All the ministers knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Yongli said, "Although what Ma Jixiang said is inappropriate, it is the right time for the country to employ people, so we should not pursue this matter any further!"

Ma Jixiang secretly remembered Wu Xiangsheng and other people who insulted him, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."

After the court affairs were discussed and he was about to leave the court, a guard in royal robes came into the palace and reported, "There is an envoy who wants to see you!"

Wearing a navy blue military uniform with a red flower tassel on the chest, the envoy of the Great China Empire entered the hall carrying a flag and bowed to Emperor Yongli on the dragon throne.

Ma Jixiang jumped up and said, "Bold envoy, you will not kneel down when you see the emperor tomorrow."

The envoy said, "I am not a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How can I kneel down?"

Ma Jixiang said, "The emperor of tomorrow is the common master of the world. Is he the king's minister who leads the land? Do you dare not to kneel down?"

The envoy ignored Ma Jixiang and smiled at Emperor Yongli, "May I ask the emperor, how much of the coast of Litu is left now?"

The ministers were furious and yelled at the envoy, "How dare you be rude to the emperor? Take him out and execute him."

Emperor Yongli was very unhappy, but he knew that it was not a troublesome time. If he really wanted to kill the envoy, and they sent troops to fight, wouldn't he be attacked from both sides and be destroyed in an instant?

For the sake of the inheritance of his ancestors, Emperor Yongli suppressed his anger and said to the envoy, "If you don't kneel down, why are the envoys here?"

The envoy looked at the ministers around him with contempt, and said to Emperor Yongli, "Your Majesty, the head of my family asked me to deliver a great gift to the emperor!"

Although the envoy was rude, he came all the way to offer gifts to the emperor. Yongli's expression softened and he smiled a bit. After all, he pretended to be a co-owner of the world and all nations came to court.

What is it?"

The envoy said, "They are all outside the palace!"

Emperor Yongli said, "Send it up."

The eunuch beside him sang loudly, "The tributes are coming to the temple!"

Soon, several soldiers came up carrying wooden boxes. After the soldiers, two more soldiers led a woman to the temple.

Emperor Yongli asked in confusion, "What kind of tribute is this? Who is this woman?"

The envoy said, "In the wooden box are Sha Dingzhou's generals Chen Changming, Tie Hu, and Tang Jingjia."

All the ministers were shocked. When Sha Dingzhou was in rebellion, Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, also asked Emperor Yongli for help. However, at that time, Sha Dingzhou had more than 300,000 troops. Yongli was also powerless, fearing that Sha Dingzhou would

Dingzhou went to Guangxi.

Later, in the battle at Qipan Mountain, Li Laiheng defeated Sha Dingzhou with 10,000 men and defeated Sha Dingzhou with 300,000 men. Yongli's monarchs and ministers only thought that Li Laiheng was brave and invincible, and Sha Dingzhou was just a straw bag, so they no longer trusted Sha Dingzhou.

Who would have thought that today, the heads of Sha Dingzhou's generals would actually be presented.

However, the Duke of Guizhou was the Duke of Guizhou of the Ming Dynasty after all. It was justified to sacrifice the heads of the rebellious Sha Dingzhou tribe to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongli said, "Very good, what happened to that woman?"

The envoy said, "This is Sha Dingzhou's wife Wan."

Yongli nodded and said, "Your head of state is very careful. I like this tribute very much. But as far as I know, Sha Dingzhou and his soldiers and people have all withdrawn to Annan. How can you catch him?"

The envoy smiled and said, "What's the point? Annan is just not far from Yunnan. My head of state personally led troops to Annan, destroyed the Zheng family of Li Dynasty, cooked Sha Dingzhou in one pot, and then dedicated his head to the emperor."

All the ministers took a breath of cold air and caught up

Annan destroyed the Zheng family and captured the Sha family. The envoy said it was so easy.

Emperor Yongli was surprised. Not long ago, he had been worried about Annan's invasion of Lianzhou. Now he learned from the envoy that the Zheng family, the powerful Annan official who invaded Lianzhou, had been destroyed. He said it so lightly.

As a king, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you cannot lose your composure. Emperor Yongli suppressed the shock in his heart and smiled slightly, "You said you went to Annan, can you give more details?"

The envoy said, "My head of state started his troops and went south at the beginning of the year. He entered Annan in March and captured the royal capital Tokyo in half a month. Zheng Zha fled to Langjiang and was captured and beheaded by our army. Shadingzhou's tribe fled to Langshan.

After being captured, Lianzhou has been completely recovered."

Emperor Yongli was full of disbelief and said for a long time, "It's amazing, it's amazing. What is the official position of the head of your family? Why have I never heard of it?"

The envoy said, "The head of state is the head of the empire, the largest of the seven pillar states, and is equivalent to the emperor."

Emperor Yongli's expression changed. Another person proclaimed himself emperor, and his military force was still so strong. This dream of reviving the Ming Dynasty may really become a mirror.

Emperor Yongli steeled himself and said, "I know, please leave if you have nothing to do!"

The envoy took out a letter from his arms and said, "Here is a letter from my head of state to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongli glanced at the eunuch, and the eunuch walked down to the altar, took the letter, opened it and presented it to Emperor Yongli.

Seeing Emperor Yongli flipping through the letter paper, the envoy seemed a little confused and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the way my head of state writes is different from ordinary people. Your Majesty should start from the top and read from left to right."

Emperor Yongli smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen it written like this..."

Soon, Emperor Yongli's laughter stopped, his smile froze on his face, his fair complexion turned into the color of pig liver, he threw the letter to the ground and said angrily, "Extremely arrogant!"

