Chapter 0015 Pingcheng
Upon learning that Xiao Rong wanted to persuade Qu Yunmie to move the capital, the happiest person in the entire Yanmen County was none other than Yu Shaoxie.
When he arrived at Xiao Rong's residence, Yu Shaoxie's face was filled with excitement.
"I know that Brother Xiao is just like me, we are from the same path!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
This sounds weird.
Yu Shaoxie: "What's so good about Yanmen County? Only the king would move here and build a palace here. Even the nearby Dai County is much better than Yanmen County in every aspect."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Yu Shaoxie coughed lightly.
In his eyes, Xiao Rong was a true gentleman who was neither arrogant nor impetuous, polite and courageous, and never afraid of power. He was very similar to himself, but much more powerful than himself.
Xiao Rong was also not afraid of death, but he was able to escape unscathed from the king's presence, and he actually persuaded the king to look at himself and see that he needed rescue from others every time.
To be honest, he is a few years older than Xiao Rong, but he is not as calm and composed as Xiao Rong.
Yu Shaoxie would think these words in his heart, but he would not say them out loud, so Xiao Rong did not know what he was thinking. He just looked at him in confusion, sighing in frustration, and clenching his fists firmly. ...What should he do?
Yu Shaoxie believed that Xiao Rong didn't talk much because he was very graceful. When faced with impoliteness from his colleagues, he would only smile slightly as a reminder. However, the truth was even more cruel.
Xiao Rong felt that he had used up all the words he could to get out of Yu Shaoxie, the ancient angry young man, and he no longer had any use for him. …
The two of them were talking at cross purposes. Yu Shaoxie admired Xiao Rong more and more. Without Xiao Rong asking, he started talking. Xiao Rong responded from time to time and nodded to him with a smile. In fact, he was already daydreaming.
It wasn't until Yu Shaoxie asked him a question that Xiao Rong finally came back to his senses: "What did Brother Yu say?"
Yu Shaoxie smiled, not noticing Xiao Rong's distraction at all: "I'm asking, in my opinion, where should the king move to?"
Xiao Rong blinked and asked him, "What do you think, Brother Yu?"
Yu Shaoxie answered in a resounding voice: "Of course it is Chang'an!"
Xiao Rong: “…” He just knew it.
Although many people hope that Qu Yunmie will move the capital, their ideas are not so righteous, and they all have their own selfish agenda.
The southward migration of the Yong Dynasty hurt the hearts of the people north of the Huai River and also made people south of the Huai River worried. Although all the aristocratic families followed the emperor, many of them still dreamed of returning to Chang'an and restoring the glory of Emperor Wu.
It is no exaggeration to say that eight out of ten people in the Nanyong court think so.
Among them, the king's uncle is the most representative. Coincidentally, the king's uncle's surname is Sun, and the Sun family is one of the first-class families, and their full name is Pingyang Sun.
That is the Pingyang that Xiao Rong had been to.
The prefect of Pingyang has a close relationship with the Sun family. When other cities were in ruins, Pingyang was still prosperous. The reason was that the Sun family once lived here. Sun Renluan felt that he would go back sooner or later, so he secretly helped the prefect of Pingyang.
The reason why Qu Yunmie came to Pingyang some time ago was to see the prefect for the sake of Sun Renluan. Qu Yunmie would not go south until all the Xianbei people were dead, so the relationship between the two sides seems to be quite harmonious at present.
Some people in Nanyong hope that the imperial court will be strong enough to lead them back to the capital, while some people realize that the imperial court is truly hopeless, so they look for another wise leader and place their hopes on the new master.
