Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The ancients had a good relationship and even slept together, but Guo Shao didn't have this hobby. Except for the relatives and brothers he was particularly familiar with in his previous life, he was not used to sleeping with men, especially someone like Cao Yuanzhong who had just met.

Cao Yuanzhong was sent away late at night. Guo Shao was about to go to bed. Although it was the turn of summer and autumn, the climate in Northwest China was dry and cold, especially after nightfall, so there was no need to take a bath every day.

This room is low and old, under the dim candlelight, the gray walls and furniture make people feel like they haven't been cleaned. Guo Shao's status is respected now, but he was originally from the lower class, and he has been marching and fighting all year round, eating and sleeping in the open, so it is not bad to have a house to live in, and he is quite used to it.

The tranquil environment and heavily guarded palace made Guo Shao feel relaxed.

What affects Guo Shao's state of mind is not the living environment, but the troubles. He can't help but weigh the gains and losses and consider the consequences of many things, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will not be able to deal with it, which will invisibly increase his psychological pressure.

At this time, Wang Zhong came in with a pot of steaming hot water, put it in front of Guo Shao, then squatted down and took off Guo Shao's boots, saying, "Your Majesty, scalding your feet can relieve fatigue."

Guo Shao asked Wang Zhong to wash his feet. He is now used to the people around him serving him, because these people think that it is more honorable to be close to serve the emperor...Since this is the case, Guo Shao can gradually enjoy it with peace of mind.

Wang Zhong whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li Xian (Li Yueji) is already your concubine, why don't I send her to serve you?"

Guo Shao said nothing.

Wang Zhong paused, seemed to think that Li Yueji might not be willing, and then said: "Although the Dangxiang girl is a bit wild, she doesn't know what is good or bad, but she already has a title, and most likely she will accept her fate..."

Guo Shao shook his head at this moment, "Why should I force it?"

He holds great power in his hands, and he has many ways to force her to submit, without making any fuss at all.

Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "That's true, it is also..."

Because the last time I was in Binzhou, the local Jieshuai sent a woman to serve as a servant, but Guo Shao refused. Wang Zhong didn't mention it rashly at this time, and after washing his feet, he went out with a basin in his hand, and gently closed the door.

Guo Shao lay on the bed, thinking about the reasons for threatening Li Yueji before.

Suddenly he realized that it was inappropriate to do so... If Li Yueji agrees and surrenders in order to save Brother Ling, wouldn't it prove that she has a deep affection for Brother Ling? Li Yueji is Guo Shao's concubine, isn't it a pleasure to find her? On the contrary, if Li Yueji refuses to agree (less likely), it means that she completely despises herself!

Guo Shao suddenly felt that being a big villain is not so enjoyable.

For a while, he planned not to ask about Li Yueji's attitude, and he didn't want to know the result, so as not to make trouble for himself.

...The next day, Guo Shao went to the main room to meet with the ministers and important generals of the Imperial Army as usual.

Guo Shaoxi has been in Lingzhou for a long time, but he has not discussed or made alliances with the chiefs. The final pomp and etiquette is just a result, and the process is a private effort.

Wei Renpu, Lu Duoxun and others often hosted banquets for the leaders and envoys of various ministries, and they often made friends with them, which was to discuss alliances and trade.

Lu Duosun reported: "The ministers discussed with the ministries, and most of them agreed with the two things that the court should do: first, the ministries sent people to set up a residence in Lingzhou, and the court also set up a residence of the Ministry of Rites, directly under the Ministry of Rites. In the future, all ethnic groups can go directly to Tianting through the residence of the Ministry of Rites in Lingzhou to avoid misunderstandings.

Second, set up a tea-horse exchange market in Lingzhou to discuss large transactions with each other. but……"

Lu Duosun glanced at Wei Renpu, and continued: "There are two things that hinder the progress of the important matter. First, the Hexi Dangxiang Yeci clan did not send anyone to come. According to investigations, this tribe is the same group that looted the tribute horses of the Guiyi Army and killed my entourage and guards. This is too much. I guess they are afraid of the court's punishment, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The second matter, the marriage between the Dangxiang Li family (Ding Nanjun) and the royal family was going smoothly, but due to the accident that happened two days ago, it may be prone to changes. "

After hearing this, everyone discussed in succession.

The relationship between the ministries in the northwest is very complicated. The party members alone are in chaos.

Shi Yanchao heard the different opinions, his brows were almost frowned, and he looked very impatient. He yelled straight away: "The Yeci clan robbed the tribute and even killed people. The crime is unforgivable. What can we say! We are justified, and the Yeci clan is destroyed. How dare other tribes act rashly?

There was also the man from the Wuzang family who encouraged the imperial concubine to run away, and chopped him off along with the Wuzang family! "

Wei Renpu said: "The official tour to the west is to enhance the harmony of all ethnic groups and reduce future troubles, and they want to open up trade routes to obtain war horses; the imperial court's strategy is not in the northwest, and it is unlikely that the western tribes will invade the invaders. If hatred is generated, what is the benefit of the official tour to the west?

