Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Wang Pu left the imperial city from the corridor east of Xuande Gate and got into a carriage.

He is completely a civil servant, but he doesn't look very trim. He only has a more gorgeous official uniform in silk and purple robes, no valuable accessories, and the goatee on his mouth is also disheveled. The carriage was even more rudimentary, with unpainted panels, and a bamboo curtain hanging on the window, and it was not very ostentatious.

Walked to the entrance of the ceremony hall and stopped for a while. Seeing Li Xin coming out of the ceremony hall, Li Xin's eyes were very sharp, and he recognized Wang Pu's carriage at a glance, and immediately led the horse and walked over quickly.

Wang Pu is good at pulling open the bamboo curtain, looking at Li Xin who is approaching. Li Xin clasped his fists beside the car and gave a long bow: "The kindness of Wang Shijun's rebirth, I will never forget it as an official."

However, Wang Pu said with an unkind look on his face, "The big cannibal is not generous, and every tribute item is useful. You must put your heart into this matter, and this is what His Majesty personally instructed."

Li Xin nodded hurriedly, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "The Lu Yongzhen who can translate Dashi's dialect, who can learn Fanyu, must have dealt with Dashiren for a long time. He is also a Han, so it is easy to win over. The next official wants to start with Lu Yongzhen."

Wang Pu nodded, without any greetings, he patted the wooden board in front, and let the groom drive away. Li Xin stood on the side of the street for a long time, bent over and kept praying.

Wang Pu looked back, then looked at the tall Xuandemen gate of the imperial city, put down the bamboo curtain, sat in the car and closed his eyes.

He was very disappointed. Although on the surface he was very interested in obtaining shipbuilding skills and other things, compared to the national expedition to the Liao Kingdom and other major events related to the rise and fall of the country, Wang Pu was not very happy in his heart.

Why Wei Renpu? Although Wang Pu felt that Wei Renpu was also talented, but in terms of great wisdom, he was worse than himself!

Could it be that the strategy of the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year was wrong, and the emperor deliberately neglected himself? Wang Pu pondered for a while, the strategy at the beginning of the year was obviously insisted by His Majesty, and Wang Pu's attitude was just that he had no objection.

Or is he not respectful enough to Guo Shao? Wang Pu knew that he treated everyone like that, and in front of the emperor, he was not as good at flattering people as others anyway. Guo Shao doesn't seem to be a person who cares about small matters...but it's not certain, the person sitting on the throne attaches great importance to prestige, and he is afraid that someone will provoke him and affect his power. Wang Pu also remembered that even people like Shi Yanchao were very obedient to the emperor's words, and he always felt that Shi Yanchao was not entirely a reckless man.

Wang Pu sighed, but he felt relieved when he remembered that the Northern Expedition went smoothly.

...In Jinxiang Hall, Fu Jinzhan read the letter written by Guo Shao carefully several times before putting it away. Not a single word was addressed to her, because these letters were first sent to the Privy Council, but they were also words that Guo Shaona was familiar with. It's really not very good-looking, but there is one advantage that is easy to recognize, and every stroke is rigorous.

At this time, Fu Jinzhan left the East Hall and sent an order to go to the emperor's study in the West Hall to check the files.

She walked eastward along the long corridor on the platform behind the Jinxiang Hall. Because the corridor is not spacious, the oncoming palace people knelt down beside the road, very respectful.

Fu Jinzhan dragged her long skirt, folded her hands in front of the ribbon, and walked slowly with a dignified manner. Everyone in the palace was in awe of her. She was the empress in the previous dynasty, and her roots in the palace are relatively deep, and her status is also respected; she is not a powerful woman to be feared, but a woman who can step up to the front palace and get involved in the government affairs, most people know that she can't afford it!

Walking into the West Hall, Fu Jinzhan was immediately attracted by the large and small topographical maps of Youyun hanging on the wall. Even though Guo Shao had been away from Beijing for a long time, he could still feel that he was extremely concerned about those things when he came in.

Fu Jinzhan ordered a few words casually, and Cao Tai hurried to find the file in person.

She stood beside the imperial case and waited, and found that the left edge had wear marks, but the right side did not... because when the right hand used the writing brush, the arm could not be placed on the case in a proper posture.

Fu Jinzhan held onto Yu An calmly, gently stroking the ground with his fingertips. Thinking of the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition, she couldn't help but think of Guo Shao's previous promise. This big event is done, what will happen...

Suddenly, Fu Jinzhan lost control of his mood. An indescribable possessive desire welled up in my heart!

Yes, when she is peaceful and sensible, she will first consider reasons such as grievances and the overall situation, and she also considers herself a woman who has seen the world and knows the general situation. But once the emotion is trapped, it will be influenced by something in the heart.

She thought that man belonged to her! Whenever I smile and ask the official family who is lucky tonight, do I feel better? Her person is sleeping with another woman, and she is inseparable from others...

Fu Jinzhan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. She told herself repeatedly: It has long been common for wealthy nobles to have wives and concubines in groups, not to mention that the founding emperor's branching out is a major event that concerns the country and the world.

I am used to the turbulent alternation of power and the brutal scenes of chaos and soldiers. I shouldn't have dreamed about those things that only an ignorant girl would believe.

Perhaps, the signs of the Northern Expedition's success and Guo Shao's sincere commitment gave hope. People are never satisfied.

...

