225 First south and then north

I looked at Wan'er with joy, and I didn't feel a little sour in my eyes, But if you have a beautiful woman treated like this, what can you say!

I took her hand and patted the back of her hand a few times to reassure her, and I smiled and said:

"Wait for me for a moment, and wait for me to fetch something. ”

Then he reluctantly let go of her hand, and got up and went to the bookshelf, and when he came back a few moments, he had a large picture of a half-cooked sheepskin scroll in his hand, and after he sat down beside her, he slowly unfolded the scroll in front of the table with her curious gaze.

Wan'er looked at me with a pretended mysterious expression, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What is this?"

With a smile on the corner of my mouth, I unfolded the scroll and said simply and clearly, saying:

"The world!"

These two words are clear and powerful, and their bearing is extraordinary, Wan'er smiled faintly, and couldn't help but look sideways.

When the panorama of this picture scroll came into view, Wan'er couldn't help but secretly marvel, Isn't this picture in front of her a map of the world's sub-bureaus?

Seeing the mountains and rivers in the map, the important rivers are marked in detail, and the three-thirds of the world that has lasted for hundreds of years is also undoubtedly revealed in the map, Wan'er can't help but feel quite agitated about this picture, As the commander of an army, Wan'er understands that this map is very important and of great significance.

Wan'er lowered her eyes slightly and asked:

"Where did you get this diagram?"

I paused slightly, and said:

"The royal collection of books in the Qi Palace - Wenyuan Pavilion. ”

Looking at the majestic distribution map of the rivers and mountains in front of me, I was also excited and difficult to calm down.

When Wan'er heard this, she glanced at me with a rather interesting expression, looked at me with a smile on her face, and then said lightly:

"You look like this, don't you want me to praise you?"

With a smug look on my face, I asked rhetorically:

"Shouldn't you praise me?"

Wan'er smiled and bowed slightly, and said with ulterior motives:

"Ah, that's right, it seems that there are still a lot of good objects in this palace, so it's no wonder that some people will covet the treasures in this Northern Qi Palace!"

I heard the sound of the outside of the painting, and scratched my cheeks meaninglessly, anyway, I sat down on the sin of "coveting treasures", and honestly confessed to my daughter-in-law, I can be regarded as confessing leniently!

"This picture is worthless to a person with good wealth, but if he has the world in his heart, it is a priceless treasure!"

Wan'er seemed to hear something interesting, looked at my clear eyes, and asked rhetorically, saying:

"People who have the world in mind, can't you see that your heart is so big?"

Although Wan'er asked this question, pointing out that I was too ambitious, there was no anger on my face, let alone the so-called suspicion.

Although Wan'er and I are not only husband and wife, but also the difference between kings and ministers, I also love and respect her at the same time, no matter what the reason, my ambition and desire have never been hidden from Wan'er, and I don't want to hide it from her, and I can't hide it at all.

Therefore, the basis of the two of us getting along is to be sincere with each other.

I knocked on the table and said with a smile:

"Well, I do have ambitions, and I have the world in mind, but I have this heart not for merit, but for virtue. ”

Wan'er looked at me with interest and continued to ask:

"What is the difference between meritorious deeds and virtuous deeds?"

"Meritorious people, the emperor opens up the territory, makes meritorious contributions, and rules the world; and virtue is the courtier's auxiliary king, and the lower peace and prosperity, so that the world is free from war, and the people live and work in peace and contentment; I am a courtier, with the world in mind, only for the stability of the people, and the stability of the society; and Wan'er, you also have the world in mind, and its pattern is beyond my reach, Wan'er, forgive me for being bold, do you have the heart of the emperor's meritorious deeds?"

I asked very seriously, but Wan'er couldn't say it with a joke, and I suddenly felt embarrassed.

After a pause, Wan'er also responded to me very seriously, saying:

"I don't have that in mind. ”

Hearing this, I have mixed feelings in my heart, some peace of mind, and some loss of mind......

In addition to personal feelings, I really don't want Wan'er to become an iron-fisted and indifferent person like the emperor's grandmother, but in terms of justice, Wan'er has the courage and strategy of a wise decision-maker, and she has a very peculiar affinity and appeal, which will attract different talents to gather around her, if she is a man, and has such a noble bloodline and origin, it will definitely be the king's best choice.

