At this time, there was fierce internal strife within North Korea.

They looked down on the Tartars before, but they were beaten to death by the Tartars, and they had to accept their heads and bow down.

Those who stood firmly on the side of the Ming Dynasty were driven to Jianghua Island.

At that time, the one who controlled North Korea was the Tartar faction, referred to as the surrender faction.

However, when the Ming Emperor personally led the expedition, completely defeated the Tartars and recovered Liaodong, the pro-Ming faction quickly counterattacked and fought with the surrender faction.

It was just because the Pro-Ming faction was suppressed too hard before, so it was a deadlock.

It was not until this time that they barely reached an agreement, that is, to pay tribute to the emperor first.

You should know that Korea is the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty and has a very high status in the Ming Dynasty's tribute system.

However, after they were defeated by the Tartars, they actually chose to surrender to the Tartars.

The harm caused by this betrayal of status is naturally great.

When Chongzhen heard that Wang Xiao was intending to conquer North Korea and had become increasingly stable, he hesitantly said, "North Korea is the first vassal, and it is a country that does not be conquered by Taizu..."

"They surrendered to the Tartars." Wang Xiao had only such a light sentence.

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen immediately shut up.

Whether it is the first vassal state or the country that does not conquer, the premise is that you have to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

But you actually surrendered to the Tartars, not only providing the Tartars with a large amount of food and supplies, but also dispatched troops to participate in the attack on the Ming Dynasty.

This is a very powerful vassal, a country that is not conquered.

"The fourth counties of Han, the capital of Tang." Wang Xiao said leisurely with his hands behind his back, "It's time to get it back. Remember, you are determined to surpass Emperor Wu of Han."

Chongzhen, who was heavily poured into Wang Xiao, trembled excitedly when he heard this.

Emperor Wu of Han was in a state of war and used white deer coins to make money from the white wolf to pull the flag.

Emperor Taizong of Tang went to power because of the Sharks' forced his father, and then there was a dark history of tampering with daily life notes.

But even so, they are still the top kings that are praised by later generations.

The reason is very simple, that is, they have made great contributions to China's territory.

The Han and Wu opened the Western Regions and went to South Vietnam, setting up four counties to push the territory of the Chinese land to the extreme of geographical scope.

After hundreds of years of chaos, Emperor Tang took back all the lost places.

The weak and cowardly are always ridiculed because they cannot do this and are unable to take back the lost places.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty only completed most of the matter, such as the Western Regions, which only actually controlled the Hami Guards, thus forming an influence on the other side.

Even the emperor, even the foolish monarch, has the ambition to be the Khan of Heaven.

After overcoming the crisis of hanging the Southeast Branch, Chongzhen's ambitions also soared rapidly with the help Wang Xiao continued to provide.

"Grandpa said it."

Chongzhen nodded repeatedly, "The land of Korea was originally the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Grandpa Taizu thought of his respect and asked him to be the leader and also listed as a country that was not expropriated. But they did not want to repay the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, but instead surrendered to the Tartars and sent troops to attack our Ming Dynasty.

Those who rebel must be punished by righteous men!"

Wang Chengen, who looked down from the eyebrows and looked smoothly, smiled and nodded after hearing these words.

The emperor has been with Emperor Zhang for so long, and finally learned how to be the emperor.

If the emperor wants to raise an army, no matter whether he has any reason or not, he must first raise a name for righteousness.

Not to mention that North Korea is now covered in black water, it can’t be washed off no matter how hard it is.

Even if they are as clean as flour, they have to quote the classics and find excuses.

Only if you can do this can you be considered a truly qualified emperor.

"A child can teach you."

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Call that envoy here."

The envoy sent by North Korea this time was named Choi Chengxiu, who undoubtedly came from the Choi family, which was of two famous families.

He actually belongs to the surrender faction, or at that time most of North Korea's ministers belong to the surrender faction.

The true pro-Ming faction has been almost done by sharks in the invasion of the Tartars and the turmoil in succession.

As for the fact that they despised the Tartars, they always used the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not that they love the Ming Dynasty so much, but because they believe that they are orthodox and think that they have the opportunity to inherit the Ming Dynasty's legacy.

At the same time, he really looked down on the Tartars. After all, North Korea has a 3,000-mile territory. When it became the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars were still hunting in the mountains and forests.

