Chapter 468: The Blackest Emperor in History
The smile on the corner of Li Longxuan's mouth became even more vigorous, as if he was a little evil. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"My dear, do you think these guys are too smart? When we were weak, they always wanted to bite a piece of meat off of us, but now we are strong, and one by one they pounce on us like vicious dogs that have seen meat, but this time it is gentler. Li Longxuan smiled faintly and said, "Do you know? I despise those ancient emperors the most, obviously they have a strong military force, and they actually let these small countries by their side, hey, on the side of the couch, how can they allow others to snore?"
"And what does Your Majesty mean?" asked Alice.
"Come on, let them all come, but from now on, I think this rule has to be changed. The smile on Li Longxuan's face became even stronger.
"I welcome them to come to my Holy Empire, but they must understand that from now on, they must let them pay for their own expenses in our country! Our Holy Empire can no longer be fools, you must know that our Holy Empire is also quite poor. β
"Moreover, from now on, since these people are called ministers, then they must have the appearance of courtiers, and from now on, if the decree of my holy empire is violated, then their kingdom will be destroyed and their clan will be destroyed! Moreover, since they are courtiers, then they must pay tribute, and the things to be paid tribute must be valuable, quite valuable, if there are no valuable things to pay tribute, they can choose to pay tribute to the territory, resources, and mineral development rights, which we have done quite well in the orc empire. β
"Another point, that is, after they pay tribute, we do not reward or return gifts, since they are willing to pay tribute, why should we give them rewards and gifts in return? Even if they are, we can't reward too much, we can reward them with 1/100000 of what they pay tribute......
Li Longxuan gushed endlessly, Alice listened, it was definitely a secret tongue, where is this emperor of an empire? This is simply an imperial bandit!
No, even if it's a bandit, it's not so calculating, right? It seems that those royal families around are really going to be in bad luck, but this palace likes it.
Alice looked at the talking man with a smile, and suddenly felt that the whole person's heart was slowly full of happiness.
"My dear, I know that what I am doing now is walking on the cliff, and if I am not careful, I will enter a situation from which I will never recover, if one day it is really at the end of the mountain, will you always be with me?" Li Longxuan held Alice's hand and asked deeply.
"My dear, when I was very young, I knew that one day you would be my man, and at that time I swore that I would accompany you in this life, whether it was life or death, whether rich or poor, and if you did not abandon me, I would live and die together. β
"My dear. β
"My dear. β
β......β
Seeing that the two were about to make love, the attendants around them hurriedly and quietly walked outside, and then closed the door.
And at this time, among the several counties on the frontier of the empire, a large group of people were full of excitement in their hearts, as if they were waiting for the news from the central government of the empire to come, especially after seeing the wealth of the Holy Empire, many envoys' eyes were full of greed. Many people think that if they hand in the credentials this time, they will receive a lot of rewards.
If you are a minister, I won't get you? What are you kidding? These guys are really surprised that Li Longxuan is an old antique emperor.
Annan also used to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, but what was the result? Not only did he rebel from time to time, but he also annexed the territory of the Ming Dynasty? Korea was also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty before, what was the result? also secretly devoured the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Jianzhou Jurchen, who was originally subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, and in the end, it was these barbarians who almost destroyed the Chinese civilization, not to mention the white-eyed wolf Southeast Asian dwarf black race Dongying Wa Kingdom, the emperor of this country wanted the canonization of the central government of China in ancient times, which was justified, but later almost wiped out the country where everyone in China was killed.
Historically, China has a lot of vassal countries, as the suzerain, every year the emperor has to summon the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of various countries will give some ordinary things of their own country to the emperor, which is called tribute in history, and then the emperor receives the tribute and then has to return the gift, that is, the legendary reward, others give you a hundred yuan of things, you have to reward the other party at least hundreds of thousands of yuan of things, so as to be able to show the prestige of the great power and the wealth of the great country, so these vassal countries are quite fond of the court, every time they can make a profit, who doesn't like itοΌ
Especially in ancient Annam, Korea liked tribute the most, especially in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea paid tribute almost every year, the hardcore brother of the Ming Empire, because every time you can get a large amount of money, even if the people of the Ming Dynasty starved to death, the Korean nobles could also eat the food grown by the Ming people, wear the clothes woven by the Ming people, and live a rich life. And from the beginning of entering the territory of the suzerain, the money used to eat, and the money spent on playing are all from the suzerain, which is simply a woman who takes the master's money and eats the master's food and plays with the master's family, who doesn't like this kind of good thing?
However, the suzerainty spends so much money to support the nobles of these vassal states, and the only right to get is canonization and the honor of a suzerain, and the king of the vassal state must be canonized by the suzerain, that is, the king of the vassal state is equivalent to the prince of the suzerain.
Obviously, regardless of the consent of your suzerain, Lao Tzu has military power, and Lao Tzu will be able to claim the title of king and hegemony in his own country. I don't know if it's going to the frontier of the suzerain's country to fight tooth sacrifices and sweep the autumn wind, this kind of thing often happened in ancient times.
Therefore, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, when your country is strong, the small countries around you will come to hug your thighs and come to you for protection, but when you are weak, these countries will pounce on you like hungry wolves and bite you hard.
The history lessons of the 5. Chaos in China and Japan's invasion of China are vividly in my mind.
So, for Li Longxuan, either assimilate you or destroy you! The best way is to destroy you and make your descendants one of the Holy Empires.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something that Li Longxuan can't do alone, it must be worked hard from generation to generation, and one day the Holy Empire will become the only empire in this world.
The road is long, I will go up and down and seek, there is a long way to go!
