The Forbidden City Huangji Gate, this gate is the Taihe Gate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after Yongli returned to Beijing, it was changed back to the original name, called the Huangji Gate, here is the place where the civil and military officials go to court, and it is also the place where the mission enters Beijing to pay tribute and hold ordinary scale celebrations. The fastest update is as for the Huangji Palace, that is, the Taihe Palace, mainly for the emperor's enthronement, the canonization of the queen, the emperor's birthday, the New Year and other grand celebrations and the palace test in the Huangji Palace.

The Yongli Emperor wore a crown of heaven, wore a silk robe to drive the imperial gate, the crank yellow umbrella swayed in the wind, and the copper crane incense burner was smoky. The eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch wearing a bright yellow flat gold embroidered Jiangya sea python robe accompanied, the size of the Jiuqing, the military attache of the governor in order of shift, many civil and military officials are unique to him with a red gold-rimmed velvet blanket under his feet, and behind him are two palace maids playing fans. The burly Han generals on both sides were wearing red robes and obeying the royal car, their armor was shiny, their guns and halberds were like forests, and their steel knives were as bright as frost and snow.

Today, Yongli is in a very good mood, because today is the period of pilgrimage for the envoys of various countries to pay tribute to auspicious rui. Today's Ming vassal states not only include traditional vassal states such as Tumut, Mobei, Uszang, Korea, Annam, Burma, Siam, Persia, Rumi, Ryukyu, Java, Luzon, Mayi, and Huluo, as well as Western countries such as the Great and Small Francs and the Netherlands, as well as new vassal states such as the Wa Kingdom, Dzungaria, Kokand, Bukhara, and the small states of Kunlun Prefecture.

Although Korea was destroyed by the Manchus and became a province, and after Wang Yu helped the Koreans expel the Manchus, Korea was not restored, and it was still a province of the Ming Dynasty, but a group of civil officials of the Ming Dynasty still gave the status of a vassal state to Korea for the sake of the so-called face.

As for the big and small francs, that is, Spain and Portugal, as well as the Netherlands, that is, the Netherlands, as well as England, France, Prussia and other Western countries, they came to pay tribute entirely because they came to the East for trade needs, and they came to some Western colonists in the East.

The Mangbai regime in Burma has existed in name only, and the Burmese envoys who came came were not only Burmese, but also other natives. Although Yongli hated the Burmese for detaining him back then, in order to show his great power, Yongli did not order the expulsion of the Burmese envoys who arrived, but treated them and the Karen and Mon missions equally.

In addition, vassal kings such as Li Laiheng, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong also sent envoys to Beijing.

When the time came, Yongli asked the eunuch to announce the tribute envoys of various countries to enter the court.

The envoys of various countries, led by the eunuchs, walked in from the noon gate. I saw that the palace was brilliant and grand, the weather was strict, and the Jinyi guards and the Han generals on both sides stood majestically, all of them were tall and majestic, and their swords and armor were distinct. The envoys of the vassal kingdoms dressed in various costumes walked down the red carpet, and it was indeed a scene of the coming dynasty of all nations.

Whether it is a native of Nanyang or a white man from the West, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty have seen it before, and they are not surprised to see these mission personnel. When the envoy of the small country in Kunlun Prefecture entered the noon gate, the civil and military officials almost screamed, if they hadn't controlled themselves, I am afraid that many people would have exclaimed loudly. I saw that those people from the small countries of Kunlun Prefecture looked as black as black charcoal, darker than the people from the small countries of Nanyang, and their faces were fierce, and they looked more like gorillas. However, Yongli didn't scream when he saw these people, he knew Kunlun Nu.

Just when Yongli was appreciating the scene of the coming dynasty of ten thousand states, the eunuch who had already been bribed by Wu Yingqi attached his seal to Yongli's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, although King Nan and Yanping are vassal kings, not vassal states, but these people are actually vassal kings of one side of the separatist side, and they did not send envoys to Beijing for pilgrimage, which shows the disobedience of these thieves. ”

Yongli's face was a little unsightly, he already felt the threat from the south.

In fact, Wang Yu and Zheng Cong and others do not need to send envoys to Beijing at all, they are not vassal states, they are the princes canonized by the Ming Dynasty, they do not belong to the ranks of vassal states, and they pay taxes normally every year. In fact, even if they sent an envoy to Beijing, the eunuchs who were bribed by Wu Yingqi also had something to say, saying that they were not vassal states, and sending envoys to Beijing meant that they had self-respect for their troops and were divided into kings, and they also belonged to the ranks of rebellious ministers and thieves.

However, Yongli was soon in a good mood again, after all, today was the first time that he had come to the court since he returned to Beijing. After the tributary ceremony began, the national missions paid tribute to the tributes they had brought.

According to the custom, after the Ming Dynasty accepted the tributes of various countries, they gave richer gifts in return.

Just as the envoys of various countries were paying tribute and receiving the return gifts, suddenly the envoy of the Sultanate of Aceh stood up and cried out with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! Please save our people of Aceh! The king of the southern Ming Dynasty flew high in Sumatra, plundered the people, took the people into slavery, destroyed the temples of the Heavenly Sect, plundered the wealth, and burned the city! Nanwang's Nanyang Company recruited a large number of eagle dog thugs in Aceh, and all the people who were dissatisfied were killed by them! What's more, the king of the south even took pleasure in killing the Heavenly Sect, and all those who believed in the religion were forcibly sent to the farm as slaves. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Yongli was taken aback, "I am a Shang dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and I should convince people with virtue, how can I do such a thing that is inferior to a beast?" ”

Wu Han, an official who surrendered from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, said: "Your Majesty! The king of the south is so bold that he actually behaves like a beast in the vassal country, and he doesn't understand the court's intention to be gentle and far away! Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the king of the south should be punished heavily! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

A group of ministers stood up one after another, all of them filled with righteous indignation, saying that they would severely punish Wang Yu who did evil in the overseas land of Nanyang.

"How should it be punished?" Yongli only felt at a loss, Wang Yu's army was strong and well-armed, it was the strongest army in the world, and the economy was strong, and the food and ammunition were completely self-sufficient, as long as he did not play the banner of rebellion, if Yongli sent troops to fight, I am afraid that he would kill himself. Think about the Ming Dynasty, although the royal family surnamed Zhu was killed a lot by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are still many people living in the people, and King Lu is in the hands of Wang Yu, if Wang Yu wants to set up an emperor by himself, I am afraid it is not a difficult thing.

Thinking of King Lu, Yongli felt even more panicked in his chest.

At this time, Li Sixing, who had just returned from going to the south, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen went to Jiangnan to come back, the king of the south is loyal to my Ming Dynasty, and has no objections, he just wants to open up territory for my Ming Dynasty." Now the king of the south is building a powerful fleet just to chase the ocean, and his mind is not on land. ”

"Build a fleet?" Sun Zaifeng shook his head and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the king of the south has built a fleet, and I don't know how many people from the vassal kingdom will be ruined!" ”

Wu Han said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Although the country is big, the belligerent will die! I also hope that Your Majesty will think about the people of the vassal country and issue an order to stop the southern king's reckless military move! ”
