The wind is blowing up the imperial city, and the yellow flags on the towers of Beiyuan "sway" in the wind.
Fu Jinzhan slowly walked up the stone steps, behind which a group of court ladies and eunuchs bowed and followed. The wind blew her dress against her body, and her head was blown into chaos. A few strands of blue silk floated in the wind and floated on Ruyu's face, adding a bit of poignancy to her beautiful face.
She walked up and saw a man in a martial suit standing alone on the Beiyuan pasture. He was Emperor Guo Shao of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Shao's back is facing the tower, the direction is very wrong. Fu Jinzhan raised his face, feeling the direction of the wind in the air, guessing that Guo Shao followed the wind for the accuracy of his archery.
He shoots arrows there, repeating the action monotonously, draws an arrow to put a bowstring, spread his arms, aim at the target ahead, aim and stay for a while, then release the arrow. Then he draws the arrow again, and the cycle repeats without any pause or accident.
"Pop!" From time to time there was a dull chord. After a while, there was another "pop".
The bowstring seemed to vibrate in Fu Jinzhan's heart. Somehow, she felt a pain in her heart when she saw this scene.
The **** Cao Tai cautiously said: "Your Majesty met with the minister in the morning, read a time memorial, and shot arrows here until now."
Fu Jinzhan straightened his neck and looked down at the grass field without saying a word.
Guo Shao has become the emperor, and there are many people around him, but Fu Jinzhan believes that no one but himself really understands him, because people's heights are different, and they see different things.
After a long time, Guo Shao finally turned around and found Fu Jinzhan's yellow shirt. He stood there looking up at this side, and Fu Jinzhan also looked at him. The two people were separated by a long distance, and the sound of the wind roared in the middle, and one of them looked at each other as if they had passed away, as if they had passed through a thousand years of each other.
Cao Tai said: "This morning, Prime Minister Fan Zhi wrote a letter to make a statement, and his Majesty was on the spot..."
Fu Jinzhan finally spoke: "Your Majesty is still a person who can tolerate compromises. As long as there are benefits, he can negotiate peace with anyone, but he cannot negotiate with Liao alone."
Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave servant looks at Fan Zhi as a loyal and loyal person, but in reality he is a man of reputation!"
Fu Jinzhan stood for a long time, turning around and leaving the tower without trying to persuade him.
...The more things a person has, the greater the responsibility he shoulders, the smaller he is, and the more he walks on thin ice.
Guo Shao fully understands the seriousness of the matter, so he has not made a decision. But there is another unbearable unwillingness to block his chest, making him unwilling to give up.
Occasionally looking back to think about it, I may be a little prejudiced against Fan Zhi, which is why I am so dissatisfied with him. After the Central Plains has fought in these years, there are not many real strengths that can actually be fought. The Northern Expedition was just a little bit at the beginning of the year, but the Northern Expedition has already been tried, otherwise the result will not be a hasty retreat.
Fan Zhi’s suggestion is a bit harsh, but it is not a way. Perhaps in their opinion, it is a very pragmatic way. In the current world situation, it is not difficult to at least unify most areas and establish a unified dynasty. It is the general trend; holding on to the acquired turf and good governance is good for the emperor and the ministers and nobles who already have a lot of resources, at least sharing the glory and wealth. Question...In history, it is difficult for Central Plains to take down the Liao State, and it did so.
But Guo Shao is not reconciled, and even more uneasy.
After practicing arrows for most of the day, he felt a sore back and his arms were so weak that he left Beiyuan. In fact, this kind of exercise was practiced every day seven or eight years ago, and there has been a lack of exercise in the last two years.
Back to the Hall of Grace, Guo Shao did not call any concubines to bed, but Yulian took care of her daily life.
When Yulian saw Guo Shao, she said: "Ms. Dong (Gao's) came to visit me that day. I know that she and her majesty had the meaning of Jinlan, but she is not familiar with me..."
She glanced at Guo Shao and paused: "Mrs. Dong loves Jinsuo (the princess) very much. She gave a pair of gold bracelets with gems, which should be very expensive."
Women are indeed very sensitive to certain things. Guo Shao pretended not to understand, and said: "If you give something, just accept it."
"Yeah." Yulian said.
Guo Shao sat down on the Jin Nan chair in front of the book case, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, thinking of Gao, he also wondered that her wife had never run away and was arrested by the Khitanese... but it was fine. Imagine that the Khitan invaded and looted the population very seriously!
