This meeting room could originally accommodate about 30 people, but now it was no longer enough. Gao Xunzhi had no choice but to remove all the chairs, so when discussing matters, everyone had to stand. …
Not everyone was standing. There were four chairs in the front, which were proposed by Yu Shaoxie to accommodate older officials like Gao Xunzhi. Yang Zangyi was older than Gao Xunzhi, so he also got one to sit on. Among the other two, one belonged to the Buddhist. After all, his identity and status were unique, and no one had any objection to him sitting there.
The fourth seat was temporarily occupied by Yu Shaoxie. Song Shuo tried to snatch it from him twice but failed.
Today, Xiao Rong and Yu Shaoxie walked in together. Mi Jing was originally sitting in the first seat on the left, but when he saw Xiao Rong, he stood up and moved to the second chair.
Yu Shaoxie also pushed Xiao Rong and asked him to sit in that seat.
Xiao Rong turned around and winked at Yu Shaoxie without being polite to him. Anyway, once the palace was built and the Zichen Hall was tidied up, the seating arrangement still had to be rearranged.
Qu Yunmie appeared, and Xiao Situ, who had almost no sense of existence, also appeared. Many people were confused about what the status of Xiao Situ was. If you say he was important, he didn't participate in anything at the beginning of the founding of the country. If you say he was unimportant, he would always rank first.
As soon as Song Suo came in, he heard these people discussing Xiao Rong's name. Song Suo went to the palace to supervise the work today and did not come back all day. As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the palace, he heard the news that Xiao Rong was back. But before he could go to Xiao Rong to act coquettishly and stamp his feet, the order from His Majesty came again.
He didn't even care about what the group of people were saying. Looking at Xiao Rong, he walked over quickly with excitement. But just when he was about to touch Xiao Rong, Yu Shaoxie grabbed him and pulled him to dance on the spot. His eyes blurred and after turning half a circle, he found himself standing obediently on Yu Shaoxie's right hand side.
Song Shuo: “…………”
He looked at Yu Shaoxie in shock, and Yu Shaoxie looked at him calmly, not wanting to explain to him.
Their Yu family is a family of military generals. Even if he is a scholar, it doesn't mean he doesn't know any martial arts.
Well, the actual reason is that Song Suo is too weak. In the entire palace, he can only beat Chen. ...
Song Suo opened his mouth and was about to argue with Yu Shaoxie, but Qu Yunmie had already come out. The same routine was followed as before. Everyone bowed respectfully. This time Xiao Rong still did not stand up, but he supported his head with a relaxed attitude. It was obvious that he did so on purpose.
He raised his eyelids and had a brief eye contact with Qu Yunmie. No one knew what they exchanged. Anyway, a second later, they moved apart. Xiao Rong lowered his eyes to look at the new jade pendant on his waist, while Qu Yunmie was responsible for throwing bombs throughout the conference room.
"I want to get married. Prime Minister Gao will be in charge of the details."
When this was said, the whole room was shocked, because everyone knew that Qu Yunmie was a bachelor, he didn't even have a maid, so even if others wanted to train spies, they could only train men. ...
In an instant, whispers broke out. Everyone exchanged information in uncertainty, and then realized that none of them had a clue. In comparison, the front was relatively quiet. Even Yang Zangyi sat there calmly, as if he was not affected at all.
That's not the case. Yang Zangyi is as steady as an old dog, but some people are so scared that their eyes are about to pop out.
Song Shuo's eyes widened, and he no longer held a grudge. He pulled Yu Shaoxie's sleeve and kept asking him, "Married?! With whom, which girl from aristocratic family? I thought His Majesty went to pursue Xiao Rong, could it be that he didn't go at all? Then how did Xiao Rong come back? He couldn't have come back alone, right?! Why don't you say anything? Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Yu Shaoxie: “…”
He asked numbly, "Didn't anyone tell you what happened the night before Xiao Rong left Chenliu?"
Song Suo was stunned: "Ah? What are these two things related to each other? Jian Qiao told me that Xiao Rong wanted to leave, but His Majesty wouldn't let him. He also said something like "You don't have me in your heart..."
