Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming's nostalgic expression and nodded with a chuckle.
"What you are saying is true, no one is exempt from vulgarity in this world! Not to mention you, even I was in this category back then.
I am very satisfied with the answer given by the boss, but I wonder if the boss has any other documents to submit?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no reason to report."
"Okay, then go back and take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi watched Xia Gongming walking towards his position holding the Chao Hut, then turned around and climbed towards the Longtai.
"My dear ministers, is there any other beloved minister who has a report that you would like to report?"
Wang Hezheng, the Minister of Honglu Temple, looked around and saw that none of his colleagues made any move. He directly raised the Chao Hut and saluted Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting on the dragon throne again.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have something to report."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Wang Hezheng's words, although he already knew what he was going to report, he still looked over slightly.
"allow."
Wang Hezheng immediately stood up and walked towards the center of the hall, taking out a document from his sleeve halfway.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese mission, the Annan mission, the Goguryeo mission, the Baekje mission... have been in Beijing for many days, and now all the missions from various countries are looking forward to entering the palace to see His Majesty immediately, hoping to see His Majesty's heaven as soon as possible.
Majestic face.
I would like to ask, Your Majesty, whether you will summon envoys from various countries to the palace to pay homage to you?"
"Where are the missions from all countries now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the envoys from all countries should be waiting outside the palace gate now."
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
"You go and send the envoys from various countries to the palace."
"I obey, little one."
Liu Song gave a big salute, walked off the dragon platform and went straight to the palace gate.
After just a few cups of tea, Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting high on the dragon platform, could vaguely see Liu Song slowly leading the envoys from various countries in different clothes towards the Qinzheng Hall.
After a while, Liu Song explained something to the envoys from various countries who were standing at the edge of the Thousand Level Platform, and trotted directly towards Qinzheng Hall.
"Back to the young master, the envoys from all countries are now outside the palace and are waiting for the young master to summon them at any time."
Liu Mingzhi nodded inconspicuously, and then directly looked at Wang Hezheng in the center of the hall.
"Wang Aiqing, credential."
"Old minister, I obey."
Wang Hezheng bowed respectfully, nodded slightly and opened the document in his hand.
"The great dragon is the king of heaven.
Our Majesty, the Emperor, has been entrusted by heaven to command all nations with great power. He exercises supreme majesty and honors all nations in the world with his kindness.
All foreign countries have admired the prosperity of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty and feared the majesty and fame of our Great Dragon Emperor for a long time.
Therefore, all the kings sent envoys to Dalong Dynasty to meet with His Majesty the Emperor and pay homage to His Majesty’s beauty.
Lan Nan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Siam, went to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor on the order of the King of Siam.
Donate five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry as annual offerings.

…
Reporting back to Your Majesty, I have listed the annual gifts for the envoys of the 18 countries on the document. Please take a look at it."
Liu Mingzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon table for a moment, and looked at the document in Wang Hezheng's hand with interest.
"Wang Aiqing."
"The old minister is here."
"What is the rare treasure presented by Japan?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know what I know. The Japanese envoy Sakai He told me that he would not reveal to the public the rare treasure they had prepared until he paid homage to Your Majesty.
Seeing his serious expression, the old minister did not continue to inquire."
"Yes, I understand, little Chengzi."
"Old slave, I obey."
Little Chengzi trotted towards the bottom of the dragon platform, happily took the document from Wang Hezheng's hand, returned to the dragon platform and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi casually took the document handed over by Xiao Chengzi, looked at Wang Hezheng and said softly: "Wang Aiqing, please return to your seat and take a seat."
"Old minister, I obey."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the crowd of envoys from various countries outside the palace gate with a calm expression, nodded slightly and opened the documents in his hand.
Looking at the contents of the document carefully, Mr. Liu's expression changed from time to time.
It seems that in order to be able to reward them with a batch of sophisticated military equipment, the Japanese country spent a lot of money on this year's annual tribute.
Liu Mingzhi roughly estimated that the value of the treasures donated by the Japanese mission this time was somewhat more valuable than the treasures donated by seven or eight small countries combined.
This is not counting the rare treasure that I don’t know what it is.
If that rare treasure was particularly valuable, the value of the treasure donated by the Japanese mission might have increased by several percent.
Looking at the series of gift lists on the document, Liu Mingzhi felt that it would be unreasonable for him not to reward the Japanese mission with a batch of dragon weapons.
Liu Mingzhi pondered thoughtfully for a moment, closed the documents in his hands and placed them directly on the dragon case.
"Xiao Chengzi, Xuan."
"Old slave, I obey."
Xiao Chengzi shook the fly whisk in his hand, walked to the edge of the dragon platform and stopped.
"His Majesty has spoken and sent word to envoys from all countries to come to the palace to pay homage."
The Imperial Guards officers on duty outside the Qinzheng Hall heard Xiao Chengzi's sharp words, and ten of them set off directly towards the envoys from various countries.
"Your Majesty has issued a decree to announce the entrance of all envoys into the palace."
"Thank you, generals."
The envoys from the various countries' missions saluted the ten Forbidden Army soldiers, then naturally formed several queues and walked towards the Qinzheng Palace in an orderly manner.
"The envoy Sakai He from the Japanese envoy is paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor Dalong. Long live His Majesty the Emperor."
"The envoy of Japan, Sakai Hoshino, pays homage to His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor. Long live His Majesty."
"The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, Hua Qiyingzhi, pays homage to you... His Majesty, Emperor Dalong, long live, long live, long live."
"Kim Tae-eun, the envoy of the Goguryeo Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. Long live His Majesty the Emperor."
"Lan Nan, the envoy from the Baekje Kingdom's envoy, pays his respects..."
"The state minister An Nanguo..."
"..."
After Liu Mingzhi waited for the eighteen envoys to pay their respects one by one, he looked at Sakai Hoshino and his daughter who were standing behind Sakai He with a strange expression.
Although the imperial court did not prohibit envoys from various foreign missions from entering the palace together, the appearance of the mother and daughter was somewhat beyond her expectation.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empty futons on both sides, smiled lightly and held up his hands.
"All envoys, please take your seats without ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Dalong, long live long live."
"Dear envoys, each country has different customs, different etiquette, and different cultures.
I, the Great Dragon, have always believed that the ocean is tolerant of all rivers and that it is great. Therefore, you envoys do not need to follow the sitting posture of my Great Dragon. You can sit in your own customs."
"His Majesty the Emperor is wise, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live."
