Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 889: Restoration of the Ryukyu Kingdom
"Hey~"

"Snapped!"

Brilliant fireworks bloom under the night sky. The Forbidden City, the Imperial City, and the capital are all exceptionally festive tonight. For the people of this land, this day is what they look forward to most in the year. After a year of hard work and fatigue, isn’t it all for the sake of making their families live a better life?

There are so many expectations for the New Year.

"Another year."

Forbidden City,
Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao was wearing a cloak and standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the fireworks blooming in the night sky with a faint smile on his face. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted to see?
"Brother, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and his party rushed to the Qianqing Palace and saw the emperor standing in front of the palace. They all ran towards Zhu Youxiao quickly, laughing and shouting to him as they ran.

"Be careful!"

Zhu Youxiao, who was smiling, saw Zhu Shugui in the crowd, leaned forward and stretched out his hand, but it was too late.

"what!!"

Zhu Shugui's screams rang out.

Upon seeing this, many eunuchs in front of the hall hurried forward. It would not be a good thing if this gentleman got bumped into something on such a happy day.

"Still as irritable as before."

When Zhu Youjian heard the noise, he stopped and ran towards Zhu Shugui. When he reached out to support Zhu Shugui, he said, "You can fall down even if you walk a few steps."

"My feet slipped!"

Zhu Shugui grimaced in pain, supported by Zhu Youjian, and limped along, "Brother Jian, how do you talk to your elders? Don't want the red seal later!"

Zhu Yujian: "..."

This pair of living treasures.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing. There was obviously a big age gap between the two of them, but they just loved to quarrel.

"Brother, the capital is really lively tonight."

Zhu Youjian came over with a smile and said to his brother, "It has been a long time since the capital has been as lively as it is tonight."

It's really lively.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and thought to himself, I wonder how many fireworks and firecrackers will be consumed tonight. These are all made from the discarded gunpowder from the gunpowder factory under the Ordnance Bureau. They can be sold for a lot of money.

"I really want to visit the night market in Beijing."

Zhu Youjian, who was walking with Zhu Shugui, grinned and said, "When the first day of the lunar year comes, your majesty will issue an edict to allow the capital to be exempt from curfew for seven consecutive days. When I was in Korea, I was thinking about this."

"how?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, "You don't even want to eat at the family dinner, and you want to run out of the palace and go to the wild?"

"Yes."

Zhu Shugui echoed at this moment: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Jian Ge'er has been in Korea for too long, and his heart has become wild."

"Hey, can't you just wish me well?"

Zhu Youjian glared and said, "What do you mean my heart has also gone wild?"

"Ha ha!!"

Laughter rang out in front of the Qianqing Palace. When the royal guards on duty and the eunuchs in front of the palace saw this scene, many of them also started laughing.

The Forbidden City has seldom been as joyful as it is tonight.

"Your Majesty, the family dinner is ready."

At this time, Empress Zhang Yan, who was holding Zhu Ciran, walked out of the palace with a smile and said to Zhu Youxiao, "When are you going to hold the banquet?"

"Greetings to the Empress!" "Greetings to the Empress!"

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and others, who were originally laughing, now bowed to Zhang Yan respectfully.

"Well, since we are all gathered together tonight, let's not be so strict about the rules."

Zhang Yan held Zhu Ciran in her arms, walked to Zhu Youxiao's side, and said to everyone in front of her with a smile.

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and picked up Zhu Ciran, glanced at Zhu Youjian and the others and said, "Let's go, have dinner, and have a few drinks with me tonight."

"Here!"

"okay!"

"Your Majesty, can I drink too?"

Zhu Youxiao's words aroused a lot of echoes. The most excited person was none other than Zhu Shugui. He had long wanted to taste what the wine tasted like. Previously, he saw Zhu Youjian and the others grinning but saying that the wine was good. This made Zhu Shugui very curious, but he was too young to drink.

"Report!!!"

Just as Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian, Zhu Shugui and their party were escorting Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan and their couple towards the hall, a voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone.

Zhu Youxiao stopped, holding Zhu Ciran in his arms, frowned and turned around, and saw Wang Tijian, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, running towards the Qianqing Palace with a memorial held high in his hand.

"Your Majesty, great joy!!"

When Wang Tiqian's voice sounded, Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and others who were standing on both sides of the station looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

What kind of happy event is this?

Who chose the New Year's Day specifically?
"The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, the commander of the Eastern Police, has been ordered to guard the Eastern Frontier. Wei Zhongxian has come to report this!"

As everyone was puzzled, Wang Tiqian ran to the emperor, held his breath, and knelt on the ground, unable to hide his excitement: "Ryukyu, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, with the help of my Ming army, has driven out the Japanese pirates who stole Ryukyu..."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately became interested. He handed Zhu Ciran in his arms to Zhang Yan, and then walked towards Wang Tiquan.

"Ryukyu has been restored?"

"When did Wei Zhongxian send the troops?"

"I don't know."

“But this is really a happy event!”

"Yes, I remember that the vassal state of Ryukyu was invaded by the Satsuma Domain in the 37th year of the Wanli reign. Now that it has been restored, isn't this a happy event?"

Amid the noise, Zhu Youxiao read over the memorials he was holding, with a smile on his face. This Wei Zhongxian really could come up with some new tricks.

The naval forces stationed in Dongfan launched an offensive against the Ryukyu waters a long time ago, and Zhu Youxiao was aware of it.

However, so many things happened later that Zhu Youxiao no longer paid attention to this matter. It is true that the maritime location of the Ryukyu Islands is very special, but compared with the Meiji period, it is still a little bit inferior.

"Tell the officers to prepare."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts and said, "The envoys from the vassal state of Ryukyu have arrived in Tianjin. Send someone to bring them to Beijing first."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Tiqian immediately bowed and worshiped.

"Congratulations, my brother! Congratulations, my brother!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and others smiled and bowed to Zhu Youxiao. The Japanese pirates who had occupied Ryukyu could be dispersed by the Ming army, allowing the Ryukyu royal family to get rid of puppet rule. This was indeed a good thing for the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

After all, too many things had happened in the central and local areas of the Ming Dynasty before this. Now, Ryukyu, thousands of miles away, has sent back news that the Ming army has defeated the Japanese pirates and freed the Ryukyu royal family from puppets. What does this mean?
The so-called Japanese pirates who invaded Zhejiang would never be a match for the Ming Dynasty. As for the disturbances and turmoil in the southeast, the imperial court will surely be able to resolve them!
