Looking at the greatly changed eyes of the ministers below, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, the reason why he threw out this idea in such a hurry was to guide the attention of the domestic elites, so that they should not focus on the country, but overseas, how vast overseas is, so many islands, so much land, even if one person is a thousand miles, then I don't know how much it can be divided.

North America, South America, Australia, and even India, these lands are terra nullius, so why should they be kept for Westerners.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao threw it out so early at this time in order to win the hearts of the people and let the land reform go smoothly, as long as the elites of the DPRK and China do not get involved in the land reform and secretly make things bad, those rich people in the countryside are nothing.

Besides, the hope of dividing the feud fell on everyone's head is very slim, but no one feels that he does not have the slightest hope, His Majesty has a long-term vision, the southern and northern wars, the civil and martial arts, all of them are refined, with such an emperor, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions, and now the most important thing is to keep up with the pace of the emperor and not fall behind.

Of course, at this time, the partition is only a proposal, the specific details, what kind of standard, how big the land, where the location is, when to start, all need to be discussed in detail, it is impossible to achieve in a short time, but it is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, which can make everyone move forward bravely.

The emperor stopped talking, but the ministers were still agitated, and it took a long time to calm down. Then, moving on to the following items, the three heads of government began to read out this year's budget, as well as the work plan of each state capital this year, which will be assessed next year, and which must be completed.

Xu Guangqi walked up to the front desk, a little distracted, and began to read it out without even saluting the emperor, but in this case, there were not many people who could still notice this.

Everyone was immersed in their own delusions and couldn't extricate themselves.

Xu Guangqi announced that it is still those, education, land reform, road construction, taxation, etc., these are the top priorities, but they are also clichés, of course, there are new ones, that is, a tax is levied, all monthly income of more than ten taels of silver must be levied individual tax, soldiers, civil servants, craftsmen, merchants, artists, etc.

If it was usual, I was afraid that I would have to tear it up, but today the court was unusually quiet, no one objected, everyone didn't want to be the first bird, so that the emperor would remember it, and there was no hope of separation.

In addition to this, it is a new chronological calendar announced, it is not accurate to say that the calendar, it is a record of the year, starting from this year, the implementation of the Yanhuang calendar, the first ancestor of China Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was born at the end of the first year of Yanhuang in the first year, in order to record the time, this year is the fourth year of the apocalypse, calculated, it is Yanhuang 4241 years.

At the same time, Xu Guangqi also announced that the date of the enthronement of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is the National Day of the Ming Dynasty, which is celebrated every year, and will be held in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, in the year 4242 of Yanhuang, and a military parade will be held in the new Damingmen Square.

The successive messages dazzled the ministers, and they couldn't react for a while.

After Xu Guangqi, he was the newly promoted to the first rank of the Zuodu Yushi Sun Juxiang, he was still in a trance at this time, and he didn't know how, he became a first-class product. Isn't that equal to Shousuke, and his grade is higher than that of several other cabinet scholars? Wouldn't I be able to impeach, supervise, or even investigate them?

A series of ideas swirled in his mind, making his reading out of the standard and full of mistakes and omissions, but the basic meaning was still reached, next year, another year of supervision, and the entire officialdom will be rectified.

After Sun Juxiang went down, it was Cao Yubian, the Dali Temple, compared to the former, he was much calmer, next year is the year of the change, whether he can still sit firmly in the Dali Temple, I don't know, so excited, the current priority is to do a good job this year.

In the past few years, when the institution was first established, there were no achievements in the past, but this year it has been three years, and there are no results.

This year is a critical year! With such a thought, Cao Yubian hastily finished reading this year's work plan, and then after a hundred years, it was better to do it, and then talk about it when it was done.

"Envoy Xuanshimazu and Tokugawa envoy to the palace." After Cao Yubian went down, Liu Ruoyu suddenly opened his voice.

Originally, according to the rules, after the three heads of state were finished, the court meeting would end, but at this time, Eunuch Liu suddenly said that there must be other programs. After a commotion, the ministers quieted down and watched quietly.

At this time, after Li Ruoyu passed the decree, the two envoys entered from both sides under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, and at the gate of the Huangji Palace, as soon as the leaders of the two envoys met, they changed color, and none of them expected that the other party would come back here.

After glancing at each other, the two of them snorted coldly, entered the main hall, and knelt down in unison to worship.

"King Tokugawa Iemitsu of Japan pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Lord Satsuma Shimazu Tadashi pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

It is really very strange that a shogun, a lord daimyo, appeared at a foreign court meeting together, and Zhu Youxiao was the same, looking at the two kneeling below in surprise, but he didn't expect that the leader of the envoy group this time turned out to be the person with the highest status in the other party's group.

