Everyone in the court was very excited about His Majesty's return. It was His Majesty who led the Qin Dynasty to become so powerful, and Zhao Qingrui's prestige was unquestionable.

The news that Zhao Qingrui was coming back also spread, and many people from Guizhou were waiting by the Wei River just to catch a glimpse of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, there are already many people guarding the riverside, and they just want to see Your Majesty first." Shang Lian joked.

"Those people are just too idle. Are there no problems at home?" Zhao Qingrui also laughed, feeling relieved. This is what the people want.

"It's not the autumn harvest yet, so there shouldn't be too much to do now." Shang Lian said softly. There were many people on both sides of the river bank. Wherever the big ship passed, you could see the people kneeling and bowing.

Zhao Qingrui glanced out the window. She actually didn't like these kneeling rituals, but she couldn't correct them for the time being. She could only practice them slowly later.

"Pass the order to the officials along the way that the people near the river are not allowed to kneel down." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Why, Your Majesty?" Shang Lian looked at Zhao Qingrui in confusion.

"I don't like such etiquette as kneeling to heaven, kneeling to the earth, kneeling to parents, and kneeling to the king and officials. It should be abolished in the future." Zhao Qingrui lowered her head and flipped through the book without looking at Shang Lian. Her voice was very soft, and if you didn't listen carefully, you might not be able to hear the last sentence.

Shang Lian was stunned. These rituals had been passed down for so many generations, yet His Majesty was actually going to risk the wrath of the world and abolish them.

If these things were to be abolished, it would probably cause countless controversies. Shang Lian felt a chill on her scalp when she thought of that scene.

Your Majesty is really too bold. She knows that there are still many people in the Qin Dynasty who yearn for the Zhou rituals. Your Majesty's move is simply provoking those people.

However, looking back at the various decrees issued by Zhao Qingrui, none of them were not bold, but they all became the nourishment of the Qin Dynasty, making it a better place.

Shang Lian still passed on Zhao Qingrui's order word for word, but the effect was not very obvious. The officials could not stop the enthusiasm on the people's faces.

After hearing the report and seeing the huge crowd kneeling outside, Zhao Qingrui felt helpless.
