From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1170

Guan Miaoshan lay on her back on the bed, her wet hair clinging to her blushing face.

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Let's talk about land next."

He sat up, brought two cups of tea, and the two of them simply sat on the bed and drank.

Zhou Yuan said: "The Western Regions may seem far from the capital, but for the Jin Dynasty, they are of utmost importance."

"The region is vast, with a border of thousands of miles, bordering Central Asian countries. It is a must-pass place on the ancient Silk Road and also a core place."

"The unique nation and the unique region have nurtured a brilliant and splendid unique culture."

"How many countries are full of covetousness for it, and our ancestors of all dynasties have always devoted their efforts to it."

"If we don't recover it, how can we live up to the selfless sacrifices of the pioneers of the Chinese nation? How can we live up to the thousands of years of cultural heritage?"

Guan Miaoshan frowned and said: "I agree with what you said, and I also think that it should be recovered, but shouldn't we delay it?"

"We have fought for so many years, and our foundation is almost empty. The whole country is positive and eager to develop."

"My opinion is that after four or five years, when we have completely taken off, we can slowly recover the Western Regions."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "We can't wait that long. The development of a great country depends on both land and sea. If the continent is not flat, development will be hindered. If the continent wants to be flat, the Western Regions must be taken."

"Big sister, the world will not allow a giant to stand up so smoothly. If we really want to develop with peace of mind, we must build our own iron wall."

"Thirty years ago, Junggar rebelled and became independent. Now Yarkand has unified the Western Regions and is eyeing Gansu and the West Sea."

"We won the battle in Liaodong and Gansu was also defended, so they dare not act rashly."

"How to treat them has become a lesson for other forces in the future, such as U-Tsang."

Empress Zhao Jing's face suddenly became serious.

Zhou Yuan continued: "So we must deal with the Yarkand Khanate as soon as possible and completely destroy it, while also curbing the ideological fire of U-Tsang."

"If the Western Regions return, the continent will be peaceful. If the continent is peaceful, the world will be settled, the nation will rise, and the country will take off."

Empress Zhao Jing was silent for a long time before she said solemnly: "Okay, let's do as you say. No matter what, we must first take over the Western Regions and build a copper wall and iron wall on the land."

"But how to do it can only be determined by you. I am not good at this."

Zhou Yuan sneered: "Of course it's like boiling a frog in warm water."

"First, you send an imperial edict to Yarkand, asking them to become a vassal state of the Great Jin, and everything that happened will be forgiven."

"Now he After all, we are in an awkward situation. We cannot defeat them by force. When we recover, it will be their time to destroy our country. "

"This imperial edict has three purposes. First, it calms people's hearts and makes the Yarkand leaders think that there is a way out, so as to prevent them from fighting to the death and causing us greater losses."

"Second, it alienates people's hearts. There must be pro-war and pro-peace factions among the Yarkand leaders. After this imperial edict comes out, the pro-war and pro-peace factions will naturally start fighting, and cracks will begin to appear in their internal structure, giving us the opportunity to infiltrate."

"Third, when Yarkand is destroyed in the future, this group of pro-peace factions can become our management personnel and manage the people on the spot. At the same time, in terms of the people, we also occupy the name of benevolence and righteousness. ”

“The name of benevolence and righteousness is sometimes insignificant, but sometimes it is extremely important. In the future, if you win the hearts of the people and implement the government orders, everything will be smooth.”

Empress Zhao Jing said: “Well, I understand what you mean, let’s do it.”

“But after the imperial edict, how to expand their rift and how to pacify them, have you thought about it?”

Zhou Yuan said: “Wait for a while, I will go to the Western Regions in person to get this done.”

“This battle cannot be fought hard, I will plan slowly and infiltrate step by step.”

Speaking of this, he laughed and said slowly: “Guan Lu returned to Dajin two months earlier than me. It is estimated that he has brought his family to Shenjing. After a while, he will take the core backbone of Shenque and set off first to cooperate with the Second Division I will meet you in Yili and find out the details of the other party. "

Guan Miaoshan couldn't help but sighed: "You have worked so hard. You just came back and you are planning to go out."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "I will stay in Shenjing for at least two months to accompany you."

"I am tired and don't want to move. Although the things in the Western Regions are complicated, they are not difficult. I am very confident. Don't worry."

Guan Miaoshan whispered: "Okay, forgive you for all your unkindness just now."

Zhou Yuan said: "What else?"

Guan Miaoshan chuckled: "I don't care about Caixi's affairs. You can do whatever you want. I only have national affairs in my heart."

Zhou Yuan looked at her and chuckled: "What else?"

Guan MiaoshanGlancing at him, she snorted heavily, "Shameless thing, okay, find an auspicious day, I will marry Qinshui and Bishui to fulfill your little wish."

Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "The one who knows me is my senior sister!"

Guan Miaoshan suddenly said, "Don't be complacent, there is a condition."

Zhou Yuan said, "What condition?"

Guan Miaoshan squinted and snorted, "When I am pregnant, it is the time to marry them."

Uh... Is this her little trick...

Zhou Yuan smiled and pulled the curtain.

...

The next day, Qinshui and Bishui learned that Zhou Yuan had returned, and they couldn't help but enter the palace.

In the courtyard of Ziwei Palace, Zhou Yuan and Guan Miaoshan were lying on chairs, basking in the early spring sun, feeling carefree.

Especially Guan Miaoshan, her face was rosy and radiant, as if she had changed into a different person, with a smile on her face all the time.

Seeing the two coming, she couldn't help but teasing: "Hey! Hearing that your man is here, you came to see me in the morning? Why don't I see you care about me so much at other times!"

Princess Qinshui pouted, her face aggrieved and helpless, and couldn't help looking at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Peixian, Yunxian, come and sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a good chat."

Princess Qinshui whispered: "How dare I sit next to the prince, my sister and I are just princesses who have lost their power."

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud: "Haha, you are still aggrieved, senior sister, tell them the good news."

Good news?

The two sisters looked at each other, a little confused.

Guan Miaoshan said: "Last night, someone worked tirelessly and almost used up his mouth, and finally persuaded me to grant you two a marriage."

"Congratulations, you will not be princesses in the future, but princesses."

The two were obviously stunned for a moment, their faces full of disbelief.

They only remembered that Zhou Yuan mentioned this matter, saying that he would marry them after returning from the war, but they didn't expect that he would do it on the first day he came back.

He was thinking about us...

Thinking of this, Princess Qinshui almost cried and whispered: "Zhou Yuan... I... I..."

She didn't know what to say, so she simply walked up to him and hugged him.

Princess Bishui turned her head to the other side and quietly wiped away her tears.

She thought that she would not get all this.

Now it seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

In addition to being touched, she was only grateful.
