Great Zhou Empress

Hearing Xiao Liege say that she wanted to go back to the Liao Kingdom, Xue Zhijing suddenly felt a little flustered, she hadn't even regained her senses, she still couldn't think of why Xiao Liege would say such words.

Xue Zhijing could only helplessly press Xiao Liege's face and shoulders, "Why?"

Xiao Liege looked at her, his eyes drifted away again, "Didn't I say it, there's no reason, I just feel that it's been a long time and it's time to go home."

"Isn't where I am home?"

Xue Zhijing's words made Xiao Liege a little irritated, she scratched her head, the more itchy it became, she said angrily, "Winter is so troublesome, I only wash my hair once a month, and my head is so itchy."

Xue Zhijing didn't say anything, and raised his hand to scratch her.

After a while, Xiao Liege said, "Okay, it's not itchy anymore."

Because Xue Zhijing didn't speak any more, the whole atmosphere was somewhat dull, Xiao Liege was affected by her emotions, looked up, and saw Xue Zhijing showing a trace of innocence and helplessness which was extremely rare.

His heart skipped a beat, now, Xiao Liege was a little at a loss.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? Are you unhappy?" Xiao Liege was still not very good at coaxing people.

Xue Zhijing retreated a little in the bathtub, looked into Xiao Liege's eyes and said, "It's not that he's unhappy, it's just that he will be sad."

She let out a long breath, and tried to speak in a calm tone, "It was a surprise that you came to my side, and you never said how long you would stay, but you said you would leave, and I am very sad."

The word "sorry" is more contagious than any words, making Xiao Liege immediately plunged into a strong sense of guilt.

She tried hard to explain, "After all, we belong to two countries. I am the princess of Liao, and you are the regent of Dacheng."

"I know, I didn't expect that I have come all the way to where I am now." Xue Zhijing said, feeling even more sad in his heart.

"Actually, I don't mind our identities." Xiao Liege was also a little confused about his current feelings, "It would have been more troublesome if our two countries were fighting like a raging fire before, but now, after signing the peace treaty, the relationship between each other It's also calm. It's just that I always feel that I shouldn't be like this anymore, staying in Bianjing City."

Xue Zhijing looked at her quietly, waiting for her to say what she thought.

Xiao Liege said slowly, "Probably due to the influence of a sense of responsibility, I always feel that I should do something for the Liao Kingdom, such as inquiring about the reality of your great achievements, and deciding whether to lead troops to attack again or not. But I am very contradictory, you are the regent now, and you will be enthroned in a year, and I will fight you to death in the end. We are lovers, if I do this, what am I doing?"

Xue Zhi nodded to express his understanding.

Xiao Liege is not the kind of woman who can only live quietly in the back house. She has also been the lord of a country in culture and martial arts. Although what she loves is the life of a free princess, those responsibilities that are rooted in her bones And commitment, will still emerge at some point, affecting her.

Compared with Xue Zhijing's feelings for Dacheng, Xiao Liege's feelings for Liao Kingdom are much deeper.

Xue Zhijing cares about Dacheng because she has friends here, a culture she agrees with, and a career she wants to achieve, while Xiao Liege cares about Liao because Liao is her home and the place where she was born , is her root.

The water in the tub became a bit cold, Xiao Liege stood up and stepped out.

"Hey, forget it, I won't talk today, you are tired, let's talk tomorrow." Xiao Liege seemed a little anxious, saying it didn't make her feel better, but made her feel even more conflicted.

Xue Zhijing also stepped out, took off the big towel at the side, wrapped Xiao Liege from behind, and gently wiped off the moisture on her body.

Like a pampering habit, Xue Zhijing preferred to wipe Xiao Liege's face and body, and Xiao Liege got used to it after a long time.

In bed, close.

It was a little intense today, probably Xue Zhijing released all his sad emotions from this channel.

After fighting three times in a row, both of them got up in the middle of the night and drank a whole pot of water.

Back on the bed again, Xue Zhijing took a small towel and wiped the remaining sweat off Xiao Liege's face, Xiao Liege grabbed her hand, his eyes were shining brightly in the night.

"Are you still sad?" After the exercise, Xiao Liege's emotions had dissipated, and now only his worry and attachment to Xue Zhijing remained.

"There is still a little more, but what can I do, the sky is going to rain, my mother wants to get married, what can I do?"

Xiao Liege said with a clear mind, "Ah, you compare me to a mother who is about to get married!"

Xue Zhijing sneered when she teased her, and scratched her nose, "Yes, you are that restless woman who wants to get married, leaving me, a poor child, to eat chaff and vegetables at home, how could you do that? cruel?"

