After Liu Mingzhi entered the palace, he detoured directly to the back of Qinzheng Hall and walked out of the bead curtain at the sound of Xiao Chengzi's sharp voice.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"I will see you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live."
"My lords, please take your seats without ceremony!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Today, he was going to meet with the envoys from the vassal countries. It was rare that Liu Mingzhi did not walk towards the dragon platform as before and sat directly on the cold dragon chair.
Liu Mingzhi, who has never liked the cold and hard dragon chair, felt that it was so comfortable to sit on the dragon chair for the first time.
"My lords, please postpone our discussion for a while. Let's meet with the envoys from various countries first!"
"I obey the order!"
Wang Hezheng walked out directly holding a memorial: "The minister of Honglu Temple is here to see your majesty!"
"Without courtesy, please tell me about the envoys from various countries who are coming to court!"
"According to the order!"
Wang Hezheng opened the memorial in his hand with a solemn expression and cleared his throat.
“There is no greater country than the heavenly state, and there is no more noble position than the emperor of the heaven.
The great dragon emperor was ordered by heaven to wield great power throughout the world. He carried supreme authority and glorified all nations in the world with his kindness.
All the kings outside the country admire the majesty of our heavenly dynasty, and all respect our celestial majesty.
Therefore, all the kings, in order to show their admiration and awe for our heaven, specially sent envoys from various countries to pay homage to me.
Kim Tae-eun, the envoy of Goguryeo, went to the Dragon Palace as scheduled to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor on the orders of King Li Guozheng.
A total of four boxes of gold, silver and jade were donated, including ten gold items, fifty jade items, and fifty silver items.
One hundred sea pearls and two five-foot coral trees.
Twenty wild ginseng trees grown in Goguryeo that are hundreds of years old, and one hundred pieces of silk and satin.
One hundred beauties from Goguryeo.
Five boxes of gold, silver and jade from Siam.
Ten pairs of ivory and twenty rare birds and animals.
A box of pearl agate.
One hundred beauties from Siam.
Ten boxes of Baekje gold, silver and jade articles, and one hundred pieces of silk and satin.
One hundred beauties of Baekje.
Fujino Ninghe, the Japanese envoy, ten boxes of gold, silver and jade.
One hundred sea pearls and fifty hundred-year-old wild ginseng.
Ten deep-sea corals and twenty boxes of precious spices.
One hundred Japanese beauties.
The Japanese envoy Sakai Kajin presented thirty pieces of gold, silver and jade..."
"etc!"
"His Majesty?"
"What's going on with the Japanese mission? Wasn't there a Fujino Ninghe? Why did a Sakai Ga appear again?
Aren’t they still together?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am preparing to report this matter to Your Majesty later. Since Your Majesty asked, I will tell you now.
Fujino Ningwa represented the king of Japan and came to pay homage, while Sakai Ka represented the head of the Sakai family, Sakai Ichiko, who came to pay homage.
It is said that the current situation in Japan seems to be a confrontation between the north and the south.
As for the specific situation, His Majesty will understand after receiving them and seeing their credentials!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled for a moment, Sakai Kazuko? Why is this name so familiar? It seems... I remembered this young master. Isn't this the young man from the Sakai family back then?
His sister's name seems to be Sakai Hoshi or something...probably Sakai Hoshino.
Looks pretty cool.
After so many years, I don’t know if this awesome little fairy from Japan is already married. I guess her children will be scattered all over the place.
It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to have sex back then, and now I'm someone else's wife!
"His Majesty?"
"His Majesty?"
"Ah? Ah! Go on!"
"yes!
The Japanese envoy Sakai Hejin presented thirty boxes of precious gold, silver and jade articles.
Fifty corals, a hundred sea pearls, pearl agate...
Annan Kingdom..........
Silla Kingdom..........
One hundred Silla beauties!
Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
"Little Chengzi!"
"yes!"
Xiao Chengzi hurriedly ran down, took the fold from Wang Hezheng's hand, ran back and handed it to Liu Mingzhi's hand.
Young Master Liu flipped through it casually for a few times before placing it on the dragon table. He looked at the civil and military officials in the palace with a wry smile.
"Now I don't even have the three palaces and six courtyards, but these vassal countries have sent a hundred young beauties to me for my favor.
Do I look like a faint king who is addicted to beauty?
Besides, although they didn't look down on me, they looked up to me.
There are hundreds of beauties, but I am too tired to dote on them.
Really, if you have this intention, it would be more cost-effective to donate more gold and silver."
Seeing Liu Mingzhi's depressed and self-deprecating expression, all the officials also laughed in agreement.
"Honglu Temple!"
"Old minister is here!"
"Sit back and rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Xiao Chengzi, let the envoys from all countries come to the palace to see you!"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that envoys from all countries should come to the palace to see you."
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that envoys from all countries should come to the palace to see you."
After a while, under the leadership of the Imperial Guard soldiers, a group of people wearing various costumes walked into the palace.
"Goguryeo envoy Kim Tae-eun!"
"Iseon-se, the envoy of Baekje Kingdom."
"The Japanese envoy..."
"His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor, long live long live!"
"Your envoys will be given a seat without any courtesy."
To be continued...
