Chapter 0155 Vacation
Because Qu Yunmie was still injured, most of the outside affairs were handed over to several generals.
The capture of Jinling does not mean that the entire Nanyong has been successfully captured. Someone will still be needed to visit those cities one by one.
It took two days for the unrest in Jinling to be completely quelled. When Xiao Rong had some time off, he arranged matters for his return to Chenliu.
The little emperor, Sun Renluan, Yang Zangyi and others all followed them, and their destinations would be arranged later.
After the New Year, the little emperor was already nine years old. This was his first time leaving Jinling. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never come back again in his life.
Xiao Rong sat in the carriage, opened the window and watched He Fu being helped onto another carriage. He had visited Yang Zangyi and Sun Renluan, but he had never visited the former emperor of the highest status. The main reason was that there was no need. He Fu had nothing worth using. If he went to see He Fu, He Fu would probably ask him to do something.
It’s such a hassle, so it’s better not to meet.
After closing the window, Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie who was sleeping with his eyes closed. He had not talked to Xiao Rong much in the past two days. It was not that he ignored Xiao Rong intentionally, but he was simply in a bad mood and did not want to talk. Xiao Rong knew the reason for his bad mood, but he never comforted Qu Yunmie from beginning to end, nor did he give him a reassurance.
He sat with his eyes down for a while, then he shook out the blanket beside him and covered Qu Yunmie with it.
Qu Yunmie's eyelids twitched and he opened his eyes. He was about to fall asleep, so his reaction was a little slow at this moment. In his eyes, Xiao Rong seemed very gentle. He looked at him with a very tiny arc at the corner of his lips. Xiao Rong looked at him like this, as if Xiao Rong would give him whatever he wanted.
Then he blinked slowly, and Xiao Rong turned around to get the hot tea on the stove. When Xiao Rong turned back, he still had the same expression, but that feeling had disappeared.
Qu Yunmie felt like he was going crazy. This crazy was not an adjective, but meant that he was really sick, crazy. Even though Xiao Rong was still here, he was already so worried that he even had hallucinations. …………
Now everyone has changed their way of addressing him. They no longer call him King Qu Yunmie, but call him His Majesty. The reign title has been decided, but the country's name has not yet been decided. The imperial palace still only has a foundation, and it is estimated that the prototype will be completed next month.
The country cannot be without a king for a day. The longer it delays, the easier it is to make mistakes. So even if there is no palace, Qu Yunmie has to take action.
Gao Xunzhi has ordered them to speed up the construction of the altar. This is the most important thing. The imperial palace can be moved later, but the altar must be built before the coronation ceremony.
The Taoists in Chenliu were gathering together to observe an auspicious day. One or two months later, it would be the day when Qu Yunmie would ascend the throne.
Everyone must have been busy as hell in the next two months. When in Jinling, Xiao Rong also roughly mentioned the things that needed to be done, such as appointing officials and titles, and counting the world. They had no foundation at all, so they had to start from scratch. This was when Yang Zangyi could be of great use, but the old man was still struggling and did not give the Zhenbei Army an accurate answer.
Qu Yunmie originally thought that Xiao Rong would do it himself, working non-stop in the carriage, writing and drawing in the book every day, but that didn't happen.
From the moment he got on the carriage, Xiao Rong either drank tea, slept, or opened the window to look at the scenery outside.
Qu Yunmie had never seen Xiao Rong so leisurely in his life.
The entire journey was spent like this, and when they returned to Chenliu, Xiao Rong was still like this. He assigned all the tasks to others and didn't say a word during meetings. Later on, he simply didn't go.
At first, only Qu Yunmie noticed his appearance, but later everyone noticed it. Except for Old Madam Xiao, no one in the palace was confused. Xiao Rong's attitude of letting it go made many people start to feel nervous.
But everyone was indeed busy, so for a while, no one had time to ask Xiao Rong what was going on. Only the children who didn't have to work could come and visit him during the day.
Xiao Rong sat in the corridor looking at the map. The same place, but after it changed its name, Xiao Rong could not recognize it. He had been to many cities before. Now the cities have become towns, and their status and style are also very different.
Xiao Rong was watching intently and didn't hear the footsteps approaching. It was not until the child's voice was heard that Xiao Rong's attention was drawn to it.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Rong looked up and found that it was Dan Ran. Dan Ran had grown taller recently, and his originally thin body was almost as thin as a bamboo pole. He smiled and put the map aside so that Dan Ran could also see it: "This is a map of the Central Plains. The grassland has not been drawn in yet, but look here."
Xiao Rong pointed to the area of Buxian Mountain and said, "This is Liaodong County. Buxian Mountain is located here. Your hometown, Yannu Lake, is roughly here, northeast of Liaodong."
