"Your Majesty, no."

"Your Majesty, how long has the trouble of the crisis been gone? Be careful."

"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!"

Wang Xiao said that he wanted to reduce the vassal states, and civil officials were all swarming against it.

They all talk about the incident of the Jingnan Campaign, and they all expressed their concerns that the reduction of the vassal states would have very serious consequences.

Wang Xiao did not agree with the opposition of these civil servants.

Because he knew very well that the real trump card in his hand was not these big turbans.

The emperor only has strong soldiers and horses!

As long as you have military power in your hands, the emperor's position will be as stable as a rock.

On the contrary, if there is no military power in your hands, then the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty after the middle Tang Dynasty will be the best negative teaching material.

Of course, Wang Xiao also knew that directly reducing the vassals and abolishing the title would cause a fierce backlash. Although he was not worried about the rebellion of the princes, it was in the flower planting family, and it was always bad to hurt the flowers and plants.

"Since everyone objected, then change the seal."

Wang Xiao put forward his real purpose and moved all the princes in China away. "In the future of the Ming Dynasty, we must focus on the sea. What's the point of staring at the three melons and two dates at home all day long. People in the royal family should be the example of the world, and all the kings will be re-elected overseas."

If you want to see future development, then no one in this world can compare to Wang Xiao.

In this period when the Age of Discovery has begun, a large-scale land acquisition is the right way.

The civil officials were a little depressed because they discovered that Wang Xiao’s real intention was to vigorously promote the navigation. The so-called cutting of the vassal states was just to throw a stone to ask for directions.

I have already opposed it once before. If the new emperor objected one after another after the first order, would he still be used to hang out in the court in the future?

This matter was settled.

From then on, the power of the Ming Dynasty will gradually tilt towards the ocean, and Wang Xiao's first small goal was set in Fusang.

"Yang Shiqi."

Wang Xiao directly clicked, "You go to Fusang and discuss with them about trading and renting. Tell those Fusang people, if you talk well, then you and I, everyone. If you don't talk well, then let them experience whether the Ming sword is sharp."

Yang Shiqi was a little confused, "Fusang is a country that Taizu appointed as a non-suffering country."

"I didn't say I wanted to beat him." Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "I used my brain to find a way. Our merchant ship was robbed in Fusang, and the merchants were treated unfairly. This is called armed protection of overseas Chinese, not conquering. Do you understand?"

What else can Yang Shiqi say? He can only say that Weichen knows.

A grand banquet was held in the evening to entertain the envoys from all countries who came to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.

There were many vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, which was the most important of all dynasties.

At the highest number, it reached more than one hundred vassal states.

The more famous ones include North Korea, Ryukyu, Fusang, Luzon, Malacca, Sumatra, Siam (Thailand), Mantaga (Myanmar), Sulu (Philippines), Zhanbei (Indonesia), Ceylon Lion Kingdom (Sri Lanka), etc.

There are far away Yemen, Yangpo in East Africa, Somalia, Tanzania, and even Zanzibar.

The tribes on the grasslands in the north, dozens of countries in the Western Regions, as well as Tubo, Nepal and other countries.

If all these vassal states were mapped out, the Ming Dynasty would be a superpower from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, from Asia to Africa.

When Zheng He's fleet existed, these vassal states were very respectful. However, as soon as the policy of not being able to go into the sea in history was released, overseas vassal states basically said goodbye to the Ming Dynasty.

People from these distant places were circulated in later generations to look forward to the arrival of white people, but actually referring not to the Europa people, but to the Ming Dynasty!

Wearing a golden dragon robe, bead curtains and crowns, and wearing regular makeup, Wang Xiao took Sun Ruowei's hand and came to Fengtian Hall to attend the banquet.

The Jiaofang Office has set up nine music and songs in the hall, and the Dale is outside the hall, and the dance team is waiting outside the hall.

Guanglu Temple has a wine pavilion on the west side of the imperial throne, a dining pavilion on the east side of the imperial throne, and a treasure pavilion on the east side of the wine pavilion.

The ministers above the fourth rank are in the hall, and below the fifth rank are in the hall. A group of people including the Si Ke, Shangjiu, Shangshi, etc. are also arranged to serve them.

The imperial seat in the hall is covered with yellow commanders, and the Jinwu Guard stands on both sides.

The luxury and grandeur of the flower planter is fully revealed at this moment.

A group of small country envoys who could not even name them, could not even speak the words of the shock.

Wang Xiao walked into the hall and the joy immediately rang out.

The royal prince, a civil and military officer of the fourth rank and above, came forward in batches to praise and pay homage to the great ceremony.

The atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and the envoys from all over the world were really dazzled.

Wang Xiao reached out and picked up the wine glass, and the Jiaofangsi immediately played the "Yan Jing Song." Everyone knelt down and saluted.

When he finished his first glass of wine, the music stopped. Everyone fell down again and praised and bowed.

After this set of etiquette was completed, everyone took their seats. The song of the Imperial Wind sounded, and the banquet was officially begun.

"Before I came in, I heard you clamoring here, what's the matter?"

Wang Xiao's eyes fell on Guanglu Temple Qing.

