In the court, Zhu Houxi looked down at the civil and military officials.
Among the civil and military officials, there are loyal and treacherous people.
However, Zhu Zaihou was not in a hurry to reform the cabinet.
Zhu Zaihou would not easily express his stance before there was a perfect reform plan.
The current Xu Jie was only a temporary substitute chief assistant…
On the throne, Zhu Zaihou looked at all the civil and military officials and said,"
"However, I have no intention of relaxing for even a moment.”
"I'm afraid that if I relax a little, there will be villains playing tricks behind my back!”
Zhu Zaihou's voice echoed in the hall.
It was as if metal and stone had collided and resonated.
They all bowed and held the board tightly, not daring to speak.
Zhu Zaihou stood up from the throne and slowly walked down from the dragon platform.
Walking to the court, the officials bowed even more.
"I know that you have a kind of arrogance now. Do you think that the world will be at peace after the defeat of the Tartars?”
"We wouldn't dare. Your Majesty is wise!“
All the officials shouted in unison.
"Enough! I am very calm! Zhen doesn't need you to pat me on the back."
"Zhen accepts advice and flattery. Zhen will not be blinded by your flattery and disturb my mind!”
"I know that among you people, those who form cliques form cliques, form cliques, and fight against those who are different.
When Zhu Zaihou saw that all the civil and military officials in the court were sweating, he knew that the beating was almost done.
He didn't mention the battle for the chief assistant.
He knew that power struggles couldn't go too far!
Otherwise, the Emperor would find him and kill him at any time!
All the officials understood that their lives depended on the Emperor's words.
Amidst the nervous and uneasy emotions of the civil and military officials.
Zhu Zaihou returned to the throne.
He signaled the eunuch with his eyes to announce the beginning of the court meeting.
"If you have a report, you will retreat!"
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.
The Minister of Rites, Wang Yong, walked out of the line.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's year name, Long Qing, has been used.”
"The surrounding vassal countries have already sent tribute and annual silver to beg for Great Ming's protection. The envoys of the vassal countries have already arrived at the capital.”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Hou issued an edict,"
"The envoys of the vassal countries will be received by the Bureau of Rites and the Chamberlain of Dependencies when they arrive in the capital. This one hereby proclaims that from today onwards, the use of 'light' and 'generous' methods will be abolished."
"Your humble subject obeys your decree…"
The Minister of Rites, Wang Yong, was shocked.
This generous policy was formulated by Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di.
This was useless?
Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West, in line with the policy of the Central Plains since ancient times, advocating the idea of "
Zhu Di once said,
It was an activity that was not worth it financially.
The tributes from the vassal countries had limited economic value.
The economic value of the Ming Dynasty's rewards greatly exceeded the economic value of the tributes.
All the ministers, including the Minister of Rites, knew that the emperor was a man of his word.
Even if it was the words of the Heaven Emperor or the Jade Emperor, it was a national policy.
The current emperor might also abolish it just because he wanted to!
In Zhu Zaihou's opinion, why should he give up the benefits to the vassal states?
Being able to protect them from invasion was already the great kindness of the Ming Emperor!
Tribute, a year of silver can not be less than a penny.
The rewards given to them must not exceed the tribute they gave to the mother country.
Otherwise, it would develop into a tribute trade.
In the end, it was still the Ming Empire that suffered.
At this moment, the Minister of Rites continued,"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
" King Chao Moss is here to congratulate His Majesty on his ascension to the throne…"