Xiao Liege saw that Xue Zhijing was still on stage, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold her face, and said pitifully, "What a poor little boy, let's go home with this princess, I still need a cup of tea in my bedroom." Maid of the water, you have a pretty face, and you are just right for this job."

Xue Zhijing patted the back of her hand angrily, "By the way, let's warm up the bed again, right?"

"Yes, if your bed is warm enough, this princess will allow you to undress this princess."

"Tsk tsk, you princess, do you still have these hobbies?"

When the two acted, the plot didn't know where it went.

At this time, Xiao Liege said, "Alright, I won't be leaving for now."

"Really?" Xue Zhijing smiled, a little in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. I'll try to stay for a while longer. Anyway, there is Xiao Derui in Shangjing. If I go back, he will definitely avoid work again. Let me help him with government affairs. As for other things, I will write to him and ask him to send a group of teenagers here to study in your Royal Comprehensive University, and then open a school in Shangjing to teach students. What our Liao country lacks is not land, but talents and culture.”

Xue Zhijing was suddenly surprised and delighted, leaned closer to Xiao Liege, leaning his forehead against the other's forehead, "I'm so happy, baby, I'm so happy."

Xue Zhijing's dependence and love for her benefited Xiao Liege very much, and her violent temper was also ironed out by her. Xiao Liege put his arms around her shoulders and muttered, "However, I am really a little bored recently. , I have watched all the repertoires of Lichun Academy. I really miss the prairie of Liao Kingdom."

Xue Zhijing felt that, as he thought, Xiao Liege did not adapt to life in Bianjing.She is a little wolf cub who grew up in the northern prairie. She can gallop on the prairie all day and night without getting tired. Now that she has come to Bianjing City, she has quietly become a city person. How can she adapt?

In addition, she has been so busy recently, and she doesn't have more time to be with her, she naturally feels uncomfortable.When people feel uncomfortable, they will think too much. No, they should think about their identities and positions.

In essence, the two of them are very similar, they are both responsible and capable people.It is okay to take a day or two of vacation, but if you stay idle for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable.

After all, Xiao Liege was finally persuaded to go to the Royal Comprehensive University, and asked her to form a polo club with interested students for physical exercise.

Well, how can a university be considered a university without clubs?

Just start with this polo club.

Xiao Liege said with special disgust, "I hate it, I have to be a teacher for others."

"It's not that my baby's riding and archery skills are superb. You have to let those students study hard here, otherwise your talent will be wasted."

"Oh! My talent is used on the battlefield."

"Yes, the foreign students from Liao Kingdom are here. Let's have a friendly match between the two countries. Can you be the host?"

Xiao Liege: "..."

Did I mean that?

……

Throughout the dynasties, land has always been a major issue.

Since the destruction of the ancient well field system, each dynasty has experienced a process from owning a lot of land until the land was gradually swallowed up by big landlords and nobles, and then the bottom peasants rose up to revolt due to lack of land.

In almost all dynasties ZTE, any action aimed at the land will cause a huge backlash.

If Xue Zhijing had decided not to touch the land a few years ago, he would not have dared to touch it when Yuan Hanzhang was in power.

But in the past few years, half of the Dacheng Dynasty has experienced wars. When Xue Zhijing was restoring and rebuilding after the war, he deliberately cleaned up the clan nobles and landlords. More than half of it has been cleaned up.

Xue Zhijing's power has also gradually increased in this time after time of wars and clean-up activities.As one grows and the other grows, she has enough confidence and ability to do the final work of land system reform.

This time, it is necessary to carry out a land inventory for the remaining people and completely change the land occupation pattern of the Dacheng Dynasty.

By spring, there had been hundreds of minor disturbances, with reports coming in almost daily.However, these small disturbances were dealt with by the imperial troops assigned by the states.

Occasionally, there would be one or two major turmoil, such as a family living together in the south of the Yangtze River, where hundreds of people rebelled, and the capital had to send imperial troops to deal with it.

Officials from all over the country are also very busy. A group of young people who got vacancies last year grew up rapidly during this land clearance activity. Their hair became white and fell out. Finally, they used the lost hair to keep their own Not easy job.

Xue Zhijing's power reached its peak during the land investigation activities.Especially after the land was redistributed to farmers who had lost or had little land, as well as the families of the Imperial Army, Xue Zhijing's position as regent was as stable as a rock.

After the new year's spring plowing ended, foreign students from Liao Kingdom came, bringing with them carloads of tuition fees.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege once quarreled over the tuition fees of foreign students.

