    Zhou Jun soon understood that Xue Chongxun had no intention of interrogating her.  He turned to Sanniang and said: "Yu Wenxiao is not a foreign minister, he also has his own thoughts. Besides, this girl is really good-looking. How can I refuse? Are you unhappy when you look at me like this?"

    Sanniang finally spoke: "Yu Wenxiao is not a good person and can't do anything good. Xue Lang should really let Bai Qimei take charge of the inner factory, so as not to harm too many innocent people Xue Lang can see it.  If I don't love this little girl, who am I qualified to care about her? But if Xue Lang wants to execute her father and family, aren't you afraid that she will do harm to you while they are close? I can't leave here."

    Zhou Jun said in astonishment: "That official just now said clearly that he would let my family go after he inquired clearly!"

    Xue Chongxun said: "Do you believe what he said? Your father Zhou Ji defected to the rebels and scheming to surrender led to the death of Li Yi, the general manager of Hebei Province. Li Yi was my loyal minister and a relative of the prime minister of the DPRK Now you still  Do you think Zhou Ji can survive? His sin is too great, and his family cannot be spared; plus he deceived the emperor and married the leader of the thieves, your family will not survive."

    Zhou Yun¡¯s face suddenly turned pale when he heard him talking about hundreds of human lives in a straightforward tone, and he subconsciously defended: ¡°My father was forced, and I was also forced by the bandit leader¡±

    Xue Chongxun stood up, approached slowly, and said: "If you still want to say this, or I let the official just now come to interrogate you, I can guarantee that as long as he orders you to be taken away, he will definitely  Get dozens of men to 'interrogate' them, torture them to death and then feed them to the dogs."

    "You" Zhou Yun's shoulders trembled.

    Xue Chongxun walked up to her, without any extreme or frivolous movements, and his tone was very calm: "As long as you obey me, I can at least place you in the Daming Palace Jiaofang Division. Of course, that place is not as good as being an official lady."  Okay, but finally it¡¯s good clothes and fine food.¡±

    "Your Majesty, please let go of the Zhou family." Zhou Jun suddenly fell to his knees and said in a pleading tone.

    Xue Chongxun was speechless and sighed slightly.

    Zhou Jun's tears flowed down. She still wanted to beg, but she already understood that everything was impossible.  A person who wants to seize his country is a member of the party. What will happen if he is caught? Common people who are completely ignorant in this era know that they will be exterminated. Treason is the most serious crime in the imperial dynasty.

    She choked and said: "Your Majesty, please give me a death. I don't want to live alone in the world."

    Xue Chongxun gently held her arm, and the armor made a "clang" sound. His tone suddenly changed from the cold narration at first to become gentle, and he persuaded her: "You don't need to hate me. How can I be the emperor?"  You can forgive others for treason, otherwise the people of the world will rebel if they are even slightly dissatisfied, and this land in the Central Plains will become a battlefield, and more people will die, do you understand?"

    He stretched out his hand tentatively, and when he saw that she didn't have an overreaction, he gently wiped her tears with his fingers. There was skin-to-skin contact but there was no frivolous feeling.  He continued to lie: "Zhou Ji is greedy for life and fears death and joins the rebels. You are not responsible for the lives of the Zhou family. You think you are a sinner like the wife of the leader of the thieves. I forgive you. Why do you want to die?"

    Zhou Yun shook his head vigorously, tears streaming down his face and speechless.  Xue Chongxun's hand slowly moved down and began to caress her face. At this time, Sanniang said coldly: "I'll take the hairpin on my head for her first." Xue Chongxun said angrily: "I'm wearing armor!"

    ¡­Zhou Jun was placed in the inner courtyard of the Yamen. She could no longer get out of bed and would probably not have the strength to commit suicide in a while.  Xue Chongxun did not use violence. He would not force beautiful women unless he had to. He used all kinds of deception and coercion to make them "willingly".

    Xue Chongxun organized his army in Huazhou, divided the prisoners of war and handed them over to the local regiment training envoys to supplement the number of civilians.  At this time, Zhang Wulang arrived in Youzhou and was presiding over the construction of the Great Wall. Many officials from the Ministry of Industry were already there.

    Zhang Wulang wrote another memorial and sent it to Huazhou to report on military and political affairs. A month ago, the cavalry from Yingzhou sent out to raid various pastures on the territory of Khitan and Xi, causing them to lose a lot of livestock and tents. The purpose was to make Khitan Xi have no worries.  Take the opportunity to go south and attack Youzhou.  When Xue Chongxun learned about the situation, he canceled his intention to mobilize the Shence Army to go north to fight the nomadic cavalry. The black powder weapons were too bulky and inconvenient to maneuver. It would be very troublesome to fight in the grassland, so he let Zhang Wulang deal with them.

    Cui Qigao has never been caught, and I don¡¯t know if he is dead or not, because there were many corpses along the Yellow River after the war, and the weather was hot and they rotted quickly.  However, the thief leader became a fugitive again and lost his threat.

    In mid-June, Xue Chongxun ordered the governor of Yunzhou to temporarily lead Huazhou to maintain order, waiting for the court to appoint a new governor to form the government. At this time, the Shence Army began to return to Guanzhong.

    When the Forbidden Army returned in triumph, another good news came from Du Siam, a great victory in the northwest, and the Mo clan alliance expressed its gratitude.He sent an envoy to Chang'an to express his gratitude.  Victory between the East and the West and two battles greatly reduced Xue Chongxun's pressure.

