    It's not far from Chanzhou to Tokyo. If you go southwest, you can reach the capital in no time as long as you pass through a very ordinary post station called "Chenqiao Station".  Guo Shao didn¡¯t know how Xiao Yanyan felt after learning that her father had been assassinated, and he didn¡¯t know if she would blame herself for Xiao Siwen¡¯s death, but there was nothing he could do about it at this point.  As soon as he returned to Beijing, he attended a celebration banquet to celebrate the soldiers and officials of the Northern Expedition to Western Liaoning.  During the banquet, Guo Shao still left the banquet midway.  But the funny military drama and singing and dancing continued with the interlacing of cups and cups. As soon as the emperor and queen left, the civil and military officials became more casual.  The hall was filled with words of congratulations and compliments, as well as laughter and commotion.  Some people took wine glasses to other tables to toast. This lively and joyful scene was also an opportunity to draw everyone closer together.  "However, birds of a feather flock together, and military generals and civil servants rarely mix together. They have different temperaments and interests, so it is difficult for them to talk together. Even if they have nothing to say, they will be exhausted."  The assistant ministers in the cabinet here were very happy to drink. Huang Binglian's face was stained with wine, and he said with a bright red face: "I heard that the Chanyuan Alliance was signed and witnessed by all the countries, but the Korean envoy refused to sign?" Lu Duoxun said: "At that time  I'm in Chanzhou. What happened is that when the Koryo army heard about the Northern Expedition of Xu's army, they joined forces with the Jurchen tribe to attack the back and front of the Liao Kingdom. Perhaps they were eager to separate the "Dongdan Kingdom" from our country, but the Koryo people did not send an envoy to tell our country.  , so it cannot be said to join forces with our country to attack the Liao Kingdom; since there is no alliance between Daxu and Goryeo, our alliance with the Liao Kingdom cannot be called a betrayal." Huang Binglian shook his head and said: "The Koreans obviously don't.  You can tell that the envoys are dissatisfied in public. If the officials ask about this, how do you plan to respond? "At this time, Zuo You said calmly: "The officials have already figured out that the Korean envoys are angry.  They will send people to the DPRK to repair relations with us; otherwise, if they have a grudge with the Liao State and then have a quarrel with Da Xu, how can they be enemies of the two great powers at the same time? Don't worry about it." Several people continued to agree after hearing this.  Take it for granted.  The only person among them who was a little distracted and did not show his knowledge was Zan Jurun.  He did not participate in the Northern Expedition or the alliance. However, when people's attention was on Liao and Goryeo, Zan Jurun noticed the absence of Jiaozhi County during the alliance in Chanzhou It was not because the mountains were high and the roads were far away that Dali did not need Jiaozhi.  The county is too far away, so the Duan family also sent people here.  Zan Jurun thought that the government had long ago proposed the national policy of attaching importance to sea routes and encircling the sphere of influence starting from the Strait of Malacca, but it has been shelved in the past two years because of the need to deal with the Liao Kingdom.  Now the north is tentatively decided, maybe the matter of the South China Sea will be brought up Jiaozhi County has almost no contact with the Central Plains, so it is easier to be ignored. If asked suddenly, it will be difficult for an unprepared minister to answer.  In addition, Zan Jurun also noticed something that the court ignored: while the emperor was ill (poisoned), Si Tianjian Gao Shouzhen made an instrument called a "stargazer", which could use tools to observe the height of stars and estimate their positioning.  Before that, Gao Shouzhen had used his profound knowledge of astronomical phenomena to calculate the position of the ground, but ordinary Sitianjian officials did not have this ability. Because of the need for navigation, Gao Shouzhen came up with a way to use instruments.  If Zan Jurun can present his knowledge of Jiaozhi County together with the stargazer at the right time, he will definitely gain extra favor from the emperor.  He has been planning this for a while.  Among the four assistants in the cabinet, Zuo You was most likely to stand out as a powerful person in the past, because Zuo You was the emperor's friend in times of need and had a close relationship; but Zuo You was one step behind Li Chuyun.  There is also Huang Binglian who has known the emperor for a long time and is very good at law and order; Lu Duoxun went deep into Hexi and made great achievements in making friends with party members Zan Jurun must do something if he wants to compare with them!  ¡­ ¡­ The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music at the celebration banquet seemed to be the end of dealing with the relationship with the Liao Kingdom.  Guo Shao walked out from the north of Jinxiang Hall, took a breath of fresh air, and looked back at the simple and magnificent buildings, as if he was reviewing what happened.  The feud between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom Khitan was very deep. Now that the founding of the country was strong in military force, the emperor chose to negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom at a time of great strength!  Obviously many people did not support this national policy. The most extreme reaction was that when Guo Shao was still in Chanzhou, officers and soldiers conspired to assassinate the Liao envoys.  But Guo Shao doesn¡¯t feel like he¡¯s at fault!  Da Xu used force to establish the country. After the founding of the country, there were still wars for many years. He used force to end the years of melee among the countries. He also went to war in the north and south, and even fought in the distant country of Japan But Guo Shao knew very well that after countless wars in the south and north, maybe he would get something.  The benefits far outweigh the sacrifices, such as the battles to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shu Kingdom, and Southern Han Dynasty; or a quick victory, the victory of the war actually increased the prestige of the imperial court.  