Chapter 4: The Young Empress of the Great Liao (03)
Therefore, the midday nap was particularly important for the young emperor. In particular, today's Yeluxian's identity is no longer an idle prince of the idle Khitan royal family, but the emperor of the dignified Liao Empire!
As a young emperor who ascended the throne for more than a month after Mu Zong was killed, there are still too many things waiting for him to deal with inside and outside the court: the construction and burial of the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing; the arrangement of important personnel in the imperial court after Mu Zong; the handling of the assassination of Muzon; the combing of the relationship between the Liao royal family, the pacification of the various tribal forces within the Liao State and the conquered ethnic groups in the remote areas of the Liao State; the handling of the relationship between the Khitan and Han ethnic groups in the Liao Dynasty; the Liao State and the Liu Han Kingdom in Taiyuan under the wing of the Liao Dynasty, the Zhao and Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, and the Li Jiqian faction in the southwest and the growing party clan; What is more urgent is that since the founding of the Great Liao, the four emperors, there have been two emperors and queens, including their father and mother, the bloody past always alerts the young emperor, how to prevent trouble, how to prevent this kind of thing from happening to him again, are all problems that he should solve, and even must be solved immediately.
All this, if there is no excellent energy, every day is full of opportunities, and even the foundation created by the emperors of the Great Liao Dynasty, especially Emperor Taizu Taizong, is absolutely impossible!
It is precisely because of this that after the young emperor Yeluxian got married, the empress, who was younger than him, specially issued a decree: "The emperor should take a nap in the morning, and no one should disturb him." "On the two old elm trees outside the old inner dormitory, there were a few summer cicadas that kept calling at noon, which disturbed the young emperor's lunch nap, and the young queen also deliberately let people climb the tree to drive away the nasty summer cicadas.
No, there was another cicada chirping on the tree. The young queen did not stop doing anything, and simply ordered the Praetorian Guards to cut down the two old elm trees, and only then did she completely settle the matter.
Of course, through this little thing, people inside and outside the Liao Palace also saw the courage and courage of the young queen for the first time!
At this moment, in the dormitory, through a jade screen, two palace maids of similar age waited with bated breath, for fear of disturbing the young emperor by making a little noise.
Outside the door of the dormitory, two new guards of the Great Liao Palace, who had just been initiated by the young Empress Xiao Yanyan and appointed by the young emperor Yeluxian, were in charge of the guards of the Great Liao Palace, the young generals of the Right Leather Room Army, who were founded in the Taizu period, wore crowns, wore armor, held spears, hung Khitan black sheath scimitars on their waists, and pedaled with black leather boots.
Less than a stone's throw from the dormitory, two columns of Praetorian Guards stood facing each other with scimitars in hand. The whole dormitory and outside were quiet, as if asleep.
