Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The streets of Tokyo’s inner city were paved with masonry, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the pavement was extra crisp, "Da Da Da..." Every sound fell into the plate like peas.

Guo Shao looked at the scenery outside, his eyes quickly attracted by an unfinished building complex. He looked around the location, and asked casually: "This is the Gongde Pavilion that we asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone to supervise and build?"

Li Chuyun nodded and said yes.

As the carriage moved forward, Guo Shao's head also turned, watching the place for a long time. He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Chuyun, who was sitting across from him. Li Chuyun owed himself too busy.

"General Li a hundred years later, the portrait can also be hung inside." Guo Shao said casually.

Li Chuyun clasped his fist and said, "Your majesty belongs to all the merits, and ministers dare not claim credit."

Li Chuyun's posture is very cautious, but Guo Shao speaks very directly: "But my portrait cannot be hung in this place, it should be in the Taimiao."

Li Chuyun was embarrassed for a while, as if it was difficult to respond to this sentence. Guo Shao just wondered... if Li Chuyun agreed, it seems that the emperor has been more taboo against death since ancient times, otherwise, how can there be such a saying that there is no limit to life.

"Fine, let's not talk about this." Guo Shao waved his hand.

Li Chuyun hurriedly looked at it and turned the subject off.

However, Guo Shao’s thoughts did not change so quickly. He was thinking about the Xuanren Gongde Pavilion that he saw just now. Suddenly he had an idea: Most of the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs favored the Northern Expedition. There may also be reasons for this Gongde Pavilion. They wanted to make contributions and seize the opportunity to stay. Name... But Guo Shao's decrement to build this place was not for this purpose.

Not long ago, the scope of knowing about the attack on Youzhou was expanded to the political affairs hall (for such a big matter, the prime ministers had to be informed), and he was opposed by the prime minister, who wanted to scold those who supported the Northern Expedition to encourage the emperor to be aggressive. However, this kind of achievements in opening up territories does not have much to do with civil officials.

Those who can leave portraits and deeds in it don’t know how many lives are in their hands, just as the saying goes. Guo Shao himself did not know how many people were killed.

In front of the minister, Guo Shao couldn't just say whatever he thought. In the past, Li Chuyun was a good friend and colleague. It was more convenient to talk, but Guo Shao couldn't do it after he became a throne... During this trip, I had a lot of conversations with Li Chuyun, but I can see that Li Chuyun is also very cautious in speaking.

Guo Shao also kept silent about what he thought.

After a while, he looked at Li Chuyun sternly and said: "No matter what we do, we can't avoid being overwhelmed. What we do is only exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of the people. The soldiers are making sacrifices for others."

Li Chuyun's expression condensed and said: "Your Majesty treats the people of the world with kindness, and the people are very lucky."

Guo Shao elaborated: "The Liao people occupy the land of Youyun. Once they have the opportunity, they will easily invade southward. Just like last year, the Youzhou Army looted Yi and Ding Erzhou. If the main force of the Liao Army goes south, the land will be even wider. .

We're not trying to rejoice in the military, we are doing what we should do. Even these things require a lot of lives. "

Guo Shao was arguing with Li Chuyun and seemed to convince himself.

However, he certainly did not start wars only for noble reasons. Everyone has desires or dreams, and Guo Shao is no exception.

... Back to the imperial city, Guo Shao didn't go to Jinxiang Temple again, and went straight to Xuanyoumen. Because today is a ten-day holiday, and the monarchs and ministers are not working, it is the time to bathe and change clothes for one day during the holiday, which is equivalent to the weekend of future generations. However, weekends come from Christianity, and taking vacations is an ancient tradition.

Guo Shao didn’t want to go to Zide Hall or Long Live Hall, so he went

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Sanqing Palace, Taoist temple in the imperial palace.

It's very peaceful here, and it's a clean repair place. He first visited Qingxu and talked to her for a while, but he didn't have much common language with Qingxu, after all, he was too young.

Guo Shao remembered Concubine Zhang Taigui who was a monk here, and when asked, she was still in the Sanqing Palace. He vaguely remembered a sentence from Concubine Zhang Taigui. After she said it, she would see the emperor again, whether it was one or two years or ten years. So Guo Shao temporarily decided to visit Concubine Zhang Taigui.

The Zhang clan welcomed Guo Shao into the room at the gate of Qingxiu's temple, surrounded by only a Taoist aunt, and the etiquette was relatively simple.

Guo Shao immediately asked: "It's good for the imperial concubine to be in the Sanqing Hall, what is the cost?"

Zhang slowly said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are kind to the people in the palace. I'm fine here. Your Majesty, please sit down."

Guo Shao sat down on the futon next to the wooden table in front of a wooden window, and Zhang's whispered again: "People like me didn't bother before, thank you Majesty."

Guo Shao said: "You don't have to thank the concubine, I also think it is very good here, far away from the world."

Zhang suddenly whispered: "If your Majesty wants to be quiet, you can come and sit often. I usually don't have anyone talking."

