Qin Mu recited casually, his face was indifferent, and the morning breeze outside the window blew, stirring the pages on the table:

"In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, lifelike butterflies. Self-metaphor is suitable for the will! I don't know how to do it. Oh Ran Jue, then Yu Ran Zhou also. I don't know if Zhou's dream is a butterfly? Butterfly Dream for the Week? Zhou and butterflies must be separated. This is called materialization. ”

He leaned against the window, looked at the distant sky, and chewed on a passage that translated:

In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a butterfly, a lifelike butterfly, how happy and comfortable he felt! I didn't know that I was originally Zhuang Zhou. I woke up suddenly, and I realized in a panic that I was Zhuang Zhou. I don't know if Zhuang Zhou became a butterfly in his dream, or did a butterfly dream that he became Zhuang Zhou? There must be a difference between Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly. This is called the intersection and change of the crop and me.

There was a sound of soft footsteps around him, and then a warm body leaned towards him, Qin Mu turned his head and saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars, looking at him quietly, just like when he first came to this world.

"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this title, Qin Mu felt a wisp of warmth in his heart, he took Qiao'er's little head into his arms, stroked her hair and temples and said: "Brother Qin is a real tyrant now, he has killed many people, in fact, Brother Qin knows that most of them are not guilty to death, girl, do you think Brother Qin is ruthless?" ”。

"I don't know, but leaning on Brother Qin's arms, I feel that I am still so warm and safe."

Qin Mu smiled. didn't say anything more, hugged her and quietly looked at the towering palace group, above the palace group, the blue sky veins, and the white clouds.

"Brother Qin, I heard that you are going to tour north when autumn is approaching, right?"

Yun Qiao'er put her arms around his waist, hugging him a little tighter, and her little head arched back and forth, as if looking for the warmest place.

Qin Mu nodded and replied, "Yes." The good side lies in the fact that two major hidden dangers in the army have been eliminated, but there is also a bad side, that is, it is inevitable that some people in the army will have fluctuations in their lives, and they need to be cheered up.

Moreover, this routine northern tour was originally planned. At that time, the leaders of the Mongolian and Tibetan tribes will come to meet with me, and if I suddenly cancel this northern tour, it will inevitably make the leaders of the tribes feel twice, which will be very unfavorable to the ongoing reform of the land and return to the stream. ”

"I know. I know, I also want Brother Qin to tour the north, but this time, Brother Qin wants to take me. Can you bring me with you? ”。

"Hehe, I know that you ghost girl is going to be entangled, okay. I promise you it is. ”

"Great!" Yun Qiao'er happily hugged his neck and kissed him on the face, and the eyes that were already as bright as stars were bright and bright.

Qin Mu couldn't figure out what the reason was, but holding this girl, he was very relieved and real, and the emotion of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly went away with the wind.

If life is only as it first seems, maybe! Although this girl has become a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she still maintains an optimistic and flexible heart, which is very precious in Qin Mu's opinion, especially after seeing too many conspiracies and intrigues, and after experiencing many life and death battles, the more she feels that this innocence is precious.

Whenever he feels lost in his heart, seeing the pure and bright eyes of Yun Qiao'er, Qin Mu can find the origin of life anew, and then he can smooth out the warp and weft of life again.

This is somewhat incredible, but it is true.

This is also why Qin Mu's feelings for her are very special, Qiao'er seems to be his roots.

Everyone in this world has their own roots, and each person's roots can be their parents, ancestors, or the mountains and rivers of their hometown, which can be a grass and a tree in their childhood memories.

When you go out with great ambitions, you tend to ignore these things and don't feel how important your roots are.

But when you are lost, or when you are old, no matter how many ups and downs you have experienced and how far you have wandered, you will unconsciously think of your roots and want to return to the origin of life.

And Qin Mu in this life, there is just no these, no parents, no hometown, no childhood memories, his heart is actually weaker, the first Qiao'er who shares his joys and sorrows with him, has unconsciously become the origin of his life, his roots.

