Great Zhou Empress

Yuan Jin received the news from Xue Zhijing's little assistant, and hurriedly sent a student from the military academy to pass the news to the Marine Corps at sea, while she greeted all the generals of the imperial army to prepare for the battle.

Early the next morning, Xue Zhijing got up from the bed comfortably, and a female slave brought her clean water to keep her clean.

Xue Zhijing saw that they were still acquaintances. Wasn't this the group of female slaves around Xiao Liege when she was in Liao Kingdom, and he became very familiar with them.

The female slaves also chatted with Xue Zhijing as if they were meeting old friends. After all, if they were Dacheng people, they should have some hatred towards the Liao people, but the female slaves of the Liao Kingdom did not hate Xue Zhijing, a Dacheng envoy. It is interesting, after all, Liao is the aggressor.

"Xiao Jing, you don't even know how hard our princess has been in the year you were away. From time to time when we see her, we have to take out the letter you left when you left, and sometimes look at it. Look, we haven't spoken for a long time, and we dare not come in to serve."

"A lot of things have happened this year. The princess is spinning like a top. She can't eat well, and she can't sleep well."

"Because of occupying the North Central Plains area, the nobles are all arguing. I have seen the princess throwing cups and throwing daggers with the nobles."

"In fact, life in the grassland is so good. Everyone's grassland has been fixed, and the fiefs of the nobles are those, so we don't have to quarrel every day."

Disturbed?

Xue Zhijing hurriedly asked them why the quarrel broke out, and the female slaves didn't think it was any secret, so they told her.

Xue Zhijing suddenly had a bottom line in his heart.

In fact, it is very simple. It is easy to conquer the world and difficult to sit in the world, not to mention the tribal alliance-based national system of the Liao Kingdom.When they laid down a large piece of rich land in a short period of time, they first had to face internal problems.

Xiao Liege must also have a headache.

This should be the breaking point.

Xue Zhijing didn't care about the many, surrounded by female slaves, he went straight to Xiao Liege's king's tent.

She is going to have breakfast.

As soon as she entered Xiao Liege's tent, she saw the female slaves bringing in breakfast, she didn't need Xiao Liege to greet her, she sat down by herself.

Xiao Liege saw Xue Zhijing enter the tent, saw her sit down, and beckoned the female slaves to pour her goat milk. He was angry all night, and finally calmed down. Now he came up again.

She said to Xue Zhijing with a bulging face, "I didn't invite you to dinner."

Xue Zhijing took a sip of the warm goat's milk, pouted his lips, and looked at Xiao Liege with a smile, "I missed you, so I came here uninvited."

None of the surrounding female slaves knew about the relationship between the two of them before, but they all exchanged glances at this time, pretending not to hear.

Xiao Liege sat down awkwardly, but his face was still stinky, and he said angrily, "Aren't you a foreign minister? Isn't it impolite to come uninvited? That's what you do for a long time."

Although she always had such an ugly mouth, she still had a little bit of happiness in her heart. It had been a long time since she had seen Zhijing Xue at breakfast. Became her happiest time.

"This is the ceremony. The foreign minister wants to take advantage of the princess's breakfast to have a chat with the princess." Xue Zhijing smiled and said, as if she really thought so.

Xiao Liege gave her a bitter look, "It's breakfast time, don't talk about work."

Xue Zhijing saw her pouted, like a proud child, knowing that the most precious child in his heart was still there, so he was confident.

At this point, Xue Zhijing suddenly had some extravagant thoughts, could she have a little future possibility with Xiao Liege?

If the peace talks are successful, the economic cooperation between the two countries will be deepened in the future, and the trade barriers between the two countries will be broken. Can I go back and forth between the two countries, at least half of the time in a year can be with her.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhijing was quite excited. After all, she is not a wooden person, and she always hopes to stay with her lover forever. The harder and more tiring the work, the stronger this feeling.

Hey, people, they all have to look forward to Shu.

The two ate breakfast quietly.

Xue Zhijing was still the same as before, cutting meat for Xiao Liege and putting it on the plate in front of her.

Xiao Liege wanted to scold her a few words, for example, why don't you cut it for me, but she swallowed the words back, who told her to lose her temper when she saw Xue Zhijing's smiling face.

I'm so mad~

When can we get back to the field?

I feel weak every time I am in front of Xue Zhijing, I am obviously the domineering princess regent.

Xue Zhijing: "Come on, darling, eat some vegetables, you still don't like vegetables so much~ It's easy to be constipated if you don't eat vegetables."

Xiao Liege: "..."

A chopstick of Chinese cabbage was caught on Xiao Liege's plate, Xiao Liege picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and grinded the cabbage hard like Xue Zhijing.

Xue Zhijing reckoned that Xiao Liege's eyes that looked at her bitterly were full of affection, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After eating and drinking milk tea, Xue Zhijing finally asked, "Honey, what do you think of my proposal yesterday?"