Xuanren three years, Liao Yingli twelve years, March. Go to Beijing.

Yelujing and the nobles of the Khitan tribes really realized the seriousness of the matter. The spring in Shangjing came late, and it seemed that it was still bleak and cold in March!

First, the Zhou army went north | expelling Yeluxiu's cavalry from the country. At that time, although some ministers were worried about the Zhou army's counterattack, they still fled north after the attack was successful.

Then Zhou Jun crossed the Juma River, Yeluxiu gave up Zhuozhou and retreated to Youzhou, and there were still signs of catching up.

But when Zhou Jun transferred as many as 200,000 to 300,000 infantry and cavalry troops to Youzhou, the situation began to escalate and became serious.

Now that the Liao army has launched a national war with all its elites, it still cannot solve the threat of Youzhou; and the Zhou army continues to build the city and station troops, showing no sign of giving up... It has reached a situation where it cannot end and step down!

After Yelujing summoned Xiao Siwen and other ministers, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ben Khan thinks that Xiao Siwen should be more suitable than Brother Yeluxiu to guard Youzhou, so I will resume Xiao Siwen's post as King of the South Court today."

Xiao Siwen stood up, didn't say anything, just put his hands on his chest and bowed upwards. Khitan people have "dumb etiquette", Xiao Siwen is not considered impolite.

However, Yelvjing seemed to feel that Xiao Siwen was reluctant, and it was indeed a bit unkind to resume Xiao Siwen's official position at this time. Yelvjing couldn't help adding another sentence, "Duke Xiao is indeed more experienced in dealing with southerners."

Xiao Siwen immediately said seriously: "It's about the rise and fall of Daliao, and I dare not cherish personal gains and losses."

Yelujing's rare good tone, maybe he also felt that he didn't feel right about Xiao Siwen. Yelujing said: "Ben Khan is very pleased that Duke Xiao can be so loyal."

Xiao Siwen immediately bowed and said: "I, please take your family to Youzhou, and swear to live and die with Youzhou!"

Yelujing stared at him immediately, and even the ministers and nobles present looked sideways. Xiao Siwen spoke calmly, but he was indeed expressing his determination... It was more dangerous for him to take his family to Youzhou than to put them as hostages in Shangjing, because as Khitan nobles, Xiao Shi and Xiao Siwen could not surrender to Zhou State.

Xiao Siwen expressed his position, and then bowed to bid farewell to the sweat.

Out of Miyagi, just as General Yelu Xiezhen was chasing him. Yelu Xiezhen rode his horse parallel to Xiao Siwen's side, and whispered: "The Khan is also in a hurry. If he really loses Youzhou, he will not be able to explain to Daliao. I am afraid that the Khan wants to use Xiao Gong as a scapegoat. When the time comes, he will accuse Xiao Gong of stationing in Youzhou and lose his territory!"

Xiao Siwen said: "Perhaps I really have this intention. I can't take care of it now, Youzhou must not be lost. Daliao is originally thousands of miles away, but if you lose Youzhou, the fortune of the country will be reversed!"

Yelu Xiezhen let out a long sigh.

Xiao Siwen bid farewell to Yelu Xiezhen, and after returning home, he told his family to prepare to salute early. Because there are a lot of things to bring with the family, it is not easy to prepare for one day.

The next day, Xiao Siwen heard that Ye Luxian had come to the mansion privately, thinking that the boy might have come to say goodbye to his daughter. At this time, everything was complicated, so Xiao Siwen didn't pay much attention.

...Ye Luxian and Yanyan were talking politely under a peach blossom tree.

Ye Luxian said: "When Yanyan comes back from Youzhou, I will go and beg your father to marry you to me. Then we can always stay together."

Yanyan still didn't understand this kind of thing, and she was very willing to hear this reason. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and Yanyan suddenly thought of something, and laughed through tears: "Brother Xian is older than me, but I always bully you. If you marry me, aren't you afraid that I will bully you for the rest of your life?"

Yeluxian shook his head.

Yan Yan smiled again: "But Brother Xian, don't be afraid. Although I bully you, if others bully you, I will always protect you."

Ye Luxian suddenly nodded vigorously: "That's it, Yanyan's clever tongue said everything I was thinking!"

Just at this moment, a middle-aged Khitan woman came over and called Ye Luxian: "We can't stay in Xiao's residence for too long, let's go after we finish talking."

Ye Luxian reluctantly left, and after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I am willing to be bullied by Yanyan for the rest of my life."

Yanyan's beauty | A smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Brother Xian is so stupid!"

Ye Luxian said: "I'm not stupid, whoever treats me well knows it in my heart."

Ye Luxian is already fourteen years old, and his health is a bit weak, because he was frightened when his parents were killed, and the root cause of the disease has always been in poor health, but the bumpy growth experience has made him more sensible. Since she was a child, she liked the beautiful and lively Yanyan, not to mention her father is a person with real power and influence in Daliao. In Yeluxian's eyes, this is the best partner.

His father was Emperor Daliao, and his mother was Queen Zhenggong. His noble background made him feel arrogant all the time, but his real status made him have to endure it. Although he was young, he felt a certain desire and unwillingness in his heart.

A young man left the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao Mansion was a bit chaotic, the young man did not draw much attention from people. The still chilly wind blew through the houses of the Xiao Mansion, everything seemed to be in turmoil. \u003c
