on both sides opened, the guards and honor guards on duty entered first, and then the ministers of the civil and military classes, the left and the right, entered from the secret doors on both sides, and marched to His Majesty Dan outside the Fengtian Gate to wait in line. During this period, there will be officials on duty who will stare at the "fiery eyes" to inspect the inspectors back and forth, and if any official spits, farts and sneezes, they will be recorded and held accountable, and the crime of "misconduct" will definitely not be able to escape.

The civil and military officials lined up in front of the Fengtian Gate, and waited for about half an hour, and the honor guard of the Son of Heaven finally appeared.

Jiajing sat on the royal chariot, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, wearing a beaded curtain crown, and a bright yellow Luo umbrella cover on the top. Zhu Houxi, this kid has a good face, not to mention that there will be a delegation of the subject country to participate in the court today, so naturally how majestic and tidy it is, it is more grand than the usual court meeting.

Jiajing ascended to the seat of His Majesty in front of Fengtian Gate in the sound of drums, sat facing south, and solemnly accepted the three bows and nine knocks of the civil and military officials, and then raised his right hand and said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live long live!" The ministers shouted three times Long live, and the sound entered the sky, this momentum, this scene, is enough to make the guests deeply feel the majesty and majesty of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

At this moment, this kid Jiajing can be described as energetic, in a comfortable mood, and quite proud.

It is said that since Jiajing ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has overcome many difficulties, reversed the financial predicament, the national strength is thriving, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, the good news in the north continues, and now the entire Tatar is almost in the pocket of the Ming Dynasty, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty will increase by nearly one-third, as soon as he thinks of this, Jiajing is excited.

Now that the treasury is full, the soldiers are strong, and the "Southern and Northern Captives" that have plagued the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years will soon be completely solved, and Concubine De is also pregnant with the dragon seed, everything is going well, so Jiajing's mood is more comfortable and refreshing recently!

"The envoys of the Xuan countries came forward to meet them." The eunuch Chang Huaien, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, held the dust in his hand and preached loudly.

"The envoys of the Xuan countries have come forward to meet you!"

"The envoys of the Xuan countries have come forward to meet you!" The guards in front of the hall shouted in waves.

Soon, the envoys of Champang, Annam, and Mandelek, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, marched along the royal road until His Majesty Dan knelt down and kowtowed to Jiajing on the throne.

Champong, Annam, Mandelek are all small countries in South Asia, and have always been the subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute every three years, this year is the year of tribute, so they all came to pay tribute, after a simple etiquette training after the entry of the political envoy in Guangxi, this was sent to the capital to meet the son of tomorrow.

After Zheng He stopped going to the West, the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries were almost cut off, and their prestige was naturally greatly reduced, and even many countries did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously, however, a few years ago, Xu Jin exterminated the Japanese Invaders, and also cleaned up the Westerners, and established the Nanyang Protectorate in Manchuria, which instantly made the Ming Dynasty prestige in the minds of Southeast Asian countries.

At this time, the envoys of the three countries all presented a tribute list, which was nothing more than some spices, rubber, exotic flowers and trees, or various wild animals endemic to the local area, which were not worth a few dollars.

As the so-called red one who is close to Zhu and black one who is close to ink, although Jiajing has a good face, he has been messing with Xu Jin for a long time, how can he be the master of losses? Therefore, after receiving the tributes from the three countries, he asked the Ministry of Rites to give back the gifts, the value of which was about the same as the market value of the tributes from various countries, and then the travel expenses were also converted.

The envoys of the three kingdoms received the return gift, and their smiles suddenly stiffened, in the past, the value of the Ming Dynasty's return was at least ten times, or even dozens of times, and now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, why did it slam the door?

Jiajing witnessed the changes in the expressions of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Xu Qing is right, these subject countries all treat my Daming as a fat sheep, in the name of tribute, to fight the autumn wind, hehe, I don't deserve to be this wronged boss, it's already kind to make up for the travel expenses for you, don't be dissatisfied!

Just as Jiajing was about to order the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to retreat, the envoys of the Zhancheng State suddenly came out and fell to their knees. Jiajing and the ministers were stunned for a moment, could it be that this person thought that the reward was too small?

"The great tomorrow is above, the minister has something important to play, please be the master of the great tomorrow." The envoy of the Champa kingdom said loudly. Latest

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Van Tai, the envoy of Annan next to him, instantly changed his face, and subconsciously lowered his head.

