Wang Pu walked out of the imperial city from the east side of Xuande Gate and got into a carriage.

He is completely a civil official, but he is not very trimmed, and he only has a purple robe official uniform that is gorgeous, and there are no valuable ornaments, and the goatee on his mouth is also unkempt. The carriage was even more rudimentary, with unpainted compartments and a bamboo curtain hanging from the window, and the pomp and circumstance were not large.

He walked to the door of the hall and stopped for a while. saw Li Xin walking out of the hall, Li Xin's eyes were very sharp, and he recognized Wang Pu's carriage at a glance, and immediately led the horse and walked over quickly.

Wang Pu opened the bamboo curtain with his hand and looked at Li Xin who was approaching. Li Xin hugged his fists beside the car and waved it long: "The grace of the king's rebirth is unforgettable." ”

Wang Pu looked unkind and said: "That big cannibal is not generous, and none of the tribute things are really useful. You must do this with all your heart, and this is a matter that Your Majesty has personally explained. ”

Li Xin nodded hurriedly, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "That Lu Yongzhen, who can translate the words of the Great Eclipse, can learn the language, and must have dealt with the Great Cannibal for a long time. He is also a Han Chinese, which is easy to win over, and the lower officials want to start with Lu Yongzhen first. ”

Wang Pu nodded, didn't say any pleasantries, patted the plank in front of him, and let the groom drive away. Li Xin stood on the side of the street for a long time, bending down and saluting.

Wang Pu glanced back, looked at the gate of the tall imperial city of Xuande Gate, put down the bamboo curtain, sat in the car and closed his eyes.

He was very disappointed, although he was very concerned about acquiring shipbuilding skills and other things on the surface, but compared with the major events related to the rise and fall of the country, such as the Northern Expedition to Liao, Wang Pu did not feel much in his heart.

Why Wei Renpu? Although Wang Pu thinks that Wei Renpu also has talent, in terms of great wisdom, he is worse than himself!

Could it be that the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year was a strategic mistake, and the emperor deliberately snubbed himself? Wang Pu thought about it again, and the strategy at the beginning of the year was obviously insisted on by His Majesty, and Wang Pu's attitude was just that he did not object.

Or is he not respectful enough to Guo Shao? Wang Pu knew that he was like that to everyone, and in front of the emperor, he was not as good at complimenting people as others anyway. Guo Shao doesn't seem to be a small-scale person...... However, it is not certain that the person who sits on the throne attaches great importance to his prestige, for fear that someone will provoke and affect his power. Wang Pu remembered that even people like Shi Yanchao were very obedient to the emperor's words, and always felt that Shi Yanchao was not exactly a reckless man.

Wang Pu sighed, but remembered that the Northern Expedition was quite smooth, and his heart was a little relieved.

…… In the Jinxiang Palace, Fu Jinzhan took the letter written by Guo Shao and read it carefully several times before putting it away. Not a single word was addressed to her, because these letters were first addressed to the Privy Council, but they were also familiar to Guo Shao. It's really not very good-looking, but there is a good thing that is easy to recognize, and every stroke is very rigorous.

At this time, Fu Jinzhan left the east hall and sent an edict to go to the study of the emperor in the west hall to check the files.

She walked along the long corridor on the pedestal behind the Jinxiang Hall and walked eastward. Because the corridor was not spacious, the oncoming palace people knelt down on the side of the road, very respectful.

Fu Jinzhan dragged her long skirt, put her hands in front of the ribbon, and walked slowly with a proper demeanor, and everyone in the palace was in awe of her. She was the queen in the previous dynasty, and her roots in the palace were relatively deep, and her status was also respected; She is not a woman who is terrible to be feared, but a woman who can go to the front hall and get involved in the government and politics is something that most people understand that she can't afford to provoke!

Walking into the west hall, Fu Jinzhan was immediately attracted by the topographic map of the large and small clouds hanging on the wall, even if Guo Shao had been away from Beijing for a long time, he could still feel that he was extremely concerned about the things he was working on as soon as he entered.

Fu Jinzhan casually ordered a few words, and Cao Tai hurriedly went to find the file in person.

She waited as she stood next to the Imperial Case, and found that the edge on the left was worn out, but not on the right...... This is because when using a brush on the right hand, the arm should not be placed on the table in a proper posture.

Fu Jinzhan silently held the imperial case, and his fingertips gently stroked the ground ground. Thinking that the Northern Expedition was going smoothly again, she couldn't help but think of Guo Shao's previous promise. What will happen when this great thing is done......

Suddenly, Fu Jinzhan's mood suddenly got out of control. An indescribable possessiveness wells up in my heart!

Yes, when she is peaceful and wise, she will first consider grievances, the overall situation and other reasons, and she also thinks that she is a woman who has seen the world and knows the general situation. But once the emotions are trapped, they will be swayed by something in the heart.

She thinks that person belongs to her! Whenever you smile and ask the official family who is lucky tonight, can you feel better? Her people are sleeping with other women, and they are like glue with others......

Fu Jinzhan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She repeatedly told herself: It is not common for the wives and concubines of the nobles of Zhumen to be in groups, not to mention that the founding emperor is a major event related to the country and the world.

Accustomed to the turbulent waves of power alternation, chaotic and barbaric scenes, shouldn't have dreamed, those things that only an ignorant little lady would believe.

Perhaps, the signs of success of the Northern Expedition and Guo Shao's sincere commitment gave hope. People are never satisfied.

……

The third year of Xuanren and the twelfth year of Liaoying, March. Upper Beijing.

