A few days later, the envoys from various countries in the Western Regions arrived one after another.

The two countries of Cheshi, Yanqi, the dangerous country, the migrant country, the last country, the Kucha, and the vital country. Anyone who still exists, has some national strength, and wants to make some money and spend money has come.

The news that the Central Plains Empire returned to the Western Regions has swept across the Western Regions.

Any countries in the Western Regions who feel that they can keep up with the pace and are willing to become vassal states will all send envoys to advance towards Luoyang as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also some countries with more complex feelings towards the Han Empire, or the distance is relatively far, so they have never had much contact with the Han Empire.

But everyone has gone, and they want to join in the fun and get involved in the identity of a vassal state. Anyway, there will definitely be benefits.

This time I went to Luoyang, it was also an inspection to see if the new owner of the Central Plains Empire was much different from the previous Han emperors, whether there was anything worse than what was not good enough.

If all aspects are similar and can be passed appropriately, then it is nothing wrong to be a vassal state. After all, no one wants to provoke such a giant.

And more importantly, many Western Region countries have already gone. If the people behind do not keep up, they will unite and exclude these vassal states, and they will have no room for reason if they are bullied.

The Wei Empire must be on the side of the vassal states and it is impossible for them to speak for countries that are not vassal states. Therefore, those who do not join the vassal state system will definitely be bullied. When they think of this, they must go.

Anyway, there is no harm.

And I heard that even Da Kunmi from Wusun Kingdom sent people to Luoyang to worship, Xiao Kunmi followed closely after being stimulated. If he didn't follow the steps of the masses and hug him, he would be bullied to death in the future.

With the Western Region Protectorate of the Wei Empire, they had at least a guarantee. They were bullied and gave some gifts to others. If they stood up and said something, no one would dare to continue using force.

Therefore, the weaker the national strength, the smaller the country, the more threatening it is, the more concerned about this matter.

When other countries that are still well-behaved have seen so many countries go there, it will probably be troublesome if they don’t go there, so they keep up with it, which has brought about a storm.

From small tribes with only more than 1,000 citizens to small "big powers" with more than 100,000 troops of 10,000 or 20,000 troops, there are no one who doesn't go to Luoyang to join in the fun.

The few sent dozens of envoys, and the many sent hundreds of people, bringing gifts for tribute, which was quite large.

Therefore, Luoyang also welcomed the arrival of batches of friends from vassal states.

The people of Luoyang are very interested in this. Whenever envoys from Western Regions come to Luoyang, they will stop and watch these foreigners with different appearances and clothes.

If you are an old Guanzhong person, you should be familiar with these visitors from the Western Regions and still have an impression of them.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of Han, even Romans came to Luoyang, so the official economic exchanges between the Western Regions and the Han government were relatively close at that time.

However, after the Dong Zhuo chaos, the population in Guanzhong was completely lost. Now the people in Guanzhong migrated from relatively abundant areas such as Guandong and Jizhou before and after Guo Peng ascended the throne. Many of the current residents of Luoyang even migrated from the coastal areas of Qingzhou.

As you can imagine, they naturally had never seen these foreigners, and they had no impression of them, so they must be very curious.

It was obviously the first time these envoys saw such a majestic city and so many people. They looked at them curiously. Except for a few lively personalities, most of the envoys became cautious and worried that the posture of walking would not be teased.

Fortunately, they were quickly taken to Lifanyuan, moved into their respective museum areas, and settled down.

After settling down, they did not receive the reception from Emperor Wei immediately as they imagined.

Instead, he followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to learn the etiquette of meeting the emperor, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Justice to learn the laws that he needed to abide by during his residence in Luoyang.

What etiquette should be used when meeting the emperor, what kind of clothes should be worn, what kind of path should be taken, what posture should be used to walk, what posture should be used to kneel down and what words should be shouted, and then respect the Chinese emperor, otherwise it would be a usurpation.

During their life in Luoyang, what laws should be followed, what things can be done, what things cannot be done, where you can go, where you cannot go, what places you cannot go, and other ways of punishment after violating the rules.

One by one, one by one, full of the words "rules", which made them feel that the country of the Celestial Empire is really worthy of being the country of the Celestial Empire. There are so many rules that if you violate them slightly, you will be punished. It is really amazing.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice warned them that they could go shopping in Luoyang's market, but they had to go on time, return on time, and pay. If they did not comply with the rules, they were punished by the market's supervisors, there was nothing to say, and it would definitely be miserable.

So for more than a month, they were learning etiquette, learning law, adjusting their appearance, standardizing their clothes, and learning to sit according to the rules and stand according to the rules.

Anyway, they have been very troubled and they don’t even have time to leave Lifanyuan to go out for fun.

On December 17, the third year of Yande, when the wind was cold and approaching the end of the year, Guo Peng announced that he would receive envoys from the 18 Western Regions in Fengtian Hall.

The head and deputy envoys of the Eighteen Kingdoms were dressed in a human-like manner, with a cautious and solemn appearance. Under the gaze of the officials of the Wei Empire, they stepped forward to pay homage to the Emperor Wei, Guo Peng, who was sitting upright.

Speaking of which, when Guo Peng appeared, it was really pomp.

First, he beat the drum and then the horn. The deep and solemn horn sounded. In conjunction with the sometimes short and sometimes long drum sound, Guo Peng appeared on stage with the help of the eunuchs.

Mr. Guo was wearing a yellow ochre crown dress, with slow and firm steps, a solemn and solemn expression, and slowly walked to the high platform. He stood before the emperor's desk, spread his hands, bent his knees forward, and sat on the cushion. He suddenly withdrew his hands and sat upright.

The ministers walked from both sides to the main hall passage, and expressed their respect and loyalty to the emperor according to their identities.

Long live my emperor.

Then the ministers returned to their seats, bent their knees forward in the emperor's manner, sat upright without looking sideways.

Then, Minister of Foreign Affairs Xinpi pretended to come forward and said that he had made a remark, saying that the 18 countries in the Western Regions came to seek his visit to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to meet them for their long journey to Luoyang, which fully fulfilled their yearning and did not make the vassal states panic.

Mr. Guo also pretended to nodded and ordered them to be allowed to meet.

I don’t know if there are too many powerful figures sitting upright in the court. The momentum of being in a high position for a long time has filled the entire Fengtian Palace with pressure.

When the envoy of Shanshan, who was ranked first to receive the summons, entered the Fengtian Hall, he suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe.

Every time I take a step forward, I can feel the disdainful eyes of the senior officials of the Wei Empire on both sides. The pressure brought by the official spirit that is irresistible to these powerful and powerful countries in small countries.

Every step is difficult, and the brisk steps that were originally light now always feel as heavy as lead.

However, the long-term training allowed him to follow the etiquette and complete the process of the audience. He used more skillful Chinese to convey the request of the King of Shanshan to become a vassal state of the Wei Empire. He also presented a list of gifts he brought, and asked the deputy envoy to read the contents on the list aside.

On the surface, the tribute system has never made money, or even lost money.

Because the gifts that these small countries can bring are really nothing.

Some camels, some horses, some gold, silver and treasures, some local specialties, and their pious souls.

The quantity is small and the price is not expensive, although it may be very good for them.
