Soon Zhou Yun understood that Xue Chongxun had no intention of interrogating her at all. He turned his head to Sanniang and said: "Yuwenxiao is not a foreign minister, he is also a good person, besides, this girl is really good-looking, how can I be embarrassed to refuse?" Are you looking at me like this? ”

Sanniang finally spoke: "Yuwen Xiao is not a good thing, and he can't do anything good, Xue Lang really might as well give the inner factory to Bai Qimei, so as not to harm too many innocent people...... Xue Lang can't look down on this little lady, what qualifications do I have? However, Xue Lang wants to execute her father and family, so he is not afraid that she will be unfavorable to you when she is close? I can't leave here. ”

Zhou Yun was stunned and said, "The official just now clearly said that he would let my family go if he asked clearly!" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Do you believe his words too?" Your father, Zhou Ji, took refuge in the rebels, and his treacherous tricks led to the death of Li Yi, the governor of Hebei Province, who was a loyal minister of mine and a relative of the prime minister of the court...... Do you still think Zhou Ji can survive? His sin is too great for his family to be spared from sin; Coupled with his deception and marriage with the head of the thief, the people of your family will not survive. ”

Zhou Yun heard him say hundreds of lives in a flat and straightforward tone, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously defended: "My father was forced, and I was also forced by the thief to ......."

Xue Chongxun stood up and approached unhurriedly, while saying: "If you still want to say this, or I let the official just now interrogate you, I dare to guarantee that as long as he orders him to take you away, he will definitely find dozens of men to 'interrogate' and torture you to death before feeding the dogs." ”

"You ......" Zhou Yun's shoulders trembled.

Xue Chongxun walked in front of her, without any radical and frivolous movements, and his tone was also very calm: "As long as you obey me, I can at least place you in the Daming Palace Teaching Division, of course, that place is better than being an official lady, but it is finally brocade clothes and jade food." ”

"Your Majesty, please spare the people of the Zhou Mansion." Zhou Yun suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a pleading tone.

Xue Chongxun was silent and sighed slightly.

Zhou Yun's tears flowed, she still wanted to beg, but she had already figured it out, everything was impossible. A person who wants to take away his country is extremely a henchman, what will happen if he is caught, the common people who are completely ignorant in this era know that they will be exterminated, and rebellion is the first major crime of the imperial dynasty.

She choked up and said, "Your Majesty gave me a death, I don't want to live alone in the world." ”

Xue Chongxun gently held her arm, and the armor was driven to "clang", and his tone suddenly changed from the cold narrative at first to become gentle, and he said with good words: "You don't need to hate me, since I am the emperor, how can I forgive others for rebellion, otherwise the people of the world will rebel if they are slightly dissatisfied, won't this Central Plains become a battlefield, and more people will die, do you understand?" ”

He tentatively stretched out his hand, and when he saw that she didn't overreact, he gently wiped her tears with his fingers, and there was skin to skin contact but not much lightness. He continued to flicker: "Zhou Ji is greedy for life and is afraid of death and defects to the chaotic party, and you are not responsible for the lives of the Zhou Mansion. How much do you think you are a sinner who is the wife of a thief, and I forgive you, why should you die? ”

Zhou Yun shook his head vigorously, unable to speak with tears streaming down his face. Xue Chongxun's hand slowly moved down and began to caress her face, and then Sanniang said coldly: "The hairpin on her head, I took it for her first." Xue Chongxun said angrily: "I'm wearing armor!" ”

…… Zhou Yun was placed in the inner courtyard of the Yamen, she couldn't get out of bed anymore, and it was estimated that she would not have the strength to commit suicide for a while. Xue Chongxun did not use violence, he would not be strong until he had to treat beautiful women, and he was all kinds of fools and coercion to make them "willing".

Xue Chongxun reorganized the army in Huazhou, and divided the prisoners of war and handed them over to the local regimental training envoys to replenish the number of people who were requisitioned. At this time, Zhang Wulang arrived in Youzhou and was presiding over the major event of building the Great Wall, and many officials from the Ministry of Industry had already gone.

A month ago, the cavalry of Yingzhou sent out to disturb various pastures on the territory of Khitan and Xi, causing them to lose a lot of livestock and tents, the purpose of which was to make Khitan Xi have worries and dare not take the opportunity to attack Youzhou in the south. Xue Chongxun learned about the situation, so he canceled the intention of adjusting the Shence army to go north to fight with the nomadic cavalry, the black powder weapons were too cumbersome and inconvenient to maneuver, if it was very troublesome to enter the grassland to fight, it was better to let Zhang Wulang clean them up.

Cui Qigao never caught it, and he didn't know if he was dead, because there were many corpses along the Yellow River after the war, and the weather was hot and rotted quickly. But the thief leader has become a fugitive again, and has lost his threat.

In mid-June, Xue Chongxun sent a message to the Yunzhou Assassin to temporarily lead Huazhou to maintain order, and wait for the imperial court to transfer to the new Assassin Shi to form an official government, and the Shence Army also began to return to Guanzhong at this time.

When the forbidden army returned triumphantly, there was another good news of Du Xian, a great victory in the northwest, and the alliance of the Mo clan wanted to send an envoy to Chang'an to thank him. The victory of the east and the west, the two battles made Xue Chongxun's pressure drop sharply.

