Xuancheng listened to what he said, and lay down obediently, "Let him in." With the creaking of the outer door, someone came in, Fu Jian put down the curtain in front of the bed, smiled and said to Xuancheng, "You Just help me, drive away this beautiful and annoying brother Baishuang."

Xuancheng listened to his sweet words, and gradually climbed up with his hand, "You,..." seemed a bit playing with fire.

----------

--------------------------

"Your Majesty." There was some dissatisfaction and shame in Bai Shuang's voice.

Fu Jian let go of Xuancheng, opened the curtains, saw Baishuang with a face full of crimson outside, and smiled mischievously, "Oh, it's the younger brother of Baishuang."

He walked down, and Bai Shuang stared at him in shock.

"I'm really sorry, Brother Wang, I already have someone tonight, thank you for your hard work, please go back, or say, Brother Wang wants to share my good night with others, so if I am willing, I am afraid that Brother Wang will be wronged. "

"you."

Bai Shuang didn't know if it was anger or what.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

Bai Shuang took a few steps back in disappointment, and pointed at Fu Jian with trembling fingers, "You are too deceitful."

He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves. Fu Jian looked at his resolutely leaving back and was in a daze for a moment. , after all, Bai Shuang is the younger brother of the king, and you don't seem to be very friendly to the younger brothers of the lord of the country."

Fu Jian put his hand on Xuancheng's shoulder, "If he came to please me for Bai Chun's benefit, he should have stayed at this moment, and he would not leave in anger because of another person in my palace. Unexpectedly, Bai Shuang really has backbone."

"What's the backbone, he's taken a fancy to you, and your love debt has come again."

Fu Jian said that Bai Shuang had no brains and was only beautiful. He was teased twice by Fu Jian, and he might give up. But Fu Jian was about to make a move for this gift, so he couldn't refuse it. Xuancheng really couldn't understand it. Fu Jian was stunned, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Actually, it's nothing for you to keep him."

Fu Jian looked at him, and finally just picked him up by the waist and put him on the bed, without continuing what happened a moment ago.

For several months, like this every night, Xuancheng's heart was restless.

Fu Jian indeed recruited important officials in the court to discuss this matter, including Prince Fu Hong, Julu Gong Fu Rui, Pingyuan Gong Fu Hui, Lu Guang, Deng Qiang, Quan Yi, Zhu Xun, Liang Cheng, Murong Wei, Murong Chui, Zhang Tianxi, Yao Chang, Yang Ding et al.

The generals all supported Fu Jian’s conquest, but none of them were pure literati. They believed that the strategy of conquering the Western Regions was more beneficial than harmful, and that pacifying the countries in the Western Regions was of strategic significance for stabilizing the northwest frontier defense of the Great Qin Dynasty. The countries in the Western Regions fell into war and brought disaster to the frontiers of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"So, do you all have no objection to my conquest of countries such as Yanqi and Kucha in the Western Regions?"

The crowd nodded.

"Then when should we discuss the next expedition?"

"The countries in the Western Regions are dry and lack water. If we go out in summer, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army, so we should march in the spring, and it will take several months for the army to enter the Western Regions." Deng Qiang analyzed the geography of the Western Regions environment, express your opinion.

"In this way, there is not much time left for us. It is already the middle and late April. We will recruit troops this month to prepare for the westward journey."

Fu Hong pondered for a while and said, "Father, my son thinks that there is no need to rush to the expedition."

Everyone turned their heads to stare at him, only to see that he looked confident, "I think that since the Kucha Kingdom has sent envoys here, it must be because they are worried about my imperial expedition to the Western Regions, and he doesn't know that your father is you?" What do you think, so he will definitely take strict precautions, and if we conscript troops to go to the Western Regions at this time, then the King of Kucha must have already made preparations for the battle. Assuming that the army departs from Chang'an in April, crosses the land of Liangzhou, and reaches the Western Regions at least It will take three months. If we don't have generals who are proficient in the national conditions of the Western Regions, it will be extremely dangerous for the army to stray into the countries of the Western Regions. My son thinks that we must prepare for the war before going out. One must have a lot of understanding of humanities and customs, and the army must be carefully selected, so it is not the best policy to go out in April."

