They thought that a good opportunity was when Qu Yunmie went to attack the Xianbei. They were prepared to take advantage of the opportunity and directly block Qu Yunmie and his army outside the Great Wall.
This is exactly what happened in the official history. After Qu Yunmie defeated the Xianbei, he turned around and found that he had been stabbed in the back. He was furious and immediately fought back. Those trash from Nanyong didn't even have the ability to resist for a while. In less than ten days, they were all driven back to the south of the Huai River.
Fortunately, something else happened at that time and occupied Qu Yunmie's attention. Otherwise, he might have crossed the Huai River and broke into the Nanyong Palace at that time.
But the difference was not big. Half a year later, Qu Yunmie made a comeback, and most of these people died at his hands.
Who can predict the future? These people don't know how naive they are. They really think that this plan of taking advantage of the situation is a good one. Who knows what Qu Yunmie is thinking? Doesn't he hate Xianbei the most? He can put everything aside to fight Xianbei. Why did he suddenly change?
It's so annoying. It would be great if I could take your revenge. ...
Yanmen County was not in chaos yet, but there was chaos outside. However, the news was delayed at this time, and Xiao Rong and others did not know about it for the time being. Jian Qiao hurried back and told Qu Yunmie what he had seen and heard. Gao Xunzhi and Xiao Rong sat aside and listened, asking questions from time to time.
Gao Xunzhi: "Is there a suitable place to build a palace?"
Jian Qiao opened his mouth to answer, but Qu Yunmie said, "There is no rush to build the palace."
Xiao Rong also chimed in: "Your Majesty is the King of Zhenbei. No matter where you live, it can be called a royal palace. Prime Minister, there is no need to select a site and start construction now. There are many variables in the future. It won't be too late to rebuild it after the world is stable."
Gao Xunzhi: “…”Okay.
He changed the question: "Is there a place suitable for the king to live?"
Jian Qiao opened his mouth for a long time. Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, he nodded repeatedly: "The original Yuzhou Governor's Mansion is empty. There is also a large marquis' mansion that has been occupied by the Chenliu Prefect. He and his family are living there."
Qu Yunmie: "Let him move away."
Jian Qiao: “…Yes.”
Xiao Rong nodded and said, "Then the Marquis' Mansion will be used as a temporary royal palace, and the Governor's Mansion will be used for meetings. Since the King has gone there, there is no need to worry about the Chenliu Governor. How can the capital of the Zhenbei King still have a Governor? He should be changed to Chenliu Yin."
Jian Qiao didn't know much about official positions. He listened blankly, only knowing that Xiao Rong wanted to remove the former governor. He couldn't help but ask, "Who should be the Chenliu Yin?"
Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong spoke at the same time: "He/I."
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
Jian Qiao: “…”
Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, but he was the first to react and smiled at Qu Yunmie: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I was thinking of recommending myself, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to save me the trouble. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely govern Chenliu well and make it the most prosperous and strongest city in the Central Plains."
Qu Yunmie looked at him and hummed nonchalantly.
Gao Xunzhi also looked at him, his expression a little confused. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to see a cake flying out. ...
Xiao Rong continued to ask Jian Qiao: "How many forces are there in Chenliu City? Are they complicated?"
Jian Qiao replied: "Apart from the governor, there are a few wealthy families operating in the area. From what I have seen, they don't seem to be that happy about the king's upcoming move of the capital."
When Qu Yunmie heard this, he wanted to sneer. No matter where he went, it would be the turn of some powerful families to make comments.
Xiao Rong laughed, "This is inevitable. Those noble families have lived in Chenliu City for generations, and the invasion of the Hu people did not force them to move away. This shows that they are tied to Chenliu and cannot be separated. Under such circumstances, no matter who takes over Chenliu City, they will not be happy. They wish there were no government above them."
Gao Xunzhi frowned, "Some powerful families can compete with the noble families. They are really hard to manage. If we take action against them, most of the industries in the city will be controlled by them, which will easily cause civil unrest. If we leave them alone, it will encourage their arrogance, and many things will be difficult to do in the future."
Xiao Rong nodded, "That's right, so I've already thought of a countermeasure. The wealthy families only want money and stability, and the king happens to be in need of people who can make profits. The wealthy families don't want the king to move the capital now because they think the king will share the profits with them. If they knew that the king would not only not share, but also let them make more money, they would change their faces. Prime Minister, there is no real mediocrity in this world. Even the wealthy families, as long as they are used well, can become a sword pointing at the noble families."
At this point, Xiao Rong turned around and asked Jian Qiao, "Is there no aristocratic family in Chenliu City?"
Jian Qiao: "There are two, but they are not from the main family, but branches of the main family."
Xiao Rong blinked and said "oh".
Since they are not our family, we cannot use the methods we used against our family.
Gao Xunzhi didn't expect that Xiao Rong, as a child of an aristocratic family, could deal with aristocratic families so easily. He was curious and wanted to know what was going on. Just as Xiao Rong was about to explain, Qu Yunmie, who had not been able to get a word in for a long time, suddenly coughed heavily.
The two men immediately looked up, and Xiao Rong asked him, "What's wrong with the king? Did you catch a cold?"
Qu Yunmie then felt a little relieved. He lowered his eyes and was about to say it was no big deal when a guard suddenly rushed in from outside.
He clasped his fists and apologized, then looked at Xiao Rong: "Mr. Xiao, the scouts have sent a message and found the trace of the Buddha!"
Xiao Rong stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Really?! Quick, quick, where is the scout? Take me to see him!"
With that, Xiao Rong left quickly, his steps were so fast that it was obvious that he was very concerned. Gao Xunzhi and Jian Qiao watched his back disappear outside the door, then turned around at the same time and stared blankly at Qu Yunmie.
Qu Yunmie’s face darkened: “…” Another Buddhist disciple!
