What? I Just Ascended the Throne, and Every Nation Is Already Paying Tribute

In the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun ascends the throne at the age of ten.

The empress dowager uses the emperor's youth as an excuse to seize control of the government.

It is also the end of the year, when tributary envoys from all nations come to pay their respects.

Dark currents swirl through the court, and everyone has their own agenda.

Fortunately, the System arrives. Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot, Yu Huatian of the Western Depot, and the Five Commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard all serve the emperor.

And the Way of the Emperor ultimately leads to eternal life.

One year later.

The nations come to court once more.