"The prince thinks when will he go out?"

"First month." Fu Hong said the word loudly.

Everyone was puzzled for a moment.

"Does the prince mean that we should turn back the time and go back to the first month?"

Fu Hong said resolutely, "No, I mean, the first month of next year."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, even a person like Deng Qiang who had experienced battles frowned to express his bewilderment.

"The first month of next year? Prince, please tell me." Fu Jian stared at him and said.

"Father, all generals, I have just expressed my thoughts. We can't rush out, especially against some big countries in the Western Regions that none of us have fought against. The envoys sent by the Kucha Kingdom this time may become our most powerful opponents." The best weapon to deceive the Kucha Kingdom is to first agree to the request of the King of Kucha, let him think that our Great Qin will not intervene in the wars of the countries in the Western Regions and relax, and wait until our pre-war preparations are ready, and then quietly Head west and catch them off guard."

Xuancheng thought, Fu Hong really has his own unique insights, and these insights are based on the facts and reasonableness, and his insights on marching and fighting are also wise, and he can't help admiring him.

"Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries have united and wiped out more than a dozen small countries in the Western Regions. If we wait until next year to go to war, the number of small countries in the Western Regions may be reduced."

"Wars in the Western Regions are no different than sieges in the Central Plains. The countries in the Western Regions do not have strong walls, and the destruction of a country can only happen in an instant, let alone those small countries with a population of less than a thousand."

Fu Hong said, "Could it be that our Great Qin went out to save the small countries in the Western Regions? Could it be that the father wants to be the savior in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions? Since we are a big country, since we are going to fight, we should calm down the countries in the Western Regions and make them submit to our Great Qin , This is the purpose of sending troops, not for the name of a savior."

Fu Jian smiled and praised, "Okay, okay, the prince speaks boldly."

Xuan Cheng said, "Then how do we deal with Mi Can and Xiu Mi Tuo?"

"These two kings, I treat them as friendly, after all, they will be our guides on the westward journey."

Lu Guangdao, "It's not a difficult task. I have been to Yangguan and Yumenguan, and also to Gaochang. I will take care of Mi and Xiu Mitu when they are in Chang'an." Judging from what he said, he was the first I agree with Fu Hong's proposal to set off in the first month of next year.

"As for Bai Shuang, brother of the King of Kucha, Your Majesty, since Bai Chun has such sincerity, we can't refuse him. I think you should accept him and not let him leave Chang'an." Lu Guang looked at Fu Jian sincerely.

Xuancheng thought in his heart that he must sincerely want Fu Jian to accept him.

"You want me to put him under house arrest?"

Lu Guang said, "Your Majesty can do this."

Fu Hong also meant the same thing. He agreed with Lu Guang's proposal that Bai Shuang should not be allowed to be free, and he should not be allowed to see Daqin's war plan against the countries of the Western Regions, and he could not send a letter to his brother, King Qiuci.

Fu Jian thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I understand what you all mean."

The crowd dispersed, and Fu Jian left Lu Guang behind.

"You really want me to accept Bai Shuang?"

Lu Guang pondered for a while, then said, "Your minister speaks from the bottom of his heart."

Fu Jian looked at him, sighed, and patted his shoulder, "Don't embarrass yourself."

Lu Guang hesitated for a moment, but then said resolutely, "No embarrassment, as long as your Majesty is worthy of Daqin and Fu, I have nothing to say."

"Okay, just wait and see."

Lu Guang was a little puzzled, and he seemed to have a countermeasure from his tone.

Fu Jian held an unpredictable smile, "I will take care of Bai Shuang's matter, don't worry."

When Lu Guang left, he cast a deep gaze, "I hope Your Majesty will not disappoint me."

"Go back." Fu Jian watched him leave with a smile.

