Zhao Huan hurriedly helped him up, and he was extremely excited in his heart: "Zhao Li, I finally didn't misjudge you. You and Bufeng have worked hard, and the crew members of the Song Dynasty dragon boat, you have worked hard! I, on behalf of the people of the Song Dynasty, thank you!" Zhao Huan bowed deeply to the crew members with his fists clasped.
Everyone was in an uproar. Although they had always heard that the emperor did some extraordinary things, he had restrained himself a lot in recent years. How could he actually salute the crew again?
The ancients respected the superior and the inferior, and the elders were in order. The emperor saluted the crew, and although this gesture was somewhat inappropriate, the crew saw that the emperor was truly grateful, so they all fell to the ground and shouted, "Long live! Long live!"
Some crew members started crying. They had gone through untold hardships and almost given up several times, but today they finally felt that it was all worth it.
The crowd erupted in deafening shouts: "Long live, long live!"
Zhao Xin stood behind Zhu Lian, covering his ears. He was a little too young to understand what was going on, but he just thought it was very funny.
Zhu Lian leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Xin'er, these people are grateful to your father, that's why they're shouting so loudly. You have to remember that when you grow up, you have to be like your father and be a good emperor who cares about the people, okay?"
Zhao Xin nodded, seemingly understanding, and followed in a childish voice, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
Nangong Lian'er and the others nearby smiled with their hands covering their mouths. The Song Dynasty had become much more open now. Concubines in the harem were no longer subject to impeachment by the ministers for appearing in public, and many of the children of officials and women on the streets of the capital had also begun to appear in public.
Everything will change slowly. Zhao Huan wanted to show the world a strong, prosperous and open Song Empire with an open mind, just like the Tang Dynasty!
PS: Please pay attention to my new book "The Foolish Emperor of Tang Dynasty". I guarantee it will be much better than this book.