Before the Guanglu Temple Minister could speak, someone from the messenger ran out to salute Wang Xiao.

"The Emperor is in peace."

"Who are you"

"The ministers from North Korea offered Han Changqi to present a letter to pay tribute to the emperor, including gold, silver and other items."

North Korea was the most loyal younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, and he really served the Ming Dynasty like he was filial to his parents. It was definitely the opposite of South Korea, which later generations claimed to be the most powerful country in the universe.

Every year, we pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and we will send envoys to greet each other during the holidays.

The reign name is the reign name of the Ming Dynasty, with the capital of the Ming Dynasty as the capital, the Ming Dynasty as the Heavenly Kingdom, the Ming army as the heavenly soldiers, and the Ming Dynasty envoys as the angels.

In the true sense, the Ming Dynasty was fully respected as the sect leader. Their emperor did not dare to be emperor, but could only be king, and he was also a vassal king enthroned by the Ming Dynasty.

This is not to say how high their awareness is. In fact, just look at the geographical environment, cultural influence, and the strength gap between the two sides that is deeper than the Mariana Trench, you will know why you do this.

North Korea directly borders the Ming Dynasty, and its national strength is dozens or hundreds of times different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, they were still the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty and had a very close relationship with the Yuan Dynasty.

In this case, the Ming Dynasty is very likely to destroy North Korea.

If it weren't for Li Chenggui's thick legs immediately after he came to power, if Zhu Di hadn't been busy fighting the Jingnan Campaign, then North Korea would have become the governor.

North Korea not only presented gold, silver, jewelry, horses, ginseng and other tributes to the Ming Dynasty, but also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty Emperor.

When Zhu Di was in power, he often sent beauties to the capital by special incoming envoys.

Every time I send a beautiful woman, marriage is prohibited in North Korea, and it must be selected by the angels of the Ming Dynasty.

This contribution lasted until the Zhengde period.

Wang Xiao looked at the official uniforms on his body to the etiquette and etiquette, and even his tone of speaking were no different from those of the Ming officials, so he said, "You were quarreling before?"

"Reply to the Emperor."

Han Changqi saluted respectfully, "The North Korean serves the Ming Dynasty as his parents, and treats North Korea as his parents and children. The Emperor has given banquets all the time, and our Korean envoys are the first of the vassals. But the Fusang envoy wants to take the position of the minister, so please let the emperor decide for his subordinates."

North Korea has always considered itself the first vassal state, so when they received envoys and gave them feasts, they sat at the top of the envoys.

In the past, Annan competed with them for the first place, and the two sides fought openly and secretly and did a lot of dirty things.

But now Annan has been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea believes that the status of its own son cannot be shaken. However, it did not expect that the envoy sent by Fusang wanted to sit on their heads. This made Han Changqi completely unbearable.

This is simply a naked attack on North Korea!

Before, he had a big quarrel with the messenger sent by the Ashikaga Shogunate, and it was not until Wang Xiao entered the palace to settle down.

Now that Wang Xiao asked about this, Han Changqi immediately jumped out and asked Daming's father to make decisions for him.

Wang Xiao's eyes fell on the Fusang messenger wearing a hat of the nobles and a white fen on his face.

The Fusang envoy immediately jumped out and threw himself beside Han Changqi to salute.

"The emperor is in the upper and lower ministers of the Japanese crown prince, Genyoshi, and one of them is a good person."

Wang Xiao carefully recalled the information about the Ashikaga shogunate that he had read and couldn't help but laugh.

Now, there is no need for Yang Shiqi to go on an expedition to make excuses, but he has come to his door by himself.

As the person next to the pillow, Sun Ruowei immediately knew that he was going to mess with others again when he saw Wang Xiao's smile.

In Fusang, Ashikaga was the general of the Conquering the Wild, not the Emperor.

The previous general Ashikaga Yoshiman, the general in the clever Ikkyu, was the one in the smart general. This was a fan of the Ming Dynasty who admired the ultimate fan of the Ming Dynasty. He sent envoys to the point of being the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty many times, asking him to be the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him very much, thinking that the Emperor was the king who truly represented Fusang.

Later in the Yongle period, Zhu Di finally accepted Ashikaga Yoshima's loyalty, formally established the relationship between vassals and canonization, and also gave Ashikaga Yoshima the golden seal of the Japanese king. This golden seal is still preserved in museums in the modern world.

This is also the last time that Huaxia became Fusang's father.

But after Ashikaga Yoshima, a crazy fan of the Ming Dynasty, died, Fusang was in turmoil. Ashikaga Yoshima, who succeeded to the throne, gave up Ashikaga Yoshima's policy, stopped offering sacrifices to the Ming Dynasty, and instead became alienated from the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao's expression became serious, "You Fusang was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but in recent years, they have been dissatisfied with their own conspiracies. Ashikaga Yoshi insisted on changing national policies, planning to rebel against orthodoxism, controlling the government, and even condoning Japanese pirates to harass our coastal areas. Is it the Son of Man who did it?"

Yi Yi is the head of the nobles and nobles. He is a senior official in the court at a young age and has a very high regard for him.
