Chapter 0164 I will teach him
After the coronation ceremony, Qu Yunmie moved to the new palace.
It is almost March now, and the construction of the imperial palace is still the same. Everyone worked hard to build the altar and Xuanzheng Hall before the coronation ceremony, at least to ensure that the coronation ceremony can proceed smoothly. Afterwards, they worked overtime to build the Hanyuan Hall and Zichen Hall.
In an imperial palace, the most important places are the three main halls, and the central axis is the most frequently used place. The rest can be taken care of slowly, especially the harem. For the current Yan Dynasty, the harem is the least important place.
In the whole world, the only person who is suitable to live in the harem is Sang Yan. With Qu Yunmie's enthronement, Sang Yan also jumped from an inconspicuous woman running around with a medicine box on her back to the most noble woman in the world. However, she only dealt with the enthronement ceremony, then quickly took off her phoenix crown and gorgeous clothes, and went out to find Agusega without saying a word.
When it comes to the question of where to live, Agusega is even more stubborn than Sang Yan. She firmly disagrees to move into the palace, even if Qu Yunmie lets other tribesmen move in. In Agusega's view, the wall is a cursed thing. Living within the wall will not only trap them, but also their souls and future.
What's more, after Qu Yunmie became emperor, he was different from before. Agusega didn't want to abide by his rules, nor did he want him to be caught in the middle.
Qu Yunmie had no way to deal with Luo Wu since he was a child. He was not an eloquent person, so he soon stopped talking.
Seeing that Qu Yunmie was at a disadvantage, Xiao Rong simply acted as a peacemaker. He proposed to allocate a mountain in Chenliu to the Butewu tribe, and have people plan the mountain well. There would be no fence at the foot of the mountain, but there would be sentries. After all, the Butewu tribe had few people, and they were Qu Yunmie's maternal tribe anyway. As the emperor, he could not just ignore it.
When they first arrived in Chenliu, the Butewu tribe lived in the mountains, but that mountain was bare and there was nothing on it. When they first went up there, they could only live in tents. At that time, Xiao Rong had too many things to do and could not spare the time to help them. Now it is different. Xiao Rong plans to find a beautiful mountainous area, part of which will be for the Butewu tribe to live in, and the other part will be used as a royal garden and hunting ground. This will respect the habits of the Butewu tribe and will not sever the relationship between the two sides.
Agusega had no objection, and neither did the rest of the tribe. They even started packing their bags and preparing to move that day. Although Xiao Rong said that he would build them a grand house on the mountain, they felt that since it was their home, they could go there earlier and help build the house sooner. …
There is not a single woman in the entire imperial palace, which is unprecedented. Most of the palace maids from the previous dynasty have fled, and those who did not escape have been dismissed. Xiao Rong still wants to recruit some more palace maids. After all, there will be ladies and other female relatives entering the palace in the future, and he can't let men serve them.
But Qu Yunmie said that they should bring their own maids, otherwise he would not care.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Qu Yunmie said it in a decisive manner, but he didn't explain a word. He didn't need to explain. Xiao Rong knew why he did it after just one look at him. He thought to himself, once your sexual orientation changes, you can never go back. If you really want to be on guard, then you should be on guard against men...
But Xiao Rong did not say these words out loud, because he was afraid that if he said them, the stubborn Qu Yunmie would really dismiss the eunuchs. By then, the entire palace of 300 hectares would be occupied by only the two of them, and sweeping the floor would take them a whole year.
By then, the name he left to future generations would not be the first male queen in history, but the first queen in history who died from exhaustion from sweeping the streets. …
While there was blood and gore outside, there was peace inside the palace. The imperial edict had been sent out, the three books and six ceremonies were almost completed, and the wedding ceremony was getting closer. Xiao Rong did not show any intention of regretting at all, and Qu Yunmie was extremely happy and was friendly to everyone he met.
When someone asked to see him, he showed no impatience at all. He immediately stood up calmly and walked out with a clear mind.
Xiao Rong was sitting by the window handling official business. Seeing his frivolous appearance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and imitated Aguse and said, "Silly bird."
Ah Shu stood beside Xiao Rong and nodded frantically upon hearing this. …
Qu Yunmie was rarely called out alone. Usually, others would ask to see both him and Xiao Rong at the same time. Xiao Rong did not think much of it, thinking that this person was here to show off and flatter him. Qu Yunmie also did not think much of it, as he thought someone had finally recognized his value as an emperor.