The Central Plains dynasty seemed to them like a ranch, and if they had no money or food, they swaggered to fetch them. Not only robbed resources savagely, but also robbed women for their lewdness, just like their brothel! The question is, why? !
Guo Shao's face became colder, and a sense of humiliation and anger came back to his heart. The weak and the strong eat, in this world, the only way to fight is king.
The more he thought about it, the more he became dissatisfied, and because of this, his anger gradually faded. Guo Shao understands that although he has always been known as benevolence and righteousness, for internal cohesion, it is not benevolence and righteousness that really wins. On the contrary, the more rational and cold-blooded, the easier it is to judge accurately.
He turned through the file opened on the table and began to see the strategies of Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Cao Bin and others.
Looking at it for a while, he picked up his brush to write and draw on paper, and drew his own ideas. They were all circles and squares, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, summarized experience and lessons, and followed the strategies proposed by the ministers. Some deduction.
...Guo Shao's life has become very regular, he is hardly close to female, let alone Fu Jinzhan. In the morning, I will meet with the central government officials as usual, and then pick some memorials to see. Then I went to Beiyuan to run and practice archery and horseback riding until I was sweating and exhausted.
Hebei's situation is urgent, and the ministers have all kinds of comments. But Guo Shao ignored it.
He didn't become irritable, but was more calm and patient than usual. He had a very good temper, and he never rebuked the minister. Only a calm state of mind can sensibly examine risks and various factors!
August 29, the eve of the Great Dynasty.
Guo Shao went to Sanqingdian after changing his regular track for many days. He sat in the temple for a while, not wanting to see Qingxu who was too dull, so he went straight to see the imperial concubine Zhang.
Zhang seems to have learned that Guo Shao has come to Sanqing Hall, and has dressed up and waited in the monotonous hall. Seeing Guo Shao, she was still a little flustered and hurried up to meet her.
Guo Shao is very casual. He even wore an old robe that he had worn for several years. He didn't even have a decorative jade pendant. He looked a bit like a Taoist priest if his robe was silk. People are changing. In the past, Guo Shao still liked gold, probably because he thought it would keep its value even after a thousand years; but then he lost interest in these things, because they lost their meaning to the highest position where there is no way out.
Guo Shao didn't sit by the chess table in front of the window. When he saw a scripture on a book table, he pointed and asked: "Can I see it?"
Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please feel free. I usually have nothing to do, and follow the copied Taoist scriptures."
Guo Shao looked through it carefully for a long time. Zhang also gradually adapted from the initial tension, made tea, and sat down opposite Guo Shao.
A young woman who can concentrate on copying the scriptures every day, she must have a good temperament...Although she is forced.
Guo Shao looked at it for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Taoists seem to pay attention to desirelessness and desirelessness, and Taoism is natural."
Zhangs smiled and said: "That's it."
Guo Shao relaxed and asked casually: "Can copying scriptures work?"
Zhang looked at him and shook his head slightly. Guo Shao saw that although she was wearing a Taoist gown, her lips were carefully smeared with a shallow rouge. Although it was deliberately very light, she could still see her modification.
She whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to go to the banquet last time."
Guo Shao said: "That banquet is actually not that interesting."
Zhang said: "It's always more interesting than copying the scriptures. It is really difficult for people to be truly wantless."
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and then said: "Today I just want to come to Sanqingdian to be quiet, and I will come to disturb the imperial concubine... I suddenly thought at this moment, would this be an annoying thing to impose on you? "
Zhang shook his head without hesitation and blurted out: "Actually... Waiting for your majesty here also gives me a little hope for my life..." When she said this, her face blushed and she continued slowly," Although the time is always long and long, and I understand that there is no result, but it is so sad day after day."
Guo Shao looked at her. The pressure for many days made him unrestrained in his words and deeds at this time. He leaned over, moved his upper body closer, and whispered: "People's desires can be fulfilled. If you give up, it is your desire. The degree is not enough."
Zhang looked at him in surprise, unable to speak.
Guo Shao originally thought of the Taoist temple for a while, but at this time the crazy ambition in his eyes was fully revealed, and it became more difficult to control himself.
In the depths of his heart, he originally felt that he could do whatever he wanted to control the country in ancient times. Unexpectedly, even a Youzhou would not be able to take it back and would be threatened and disturbed by the Liao army. This was something he couldn't accept! He should not be restricted by the rules here.