If there is such a king in the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as the government is clean and peaceful, within ten years, he will be able to dominate the world and open the peace of the prosperous world.

Pity......

I sighed lightly, and suddenly I couldn't tell whether this was a sigh of relief or a sigh that fate was full of variables, and I didn't dare to think about it further, looking at her eyes, the expression on my face was also changing several times with joy and worry, I nodded, and said:

"Whatever the situation holds in the future, I will follow your decision. ”

Wan'er smiled comfortingly, leaned quietly on my shoulder, and said gently:

"Thank you, morning!"

I couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, and I couldn't help but feel more pity.

Looking at the geographical distribution map of the world in front of me, I was silent for a moment and asked:

"Wan'er, the marshal's injuries have worsened?"

In fact, when he returned to the barracks that day and saw the marshal, he realized that the marshal's energy had long been much less than before, not only because the marshal was old, but more importantly, the marshal's recurrence was difficult to cure, and this crusade should be the final battle of the generalissimo.

"Hmm. ”

When Wan'er heard this, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, but she bowed her head slightly and answered softly.

"In this way, you are about to succeed you as the commander of the Yanyun Dragoon Guard. ”

Hearing the sadness in my tone, Wan'er couldn't help but feel uneasy, and took the initiative to hold my hand to comfort me for a while.

I don't blame me for being like this, Wan'er succeeding as the commander of the Yanyun Dragon Cavalry Guard is expected, but this also means that she will definitely return to Huaishuo to complete the transfer of military power, and the two of us will have to be separated for several months.

I sighed helplessly and said leisurely:

"Although I am sad, since the day I knew that you were Xiao Jue, I have realized that as long as you are safe and sound, I have nothing else to ask for. ”

Wan'er didn't feel guilty, since marrying this enemy, the two of them have never really lived a few days of peace and tranquility, fighting for the regime, the waves are turbulent, and there is a danger inside; and the Northern Qi war together, the two of them are even less together and more separated, the sky is separated, the two sides are concerned, in the troubled times, want a peace and peace, how easy is it to talk about? Even now it seems that even being by her side has become a kind of unattainable thing, how can you not feel guilty?

Wan'er couldn't help but reach out and touch my face, looked at me affectionately with guilt, and said:

"I'm sorry, Chen, I'm not a good wife!"

I shook my head slightly, looked back at her affectionately, and said:

"No, you're fine, really, it's a blessing to have a wife like you, do you know how much I miss God?"

Between the four eyes, I didn't feel emotional, my eyes flashed and fluctuated, and my eyes were a little sour.

In order not to make Wan'er sad, I smiled and said:

"Don't talk about this, between you and me, you don't need to worry about that. ”

Turning my gaze to the map on the table, I couldn't help but say:

"After the recovery of Liyang, the land of Northern Qi will be owned by my Northern Wei Dynasty, and the trend of one-third of the world that has lasted for hundreds of years has also been broken, and my Northern Wei Dynasty will rule the Yangtze River north and south with Nan Chen, and the day of the unification of the world is not far away!"

Wan'er knows that I have a long-term national policy in my chest, and since the Northern Qi Dynasty is subsumed into the Northern Wei Dynasty, the situation in the world will become clearer, and the next thing is to see how the rulers judge and implement the situation in the world.

That "Ping Qi Ce" showed her political talent, and bluntly said that she wanted to pacify the feudal town, you can know that she has a very clear judgment and appropriate response to the situation between the DPRK and China, Wan'er knows that the enemy in front of her is a brave and resourceful person, she never does anything that she is not sure of, and if she doesn't make a move, she will definitely hit it with a shot.

"Let's talk about your long-term national policy. ”

Apparently, Wan'er had realized why I had shown her the map.

The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I pointed to the map, and said:

"First the south and then the north, diligently repair internal affairs within three years, enrich the country and strengthen the army, destroy the Chen State and weaken the Turks within ten years!"

After thinking for a moment, Wan'er asked:

"Do you want to destroy the Chen State first, and then reject the Turks in the north?"

