After a lot of trouble, it was not until noon that the lengthy enthronement ceremony finally came to an end.
This is because Li Hezhu is heavy, so Ren Ning specifically requested that the process be as short as possible, otherwise it would take much longer.
Returning to the Golden Palace, Ren Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Little Plum who was following him step by step.
"Is there anything else I need to do today?"
If not, he would go and spend family time with his wife and son.
whee.
Little Plum smiled brightly.
After these days of running in, he finally understood the habits of his master, Ren Ning, and no longer was as careful about every word he said as before.
"Your Majesty, today is a happy day for you to rule the world. In the afternoon, some ministers may wish to enter the palace to express their congratulations to Your Majesty and the Queen..."
As for the ministers such as Guanyi and Qian Liang, they were even busier than Ren Ning's family on this day. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find time to present the memorial.
Ren Ning understood.
He had met the real important civil and military officials of the imperial court during the ceremony.
Those who can enter the palace now are those who are not of sufficient rank to participate in the enthronement ceremony, and are afraid that the emperor will forget their family.
He glared at Xiao Lizi.
“From now on, let’s talk about state affairs and business matters first, and other trivial matters will come later.”
"This slave is confused." Xiao Lizi quickly nodded and wrote it down.
"As for those ministers," Ren Ning pondered for a while and was not ready to refuse, "arrange a time before dinner so that the queen and I can meet with them."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Lizi nodded repeatedly.
In fact, he had already remembered what Ren Ning wanted to do, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is indeed one more serious matter. According to tradition, the envoys from various countries in Honglu Temple will submit their credentials today."
Of course, as the sovereign of the suzerain country, it is up to Ren Ning to decide whether to see these foreign envoys or not.
————
Honglu Temple.
Yunchui is a big country, and Honglu Temple is full of people coming and going most of the time.
It was even more crowded at this time, and almost every house as far as the eye could see was full of people.
In addition to the envoys sent by various countries and their families, among these people there are also a large number of overseas students and former businessmen.
There were so many people with different expressions, some were serious and silent, but there were also some who were smiling and looking relaxed.
For example, Shangshou District.
The caravan leaders huddled together in small groups and looked at the newspapers in their hands, all of them beaming with joy.
"Open the four-border border, treat merchants and caravans from all countries and counties equally, and crack down on all kinds of unreasonable detention of caravans or seizure of goods."
"Strongly encourage all counties within the territory to develop commerce and significantly reduce taxes on merchants and caravans entering and exiting various border ports and city gates."
…
"It's really great."
For a time, Yun Chui's words in various weird accents started to sound.
"It will be easier for us to enter and exit Yunchui in the future."
"That's right. The goods here are all kinds of dazzling, unlike our Wanxiang, where you can get whatever you want. As long as you transport the goods that are in short supply back, you won't have to worry about making money."
Having said this, the business leader sighed.
"It's a pity that when we went north, Emperor Taixi had not yet ascended the throne, so he did not dare to bring too much money."
Huh.
"Brother, it turns out you are also from Wanxiang."
Someone nearby came over in surprise.
"It's a coincidence. I still have some money on hand, and you have more caravans. How about we join together and go south together when we return home? If we have money, let's make it together."
"Okay."
Amidst the joy, some people couldn't help but express their anger.
"Everyone, this new majesty, Yun Chui, was born in the battlefield. He is decisive in killing and has outstanding military achievements. I have no doubt that his new policy can be implemented."
Having said this, he looked up at the huge Yunzui map on the wall.
"It's just that the post road leading to the border is a bit difficult..."
Ha ha.
"What are you afraid of?" Everyone laughed, "As long as you can make money."
They didn't care at all.
If the road is difficult, walk slowly. As long as you are not stuck by any city or border on the road, you will reach your destination sooner or later.
Anyway, the ones who are tired are the oxen and horses in the convoy and the slaves driving the cart, it has nothing to do with them.
"Don't worry," someone shook the newspaper in his hand, "didn't the newspaper say that Yunchui will vigorously expand the post roads leading to various border passes in the next few years? From now on, everyone will go south, north, or east to west.
, the road will be easy to walk.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of silence in the hall.
The reason why they live in Honglu Temple is precisely because they are not Yun Chui's caravan.
The post road leading to the border has become smooth, which is a good thing for merchants, but on the other hand, for their own country, it means that if anything happens, Yun Chui's army can come to the city at any time.
"None of them."
Soon someone waved his hand calmly.
"The dispute between the two countries is a matter for the imperial court. We small businessmen and common people can just do our best to support our families. We don't have to worry about the rest."
Many people nodded in agreement, "That's right."
well.
Some people are worried.
"The new Majesty Yun Chui is not easy to mess with. With his experience and ability, if Yun Chui is provoked, he will kill you and destroy the country in a minute. I hope our domestic courtiers can keep their eyes open and recognize the situation clearly, and don't seek death...
…”
Hum hum.
Some people sneered inwardly.
I hope those stupid pigs in China will anger Yun Chui and seek death.
In this way, you might be able to become a Yunchui person, so that the barriers here will not be drastically reduced, and you will be tricked when you go back.
Of course you can't say this.
Amidst the commotion, a few people remained silent, but the joy on their faces was so intense that it almost overflowed.
It was Youmon and Arun who came from Kairon.
Although the agreement for the Kailun tribe to join the Yunchui territory has been signed, due to some reasons, it has not been made public yet.
Therefore, Youmeng and others still need to live in Honglu Temple, but they have been allowed to participate in Ren Ning's enthronement ceremony.
Of course the location is not conspicuous.
However, Allen and the others didn't care. Instead, they were so happy that they almost smiled.
At the enthronement ceremony that just passed, they saw their own girl wearing the queen's crown with their own eyes, and Ren Ning even directly named their child Ren Zhan the crown prince.
In a word, Ren Ning deserves their trust.
"Go ahead," Youmeng lowered his voice, "Today is our happy day in Kailun. Everyone in the caravan will receive an extra month's wages as a reward."
"Okay." The guard next to him perked up and agreed happily.
"Also, the camel caravan is about to leave for the west. Hurry up and ask the captains to check whether the goods on the list are ready. If you are missing anything, hurry up and purchase it. If you really can't purchase it, make a list and report it."
"Understood." After saying that, the little guard jumped up and ran away.
Tsk tsk.
Matthew next to him saw all this and was even more excited as he rubbed his hands together.
Compared with Allen and Youmeng who became monks and led caravans halfway, he is the one who truly focuses on running caravans as his lifelong goal.
Therefore, he knew a little bit about the history, background and even taboos of various countries on the trade route.
For example, there is an unknown rule in Yunchui that foreign women are not allowed to be queens.
What's more, Yingpan is just the daughter of a small and medium-sized tribe in Xiliang, so she can basically not give any help to Ren Ning.
From Matthew's point of view, if Ren Ning ignores or even destroys her, no one in the world except the Kailun tribe will say a word.
But Ren Ning didn't.
Not only did he not, he even rejected the marriage alliances of the major wealthy families in Yunchui and directly made Yingpan his queen.
Such an emperor cannot just be said to be an infatuated man, but he also deserves a word of praise.
That's what one says.
It is more valuable for ministers like them who are wandering outside Yunchui to have peace of mind and return home.
