Compared with the government reports of later generations, the edict read by Huang Liji was still very rough, but this way of disclosing all the major events of the imperial court to the ministers during the year was quickly recognized by the ministers.

Moreover, this edict will also be forwarded to various states and counties in the form of a newspaper, so that all officials in the Ming Dynasty can see it.

Because the cabinet report in the first year of Chongzhen was still very rough, and some information about the income and expenditure of taxes, the capture of the army, etc., were not made public because they were secret, so Huang Liji finished reading it out in about two quarters of an hour.

Generally speaking, the situation in the first year of Chongzhen was quite stable, the foreign and internal wars were victorious, the popular uprising had not yet become a climate, and under the leadership of Zhu Youzhen, the famine in various places also received a certain amount of relief.

Although Daming is still on the verge of collapse, it is relatively better than the situation in the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

However, the ministers outside the palace have not yet come to their senses for the temporary addition of the Son of Heaven, and after Jin Wuwei passed the last line of the edict to the ears of the courtiers in the corner, the ministers have not yet reacted.

The ministers were a little stunned, and they didn't know how to express their opinions about the temporary court meeting.

However, this is also difficult for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, for any reaction of the ministers, they have made a plan in advance, and soon Shaole rose again, and now the ministers understood, and began to bow down and praise the Son of Heaven in the midst of the ceremony.

Because of the large number of people, it took three to five minutes just to get up after all the kneeling and prostration.

After everyone stood still, Zhu Youzhen continued his traditional session and said auspicious words.

However, Zhu Youzhen did not follow the previous script, although he said a lot of encouraging ministers, but the focus was still on the comments on Huang Liji's edict.

In view of the work of Chongzhen in the first year, Zhu Youzhen picked up the main major events and evaluated.

He praised the civil and military generals who participated in the internal and external wars, pulled out the corpses of the corrupt officials who caused the popular uprising, and expressed his empathy for the people affected by the disaster in various places, and said that the imperial court would not give up any of the victims.

Finally, he made an enthusiastic speech, calling on the officials of the world to love the people like sons, and the people of the Ming Dynasty to work together, and the days will definitely get better and better.

After Zhu You's reprimand, everyone knew what to do, and they didn't wait for Shao Le from the Ministry of Rites, they all prostrated on the ground and bowed three times and nine times.

Then there was the familiar part of the officials to receive the envoys of the vassal kingdoms to meet the congratulatory tables.

The envoys of more than a dozen vassal states and vassal kings, such as Joseon, Wa, Ryukyu, Annam, Chenla, Champong, and Huduntu, stepped forward to congratulate one by one, and then after a rainbow fart was patted, they waited for the reward of the great emperor.

Zhu Youzhen didn't let them wait for a long time, and after they finished patting their ass, he ordered the eunuch to send a return gift.

However, in the past, it was a gift list, but this time it is a real thing.

But after seeing the real thing, most of the envoys' faces turned green in an instant, but they didn't dare to attack because of their face, so they had to bow back and thank them.

In the past, the envoys of the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting were interviewed by the envoys, and it was the day of the harvest of the envoys of various countries, although it was not as much as the reward after the tribute, but it was okay, and after going back, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would fight with each other, and the gift list could be doubled secretly.

Since the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, in addition to the smuggling trade on the southeast coast, the only way for the surrounding countries of the Ming Dynasty to obtain the goods of the Ming Dynasty was the tributary system.

In order to get more goods from the Ming Dynasty, some vassal states didn't even want faces, and even paid tribute more than a dozen times a year, such as the Wa Kingdom and Joseon.

Of course, not all of them were real envoys, and there were countless cases of merchants of the vassal kingdom forging state letters and pretending to be envoys.

But the Ming Dynasty from the emperor to the ministers, all of them are good at this, regardless of whether it is true or fake, people come to give gifts, or very happy, of course, the Ming Dynasty is not all wronged, for the kind of envoys who come with a few ginseng coral knives, they will also get some silk porcelain to send away.

However, for the fake envoys, although there are not many goods in return, they can still make these merchants who pretend to be envoys make a lot of money.

However, judging from the situation of today's court meeting, it seems that the day when you want to take a few more ginseng, break coral, and then say a few auspicious words to receive a rich reward does not seem to exist.

And in the face of the return gift of the Ming Dynasty, the envoys could not say anything, engraved with the blue and white porcelain engraved by Zhu Youzhen to give the words of the emperor of the vassal country, and the exquisite embroidery embroidered with the commemorative words of the second year of the Great Dynasty Meeting of Chongzhen, although these can not be taken out and sold, but because of the endorsement of the Ming Emperor, who said that it is not worth a thousand gold.

But although it was worth a thousand gold, it could only be brought back to the vassal kings of their country, and the envoys and the merchant groups behind them had no way to profit from it.

However, Zhu Youzhen did not completely cut off their financial routes, and at the end of the envoys' meeting, Zhu Youzhen said that all vassal states were welcome to come to Tianjin to carry out trade.

And as long as it is legal trade and pays taxes according to regulations, Daming will have no restrictions on trade volume.

Although the envoys also knew that it seemed that a few years ago, a guard station in the east of Jingshi had opened the sea, but because of identity restrictions, no one went there to check on the spot.

Today, when I heard that the Great Tomorrow confirmed the news, all of my eyes glowed green, especially the envoys of the DPRK and the Japanese State, and their excitement was overflowing.

Compared with Annam and Champa and other places, Tianjin Wei's Shibosi is the closest to Korea and the Wa Kingdom, although the current North Korea has submitted to the Jurchens, but for its trade with the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji is still happy to see.

After all, no matter how many good things North Korea gets from Daming, it will eventually go into the pockets of the upper echelons of the Jin State.

Seeing that the envoys retreated satisfied, Huang Liji and the other elders finally breathed a sigh of relief, if any of the envoys whose heads were kicked by a donkey made any outrageous moves because the reward was too small, then Da Ming would really be embarrassed and thrown to the country of Clawwa.

At this time, seeing that although the envoys also disliked the lack of rewards, but fortunately, there was still the open trade of Tianjin City, and they were all satisfied, and the elders of the pavilion admired the Son of Heaven even more and saw through the essence of the surrounding small countries and vassals of the Ming Dynasty at a glance.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, the military power was more victorious, and the small vassal countries really worshiped the Ming Dynasty, but with the weakening of the Ming Dynasty and the lack of military strength, the attitude of the vassal states naturally changed.

But the reason why he still relies on the Ming Dynasty and pays tribute on time is just for the huge benefits brought by the tributary system.

Naturally, the courtiers with insight can see this clearly, but in order to maintain the dignity of a big country, they can only let these small countries take advantage of it again and again.

At this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven personally unveiled the fig leaf of the tributary system, except for some old stubborn people who did not eat the ancients, most of the courtiers were still happy to see it.
