Chapter 1456 Pregnancy (3)
After receiving the emperor's summons, Duke Liguo came quickly. In the imperial study, Nangong Yi expressed his thoughts. As soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by Duke Liguo.
"Your Majesty, you must not do that. You have been on the throne for less than half a year. The country is turbulent and has not yet stabilized. The remnants of the former deposed prince are still eager to try, and the thoughts of the general who protects the country have not yet been figured out. If you leave the capital rashly like this, if someone notices and has evil intentions, have you thought about the consequences?"
Nangong Yi chuckled and said, "Why not? The country lasts for thousands of years, and the world is white. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will not change for thousands of years. I can only plan for a short hundred years. After a hundred years, I will be buried in the imperial mausoleum. The grand tomb is magnificent. The coffin will eventually decay, but the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will remain immortal. This country is like a dead thing. I planned it when I was alive, but it is difficult to keep it after death. When it decays, it will just add a handful of soil to this country. The queen and I have a hundred-year agreement. We can share sorrows and joys in life and be buried in the same coffin after death. Even if we turn into ashes, she and I will always be there, and we will never be lonely. So, if I must choose between the country and her, I will choose her! "
Nangong Yi stood in front of his grandfather, his posture was elegant and majestic, and he said loudly: "In In my eyes, she is much more important than my country and people! "
The old man was moved by his words and sighed: "Since your majesty has made up his mind, I can only do my best to help your majesty. However, the Khan of Liaodan is extremely brave, so your majesty must take care of yourself on this trip!"
"Thank you for your reminder, grandson will remember it!"
Nangong Yi explained the affairs of the palace, took Zhuifeng Zhuyue and Huanqiu and dozens of other hidden guards, and quietly left the palace at three o'clock in the night. , riding a fast horse towards Liaodan...
...
At this time, Liaodan was the coldest season of the year. The sky was cold and the ground was frozen. Water turned into ice. The sky and the earth were covered with white. The ground was frozen and cracked. The north wind blew like a knife. The streets of Shengjing seemed to be made of silver, shining and flashing with coldness. The whole Liaodan was frozen like a big block of ice. The mountains were trembling with cold, the rivers were frozen and stiff, and the air seemed to be solidified.
At this moment, the warmest house in the whole Liaodan was the one where Caiwei lived.
This was specially prepared by Saknu for her. It was spacious and luxurious. Even the Chenggan Palace where Nangong Yi and Caiwei lived during their wedding could not be compared with it. Not to mention the furniture inlaid with pearls and gems, the curtain worth a million gold, and the various priceless jewelry on the long dressing table, just the wall of this bedroom was very thoughtful.
The Liao and Dan were bitterly cold, and Saknu felt sorry for her weakness, so he specially ordered people to cast the walls of this palace into fire walls.
Fire walls are equipment that uses the smoke from the stove to heat the hollow walls made of bricks. Similar to kangs, they are a way for Liao and Dan nobles to keep warm. They have the advantages of long hot smoke flow in the wall, long heat storage time, high thermal efficiency, and uniform heat dissipation.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the waste of charcoal.
The noble families of Liao and Dan often choose smaller rooms to live in in winter in order to save charcoal. Silver charcoal is expensive. For example, the large palace where Caiwei lives has a fire wall burning twelve hours a day. The silver for burning silver charcoal alone is worth more than one thousand taels of silver. Although this huge sum of money is nothing to the Khan of Liao and Dan, the winter in Liao and Dan is long. Throughout the winter, it costs more than 100,000 taels of silver just to burn this fire wall, which is really extravagant!
In the magnificent and gorgeous palace, Caiwei was lying on a white fox fur mattress, soundly sleeping, as if she would never wake up.