Logically speaking, Xiao Liege shouldn't have asked Xue Zhijing to call her baby, as their relationship is not that close anymore.

But that long-lost sweetness made her not veto Xue Zhijing, as if she had never heard Xue Zhijing call her that.

Xue Zhijing didn't hear Xiao Liege's response, so he said to himself, "Honey, we all know that to rule the Central Plains is a very delicate job, and the Liao Kingdom is one country with multiple governances, and it is so easy to occupy the north. In the Central Plains region, your ruling core should be unstable now."

When it came to government affairs, the princess regent came back again. She looked at Xue Zhijing, but still didn't speak.

"My core is not stable. If my marines enter the hinterland of your Liao country, how do I feel that Dacheng may annex your Liao country?"

"How is it possible?" Xiao Liege sneered, shaking his head, "You think too much."

Xue Zhijing smiled brightly, "This is also a possibility that I suddenly thought of when I was eating just now, and it is not impossible now that I think about it, you don't know, I have an engineering school in my hand, and there are new ones almost every month. The weapons are improved or invented, you should have received the news, the Marine Corps is equipped with a series of advanced weapons from the engineering school."

Xiao Liege naturally also thought of the news he had received before, that from a long distance away, the marines' ships burned down their seaside city with long-range weapons.

Immediately, his face changed a little.

"However, baby, you also know me. I hate wars the most, and I don't even see things like severed limbs. I will definitely use economics and trade to resolve disputes. So I propose My suggestion is to open economic cooperation between the two countries in an all-round way. After all, what everyone wants is to have pepper after eating mutton, to drink milk tea after eating mutton, to wear satin clothes when going out, and to have a convenient plow for farming.”

"How do you want to cooperate economically?"

Xue Zhijing took a sip of milk tea and smiled, "Let's start with increasing market trade, we can discuss one by one."

For Xue Zhijing, economics and trade are her old profession. She has thought about it thoroughly this year. , They all said that the benefits that the Liao Kingdom could get were heaven and earth.

Xiao Liege listened, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be very eager, "How can you guarantee that these things can be done? You Han people have always said one thing and done another, I don't believe it."

Xue Zhijing's hand had already stretched out, and as soon as he grasped Xiao Liege's hand, Xiao Liege struggled subconsciously, but was held tightly by Xue Zhijing again, and this time she took advantage of the situation to let him hold it.

Looking at the hands of the two, Xiao Liege began to feel wronged again.

"Then, do you believe me?"

Xiao Liege said awkwardly, "You are the most untrustworthy, the guy who just walks away."

Hearing Xiao Liege's words, Xue Zhijing was stunned immediately, this was the only thing Xiao Liege said about the relationship between the two of them since this meeting.Xue Zhijing didn't know that in Xiao Liege's heart, she was so wronged.

Finally, Xue Zhijing felt guilty.

When she was making a choice between love and career, she chose career, which ultimately hurt her lover.

Xue Zhijing picked up Xiao Liege's hand, gently placed it on his cheek, and rubbed it, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you sad, if you want me to make it up to you, I can. "

There was a strong affection in Xue Zhijing's eyes, which made Xiao Liege unconsciously want to get closer.

It seems to have forgotten everything around.

But suddenly, Xiao Liege woke up with a start, and pulled his hand out of the opponent's.

"Commander Xue, please respect yourself."

When meeting with the nobles of the entire Liao Kingdom for peace talks, the nobles were really arguing.Xue Zhijing thought in a daze that he had entered a vegetable market in his previous life, the noise was so polluted that he couldn't hear everyone's words clearly.

Sometimes she distractedly looked at Xiao Liege who was sitting on the high seat, and saw her drinking milk tea, as if she was relaxing.

The nobles didn't agree with Xue Zhijing's proposal at all, they just thought it was some kind of shit, why should they go back to the country they occupied by beating their lives to death, what, can time turn back?

With such a large land, not to mention being used as a pasture, it is enough to grow grain to fill their warehouses.

A group of nobles have been completely attracted by the Central Plains and don't want to go back to the grassland.

But the Khitans who don’t go back to the grasslands are still Khitans?

The ancestors of the Xiao family of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom saw it much more clearly than they did, otherwise they would have had the chance to destroy Dacheng 200 years ago, why didn't they?

If Dacheng is destroyed, there will be no Khitan left, only a larger Han nationality.

Throughout the ages, none of the nomadic peoples who have ruled the Central Plains has not integrated into the culture of the Central Plains. The Empress Dowager Yuan Hanzhang of the Dacheng Dynasty and their Yuan family, their ancestors are the Xianbei people on the grasslands, and they have the same origin as the Khitan.

This is the power of culture.

Seeing a group of people arguing dryly, Xiao Liege asked the female slaves to bring milk tea to calm everyone down.

"Commander Xue," Xiao Liege said, "I think our peace talks have to be discussed slowly. It happens that our two armies are on both sides of the Huai River. Why don't we have a competition together, riding horses, archery and wrestling."
