Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

At that time, when Qingyi was still powerful, Qingyi Shanyu wanted to build a royal city in the grassland.Just like those Central Plains people.

It is said that this Shan Yu was very yearning for the Central Plains. When Jiang Sile looked through the records, he found that he also had a princess from the Central Plains as the Yan family.

But at that time, when the upright heroes of the Central Plains were vying for the throne, Shan Yu went south several times and was severely beaten back.

So his ambition of going south to occupy the Central Plains was put on hold, and the focus shifted from the war to dividing the pastures in various parts of the grassland and building a new royal city.

There is no written record of how long this new royal city was built, but according to the word of mouth of the old people, some say it took ten years, and some say it took 20 years.

Anyway, there are different opinions on the time when the construction will be completed.

But one thing is certain, that is, the group of Timu people left after building the palace for Qingyi.

It is said that they wanted to return to the clan land on the other side of the mountain.Jiang Sile guessed that it would take at least ten years from being arrested to when the palace was built.

A more reasonable guess is that these people are far from their hometowns, and now they are old and want to return to their roots.

This is not Jiang Sile's random guess, after all, even the Qingyi people here have the same custom.

People always remember where they were born. If it is a wasteland, their parents will set up a stone there.When you die of old age, you are buried where you were born.

Being able to get along well with the Qingyi people, Jiang Sile guessed that the Timu people might have similar customs with them, or it might have aroused their feelings of returning home during their long life in Qingyi.

According to the existing written records, the written records of the main Qingyi people are very scarce, and there is no study room in the whole Qingyi except for the palace.

The illiteracy of the Qingyi people also made Jiang Sile very desperate.It can be said that it is even worse than Daxia.

But she calmed down and thought about it. After all, she is a grassland nation, and it is actually normal for her to have a low literacy rate.

The text she saw was just an understatement: The Timu people respectfully asked Shanyu to leave, and Shanyu, who was surprised by the new royal city, happily agreed.

After that...Jiang Sile never saw any text about Timu people and the builders of the royal city.

Maybe they really crossed the mountains and returned to their hometown?Jiang Sile pursed her lips. In fact, there could be a darker hypothesis.

Or... those Timu people were killed by Shan Yu after they built the king city.

This thought was a bit crazy and dark, but Jiang Sile turned around and recalled what she had read in history books, as well as the unofficial gossip she knew in online chat rooms... She felt that this was not impossible.

Just when Jiang Sile was obsessed with the exquisite carvings of the royal city and speculation about the whereabouts of the Timu people who built the royal city, someone suddenly called her.

"Your Highness, Shan Yu is waiting for you in the back hall."

When Jiang Sile heard about the monster, he turned around in despair.The person who had just spoken to her was an attendant wearing linen.

There are no eunuchs in the palace of Qingyi, and the servants of the palace are generally descendants of sin slaves and Qingyi people who made mistakes.

It is very simple to distinguish them. Attendants cannot wear military uniforms, animal skins and silk.But this kind of clothes made of animal fur is very popular in Qingyi.

Even the common people in Qingyi would have some fur clothes, and the nobles would even go after the precious white fox, bear and tiger furs.

When Jiang Sile first arrived in Qingyi, there was a white fox fur cloak in the clothes that Lao Shanyu prepared for her.

If you see Qingyi people wearing linen or cotton clothes in the palace, they are usually attendants, and usually the latter has a higher status than the former.

Jiang Sile nodded, and the attendant lowered his eyes and left quickly.

The carriage stopped outside the palace, and there were Qingyi guards on duty at the entrance of the palace.

They lowered their heads towards Jiang Sile, as if she was a god or some unsightly and dangerous person.

Jiang Sile didn't care much about their performance.She thought: Maybe those rumors that were raging in Daxia also spread to this uninformed royal city?
She just thought it was ridiculous, smiled and shook her head.

The guards around her parted ways with her after they arrived in Wangcheng.Jiang Sile didn't know where they went.Just like Ayishi, Qingyi people will always keep the secrets they want to keep.

Entering from the gate of the palace is a staircase.

Jiang Sile guessed that this might be due to the terrain.The site of the royal city is closely attached to the plain, but no one realized before that there is actually a shallow depression there, and there is a depression with a smaller height than other places.

Why don't people usually notice?

In fact, this is very easy to explain.That depression, to say it was a depression, was not accurate.It's just a little lower than other places.Jiang Sile estimated that it would be about five or six centimeters, the width of a palm.

But this land is indeed a good place, and the pastures adjacent to it are the most fertile and lush.

Since it was all grass before, it is reasonable not to notice this little low-level anomaly.At least that's what Jiang Sile speculated.

After climbing this section of stairs, you will arrive at the entrance of the main hall of the palace.

Generally speaking, there are guards at the entrance of the hall, but every time Jiang Sile came, he found that there were no guards.

In fact, standing here and looking in other directions, if your height is in the average standard, you can actually faintly see other palaces in the royal city.

If you climb to the roof, you can even overlook the entire royal city.

Jiang Sile once wanted to do this very much. At that time, the old Shanyu had not returned from Mobei.But maybe because of her eagerness to try, Jiang Sile soon received a warning from Zuo Xianwang Wu Quji.

After that, Lao Shanyu also wanted to dispel her thoughts in his heart.

boring...

It's so boring...

Jiang Sile collected the emotions in her heart, bypassed the main entrance of the palace, and walked towards the back hall.

How could anyone not want to climb on the roof?
Are people in Qingyi afraid of heights?

Jiang Sile thought indignantly, even though Li Yancheng was shocked when she said this idea at the beginning.

The journey was not long, Jiang Sile pushed open the door of the apse and saw Lao Shanyu sitting behind the desk alone.

It looked like a statue, Jiang Sile thought with a sneer, it must be a statue that would die suddenly.

"Come... sit down..."

Jiang Sile obediently sat on the nearest wooden chair, her back slumped to the back of the chair, and she sighed comfortably after relaxing.

After Lao Shanyu finished writing the letter—Jiang Sile preferred to be a clerical document, Lao Shanyu stood up and walked out from behind the desk.

"You did a good job this time."

Jiang Sile frowned, she didn't like Lao Shanyu's compliment, it made her act on a whim, as if she was just to be loyal to Lao Shanyu, absurd.

Seeing that Jiang Sile didn't answer and that Old Shanyu didn't get angry, he clapped his hands.

Jiang Sile saw three attendants dressed in sackcloth appear from somewhere in the apse.

They held lacquer plates in their hands, and on top of the dark lacquer plates were white teacups.

After serving tea to Jiang Sile and Wu Xian with light footsteps, they quietly left where they came from.
