was guessing, when he heard a steward outside shouting: "Second master, someone from the palace has come to pass on the holy word, let you enter the palace immediately." ”

Xiao Jiangbei "Teng" stood up, and everyone in the hall was also nervous, Xu Taijun hurriedly said: "You two hurry back, let Abei pack up and go into the palace, I don't know what happened, Amitabha, I hope there is no war somewhere." ”

Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei left in a hurry, returned to the room, and helped Xiao Jiangbei change into official uniforms, although he is now a marquis, he is also a second-class general.

After Xiao Jiangbei left, Gu Qiluo Fang said worriedly: "I hope there is no war somewhere else, and I want him to go to war." ”

"How can there be so much war? Grandma don't worry. Xinghua comforted softly, and suddenly saw a group of people walking in at the gate of the courtyard, and she smiled and said, "My aunt and cousin are here." ”

Gu Qiluo hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Why did you come here?" The old lady is tired and wants to rest? ”

Aunt Xiang smiled and said, "The old lady didn't want to say this, but this morning Qiuyue told me that the old lady hadn't slept well since she received the letter from her cousin." Now that the cousin has arrived, she is exhausted, and I see that she is a little in good spirits at this time, so I said that I will take the cousin to familiarize myself with the house, and then get out, otherwise according to the old lady's thoughts, I will talk to the cousin until the evening, how old is she? How can you resist boiling your spirit like this? ”

Gu Qiluo nodded and said, "What my aunt said is right. After speaking, he took Peng Cherry's hand and said with a smile: "Why is my cousin called this?" It's really strange, but the implication is good. The cherry is the first branch of spring fruit, and the other fruits have not yet appeared, but you are ripe first. ”

Peng Cherry smiled: "The first ripe ones are eaten." What's so good? It's just that the fortune teller said that I lacked wood in the five elements that day, and it happened to be the season when the cherries were ripe, so my father gave me such a name, and when I grew up, many people said it was weird, and I felt okay myself. ”

Aunt Xiang quipped: "This is not right, the first ripe is eaten, is it not eaten that the later ripe is not eaten?" It's all eaten. It's better to take the lead, as the saying goes, seize the opportunity. After speaking, he asked Gu Qiluo again: "Didn't anyone from the palace say why did you ask the second master to enter the palace?" ”

Gu Qiluo shook his head and said, "When we come back." The people in the palace have already left, and I don't know what it is, but in fact, everything is fine, as long as it is not for him to go on the expedition. I'm thankful. When he was rumored to have died in battle, I don't know how I got through that time. ”

"yes? I still feel my scalp tingle when I think about it. Speaking of that past, Aunt Xiang also had palpitations.

The three of them entered the house and sat down to watch tea, and Gu Qiluo asked, "What's wrong with the master?" I guess there must be something, otherwise I wouldn't have even gone to the old lady's. ”

Aunt Xiang said: "No, you are really a delicate heart, so you can guess it." I don't know who or what I've met. When I went, I could see that he didn't belong to his mind, and he didn't know where he touched his calf. actually poked a bloody hole, he was afraid that the old lady would worry, so he didn't go over. ”

Gu Qiluo nodded and smiled: "I see, I'll just say, the master is not such a person." After speaking, she saw that Aunt Xiang's face was full of worry, so she comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, if it is a matter of great importance, the lord will definitely discuss it with the aunt, now since I don't say it, it can be seen that it is just the lord's own heart, maybe after this while, he will tell you." ”

Aunt Xiang nodded and said yes with a smile, but there was always an ominous premonition in her heart, lingering.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Jiangbei came back, Gu Qiluo asked, it turned out to be a matter of Liaodong, Tang Wannian, the governor of Liaodong, only said that the last time the Jurchens made trouble, other tribes were also restless, and there were frictions and conflicts with the Han people who migrated to the past, and the shape was very worrying, and asked the emperor to send some troops to garrison Liaodong.

"The emperor won't send you, right?" Gu Qiluo frowned, although Xiao Jiangbei has great military achievements, he is still very young, so the emperor should consult with the ministers of various ministries and specially call him, but I am afraid that he has other plans.

"It's hard to say." Sure enough, I saw Xiao Jiangbei shaking his head and said solemnly: "Since the emperor ascended the throne ten years ago, Liaodong is a major development direction he set, and now after ten years, he has finally achieved some results, and it can be prosperous. Now more and more ships from Fanbang on the other side of the ocean are coming to my Daxia, and the crown prince wrote to the emperor, only saying that he should not continue to close the country, which was deeply praised by the emperor. Therefore, in this way, the role and status of Liaodong are particularly important. ”

"Really? The emperor wants to restart the city? Gu Qiluo's eyes lit up: This is really sleepy, someone will send a pillow, once the Great Xia Dynasty is interested in the ocean, she can do trade, that is the real business of making money every day.

