Thousands of Miles of the Same Wind + Fanwai

But in the hearts of Chu people, the sea is still terrifying.While believing in the Eastern Emperor, they continued to explore, trying to see the essence of the world clearly. Under such extremely contradictory psychology, they gradually figured out what the world looks like.

Thousands of years have passed, and the people of Chu have a thorough understanding of the situation of the barbarians in the northern border, and there is also a nautical chart in Emperor Chu's study.

Zhong Liran is also such an emperor who fears the gods but yearns for the truth.She heard Gu Siyuan talk about the prairie in Gerqin's mouth, and hidden worries arose in her heart. She frowned and said, "The barbarians are nomadic, and they are not good at farming. But last year, there was only a severe drought, and the eight major tribes of the barbarians could get rid of it." The former suspect has attacked Chu State. Gu Siyuan, if "

She hesitated for a while, and continued to talk to Gu Siyuan, "A few days ago, I asked Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang, and they reported the situation in the northern border. Over the years, the winter in the northern border has become longer and the summer is extremely hot. The herdsmen The harvest has been reduced. I really think they will come again."

"When people are hungry, they need to eat."

17-year-old Zhong Liran has sat on the throne for seven long years.Xu Shi inherited her father's prudence, coupled with the teachings of the Taifus, she did not have any grand and pioneering ambitions in politics, and she did not look like a heroic young monarch at all.

Compared with the illustrious military exploits of opening up the territory, she cares more about improving people's livelihood and bringing about people's safety.She has been on the throne for seven years, building water conservancy projects, raising funds to build roads, promoting business and enriching the people, and she has done everything well.Although there were quite a few corrupt officials, Zhong Liran turned a blind eye to the extent that he could tolerate it. Over the past few years, the state of Chu has undergone great changes, making it more and more prosperous and peaceful.

But once the war starts in the north, the government will inevitably be tense, and the bottom will be uneasy.Thinking of this, Zhong Liran became worried.

Knowing her difficulty, Gu Siyuan took her hand and rubbed it on her face, saying, "Your Majesty always has a solution to everything. The soldiers of Chu State are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of a battle. But the key is that Your Majesty wants to I don’t want to fight anymore. If I don’t want to, Your Majesty has to think about how to solve this matter.”

"I heard a proverb among the barbarians that when a friend comes, he will have meat to eat. If a wolf, tiger or leopard comes, he should be served with a sword. Do you still remember what you asked me a few years ago, Your Majesty?"

Zhong Liran frowned, subconsciously said "what?"

"It's just a matter of breaking the rope." Gu Siyuan reminded her, and said with a smile, "There are so many barbarians from the eight tribes. More than 200 years ago, the Xuan family of Lanzhou Ranch was also a member of the barbarian tribe, but now, they have all integrated into Chu. In the country, who remembers which ethnic group they are from?"

"Your Majesty, there will always be someone who agrees with you in this world. Divide and transform, and get twice the result with half the effort."

As Gu Siyuan said, he rubbed Zhong Liran's palm again, and said with a smile, "It's really a blessing for Chu to have such a compassionate monarch as His Majesty."

Zhong Liran had some thoughts in his heart, and when he heard Gu Siyuan's praise suddenly, he felt his ears burn.She pursed her lips, stretched out her hand from behind to pinch Gu Siyuan's cheek, rubbed it gently, and said in a low voice, "Gu Siyuan, I don't want to be a wise king who has been passed down through the ages, nor do I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great achievements of my ancestors. May there be peace in the world."

The prosperity of the country and the peace of the people, the peace of the world, is the vision in Zhong Liran's heart.

Gu Siyuan smiled and said to her, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After soaking in the bathtub for a while, the two got up and put on their coats.It was not evening at that time, and the scorching sun dragged its tail and slowly slid westward, and came in through the window, reflecting a radiance.Zhong Liran tied up his slightly wet long hair with a wooden hairpin, sat opposite to Gu Siyuan who was wearing a middle coat, and reviewed the memorial together.

Until the two finished their review, the setting sun had not yet completely set, but hung in the western sky, reflecting a large cloud of red.Zhong Liran looked from the window and saw the bright sunset glow on the eaves of the palace, stretched his waist, and said to Gu Siyuan, "Gu Siyuan, let's play chess with me."

Gu Siyuan's eyes lit up, he looked up at her and smiled, "Do you really want to go down?"

"Play." Zhong Liran bent his lips, ordered the servant to fetch the chessboard, and played with Gu Siyuan.

Although Zhong Liran is not good at martial arts, and she is not very good at some fun games that require luck, but the chessboard that requires careful calculation is her home field.Her chess skills were taught by Gu Siyuan, but Zhong Liran is better than Lan, and has always been able to beat Gu Siyuan by a few pieces.