Wan'er also knows that it is not easy to destroy the Turks, regardless of their combat strength, it is difficult to occupy the Turkic territory, the reason is that the Turks are nomadic people, and the camp of the Great Khan is set up wherever he goes, so it can be said that there is no stable capital at all, you can drive them away today, and they will come back again in another day, and over time, our army will be tired of coping, which is not a long-term solution; moreover, the north is dominated by grasslands, the climate is harsh, and it is not suitable for cultivating grain, and the Turks have repeatedly committed border looting, which is the main reason, and the occupation of enemy territory requires a large number of migratory subjects to settle here, so that the people can stay away from their homeland and live in this uneasy place, which is really a waste of money and more than worth the loss。

Moreover, in all fairness, if the people of our Northern Wei Dynasty did not allow the Turks to go south to conquer our land, how could the fierce and warlike Turks be willing to submit to the rule of our Northern Wei Dynasty?

Therefore, to deal with the Turks, we cannot be like dealing with the Northern Qi and Southern Chen, generalizing to destroy the country, we need to use the Turks to govern the Turks, try to disperse their forces, weaken their strength, break them one by one, and then threaten them with the force of a strong country, and lure them because of wealth, so that they are always under the control of our Northern Wei Dynasty, which is the best policy.

In order to control the northern Turks, it is necessary to have a strong comprehensive national strength as a deterrent, which is also the original intention of the strategy of "first the south and then the north".

I nodded, and continued:

"Ideally, if there is an unexpected situation, you can also take advantage of the situation, first weaken the Turks, and then go south to destroy Chen. It's just that whether it is the south first and then the north or the north and then the south, the Northern Wei Dynasty must reform its internal affairs, enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that it can have the capital to compete for the world, and my first responsibility is to reform internal affairs!"

Renovating internal affairs is a battle to the death between the old and new forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they will never stop until they make a fuss.

Wan'er is very aware of the dangers and tribulations involved, and she also knows that this is what I must do, and this is what only I can do in this situation.

Although Wan'er believed in my abilities, she still couldn't help but worry about me.

"Are you really ready?"

For me, Wan'er always can't be completely at ease, and she doesn't worry about me.

It is said that caring is chaotic, and Wan'er treats me, sometimes that's the case.

All this, whether it is for Wan'er or for myself, from the moment I took the initiative to ask to become Gao Chen and become her concubine, I have already made up my mind, and this heart of reform and legislation has long been as solid as a rock and cannot be transferred.

There is no turning back from the bow, and I must not take a step back except to go all the way forward.

I looked at Wan'er firmly, nodded, solemnly, and reaffirmed the oath I made to her when I hunted in the garden, and said:

"The ambition of the strong will is not moving, the two love depend on each other, life and death are inseparable!"

Wan'er looked at me very affectionately, with a little relief and emotion, and said with some excitement:

"Okay, since you have this ambition, I will walk with you all the way as a wife, and this heart and this love will never be lost!"

I reached out and hugged Wan'er tightly, my face full of happiness.

Wan'er reached out and stroked my back, feeling my more and more tenacious personality and growth speed, she couldn't help but whisper softly in my ear:

"Your mentor must be a master of the world, otherwise how could he teach you so well?"

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, thinking of the figure hidden under the bronze mask of the black robe, a wry smile appeared on my face, and I said:

"He's a great teacher, but he's not a good guy!"

Wan'er was stunned, gently pushed me away, looked at my calm eyes like water, and pondered whether this sentence had a deep meaning.

I couldn't help but smile faintly, since I had decided to tell Wan'er everything, there was no need to have other scruples.

"He is indeed a wise man of great learning, and he is also a mysterious and strange master, he has a very attractive thing about him, which is irresistible, but he is also very dangerous, and he can turn his hands into clouds and rain on the situation in the world. And our senior brother Bai Gui is his most proud disciple, and he is also the one with the most personality like him!"

Wan'er couldn't help but hold her breath, and after noticing the gloom and depth in it, she couldn't help but gasp, and when the name Bai Gui was mentioned, she couldn't help but murmur:

"Baekyu...... Could it be ......?"

Wan'er knew that I had never left the Northern Wei Dynasty since I entered the Guozi Prison, so the apprenticeship must have happened when I entered the Guozi Prison to the top of high school, and since I was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I couldn't help but notice the surname 'Bai'.