Soon, this situation spread in the main hall, and after learning about it, the ministers praised it one after another, and the country of Japan was indeed obedient, and this first official tribute was over.

"When I go back, I must persuade His Majesty the King to let him personally come to Daming and make a pilgrimage to the Ming Emperor." After hearing about the round of surrounding ministers, the envoys of the five countries in the Indochina Peninsula all thought so.

"Tokugawa Hidetada, why do you claim to be the king of Japan!" After letting the two of them get up, Zhu Youxiao asked with interest.

"This was canonized by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Tokugawa Hidetada replied respectfully.

"The Founding Emperor? Sealed by Taizu? Zhu Youxiao was a little puzzled. Seeing that the emperor didn't know much about this matter, Liu Ruoyu next to him immediately whispered, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, Taizu once canonized the king of Japan." ”

"Oh." Zhu Youxiao understood, since there is really such a thing, then don't hold on to it.

Immediately, he asked, "Since you are the king of Japan, what about the emperor of Japan?" But still in place? ”

"This ......." Jiaguang didn't expect Emperor Ming to ask like this, and was a little stunned for a while, do you want to tell Emperor Ming that we haven't removed the emperor at all, but are still in power?

Why is this so, doesn't it mean that as soon as I am the king of Japan, the Ming Dynasty will not be delved into? Why do you ask about the emperor?

"There is no emperor in Japan." Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth. Anyway, the emperor is still there, and it would be nice if there was no external publicity. Many of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty did this, such as Annan before, who claimed to be the commander of the capital to the Ming Dynasty, but to the country, it was the self-proclaimed emperor.

"No, haha, it's good if there isn't, I hope there really isn't an emperor in Japan, otherwise my army will definitely set foot in Japan." Zhu Youxiao said as he spoke, and his tone suddenly turned cold.

That is, his infantry and cavalry are now pinned, and the navy is being retrained and expanded, and he is powerless to interfere in foreign affairs, otherwise he will definitely expose Tokugawa Iemitsu's lies on the spot and send troops to attack.

Now, let's wait, I'll talk about it later. However, it is not possible to do it personally, but it is still good to fight a proxy war. Zhu Youxiao's eyes immediately fell on Shimazu Tadashi.

"Master Shimazu, at your request, I have sent a large army to bombard Nagasaki, I wonder how you and I will fulfill the agreement?"

Here, Tokugawa Iemitsu had just breathed a sigh of relief because of Emperor Ming's credulity, but when he heard the inside story of the Nagasaki incident, he became angry in his heart and glared angrily at Shimazu Tadashi.

On the other hand, Shimazu Tadashi's face was indifferent, and he was not a little anxious because the Ming Emperor said such an easily misunderstood word, and after he made the decision to come to the Hajj in person, he had such a preparation in his heart, and the shogunate would know sooner or later that he was involved in the Nagasaki incident.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from Shimazu Tadashi, in addition to a million taels of silver, there are many other precious things, forget Your Majesty and smile." Tadashi Shimazu knelt down and said.

Then, after finishing the gift list, he took out a yellow book and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is the yellow book of the Shimazu family's household registration, and the Shimazu family is willing to belong to Your Majesty and be ministers forever." ”

"Shimazu Tadashi, you dare to betray the emperor." After hearing Shimazu Tadashi's remarks, Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious, and stood up angrily and rebuked.

"Well, there is indeed an emperor in Japan." Zhu Youxiao's words made Tokugawa Iemitsu's face pale when he arrived, and the whole person panicked in vain.

"Since there is still an emperor in Japan, then you don't need this king, Liu Ruoyu, take the seal of the king of Japan."

Under the emperor's order, Liu Ruoyu walked down the steps, came to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and said coldly, "Take it." ”

Jiaguang refused, but was snatched by Liu Ruoyu, but he did not return to the Majesty's steps, but came to Shimazu Tadashi and stuffed the seal of the Japanese king in his hands.

"Shimazu Zhongheng, I miss you for your sincerity and loyalty, and today I specially named you the king of Japan, I hope you can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said, setting the name of the Daming and Shimazu clans.

From this day on, the king of Japan fell to Shimazu, and Shimazu Tadatsune, from the first lord of the Satsuma domain in history, became the king of Japan.

"The minister will do his best to serve the Ming Dynasty." Shimazu Tadashi kowtowed.

Seeing the emperor's means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain here, all the ministers were convinced from the bottom of their hearts, so easily let Japan split and recover a little brother.

"The court meeting is over, and the secretaries are disbanded." With Liu Ruoyu's voice. The Zhengdan Dynasty in the fourth year of the Apocalypse came to an end, however, its impact was extremely far-reaching, and it continued to the later generations of the entire Ming Empire, and even the democratic process.
