Yelu Hugo led his army to Jinyang and learned that the Zhou army had retreated to Liaozhou. The Northern Han State did not allow the Liao army to enter Jinyang City, and there was chaos when the grain and grass materials were transferred, which caused some Liao troops to lack food and grass, so they plundered the troops on the Jinyang Plain, and the Northern Han people complained.

The Jinyang court sent officials to the Liao army camp to negotiate, demanding that the Liao army stop plundering the place and drive Liaozhou to advance and retreat the Zhou army stationed there.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Hugo was furious and said in public: "The warriors of Daliao, the bows and horses are skillful, brave and good at fighting, just like a sharp blade, have you ever seen a sharp knife to cut bricks?" ”

He rejected the request of the Northern Han State to attack Liaozhou, and proposed that the Northern Han army attack Liaozhou with the main force, and the Great Liao Army only stood aside to prevent the Zhou army from going out of the city to counterattack. But if the Northern Han Kingdom had the strength to attack a heavily garrisoned city, why not fight the Zhou army in the field before?

……

Ouchi, Tokyo. Guo Shaozheng said: "The ancestors of the Han family, martial arts and order, as long as our clan works hard, we will be able to restore the wind of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so why fear the Liao State?" ”

Fu Jinzhan was sitting opposite Guo Shao, and she said soothingly: "Your Majesty has a long-term vision, and you will be able to fulfill your wish." ”

When she said these words of encouragement, her face was gentle and kind, and this temperament was very subtle and like a spring breeze, like a woman full of love, pinning her hopes and rejoicing for those close to her. Guo Shao felt both high-spirited and without any sense of oppression, very comfortable and warm.

But after Fu Jinzhan finished speaking, he inadvertently still showed a slightly depressed expression from between his eyebrows, which seemed to be evading, alienating, and a little helpless.

Guo Shao's heart was in turmoil with her emotions, and she finally asked the words that she had endured for more than a month: "When King Wei entered the palace, did he say anything to Marigold?" ”

Marigold's expression was immediately a little flustered, and then he said with a straight face: "What can my father say in front of me?" ”

"But ......" Guo Shao always felt that something was wrong. The man's mind is not particularly careless, as long as he pays extra attention to a person, he will also have all kinds of intuition.

Marigold's gaze flowed on Guo Shao's face, like the light of the morning sun shining on his face, and like a light with a very short wavelength, which could pass through his surface, but Guo Shao was a little nervous. Fu Jinzhan said in a low voice: "Even if we don't say anything, we don't need others to say it, we know it in our hearts." ”

Guo Shao opened his mouth, stunned and unable to say a word. He felt that there was no need to dwell on the personal relationship between the two, but the affection between each other had reached a certain level, was there anything wrong? But in terms of the current reasoning, it just doesn't make sense.

Fu Jinzhan said faintly: "I don't mean to blame you, and I can't blame you, it was originally your will." It's just that in this above board, in front of our father and brother, how can we justify? In the future, we will pay more attention to proportion, and we must not sit firmly...... Otherwise, I really can't explain it. ”

In Guo Shao's eyes, Fu Jinzhan is stronger than her brother Fu Zhaoxu and even King Wei in terms of wisdom and means, but she is still a woman, and she has her place in the family, and she is restricted and constrained, and it is difficult to override her father and brother.

Guo Shao pondered seriously for a long time before he spoke: "I never think we did anything wrong, but what Marigold said is not wrong. ”

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan looked at him with interest. She's a woman who can be affected by all kinds of emotions, but she's not the kind of person who can't get rid of it at all.

Guo Shao groaned: "You are right...... I've thought about it carefully, and it may feel good at first, fresh, exciting, seductive, and full of enthusiasm. But after a long time, it could only hide in the corner and could not see the light. I may not be too affected yet, because I have other wives and concubines, but for women, it is an abyss, a dark alley without sunshine and a future, full of all kinds of dangers and worries......"

"Alas!" Fu Jinzhan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, anyway, I have no future, Brother Shao'er doesn't need to feel guilty." ”

Guo Shao's eyes widened, and he said seriously: "How about we try to go from the corner to the bright place together?" ”

Fu Jinzhan was stunned and looked at his face: "I know what you mean, I know what method you have in mind...... If this makes you more ambitious, why not give it a try? ”

"Marigold doesn't want to?" Guo Shao asked.

Fu Jinzhan said quietly: "I am really that important to you now? There are so many beautiful women in the court. ”

Guo Shao said: "Is marigold important to me, do you still not believe it after so many things?" ”

A hint of blush suddenly appeared on Fu Jinzhan's smooth cheeks, which was more beautiful than the sunset on the horizon at this time.

Guo Shao patiently persuaded again: "Recently, I have read Taoist books, and I am too forgetful, and the Taoism is natural. We don't have to be too attached to worldly rights and wrongs, we have to forgive ourselves and be open-minded. ”

"Hmm......" Fu Marigold thought thoughtfully.

Guo Shao's voice gradually deepened, perhaps he was a little tired after a busy day and in the evening, as if he muttered: "In the westernmost place, west west of Persia, there is a saying that the people over there are not the original goodness of human beings, but the evil and sinfulness of the world, but because of the mercy of the gods, they bear the sins of the world and forgive the sins of the people...... According to this statement, even God has not forgiven the sins of mortals, so why can't we forgive ourselves? ”

Fu Jinzhan smiled when she heard this: "I think you are really ...... Probably speaking in front of me works, and there is only Brother Shao in this world. ”

Guo Shao also laughed and said, "Are you in a better mood?" ”

"Mood ......," Fu Jinzhan smiled, "a very interesting word, of course better." ”

"It's good to be relieved, I appeared in Marigold's sight from the beginning, and my original intention was not to bring you sorrow." Guo Shaodao.

Fu Jinzhan put away her usual dignified atmosphere, but she sat with her head down, silently facing each other.

Guo Shao said at this time: "I, the emperor, have been in the palace for a few months, and I am in the palace all day long. I'm a martial artist, and I still can't completely abandon my old job. I have a plan...... During the personal expedition, Marigold moved to the Jinxiang Hall to handle the music and government affairs for me. ”

Fu Jinzhan was slightly surprised: "Is it appropriate for me to blatantly interfere in government politics with my identity?" ”

"What identity?" Guo Shaodao, "The first emperor and empress, the sister of the empress of this dynasty, and has an honorific title." What's more, Marigold was originally a regent, familiar with government affairs, and has the qualifications to serve the public, and his prestige in the forbidden army is also very high. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

Fu Jinzhan pondered earnestly.

Guo Shao persuaded again: "This is not to cover up and authorize Empress Duanci to handle state affairs, what can be proved is only trust, not favor." He added: "I still have a lot of things to do, and I need Marigold to help me." ”