Just because, the Bai family was once one of the largest families in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in the end, they were also involved in the whirlpool of power because of the prince's rebellion.

"That's right, it's the Bai family. Senior brother is the son of the Bai family, although he is the eldest son, his biological mother died early, and he is not favored by the family, but he has outstanding qualifications, tenacious personality, talent, and the ambition to calm the world in his chest. If it weren't for the rebellion that was implicated in the old case back then, the life trajectories of our brothers and sisters would definitely be different!"

If there had not been that rebellion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still alive, and Senior Brother Bai Gui was finally able to enter the court to assist the Prince, then the Northern Wei Dynasty would definitely be a new atmosphere; if this is the case, I will only become a small official in the border city, silent for a lifetime; and Wan'er, must be just a carefree princess who grew up in the deep palace, and there may be unsatisfactory times, but it is certain that she will not live as hard and difficult as now, and I Yu Wan'er, may not meet, maybe, the two of them have no chance to meet at all......

Sometimes I think about it like this, and I feel that if this is the case, it would be a blessing for me and Wan'er, especially when the current ordeal is difficult to overcome, and when this ordeal will endanger Wan'er, such thoughts will irrepressibly occupy my mind and linger.

I think I'm starting to know how to be afraid, especially after seeing the end of Heqian......

When Wan'er heard this, she was silent for a long time, and finally only sighed and said:

I don't like to dwell on the past, people should cherish the present and leave no regrets. I don't want to be as good as I want, but I want to be worthy of my heart, so it's good!"

This is what I admire about Wan'er, she has a heroic and uninhibited attitude that ordinary women do not have, and even after countless hardships, she has never lost her optimism and positive attitude towards life.

I smiled and nodded yes, then continued:

"Wan'er is Wan'er, you're right! Yesterday's events died yesterday, and the future is unpredictable! It's just that even I never expected that between our senior brothers and sisters, there would be such an ending!"

As I spoke, my face unconsciously showed a look of sadness, and Wan'er, who was already vaguely aware of something, suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in her heart, and couldn't help but call me softly, saying:

"Morning ......"

The ups and downs of emotions made my breathing begin to be a little short, with the unwillingness and emotion of being ruthlessly tricked by fate, I continued with great sadness:

"Back then, it was me and Brother Wei who reported in advance and persuaded my brother to leave the Northern Wei Dynasty in time that he was able to escape. I didn't expect fate to make people, and today, many years later, his life will be broken in my hands after all!"

Wan'er didn't want to see me so sad, and couldn't help but pull my arm to comfort me, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to speak.

When I met Wan'er's eyes, I told Wan'er what I was hiding in my heart with great sadness, and said:

"Today's Prime Minister of Northern Qi and Qian is my fellow senior brother in the past - Bai Gui!"

In the past, they were brothers and sisters, but today they ended up killing each other, how can it not make people sigh and sigh?

If it is really turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, what a terrible master, just a Bai Gui, he is already a man of the hour who stirs the world......

Wan'er realized the deep meaning, and couldn't help but sigh, and said softly:

"So, the one you want to take me to see is your senior brother, Bai Gui, right?"

I smiled wryly and nodded, and said:

"Well, I met him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he is the first to be punished this time, and he needs to be beheaded to show the public to set an example!"

As soon as this statement came out, everything was clear, no matter what the merits were, in the face of such an outcome, the process was no longer so important.

That's the price you have to pay for a career in politics......

"Okay, let's go see him. ”

Wan'er took my hand and said this to me firmly, not gently.

I know that I don't need to say anything more about this matter, and Wan'er understands my feelings......

I smiled and nodded, my eyes filled with tears, and with pride, I said:

"Senior brother will be very happy to see you, he will envy me for marrying such a beautiful and virtuous wife!"

Even when she heard my praise like this, Wan'er also had a little shyness when her new daughter-in-law saw her mother's family, and her face was shy, and she asked softly, saying:

"Really?"

Hearing this, I smiled and shed a few tears, nodded my head like a rattle, and said:

"Really, really!"

Wan'er stretched out her hand to gently wipe my tears, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she looked at me affectionately, only to hear her say softly, and said:

"Fool!"

Hearing this, I smiled......