The reason why I ran over to Daming again is naturally because Daming, which had been soft before, suddenly became hard again!

For these small vassal states, when the Central Plains dynasty was soft, they opened their mouths and bite them.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, it immediately surrendered to all kinds of considerate service, for fear that my father would get angry and slapped them to death.

There is no way, the Central Plains dynasty is too powerful, so powerful that it makes the vassals despair.

Now I heard that the Tartars who had beaten North Korea into a fool before were killed by the Ming Dynasty, and the surrender faction immediately became the pro-Ming faction.

After a fierce internal struggle, the interests of their respective families were arranged, and then Cui Chengxiu was sent to ask Daming's father to allow them to enter the house again.

"Cui Chengxiu, the minister of North Korea, pay homage to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live ~~~~"

Choi Chengxiu gave a formal gift, then lowered her head and raised a memorial, "The Prince of North Korea has a memorial here..."

The vassals are not casually talked about, and the Ming Dynasty father did not shout at random.

Under the Ming system, the King of Korea was the prince, and the replacement was subject to the Ming Dynasty. In terms of political status, it was not much better than those Ming princes who were raised as pigs.

"Only a memorial, no gift?"

Hearing someone's question, Choi Chengxiu hurriedly took out another book, "Reply to Your Majesty's words, here is the ritual book."

"Take it over and take a look."

This was inconsistent with the rules of etiquette, but Cui Chengxiu took it for granted that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty must be the one who could speak at this time, so he hurriedly stood up, lowered his head, held the ritual book and walked in front of Wang Xiao.

The reason I found Wang Xiao here is because only Wang Xiao is sitting here.

‘The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was really a mistake in wearing casual clothes...well?’

Cui Chengxiu, who was whispering in her heart, suddenly saw Wang Xiao from the corner of her eyes, with her head down.

The figure could only see the lower body, but there was an unquestionable dragon robe.

Choi Chengxiu's mind crashed on the spot.

The emperor must be wearing the dragon robe, but why is the emperor standing? Who dares to sit in front of the emperor?

Cui Chengxiu, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, was very frustrated on the spot.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and took away the gift list from his hand. He opened it and looked at it and started to laugh.

"Ten pieces of yellow cloth and linen cloth, ten pieces of yellow flower mats, and ten pieces of colorful flower mats. Thirty kilograms of ginseng and ten pieces of yellow brush?"

Wang Xiao closed the gift list and threw it directly on Cui Chengxiu's chest. "Just these things, people in my Daming village ask for their daughter-in-law, and they give more brides than you. Are you here to give gifts or humiliate me Daming?"

His words are not nonsense. Now in the villages where Liaodong immigrated, the bride price for asking for his wife is indeed becoming more and more expensive.

The reason is very simple. On this fertile land, everyone has a good harvest this year and is exempt from taxes.

Every household has harvested a lot of food, and the court has also offered this year's grain purchase price, and every household has surplus food and money.

As for 30 kilograms of ginseng, it is indeed expensive in Jiangnan.

But this is Liaodong. Just dig it yourself into the forest, and you can still lack these things.

Cui Chengxiu raised her head in horror and saw Wang Xiao sitting on the chair, while the person in the dragon robe stood beside her.

Such a strange scene in front of him and a scene that goes against common sense completely made him a bad pen.

He pointed at "You, you..."

“Bold.”

Wang Guoxing came over and directly crushed him to the ground. "How dare he be rude to Your Majesty?!"

Choi Chengxiu was also frightened silly, "Is this your Majesty? Who is the person next to her? He dares to wear a dragon robe!"

He can come here as an envoy, so he naturally has no shortage of relevant knowledge.

What is the dragon robe and what is the python robe worn by the prince? It is naturally clear that it can be distinguished.

The one that Chongzhen wore was a dragon robe, like a fake one.

“Bold!”

Wang Guoxing shouted again and directly exerted his strength to press Cui Chengxiu's head into the mud, "How dare you be rude to Your Majesty?!"

"Both are emperors, and both are His Majesty?"

Cui Chengxiu's head was covered in mucus, "There are two emperors in the Ming Dynasty?"

The same thing is said, the Ming Dynasty was not the Internet era where the information explosion occurred in later generations.