But if it falls into the consumption of a large steppe country like Liao, I am afraid people will find that Daxu is not as strong as imagined.  At that time, regardless of the cost, both??The Northern Expedition to Youzhou almost emptied the national treasury, and Guo Shao was deeply impressed.  In comparison, the cost of influencing and controlling the national policies of the Liao Kingdom through other means is much smallersuch as trying to support people with political views like Yelu Xiezhen, and then buying and controlling people like Yang Gun.  But the war in Dashu is far from over. Guo Shao feels that he still has to bear the reputation of being "militant" for many years.  Guo Shao took a few steps, subconsciously covered his cheeks and took a breath.  The eunuch Wang Zhong hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with your majesty?" Guo Shao said: "I'm probably a little angry after having a feast of big fish and meat." Wang Zhong said: "Your majesty, please go in and have a rest, and I will send the imperial doctor to you." Guo Shao's face  Suddenly, he said: "I might as well go see Madam Lu." Wang Zhong prepared a car and drove Guo Shao there.  When they arrived at the courtyard full of grassland with various plants, Guo Shao was welcomed into the hall by Madam Lu and Bai, but he didn't see Xiao Yanyan Xiao Yanyan also lived here, so Guo Shao couldn't ask more questions.  "Ms. Lu, can any of the flowers and plants here cure toothache?" Guo Shao asked directly when he saw Lu Lan.  Lu Lan said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment." After saying that, he turned and left.  Guo Shao looked at her from the side and noticed her side breasts, feeling that she was getting plumper these days.  But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because I know how to take care of myself, or it¡¯s because of my natural figure.  Sure enough, before waiting long, Lu Lan came out with a glass cup of green leaf water and stretched out his left hand.  When Guo Shao saw this, he stretched out his palm to catch it and saw that it was some oval fruits.  Lu Lan said: "After drinking the tea, take one of these in your mouth when you have time. The pain should be relieved." Guo Shao likes Lu Lan very much. The house is full of plants and fragrance, and it is not about fighting for power and killing and plundering.  _ Seize, at least have a moment to escape.  He picked up the glass cup and took a sip. He suddenly looked thoughtful. He held the cup in his hand and stopped in the air. He meditated and muttered: "This smell is very familiar. It is a kind of flower tree called  What's it called?" He stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead.  Seeing his appearance, Lu Lan covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Lilac." "Lilac!" Guo Shao suddenly realized, "It's the lilac flower. I grew it in my hometown before, no wonder it's so familiar." Lu Lan's eyes moved and she chuckled: "  Your Majesty is thinking about military affairs and billions of people all day long. How can you think about these little flowers and grass? " Guo Shao heard something else, pointed to Lu Lan and hesitated to speak. After a while,  Then he smiled bitterly and said, "If you didn't remind me, I would have remembered it." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "This kind of flower has a flower language." "Flower language?" Lu Lan looked interested, supporting his chin with one hand,  Rest your elbows on the table.  Guo Shaodao: "The meaning of flower language is the meaning of a flower, just like the cuckoo often reminds people of sadness, the crow means bad luck, and the magpie means good news I have planted lilacs, so I remember this one. The flower language of lilacs is memories"  In the sparse white steam, Guo Shao smelled the unique fragrance that seemed to be absent in the air, and tasted the taste of memories.  He seemed to recall the first meeting in Hebei many years ago and the reunion in Wushan.  Those vague fragments that I thought were insignificant and gone in the blink of an eye have never been forgotten.  And this ordinary girl with a small stature in front of her has changed slightly after being displaced during the war.  Countless fragments came to mind. In addition to the memories about Lu Lan, what also came to mind in an instant was the other courtyard of the Fu familythe former Guo Mansion.  Maybe that courtyard is also related to Lu Lan. It was where she lived when she first came to Tokyo.  Lu Lan's voice brought the lost Guo Shao back, "I didn't expect that His Majesty would also be interested in planting flowers." Unexpectedly, Guo Shao shook his head and said, "I never like to take care of vegetation, and I have no intention of thinking about it, but occasionally I am interested in watching them.  That's all." Lu Lan said "Oh": "That's rightto take care of these things, you need to have a peaceful mind and be able to be indifferent without desires." Guo Shao said: "That's exactly the case.  , The state of being indifferent and clear-minded, I like things with clear goals and immediate results. " At this time, Xiao Chuo in the door was also listening to the voices outside.  Her feelings for Guo Shao are very complicated, but she also agrees with the statement that there is no state of tranquility and indifference.  " Xiao Chuo doesn't like the flowers and plants here at all. She just wants to ride a horse and run in the vast world, and she just wants to have a richer and more exciting life.  However, the cruel situation made her gradually realize that she might end up in this huge prison!  When the news of Xiao Siwen's death came, what Xiao Chuo felt most was not hatred and sadness, but the fear of losing a big supporter His two sisters also became widows.  Now who will care that she is trapped in Xu Kingdom's palace?  This is the palace of Xu StateSon, if there are not ten thousand, there are eight thousand.  Xiao Chuo thought to himself, will he die here like them?  In the prosperous palace, people are well-dressed and well-fed. Many people envy the life here, but a girl like Xiao Chuo, who has never been hungry or cold since she was a child, does not care about food and clothing.  She sat on the stool with a dull expression and did not move for a long time.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ (Sorry everyone, I have stopped updating again.
