The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

After all, if this is done well, everyone will make money together. At this point, anyone who dares to hold back will be dragged into a coffin and buried alive by a group of people.

As for Wei Yanwu, although the emperor was unwilling to mention it, Qiao Yelan had already obtained the news from there long ago—Old Wei had already chosen the location of the mint and the security measures were in place.

It must have been tough on him, considering that he had to manage Lungmen affairs during the day and take care of his wife at night recently. Kal'tsit had checked and found that Princess Wenyue was also carrying a girl.

However, Wei Yanwu was quite satisfied with this. The Lungmen Coin plan had attracted almost everyone's attention, so no one was interested in Princess Wenyue and his younger sister who had suddenly become reclusive. Even the eyes of the capital city did not turn to his inner quarters.

"Now that we have obtained these basic treaties that you have negotiated, I will soon order Chen Fan to form a real negotiating team to discuss this matter with the various countries."

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the reactions of Ursus and Kazimir are to the matter of LMD?"

Qiao Yelan suddenly asked.

"Ursus remained silent, but they hadn't objected yet, yet they were already planning to join in—while Kazimir's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. They sent a delegation directly, but Minister Chen had spoken with them twice, saying that these barbarians were greedy by nature and there was no need to get entangled with them. When the time was right, they would lower their demands."

It seems those businessmen did not disappoint him after all; he simply went with the flow and achieved the situation he wanted.

Qiao Yelan revealed a contemptuous smile, a contempt that came from within for the Kasimir Business Association.

That's the attitude we need—

This will allow him to promote Lungmen currency more smoothly.

Chapter 132 The Problem

The day after Qiao Yelan secretly entered the palace, in the Great Yan court.

"Your Majesty, Qiao Yelan, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, led a delegation to visit three countries on behalf of Your Majesty's high expectations. He has now returned to the capital and wishes to submit a memorial to demonstrate Your Majesty's majesty."

The emperor waved his hand.

"Xuan."

"Summon Qiao Yelan, Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, to the palace for an audience."

A eunuch pushed Qiao Yelan to the outside of the hall, gently lifted her wheelchair over the threshold of the hall, and then put her down. He pushed her all the way to the emperor before hurriedly leaving.

"Your subject Qiao Yelan pays respects to Your Majesty."

"I love you, no courtesy."

The officials in the court were all surprised—they had never seen His Majesty speak to anyone so kindly before.

Qiao Yelan and the others also knew him. More than half a year ago, in order to deal with Prime Minister Cai Yan, the emperor deliberately promoted a white-robed man, who was directly promoted to the third-rank position of Shaofujian.

After Cai Yan fell from power, the emperor wanted to reorganize the Shaofu (Imperial Household Department), and kicked this once-hot Shaofu Supervisor to the Honglu Temple. Although he was nominally the Vice Minister of Rites, he was actually only performing the duties of a fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister.

Isn't this person just a tool to be used and then discarded? Why does the emperor value him so much?

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Cai and Minister Chen, who were truly in the know, were keeping their eyes closed and showed no intention of answering their colleagues' questions.

"Your Majesty, I have not failed Your Majesty's trust. I have visited Lateran, Letania and Victoria and brought back the heads of state of these three countries, as well as the attitudes of the vassal kings of various regions towards the Great Yan."

"In that case, I would like to hear about your achievements, my dear minister."

Cai Yan and Chen Fan were also immediately impressed.

Unlike the other officials, they truly knew that Qiao Yelan's trip was not only to promote the might of the Great Yan Dynasty, but also to secretly test these people's attitude towards the Longmen Coin.

That's why they thought Qiao Yelan's trip abroad was a tough one. After all, everyone could see that whoever issued the Lungmen coin would take the lion's share—making others obediently share the spoils was no easy task.

When Qiao Yelan finished explaining the results of his visit, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Apart from Grand Duke Gao Duoting, all other countries or territories are willing to befriend our Great Yan, open border trade, and send envoys to pay tribute."

After hearing Qiao Yelan's words, the other ministers felt a sense of relief and revealed expressions of pride.

My Great Yan is invincible!

But when Chen Fan and Cai Yan heard these words, they were interpreted in a completely different way—

Grand Duke Gao Duoting directly refused, but all other forces unanimously expressed their willingness to join the Lungmen Coin system and planned to conduct in-depth negotiations with the Great Yan.

How is this done?

Could it be that Qiao Yelan possesses some kind of innate diplomatic physique?

The two of them, disregarding their own conflicts and struggles, exchanged a glance and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

They had all made their decision—to send someone to ask the other members of the delegation what a tumultuous journey they had undertaken and what thrilling negotiations they had engaged in.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

At this moment, Mr. Shaoqing was yawning as he got out of bed.

