Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 974: Banquet Incident, Change of Position

On the other side, a major event happened today in Shenmu City of Shenmu Kingdom.

People on both sides of the street gathered here to watch.

This major event was none other than the coronation ceremony of their crown prince Hua Yunhong.

Because it was a change of imperial power.

All the people who should and shouldn’t have come on normal days came. Not only did the major families arrange people to come and congratulate, but they also presented gifts worth a fortune.

There are also prominent officials in the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

Plus the royal family members who came from all over the place.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene of Hua Yunhong's ascension to the throne this time was extremely grand.

Preparations for this coronation ceremony had already begun half a month ago.

Finally, there were no problems and it was done successfully.

"Welcome Your Majesty to the throne!"

When Hua Yunhong passed by in the imperial carriage, officials on both sides of the road spoke loudly.

The etiquette of the Shenmu Kingdom is different from that of Daqian, but it is still the same as that of the feudal era.

After quickly completing the process, it was time to host a banquet to entertain people who came from all over the country to congratulate.

In the palace, Hua Yunhong, wearing a dragon robe, walked through the lobby.

There are already many officials sitting on the ground.

There was wine, drinks, and fruits on the small table in front of him.

Everyone's eyes were on him, and Hua Yunhong reached the highest position.

He nodded slowly to the crowd, and everyone immediately stood up and shouted "Long live!"

"I am fortunate to succeed to the throne..."

It was still the same old story, and he recited the script he had prepared long ago to them.

Then Hua Yunhong finally began to talk about the latest situation.

"Everyone, these are troubled times. I have heard that the remnants of enemy nations have begun to unsettle, causing great harm to the people of Dawn. After I ascend the throne, I hope you will assist me in suppressing them."

There wasn't much problem with the polite words he said earlier.

But when he mentioned his first policy after ascending the throne, everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect that Hua Yuanzheng and Fang Yuanjian were in the south and north respectively.

They took away a lot of land and constantly threatened the imperial court.

Hua Yunhong actually left them alone and instead went to suppress those small rebellious forces.

They can understand that this is a diversion of conflict, but this diversion of conflict is too abrupt.

So much so that no one could react and wonder what was going on.

It was at this time that an official in charge of internal affairs came out.

He asked Hua Yunhong angrily:

"Your Majesty, the rebels in the north and south are still undetermined. How can the court waste resources on these petty thieves?"

What he said makes a lot of sense.

Many people are waiting for Hua Yunhong to ascend the throne and get rid of Fang Yuanjian and Hua Yuanzheng.

However, in his series of speeches, he did not mention anything about the situation of these two forces.

I wasn't even prepared to attack them again.

This way of doing things made everyone realize that something was wrong.

Could it be that Hua Yunhong's mentality has changed?

If the other party's position and mentality change, these old ministers and those who have always supported Hua Yunhong will feel disheartened.

"I will disband some of the northern troops and conquer Fang Yuanjian in the future."

Facing the pressure from everyone, Hua Yunhong was naturally prepared.

He knew that diverting the conflict and avoiding the main issue in this way would seem crazy to everyone.

But now he has no choice.

After all, no matter whether it was Fang Yuanjian or Hua Yuanzheng, Qin Ming was standing behind them.

If he attempted to start a war, he would be highly praised within the court.

But you will be caught in a long war.

He simply didn't dare to enter this quagmire.

The battle he arranged between his troops and Qin Ming some time ago had already caused him a lot of suffering.

"Maintaining a stable livelihood is the most important thing. If you have different ideas, you can come to the palace and express them to me."

"Your Majesty, you can't do this."

At this time, many ministers felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Even if the army is disbanded, it is not actually a too severe punishment.

Compared to what Fang Yuan, Jian Hua and Yuan Zheng had done, there was no punishment at all.

Besides, these two parties would never obey him.

"That's it for now, no need to say more."

"Today is a happy day. Even if you have any opinions on these matters, we can discuss them later."

Hua Yunhong did not give them much opportunity to resolve the matter.

Just put this matter aside.

After seeing his attitude, many old ministers were furious.

Despite many complaints, their banquet continued.

After the banquet, many people ran out to check the list of gifts.

For example, the court will not thank those who sent gifts individually because there are so many of them.

They would put all these lists out there and post them all at once.

In this way, whoever gave the gift and how valuable the gift was can be displayed, giving face to the family and officials who gave the gift.

"Why are their names on the gift list?"

Soon, a sharp-eyed official discovered a name that he had never expected.

"Tongbao Pavilion?!"

"They actually sent gifts too. I remember these guys were constantly slandering His Majesty in the newspapers."

"Come to think of it, there seems to be no news in the newspapers these days that discredits His Majesty."

"Could it be that they have reached a cooperation agreement?"

Many officials noticed the name of Tongbao Pavilion.

After realizing that there seemed to be some strange tacit understanding between the two parties.

All these officials began to have wild thoughts.

In fact, anyone can notice the effect of the newspaper. If Hua Yunhong can reconcile with Tongbao Pavilion, it will be a good thing for many people.

However, some radicals in the court felt something was wrong at this moment.

"They have been slandering His Majesty all along. Now we finally have the chance to settle accounts with them. Why is Your Majesty still hesitating?"

"Have you really negotiated with them?"

"How is this possible!"

They were very dissatisfied because Hua Yunhong behaved too cowardly after ascending the throne, which was completely different from what they expected.

In fact, many of those who support Hua Yunhong hope that he can conquer everyone after he ascends the throne.

After all, that's what he did a few years ago, but now they can't see this scene anymore.

We must also stay with him and retreat.

Just as these people who were already dissatisfied were muttering below, a shocked voice suddenly came.

"This... Master Sun gave me a South China Sea Night Pearl."

"That's nothing. The Heshi Zhao family even gave us a huge piece of ambergris."

The little incident at Tongbao Pavilion passed quickly, and everyone kept looking up to see what the dignitaries who sent gifts were actually giving.
