After promulgating the edict, Yang Dong held it and presented it to Zhao Mengqi.

"The official also said that His Highness has worked hard on his journey, so it's okay to rest for a few days before entering the palace."

What kind of labor can I have to do with a boat?

Don’t Lao Zhao want to see him?

Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do the teacher think, what should students do?"

I can't figure out the situation for the time being, so I'll never be wrong when I ask you.

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned." Yang Dong replied softly, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Zhao Mengqi nodded, "Well, there is no such thing as not to say goodbye to my father when my son returns... Teacher, the students will send you back to the city later."

Before entering the palace, you still have to find out more about the situation.

Yang Dong believed that he would not refuse and nodded, "Okay, I also want to see how your highness has studied in the past six months."

After saying that, he stepped aside and started chatting with Jiang Wanli.

Immediately, other officials came up to congratulate and greet him.

"Your Highness has achieved moral integrity in literature and martial arts. The crown prince will be expected to be the most popular. I sincerely congratulate you..."

What kind of morality can be achieved through literature? I will unify the world for thousands of years.

"Your Highness is alone in danger, suppressing rebellion and disaster relief, and helping all the people with water and fire. It is really of great merit. But your Highness is the foundation of the country. Don't take such risks in the future. If you have any questions, your ministers will be punished. Even if you are not talented, you are willing to devote yourself to your nobles' hearts..."

This guy is both flattering and loyal, and he has a very obvious intention to be effective.

"Your Highness has a great literary talent and is the most talented man of the world. I have a young daughter who is beautiful and wise, virtuous and kind, and has a similar age to your highness. I admire Your Highness the most and writes a few lyrics, wanting you to give me some advice..."

This is too shameless, so I will sell my daughter in public.

And there were more than one or two, all of whom were full of enthusiasm, and they praised their younger generations as a woman of their age, as if they were about to rush to put them into Queen Yan's house.

There are also people who sell their sons, "Your Highness's song of military service is deafening, and it makes people excited when you hear it. The dog son is determined to make contributions on the battlefield. I wonder if your Highness's Guards still recruit people?"

"The nephews outside my husband are quite brave and full of desire to kill the enemy and serve the country. I hope your highness will be included in his command..."

"I have a nephew in a clan who is only twenty-six years old. Although his talent is far less than that of His Highness, I am expected to obtain a new subject. I am willing to join the royal palace to be a clerk..."

Although these methods and statements vary, they are actively moving towards the King of Yan, and even taking sides openly.

Their official positions are not very high, but they are not low. Most of them are doctors from various departments. Although they are only at the sixth or seventh rank, they are already considered middle-level officials of the court.

It is precisely because you are neither up nor down that you are more motivated and feel a sense of crisis. You can become a big shot and take a step back to basically end your political life.

At this time, most of them were very optimistic about the prospects of the King of Yan after observing the wind and beauty, so they were eager to defect to pave the way for their career.

Although he looked down on this behavior very much, Zhao Mengqi would not be so stupid that he offended people for no reason. He could only endure the nuisance and respond with a smile on his face.

After finally sending out a group of officials, there were still tens of thousands of people outside waving and cheering.

After all, people are here to greet them, and it would be too unreasonable not to say hello.

Seeing King Yan walking towards the crowd of people outside, Chang Geng was extremely nervous and immediately took people to sanitation.

In fact, there are no high-rise buildings nearby, so there is no need to worry too much about assassination.

Moreover, when Zhao Mengqi walked twenty steps away from the crowd, he stopped and stood and waved to all parties.

Seeing this, the crowd became more enthusiastic and shouted loudly.

"Your Highness has a long life and a blessing!"

"Your Highness is wise and powerful!"

"Your Highness blesses the common people with great luck and great fortune in the coming year!"

"Xiaomin also asks His Highness for blessing, and he will marry a wife next year..."

Uh, is this treating Zhao Mengqi as a Bodhisattva in the temple?

"We are waiting for you and finally let Your Highness come back. Now we can live a good life."

"Yes, yes, I heard that Pingjiang people are all wider now. We live at the foot of the emperor and we can't compare to them."

"It is said that His Highness of the King of Yan is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. Business will be prosperous wherever he is. This time he comes back, but he asks the officials to take good care of him and don't let him leave Lin'an."

The changes that took place in Pingjiang Prefecture have made the people of Lin'an also excited.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I want to give birth to you!"

"Your Highness, look here! Look here! I have a good appearance, a big butt, and it's easy to raise my child!"

"I can give birth to ten..."

There was a place where there were thousands of young ladies gathered. They were in a cold weather, but they were all dressed in a sleek manner, revealing their white arms, and shaking colorful brocade handkerchiefs frantically, hoping that the King of Yan would take a look.

Faced with such enthusiasm, Zhao Mengqi was amused and crying. He wanted to deal with it quickly, so he raised his hands and made a quiet gesture.

After a while, the crowd gradually became quiet. Perhaps everyone wanted to hear what the King of Yan would say.

Zhao Mengqi cleared his throat and tried to say loudly, "Whether you are close to me, my hometown is beautiful, my hometown is water!"

Even though the sound is not small, perhaps only the closest dozens or hundreds of people can hear it among the tens of thousands of people. Therefore, more than 100 other classes such as Chang Geng and others act as "megaphones" again, and they are already very skilled in this task.