After getting home, of course I'll go to sleep. Anyway, Lord Qiao went to court, so it's enough that he's gone.

"How about lying down a bit longer?"

Thinking this, Shaoqing turned around and lay back.

touch!

-------------------------------------------------- ----

"Qiao Aiqing, you did a good job! You did a good job!"

The emperor had already received the news yesterday, but upon hearing Qiao Yelan read it aloud again in court, he still could not contain his excitement.

These are the ministers entrusted to him by his father. Wei Yanwu, do you have such ministers entrusted to you?

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you. In this way, the great name of our Great Yan will once again be known far and wide."

Chen Fan immediately stepped forward, making a good start.

"Your Majesty, we offer our congratulations."

The courtiers all offered their congratulations to His Majesty.

"This is a grand event for our Great Yan. The Ministry of Rites should work with the Court of State Ceremonial to discuss the timing of the dispatch of envoys from various countries. At that time, a grand event can be held in the capital to proclaim the strength of our Great Yan to its people and to showcase it to all nations!"

The emperor, brimming with self-satisfaction, waved his sleeve.

"I will receive the order."

-------------------------------------------------- ---

After the court assembly ended, Chen Fan and Cai Yan wisely remained where they were. Soon after, a eunuch came over and asked the two officials to go to the Imperial Study with Qiao Yelan, saying that His Majesty had summoned them by imperial decree.

When the three arrived at the Imperial Study, the Emperor was already standing in front of the "Map of the World" and deep in thought.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects."

"My dear ministers, there's no need for such formalities. I'm sure you all know why I've called you here."

Those who came were all intelligent people, and none of them intended to beat around the bush.

Prime Minister Cai bowed.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Lord Qiao some questions first. I cannot grant your request."

"Please ask me anything, Prime Minister Cai."

The emperor smiled and agreed.

"Please, Lord Cai."

Qiao Yelan turned around and smiled.

"Does what Lord Joe said in court earlier mean that only Duke Godotin and Duke Scafford disagreed, while everyone else has accepted the Lungmen coin?"

"That's right—Emperor Letania has agreed, and none of the electors have stepped forward to oppose it; Lateran Holy City has agreed to act as a permanent neutral location and be responsible for holding the deposit of Lungmen Dollars."

"Within Victoria, apart from the Duke of Godottin who vehemently refused and the Duke of Stafford who never visited, the other five—the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Caesar, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Windermere, and the Duke of Cavendish—have all agreed to join. The council of nobles in Lontinem has also expressed its support for the circulation of Lungmen currency."

Qiao Yelan rattled off his diplomatic achievements as if reciting a menu.

"Lord Qiao's diplomatic skills are indeed extraordinary. In such a complex situation, only Lord Qiao was able to straighten it out and achieve such great results in just six months."

Cai Yan's words were not at all insincere—considering the travel time, Qiao Yelan's negotiation speed was almost as fast as landing and reaching an agreement before setting off again.

He even suspects that this may be the most united era in Victoria's history since the great coup of 1072.

Although it sounds strange that unity is in the hands of an outsider.

"I heard that several months ago, the Duke of Wellington signed treaties with various surrounding powers and deployed troops on the border of Letania. I wonder if Lord Joe received any related information during his visit?"

As the prime minister, Cai Yan would certainly not overlook changes in the political situation in relevant regions, except for diplomacy.

"Indeed, it happened around the same time that I visited these regions. It was only a matter of time. Although I don't know what the Duke of Wellington was thinking, as far as I can see and hear, there are no signs of war brewing within the Duchy of Wellington."

Cai Yan nodded slowly.

Qiao Yelan passed through the Duchy of Wellington twice, the second time when the situation was at its most tense, so his words are naturally highly credible.

Every war requires thorough preparation. Even ordinary people can glean clues from official announcements and actions. Qiao Yelan said that there were no signs of war mobilization in the Duchy of Wellington, which means that this is just a routine border conflict.

"As long as a war doesn't break out, that would be best. Lord Joe has just returned and may not have received some news yet—an Elector of Letania on the Victorian border has invited the current Emperor of Letania to send troops to his territory to fight against the military pressure from the Duchy of Wellington."

“I am truly worried. The Kingdom of Letania is already loosely organized, and this matter has aroused the dissatisfaction and opposition of many Electors. If we go to war with Victoria at this time, then I am afraid there will be no peace, and even the matter of Lungmen currency will have to be delayed again and again.”

Qiao Yelan had to admit that Cai Yan's abilities were indeed sufficient to secure his position, and the other party had an unexpected sensitivity to integrating information and extending thinking.

For example, Chen Fan, who is frowning now, will definitely not be able to ask Cai Yan the same question he asked earlier.

"If the Duchy of Wellington doesn't start a war, will the situation within Letania affect the upcoming issuance of Lungmen Dollars?"