Yelujing and the nobles of the Khitan tribe really realized the seriousness of the matter, the spring in Shangjing came late, and it seemed to be cold in March!

First of all, the Zhou army went north to expel Yelu Huge's cavalry from the country, although some ministers were worried about the counterattack of the Zhou army, but on the whole, they still attacked and fled north.

Then the Zhou army crossed the Juma River, and Yelu Hugo abandoned Zhuozhou and retreated to Youzhou, and there were still signs of pursuit.

But when the Zhou army transferred as many as two or three hundred thousand infantry cavalry troops to Youzhou, the situation began to escalate and became serious.

Now that the elite of the Liao army has been exhausted, launching a national war, it still cannot solve the threat of Youzhou; Moreover, the Zhou army continued to repair the city and garrison troops, showing no sign of giving up...... It's reached a point where you can't end up and step down!

After Yelu Jing summoned Xiao Siwen and other ministers, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ben Khan thinks that Xiao Siwen should be more suitable than Yelu Huge to guard Youzhou, and he will resume Xiao Siwen as the king of the Southern Court on the same day." ”

Xiao Siwen stood up and didn't say anything, just pressed his hand to his chest and bowed to it. The Khitan people originally had a "dumb ceremony", and Xiao Siwen was not out of order.

However, Yelujing seemed to feel that Xiao Siwen was reluctant, and indeed restored Xiao Siwen's official position at this time, which was a little unkind. Yelu Jing couldn't help but add again, "Gong Xiao is really more experienced in dealing with the southerners." ”

Xiao Siwen immediately said: "It is about the rise and fall of Da Liao, and the minister does not dare to care about personal gains and losses." ”

Ye Lujing had a rare good tone, maybe he didn't feel very worthy of Xiao Siwen. Yelu Jing said: "Xiao Gong can be so loyal and courageous, Ben Khan is very pleased. ”

Xiao Siwen immediately bowed and said: "Please take your family members to Youzhou together, and swear to live and die with Youzhou!" ”

Yelu Jing immediately glared at him, and even the ministers and nobles present also looked sideways. Xiao Siwen said calmly, but he was indeed showing his determination...... It was more dangerous for him to take his family to Youzhou than to put him in Shangjing as a hostage, because as Khitan nobles Xiao and Xiao Siwen, it was impossible for them to surrender to Zhou.

Xiao Siwen expressed his attitude, and said goodbye to the Great Khan.

Out of the palace city, I met the general Yelu obliquely chasing after me. Yelu rode his horse side-by-side and whispered: "The Great Khan is also in a hurry, if he really loses Youzhou, he will not be able to explain to Da Liao." I'm afraid that the Great Khan wants to use Xiao Gong as a scapegoat, and when the time comes, he will accuse Xiao Gong of being stationed in Youzhou and losing his territory! ”

Xiao Siwen said: "Maybe it really means. Now I can't take care of it, Youzhou must not be lost. The vast territory of Daliao is thousands of miles, but a loss of Youzhou will become a reversal of national fortunes! ”

Jerod let out a long sigh.

Xiao Siwen then said goodbye to Yelu, and when he returned home, he told his family to prepare for the salute early. Because there are a lot of things with the family, it is not good to prepare for a day.

The next day, Xiao Siwen heard that Ye Luxian had come to the house without permission, and wondered if the kid might have come to say goodbye to his daughter. At this time, everything was complicated, and Xiao Siwen didn't pay much attention to it.

…… Ye Luxian and Yan Yan were talking in a proper manner under a peach blossom tree.

Yeluxian said: "When Yanyan comes back from Youzhou, I will go and beg your father to marry you to me." So that we can stay together all the time. ”

Yan Yan didn't understand this kind of thing, and she was quite willing to hear this reason, they had a good time with their childhood sweethearts, Yan Yan suddenly thought of something, and burst into tears: "Brother Xian'er is older than me, but I always bully you, if you marry me, aren't you afraid that I will bully you for the rest of your life?" ”

Yeluxian shook his head.

Yan Yan smiled again: "But don't be afraid, Brother Xian, although I bully you, if someone else bullies you, I will always protect you." ”

Ye Luxian suddenly nodded vigorously: "That's it, Yan Yan's mouth is skillful, and she said everything I thought in my heart!" ”

At this moment, a middle-aged Khitan woman came over and shouted to Yeluxian: "We can't stay in Xiao Mansion for too long, just leave after speaking." ”

Ye Luxian reluctantly left, just took two steps and turned back and said, "I am willing to be bullied by Yan Yan for the rest of my life." ”

Yan Yan's pretty face showed a smile and said, "Brother Xian'er is so stupid! ”

Yeluxian said: "I'm not stupid, who is good to me, I know it in my heart." ”

Yeluxian is fourteen years old, and his health is a little weak, because his parents were frightened when they were killed, and he has been in poor health since he fell ill, but his bumpy upbringing made him more sensible. Since she was a child, she liked the beautiful and lively Yanyan, not to mention that her father was a person with real power and power in Daliao, and this was the best partner in Ye Luxian's eyes.

His father was the Great Liao Emperor and his mother was the Empress Zhenggong. His noble background has always made him proud in his heart, but his actual status makes him have to endure it, and he is not very old, but there is a certain desire and unwillingness in his heart.

A teenager left the Xiao Mansion, and the Xiao Mansion was a little chaotic, and the teenager did not attract much attention. The still chilly wind swept through the houses of the Xiao Mansion, and everything seemed to be in turmoil.