The aunt made water and tea inside, and she could be seen in the hall outside. Guo Shao really felt that the atmosphere here was different, although in the court, he seemed to be cut off from everything.

Seeing Go on the table, he immediately looked down at the game on it.

When Zhang saw this, he smiled and said, "If your majesty is interested, let's play the backgammon you taught me again?"

Guo Shao said, "The game is too simple, it's boring to play it all the time. Toogui concubine teaches me to play Go?"

Zhang looked at Guo Shao's face: "Your Majesty really knows how to play chess?"

"It's true that I was just a martial artist before. Where can these elegant things happen?" Guo Shao said without pressure. He found that it was really easy in this place. "But I understand the most basic rules. Drop the flags and places, and then count who occupies the largest territory."

A former imperial concubine who was almost forgotten will always be imprisoned in the palace. Guo Shao really feels that she cannot have any influence on the government.

After listening to Zhang, he explained several strategies in detail, and then asked Guo Shao to practice with her.

After a long time, the Taoist aunt next to Zhang brought the tea up. Everything was very slow. The concise hall was filled with a faint fragrance of tea. From time to time, there was a soft "pop" sound, and time seemed to pass by more. Slow down.

The furnishings of this place are very simple. Even the tables where they play chess are made of ordinary wood, and they are not even painted. However, it made Guo Shao feel relaxed, without so many decorations to affect people's mood.

Guo Shao said: "I heard that in the game, we must match each other. Will Taigui concubine play chess with an opponent like me, will it be boring?"

With a smile on his face, Zhang looked at Guo Shao intently and shook his head without hesitation.

The two continued to play chess in silence. Two people who once had only one side bond really lacked understanding, and they didn't seem to be able to say much.

Zhang took advantage of the gap and lifted the thin-mouthed teapot to pour a cup of tea in the small cup, handed it to Guo Shao, and said softly: "This is a place where there is no desire, there is nothing special about tea sets, and there is no good tea. Your Majesty Dislike it."

After listening, Guo Shao glanced at her and felt that a truly pure-hearted person would not care about these extraneous objects. Zhang's is indeed not like a real pure-skilled person. She is too gorgeous, with black hair, white skin, red lips, the charm between the eyebrows and the plump breasts.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The lines have destroyed that temperament.

He calmed down and said, "As long as the teapot does not leak, the value of a hundred guan and a few words is the same."

Zhang looked at him thoughtfully.

Guo Shao added: "Precious things are only because people agree with their value. As long as we both agree with these things to be very particular, it is a good tea."

Zhang gently raised his cloth sleeves to cover his mouth, and smiled: "Your Majesty's words are really interesting."

There was another silence, and only the voice of the son was left, and the two of them spoke with each other. Guo Shao suddenly asked again: "Does the imperial concubine believe that there are ghosts in this world after death?"

Zhang stopped his smile, his face changed. Guo Shao suddenly realized that she might be thinking of Taizu who had died.

Her eyelashes trembled in the stream of light from the window, and she pursed her mouth, pretending to be relaxed and said, "I am a Taoist priest, and I shouldn't be afraid of ghosts."

Guo Shao raised his head and glanced at her: "What I think of is that so many battles have been fought in the past few years, and it is unclear how many people have been killed."

"Since ancient times, the great cause has been made from bones." Zhang changed his mouth.

Guo Shao nodded: "This Go is also very interesting. The person who invented it back then must be the high-ranking player who participated in the competition for the world. Both sides of the game are trying their best to occupy the territory, and the more people can win it. Constantly wanting to fight for more If you want to be bigger and stronger, there are so many sites, but you can't take it anymore."

Zhang said: "Although your majesty is a beginner in chess, he is immediately comprehending the artistic conception."

Guo Shao smiled reluctantly: "I just can't help thinking too much about everything, maybe it's not a good thing. Recently, I feel more and more that I have lost my indomitable spirit before, and I often look forward to the things I have decided. Restless."

The Zhang clan pondered for a moment, and said with good words: "Your Majesty captured the Xiongcheng Jinyang in half a month and shocked the world. You have long been the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is inevitable for those in the throne to think a lot."

"Oh?" Guo Shao finally felt that UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the person who had been a noble concubine, had really seen the world.

At this time, his body and mind were relaxed, and the backlog of thoughts in his heart also emerged. Normally in front of people, even if he has any emotions, he will be upright and confident, so as to stabilize people's hearts.

Guo Shao really feels that he is in a bad mood this time. Now he has more and more things, and his situation is getting better and better, but his mood is getting worse. He really doesn't know what's going on.

The two played a few games in a row, because the chess did not meet the opponent and played quickly. Seeing that it was almost noon, Guo Shao got up and left.

Zhang said: "If your majesty doesn't like eating too much tea and rice, Sanqing Hall can also have lunch."

Guo Shao immediately smiled and said: "I'm here to visit the elders of the royal family. It is not good to stay for too long and have to eat. Too royal concubine takes care of her body, and I will greet you later."

He went on to say: "I will remember the conversation with the royal concubine."
