In the evening at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Guo Shao felt bored and listened to Guo Zhang's recitation of the article he had just learned, so he asked him to rest. Only Guo Zhang's mother Li Yuaner was left with Guo Shao.
"The right way is a tiger father without a dog son. Our youngest man (Li Jilong) has good aptitude. I heard Dong Zunhao said after the banquet that Li Jilong’s marching was very fast, and there were quite a few rules. Erlang is very rare." Guo Shao said in a casual tone.
Li Yuaner said: "There are too many qualified young people in the world. It is not the trust of your majesty that he has the opportunity to be loyal to the country."
Li Yuan'er's more rounded and delicate face, with a submissive expression, with a soft smile. But the most difficult thing in the world to penetrate and demand is the human heart, and Guo Shao can hardly guess how much of that smile is from the heart.
Guo Shao couldn't help sighing, remembering Li Yuan'er's sincerity back then, reaching out and holding Li Yuan'er's little hand, with a guilty expression on his face, and said: "I am also very sad for the death of Li Gong."
Li Yuaner almost shed tears in an instant, but after a little silence, she whispered: "The people of Liao are sinister with their heart, and your majesty is wise and martial, and you have revenge. My father should be relieved in the spirit of heaven."
She meant that Zhong Li, who poisoned Li Chuyun, was a spy from the Liao Kingdom. This is also what many officials said.
Guo Shao nodded after hearing this: "I am very pleased that the concubine can understand the general situation."
Li Yuaner said softly: "Your Majesty has great kindness to both the concubine body and the Li family. The concubine cannot repay the concubine body even if he is a cow or a horse. The concubine body still does not change the original intention for the concubine.
At this time, Guo Shao has an unspeakable dilemma. He actually wants to sincerely talk with people close to him, but...Since he has the six houses of Sannomiya through great power|power and rules , Li Yuan'er or anyone dare to vent to Guo Shao's innermost emotions?
And now Li Yuaner's performance is very in line with her identity and situation. Guo Shao felt that there was nothing wrong with her.
...In the early spring, the days are still short and the nights are long. The next day Guo Shao left the imperial concubine's palace and went to the Jinxiang Palace early, but the sky was still dark.
Last night he talked a lot with Li Yuan'er, the harem has become a government|governance, and there is almost no intention of a thousand words, but Li Yuan'er's unintentional unchanging original intention impressed Guo Shao very much. deep.
Today was the meeting of the central ministers discussing politics once every three days, so Guo Shao came to the Palace of Discussions early.
He took a lamp from the **** Cao Tai, and shone it on the wall behind the throne. There was a large map hung on it. Under the nearby lighting, he could see every line on the map clearly. It is difficult to make a precise drawing, but the current map has changed the previous habit of drawing mountains and rivers and cities very large and intuitively. Instead, the concept of proportion and size are emphasized; therefore, this map has very few drawings, but lines and circles.
This is the territory he rules|rules.
Not long after, Guo Shao found from Yu Guangli that Cao Tai standing next to him raised his head and glanced up, and he guessed that some minister had come early.
Guo Shao said without looking back: "Since I was enthroned, I have not only gained glory, wealth and supreme power, but also must assume missions and responsibilities. Each dynasty has its mission, and some have to cultivate and cultivate. To restore the Han population, some have to expel foreign troubles to avoid extinction|national extinction|species, and some have to end the division and unification of rivers and mountains. What do you think is the mission of Da Xu?"
Cao Tai was stunned and didn't speak easily. The people behind him were also a little surprised, as if the emperor still had eyes on his back.
That humanity: "In response to your majesty, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the borders and cracks have been divided and the countries have been standing side by side. It is a general trend to regain lost land and dominate the world."
Hearing the sound, Guo Shao knew that the early person was Zuo You.
Guo Shao turned his head to look, and saw Zuo You standing in the middle of the empty meeting hall with his fists folded and bowed. The two looked at each other from a distance. The deaths of Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun really made Guo Shao hard to let go, so that seeing Zuo You also had an inexplicable feeling... At the beginning, they almost killed Zuo You’s old friendship for so many years. .
He continued to illuminate the line on the map with the lamp, and casually said, "There are still places such as the Dali Kingdom and the Jingnan Army that have not returned, but the overall situation has been determined." He pondered for a moment and said, "My original intention is not only Limited to this."
Zuo You said: "The minister is willing to hear about your majesty's outline."
Guo Shao put down the lamp holder, turned around, and his eyes brightened: "Sweep the world away, establish a fair and clear system and order, the people will be rich, the country will be honored; and then the country will have a bright future."
Zuo You immediately bowed: "Your majesty is a great talent, and the ministers are willing to do their best for your majesty's great ambition."
At this time, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and other people came again, and when they saw Guo Shao standing there, they all clasped their fists in prayer.
Perhaps at first glance, several ministers thought that Guo Shao was just talking grandly. But Guo Shao recalled his enthusiasm when he was younger, and he really thought so. His ideals when he fought in the South and the North were indeed the same.
Now he doesn't want to change his original intention, but finds that he seemed to have taken it for granted; conspiracy and cruelty not only happened to others, but he also did a lot! Bright dreams are just imagination after all. What's wrong?
