Chapter 344 My Palace
Yan Fuyao closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said,
"The Liang people are rude and barbaric, greedy and warlike, but their population is small and their national strength is weak, so they pose little threat.
Qi was the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and a country of etiquette, but it also had a strong national power, a large population, and a strong military.
If we give the three counties to Qi, Qi is a country of etiquette and gentlemen, and it will turn around and give half of them to Liang. Then the two countries will live in peace and jointly deal with us.
But if we give it to Liang, given Liang's greedy and barbaric nature, it will definitely not give half of these three counties to Qi. This will cause dissatisfaction in Qi, and then we will secretly instigate the two countries to fight.
The key is, who are we helping to fight against whom?"
Shen Changgong sneered and said,
"Is that even a question? Has Your Majesty ever hunted?"
"I used to go hunting with the late emperor and his guards, and I can also shoot arrows."
"Well, now before your majesty are two prey, one strong, one weak, and they are fighting. Which one will you shoot first?"
"Of course you should shoot the stronger one first. While they're fighting, you should get rid of the stronger one first and then the weaker one.
The strong ones are dead, and the weak ones are no longer a threat.
But if I kill the weak one first, I will have to face the strong one alone."
Shen Changgong snapped his fingers and said,
"That's the reason. Qi was strong, and Liang was weak. Liang sent 400,000 people to attack Kun, almost mobilizing the entire nation's strength. Yet, it took them half a year to wipe out the Kun people.
However, the State of Qi still had some strength left and did not use its full strength at all.
What's more, we want to give land to Liang State and provoke Qi State, so we will naturally help Liang State.
It won’t be too late to destroy Liang after defeating Qi.
Therefore, our foreign policy from now on will be to humiliate Qi and Liang and sow discord.”
Yan Fuyao smiled with satisfaction, patted Shen Changgong's hand and said,
"You are truly a good wife."
"Isn't it the rebellion against Tian Gang again?"
Shen Changgong snorted coldly, and then said,
"It just so happens that the capital has been moved, and envoys from both countries are coming to our side. We both want to get married, so why not do it together?
Anyway, when we get married, their two countries will send envoys to congratulate us, so we can just send them invitations and ask them to come on the day."
"Hmm? Get married? When did I ever say I wanted to marry you?"
Yan Fuyao asked in surprise, with an unconcealable playfulness in her eyes.
Shen Changgong narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of dangerous light.
Then, his left hand quietly slid from the empress's shoulder to her waist, and then pinched it hard!
"what!"
The sudden strong itch made the empress lean to the right involuntarily, tightly pressed against Shen Changgong's arms.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll give you one more chance to organize your words. Will you marry me?"
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Then go back to Yan State and return to where you came from."
"Okay, okay, can't I marry you?"
Yan Fuyao snuggled in Shen Changgong's arms, raised her little face and looked at him, her eyes full of smiles and love.
Clear, pure, yet with a naughty playfulness.
The empress only reveals this lively side in front of Shen Changgong. In front of outsiders, she is always the domineering and majestic Emperor of Dayan.
It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. The two people were separated for several months, and the feelings between them did not diminish. Instead, they became deeper because of missing and worrying about each other.
The eunuch's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, we are now at the gate of the Imperial Palace. Should we go to the main hall or directly to the harem?"
Yan Fuyao opened the curtains and looked outside, and the cold wind howled in.
"Stop the car. I want to go down and take a look at the imperial palace of Dayan."
"As ordered."
The carriage stopped at the main gate of the palace.
The convoys behind also stopped.
Shen Changgong tied the rope of Yan Fuyao's cloak at her collar, then pulled her and walked outside.
Everyone got off the dragon chariot.
Fairy Meiyan said,
"You guys go check it out. I'm leaving now. Jiutian Building just moved in, and they don't know what to do."
Shen Changgong said,
“Someone will guide them and tell them how to arrange it, and you must trust your subordinates.
It’s almost evening, I’ve prepared hotpot for you, let’s have dinner together tonight.
There is a palace reserved for you in this palace."
"Why leave it for me? I don't live here."
"Even if you live in Jiutian Tower, you should come back occasionally. This is our home. Isn't there a place for you here?
Let’s go and take a walk together.”
Shen Changgong pulled her over.
A group of people walked on the white snow and entered the palace.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent palace, the tall walls with red paint and yellow roofs, and the neat and flat floor tiles under his feet, Yan Fuyao liked it the more he looked at it.
She liked it even more when she thought that she didn't build this place herself but snatched it from someone else.
Yan Fuyao is not a good person. She is also an ambitious monarch who likes to expand territory and plunder resources. Otherwise, she would not have hit it off with Shen Changgong.
This young couple are birds of a feather.
After entering the Golden Palace, Yan Fuyao stamped her feet, put her two small hands to her mouth and blew on them, saying,
"The palace of Kun State is huge. This is the style of a great country. This hall alone is more than twice as big as the one in Yan State.
Look at this pure gold dragon throne, it's so huge."
Yan Fuyao walked over to the dragon throne and sat on it. Looking at the magnificent hall, the white jade railings outside the door, the coiled dragon stairs and the huge square, he felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
"From now on, this will be the capital of Great Yan, the core of the entire world. I will rule the world from here!"
"Your Majesty will surely become the greatest emperor of all time!"
Shen Changgong complimented without missing an opportunity.
"Well, it's a bit cold. From now on, put a charcoal brazier here every night. This way, when the officials hold court meetings in the morning, they won't shiver from the cold. When they're warm, their brains will work faster.
Let's go and take a look at the imperial study and the harem."
The imperial study has far more things than the main hall in front. Shen Changgong and others have been working here for some time.
"These past two months have exhausted us to death. We've been waiting so long for you to finally come. All national affairs will be handed over to you in the future. I can finally relax and enjoy life.
Governing is more tiring than fighting a war.”
"No, you have to assist in the administration. I just came here and I don't know anything. I want to be lazy, but I can't do that."
"We have Xinyi and Wan'er, they both know where the things are, and Yuan Chu and Fang Lu are in front.
Tomorrow I want to sleep in, even the gods won't let me!"
"Look at your potential."
Afterwards, they wandered around several palaces in the harem. When it got dark, they went to the restaurant in the imperial kitchen to eat hot pot.
