In the next few days, Yang Rui did not want to be disturbed by Yuan Shu's messengers, so he closed his doors and turned away all visitors, focusing on internal affairs.
At this time, whether it was the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu, or the other vassals, they all temporarily stopped fighting and reached a delicate state of balance.
For the time being, Cao Cao and the other Han Dynasty Emperors' camp did not have the spare strength to eliminate Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's military strength was also insufficient. Therefore, both sides wanted to avoid a direct battle with each other. The same was true for other warlords.
Due to the temporary break in fighting, Yang Rui's various territories were tight on the outside but relaxed on the inside. His subordinates were able to rest, and his family members also returned to Yang Rui's side.
Although it was a chaotic world, Yang Rui had a rare moment of peace.
Yang Rui, on the other hand, hoped that the plot before Yuan Shu became the emperor would continue for a while. It was not because he was greedy for the current situation, but because Yuan Shu's existence could indeed contain and divert a lot of the other warlords' energy. Yang Rui could also take the opportunity to adjust and develop more.
The temporary peace in the game allowed Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, Gao Shun, Du Yang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Bo Ji, Bian Xi, Han Fu, Fang Lan, and the other historical figures to have more time offline to understand the real world.
As for Zhang Ning, Cai Yan, Han Dai, Wei Xiu'er, Gan Qian, Mei Zhen, Ding Yao, and the other Lords, apart from spending time with Yang Rui and managing the Chamber of Commerce, they also spent most of their time with Diaochan, who Yang Rui had brought to the real world, to understand the situation in the real world.
Whether it was his subordinates or his family members, before they understood the situation in the real world, Yang Rui did not allow them to walk around in the real world. Instead, they stayed in the soul of the Mount Tai Palace.
As for the soul of the Mount Tai Palace, it was placed in the villa by Yang Rui. Normally, it was an irregular sand rock, so naturally, it would not be exposed in front of others.
"Lord, before this, we did not understand the world of the players and thought that the background of your world was very different from the game. As such, our living habits were also very different, and it was not convenient for us to persuade you.
Now that we have received Milord's grace, we have been sent to the real world. Through books and the internet, we have a general understanding of the real world. Only then can we confirm that a different person is still a person. We also have Dao, righteousness, emotions, and desires.
Today, the few of us will have to persuade the Lord a little more … "
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yang Rui went offline and prepared to relax for a while. As he strolled around the soul of the Mount Tai Palace and checked on everyone's daily lives, he thought about some things.
For example, how to change the supply to Yuan Shu to force him to hand over the six counties in Xu Province. At the same time, he was also estimating the effect of the blockade on Liu Bei and planning how to defeat him as soon as possible.
At this time, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You went to find Yang Rui.
Although the generals in the various regions were relaxed on the inside and tight on the outside, and had more time, when he saw Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You also logged out of the game, Yang Rui felt that there was something special going on.
Especially after hearing Cheng Yu's words, Yang Rui was even more certain that there was something important going on. Moreover, it was most likely related to Yang Rui.
"… The current little Emperor, Liu Xie, has already passed down an imperial edict, permitting my lord to travel with the Son of Heaven's Six Dragon Palanquins, and to live with the Son of Heaven's Everlasting Joy. We have come here to advise my lord to perfect her majestic lifestyle.
Cheng Yu continued.
"Just for this matter? You will all go offline to discuss it with me? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? "
Yang Rui said doubtfully. His words were straightforward.
"We are indeed here for this matter. However, we still need to discuss the details with Lord. Therefore, the four of us agreed to meet Lord together …"
Guo Jia and the others exchanged glances and said so.
"You really want to discuss this matter? As for the Six Dragon Palanquins, let the craftsmen make them. As for the Everlasting Joy, do you all think that we should imitate Luoyang Imperial City and Chang 'an Imperial City and build another city? "
Yang Rui looked doubtfully at Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You. He felt that the matter should not be so simple.
"Lord, this matter is related to prestige and prestige. Xun You thinks that Lord should indeed attach importance to it and fulfill it. You must know that the Emperor's prestige is the most important thing in the country. It is something that others can only look at but cannot obtain. Since Lord has such a condition, it is natural that he should make use of it properly. "
Xun You also spoke up. He seemed to mistakenly think that Yang Rui was evading the responsibility.
"Lord, Gongda's words are correct. Moreover, looking at Yuan Shu's urgency, it can be seen that prestige is important!
Just as Lord said, the Six Dragon Palanquins can be made by the craftsmen. The so-called Dragon Palanquins have fixed specifications. Senior level carpenters can naturally make them. Although the horse's fur color and physique are also strict, it is not a difficult matter.
As for the living quarters, there are some discrepancies in Milord's thinking. Actually, it's not that we want Milord to build the living quarters in the style of the Imperial City. Instead, it's more about family matters. It's also something we're here to discuss with Milord … "
Sun Qian also came out to persuade. Moreover, he made it clear that they had come to find Yang Rui to discuss Yang Rui's family matters!
"Oh? Family? Why do you say that? Is there anything wrong with my current nine Heavenly Mandate Wives that is improper? "
Speaking of family matters, Yang Rui frowned. Back then, it had been Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Sun Qian who had arranged the imperial wedding for him. He didn't know what was wrong.
"No, Lord must not misunderstand. Previously, the nine Heavenly Mandate Wives and seventy-two Heavenly Mandate Concubines were witnesses to the Son of Heaven's marriage. Naturally, there would be nothing improper.
However, at that time, Lord was still the Prefecture Overseer, and the gifts bestowed by the Emperor were insufficient. At this time, Lord has been conferred the title of King, and the Emperor has bestowed upon you the prestige of the Son of Heaven. Thus, there is still a need to make up for the family matters. "
Cheng Yu immediately took the opportunity to explain to Yang Rui in detail, and also put the true purpose of their visit on the table.
"Make up for it?"
Yang Rui was somewhat surprised.
"Of course it is. According to the 'Rites of Zhou', every King's family is divided into the First Empress, Third Madam, Ninth Concubine, Twenty-Seven Generations of Women, and Eighty-One Imperial Concubines.
Since our Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven's concubines have been divided into fourteen ranks: Zhao Yi, Jie Yu, Heng 'e, Hua Hua, Mei Mei, Ba Zi, Chong Yi, Qi Zi, Liang Ren, Chang Shi, Shao Shi, Wu Gong, Shun Chang, and Wu Juan. There are at least several thousand, and at most ten thousand.
Since the Han Dynasty's resurgence, the Son of Heaven's concubines have been divided into five ranks: Empress, Noble Lady, Beauty, Palace Maid, and Chosen Woman. There are no less than several thousand, and at most ten thousand.
Has Lord not seen that although Yuan Shu has bewitched the world, ever since he proclaimed the Great Unification, he has also been selecting concubines to fill the ranks? In comparison, Lord's family is naturally insufficient. "
It was clear that they had discussed this beforehand. As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia had already brought up many ancestral rules.