Looking at the envoy, murderous intent swirled in his heart, but he finally calmed down, suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, and waved his hand, "I won't kill you, just step back!"

The envoy bowed and said, "Resign!"

When the envoys retreated, Emperor Yongli couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the handrail of the carved dragon with his palm, "This is too much of an insult to me!"

The eunuch beside him said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"

Emperor Yongli raised his hand and saw that the dragon's head had been cut on his palm, and blood was flowing all over his palm. The pain made Emperor Yongli calm down a little, "Grand Scholar Qu Shishu!"

Qu Shichun took a step forward and said, "I'm here!"

Yongli winked at the eunuch, who stepped forward to pick up the letter, walked off the platform, and handed it to Qu Shishu.

Qu Shichun unfolded the letter and saw that it was indeed written from left to right. The handwriting showed no writing skills at all, and many of the words and strokes were simplified. He laughed and said, "The handwriting is vulgar!"

Emperor Yongli pressed the wound with a piece of cloth and said, "Please tell your beloved ministers your faith!"

Qu Shisi bowed down to signal to the emperor, then turned towards the main hall and said, "Emperor Yongli personally declares that I am the head of the Chinese army, Wan Jun. I have long admired your majesty's name. I now present to your majesty the heads of the traitor Sha Dingzhou's wife and generals."

, I hope to see my true appearance as soon as possible. The Qing Dynasty invaded Beijing and the Ming Dynasty retreated to Guangdong and Guangxi. It is really inappropriate for Your Majesty to still ignore the foreign thieves and fight with King Lu in the same room. My wife, Zhu, is the daughter of King Rui. In terms of seniority, Your Majesty is still me.

Brother, why don't you come back with your ministers? Brother, I will give you the post of Zhuguo. If you don't want to, Annan has been pacified by the Chinese army. There are no foreign enemies to the west of Lianzhou, and Hengyang to Ji in the north.

There is no need to worry An, your Majesty can concentrate his troops to compete with King Lu."

After hearing this, all the ministers knelt on the ground together, "The master is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the master will humiliate the minister to death. The crime of the minister and others deserves death!"

Emperor Yongli sighed, "It's enough for me to be humiliated. The foundation of our ancestors cannot be abandoned. What should you ministers do for the present?"

Qu Shishu lay on the ground and said, "You have insulted my Majesty. This matter cannot be let go here. We send out troops to teach this guy a lesson!"

The ministers were divided into two groups for a while. One threatened to send troops to Shaanxi and kidnap thousands of troops to apologize to His Majesty. The other analyzed the general situation and realized the pros and cons. The court could not win the battle with King Lu. Annan, who was quite afraid, was captured with a snap of his fingers.

If it is destroyed, the disparity in strength is too great, your Majesty should just endure it.

Emperor Yongli listened for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "That's all, I'm tired, please step aside!"

The eunuch hurriedly sang, "Retreat from the court!"

All the ministers shouted in unison, "Long live, long live, long live, long live!"

Amidst the shouts, Yongli got off the throne tiredly and turned into the back hall.

"The daughter of King Rui, the daughter of King Rui!"

Yongli sighed in his heart, King Rui's son-in-law, I heard that this man re-buried King Rui in Chongqing, but how could this Ming Dynasty's foundation be given up to others in vain?

After some thought, Emperor Yongli made up his mind that while there could be many forces in the world, the Ming Dynasty could only have one emperor. Tomorrow he would redeploy his troops to Chaozhou as planned.

Outside Guangzhou, a lucky boat sailed leisurely out of the Pearl River Estuary. Two men held the bow of the boat and looked at the sea in the river breeze.

One person lamented, "The sea is so vast that there is no end in sight. No wonder the head of state is so concerned about it."

A person next to him said, "Brother Yang, I don't know. It's a good day today. When there are storms and waves on the sea, they can be several feet high. A boat can be shattered by one wave. When you beg at sea, you have to have your head tied to your trouser belt. It's like hell."

Grab the food and eat it.”

The man surnamed Yang said, "What are you afraid of? The head of state has said that he will build bigger and stronger ships in the future, and there will be some instruments that can measure the air pressure. You can know the wind and waves before they come!"

Another person laughed and said, "Yes, everyone will know soon that our envoy Yang Guimin will not kneel before the Emperor of Heaven, and there is nothing the Emperor can do to you."

There was a smile on Yang Guimin's lips, but he still said, "This is all due to the power of the head of state, I am just a fox pretending to be a tiger."

Another person said, "Oh, why don't I, Yu Shengxiu, have this opportunity to honor my ancestors?"

Yang Guimin said, "The head of state asked you to go to Macau to meet ordinary people. Isn't it also a very important thing?"

Yu Shengxiu said, "It's Portugal, it's the Franji people. What's good about Hongyi, but nothing better than seeing the true face of the Emperor of Heaven with your own eyes."

Yang Guimin said, "I have never seen the Hongyi people. Their hair is really red?"

Yu Shengxiu said, "Really, there are red, yellow, and black. Their eyes are really blue."

Yang Guimin suddenly said, "With such a red beard and yellow beard, he doesn't look like a human being. No wonder he is called Hong Yi."

Yu Shengxiu said, "It looks like a human being, but Hongyi's body smells bad, and his words sound like ghosts. If there wasn't a Hongyi who could speak Chinese, I wouldn't know what the ghosts were calling."

At what time the drizzle fell, Yang Guimin raised his head and looked at the sky. A cloud could drift over the sea and it would rain for a while.
