Chapter 689 No desires and no desires

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The wind blows on the imperial city, and the yellow flags on the Beiyuan City Tower sway in the wind.

Fu Jinzhan slowly walked up the stone steps, and behind him a group of palace maids and eunuchs bowed to follow.

The wind blew her dress against her body, and her hair was also blown up. A few strands of black hair floated in the wind, floating on her jade-like face, adding a little bit of sadness to her beautiful face.

She walked up and saw a man in martial arts uniform standing alone on the Beiyuan grassland. He was the emperor of the Great Zhou, Guo Shao.

Guo Shao's anticle was facing the city tower, and the direction was very inconsistent.Fu Jinzhan raised her face, felt the wind direction in the air, and guessed that Guo Shao was following the wind for the accuracy of archery.

He was shooting arrows there, his movements were monotonous and repeated. He pulled out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, spread his arms, aimed at the target in front, aimed at the target for a moment, and then shot the arrow.

Then draw the arrow again, repeating the cycle without any pauses or accidents.

Bang!From time to time, a boring string sound came.After a while, there was another snap.

The bow string seemed to be shaking in Fu Jinzhan's heart. Somehow, she felt a little painful when she saw this scene.

The eunuch Cao Tai said carefully: Your Majesty met the minister in the morning, read the memorial for an hour, and was shooting arrows here, until now.

Fu Jinzhan looked down at the grassland with her neck straight and said nothing.

Guo Shao is already the emperor, and there are many people around him, but Fu Jinzhan believes that no one except him truly understands him, because people's heights will be different.

After a long time, Guo Shao finally turned around and found Fu Jinzhan's yellow clothes.

He stood there and looked up at this side, and Fu Jinzhan also looked at him.

The two of them were separated by a long distance, and the sound of the wind roared in the middle. One looked at each other as if he had passed through thousands of years of time.

Cao Tai said: This morning, Prime Minister Fan Zhi wrote a letter to discuss peace, and was just a post by His Majesty on the spot...

Fu Jinzhan finally spoke: Your Majesty is still a person who can tolerate compromise. As long as it is beneficial, he can negotiate peace with anyone, but he cannot negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom.

Cao Tai hurriedly said: Yes, I think Fan Zhi is a person who seems loyal but actually seeks fame!

Fu Jinzhan stood for a long time, without any intention of persuading her, and turned around and left the city tower.

...The more things a person has, the greater the responsibilities he shoulders, the less courage he is, and the more he walks on thin ice.

Guo Shao fully understood the seriousness of the matter, and he had not made any decisions for a long time.But there was an unbearable unwillingness to be stuck in his chest, which made him unwilling to give up.

I occasionally look back and think about it, I may be a little prejudiced to Fan Zhi, so I am so dissatisfied with him.

After the war in the Central Plains over the years, there was actually not much strength that could really fight. At the beginning of the year, the Northern Expedition had just stopped trying, but it had already tried the Northern Expedition, otherwise the result would not be a hasty retreat.

Fan Zhi’s suggestions are really a little harsh, but they are not a way. Perhaps in their opinion, they are a very pragmatic approach.

At present, it is not difficult to unify most areas and establish a unified dynasty, as the general trend is to stick to the territory that has been obtained and to govern well, which is beneficial to the emperor himself and the ministers and nobles who have obtained a lot of resources. At least there is no problem in sharing wealth and honor... In history, the Central Plains found it difficult to conquer the Liao Kingdom, and this was also done.

But Guo Shao was unwilling to give up and was even more uneasy.

After practicing arrows for most of the day, he felt soreness in his waist and back, and his arms were so weak that he had no strength, so he took his things and left Beiyuan.

In fact, I practiced this kind of exercise every day seven or eight years ago, and I did lack exercise in the past two years.

When he returned to the Hall of Success, Guo Shao did not summon any concubines to sleep, and his daily life was taken care of by Yulian.

When Yulian saw Guo Shao, she said: Mrs. Dong (Gao) came to visit me that day. I knew she had the right to be a Jinlan with Your Majesty, but she was not familiar with me...

She glanced at Guo Shao and paused: Mrs. Dong loves golden locks (princesses) very much. She gave a pair of gold bracelets with gems, which should be very expensive.

Women are really very sensitive to some things.Guo Shao pretended not to understand and said: I will accept it after I gave it.

Um.Yulian said.

Guo Shao sat down on the Jinnan chair in front of the book case, reached out and touched his forehead. When he thought of Gao, he also wondered that even the wife of her identity had never escaped and was arrested by the Khitans... But it can be imagined that the Khitans were very serious in harassing and abducting people!

