Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao took the things offered by Lu Duoxun and withdrew to the Hall of Yangde.

At this time, in the Yangde Hall, a woman in her thirties was holding an inkstone in both hands. When Guo Shao was about to dip the ink, she could raise the inkstone in time to reach his hand. Because she always pays attention to Guo Shao's most subtle every move, can judge when he needs what.

This woman is Li Shanggong. Her light red dress fell to the floor, covering her lower body, and her legs were kneeling on the ground. Although she didn't dare to stare at Guo Shao's face all the time, she kept observing Guo Shao's expression from the corner of her eyes. Guo Shao was very attentive. He only saw the picture in front of him and the crumpled paper next to him. He turned a blind eye to everything.

Li Shanggong's arms were weak, and her knees were painful, but there was another feeling that made her very comfortable. She loves to see Guo Shao's serious and focused look, he has a breath that makes Li Shanggong feel very good.

From time to time, she carefully peeked at the things that Guo Shao painted. There were lines of mountains and rivers. Li Shanggong didn't quite understand, but she knew that Guo Shao was thinking about the big things...Anyway, it was the same as those in the palace. The trivia is completely different. She looked up at Guo Shao in her heart, and felt that he was struggling to give birth to a heart of compassion inexplicably.

...At this moment, Guo Shao saw Li Shanggong sideways, and he was taken aback for a moment and said: "Aren't you tired on your knees? Get up quickly."

Li Shanggong blurted out: "The concubine is willing to serve your majesty both physically and mentally..."

After she said, her face suddenly turned red, and she gently tilted her head. Guo Shao followed her gaze, and there were three men standing beside him, Wang Pu, Li Gu Zuoyou. But they were all serious as if they had heard nothing and saw nothing.

Guo Shao put the brush on the inkstone and said: "It is not easy for Lu Duoxun to serve as a guest provincial envoy, and he will come to the cabinet study to add one more assistant to the government; Come to the cabinet and add one more member to the government."

Zuo You hurriedly said, "Here."

The other two did not say anything, because the cabinet was added by Guo Shao not long ago, and it has not yet formed a formal structure. Now it is unknown what kind of government is in charge. Anyway, neither the Privy Council nor the Political Affairs Hall can control it.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I want Zuo You to change the minister of the ritual department to Huang Binglian, the servant of the penalty department. Li Gong (Li Gu) asked in the political affairs hall, if everyone thinks there is nothing wrong, then do these things. stop."

Li Gu said: "The minister abides by the order."

Zuo You hurriedly knelt to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty Xie's grace."

Guo Shao said: "The political affairs hall has been short of people, and the public is overworked. It is a good thing that you two usually help the prime ministers to do something."

He said again: "This picture needs to be revised, and you will come back tomorrow."

The three of them said, "The ministers will leave."

When they left the Yangde Hall, Fang walked to a section of the corridor, and Li Gu drove through the archway: "Congratulations, Zuo Shilang for his promotion!"

Zuo You hurriedly said, "Where is it. We should congratulate Huang Fuzheng (Huang Binglian). Huang Fuzheng is really promoted. The official is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and he is changed to the minister of the Ministry of rites. Congratulations..."

Wang Pu raised his head and said abruptly in front: "It's just a matter of the same thing."

Zuo You stopped talking, and when he looked at Li Gu, Li Gu smiled and stopped talking.

The three of them continued to move forward, Zuo You kept pondering in his heart. The emperor's understatement just now has a lot of meaning... Just as Wang Pu said, Zuo You and Huang Binglian used the cabinet to assist and lead the six ministers. What is the difference between the same thing as the prime minister? The emperor seemed to arrange the two of them as prime ministers from the beginning.

Guo Shao really needs a prime minister.

After Feng Dao died, there were only three prime ministers left in the court, Wang Pu and Li Gu Fan Zhi, and Fan Zhi was not happy to find the emperor from time to time. The prime minister can't just drag an individual to go on board, and most people can't control a hundred officials.

To supplement the prime minister, someone who is trusted by the emperor like Zuo You and who is familiar with government affairs in the cabinet is indeed the best candidate.

When Zuo You thought of this, his eyes were even more enlightened. However, he still looked humble and serious, trying to restrain his excitement from showing himself. Zuo Youxin said: People who want to be prime ministers of course have to be happy and unobtrusive!

Feng Hou Baixiang, the world do what they dream of. Zuo You thought that a few years ago, he was still a low-ranking official, and now he is about to worship the face when he is in his twenties. It is hard to describe the feeling of smoking from his ancestral grave.

At this time, Wang Pu suddenly turned around and said: "Today, I am trying my best to govern, and the country is rising like a rising sun. It is a good time for you to become famous ministers in history."

...

While the foreign minister left the Yangde Hall, Li Shanggong did not know where to get a bowl of white fungus and jujube soup. She stirred the silver spoon while blowing the soup gently.

Guo Shao was sitting on the couch in deep thought and did nothing for the time being. But in Yu Guangli, I saw Li Shanggong at the back and took a sip of the soup, then brought it up. Her cheeks blushed, and she turned the bowl gently, and brought the place where she had drunk to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao pretended not to know, but he looked up at her face and saw Li Shanggong's pretending to be nonchalant but his face flushed.