Jiajing's heart moved, and he said unhurriedly: "It's okay to occupy the city and make the ministers. ”

The envoy of the Champa state, Mahaya, bowed his head, and then he said: "The minister wants to sue Mo Dengyong, the king of Annam, for usurping power and seizing the throne, and he is bold and reckless, deliberately deceiving the great emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military ministers present changed slightly, and the envoy of the Annam State, Nguyen Van Tai, fell to his knees and protested loudly: "The envoy of the Champa State is spewing blood and slandering the king of his country. ”

Jiajing's face sank and said: "Envoy of Zhancheng, you sued King Annan, do you have any evidence?" ”

The envoy of the city of Cham, Mahaya, said loudly: "In such a matter, there is naturally evidence that Chen An dares to deceive His Majesty the Great Son. After speaking, he clapped his hands, and a person immediately flashed out of the attendant behind him, and fell to his knees.

This person looked black and thin, with a narrow forehead and a pointed mouth, typical of the Annam race, bowed down after kneeling, and said in blunt Ming Chinese: "Zheng Wei, a relict of the Li Dynasty, knock to see the great tomorrow." ”

Annan's envoy Nguyen Van Tai's face suddenly changed greatly!

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "You are a relict of the Li Dynasty?" ”

It is necessary to explain here that Annam is now Vietnam, in fact, during the Qin and Han dynasties, Vietnam was still the territory of China, formerly known as Cochin, but the Southern Han Dynasty split out in the later period, until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent troops to defeat the ruler of Vietnam at that time, because the ruler's surname was Hu, so it was called the Hu Dynasty.

After Zhu Di occupied Annam, he set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy in the local area, and since then, Vietnam has been incorporated into the Ming Dynasty again, but, due to poor management, coupled with the corruption of local officials to arouse local resentment, the indigenous people surnamed Li rebelled, and the Ming Dynasty could not suppress it, and finally abolished the Jiaozhi Political Envoy, and Vietnam became independent from the Ming Dynasty again, which was for the Li Dynasty.

Although the Annan Li Dynasty was independent, it later sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to call the minister, willing to be a vassal country, and then the Annan Li Dynasty continued until the Jiajing period, but a few years ago, the Annan Dynasty was changed, and the minister Mo Dengyong usurped the throne, established the Mo Dynasty, and sent envoys to explain the situation to the Ming Dynasty, lying that the Li King had no successor, so he gave him the throne, and Jiajing was too lazy to verify at that time, anyway, no matter whether the king of Annan was surnamed Li or surnamed Mo, they were all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, so he made a quick decree and recognized Mo Dengyong as the king of Annan.

And at this time, a relict of the Li Dynasty suddenly ran out to complain to himself, Jiajing immediately realized that something was wrong, in fact, he didn't care about the surname of the king of Annan, but he cared very much about being deceived, the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty was deceived, very embarrassed, and he Zhu Houxi happened to have a good face, so he couldn't bear it!

After Jiajing's fierce gaze, Zheng Wei, a relict of the Li Dynasty, wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Mo Dengyong was originally an important minister of my Annan Li Dynasty, and he won the favor of the king, but this person had a ghost in his heart, took the opportunity to usurp the throne, killed the king of Li, and killed him completely, and then lied to the Ming Dynasty that it was the king of Li who gave him the throne, and deceived the son of the emperor to give him the canonization. ”

Jiajing couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, how could it be reasonable, just a barbarian rebel minister, he dared to deceive me, he shouted: "Envoy Annan, you have something to say!" ”

Annan's envoy Nguyen Van Tai's face turned white with fright, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this person's greedy words, it is obvious that King Li has no queen, so he gave up the throne to King Mo." ”

At this time, the envoy of the city of Zhancheng, Mahaya, immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Weiyi is indeed a relict of the Li Dynasty, what he said is true, I can use the city as a guarantee, if there is half a lie, let the Ming Dynasty deal with it." ”

In other words, why did this envoy of the Champa State spare no effort to help?

It turned out that the Champa and Annan bordered, the two countries were not friendly, and there were often wars, and after Mo Dengyong usurped the throne of Annan, he launched a war against the Champang, so the Champa took advantage of this time to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and sued in front of Jiajing.

Sure enough, after Jiajing listened to the words of the envoy of the Champa State, he immediately believed it and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, the rebellious ministers and thieves dare to deceive me, come to someone, and put the envoy of the Annan State in prison to be dealt with." ”

The guards in front of the palace immediately rushed up, grabbed the envoy of Annam, Nguyen Van Tai, and dragged him down like a dead dog and put him in prison.

The relict of the Li Dynasty, Zheng Wei, was immediately grateful, and asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to eliminate the rebellious minister and thief Mo Dengyong and restore the Annan Li Dynasty.

Jiajing is not a fool, he was just angry and deceived, as for the surname of the king of Annan, he doesn't care at all, and he won't rush to send troops, you must know that fighting costs money, and it costs money to sacrifice the lives of Ming soldiers.

Therefore, Jiajing used the excuse that the matter was big and needed to be considered in the long run, and first sent this crying and crying relict minister of the Li Dynasty and the envoy of the Zhancheng State.
