Tokyo’s inner city streets are paved with bricks and stones, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the pavement is extra crisp, "Da Da Da..." Every sound falls into the plate like peas.

Guo Shao looked at the outside scene, his eyes quickly attracted by an unfinished building complex. He looked around the location, and asked casually: "This is the Gongde Pavilion that we asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone to supervise and build?"

Li Chuyun nodded and said yes.

As the carriage moved forward, Guo Shao's head also turned, watching the place with his eyes for a long time. He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Chuyun, who was sitting across from him. Li Chuyun owed himself too busy.

"General Li a hundred years later, the portrait can also be hung in it." Guo Shao said casually.

Li Chuyun clasped his fist and said: "Your majesty is all your merits, and ministers dare not take credit."

Li Chuyun's posture is very restrained, but Guo Shao speaks very directly: "But my portrait cannot be hung in this place, it should be in the Taimiao."

Li Chuyun looked distressed for a while, as if it was difficult to respond to this sentence. Guo Shao just wondered... if Li Chuyun agreed, it seems that the emperor has been more taboo against death since ancient times, otherwise, how can there be such a saying that there is no limit to life.

"Fine, let's not talk about this." Guo Shao waved his hand.

Li Chuyun was busy looking at it, turning the subject off.

But Guo Shao’s thoughts did not change so quickly. He was thinking about the Xuanren Gongde Pavilion that he saw just now. Suddenly there was an idea: Most Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs favored the Northern Expedition. There may also be reasons for this Gongde Pavilion. They wanted to do their best to make contributions. The opportunity to stay and keep his name... But Guo Shao's decrement to build this place was not for this purpose.

Not long ago, the scope of knowing about the attack on Youzhou was extended to the political affairs hall (for such a big matter, the prime ministers had to be informed), and he was opposed by the prime minister, Fan Zhi, who wanted to scold those who supported the Northern Expedition to encourage the emperor to be aggressive. However, this kind of achievements in opening up territories does not have much to do with civil officials.

Those who can leave portraits and merits in it don’t know how many lives are in their hands. Guo Shao himself did not know how many people were killed.

In front of the minister, Guo Shao couldn't just say whatever he thought. In the past, Li Chuyun was a good friend and colleague. It was more convenient to talk, but Guo Shao couldn't do it after he became a throne... During this trip, I had a lot of conversations with Li Chuyun, but I can see that Li Chuyun is also very cautious in speaking.

Guo Shao also kept silent about what he thought.

After a while, he looked at Li Chuyun and said with a serious face: "No matter what we do, we can’t avoid being overwhelmed. What we do is just to exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of the people. The soldiers are doing for others. Sacrifice."

Li Chuyun's expression condensed and said: "Your Majesty treats the people of the world with kindness, and the people are very lucky."

Guo Shao elaborated: "The Liao people occupy the land of Youyun. Once they have the opportunity, they will easily invade southward. Just like last year, the Youzhou Army looted Yi and Ding Erzhou. If the main force of the Liao Army went south, it would be a disaster. The land is wider.

We are not trying to rejoice, we are doing what we should do. Even these things require a lot of lives. "

Guo Shao is arguing with Li Chuyun and seems to be convincing himself.

However, he certainly did not start wars only for noble reasons. Everyone has desires or dreams, and Guo Shao is no exception.

...Back to the imperial city, Guo Shao did not go to the Jinxiang Temple again, and went straight to Xuanyoumen. Because today is a ten-day holiday, and the monarchs and ministers are not working, it is the time to bathe and change clothes for one day during the holiday, which is equivalent to the weekend of future generations. However, weekends come from Christianity, and taking vacations is an ancient tradition.

Guo Shao didn't want to go to Zide Hall or Long Live Hall, so he simply went to Sanqing Hall and Taoist Hall in the Imperial Palace.

It's very peaceful here, it's a clean repair place. He first visited Qingxu and talked to her for a while, but he didn't have much common language with Qingxu, after all, he was too young.

Guo Shao remembered Concubine Zhang, who was a monk here, and asked that she was still in the Sanqing Hall. He vaguely remembered a sentence from Concubine Zhang Taigui. After she said it, she would see the emperor again, whether it was one or two years or ten years. So Guo Shao temporarily decided to visit Concubine Zhang Taigui.

The Zhang family welcomes Guo Shao into the room at the gate of Qingxiu's temple. There is only one Taoist aunt around, and the etiquette is relatively simple.

Guo Shao immediately asked: "The imperial concubine is good in Sanqing Hall, what is the cost?"

Zhang's slowly said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are kind to the people in the palace, I am very good here. Your Majesty, please sit down."

Guo Shao sat down on the futon beside the wooden table in front of a wooden window, and Zhang's whispered again: "People like me didn't bother before, thank you Majesty."

Guo Shao said: "You don't have to thank the imperial concubine, I also think it is very good here, far away from the world."

Zhang suddenly whispered: "If your majesty wants to be quiet, you can come and sit often. I usually don't have anyone talking."

