Time passed quickly. It was almost time for the coronation, and Military Advisor Mo and the others had all arrived in the capital. The great monk Liangran and the lame Taoist priest had also arrived.
The time for ascending the throne has been set.
Su Qi looked at the time and it was exactly the same day she arrived at Mengjiazhuang a few years ago.
Life is unpredictable. At that time, no one knew that a dynasty would really be overthrown in a few years.
Gu Beiheng was busy in the previous dynasty.
Su Qi and Qin Wan were not idle in the harem either.
The families of the Grand Councillors and the Prime Ministers also needed to maintain relationships. The old and established families in the capital were also invited.
Qin Wan was so tired after being busy for several days that she leaned back in her chair.
Two palace maids were massaging her. Qin Wan looked at Su Qi who was still handling things and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Qi Qi. You are really suitable to be the queen."
Su Qi closed the notebook in her hand and stretched her numb limbs.
"Mom, I was forced to do this and there was nothing I could do."
"These ministers are not easy to talk to. They are so obsessed with fame and fortune that they are calculating the beads of their abacus." Qin Wan closed his eyes. "Even the lady in the harem speaks only half the truth, half her thoughts, and the other half she keeps in her heart."
"Mother sees everything clearly." Su Qi stood up and looked at the magnificent palace, which made her dizzy. "We are not fools, let's see who has the better method."
After Su Qi finished speaking, she returned to her own Guanju Palace.
The Guanju Palace she decorated was different from other magnificent palaces. It was luxurious but unpopular.
Su Qi's Guanju Palace, once you enter the courtyard, there are green plants all along the corners of the walls.
The plants are not tall, and some flowers are transplanted in between.
There are several red plum trees, green plum trees, yellow plum trees and white plum trees intertwined together.
There is also a flower hall next to the palace, which is like a greenhouse. Many flowers are planted there, and the various flowers bloom beautifully.
There are also many precious camellias.
Eighteen scholars, hexagonal red, mandarin duck and phoenix crown...
Orchids are even more colorful and beautiful.
What about Suguan Heding, ghost orchid, emerald orchid, dendrobium orchid...
Orchids are difficult to grow and require very high soil quality. Su Qi has books on growing orchids in her space, so she is not afraid of them.
Except these flowers.
A vegetable garden was also opened up in the backyard of Guanju Palace.
Now the greenhouse has been built and various vegetables have been transplanted into it.
A small area was left to sow a patch of radish. It took only twenty days from sowing the radish to being ready for picking.
There is also a natural strawberry plantation.
Guanju Palace is basically populated by people who originally served Su Qi, and there are also some young palace maids who came in later.
Su Qi was interested in training several senior palace maids, with Xiang He, Bai Zhi, and others to marry off in the future. Several maids from the Meilin section of Jinyang Prefecture were summoned to the capital, along with several guards who had hoped to enter the palace.
Gu Beiheng got angry in the Qinzheng Hall.
His Highness knelt on the ground with civil and military officials.
"What do you mean? I haven't even ascended the throne yet, and you're trying to influence my thoughts?" Gu Beiheng glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.
The several great Confucian officials who had made the proposal earlier trembled in fear.
"General Wang. We are all descendants of the Long family. Although the country's name has been changed, we are still respecting the same ancestor." The great scholar kneeling on the ground said in a trembling voice.
"What do you mean?"
Gu Beiheng looked around.
Su Jingmo raised his head and glared at Yang Daru in front of him with disapproval.
"To answer the general, I do not agree. Dongqi is Dongqi, and Qin is Qin. It is not permissible to honor every generation of Dongqi emperors as ancestors and enshrine them in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
Su Jingmo knew that Gu Beiheng didn't want to be involved with Dong Qi.
Some of Dongqi's former ministers naturally hoped that they were Dongqi's descendants, so that they could find connections in a roundabout way.
Military Advisor Mo changed into the clothes of the Prime Minister.
I also quite agree with what Su Jingmo said.
His appearance startled many people. Military Advisor Mo's appearance was very recognizable.
