Chapter 0011 Good Stuff
The guards thought Xiao Rong would be driven out soon, but one hour passed, then two hours...
When Xiao Rong came out, the guards outside the door all saluted him. Xiao Rong: “?”
Those who can serve as the personal guards of the King of Zhenbei are naturally people he trusts. They are also senior veterans in the Zhenbei Army. They may not be old, but they have definitely been following the Qu family since their parents’ generation.
After Xiao Rong left, the guards told their superior, the commander of the guards, Zhuang Weizi, about the incident.
When Zhuang Weizhi heard this, he was even more surprised than they were, because he had followed Qu Yunmie for a longer time and knew how impatient their king was when it came to offering advice.
Even if Prime Minister Gao was present, he could not keep the king in one place and make him listen to the heavenly book for two hours.
That's what they don't understand.
Is Xiao Rong talking about the Heavenly Book? That is clearly a good plan that he has found very appealing! ...
He even forgot what Xiao Rong had said at first, that these were to prepare for his attack on the Xianbei in the autumn. After Xiao Rong left, he went to find paper and pen to write a simple letter and had someone send it to Zhangye.
Zhuang Weizhi watched him finish writing, and Qu Yunmieben had already put down his pen, but suddenly asked him: "Did Yuan Baifu deliver the military report?"
Zhuang Weizhi shook his head: "Not yet, Your Majesty, will you issue a military order?"
Qu Yunmie hesitated for a while. Although the distance between bringing people from Zhangye and bringing people from Yizhou was not much different, the terrain was very different.
However, it was someone else's job, not his, so why should he be afraid of trouble? Thinking of this, Qu Yunmie immediately lowered his head and was about to write another letter, but he had a headache looking at these words. So he said to Zhuang Weizhi, "Send someone to inform Yuan Baifu that those who surrender in Yizhou will not be killed, and bring all the surrendered prisoners back to Yanmen County."
Zhuang Wei was stunned: "Including the native and common people?"
Qu Yunmie was about to nod, but he suddenly realized that Xiao Rong did not mention the matter of the commoners.
He narrowed his eyes and felt that he understood.
It must be because Xiao Rong came from a noble family, and he felt sympathy for these commoners who could barely be considered his colleagues, and was unwilling to let them do hard labor.
Humph, why? The Tu people and farmers can do it, so why can't you, a commoner?
With this thought in mind, Qu Yunmie sneered: "Of course, do you want to plead for them?"
Zhuang Weizhi: “…………”
He just asked a question.
On the other side, Xiao Rong returned to his residence, and the first thing he did was to ask Ashu to bring him paper and pen.
This matter was too important, and he was afraid that he would not be able to remember it if he only used his brain.
Every time Xiao Rong asked for paper and pen, it was a very important matter. Ashu did not dare to delay and quickly took the things over.
Then, he watched Xiao Rong write and read aloud.
"My temper changes from time to time, and my temperament is unpredictable."
"I only listen to things that interest me, and I just brush aside things that don't interest me."
"He hates foreigners, despises scholars, and has an unclear attitude towards ordinary people."
"Surprisingly, he is quite understanding."
"You have to coax them in the right direction, not against them."
“I don’t believe in superstition. I even hate superstition.”
After finishing writing, Xiao Rong picked up the half-dry paper and blew on it gently: "The rest remains to be seen."
Ashu: “…………”
He stared at Xiao Rong blankly: "Master, you, you are not going to keep this paper, are you?"
Xiao Rong was puzzled: "If I didn't want to stay, why would I write it down?"
Ah Shu sincerely admired him: "Aren't you afraid that King Zhenbei will find out?!"
Xiao Rong smiled proudly: "Don't be afraid, just look at how I wrote it."
Ashu looked at him in confusion, then moved closer and found that there were words on the paper. They were obviously words, but he didn't recognize most of them.
Ah Shu was stunned: "This..."
"This," Xiao Rong said proudly, "This is called simplified Chinese characters. Ordinary people can't recognize it."
The great writer couldn't say for sure, because there are indeed similarities between simplified and traditional Chinese characters, but the King of Zhenbei... haha, he is a rough guy who only knows how to fight and kill, even if he is enlightened again, he won't be able to recognize what is written here.
However, to be on the safe side, Xiao Rong kept these things close to him.
Today he was going there not only to offer advice and carry out his own plan, but also to test and see what Qu Yunmie's upper and lower limits were.
Xiao Rong is the type of person who would not do something if he didn't want to, but if he did it, he would definitely do it to the best of his ability. Since he and Qu Yunmie are already tied together, Xiao Rong would not lose his temper anymore. He was determined to push Qu Yunmie to the throne, even though he didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart.
Besides...these dislikes are not as strong as they were at the beginning.
Especially after knowing the inexplicable fate between Qu Yunmie and Yu Shaocheng.
Based on what he saw and heard yesterday, to be honest, Qu Yunmie's desire to kill Yu Shaoxie was not too much. This was an era of strict monarchy and ministerial relationship. If the monarch wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die. Although the King of Zhenbei was only a king, he had actually stepped half a step onto the throne of the ruler, and the throne at this time was different from the throne later.