The aunt is boiling water and tea inside, and she can be seen from the hall outside. Guo Shao really felt that the atmosphere here was different, although in the court, he seemed to be cut off from everything.

He saw Go on the table, and immediately looked down at the game on it.

When Zhang saw this, he smiled and said: "If your majesty is interested, let's play the backgammon you taught me?"

Guo Shao said: "That game is too simple, it's boring to play it all the time. Too Guifei taught me to play Go?"

Zhang looked at Guo Shao's face: "Your Majesty really knows how to play chess?"

"It's true, I was just a martial artist before. Where can these elegant things happen?" Guo Shao said without pressure, he found that it is really easy in this place, "but I understand the most basic rules, besiege I was eaten by flags and places, and then counted who occupies the largest territory."

A former imperial concubine almost forgotten will always be imprisoned in the palace. Guo Shao really feels that she cannot have any influence on the government.

After listening to Zhang, he explained several strategies in detail, and then asked Guo Shao to practice with her.

After a long time, the Taoist aunt next to Zhang brought the tea, everything was very slow, the simple hall was filled with a faint tea fragrance, from time to time there was a soft "pop" sound, and time seemed to be It passed more slowly.

The furnishings of this place are very simple. Even the tables where they play chess are made of ordinary wood, and they are not even painted. However, it made Guo Shao feel relaxed, without so many decorations to affect people's mood.

Guo Shao said: "I heard that in the game, we must meet our opponents. Will the imperial concubine play chess with an opponent like me, will it be boring?"

Zhang's face was smiling, watching Guo Shao intently, and shook his head without hesitation.

The two continued to play chess in silence. Two people who once had only one side bond really lacked understanding, and they didn't seem to be able to say much.

Zhang took advantage of the gap and lifted the thin-mouthed teapot to pour a cup of tea into the small cup, handed it to Guo Shao, and said softly: "This is a place where there is no desire for tea. There is nothing special about tea sets, and there is no good tea. , Your Majesty should not dislike it."

Guo Shao glanced at her after hearing this, and felt that a truly pure-hearted person might not care about these extraneous things. Zhang's is really not like a real pure-skilled person. She is too gorgeous. Her black hair, white skin, red lips, the charm between the eyebrows and the lines between the plump **** all destroy that temperament.

He calmed down and said: "As long as the teapot doesn't leak, the value of a hundred guan is the same as the value of a few words."

Zhang looked at him thoughtfully.

Guo Shao said again: "Precious things are just because people agree with their value. As long as we both agree that these things are very particular, it is a good tea."

Zhang Shi gently raised his cloth sleeves to cover his mouth, and smiled: "Your Majesty's words are really interesting."

There was another silence, and only the voice of the son was left, and the two of them spoke with each other. Guo Shao suddenly asked again: "Does the concubine believe that there are ghosts in this world after death?"

Zhang's face changed as he closed his smile. Guo Shao suddenly realized that she might be thinking of Taizu who had died.

Her eyelashes trembled in the stream of light from the window, and she pursed her mouth, pretending to be relaxed: "I am a Taoist priest, and I shouldn't be afraid of ghosts."

Guo Shao raised his head and glanced at her: "What I think of is that so many battles have been fought in a few years, and it is unclear how many people have been killed."

"Since ancient times, the great cause has been built from bones." Zhang changed his mouth.

Guo Shao nodded: "This Go is also very interesting. The person who invented it back then must be the one who participated in the competition for the highest position in the world. Both sides of the game are trying their best to occupy the territory, and the more people can win. Constantly thinking If you want to fight for more territory, if you want to be bigger and stronger, you can't take it anymore."

Zhang said: "Although your majesty is a beginner in chess, he is immediately comprehending the artistic conception."

Guo Shao gave a reluctant smile: "I just can’t help thinking too much about everything now, maybe it’s not a good thing. Recently, I feel more and more that I have lost my previous indomitable spirit, something that has been clearly decided. I often look forward and feel restless."

The Zhang clan pondered for a moment, and said with a good word: "Your Majesty captured the Xiongcheng Jinyang for half a month and disturbed the world. You have long been the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is inevitable for those in the throne to think a lot."

"Oh?" Guo Shao finally felt that this person who had been a noble concubine had really seen the world.

At this time, his body and mind are relaxed, and the backlog of emotions in his heart also emerge. Normally in front of people, even if he has any emotions, he will be upright and confident, so as to stabilize people's hearts.

Guo Shao really feels that he is in a bad mood this time. Now he has more and more things, and his situation is getting better and better, but his mood is getting worse. He really doesn't know what's going on.

The two played a few games in a row, because the chess did not meet the opponent and played quickly. Seeing that it was almost noon, Guo Shao got up and left.

Zhang's said: "If your majesty is not too sloppy, you can also have lunch in Sanqing Hall."

Guo Shao immediately smiled and said: "I'm here to visit the elders of the royal family. It's not good to stay for too long and have to eat. The royal concubine takes care of her body, and I will come to greet you later."

He went on to say: "I will remember the conversation with the royal concubine."
