"Why is this lake called 'Kunming Lake'? Kunming...... Isn't it in Yunnan? ”

When she asked this sentence idly, the Queen Mother was reclining on the long "chaise longue", squinting her eyes slightly at the vast smoke waves outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and her originally clear gaze became a little confused.

Not Yaobi, not royal lead, long hair like a waterfall, lazy like a cat.

She was wearing a crimson velvet nightgown, with a large stand-up collar turned upside down, and a large piece of extremely delicate white "lace" lace embroidered on it - this nightgown, naturally Guan Zhuofanjin, was the most suitable to wear in spring and autumn.

The neckline is very low, extending down to the peaks, the quality is exposed, and the ravines are deep.

A snow-white slender foot stretched out from the bottom of the robe, the foot was straight, and the five soft toes were slightly upturned. The neatly trimmed toenails are dyed a beautiful pink with impatiens juice.

Shen Zheng's sunlight slanted into the room and sprinkled on the body of the Queen Mother, and the slightly swaying jade foot almost became transparent in the sunlight.

Uh, that's too much of a test for me...... Endurance.

Yes, it's already Shen Zheng.

Fierce "Punishment!" Penalize! Penalize! After that, both the giver and the receiver were hungry. The Queen Mother was sore, and she really didn't want to move, so the next lunch was actually passed on the red sandalwood high-backed bed.

The Queen Mother sat with her back on the bed, with a long one in front of her, her legs stretched a few times, and the table was full of dishes and snacks brought from the palace.

This kind of long several, it seems...... Specially made for bedside eating?

It's weird, too.

Where is King Xuanjun?

Well, naturally, sit next to the Queen Mother - otherwise, how to "accompany the meal"?

As for whether there is a drama such as "mutual cannibalism", the lion has never seen it really, and it is not appropriate to talk about it.

After passing the meal, the tiredness of the Queen Mother came up, so the king of Xuanjun accompanied the meal and "went to bed".

Today's "lunch break", in the intoxication of the spring breeze, the royal sister fell into a dream, and after waking up, it was already the beginning of Shen.

I slept for an hour.

After waking up, the Queen Mother went into the "bathroom" to bathe.

On weekdays, the royal sister will not bathe at this point, but on the big bed, you come and go, although the weather is cool, but it is inevitable that the body is full of relish, and the sweat is stained. Also, when I returned to the palace, I didn't have to turn on the "water dragon", and there was cold and hot water to "enjoy", so hurry up.

This "hurry" is half an hour.

It takes so long to take a shower? I don't know, how did King Xuanjun, who followed in, "take a bath" for the Queen Mother?

Too long is a drop in price.

Right now, Guan Zhuofan's gaze seemed to be trampled on by the snow-white slender foot, and he couldn't move away, but he could only swallow his saliva dryly, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Because, for a while, I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Had......

Calm, calm.

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "this Kunming Lake is really related to Kunming in Yunnan." ”

"Oh?" Cixi's interest came, "But I didn't expect it! How did this one in the south of the sky and the other in the north of the earth come together? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the word 'Kunming' was famous for its prefecture and county, which was a matter of the Yuan Dynasty; however, as early as the early Han Dynasty, Yunnan had 'Kunming' -- it was a small country in the region."

"Small country? So, at that time, Yunnan was not under the control of our China? ”

"Yes, at that time, Yunnan was still a barbaric, authentic miasma."

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued: "This Kunming country, I don't know how big the world is, I actually dare to embarrass the Celestial Empire - the Han envoys sent to the poisonous body have been intercepted by the Kunming Kingdom. Oh, the body poison, it is today's India. ”

"Yo, at that time, Yunnan was not our territory, this went from the Central Plains to India, but ...... Far from it! ”

"The Queen Mother Mingjian! The road is not only far, but also difficult! Poor mountains and bad waters, everywhere, compared to today, it is ten times more difficult to walk! The Han envoys came one after another, one after another, and they didn't know how many people died? ”

Guan Zhuofan's words made Cixi faintly feel in her heart, and she had a strange feeling, where was the strange, for a while, she couldn't tell clearly.

After a moment of silence, Cixi said, "What is the purpose of spending so much energy? That ......"

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's poison."

"Well, this body poison, what's the ...... Is it easy to produce? ”

"When I returned to the Queen Mother, I sent poison to the body, just to borrow the way. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to attack the Xiongnu, and he thought of a country called Great Xia in the Western Regions. The old king of Daxia was killed by the Xiongnu, and the two families of Daxia and Xiongnu were feuding. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that if he formed an alliance with Great Xia and attacked the east and west at the same time, wouldn't it be wonderful to be a flanking attack on the Xiongnu? ”

Cixi nodded and said, "It's a good plan." ”

"Yes. However, at that time, the road to the Western Regions was covered by the Xiongnu, and it was difficult for the Han envoys to reach it. Some people say that body poison can lead to Great Xia, so Emperor Wu sent an envoy to the southwest, hoping to find a way to the body poison, from body poison, and Great Xia. ”

Cixi's voice was full of exclamation: "Such a big circle! ”

"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan's voice was very solemn, "Go to the Western Regions, the Gobi quicksand, the heat and cold are scorching, and the water and grass do not grow; Go to the southwest, the mountains and rivers are poor, the smoke miasma is infested, and the poisonous insects are everywhere, in fact, they are all dead! Moreover, whether it is the Western Regions or the Southwest, all the Yi have not been transformed, and they are not in the sky, and a hundred Han envoys are sent out, but not one will come back! ”

Cixi was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "It's not easy! ”

After a slight pause, he added: "This ...... It's harder than fighting! ”

The royal sister was able to say this, which Guan Zhuofan didn't expect, and his voice brought out a faint excitement: "'It's harder than fighting' - the Queen Mother is really a holy candle!" It's not the war that kills people -- the blue wisps of the road, the mountains and forests, today's splendid rivers and mountains, the predecessors not only sweated and shed blood for them, but simply filled them with their lives! ”

Cixi stared at Guan Zhuofan for a moment, nodded, and said: "I don't really know what it means, but I know what you mean - our China, such a big place, is saved from generation to generation, little by little, the foundation of our ancestors, we have to look at it." ”

"Yes-Queen Mother Shengming!"

"I heard you say it at first...... The matter of poison all over the body," Cixi sighed softly again, "In my heart, I feel a little strange, but I can't figure out for a while, what is 'abnormal'?" Now I figured it out -- I'll tell you something. ”

"Please teach the Queen Mother."

Cixi smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "I remember, when the long hair made a fuss, our contact with several vassals in the south was broken for a while. At that time, the imperial court wanted to find a few people to go to Vietnam, Siam, and Burma to contact and send a reassurance to the big guys, but—"

She shook her head slightly, and said, "I searched and searched, but I couldn't find anyone—I couldn't find anyone!" No one wants to go! It's useless to be promoted, it's useless to give silver, nothing is as important as your life! ”

"For this matter, the first emperor also lost his temper - but it was useless!"

"Of course, there are all those who are not afraid of death." Cixi frowned slightly, "But, it's not enough to be afraid of death!" You have to be able to read and break words, you have to be able to speak, and most importantly, you have to be able to speak over there! ”

"I thought at the time: There is a huge China, and there is no way to find such a talent? -- I just can't find it! ”

"I think," Cixi's voice changed slightly, "When you make trouble, when you go to the Southern Domain, no matter how dangerous or difficult it is, you can't pass what you said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will pass through the Western Regions and the Southwest!" At that time, groups of messengers followed one another, but now they are ......"

After a pause, he said abruptly: "What is this for?" ”