"Girl, come, Brother Qin hugs!"

"Uh-huh!" Yun Qiao'er called softly, her little head arching back and forth in his arms, "Brother Qin!" ”

"Girl, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just want to call you, Brother Qin, I can call you that all the time, right?"

"Hehe, until your hair is gray and your teeth are gone, you can still call it that."

"No, I don't want my teeth to fall out."

"Hahaha"

"Brother Qin, I haven't been to the grassland yet, I heard that in the autumn of the grassland, the clouds are particularly white, the sky is particularly high, the earth is particularly vast, and the wind is particularly cool, anyway, I want to go now, by the way, Brother Qin is going to the grassland on this northern tour?"

"It is estimated that it is necessary to go out of the customs to inspect, to promote the progress of changing the land to the stream, and further accelerate the sinicization, it is necessary to show the prestige of Daqin, and at the same time collect the hearts of the people of the grassland, and the east and west sides have just been included in the territory of Daqin, and I have a great effect on the stability of these places."

The emperor's northern tour had a strong declarative role in politics.

To put it bluntly, it's like the lion king patrolling his territory, and when other animals smell a little, they will be much more honest and dare not invade.

The people of the Central Plains have been influenced by Confucian culture for thousands of years, and they are accustomed to the rule of the city, that is, the emperor sits in the Forbidden City, as long as he gives benevolent government, he can also make the people return to their hearts.

But the nomads outside the border are more accustomed to "ruling the country" and are more wild, and if you don't make a round and show your prestige and force, they will be sluggish, think that you are nothing great, and then rebel.

Throughout the original history, only the Qing Dynasty was basically not threatened by the nomadic tribes outside the Guan, except that the Jurchens themselves came from the Guanwai and strengthened their marriage with Mongolia, and Kangxi, Qianlong and others often went out of the customs and held a huge hunt in the Mulan enclosure also had a great relationship.

Qin Mu originally set a northern tour once every three or five years, it was out of this consideration, at least in his lifetime, he wanted to adhere to this policy.

If he can live to be sixty or seventy years old and persist for a few decades, the north will basically return to his heart.

Considering that this will bring a lot of expense, it is not necessary to send hundreds of thousands of troops out of Mongolia like Emperor Yongle, or to make a hunting activity of 120,000 people.

Qin Mu toured the north and decided to bring 5,000 elites, and then mobilize 10,000 or 20,000 border troops from Dangjiang to participate in the exercise.

When Yun Qiao'er heard that he was going to go out, she smiled like a flower and hugged him and didn't let go.

"Girl, let go, don't you go now, why are you hugging so tightly?"

"Hee-hee, just hug, just hug!"

"Hahaha"

Qin Mu was laughing heartily, and he reported in from outside, saying that He Liang, the secretary of the military department, asked to see him. Qin Mu expected that He Liang would ask to see him at this time, and there might be a major military situation, so he immediately asked the little eunuch to bring people into the palace.

"He's a confidential secretary." Yun Qiao'er hurriedly let go of the jade arm around his neck and ran to the table to polish the ink.

As soon as Qin Mu returned to the imperial table and sat down, He Liang walked in quickly, and saluted: "Minister He Liang, knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"He Qing, but there is a battle report from the front?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely that the Ministry of War has just received two battle reports, one of which is that the Sangha defeated Aurangzeb and advanced to Delhi, and Batur of the Western Regions is actively preparing to abandon the Western Regions and make every effort to seize northern India.

Second, Chebai and Li Dingshun joined forces in the Kazakh Central Tent, and before the news was returned, they were marching to the small tent on the Caspian Sea, and now it is estimated that they are already at war with the Kazakh and Osmanian armies. ”

These two pieces of news were very important, and Qin Mu couldn't help but ask, "Where is Su Jin's army now?" Is there any news coming back? ”
