Since the end of last year, the city of Nanjing has successively welcomed several waves of envoys from the vassal states, and the first to arrive is naturally the Ryukyus.

When the Ryukyu envoy wearing Hanfu came ashore from the Nanjing wharf, Qian Bingrup, the head of the Ministry of Rites, personally greeted him, which aroused the onlookers of tens of thousands of people, and when he entered the city, it was even more lively, and the windows of the restaurants on both sides of the street were open to the street, and countless people watched the Ryukyu envoy pass by the street from above.

To say that Ryukyu is also a small domain, sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, two sides of the tribute, is not worthy of such a warm reception by the people, but the vassal tribute, is the Ming Dynasty to revitalize its own orthodoxy in the world, the embodiment of the restoration of national strength.

After the Qing army entered the customs, in a few years, the destruction of Li Chuang, trapped in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty was once in danger, and the morale of the people, the self-esteem of the Han people was also crippled by successive failures, forming a sense of inferiority, and this time the vassal came to the court, but it was the beginning of the people to regain self-confidence, they saw the vassal to come to the court, naturally excited, and the performance was more eager than the government.

A few days after the Ryukyu delegation entered Nanjing, the Nanyang vassal also began to come to the court one after another, which was mainly due to the influence exerted by the Li Fan Yuan in Nanyang, of course, the most important thing was the naval division and the Annam Nguyen clan, and the Zhenla Kingdom destroyed the city together, so that the Nanyang countries were shocked.

This time, Nanyang mainly came from the countries that believed in Theravada Buddhism, but as for the Green Religion countries with the same sect as Champang, none of them came.

The coming of the countries to the court is a happy event for the Ming court, but it is also a troublesome matter, one is the problem of tribute returns, and the other is the problem of the relationship between the Nanyang countries, among which the three Ruan, Li, and Mo families of Annam have sent a mission to come this time, which is a big trouble.

At first, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received the three missions could not figure out the relationship between the three families, and actually arranged them in the same post house, but the three families almost met each other, but in the end, fortunately, the people from the Li Fan Yuan came to reconcile and settle the three families separately.

These three families all claim to represent Annan, and now they all recognize the boss of the Ming Dynasty, so how the Ming Dynasty will treat these three families is a big problem.

Wang Yan attached great importance to this, and he knew that settling these troubles would be conducive to the influence and hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, so he not only ordered the Li Yuan to receive good students and not slack off, but also to come up with a strategy for handling the relationship between the feudal states as soon as possible.

In the palace of the king of Chu, just after the fifth watch, Wang Yan and the princess were still sleeping soundly on the bed, when the door of the outer room suddenly opened, and several maids carried basins, towels, clothes, and green salt for gargling. They stood in the outer hall, and the maid at the head lit a pillar of incense, and waited quietly.

The maids waited for a while, and the incense was about to burn out, but there was still movement in the bedroom, so the maid headed by the maid walked to the door of the inner room and said softly: "Dawn is coming, and everything is ready to be taken care of!" ”

The maids outside also said softly: "Dawn is coming, and everything is ready to be taken care of." ”

The voice came into the bedroom, and after calling several times, Wang Yan sat up from the bed.

It is not easy to master a big empire, and it is not possible to do what you want, saying that you are tired, you can't sleep lazy, you can't do it, you can't do it today, you can't do it, you can't do it, the affairs of the world are waiting to be handled, even if you have the help of the cabinet, it's definitely not an easy job, piled up, every day of delay, will cause losses to the empire.

To govern a country, if nothing else, the ruler must first have super high requirements for himself, and the simplest point is to live sometimes. If none of this can be done, let alone governance.

This rule was set by Emperor Gaozong, mainly because of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who were too reckless, and the emperor was not trained by the emperor, and most of the emperors were not like the emperor, so the rules were set.

Emperor Gaozong not only led by example, but he also hoped that after him, the daily fifth watch would become a system to urge the emperor to be diligent in his administration.

In Wang Yan's heart, the emperor's diligence may not be a good thing, but Emperor Gaozong's rule is good, in line with the Confucian concept of self-cultivation and governance, and people always have slack, but as the controller of the world, if he walks on thin ice at all times, he must not relax, so he inherited this one.

Princess He Zhizhi was also woken up by the voice, sat up with confused eyes, Wang Yan gently pushed her shoulder, pressed her to sleep on the bed, and said softly: "Concubine Ai's body is still weak, sleep a little longer, and the maid will wash up." ”

He Zhizhi listened, lazily retracted back into the warm quilt, she had just given birth to Wang Shizi not long ago, and it was indeed a little not enough to sleep.

Wang Yan stuffed her jade arm back into the quilt, pressed the periphery, and walked out of the bedroom in single clothes.

The maids in the outer hall immediately did not call, poured hot water, tested the water temperature, Wang Yan went to that one, and did not have to do it himself, the maids divided their labor, combed their hair and washed their faces together, and when they rinsed their mouths, Wang Yan moved his mouth by himself, and then stood up with one hand, and after a while, the dragon robe and jade belt, and the winged good crown of the two dragons playing with pearls were taken one by one, and finally put on their shoes, and the maids bowed down and retreated to the side.

After this set of tosses, Wang Yan was completely sleepy, and the time was still early, the sky was not yet dawn, according to the usual he had to approve an hour's recital, and only had breakfast until the hour, and he had to listen to the opinions of the cabinet at that time, and there were other arrangements at special times.

After Wang Yan finished washing, he went to the study to look through the folds, the cabinet above has basically been dealt with, he only needs to look at it once, if there is something wrong, he will send it back to the cabinet, if the cabinet still insists on opinions, then he can only go to the hall.

The recent report, in addition to the restoration of Huguang and Jiangbei, is the resettlement of refugees, and there is also the reward for meritorious soldiers, Wang Yan has been in power for several years, and he has already had a lot of experience in handling affairs, and he has read the folds on the table in a short time, and it is time for breakfast.

At this time, the door of the study opened, and Xu Yanyan came in with a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan usually has breakfast with his family, but these days are a little special, and he has to go to the Ministry of Rites to do official business later, so he confessed yesterday that he would not eat at home, but Xu Yanyan brought him a bowl of porridge at this time.

Wang Yan smiled slightly, picked it up, the temperature was just right, Xu Yanyan walked to the back and squeezed his shoulder, "Waiting for the second day of February, if you want Sister Xiangjun to pass through the door, do you want to send something over from the palace?" ”

"Oh, what if the prince agrees to this family business?" Ruogu is the name of Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Sui, who once lived in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Yanyan said while pinching: "I heard my sister say, it doesn't seem to be." ”

Wang Yan put down the porridge bowl after hearing this, and pursed his lips, "When the time comes, Yan Yan, you prepare a gift to send, although this king has a heart, it is inconvenient to give a gift." ”

As he was talking, a scribe came from outside the study to report, "Your Highness, the people from the Ministry of Rites have arrived, just wait for Your Highness." ”

(Thank you for the reward, thank you for the monthly pass, subscription, recommendation)