"Lin'an is Xiao Wang's home. This time I went home, Xiao Wang was very moved to be warmly welcomed by so many fellow villagers."

"Especially the enthusiasm of the young ladies made Xiao Wang both happy and distressed. It was so cold that you were dressed too thin. If you were freezing, Xiao Wang would be extremely sad. So please ask everyone to go home earlier. If you are destined to meet each other in the future."

"Other fellow villagers, please go back first. In two days, Xiao Wang will give each household in the city a gift to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay, please disperse in an orderly manner. If Xiao Wang doesn't go to the palace again, his father will scold me for being unfilial."

The last sentence is obviously a joke, and even the class members copied it when they retell it.

The people smiled loudly after hearing this. In fact, they didn't expect that King Yan would put down his airs like this and spoke very casually, as if he was the man next door.

"Let's go, let's not let your highness be embarrassed."

"We will feel relieved when we see Your Highness come back with our own eyes..."

"When I came, I thought that Your Highness had been assassinated. If I saw so many people, even if I didn't change places and get off the boat, I would be on high alert. I didn't expect Your Highness to be afraid at all."

"Your Highness is still the same highness. He was so open and fearless in front of Ning's Sect. To put it, your Highness seems to have grown a lot taller and stronger."

"That's good, that's good. Your Highness, King Yan always pretends to be our people. Health and strength are our blessing..."

"It's been a break... I haven't come here for a while now and I've become unaware of it anymore, so I'll just go and have a look."

"What's the point of visiting now? It's all about building construction everywhere. If you walk around, you can eat half a pound of dust..."

"That is, I have to go shopping and build the new city before I can come back. I have to say that Your Highness is such a huge deal. It's only half a year, and such a large place looks a bit like this."

"That's right, most of the workers here are Taihu refugees. His Highness not only gave them such high wages, but also built a business in their hometown, and recovered many of the land and real estate that had been seized by people. With such a great kindness, they all worked as if they were desperate..."

"Hey, no, right? If the land property is recovered, why don't you go back to your hometown?"

"Haha, you don't understand this? Do you think you earn more money for the King of Yan here or you earn more money when you go home to farm? Even if they have land, they only have more than ten acres of acres. To support their family, they have to rent some land. But here, one person can support a whole family. Moreover, the women at home can also work in the King of Yan's industry, and their children can study for free. I heard that in the future, His Highness will have to divide a house for them. It's you, are you willing to leave?"

"This... the fool is willing to leave, but do they want their property?"

"Either sell it to the court or replace it with the field roll. Anyway, Your Highness will not let the people suffer."

"Oh, it would be great if the King of Yan was born early. My family had more than ten acres of land before, and they were dominated by a large family. However, the land tax was paid by my family, so they fled to Lin'an to make a living."

"Don't sigh. The official edict just now said that when the King of Yan got married, he would become the crown prince. He could not say that he would abdicate in advance. When His Highness becomes an official, his life will naturally get better and better..."

"Tao! Isn't you Kong Yiji a little fellow? The clothes you wear are much more broken than mine!"

"You, you! See clearly, I am Lanshan! Do you understand Lanshan? I am a scholar, how can you write like you... Do you know how to write? There are four ways to write Huizhi!?"

"Are you really a scholar? Then why don't you become an official?"

"Who said I didn't go to the exam? I...that's because the examiner was ignorant. After His Highness ascended the throne, he would definitely reform the government. I would go to the exam again and I would definitely be in high school!"

Tens of thousands of people just talk and laugh, slowly dispersing.

In a carriage on the side of the road, Zhang Shu couldn't help but sink his face as he listened to the words floating outside the car.

Unexpectedly, King Yan could still have such a high status and prestige among the people for so long, and there was a trend of becoming higher and higher.

In this way, if you want to deal with the King of Yan, many methods will be useless. Let’s endure the dormant for the time being and make arrangements slowly.

At the dock, when the people were almost dispersed, most of the officials also left in the ox cart sedan. They wanted to stay in front of the King of Yan for a while, but they were not willing to get bored of the King of Yan.

At this time, Huang Gu came to Zhao Mengqi and looked tearful, "Alang, you are finally back..."

Seeing Huang Gu, Zhao Mengqi felt warm, but he was not angry, "Why are you crying when I'm back? Why don't you prepare a carriage for me? I'm going to enter the palace."

"Hey, I'll go now..." Huang Gu quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves and hurriedly made arrangements. After taking two steps, he fell back again, "Alang, are you using an old carriage or?"

Zhao Mengqi thought about it and now he was attracting attention. It was a great opportunity to advertise. He said, "Just use the new carriage and bring the two carriages for the father and the saints."

Huang Gu is quite careful in his work, and the carriages and horses have actually been prepared long ago. They are in the warehouse at the dock and drove out soon.

This is a fleet of nine cars in total, with similar appearances and four wheels, but each has its own characteristics, and the materials and shapes of the carriage are different.

The first one is the largest. The carriage is 12 meters long and nine feet wide. It is mainly made of red sandalwood, carved with exquisite patterns, and is inlaid with various treasures just right. The frame is teak and reinforced with a large number of metal parts, making the body particularly heavy, nearly 4,000 kilograms. The wheels have to be made one foot wide and wrapped with a thick layer of Eucommia glue to absorb shock.

The car door is opened on the side of the car. After opening it, the folded ladder can be placed down to facilitate getting on and off the car.
