After much trouble, the lengthy coronation ceremony finally ended at noon.

This is because Li Hezhu is in heavy condition, so Ren Ning specifically requested that the process be as short as possible, otherwise it would take longer.

Returning to the Golden Palace, Ren Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Little Leo who was following him closely.

"Do I have anything else to do today?"

If not, he would go and spend time with his wife and son.

whee.

Little Leo has a bright smile.

After these days of getting along, he has come to understand the habits of his master Ren Ning and is no longer as cautious in every word he speaks as before.

"Your Majesty, today is your great day as the king. I guess some officials will want to come to the palace this afternoon to congratulate your Majesty and the Queen..."

As for Shangshu Guanyi, Qian Liang and others, they were even busier than Ren Ning's family that day, and they probably had no time to submit memorials.

Ren Ning understood.

He had seen the real important civil and military officials of the court at the ceremonial ceremony.

The only people who can enter the palace now are those whose rank is not high enough to participate in the coronation ceremony, and who are afraid that the emperor will forget their families.

He glared at Leo.

"From now on, let's talk about state affairs and important matters first, and put all other trivial matters aside."

"I was stupid." Little Leo nodded quickly and took note of it.

"As for those ministers," Ren Ning pondered for a moment, but was not prepared to refuse, "Let's arrange a time before dinner so that the Queen and I can meet them together."

"Yes, yes." Little Leo nodded repeatedly.

In fact, he had already remembered what Ren Ning was going to do, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed an important matter. According to tradition, the envoys from various countries in the Honglu Temple will submit their credentials today."

Of course, as the monarch of the suzerain country, it is up to Ren Ning to decide whether to meet these foreign envoys.

----

Honglu Temple.

Yunchui is a big country, and the Honglu Temple is always busy with people coming and going.

It was even more crowded at this time, and almost every house was full of people.

Among these people, in addition to envoys sent by various countries and their families, there are also a large number of international students and passing merchants.

So many people had different expressions. Some looked serious and kept silent, but some were smiling and looked relaxed.

For example, Shangshou District.

The caravan leaders gathered in groups of three or five, looking at the newspapers in their hands, all of them beaming with joy.

"Open the four borders, treat merchants and caravans from all countries and counties equally, and crack down on all acts of unwarranted detention of caravans or seizure of goods."

"Strongly encourage the development of commerce in all counties within the territory, and significantly reduce the taxes on merchants and caravans entering and leaving various border ports and city gates."

……

"That's great."

For a moment, all kinds of strange accents of Yunchui language were heard.

"It will be easy for us to enter and exit Yunchui from now on."

"Yes. The goods here are dazzling and varied, unlike our Vientiane, where you can find everything you want. As long as we ship the in-demand goods back, we won't have to worry about not making money."

At this point, the merchant leader sighed.

"It's a pity that when I went north, Emperor Taixi had not yet ascended the throne, so I didn't dare to bring too much silver."

what.

"Brother, it turns out you are from Vientiane as well."

Someone nearby came over in surprise.

"What a coincidence! I still have some money on hand, and your caravan has many cars. How about we work it out and go south together when we return home? We can make money together."

"Okay."

Amidst the joy, some people couldn't help but speak out in criticism.

"Everyone, the new emperor Yunchui was born on the battlefield, is decisive in killing, and has made outstanding military achievements. I have no doubt that his new policies can be implemented."

Having said that, he looked up at the huge map of Yunchui on the wall.

"But the post road leading to the border may be a bit difficult to travel..." Haha.

"What are you afraid of?" The business leaders laughed, "As long as we can make money, that's all."

They didn't care at all.

If the road is difficult to travel, just walk slowly. As long as you don’t get stuck at any city or checkpoint along the way, you will reach your destination sooner or later.

Anyway, the ones who were tired were the oxen and horses in the caravan and the slaves driving the carts, it had 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 borders in the next few years? In the future, whether you go south or north or east or west, the roads will be easy to travel."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became silent.

The reason why they lived in the Honglu Temple was because they were not Yunchui's caravan.

The post road leading to the border has become unobstructed, which is a good thing for traveling merchants, but on the other hand, for their country it means that the Yunchui army can arrive at the city at any time if anything happens.

"None of them."

Soon someone waved his hand casually.

"The disputes between the two countries are all the affairs of the imperial court. As small merchants and civilians, we just need to do our best to support our families. We don't need to worry about anything else, and we can't worry about it."

Many people nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Ugh.

Some people are worried.

"The new emperor Yunchui is not easy to mess with. With his experience and ability, if you mess with Yunchui, he will kill you and destroy your country in a minute. I hope that the officials in our country can open their eyes and recognize the situation, and don't seek death..."

hum.

Some people sneered in their hearts.

I actually hope that those idiots in the country will anger Yunchui and seek their own death.

In this way, you might be able to become a Yunchui person, so as to avoid the sharp decline of the passes here and being cheated when you return.

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.

They were You Meng and Alun from Kailun.

Although the agreement on the Kailun tribe joining the Yunchui territory has been signed, it has not been made public for some reasons.

Therefore, You Meng and others still needed to live in the Honglu Temple, but they were allowed to attend Ren Ning's coronation ceremony.

Of course, the location is not conspicuous.

  However, Allen and his friends didn't care. Instead, they almost grinned with joy.

At the coronation ceremony that just passed, they saw with their own eyes their own girl wearing the crown of queen, and Ren Ning even directly named their child Ren Zhan as the crown prince.

In a word, Ren Ning is worthy of Kailun's trust.

"Give the order," You Meng lowered his voice, "Today is a big day for us in Kailun. Everyone in the caravan will be given an extra month's salary as a reward."

"Okay." The guard next to him was cheered up and agreed happily.

"Also, the camel caravan is about to set off back west. Have each captain check whether the goods on the list are ready and purchase anything that is missing. If there are any that cannot be purchased, please make a list and report it."

"I understand." After saying that, the little guard jumped and ran away.

Tsk tsk.

Matthew, who was standing next to him, saw all this and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Compared to Allen and You Meng, who started leading caravans halfway through their careers, he is the one who truly regards running a caravan as his lifelong goal.

Therefore, he had some knowledge of the history, background and even taboos of various countries and dynasties along the trade route.

For example, Yunchui has an unspoken rule that women from other races cannot become queens.

What's more, Yingpan is just the daughter of a small tribe in Xiliang, and it can be said that she can basically not provide any help to Ren Ning.

In Matthew's opinion, if Ren Ning ignored or even destroyed her, no one in the world would say a word except the Kailun tribe.

However, Ren Ning did not.

Not only that, he even rejected marriage proposals from all the major wealthy families in Yunchui and directly made Yingpan the queen.

Such an emperor cannot be simply described as a lovesick man, but he also deserves praise.

That's a word of gold.

It is even more worthy for these ministers who are wandering outside the Yunchui area to feel at ease and return home. (End of this chapter)