"In reply to the General King, I also believe that the Qin State was founded by the General King and his son. It is naturally a new dynasty, and the ancestors honored in the Taimiao are also determined by the General King."
"Master Su and I worked overnight to draw up a list."
A young eunuch came over, picked up the list, and presented it to Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng took a look and smiled.
"Okay. Let's follow the list drawn up by Prime Minister Mo."
The previous Emperor Dongqi was not on this list. No one that Gu Beiheng disliked was on it either.
The War King chose not to get involved in this matter.
It’s because Zhan Wang is different from Gu Beiheng. He grew up here and some things are hard to let go.
It would be better to let Gu Beiheng decide everything.
There were old officials from Dongqi who were unable to speak and shouted that they wanted to see the King of War.
Gu Beiheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Why not go see Emperor Dongqi? My Qin Dynasty only wants ministers who are loyal to my Qin Dynasty."
The old official was so frightened that he trembled and fell to the ground, crying out, "Please spare my life. I know I am wrong."
"Take off your official hat and drag him out." Gu Beiheng ignored him.
To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, we must use a powerful operation to show everyone.
The other ministers did not dare to speak.
All subsequent topics were decided based on Gu Beiheng's thoughts.
Gu Beiheng walked out of the Qinzheng Hall feeling relieved.
"General King, Prince Zhan is waiting for you in Ningshou Palace." The little eunuch bowed and followed behind.
Gu Beiheng thought about it and decided to return to Guanju Palace first.
This moment.
He just wanted to hug Su Qi.
"Qiqi." Gu Beiheng waved his hand to let others leave, and hugged Su Qi in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Su Qi, dressed in casual clothes, was teaching Yuebao and Xibao to read by looking at pictures.
Yuebao covered her eyes with her hands, and looked at Gu Beiheng and Su Qi curiously through the gaps between her fingers.
The little mouth opened its mouth, "Daddy is bad."
Xibao drooled at the chicken leg in the picture and stretched out two fingers to pick at the chicken leg.
I can't get it off no matter what I do.
I was so angry that I bit the chicken leg in the picture.
She cried so hard because she couldn't bite the chicken leg. Gu Beiheng quickly let go of Su Qi and picked up Xibao to comfort her.
"What happened to our Xibao?"
Xibao pinched his chubby mouth with tears in his eyes, "Dad, eat."
Su Qi held her forehead speechlessly, "Still eating. Look at your round belly."
"Not fat." Xibao curled herself up in Gu Beiheng's arms.
Two small hands hugged Gu Beiheng's neck, and the little mouth bit his chin. "Daddy, eat."
"Okay. Baizhi, go get some snacks for Xibao."
"Bring some fruit." Su Qi ordered Bai Zhi helplessly.
Yuebao is still looking at the words on the picture and learning to speak while looking.
"Mother, wolf."
Su Qi looked over and saw that it was a dog. It was Dabao and Erbao's wolf, and it had always been with Yuebao and Xibao.
The two little guys mistook the wolf for a dog.
Now two wolves also followed and were kept in Guanju Palace. The two wolves were very clever and ran all over the palace except Guanju Palace.
Like patrolling his own territory.
I have to go running every day before coming back.
Gu Beiheng picked up Yuebao and sat her on his lap. He liked the feeling of peace and tranquility like this.
Su Qi asked Gu Beiheng if he had any worries?
Gu Beiheng told Su Qi the whole story, "These old officials simply want to use this to lure the descendants of the Long family back. Then we'll make them princes and give them some fiefdoms."
"There's no such thing as fiefdoms here. The descendants of the Dong Qilong family won't be given the titles of prince or duke. The third prince is the only one."
The reason why Gu Beiheng gave the title to the Third Prince was also due to special reasons.
"These old sly guys are just taking advantage of you because you don't understand." Su Qi sneered, "I'm afraid after you ascend the throne, they'll start asking you to expand your harem again."
"Impossible. I will not be controlled by them." Gu Beiheng didn't want to be a benevolent emperor at all.
Being kind to the people does not mean being kind in the court.