Xiao Liege said that Xue Zhijing must be asked to provide scholarships to international students, or reduce the high tuition requirements.

Xue Zhijing said, "The people in the Liao Kingdom who can read and practice calligraphy are all nobles. Most of these foreign students should be children of noble families. You let their families pay for the tuition fees themselves. Wouldn't it be beneficial for you to waste the financial resources of the noble families? Royal rule?"

"I think you're a money addict. You're always thinking about making money. You charge too much tuition. I feel that the tuition of this one foreign student can support a hundred students from other colleges."

"Baby, knowledge is priceless. The most profound knowledge of this era is accumulated with blood and tears from generation to generation. If you want to learn, you will naturally have to pay a little for such hard work."

Seeing Xue Zhijing's upright speech, Xiao Liege was so angry that he wanted to bite her.

Of course, Xiao Liege really jumped on her and bit her.

Then, they engage in another intense battle that will last for several hours.

This time, the Liao Kingdom sent 160 teenagers, but none of them were girls.Xue Zhijing asked Xiao Liege, Xiao Liege said, it is estimated that each noble family selected them themselves, these young men came with missions, how could they choose women.

Xiao Liege asked Xue Zhijing, "Aren't you afraid that they are here to spy on the military?"

Xue Zhijing said, "Don't be afraid. First of all, the core military technology requires the collective wisdom of many people to create and develop. The dynasty built is a country that develops in all aspects, and it cannot be easily defeated by knowing the situation. Besides, you are the person who can spy on the military situation the most, so why should I worry about them?"

"Okay, your mind is wider than the grassland."

Holding Xiao Liege's shoulders and leaning closer, he said, "Why, fell in love with me again?"

"Get up, your face is quite big."

Although he said disgusting words, Xiao Liege's eyes were full of flirting and cursing between lovers.

Xue Zhijing didn't expect that his rational plan would be interpreted as broad-minded by Xiao Liege.

What she is actually using is the conspiracy of education to change people's hearts. International students accept Dacheng's cultural immersion, and they must more or less agree with Dacheng, and they will not fight with Dacheng like enemies in the future.

But this idea, it's better not to tell Xiao Liege, otherwise she probably will come up to bite someone again.

International students were arranged into different colleges according to their preferences, and some of them needed to attend preparatory courses because of their poor ability.

There is no way, the overall cultural level of the Liao Kingdom is relatively low, and the first batch of foreign students who came over were Khitan ethnicity, with high horseback archery and high force value, but lower cultural level.

Thinking back to when Xiao Liege first came to power, he had to find time every day to study all kinds of articles and classics, and learn the way of governing the country from them, otherwise it would be really hard to govern the vast Han area.She is still royalty.

Xiao Liege met those foreign students, and naturally some of them had met her before. Xiao Liege told them not to call herself a princess here, let them call Mr. Xiao.

Xue Zhijing is not worried about Xiao Liege's identity being exposed. If anyone wants to use this to criticize her, such as questioning her collaborating with the enemy, they might have been a little worried before, but at this time, such criticisms are no longer successful. .

However, not putting Xiao Liege's identity on the surface is also to avoid trouble.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege rode horses and led a group of guards back to the city from the Royal Comprehensive University.

Xue Zhijing regarded this period of time as their dating time.

Chatting, but also talk about their own plans.

"I'm thinking, build a city on the border of Xiongzhou, which can be regarded as a companion capital, and I will live there in the future."

"Don't you all like a capital city?"

The reason why Xiao Liege said that was because the Liao Kingdom had five capitals, but their capital was not the place where the emperor stayed all year round, the royal court wandered on the grassland all year round, and occasionally lived in the upper capital.

Xue Zhijing smiled, "You will also feel homesick. After living in the Central Plains for a long time, you will not be used to it. The company is at the border, and two steps away is the territory of your Liao Kingdom. You want to go to the grassland for horse racing. It's only a day or two away."

Xiao Liege's heart was full of sweetness, but he said on his mouth, "Hey, do you want to build a bridgehead? Ready to attack our Liao Kingdom at any time."

Xue Zhijing gave her a blank look, "Then you are also building a city on the border, and we all build bridgeheads, isn't that fair?"

Xiao Liege looked at her strangely, "And when you are free, fight a war at any time?"

"Yes, you can fight anytime."

Hearing Xue Zhijing's words, Xiao Liege didn't know where to go, his ears turned red, Xue Zhijing saw it, and smiled narrowly, "What are you thinking, why are you blushing?"

"hot!"
