The Roman Empire had been divided into two centuries earlier, while the Western Roman Empire, under the conquest of the Huns and other peoples, was only a narrow strip of land around Ravenna, and it can be said that its territory was not even one-fiftieth of the heyday of the Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire in Eurasia, is now quite strong, but now it has been attacked by the Persians one after another, and life is also very difficult, and it has long lost the pride and strength of the Roman Empire in the past.

Today's Europe has fallen into complete division, and if you walk a hundred miles there, you will already reach another country, which has fallen into a chaotic and disorderly history.

I have the feeling that this is what the Western Barbarians often said in later generations, the Middle Ages, it seems that it will continue until nearly a thousand years later, and this kind of war and disorder will end, and then there will be that Renaissance.

Of course, these are my, and all I have to care about is that there is no unification in that area, so this son is better than what I should be.

In the blink of an eye, the time is New Year's Day, as the king of a country, it is the busiest during the New Year, such as the big court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, this prince stayed in the main hall, and met with more than fifty envoys from the Western Regions to congratulate, in addition to the envoys of the Central and Southern Lands and Southern Yunnan.

There were also envoys from the plateau, and envoys from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and the Wa Kingdom.

Ben Gongzi sat on the throne, already a little drowsy, when he heard the name of the Wa Kingdom, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but feel refreshed, Wa Guo, this is really a good name. The widows, the short, the short, the frustrated.

This envoy of the Japanese Kingdom really reflects the style of the Japanese Kingdom, with a height of about 1.55 meters at most, wearing a Han costume, respectfully wrinkled into the main hall, and bowed down to me. A mouthful of Chinese is quite round.

After some congratulations, it is natural to present the credentials and contributions, but those contributions are generally not brought to the palace, but directly handed over to the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I sat up, took the national letter handed over by Li Yuanfang, took a deep breath, and then my eyes fell on this short frustration who called himself Hunari. "Is this letter of state real?"

Many of the civil and military ministers in the palace, as well as those foreign envoys who came to congratulate him, couldn't help but be stunned, and their eyes fell on me, and the eyes of many people fell on the envoy of the Japanese state.

Hunari couldn't help but be stunned, and it seemed to come back to his senses for a while. "Your Majesty, this letter of state was given by the head of my family himself, and then it was carried by the ministers himself, and although it has lasted for several months, there will definitely be no fakes.

"Then it proves that this national letter in my hand must have been written by the head of your family himself?" I raised my hand and shook the letter in my hand, the smile on my face still very friendly. However, several ministers who know the temper of this son have begun to be vigilant, and even have begun to be vigilant, whether anything bad will happen.

And Yaoguang, my mother-in-law, the real queen, sat down at my bottom, and looked at me with a hint of doubt, thinking that Yaoguang had already heard the anger brewing behind my words and smile.

"Exactly, the ministers saw the book written by the head of my family with their own eyes at that time." Hu Nali thought that Ben Gongzi was complimenting, and couldn't help but be a little proud. "My son of heaven has long admired the culture of the Central Plains, and has been studying Chinese books since he was a child, and it has been more than 30 years."

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing: "Why do you call yourself a subordinate? ”

Hunari and the more than 200 people in the temple couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, this question has always been a natural one. Let's put it this way, any empire that can become the master of the land of China will be regarded as the suzerainty by the surrounding countries.

This is the origin of the suzerain, and the relationship between the suzerains and vassals is also very simple, that is, the king of the vassal state succeeds to the throne, and must be canonized by the suzerainty to obtain a legal status; Vassals were required to pay regular tribute to their overlords; The suzerainty has the responsibility to help the vassal state maintain the ruling order.

In other words, this time the countries came to pay tribute, hoping to strengthen ties with the Chinese Empire, which was about to take all the land of China, and more importantly, to determine the relationship between the suzerains and vassals. In this way, not only can you trade with Huaxia An, buy those gorgeous silks, or delicate and cold, but as beautiful as jade, or, with the presence of the suzerain, between countries, even if one is incomparably weak, and the other is incomparably strong, but in the sight of the suzerain, after all, they dare not be too wanton, nor dare they be too wild to annex another country.

Even sometimes, when a weak country is invaded, His Majesty the Emperor of the suzerainty country is in a good mood, he can even help his own country and send troops to clean up the evil country next door like a hooligan and a ruffian.

This is a wonderful thing in this way, so all the countries in the world are willing to contribute small profits in exchange for more benefits.