    ¡­¡­

    Construction of the Hebei defense line has begun; the new imperial examination chaired by Su Jin will officially begin in the fall of the fourth year, and he is now organizing various academic administrations.  The two major things Xue Chongxun wants to do are currently progressing smoothly.

    By August, all the tribes in the Northeast who could not bear the long-term harassment by Yingzhou cavalry sent envoys to Chang'an to negotiate peace. Some cities in Tubo were unable to launch a second battle and also sent envoys to repair relations.  The Turks, Uighurs, and Bohai Khanates hoped for long-term peace with the Jin Dynasty, and wrote to honor the emperor of the Jin Dynasty as the Heavenly Khan and Princess Taiping as the Heavenly Immortal True Monarch.  Many countries sent people to Chang'an to eat and drink, but Xue Chongxun didn't care that they barely showed up. Princess Taiping was very happy with this situation and held a state banquet in the Linde Hall to entertain the envoys from all countries.

    At this time, the threats around the Jin Dynasty have been basically eliminated, the borders are peaceful, and the country is gradually stable. He can no longer find anything important to do.  The Arab Empire in the west was too far away, and it was of little significance to expand westward. Even if they won, they would definitely break away from the control of the central court. The Central Plains had always believed in a unified regime; he also thought about destroying the island countries in the East China Sea, but  They are already living a miserable life, haha. What Xue Chongxun understands is that life without enough food is worse than death, and it is not that easy to cross the sea and conquer. It is a waste of national power and unprofitable things from the court to the common people.  No one agrees, they just think that the emperor is out of his mind: Donghai Kingdom worships the Jin Dynasty as if it were the Kingdom of Heaven, cries and shouts that it wants to make the Jin Dynasty its suzerainty, and wants to pay tribute to Chang'an every year. The envoys sent over met the emperor more than they met Lao Tzu.  Return the kiss.  In such a country, Xue Chongxun couldn't even find an excuse to send troops to attack, let alone explain it to the world.  The process of "conquering" the southwestern mountainous areas and northeastern states was very slow, and there was no rush. The occupation of Yingzhou as a stronghold was the beginning of this long-term process.

    The world is at peace, and Xue Chongxun has also disappeared.  He doesn't like to build palaces, he doesn't like to waste money on patrols, he doesn't pay attention to delicacies from mountains and seas, he doesn't like exotic treasures, he doesn't believe in gods or ghosts, he doesn't have any faith, and now he's just planning to eat and wait for death; Princess Taiping, on the other hand, only wants to live forever, and very soon  A person with pursuits.  Xue Chongxun couldn't help but be very envious when he saw her calm, joyful and rosy face. He also observed that there was no wrinkle on her face, which was unusual. Sometimes he also wondered if there were really gods, but he found it hard to believe it. He only thought that there were heavy metals in the elixir, but  Princess Taiping believed in her very much, and no one could stop or dare to dissuade her.

    One day he went to the Xing Tower of Chengxiang Palace to say hello. Princess Taiping was practicing and could not even see her, so she sat on a chair and waited.  I saw a big cauldron in the middle of the hall, filled with smoke as if he were refining elixirs. Various pictures were hung on the surrounding wooden walls. Looking out from the window, I saw only blue sky, white clouds and no people. Xue Chongxun felt like being in it.  Out of the ordinary world.  After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Princess Taiping talking in the curtain. Maybe she had completed a "exercise exercise", and Xue Chongxun told her that she always asked about her health and so on.

    Princess Taiping said: "Of course my health is good. Now that the inner elixir has just begun to be formed, I am already immune to all diseases. How can I be ill?"

    Hearing what she said was true, Xue Chongxun blurted out with a smile: "Sir, will you really achieve enlightenment and become an immortal one day?"

    Princess Taiping said slowly: "It is not certain that you will become an immortal, but you should live for three to four hundred years without changing your appearance."

    As long as it was not said that the mother and son of the government could not quarrel, Xue Chongxun followed her wishes and sighed: "In that case, in a few decades, I won't be the one who comes here to ask how you are doing."

    "That's why I asked you to take the elixir many times. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Guanzhong can be used by three people to practice together." Princess Taiping didn't joke at all, she said seriously, "Why don't you want to?"

    Xue Chongxun was speechless. He couldn't say that the elixir was poisonous. Not only would it be ineffective, but it would also make Taiping angry. A quarrel was inevitable.

    "Yuqing, give him one." Princess Taiping ordered in an unquestionable tone. She was used to this method, because usually no one around would resist her.

    After a while Taoist Aunt Yuqing came over with a gold cup with a crystal clear meatball on it. She presented it to Xue Chongxun and said coldly: "Your Majesty, please use the elixir."

    When Xue Chongxun saw the brightly colored and unknown things, he remembered that the brighter the mushrooms, the more poisonous they were. He was unwilling to eat them, so he declined politely and said: "This kind of air control pill requires the aura of the weather to be made. I  It¡¯s useless to take it, so just keep it.¡±

    "Are you afraid that the elixir is poisonous?" Princess Taiping became angry and said sternly, "You have refused several times. Are you really afraid that I will poison you?!"

    Xue Chongxun said hurriedly: "I have no such intention." Princess Taiping said in a strong tone: "Then you have to eat it for me this time!"

    By now, if he didn¡¯t eat, he would probably have trouble with Princess Taiping for a few more days He sighedAfter a moment of silence, he stretched out his fingers and picked up the elixir. He put it in front of him and saw that it was as beautiful as a gem in the sun.  Wouldn't it be poisonous?