……

The fortifications of the Hebei defensive line have already begun; The new imperial examination presided over by Su Jin will officially begin in the autumn of the fourth year, and he is now forming various academic administrations. The two major things that Xue Chongxun persistently wants to do are currently progressing smoothly.

By August, the tribes of various ethnic groups in the northeast, who could not bear the long-term attack of the Yingzhou cavalry, sent envoys to Chang'an to negotiate peace, and some cities in Tubo were unable to launch a second campaign and sent envoys to repair relations. The Turkic, Hui, and Bohai Khanates hoped for long-term peace with the Jin Dynasty, and wrote a letter to honor the Jin Dynasty's Son of Heaven as Tian Khan, and Princess Taiping as the True Emperor of the Heavenly Immortals. Many countries sent people to Chang'an to eat and drink, Xue Chongxun didn't care about them and almost didn't show up, but Princess Taiping was very happy about this situation, and held a state banquet in the Lin De Hall to entertain the envoys of various states.

At this time, the threats around the Jin Dynasty had been basically swept away, the border was peaceful, and the country was gradually stable, and he could no longer find anything important to do. The Arab Empire to the west was too far away to expand westward, and even if it won the war, it would definitely break away from the control of the central court, and the Central Plains had always believed in a unified regime; He also thought about destroying the island country of the East China Sea, but they themselves were already miserable enough haha, Xue Chongxun understood the situation that it was better to die than to eat enough, and it was not so easy to cross the sea to conquer blindly, and no one agreed to the unprofitable things from the imperial court to the common people, and only felt that the emperor's brain was in water: the East China Sea Kingdom worshipped the Jin Dynasty as the same as the kingdom of heaven, crying and shouting that he wanted to serve the Jin Dynasty as the suzerain, and wanted to pay tribute to Chang'an every year, and the envoys sent over saw the emperor more than Lao Tzu. Xue Chongxun wanted to send troops to fight against such a country, but he couldn't even find an excuse, let alone explain it to the people of the world. The process of "Wanghua" in the mountainous areas of the southwest and the prefectures in the northeast was very slow, and it was impossible to rush it, and the occupation of Yingzhou as a base was the beginning of this long-term process.

The world is peaceful, and Xue Chongxun has also stopped. He doesn't like to build palaces, doesn't like to waste financial resources on patrols, doesn't pay attention to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, doesn't love rare treasures, doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, doesn't have any beliefs, and is only ready to eat and wait for death; But Princess Taiping is bent on immortality and is a person who pursues it very much. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but be very envious when he saw that she was in a calm and happy mood, and observed that there was no trace of wrinkles on her face, which was abnormal, and sometimes he wondered if there was really a fairy, but he was really hard to believe, he only thought that there were heavy metals in the elixir, but Princess Taiping believed it very much, and no one could persuade or dare to persuade her.

One day he went to the Star Tower of Chengxiang Hall to say hello, Princess Taiping was practicing, and she couldn't even see her face, so she sat on a chair and waited. I saw a big tripod in the middle of the hall, smoky as if it was alchemy, all kinds of pictures hung on the surrounding board walls, looking out of the window only to see the blue sky and white clouds without people, Xue Chongxun felt like he was out of the mortal world. After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Princess Taiping speak in the curtain, maybe she had already completed a "fortune", Xue Chongxun told her that she often asked if her body was safe.

Princess Taiping said: "Of course my body is good, now that Neidan has just become a child, it has long been immune to all diseases, how can it be sick?" ”

Hearing her say that it was true, Xue Chongxun blurted out and said, "My lord will really become an immortal one day?" ”

Princess Taiping said slowly: "It is not necessary to become an immortal, but it is appropriate to live for three or four hundred years without the same appearance." ”

As long as it is not said that the mother and son of the court and government can't quarrel, Xue Chongxun also sighed according to her meaning: "In that case, it won't be me who will come here in a few decades to ask if the adults are okay." ”

"That's why I've asked you to take the elixir many times, and the heaven and earth aura in Guanzhong can be used by the three of them to cultivate together." Princess Taiping didn't joke at all, and said seriously, "Why don't you want to? ”

Xue Chongxun was speechless, he couldn't say that the elixir was poisonous, so it was not only useless but also wanted to make Taiping angry, and a quarrel was inevitable.

"Yuqing, send him one." Princess Taiping gave the order in an unquestionable tone, she was used to this way, because usually no one around would resist her.

After a while, Yuqing Daogu came over with a golden marigold, on which was placed a crystal clear ball, and presented it to Xue Chongxun, she said coldly: "Please Your Majesty use the pill." ”

As soon as Xue Chongxun saw the brightly colored and unknown things, he remembered that the more colorful the mushrooms, the more poisonous they were, and he didn't want to eat them, so he politely declined: "This kind of Qi Pills can only be refined by weather aura, and it is useless for me to take them, so I should keep them." ”

"Are you afraid that the pill is poisonous?" Princess Taiping got angry and said in a heavy voice, "You have refused several times, are you really afraid that I will poison you?!" ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "Erchen has no such intention. Princess Taiping said in a tough tone: "Then you have to give me food this time!" ”

Now, if he doesn't eat, he will probably have an unhappy relationship with Princess Taiping for a few days...... He was silent for a while, then he stretched out his finger and picked up the elixir, put it in front of him and looked at it, it was as beautiful as a jewel in the sun. It can't be toxic, right?
