Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty - Chapter 897

　　It’s not far from Chanzhou to Tokyo. Heading to the southwest, you will be able to reach the capital soon after passing through an ordinary post station “Chenqiaoyi”.

　　Guo Shao didn’t know how Xiao Yanyan felt when she learned that her father was stabbed|and she didn’t know if she would blame Xiao Siwen’s death on her own head, but the matter was no more. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he attended a celebration banquet to celebrate the merits of the soldiers and officials of the Northern Expedition in Liaoxi.

　　 At the banquet, Guo Shao still left midway. But the comic drama of joining the army and singing and dancing continued in the interlacing of cups and lanterns. Once the emperor and empress left, Zhu Wenwu became more casual.

　　 The hall is full of congratulations and compliments, and there is laughter and noisy. Some people took wine glasses to another table to toast, and the lively and cheerful scene was also an opportunity to bring the relationship closer.

　　 It’s not just about gathering people in groups. Military commanders and civilians rarely get together. They have different temperaments and interests. It’s hard to talk together. Even if they have nothing to talk to, they are tired and panic.

　　 Several ministers in the cabinet drank very happy. Huang Binglian got on his face while drinking, and said with a flushing face: “I heard that the Chanyuan League has witnessed the signings of various countries, but the Korean envoy refused to sign?”

Lu Duoxun said: “At that time, I was in Chanzhou. It was like this. When the Korean army heard of the Northern Expedition of Xu Jun, they joined forces with the Jurchen tribe to attack the Liao Kingdom. Perhaps they were eager to divide the’Dongdan Kingdom’ with my country. People did not send an envoy to tell our country, so we can’t talk about attacking Liao with our coalition forces; since Da Xu and Goryeo have no alliance with allied forces, so we negotiated an alliance with Liao, and it is not a betrayal.”

　　 Huang Binglian shook his head and said: “Korean people obviously don’t think so. If their envoys are dissatisfied in public, you can know. If the official asks about this, how do you plan to answer it?”

At this time, Zuo You calmly said: “The officials have already been counted. The Korean envoys are outraged, but they will soon send people to the DPRK to repair relations with us; otherwise, they will not only have grievances with the Liao country, but also have a gap with Da Xu. Are you capable of being an enemy of two big countries at the same time? Don’t worry about it.”

　　 A few people continue to agree with each other, and they agree.

　　 The only person who was a little distracted and didn’t show his own insight was Zan Juyun. He did not participate in the Northern Expedition and Yimeng, but when people’s eyes were on Liao and Goryeo, Zan Ju-run noticed the absence of Jiaozhi County during the Yimeng in Changzhou… It was not because the mountains were high and the road was far away. There are too many counties, and the Duan family also sent someone.

　　 Ju Yun thought about it. The officials had long put forward a national policy of attaching importance to sea routes and encircling the sphere of influence from the Straits of Malacca. It was only in the last two years that they had to deal with the Liao State and have been shelved. Now the North is tentatively scheduled, maybe it will bring up the South China Sea… Jiaozhi County has almost no contact with the Central Plains, and it is easier to be ignored. If asked suddenly, it is difficult for unprepared ministers to answer.

In addition, Zan Jurun also noticed something that the imperial court ignored: during the emperor’s sickness (poisoning), Sitian Supervisor Gao Shouzhen produced an instrument called “Stargazer”, which could use tools to estimate the height of the stars. It became easier; and before that, Gao Shouzhen used his profound knowledge of astronomical phenomena to calculate the ground position, but the general secretary of the sky supervisor did not have this ability at all. Because of the needs of navigation, Gao Shouzhen came up with a method to use instruments.

　　 Ju Yun, if at the right time, he contributed his knowledge of Jiaozhi County and the stargazer together, he would definitely win the emperor’s extra favor.

　　He has been planning this for a while.

　　 The four ministers in the cabinet. In the past, Zuo You was most likely to come to the fore, because Zuo You was the emperor’s friend in need and had a close relationship; but Zuo You was a step behind Li Chuyun. And Huang Binglian has also known the emperor for a long time, and he is quite good at law and order; Lu Duoxun has made great achievements in matters such as going deep into Hexi and making party affairs… If Zan Jurun wants to compare with them, he must do something!

　　 The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra at the celebration feast is like the end of dealing with the relationship with Liao.

　　 Guo Shao walked out from the north of Jinxiang Temple, took a breath of fresh air, and glanced back at the quaint and magnificent buildings, as if looking back at what happened.

　　 The feud between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Khitan of the Liao Kingdom is extremely deep. Now that the founding force is strong, the emperor has chosen to negotiate with the Liao Kingdom when it is strong! Obviously many people did not support this national policy. The most extreme reaction was that when Guo Shao was still in Chanzhou, there was a secret | conspiracy to assassinate an envoy of Liao.

　　 But Guo Shao didn’t think he was wrong!

Da Xu established his country by military force. After the founding of the country, he continued to war for years. Through military force, he ended many years of melee between the countries. He conquered the wars in the South and the North, and even reached the distant Japan… But Guo Shao knew that countless times in the South and the North, or obtained Benefits far outweigh the effort, such as the battles of the Southern Tang, Shu Kingdom, and Southern Han Dynasty; or quick battles, the victory of the war has increased the prestige of the court.

　　 But if you fall into the consumption of a large grassland country like Liao, people may find that maybe it is not as strong as you think. Guo Shao was impressed by the two northern expeditions to Youzhou at any cost, and almost emptied the treasury.