With just this one sentence, Song Shuo's brain circuit was still unable to figure out the truth. After all, he had a very good relationship with Xiao Rong, and sometimes he would say similar words to tease Xiao Rong, although the ending was usually that he was beaten by Xiao Rong.
But after combining Qu Yunmie's words today with Yu Shaoxie's reaction, Song Shuo finally got the hang of it. ...It's really not easy.
Yu Shaoxie looked at Song Shuo who was stunned by the shock. He patted Song Shuo on the shoulder, turned around and continued to look up.
Since they couldn't come to a conclusion from the discussion, naturally someone would ask Qu Yunmie for details. At this time, they had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and still thought that this was a good thing. After all, men would marry wives one, two, and three. After marrying a queen, they could also send their own girls into the palace to be concubines.
There were even people with greater ambitions. They tentatively asked Qu Yunmie whether he would marry a queen or a concubine, hoping that Qu Yunmie would hesitate and demote the unknown woman to a concubine.
Qu Yunmie's reaction was to glare at the man. He felt that this man had something wrong with his brain. He said they were getting married, so can taking a concubine be called a marriage?
Originally, Qu Yunmie could not remember him, but this time he could not forget him at all. He did not care what official position others held, but he wanted to send this man to exile in Khitan. …………
Not only did he receive a glare from Qu Yunmie, but he also felt a sudden chill on his back. The man lowered his head and said no more.
Once someone stepped on the landmine, the others knew that Qu Yunmie was serious, or that he was in high spirits, and they knew what to do. They could not spoil Qu Yunmie's interest. Anyway, this was the early days of the founding of the country, and the queen did not necessarily need to come from a noble family. It would even be better to have a commoner queen, so that they could control "her" in the future.
In an instant, they had all thought of how to use this queen who had not yet shown her face. They would oppose first, and then reluctantly give in, letting the queen know that she was unworthy. If there were any problems in the court in the future, they could also use this excuse: When the queen was established, we had already given in a lot, and your majesty should do this...
It's exciting just thinking about it, because Qu Yunmie is an emperor without weaknesses. They can't control him, so naturally they can only start with the people around him. But all the members of Qu's family are dead, and the Buteu tribe is a very sensitive topic. It's easy to make enemies if you don't handle it well. This queen who suddenly appeared is like pie in the sky. You'd be a fool not to take advantage of it!
Xiao Rong watched these people's faces trembling with interest. Although he didn't know what they were thinking, it was definitely not a good thing.
His posture became more and more lazy, and his interest became more and more high. When people saw him like this, they immediately turned their eyes away in disgust.
What's the use of having a good-looking appearance, if you are just a flatterer inside.
He had never seen Xiao Rong speak, but he had already determined that Xiao Rong got his position by flattering others. …
At this time, someone asked who Queen Qu Yunmie was and what family she came from. The man quickly pricked up his ears. Although there was no girl in his family who could be sent to the palace, he was also curious about what kind of fairy could catch Qu Yunmie's eye.
Then Qu Yunmie said a name that everyone had heard of: "The eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Rong." Boom! - An invisible mushroom cloud rose in the conference room. Compared with this news, atomic bombs and the like were still a little weak. ...
For a full ten seconds, no one spoke. They stared at Xiao Rong blankly, and the latter pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and finally gave them a response.
Xiao Rong leaned half of his body out so that everyone could see him, and then smiled brightly at everyone.
Everyone: “…………”
Xiao Rong's smile seemed to have turned on a switch. In an instant, they became excited and asked Qu Yunmie to take back his order. One of them knelt down, and the others immediately followed suit. They banged their heads on the ground. Those who didn't know would think that Qu Yunmie was going to do something against the will of heaven.
Qu Yunmie was not naive. He knew that he was bound to be opposed, but he did not expect that seeing this scene with his own eyes would be so glaring. So many people, almost everyone except Gao Xunzhi and others, were trying to stop him from being with Xiao Rong. In their eyes, Xiao Rong was like some kind of plague god. If they had any contact with him, the whole world would be over.