Perhaps there is nothing wrong, but everything must have a process, a long process over thousands of years.
Guo Shao is unwilling to doubt his ideals in the system. Just as he would not doubt that the progress of the production method is the direction of the future, according to experience, the Western Convenience dominated the future world through the Industrial Revolution... Although in this world, he cannot see that day.
The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and more than two dozen civil and military ministers arrived one after another.
After the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, Guo Shao put aside his morning cranky thoughts, and said clearly: "Spring is coming, and the weather is getting warmer. I want to fight the battle of Liao."
There was a lot of discussion in the Hall of Evidence. Prime Minister Li Gu clasped his fist and said: "The world has been chaotic for a long time. After many countries have ruled, they have fought for years. Our dynasty defeated the Liao army in Hedong. At this time, the northern expedition is again, and the war is long. I cannot make ends meet."
General Gao Huaide also said: "The official dragon body has recovered from the beginning. If you want to conquer the Liao, you only need to send a general."
Guo Shao said: "I have been in the palace for too long, so I want to take advantage of this battle to rejoin the battle." He meant that for so long, he gave the world a sickly impression, and now he has to prove his martial arts again.
Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Li Gu again: "Don’t worry about Li Xianggong. Except for regaining the Youzhou war, the Xujun army has always been quick to fight. This time is no exception. We are not going to fight the Liao army in the northeast. The goal of this battle is to force Liao to seek peace."
Several prime ministers seemed relieved when they heard that, Li Gu also changed his attitude and said: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and the world is fortunate."
Guo Shao turned his eyes slightly and motioned to Wei Renpu.
As usual, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, went to the head of the ministers and hung up a map of Liaodong. He calmly bowed to the officials: "Everyone, the state policy to the north of the imperial court was to take the Hexi, build a racecourse, open up the Western Regions, obtain enough horses and cavalry, and then turn to the defense to attack the Liao State."
Everyone seconded.
Wei Renpu said: "However, the situation has changed. The old man and Wang Shijun thought it was out of time to continue the national policy at this time. Last autumn, the Liao State once again lost more than 30,000 Khitan and Xi’s troops in Hedong. It has been in the past five years. More than 80,000 troops were wasted, and Liao’s military power was no longer in the past. At this time, Liao’s internal troubles were even worse.
We don’t need to expend our national power to expand the cavalry a lot. We just need to force the lord and peacemakers to take power, and the two countries will negotiate a peace agreement. Then, with the help of the Liao State, the northern tribes can be used to solve the border troubles of the northern border. "
Civil and military discussions were so noisy that Wei Renpu kept raising his voice.
Civil officials are obviously very supportive of the change of national policy. Over the years, Guo Shao understands the historical and historical experience of the civil officials very well. At the beginning of the country, he should recuperate, especially when foreign troubles are not serious. The generals are not satisfied, and war can bring them military merit.
Shi Yanchao simply yelled: "We have fought so many battles with the Liao Kingdom, and have died so many brothers and people. Are we going to reconcile now?"
Wang Pu said: "A month ago, Yang Ye wrote that the Hutuo River was filled with the corpses of the Liao army. The river was almost dry, and the corpses were everywhere in the valley. If we talk about blood debts, why not stop us from hating the Liao people?"
Guo Shao opened his mouth and said: "General Shi rest assured, there are still many battles to be fought."
As soon as everyone looked at each other, the emperor seemed to have caught Shi Yanchao's mind.
Guo Shao shot the royal case and ignored the disputes of the people, and said directly: "That's it. Deputy Envoy Wei will continue to talk about the strategy."
Wei Renpu bowed his hand and pointed at the map calmly with the palm of his hand: "Liaoyang Mansion is the rule of the Dongdan Kingdom (the old place of Bohai), and Da Xu is threatening Liaoyang in three ways. The main force rode out of Pingzhou to sweep western Liaoning. Siege of Jinzhou; Jiaolong army transported two roads from the water, and captured Tiezhou (Yingkou) and Suzhou (Dalian).
Dongdan is an important place in the heart of Liao, and the Liao court must not sit idly by. They may gather the army to save Liaoyang and fight against our country; if they are not willing to fight, they can only accept the negotiation. "
Shi Yanchao opened his mouth and asked: "If the Liao State fails to submit, we will not have enough cavalry. We should build the castle all the way to Liaoyang Prefecture as if attacking Youzhou?"
Wei Renpu said: "Dashuai Shi has a good question. If so, we will retreat after recovering Jinzhou."
He looked back around, "After Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the northeastern lands were under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom. Xu Jun sent out to attack the areas under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom, captured a city, and erected a stone tablet to engrave his achievements. Even if you retreat, it doesn’t count as losing momentum."
In Guo Shao’s view, the Liao army would never be able to fight in Jinzhou. The most likely thing is to use cavalry to harass the grain road when Xu Jun goes deep into nothing. So as long as you make up your mind not to drive straight forward, This battle is invincible...This is also one of the reasons why Guo Shao wants to conquer himself. He didn't need to risk his prestige at this time.
Wei Renpu said again: "Of course, this is only the most unfavorable situation. Although a large number of troops can be called a victory, the income of a city is really not worth the cost of using a large army. The best result is to force Liao to give up and Da Xu is an enemy, come to seek peace."