The Central Plains Dynasty seemed to them as a ranch, and when they had no money or food, they came to pick them up.

Not only do they plunder resources by savagely, they also want to rob women to provide them with lust, just like their brothel!

The question is, why?!

Guo Shao's face gradually became colder, and a sense of humiliation and anger surged in his heart.The strong prey on the weak, and the only way to find a way to fight in this world is to find a way to fight.

The more he thought about it, the more he became dissatisfied. Because of this, his anger gradually faded.

Guo Shao understood that although he has always been called benevolence and righteousness, for the sake of internal cohesion, what he really won is not benevolence and righteousness, but the more rational and cold-blooded healing he is, the easier it is to judge accurately.

He opened the files on the table and began to look at the strategies provided by Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Cao Bin and others.

After watching for a while, he picked up his brush and wrote and painted on paper, drawing his ideas, which were all circles and squares, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, summarizing the experience and lessons, and deducing the strategies proposed by the ministers.

...Guo Shao's life has become very regular. He is almost not close to women, let alone Fu Jinzhang.

In the morning, I met with the important officials of the central government as usual, and then picked some memorials to see.

Then I went to Beiyuan to run, practice arrows, and ride horses until I was sweating profusely and exhausted.

The situation in Hebei is urgent, like water and fire, and the ministers have all kinds of remarks.But Guo Shao ignored it.

Instead of becoming impatient and irritable, he was more peaceful and patient than usual, had a very good temper and never scolded the minister again.

Only with a calm mind can you rationally examine risks and various factors!

August 29th, on the eve of the day of the Great Dynasty.

Guo Shao changed his whereabouts that had been very regular for many days and went to the Sanqing Palace.He sat in the temple for a while, but didn't want to see Qingxu who was too stupid, so he went straight to see Concubine Zhang.

Zhang seemed to have learned that Guo Shao had come to the Sanqing Hall and had dressed up and sat in the monotonous hall waiting.When she saw Guo Shao, she was still a little panicked and hurriedly came up to greet her.

Guo Shao was very casual, and even wore an old robe that had been worn for several years, without even a decorative jade pendant. If the robe was not made of silk, he would be a bit like a Taoist priest.

People are changing. In the past, Guo Shao still liked gold very much, probably because he thought he would maintain his value until a thousand years later; but later he lost interest in these things because he had reached the highest position where there was no way out, and those things had lost their meaning.

Guo Shao did not sit next to the chess case in front of the window. When he saw a scripture on a desk, he pointed and asked: Can I read it?

Zhang hurriedly said: Your Majesty, please feel free.I was free and followed the copied Taoist scriptures.

However, Guo Shao looked through it very carefully and looked at it for a long time.Zhang gradually adapted from his initial nervousness, made tea and sat down opposite Guo Shao.

A young woman who can concentrate on copying scriptures every day must have a good heart... although she is forced.

Guo Shao looked at it for a while and looked up and said: Taoism seems to emphasize no desires and no desires, and Tao follows nature.

Zhang smiled and said: That's exactly that.

Guo Shao relaxed and asked casually: Can copying scriptures work?

Zhang glanced at him and shook his head slightly.Guo Shao saw that although she was wearing a Taoist robe, her lips were carefully applied with light rouge. Although she was deliberately light, she could still see her modification afterwards.

She whispered: Thank you for letting me go to the banquet last time.

Guo Shao said: Waiting for the banquet was actually not very interesting.

Zhang said: It’s much more interesting than copying scriptures.It is really difficult for a person to truly achieve no desires and no desires.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: Today I just want to come to Sanqing Palace to calm down, and I came to disturb Tai Guifei... At this moment, I suddenly thought, would this be a trouble that was imposed on you?

Zhang shook his head without hesitation and blurted out: Actually... waiting for Your Dawn here also gave me a little hope for my life... She said this and her face turned red and continued slowly. Although the time is always long and I understand that there is no result, it is really sad to do this day after day.

Guo Shao looked at her. The pressure over the past few days made him uncontrollable in his words and deeds. He bowed and brought his upper body closer, almost all of them to Zhang's face and whispered: People's desires can be realized. If you give up, the degree of desire is not enough.

Zhang blushed and looked at him in surprise, unable to speak.

Guo Shao originally thought of calming down for a while in the Taoist temple, but unexpectedly, the crazy ambition in his eyes was revealed at this time, and it became increasingly difficult to control himself.

Deep in his heart, he originally felt that in ancient times, he had reached the point of mastering the country and could do whatever he wanted, which was earth-shaking. Unexpectedly, even Youzhou could not be taken back and was forced and harassed by the Liao army at every turn. This was something he could not accept!

He should not be restricted by the rules here.
