The First Tyrant of Daxia

Unexpectedly, she had to wait for a whole day.

Outside, the wind and snow were blowing, and inside the hall, there was a faint fragrance in the air and the brazier was burning brightly. Qin Yun was reluctant to leave Dugu Jin.

Around afternoon.

Dugu Jin really couldn't stand it anymore, so he coaxed Qin Yun with thousands of words and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Yun did not continue to pester her. He tidied the quilt for her, kissed the back of her smooth feet, put on his clothes, and went out to get some fresh air.

"Your Majesty, are you up?" Old Feng appeared from nowhere.

Qin Yun was used to it, he was actually his own "shadow"!

"Mr. Feng, what you said makes me sound absurd and unreasonable, as if the sun and the moon are turned upside down." He joked.

Old Feng grinned, his face wrinkled. “That’s fine. Your Majesty, you have won the battle, so you should enjoy yourself. No matter what you do, I will support you.”

"Although there are already several princes and princesses in the imperial capital, and the number will reach ten after the new year, it is still too few."

"Not long ago, I took the initiative to select twenty of the most beautiful women from the Jurchen harem and the wives and daughters of Jurchen kings, princes and generals. They are either beautiful women or virgins."

"This time when we return to the imperial capital, I will bring it back to serve His Majesty."

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled embarrassedly. “No one knows me better than Old Feng.”

"I didn't say anything, and I didn't do anything."

Old Feng grinned and said, "Yes, yes, it was my own decision, and your Majesty is not aware of this matter."

Qin Yun was trying to hold back his laughter and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know what was going on. As the days passed and the imperial power became more and more powerful, he began to become a little self-indulgent.

When I see someone else’s, I want to grab it.

When I see something beautiful, I want it.

Do whatever makes it stimulating.

He knew this was not a good idea, but the conditions did not allow it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Commander Zhu Rong is still here and has not left." Only then did Old Feng remember the important matter.

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Didn't leave?"

"where?"

Old Feng pointed to a corner of the square under the corridor, which was shrouded in night and snowflakes.

Qin Yun looked over with his eyes wide open. If it wasn't for Old Feng pointing it out, he wouldn't have even recognized it as Zhu Rong as he passed by, and would have thought it was a pillar.

He hurried down the steps and approached quickly.

Feng Lao and other guards stopped twenty steps away.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you leave?" Qin Yun frowned and saw that her sable robe was completely covered with snowflakes. Even her long eyelashes were covered with snowflakes, which was quite beautiful.

It would be strange if he didn't get frozen. When Li Mu gave birth to Qin Xiao, she caught a cold and was in poor health for a year or two.

Zhu Rong took a deep breath, blinked his eyelids, and snowflakes fell off.

It looked like a sculpture revived, his eyes were cold and he seemed a little unhappy: "Of course I am waiting here for Your Majesty."

Qin Yun patted the snow off her body and asked, "Are you not cold?"

"I am from the Zhu family. We have been rolling around in the ice and snow since we were young and are not afraid of the cold." She raised her rebellious head, as if to prove that she was no worse than anyone else.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "When you were rolling around as a kid, did you wear clothes or not?"

Zhu Rong did not answer, nor was she in the mood to joke. She was not too embarrassed or angry. She did not have the reserve of the women in the Central Plains, or even Dugu Jin.

Unable to hold back any longer, I got straight to the point, even with a hint of questioning.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing I cannot understand. Why can Zhuo Lulan be so powerful and take charge of the Jurchen Military Affairs Bureau again?"

"but me……"

Qin Yun turned around, looked at Mingyue and Xuehua, and interrupted, "There are no Jurchens now. It is Daxia's military supervisor. The division of territory and the division of prefectures and counties will be issued soon."

Zhu Rong immediately changed his words: "Yes, it was my humble servant who made a mistake in his words."

"I know what you want to say, but this time you are more direct. You are dissatisfied that you did not get the territory and power you wanted."

"You think you pledged your loyalty earlier than Zhuo Lulan and did more than her, but all you got was wealth and fame."

"You have a strong character and can't stand this gap. If I don't give you an explanation, you would rather be marginalized, right?"

Qin Yun spoke repeatedly, his tone neither light nor heavy, appearing as steady as a rock.

When Zhu Rong heard this, he suddenly had no place to vent his dissatisfaction. He secretly gritted his teeth like a lioness.

I thought to myself, you knew it, why didn’t you tell me earlier and let me guess!

rustling...

Qin Yun stepped on the snow and looked back at her, as if he knew all her emotions: "I am not not mentioning you, but I am protecting you."

"Too much power, you can't control it."

"Besides, if the title is too high, there will be nothing to be given, and you will have nothing to ask for. Will that cause disunity?"

Zhu Rong clenched his fists, his eyebrows raised: "Your Majesty, do you think I am a traitor?"

Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "No."

"What is that? It's because I didn't make His Majesty happy like Dugu Jin, and I didn't devote myself like Zhuo Lulan?" Zhu Rong widened his eyes and said angrily.

Qin Yun's forehead was covered with black lines. He turned around and looked at her, very seriously and calmly: "No!"

"Some things are hard for you to understand. The Jurchens don't have this kind of culture either. I don't blame you."

"But Wanyan Honglie is a good example. Do you think he wanted to betray in the beginning?"

"You don't want it, but your subordinates and trusted followers do!"

"You don't want to do it now, but as time goes by, the erosion of power may make you rebel. It's not that you are rebellious, but it's human nature!"

"There is no need for me to put you on the brink of danger."

"Besides, I have preserved the integrity of your elephant army to the greatest extent possible. You should be satisfied."

Zhu Rong remained silent, his eyes flickering, as if he understood but not quite.

Finally, he reluctantly asked, "What about them?"

"Will they not be corrupted by power?"

Qin Yun blurted out: "Do you think they have such terrifying abilities as the Xiang Army?"

Suddenly, she was speechless.

The red cannons, the only natural enemy of the elephant army, could not penetrate the Jurchen territory for the time being, unless the pipelines were repaired.

But in fact, there was one more reason that Qin Yun didn't say. Dugu Jin was truly unreserved towards him. Zhuo Lulan might not be that pure, but she was definitely conquered.

The wind and snow are howling, and the moonlight is bright white.

A long time, a long time.

Zhu Rong was dejected, with no emotion on his beautiful face from a foreign land: "Okay."

Qin Yun saw that she was disappointed, and he didn't want an important army leader under his command to be like this, so he put a hand on her shoulder and said, "But I assure you, the Elephant Army has a chance to swallow mountains and rivers and defeat the enemy!"

"You still have a chance to go to the battlefield. When I think it's appropriate, I will give you the elephant army habitat you want."

"Now, the merits are not enough. It's not enough."

Zhu Rong felt a numbness in his shoulders for some reason and felt uncomfortable, as if a bug was crawling on them.

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Qin Yun. She was a little unsure whether Qin Yun was encouraging her or hinting at something.

"Your Majesty, do you keep your word?"

"Of course that counts. I never lie to women!" Qin Yun's eyes were calm and serious.