Before, at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Empire, most countries were not optimistic, so they did not come to congratulate, and in just two or three years, the Chinese Empire has quietly occupied more than three-fifths of the territory of the former dynasty, the powerful Sui Dynasty, and moreover, he beat the Tuyuhun who dared to provoke him without opening his eyes.

He even ordained a new Tuyuhun king to confront Tuyuhun. And in the south, at the time of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, it took advantage of the situation and once again established the Cham State, which had been destroyed by the Great Sui Dynasty. But because of the greed for the land of the Central Plains, but also because of the conflict with the land of Jiaozhi.

The result? Today's Cham country has been beaten to the head of dogs, and its territory has been reduced by two-thirds, and now, under the support of the Funan country, it is crumblingly supported.

And these two incidents fell into the eyes of the surrounding countries, and immediately eliminated the doubts and contempt in their eyes, and eliminated the hesitation and indecision. Therefore, in this year's period, they all rushed to congratulate, hoping to become a vassal of the Chinese Empire. I hope that I will not have to bear the eyes that the Chinese Empire may skim over, or even the sword soldiers.

"Because our country is willing to be a vassal of His Majesty, therefore, the minister is called the subordinate, and His Majesty is the superior." Hunari replied respectfully.

"All vassal kingdoms are called subordinate kingdoms. Well, I finally understood this, but I had to be curious. The vassal country respects me Huaxia as the suzerain, so should we be respectful and polite in both words and deeds? I nodded in satisfaction, my gaze still resting gently on the face of Hunari, which seemed so calm and peaceful. The tone was equally serene

"This is natural, our subjects in the lower kingdom all regard Your Majesty as their parents, and they all regard Huaxia as their suzerain, how dare they dare to be snub and humiliated?" At this time, Murong Daxi, who was the king of Tuyuhun, was the first to jump out and bow to the ground in the form of his son's five bodies.

The envoys of many feudal states came out one after another, singing praises in unison, and even some of them were thick-skinned, or the envoys who were not very good at Chinese Yu Crisp were saying those few words of sycophant words over and over again, which were afraid that he had not been learning for a long time, and he always had the urge to raise his big feet and kick the past.

"Then I ask you, if there is a vassal country, arrogant and disrespectful. What should I do about it? "I am a good emperor, a good boss who likes to hand over difficult problems to his subordinates, and a good comrade who likes to brainstorm.

"If there is such a vassal state, the kingdom of God should raise an army to destroy it. In order to show the majesty of the kingdom and the dignity of the suzerain. so that the vassals will not dare to renew such extravagant ambitions. The first to speak aloud was a ...... Hey, it seems to be an envoy of the Silla Kingdom, and what he said was so decisive that it made people shudder.

Murong Daxi, who had been preempted, glared at the Silla envoy dissatisfiedly and strode out. "The subordinate thinks that if the vassal country dares to do this, then the subordinate will lead the commander to raise this army to punish his country and destroy his society for His Majesty."

The reason why the envoys of Silla were so ruthless was because there was no hatred between Silla and the Japanese state, and Baekje and the Japanese were friendly friends, and the two sides often intermarried. And with Silla, he regarded him as an enemy.

There were frequent wars between Baekje and Silla, and wars between Wa and Silla were just as frequent. In addition, there is also a Goguryeo squatting there in the north, and it has also robbed a lot of Silla territory in the past, so that Silla has a hard time.

With enemies on three sides, everyone wants to bite him, and Silla can be said to have no relatives and no way. And now, from my words, I heard some kind of indescribable wind direction of the Silla envoys, how can they not fall into the ground? As for Murong Daxi, this Tuyuhun King, who can only survive and stealthily under the support of my Huaxia Empire, naturally knows very well that he can sell well no matter how he wants, and he must not behave slowly, otherwise, if he displeases His Majesty, the emperor of the Huaxia Empire, he, the Tuyuhun King, is very likely to become the former Tuyuhun King.

Hearing this, some vassal states couldn't help but speculate, while some vassal states that were remote or powerful were disapproving. Naturally, there are those who jump out to agree and praise.

At this time, if Hu Nali still didn't understand the intentions and intentions of his son, then he would have simply gotten into the pigsty and pinched the soil with those fat pigs who were so obese that they only knew how to eat and sleep.

Hunari's face was pale, like an ordinary person who saw boundless fear in the deep darkness. But it's more like seeing a strong man who is so strong that it's outrageous, and he actually raises a butcher's knife towards himself, an unarmed passerby.

Hunari touched the ground with his forehead, and his voice was tinged with fear. "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, your subordinates dare to ask Your Majesty, could it be that in the national letter written by the head of my family, there are words that offend Your Majesty? If so, please put out the wrath of the thunder ......"