"Qiluo, if the emperor really sends me to guard Liaodong, you will stay in the capital and don't go with me."

Xiao Jiangbei climbed Gu Qiluo's shoulder and asked her to sit down, and said seriously: "The Jurchens and the tribes of various ethnic groups don't have much combat power, so even if I go to the town to guard, the possibility of a big war is not high. But I heard Cheng Tong say, it seems that there is some mystery between the white mountains and black waters, in case there is a conflict, I am worried that someone will be unfavorable to you, so you stay in the capital, wait for me to come back, although since we have been together, there are fewer gatherings and more separation, but the emperor also has a number in his heart, and it is estimated that I will live in Liaodong for two or three years, and after every qiē is stable there, I can return to Beijing, and at that time, unless there is smoke in the north again, otherwise I should not go around to conquer again. The Northern Hungarians were greatly damaged this time, and the border retreated 500 miles, and they were absolutely unable to invade the south for more than ten years. ”

As soon as Gu Qiluo heard Xiao Jiangbei's words, he understood that he was going to Liaodong. Because he was thinking about it in his heart, he shook his head and said, "No, I must go to Liaodong with you." After speaking, seeing that Xiao Jiangbei was anxious to speak, she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, listen to me and you first." I also read the introduction of that place in Liaodong when I was reading a book in the past, and that piece of white mountains and black water is extremely rich, but because it is sparsely populated, it is not known. Whether it is the Jurchens or the tribes of various ethnic groups, they guard so many treasure mountains, but they don't know how to develop and use them, because they are too backward. Jiangbei, let me ask you, whether it is the emperor or the prince, including many adults, everyone only knows that the Jurchens and the tribes of various ethnic groups are fierce and restless, have they ever thought about why those people are like this? ”

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, those Fanbang barbarians are all born anti-bones, what else is there to say?" Xiao Jiangbei is obviously very disgusted with these Liaodong natives, and also, without them making trouble, Xiao Erye would not have separated from his beloved wife as a newlywed Yan'er.

Gu Qiluo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just listen to your words, this is the consensus of our Great Xia Dynasty." But I don't think so. Liaodong is vast, but the population is very sparse, and the tribes of all ethnic groups add up to 200,000 people, which makes them naturally subject to a kind of constraint, although they are also strong, but not as strong and ferocious and greedy as the Northern Hungarians, so they can only vassalize Daxia and become my Daxia people. But they are too backward, I think the emperor and the adults did not really regard these states as people, every year the imperial court has to ask for a large number of deer antlers, ginseng, mink skins and other valuable things from Liaodong, but rarely see anyone think about them, those officials stationed in Liaodong have only one purpose, that is, to ensure the safety of the immigrants in Daxia, suppress the Jurchens and various tribes, so that they dare not rebel. Am I right? ”

Xiao Jiangbei nodded contemplatively, looked at Gu Qiluo and said softly, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"That's the question I just asked, why do the Jurchens and the tribes of all ethnic groups, as my people of Great Xia, refuse to settle down every time they commit crimes? As I said just now, they have belonged to China since a thousand years ago, so it is impossible to be as fierce as the Tartars or even provoke wars, but this is when they are not forced, once they only know their value but refuse to give them the corresponding reward, it will not be far from the official forcing the people to rebel. In the final analysis, they regard themselves as Daxia people in their hearts, but the practices of local officials and the imperial court let them know that they are different from the real Daxia people, as long as the immigrants in the Guannai work diligently, they will be able to eat and clothe themselves, and in the future Liaodong will develop, their days will become more and more popular. But what about the Jurchens and the tribes? Has anyone thought about them? They are as poor and backward as ever, what does the development of Liaodong have to do with them? Especially after comparing the lives of immigrants in Kannai, can they have any thoughts in their hearts? Why are they all the people of Great Xia, but the treatment is worlds apart? Xiao Jiangbei, if it were you, would you have no resentment in your heart? Can you honestly go against the grain? ”

Xiao Jiangbei's eyes lit up, and he took Gu Qiluo's hand and said with a smile: "No wonder even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praises Qiluo as a strange woman, your perspective on the problem is really different from people, but it is the key point." With that said, what can you do to change that? ”

Gu Qiluo smiled: "What's the use of me having a way?" The key is to see what the emperor and the court do, I have just pointed out the fundamental problem, and the rest will be solved by solving this problem. ”

"Tell me about it. The emperor asked us to make suggestions enthusiastically, but because I was angry with those Fanbangs before, there was only one word 'kill' in my mind," Xiao Jiangbei scratched his head a little embarrassed when he said this, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that I am both civil and military, and I only know today that compared with Qiluo, I am really a reckless martial artist." Good Qiluo, you can make it clear at once, I can write a suggestion when I go back, maybe this suggestion can make a big difference, and then I don't have to go to Liaodong, isn't it? (To be continued......)