It is rare for Gu Siyuan to meet a comparable opponent, so he especially likes to play chess with Zhong Liran.But Zhong Liran was busy with political affairs, and only occasionally accompanied her.Even so, Gu Siyuan would feel very happy.

The maid took the chessboard, Zhong Liran tidied up the memorial and put it aside, and said to Gu Siyuan while taking the pieces, "What if you lose?"

"One son and twelve taels," Gu Siyuan inquired.

Zhong Liran nodded and motioned to Gu Siyuan, "You go down first." After saying that, the two of you came and went, until the night fell and the sky was full of stars.

Gu Siyuan lost dozens of taels of silver, but he had a great time betting.She originally thought that Zhong Liran's leisure time was only for one day, but she never thought that in the evening of the second day, after Zhong Liran finished changing the memorial, she played a game of chess with Gu Siyuan.

After a few days like this, when Gu Siyuan was playing chess with Zhong Liran, he suddenly remembered that Zhong Liran hadn't gone to the school to practice martial arts for several days, so he asked, "Is it all right if your Majesty doesn't go to the school for a few days?"

It's a bit strange, it's not the freezing weather, nor the windy and rainy weather, but the emperor interrupted the practice in the school field, which inevitably attracted Gu Siyuan's attention.

Zhong Liran held the chess piece and put it down gently, and said coldly, "It doesn't matter. I can punch in the morning, and I also went to Zhaohui Hall, and my physical fitness has never stopped. Gu Siyuan, play faster."

"Let me think about it." Gu Siyuan pinched his hand and quickly returned his thoughts to the chessboard, staring at the intricate patterns on the chessboard in silence.

Zhong Liran had already calculated the next few steps, put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, and tentatively said, "I have time to play with you, don't you think it's good?"

I don't know if Gu Siyuan heard it clearly, but she nodded and took a step while holding the chess piece.Seeing this, Zhong Liran sighed lightly.

What a lovable nerd, Zhong Liran thought so.She thought to herself, why did she think this woman was smart and knowledgeable before? Sure enough, it was because she was young and ignorant.

Zhong Liran dropped his breath steadily, making Gu Siyuan frown and think about it again.

The surroundings were peaceful, and the late summer evening breeze came in from the window, gently playing with the roller blinds hanging on the window.Zhong Liran was playing with the chess pieces, staring at Gu Siyuan's ten-year-old face opposite him, and listening to the sound of the pieces falling from her fingertips, he felt peaceful.

Zhong Liran sat upright, his eyes never left Gu Siyuan.But when Gu Siyuan takes the next step, she can often settle immediately.Gu Siyuan, who was immersed in the chessboard, did not notice the burning gaze on the opposite side, and only focused on competing with the complicated chess game.

The cool wind blew over Zhong Liran's cheeks, and she played with the chess pieces in her hand one after another, thinking that it would be great if she could keep doing this.

She will never get tired of watching Gu Siyuan who is so serious to the point of being silly.

Chapter 37 Eight.1

Eight

The autumn rain is drizzling, fluttering and falling from the dark sky.The silky rain melted on the eaves and turned into flowing mist, shuttling through the empty palace.Following the wind, they floated on the halberds held by the golden-robed guards standing on both sides of the palace wall, and slowly sent the coolness to the chariot in the middle of the team.

Zhong Liran held an umbrella to shield Gu Siyuan from the slanting wind and drizzle, and sent Gu Siyuan to the car, and told him carefully, "When you get home, don't just read books, spend time with your parents."

It was the seventh day of August, and Gu Siyuan had just celebrated his 27th birthday, so it was a rare holiday for him to visit his relatives and go home.In the early morning of this day, Zhong Liran dispatched the guard of honor of the Golden Robe Guards to escort Gu Siyuan home.

It just happened that the first autumn rain fell, and the weather was a little bit cool. Gu Siyuan, who had exquisite makeup, was wrapped in a cloak and felt a little bit cool.She nodded, raised her hand to straighten Zhong Liran's skirt, and said with a smile, "Got it."

"I asked Lan Cai to follow you, remember to eat, don't be too late to read at night, did you hear me?"

Gu Siyuan looked up at her with gentle eyes, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm only going home for five days, and the time is not long, so I can't make a big change. Besides, there is Lan Cai following, so you don't have to worry."

Zhong Liran snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to push her, and said, "Let's go quickly, don't make your parents wait." Gu Siyuan smiled, reached out his hand to stop Zhong Liran's waist, and hugged her firmly, He said softly, "Then I will go back. I will miss Your Majesty in the few days when I go home."

Zhong Liran muttered, "I don't need you to think about it." But he raised his hand, hugged her into his arms, took a deep breath, and was not willing to let go after a while.

The two hugged each other under the umbrella, after a while Gu Siyuan raised his head from her shoulder and let go of her embrace, "Then I'll be leaving. Your Majesty, see you later."
