Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 897: Lilacs
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
It’s not far from Chanzhou to Tokyo. Heading to the southwest, you only need to pass a very common post "Chenqiao Station" and you will soon be able to reach the capital.
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 is no longer possible. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he attended a celebration banquet to celebrate the merits of the soldiers and officials in the Northern Expedition in Liaoxi.
At the banquet, Guo Shao still left midway. The comical military drama 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 was full of congratulations and compliments, and 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 just that things are gathered together in groups, military commanders and civil servants rarely mix together, temperament and interest are different, it is difficult to talk together, even if there is nothing to talk to, it is tiring to panic.
Here, several ministers in the cabinet drank very happily. Huang Binglian drank his face and said with a blushing face: "I heard that the Chanyuan League has signed witnesses by all 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 about 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 East Dan Kingdom from my country. ', the people of Korea 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 Korea have no alliance with allied forces, we can't be called a betrayal with the Liao nation." /
Huang Binglian shook his head and said: "Korean people obviously don't think so, and their envoys are dissatisfied in public, so you can know. If the officials ask about this, how do you plan to answer?"
At this time, Zuo You calmly said: "The official family has long been counted. The Korean envoys are outraged, but they will soon send people to the DPRK to repair relations with us; otherwise, they will have grievances with the Liao country, and then have a life with Da Xu. How can you be able to be an enemy of two big countries at the same time? Don’t worry about it."
Several people continued to agree with each other, and they were convinced.
The only person who is a little distracted and hasn't shown his own insight is 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 at 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.
Zan Jurun thought about it. The officials had long put forward the national policy of attaching importance to sea routes and encircling the sphere of influence from the Strait of Malacca. It was only in the last two years that it had to deal with Liao and has 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 you suddenly ask, 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 made an instrument called "Stargazer", which could use tools to observe the stars. Height estimation and positioning become easier; and before that, Gao Shouzhen used his profound knowledge of astronomy to calculate the ground position, but the general secretary of the sky supervisor did not have this ability. Because of the needs of navigation, Gao Shouzhen came up with a method to use instruments. .
If Zan Jurun contributed his knowledge of Jiaozhi County with the stargazer at the right time, he would definitely win the emperor's extra favor.
He has been planning this for a while.
The four ministers of the cabinet. In the past, Zuo You was the most likely to stand out as a powerful weapon, because Zuo You was the emperor’s friend in need and had a lot to do with it; but Zuo You

You are one step behind Li Chuyun. And Huang Binglian has also known the emperor for a long time, and he is very 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 banquet is like the end of dealing with the relationship with Liao.
Guo Shao walked out from the north of the Jinxiang Temple, took a breath of fresh air, and glanced back at the simple 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 the Liao state envoy.
But Guo Shao didn't think he was wrong!
Da Xu established the country by military force. After the founding of the country, he continued to war for many years. Through military force, he ended many years of melee between the countries, and he fought in the south and the north, and even reached the distant Japan... But Guo Shao knew that countless times in the south and north. Or the benefits are much greater than the effort, such as the battle of the Nantang, Shu, and the Southern Han dynasty; or a quick battle, the victory of the war increased the prestige of the court.
But if you fall into the consumption of a large grassland country like Liao, people may find that Xu is not as strong as they thought. Guo Shao was impressed by the two Northern Expeditions to Youzhou at any cost, and almost emptied the treasury.
In contrast, using other means to influence the national policy of controlling Liao is much less expensive... For example, those who try to support political views like Yelv Xiezhen, then buy and control some people like Yang Dagon.
However, 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 clutched his cheeks, and took a "hiss" breath.
The **** Wang Zhong hurriedly asked: "Where is your Majesty?"
Guo Shao said: "I went to banquets with big fish and meat, probably a little bit angry."
Wang Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, go in and rest, and the servants 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. As far as that yard full of various plants and grasslands, Guo Shao was welcomed into the hall by Lu Niangzi and Bai's family, but Xiao Yanyan was not seen... Xiao Yanyan also lived here, and Guo Shao couldn't help asking more.
"Ms. Lu Niangzi's flowers and plants are there to treat 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 about nursing, or a natural figure.
Sure enough, Lu Lan didn't wait long when Lu Lan came out with a glass of green leaf water soaked in it, and stretched out her 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, take a pill of these things in your mouth when you 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 profit, kill and plunder, at least for a moment.
He picked up the glass cup and took a sip, suddenly he looked thoughtful, and he stopped in the air with the cup in his hand, meditating there, thinking, "This
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The taste 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 her mouth and smiled when she saw him: "Lilacs."
"Cloves!" Guo Shao suddenly said, "It's lilacs. I used to grow lilacs in my hometown. No wonder they are so familiar."
Lu Lan's gaze shifted, and he chuckled: "Your Majesty Chengri thinks about military affairs and billions of people. How can I still think about these little flowers and grasses?"
Guo Shao listened to something different, saying that Lu Lan made a gesture and stopped talking. After a while, 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."
"Huayu?" 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 cuckoo often reminds people of sadness, crow is bad luck, magpie is announcing... 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, but have not been forgotten. And the small ordinary girl in front of me, after being displaced in the war, a little change.
Countless fragments rushed to my heart, besides the memory of Lu Lan, what rushed into my heart in an instant, there was even the other courtyard of the Fu family...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 back the tranced Guo Shaola, "I didn't expect that your Majesty would also be interested in planting flowers."
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao shook his head and said: "I have never liked caring for plants and trees, and I have no intention of thinking about it, but occasionally I am interested in watching."
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 Shaodao: "That's right. I don't have the realm of tranquility and far-reaching, indifferent and clear aspirations. 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 about Guo Shao are very complicated, but she also agrees with the sentence that there is no peaceful and indifferent state.
Xiao Chuo doesn't like the flowers and plants here at Lu Lan. 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 imperial 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, a young lady like Xiao Chuo who has never been hungry or cold since she was a child, cares not about food and clothing.
She sat on the stool with a dull expression and did not move for a long time.