This woman is in her thirties, but she does some small gestures. However, Guo Shao was not disgusted, but felt very comfortable and relaxed. Although it is a master-servant relationship, getting along day and night has the same feeling of being taken care of by her sister at home, which makes Guo Shao very useful.

Li Shang Palace is not very beautiful, it seems that the ladies don't like her very much. But Guo Shao looked pleasing to her eyes... Actually, after familiarizing with a woman, her appearance is not particularly important as long as she is not too ugly.

Guo Shao picked it up, looked at the mouth of the fine white bowl, with a hint of carmine remaining, and took a sip from that place. Then when she paid attention to Li Shanggong, she pursed her lips and tried her best not to laugh.

Guo Shao didn't order it. He picked up the sterling silver spoon and stirred it twice in the bowl, and found that the jujubes in it had actually been peeled and used for the aberdeen. This was not easy enough, and it was very delicate.

Tremella soup, something that Guo Shao couldn't be familiar with before, he can drink it casually on the roadside for three or two yuan a bowl! But here, proper luxury goods are said to be more expensive than gold.

He immediately said: "Call someone in the palace, don't give me this kind of thing in the future. No matter how expensive things are, you can't grow a few catties of fat after eating. The country has a lot of money to spend."

Li Shanggong was slightly aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty...concubine body will follow your Majesty's will."

She said again: "Although the concubine body doesn't understand what your majesty is drawing, she feels that your majesty has worked hard...it hurts your majesty." After she said, she stretched her head to look at the picture.

Seeing what this said, Guo Shao almost followed her way.

... Guo Shao didn't tell her what she painted, he just looked at the things on the picture. A map centered on the Hexi Corridor and scaled, but it is not accurate, because the information Ludoxun brought back is not detailed.

On the west side is the Western Regions, roughly in the "Xinjiang" area. Among them, there are many forces. The larger ones are the Nine-surnamed Wuhu Khotan Tuhuoluo Xizhou Huihu Gelulu Tuqishi and other tribes. There is only one name, and Guo Shao has never seen them. He basically doesn't know who they are... Only the Uighurs have a bit of concept. The early Tang threatened the Uighur Khanate of the Tang Dynasty, and they belonged to the Uighurs.

The Hexi Corridor is the passage from the Western Regions to Longyou and other places, and it is also the richest area with fertile aquatic plants and abundant grains. There are mountains on the north and south sides, and the desert next door to the north is seldom populated; on the south is the Qilian Mountains. To the south of the Qilian Mountains, the Achai tribe of Tubo is in the west, and the Tuosima tribe of Tubo is in the east.

The Han people in the Hexi Corridor accounted for the majority of the population, which benefited from the expansion of the military garrison that began during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the Han regime only occupied the Guasha area in the west, the Guiyi Army. The central area was occupied by the Uighurs and was called the Ganzhou Uighurs; Liangzhou in the west was controlled by the Zhebu clan of the Liugubu, two tribes of Tubo.

The corridor goes east into Wushaoling, which is Longyou. The "ji"-shaped area in the Yellow River Hetao.

In the western part of Longyou, the Central Plains dynasty had all lost this area, and the Tubo Tusi Ma Ministry Party Committee was active in it. Only the Lingzhou Shuofang Jiedu in the north possessed the Yinchuan Plain in the "Xituo".

To the east and south is Guanzhong, which is the Dazhou site. To the north is Xiazhou and other places, the site of the Li family of the Dangxiang Tuoba clan, and to the north is the "Dongtao" area in the south of Yinshan, which has entered the territory of Liao.

A lot of information is very sketchy, but Guo Shao somehow fills in the blanks in the western part of the territory.

Now he can at least figure out what is going on in the west of his country...the situation is a mess!

In addition to the various barbarian tribes with complex forces, even the internal northwestern towns are in a semi-state, such as the Feng family in the Zhejia Lingzhou in Guanzhong, and the emperor Tiangao is far away. The imperial court bestowed officials; only Wang Jing and his sons of Qinzhou, although they were also vassal towns, they fought side by side with Guo Shao and were very supportive of Guo Shao's regime.

"Hey!" Guo Shao threw the brush on the inkstone casually, and rubbed his temple with his hand.

Li Shanggong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'll rub your concubine body for you."

"Um..." Guo Shao said ~www.readwn.com~ and closed his eyes.

Not only are the forces complicated, but the relationship is also very complicated. Guo Shao thought for a long time, and finally grasped two threads from this mess: it was his temporary goal for the Northwest.

One, expand the war horse.

Second, prevent the rebellion in the western region and contain the force of restraining the country at a critical moment.

He thought along these two goals, and soon thought of the land in Xiazhou... the foundation of the Xixia Dynasty!

Guo Shao opened his eyes and remembered that Wang Pujin had contributed the files in Xiazhou and other four states, so he looked for it on the table. He knew the approximate location, which was probably the area south of Ordos in the southern part of the Yellow River. There may be plains, plateaus, hills and gully.

This piece of land is definitely a huge hidden danger. In history, neither the Northern Song Dynasty nor the Liao Kingdom had anything to do with them. Hanging on the head of Guanzhong is also a great threat to Da Zhou.

Guo Shao decided to learn as much as possible about the Xiazhou Dangxiang area before making a decision.
