Even the size of the island is not as large as Fusang Island.

Compared with the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty today, it can be said to be insignificant.

But mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

For Li Xiu, who wanted to dominate the world, Nanyang was also part of the Tang Dynasty's strategy.

After a group of Nanyang kings entered the hall, they all knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "See His Majesty the Emperor of Tang!"

Kneeling on the ground, all the Nanyang kings trembled.

This time, many of them did not come voluntarily.

However, after seeing Qi Jiguang's navy army, they had to come.

Moreover, this time they came to pay respects to the Emperor Datang, the lord of the celestial dynasty, they had to find ways to please the Emperor Datang.

Otherwise, it would be a matter of Li Xiu's words to destroy their country.

Therefore, this time they came here and prepared their country's treasures, spices, ivory, gems, beauties... all kinds of rare treasures, and dedicated them to Li Xiu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

He tried his best to please Li Xiu.

at the same time.

In Li Xiu's hand, he also got the list of tributes from various countries in Southeast Asia.

After just a glance, Li Xiu looked at the Nanyang kings with a smile and said, "You kings are too polite."

"It's fine when people come, why bring so many gifts?"

Hear this.

All the Nanyang kings couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Did they bring it voluntarily?

If it weren't for Qi Jiguang holding a big knife and beating them around, reminding them to pay more tribute.

Can they almost empty out their own country to pay tribute to Datang?

"I'm waiting for a small country in a foreign country, and I came here to meet His Majesty, how can I be rude?"

Among all the Nanyang kings, King Sulu was the smartest. He came out first, saluted Li Xiu respectfully, and said, "Besides, this king also specially selected ten stunning beauties from our Sulu Kingdom to present to Li Xiu." Your Majesty, I hope to satisfy His Majesty."

Say it.

The Sulu king suddenly clapped his hands.

In the next second, ten beauties in exotic costumes walked into the Golden Luan Hall.

These beauties, with wheat-colored skin and a bit of mixed blood, are obviously different from the Central Plains women.

Therefore, when the officials of the Tang Dynasty saw the beauty presented by King Sulu, they couldn't help laughing.

Can this kind of beauty be called a beauty?

Not to mention the strange clothes, the appearance is a bit weird, and more importantly, the skin is darker than that of the women in the Tang Dynasty.

These Sulu beauties.

Even courtiers like them look down on them.

How could they, Your Majesty, like it?

but.

When their eyes turned to His Majesty.

But he found that Li Xiu was looking at the ten beauties from the Sulu country with great interest.

This stunned many Datang officials.

Your Majesty, do you still like this?

King Sulu secretly observed Li Xiu's expression, and he was secretly delighted when he saw Li Xiu's expression.

It seems that the beauties of their Sulu Kingdom are still very popular with the Tang Emperor!

However, just when King Sulu was delighted.

Li Xiu's cold voice suddenly came over.

"King Sulu, do you want to corrupt me by dedicating so many beauties to me?"

When King Sulu heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He looked up in astonishment, but saw Li Xiuzheng looking at him seriously, "Do you want me to indulge in women and ignore state affairs? To weaken my Tang Dynasty's national power?"

"Injustice!"

King Su Lu was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a look of panic, "Xiao Wang definitely didn't mean that!"

"There is no best."

Only then did Li Xiu nodded, "However, it's useless even if you offer so many beauties. I've never been close to women. How could I be fascinated by a few beauties from your Sulu country?"

however.

When Li Xiu said this.

The faces of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty became strange.

Your Majesty is not close to women?

If they hadn't followed His Majesty for so many years, they would have believed it!

But King Sulu, who didn't know the truth, really thought that Li Xiu didn't like beautiful women, so he slapped his horse's ass on the horse's leg, and immediately said: "Xiao Wang really doesn't know that His Majesty doesn't like beautiful women. Xiao Wang This will bring the beauty back!"

"Just take it back."

Li Xiu waved his hands, and said with a calm expression, "King Su Lu, you have traveled far and wide, and it is not easy to bring them here."

"Since it's your kind intention, how can I not give you face?"

"Let them enter the harem and serve my concubines."

Chapter 177

Li Xiu's operation.

King Su Lu was directly confused.

It took him a while before he realized it.

Looking at Li Xiu's eyes, he was full of admiration.

This hand is slippery!

Not only did he accept ten beauties from their Sulu country, but he also created an image of an unfeminine Mingjun for himself.

high!

It's really high!

"King Sulu, I am very relieved that you have paid tribute to the court this time."

At this time, Li Xiu also looked at King Su Lu with a smile, and said, "I plan to award you the title of County King as a compliment."

When King Sulu heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, "Xiao Wang, thank you Your Majesty!"

These Nanyang princesses, they bought so many rare treasures, and came all the way to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, isn't it just to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty canonize themselves?

With the canonization of the Tang Emperor and the approval of the Tang Dynasty, they can keep their country.

All of a sudden, the kings of other Nanyang countries in the hall cast envious eyes on King Sulu.

They immediately scrambled forward and spoke to Li Xiu who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.

They can see it.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that he was not close to women.

But the body is honest.

Just because King Sulu presented ten Sulu beauties, he was named a county king.

The county king of the Tang Dynasty!

That's their dream job!

Moreover, once they become the county kings of the Tang Dynasty, they are no longer a country of Huawai.

It is a country of civilization under the Tang civilization system!

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the King of Siam also brought ten beauties from his own country, please accept them with a smile."

"There are also beauties from the kingdom of Java."

"And my beauty from Lin Yiguo."

"..."

The kings of various countries scrambled to present their beauties one after another.

For the monarchs of the 36 countries in Nanyang, Li Xiu naturally rewarded them one by one.

Larger countries are crowned as county kings, and small countries are almost as good as county marquises.

But for the king of a small country.

A county lord is also quite respectable.

Just when the monarchs of Nanyang countries were full of joy.

Li Xiu poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"You kings, since you have become my courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, from now on, you must abide by my Tang government's orders."

"From now on, the candidates for the prime ministers of all countries will be appointed by our Tang Dynasty, so that we can receive the government orders of the Tang Dynasty and implement the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as Li Xiu said this.

The faces of all the Nanyang kings changed.

They thought that as long as they declared their surrender to the Tang Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the Great Tang Emperor, they would be able to escape the catastrophe.

In the past, the dynasties of the Central Plains were only subject to the nominal surrender of the surrounding Siyi.

But he didn't expect that Datang would directly appoint a prime minister to control the internal affairs of their small countries?

This Great Tang Emperor is different from the previous Central Plains Emperors!

He is pragmatic and not unrealistic!

"Why, you don't want to?"

The corners of Li Xiu's mouth slowly curled up, "If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can choose to withdraw from the Tang Dynasty's tributary system."

Hearing this, the expressions of the monarchs of various countries could not help but change.

Won't force it?

I believe you asshole!

I'm afraid as long as they dare to say no, they will not be able to walk out of this golden palace alive!

For the Tang Empire, replacing the king of a small country is not a snap of the fingers?

"The minister is willing to obey His Majesty's arrangement!"

All the Nanyang monarchs were very knowledgeable.

Only then did Li Xiu nodded in satisfaction, and immediately looked to the side, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

"The minister is here."

The Minister of Rites hurried out.

"You take the kings of the Nanyang countries around the city of Chang'an, and get a taste of the customs of my Great Tang."

Li Xiu said calmly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands.