　　 In contrast, the cost of influencing the national policy of controlling Liao by other means is much smaller… For example, if you try to support people like Yelv Xiezhen, you can buy and control people like Yang Dang.

　　 But many wars are far from over. Guo Shao feels that he has to bear the reputation of being “a poor soldier” for many years.

　　 Guo Shao took a few steps, subconsciously clutching his cheeks, and took a “hiss” breath.

　　The **** Wang Zhong asked hurriedly: “Where is your Majesty?”

　　Guo Shao said, “I guess it’s a bit angry to go to banquets in succession.”

　　 Wang Zhongdao: “Your Majesty, go in and rest. The slaves and maids will pass on the imperial doctor.”

　　 Guo Shao’s face was stunned and said, “I might as well go and see Lady Lu.”

　　 Wang Zhong prepared a car and drove Guo Shao to go. As for the yard full of various plants and grasslands, Guo Shao was greeted by Lu Niangzi and Bai’s into the hall, but Xiao Yanyan was not seen… Xiao Yanyan also lived here, and Guo Shao couldn’t ask more.

　　 “Ms. Lu Niangzi’s flowers and plants can cure toothache?” Guo Shao asked Lu Lan directly.

　　 Lu Lan said: “Your Majesty wait a moment.” After that, he turned and left.

　　 Guo Shao looked from her side and noticed her side breasts, feeling that she has become more plump these days. But I don’t know whether it is a relationship that he knows how to nursed back, or a natural figure.

　　 As expected, Lu Lan came out with a glass of green leaf water soaked in a glass cup, and stretched out his left hand. When Guo Shao saw it, he stretched out his palm to catch it, and saw some oval fruit. Lu Lan said: “After drinking the tea, I will take a capsule of these things in my mouth when I have time. The pain should be relieved.”

　　Guo Shao likes Lu Lan very much. The plants and fragrance in the house are not talking about how to fight for power and gain, at least there is a moment of withdrawal.

He picked up the glass cup and took a sip, suddenly he looked thoughtful, and stopped in the air with the cup in his hand, meditating there, thinking, “This smell is very familiar, it is a kind of flower tree, called… What is it called?” He stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead.

　　 Lu Lan covered his mouth and smiled when he saw him: “Lilacs.”

　　 “Clove!” Guo Shao suddenly said, “It’s the lilac flower. I used to grow it in my hometown. No wonder it’s so familiar.”

　　 Lu Lan turned his eyes, and said with a chuckle: “Your Majesty Chengri thinks about military affairs and billions of people. How can you still think about these little flowers and grasses?”

　　 Guo Shao heard something different, and pointed out that Lu Lan made a gesture and stopped talking. It took a while before he smiled bitterly: “If you don’t remind me, I can remember it.”

　　 He pondered for a moment, and then said: “This kind of flower has a flowery language.”

　　 “Flower language?” Lu Lan looked interested, resting his chin on one hand and resting his elbow on the table.

　　 Guo Shao said: “The meaning of flower language is a kind of flower’s allegory, just like cuckoos often remind people of sadness, crows are bad luck, magpies are annunciation… I have planted lilac, so I remember this one. The flower language of lilac is memory…”

　　 In the few white vapors, Guo Shao smelled the unique fragrance in the air, and tasted the taste of memories. He seemed to remember the first meeting in Hebei many years ago, the reunion in Wushan. Those faint fragments that were thought to be insignificant and passed in a blink of an eye have not yet been forgotten. And the small ordinary girl in front of me, after being displaced in the war, a little change.

　　 Countless fragments flooded my mind, besides the memory of Lu Lan, what flooded my mind in an instant, there was even the Fu Family’s other courtyard… the former Guo Mansion. Perhaps that yard is also related to Lu Lan. She first came to Tokyo and lived there.

Lu Lan’s voice brought the tranced Guo Shaola back, “I didn’t expect that your majesty would also be interested in planting flowers~www.mtlnovel.com~Unexpectedly, Guo Shao shook his head and said: “I have never liked caring for grass and trees, and I have no intention of thinking about it. But occasionally I am interested in watching it. “

　　 Lu Lan said, “Oh”, “That’s also…Take care of these things, you need a peaceful state of mind, and you can be indifferent without desire or demand.”

　　Guo Shao said: “That’s right. I don’t have the realm of tranquility, far-reaching, indifferent ambition, and I like something with clear goals and immediate results.”

　　…At this time, Xiao Chuo in the door was also listening to the voices outside. Her feelings about Guo Shao are very complicated, but she also agrees with the phrase that there is no peaceful and indifferent state.

　　 Xiao Chuo doesn’t like the flowers and plants in Lu Lan at all. She just wants to ride a horse to run in the vast world, she just wants to have richer and more exciting days. However, the cruel situation made her gradually realize that she might die in this huge prison!

　　 The news of Xiao Siwen’s death came, and Xiao Chuo’s greatest concern was not hatred and sadness, but the fear of losing his backing… The two sisters also became widows. Now, who would care about her being trapped in Xu’s palace?

　　 There are eight thousand women in Xu’s palace. Xiao Chuo thought to himself, he would die here just like them? In the rich and magnificent palace, people are rich in clothing and food. Many people admire the days here, but Xiao Chuo, who has never been hungry or cold since childhood, cares not about food and clothing.

　　 She sat on the stool with a dull expression and did not move for a long time.
