The streets of Tokyo's inner city are covered with bricks and stones, and the sound of horse hooves stepping on the road is extra crisp, da da da... Each sound is simply like a pea falling into the plate.
Guo Shao looked at the scene outside and his eyes were quickly attracted by an unfinished building complex.He looked around and asked casually: Is this the Gongde Pavilion we asked the Ministry of Works to send someone to supervise the construction?
Li Chuyun nodded quickly and said yes.
As the carriage moved forward, Guo Shao's head also turned, and his eyes watched the place for a long time.He withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Chuyun sitting opposite him, who was also busy owing his body.
General Li can also hang his portrait inside a hundred years later.Guo Shao said in a casual tone.
Li Chuyun clasped his fists and said: All achievements belong to Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for it.
Li Chuyun's posture was very reserved, but Guo Shao spoke very directly: But my portrait cannot be hung in this place, it should be in the Taimiao.
Li Chuyun looked puzzled for a moment, as if this sentence was difficult to respond.
Guo Shao then thought... If Li Chuyun agreed, it seemed that since ancient times, the emperor was more taboo to death, otherwise how could there be the saying that longevity would last forever?
Forget it, let's not talk about this.Guo Shao waved his hand.
Li Chuyun was busy talking about it and changed the topic.
But Guo Shao's thoughts did not change so quickly. He was thinking about the Xuanren Merit Pavilion I just saw. For a moment, he suddenly had an idea: most civil and military ministers agreed to the Northern Expedition, and there may be a reason for this Merit Pavilion. They wanted to make achievements as much as possible and seize the opportunity to leave their names... However, Guo Shao issued an order to build this place, which was not the purpose.
Not long ago, the scope of knowledge of attacking Youzhou was expanded to the Political Affairs Hall (such a big thing must be made known to the prime ministers), and it was opposed by Prime Minister Fan Zhi. Fan Zhi wanted to scold those who supported the Northern Expedition to instigate the emperor to fight for military service.
However, this kind of achievements in opening up the territory really has little to do with civil servants.
People who can leave portraits and achievements in it don’t know how many lives there are in their hands. As the saying goes, one general will achieve success and thousands of bones will be undone.Guo Shao himself didn't know how many people died.
In front of the ministers, Guo Shao could not say whatever he wanted.
In the past, Li Chuyun had a good relationship with him and his colleagues, so it was easier to speak, but Guo Shao could not do it after he ascended the throne... I talked a lot with Li Chuyun during this trip, but it can be seen that Li Chuyun was also cautious in speaking.
Guo Shao also kept silent about what he thought.
After a while, he looked at Li Chuyun and said seriously: No matter how you do it, you cannot avoid being devastated.What we do is to exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of the people.The soldiers are sacrificing 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 explained: The Liao people occupied the land of Youyun. Once they had the chance, they would easily lead troops to invade the south.Just like last year, the Youzhou army plundered the Yi and Dingzhous, if the main force of the Liao army went south, the area of disaster would be wider.
We are not doing what we should do when we are doing great things.Even these things require many people to sacrifice their lives.
Guo Shao was reasoning with Li Chuyun, but seemed to be convincing himself.
However, of course, he did not launch a war just for noble reasons. People have desires or dreams, and Guo Shao is no exception.
...When returning to the imperial city, Guo Shao did not go to Jinxiang Hall again and went straight into Xuanyou Gate.
Because today is a ten-day holiday, and the king and his ministers do not work, so they are just a day off to bathe and change clothes, which is equivalent to a weekend in later generations.
However, weekends are derived from Christianity, and taking holidays is a traditional custom in ancient times.
Guo Shao didn't want to go to the Zide Hall or the Wansui Hall, so he simply went to the Sanqing Hall and the Taoist temple in the imperial palace.
It is very quiet and is a place for meditation.He went to visit Qingxu first and said something to her for a while, but he had basically no common language with Qingxu, after all, he was too young.
Guo Shao remembered Concubine Zhang who became a monk here, and asked her that she was still in the Sanqing Palace.
He vaguely remembered a sentence from Concubine Zhang. After she said that, she would see the emperor again for one year or two years or ten years.
So Guo Shao decided to visit Concubine Zhang.
Zhang welcomed Guo Shao into the room at the entrance of the Qingxiu Hall. There was only one Taoist nun around, and the etiquette was relatively simple.
Guo Shao immediately asked: How good is Tai Guifei in Sanqing Palace? What is the use of it?
Zhang said slowly: Your Majesty and the Queen treat the people in the palace well, I am very good 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 said softly: People like me have never asked about it, thank Your Majesty for your concern.
Guo Shao said: You don’t have to thank the concubine Tai. I also think this place is very good and far away from the secular world.
Zhang immediately whispered: If your Majesty wants to be quiet, you can come and sit there often.I don't have anyone to speak.
The nun was boiling water and tea inside, and she could be seen from the hall outside.Guo Shao did feel that the atmosphere here was different. Although it was in the palace, it seemed to be isolated from everything.