However, the court did not need to be too tolerant when it came to the Kingdom of Great Zhou. Brother Ling deserves his crime, so he can be executed; we are justified, and Mrs. Li will not abolish the marriage for the sake of brother Ling, and it is difficult to deal with the aftermath. "

Lu Duoxun couldn't help but said: "I don't know if Vice Envoy Wei knows about one thing. Although brother Ying is the bodyguard of the Wuzang family, he is the son of the Wuzang family. No matter whether it is reasonable or not, if he kills brother Ying and sends a white-haired man from the Wuzang family to send a black-haired man, the grudge will be settled. Will he be able to kiss the court of the Great Zhou in the future?"

Shi Yanchao said: "It turned out to be the son of the old man! He has no way to teach the son, so he cut it off together!"

Lu Duosun frowned and said: "There are not many people in the Zang family. If the leader is cut off, there will be a new leader. Besides, the Wu Zang family was killed on trumped-up charges as the envoy to send off the relatives. Is the court sincere in wooing the party?"

There are many things involved in this matter, and the controversy is huge, and there is a quarrel below.

Guo Shao didn't say a word. He can decide everything, but because of this, the responsibility is even greater, and he has to face the consequences.

It was Guo Shao's first job as an emperor, and he didn't understand the real tricks of the emperor; but he understood that a superior person can benefit from both kindness and power, and he can't do without one thing.

In comparison, he felt that killing Brother Ling would have the least side effect... In addition, Guo Shao was also very upset with Brother Ling in his heart. This kind of thought is very subtle, wanting to kill Brother Ling is not because Brother Ling is guilty or because he is sorry for Guo Shao.

On the contrary, Li Yueji's position in Guo Shao's heart is limited, and maybe Brother Ling feels that Guo Shao is sorry for him the most; because Guo Shao robbed his childhood sweetheart, a woman who is so affectionate and can be desperate... In Guo Shao's value system, the most important thing to kill is not the person who has hurt him, owed himself, or sorry for himself.

In other words, in Guo Shao's view, the more he hurts others, the more he will punish them to death; when others hurt himself, he can be tolerant... It's a weird idea, but he thinks it's quite reasonable!

...

At this time, the Wuzang family was in a hurry, and he didn't close his eyes for two consecutive nights!

Perhaps compared with the big things that matter to the overall situation, people think it is okay to lose a son, and it is clear at a glance which is more important. But the point is, there is only one son in Wuzang!

At the beginning, the two parties had already discussed that marriage and parenthood were a good thing for stability, and he really did not expect such a big danger.

If brother Ling died, he would be dead. Of course, the Wuzang Clan has many clansmen, cousins, and brothers of the same clan can take over his position, but how can it be more practical to pass on the position of leader to his son who was raised by himself? !

There are more and more wrinkles on the face, and the hair seems to be a little whiter, making him look older. Time is ruthless, people will be buried in the ground, but there is not even a descendant who dies, and there is no desolation hidden in his belly.

The subordinate persuaded: "Perhaps Brother Ling will be released in two days."

"I begged to see him a few times, but the Emperor Zhou didn't even meet..." Wuzang said weakly.

He stood at the door, looked up at the direction of the palace, and murmured: "It's all my fault, old man, I never let Brother Ying understand the danger of power. Zhou people are outsiders, how can they be like the king, who can talk about friendship and be open-minded."

What can I do? Wuzang couldn't think of any way, wanted to intercede, and had already tried several times, but he was not allowed to meet; it was useless to be tough, not to mention whether King Xiping would agree to his use of troops, even if he used soldiers to avenge his death, would he be able to come back to life?

...

Brother Ling suddenly became a very concerned person in Lingzhou. People gathered here from all over the place usually wanted to find something to talk about. A few people in strange clothes in the wine shop drank and started betting: within ten days, the bet was that Brother Ling would not die.

One of the men with a thick waist and a big brain flicked his thick braids back: "Then the princess of the Li family wants to run away by herself, why does the emperor kill brother Ling?"

Another man laughed in Tubo dialect: "Don't place a wrong bet. On the surface, it was said that he was Concubine Li Xian's loyal servant, and he ran away with her; but I heard that was not the case. Brother Ling was said to be Concubine Li Xian's lover, and he was separated for the sake of marriage."

Someone interjected| said: "I think the rumors are credible, so why did Concubine Li Xian run away for no reason? Only because of that kind of thing will she be reckless. Hey, it's hard to say about men and women. There is also a woman in our tribe who loves her enemies..."

The thick-waisted man said: "I'm still holding Brother Ling alive, isn't it just that the woman ran off with someone once, and it's over if she is caught, why bother to kill?"

"Brothers don't know, Haner's customs are different from ours, their women belong to whoever they are."

The thick-waisted man frowned and said, "Even if you snatch it, is it still someone else's?"

"It seems so." The man just now said solemnly.

The man hesitated a bit after hearing this, he slapped the table and said: "I'd better suppress brother Ling to not die, you all suppress him to death, I win and earn much more."

"Haha..." The people at the table burst into laughter after hearing this.

Someone shouted: "Let's wait and see!"

The restaurant was very lively, and no one paid any attention to what was being said here, and many people couldn't understand it either. The humble teahouses and restaurants in Lingzhou have a particularly good business these days, and there are people who speak|speak all kinds of dialects they don't understand.

...

...

(Sorry everyone, I have encountered a little trouble these two days, and the update has been interrupted for two days.)\u003c