As a result, the man burst into tears when he saw Qu Yunmie, and knelt on the ground with a thud, confusing Qu Yunmie at first. Then he revealed his identity: a veteran of five dynasties, a descendant of a certain prime minister and duke, the last disciple of a certain great Confucian scholar, and an absolutely loyal minister who was devoted to the emperor.
He said these things to show that he was an important person. Although he had almost become a transparent person in the new dynasty, he really had a great background!
Qu Yunmie frowned as he listened to him, not understanding what he meant. ... And the old man didn't know, he continued to speak with tears in his eyes, in his description, he was an old man who was frustrated, he had seen the decline of the Yong Dynasty a long time ago, but he was powerless to do anything, he knew that the real dragon had appeared when Qu Yunmie became famous, but the situation was complicated at that time, he couldn't go there, so he had to stay in Nanyong and continue to wait.
Finally, he had waited for the right time, and his old bones could make full use of their remaining energy. Alas, at his age, what else did he care about? He would say what others dared not say, and do what others dared not do, because he knew that Qu Yunmie was the one destined by heaven, so he would risk his life to protect Qu Yunmie and the new Yan Dynasty!
At this time, Qu Yunmie had already realized what he was going to say, but he had a kind of fluke mentality, always feeling that no one would be so bad, so he did not interrupt this person.
I have to say that this old man is quite powerful. He spoke very sincerely and put himself in the position of a dying man and an elder. As everyone knows, Qu Yunmie has no father or mother. Such a person must be lacking in love, otherwise he would not be so doted on by that male demon Xiao Rong.
And he was smart enough not to say anything bad about Xiao Rong. On the contrary, he said a lot of good things about Xiao Rong. He affirmed Xiao Rong's achievements, praised Xiao Rong's age, and then he praised Xiao Rong to the utmost, making him almost like a god. Then, he made a turn.
"…I am grateful for what Master Xiao has done. Even if I were young again, I would never be Master Xiao's opponent. Not only me, but I am afraid there is no one in the world more powerful than Master Xiao. I am very pleased to have such a person by your side, but——"
He sighed deeply, "Your Majesty is about to get married, and I don't know how long I can live. I am afraid that I will not see the day when the Yan Dynasty, which was established with great difficulty, will truly prosper. So today, as a person who has experienced it, I dare to say a few words to Your Majesty. Time flies, people's hearts change easily, Your Majesty, please do your utmost to preserve the foundation of the Yan Dynasty and guard the throne of the Qu family!"
After saying that, he started crying again. He knocked his head on the ground sadly, and felt that everything should be fine.
After all, every word he said was for Qu Yunmie's sake. What is a person who has everything afraid of the most? Isn't it that he has nothing? That's why emperors of all dynasties are suspicious, afraid that others will harm them. He believes that Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong really have feelings for each other, otherwise they would not have reached the stage of marriage, but no matter how strong the feelings are, they are nothing in front of interests. He thinks that Qu Yunmie must have thought about these words privately, but he didn't think too much about them. Now he took the initiative to bring this up. Even if he doesn't care today, he will still think of what he said today again when Xiao Rong has a disagreement with him in the future.
Humph, he didn't care whether he could see the day when the Yan Dynasty truly prospered, he just wanted to see the day when Xiao Rong fell.
His aunt's family was driven out of Chenliu, his cousin even lost his life, and his own three children were all eliminated from officialdom. However, he was a member of Yang Zangyi's faction. Without Yang Zangyi's support, he had no way to take revenge on Xiao Rong.
After thinking it over, he still couldn't swallow this humiliation, especially when he thought that he would have to call Xiao Rong "Empress Xiao" after the wedding. He was really sick of it, so he came up with this idea and came to put pressure on Xiao Rong.
If he succeeds, he will succeed. If he fails, he will be driven out by His Majesty. The worst case scenario is that his whole family will be driven out of Chenliu. Anyway, his family has no future, so he doesn't care about these things.
This man has thought of every aspect, even the personalities of Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie. Xiao Rong cares about his reputation, so he will never do anything extreme, while Qu Yunmie values friendship and loyalty, and he will give preferential treatment to those who truly do good for him.
The only thing is that he didn't do a good job of research.