He saw Go on the table, and then he looked down at the chess game above.
Seeing this, Zhang smiled and said: If Your Majesty is interested, let’s play the Goji you taught me last time?
Guo Shao said: That game is too simple, it would be boring to keep playing.Tai Guifei taught me to play Go?
Zhang looked at Guo Shao’s face: Your Majesty really doesn’t know how to play chess?
To be honest, I used to be a pure martial artist, how could I do these elegant things?Guo Shao said it without any pressure. He found that it was indeed easy to be in this place, but I knew the most basic rules. If I were to siege my chess pieces and places, and then I count who occupied the larger territory.
A nearly forgotten concubine of the former dynasty would always be imprisoned in the palace. Guo Shao really felt that she could not have any impact on the government.
After hearing this, Zhang explained several strategies in detail, and then asked Guo Shao to practice chess with her.
After a long time, the Taoist nun around Zhang brought the tea. Everything was very slow. The simple hall room was filled with a faint tea fragrance. From time to time, a gentle bang sounded, and time seemed to pass even slower.
The furnishings in this place are very simple, and even the tables where they play chess are ordinary wood and they don't even have paint.However, it made Guo Shao feel relaxed and there were not so many decorations to affect people's mood.
Guo Shao said: I heard that when playing chess, you have to meet opponents. Will Concubine Tai Guiwei play chess with an opponent like me feel boring?
Zhang looked at Guo Shao with a smile on his face and shook his head without hesitation.
The two continued to play chess silently.The two people who once had only met one time did not understand each other and did not seem to have much to say.
Zhang took advantage of the gap and lifted the teapot with a thin mouth and poured a cup of tea into a small cup, handed it to Guo Shao, and said softly: This is a place where you are pure and have few desires. There is no particularity in the tea set, and there is no good tea. Your Majesty should not be disgusted.
After hearing this, Guo Shao looked at her and felt that a truly pure-minded person might not care about these external things.
Zhang is indeed not like a real practitioner. She is too beautiful, with dark hair, white skin, red lips, charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and lines between her plump breasts, destroying that temperament.
He calmed down and said: As long as the teapot does not leak, the value of hundreds of coins is the same as the value of a few cigarettes.
Zhang looked at him thoughtfully.
Guo Shao also said: The valuable thing is just because people agree with its value.As long as we both agree that these things are very particular, they will be a good tea.
Zhang gently raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and smiled: Your Majesty's words are really interesting.
There was another silence, leaving only the sound of making moves, and the two of them were talking in a match.Guo Shao suddenly asked again: Does Concubine Tai believe that there are ghosts in this world after death?
Zhang stopped his smile and his face changed.Guo Shao suddenly realized that what she might have thought of was Taizu who had died.
Her eyelashes trembled in the streaming light from the window, and she pursed her lips and pretended to be relaxed: I am a Taoist priest, and I shouldn't be afraid of ghosts.
Guo Shao looked up at her: What I thought of is that so many wars have been fought in the past few years, and it is no longer clear how many people have killed them.
Since ancient times, great achievements have been made up of corpses.Zhang changed his words.
Guo Shao nodded: This Go is also very interesting. The person who invented it back then must be the ones who participated in the battle for the world.Both sides of the game are trying their best to occupy the territory, and the more people they occupy can win.I keep trying to compete for more territory, and want to be bigger and stronger, but I can't stop.
Zhang said: Although Your Majesty is just beginning to learn chess, he immediately understands the artistic conception.
Guo Shao showed a reluctant smile: I can't help but think about everything now, maybe it's not a good thing.Recently, I feel more and more that I have lost the spirit of moving forward before. Even though I have decided, I often look back and forth.
Zhang pondered for a moment and said kindly: Your Majesty captured Jinyang, a majestic city in half a month, which shocked the world. You have long been a wise ruler.However, it is inevitable that people on the throne have a lot of thoughts.
oh?Guo Shao finally felt that this person who had been a concubine had really seen the world.
At this time, his body and mind were relaxed, and the emotions accumulated in his heart also emerged.
Always in front of others, even if he has any emotions, he will be upright and confident, so that he can stabilize people's hearts.
Guo Shao really feels that he is in a bad mood these days.Now he has more and more things, his situation is getting better and better, and his mood is getting worse. I really don’t know what’s going on.
The two played several games in a row, and they played very quickly because they didn't meet the opponent.Seeing that it was almost noon, Guo Shao stood up and said goodbye.
Zhang said: If Your Majesty doesn’t bother with simple food, you can also have lunch in Sanqing Hall.
Guo Shao immediately smiled and said: I'm here to visit the elders of the royal family. It's inappropriate to stay for too long and have to eat.Concubine Tai takes care of herself, I will come and greet you later.
He then said: I will remember the conversation with Tai Guifei.
Guo Shao looked at the scene outside and his eyes were quickly attracted by an unfinished building complex.He looked around and asked casually: Is this the Gongde Pavilion we asked the Ministry of Works to send someone to supervise the construction?
Li Chuyun nodded quickly and said yes.