----------

But when Fu Jian sent someone to invite Bai Shuang, he couldn't do it anyway. Bai Shuang replied that since His Majesty King Qin didn't like him, why bother to put on airs, this really became what Fu Jian said. Backbone.

"Didn't he want to win our support for Bai Chun? How can he succeed if he doesn't pay anything?" Xuancheng said lightly, it seems that Bai Shuang's entanglement with Fu Jian has nothing to do with him, let alone to play tricks on Bai Shuang He has advised before, to pay attention to propriety.

"You seem to want him to pay something?" Fu Jian asked back.

"Of course it's his body. You know in your heart whether you have thought about it."

Fu Jian was gloomy, and Xuan Cheng was also feeling bad, always feeling that something would happen to Bai Shuang.

Fu Jian came to hold his hand, Xuan Cheng dodged it, Fu Jian came up again to force him, Xuan Cheng retreated again, the two always liked to play a game of one advance and one retreat in the palace, and in the end Fu Jian did not hold Xuan Cheng's hand, his face pulled down, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

After a long time without seeing him come back, Xuancheng wondered, "Are you really angry?"

He paced back and forth, unable to calm down, walked out of the Mingguang Hall, stood in the garden and looked around, but did not catch a glimpse of Fu Jian's figure.

"You won't really go to Bai Shuang, will you?"

Xuancheng thought for a while, since he went to look for Bai Shuang, he should go back to the mansion. Just as he was thinking, his eyes touched the shadow of Fu Jian floating over, and Fu Lang was still following him.

Xuancheng was puzzled, but Fu Lang came forward, bowed down and bowed, "I have seen the emperor."

"What are you here for?"

Fu Lang glanced at Fu Jian, Fu Jian said with a smile, "I found a good helper and asked him to invite Bai Shuang, and Bai Shuang will definitely come."

Xuancheng turned his head for a while, as if he understood that he wanted Fu Lang to invite Bai Shuang, but Fu Jian's people couldn't invite him, so could Fu Lang invite him after he went?

Fu Jian seemed to see his doubts, and said softly, "Believe in me, Bai Shuang will definitely come."

When Fu Lang left, he bowed to the two of them, and his light blue eyes remained motionless, expressing his determination.

Fu Jian said, "Maybe you really don't know, but Fu Lang's mother is from Kucha."

"What?" Xuan Cheng's eyes widened, he really didn't know.

"Fu Luo is the only one in my Fu clan who intermarried with a foreign race, and he is the No.1 intermarried with the Western Regions."

Now Zixuancheng seems to understand why Fu Lang's appearance is completely different from Fu Luo's. The Fu family has the appearance of mixed blood, and the son follows the mother. It turns out that it is really not empty talk.

"Back then, my grandfather strongly opposed him marrying a foreign woman as his wife, but Fu Luo insisted on marrying a foreign woman, which offended my grandfather. I have never been favored by my grandfather, and my father is far away from him. Do you think I am real? Are you afraid of him? It is true that he is self-respecting and does not know restraint, but the father said that a person who forgets his ancestors must be hard-hearted and will not treat his own people well, so we all alienate him , but he has never repented. Who knows, maybe God is really punishing him. Not long after Lang'er was born, his mother died. At that time, we all said that God was protecting us in the dark. The blood of the clan is against intermarriage with other races, so until now, only Lang Er of our Fu clan has integrated the blood of foreign races."

After hearing what he said, Xuancheng couldn't help sighing, "Is blood marriage really right? But that dream, my father told me it was wrong, since it was wrong, why did you marry your cousin?"

Fu Jian squeezed his hand and said, "That's right, my only regret in this life is that I can't marry you, because I became the emperor of this Great Qin."

"Stop talking about it, it's not important anymore, really."

"Lang'er will talk to Bai Shuang. I believe he will understand me. After Bai Shuang is stabilized, the troops to conquer the Western Regions will start to prepare. You and Lu Guang will do this, and you will assist him .”

Xuancheng agreed to him. Just as Fu Hong said, the soldiers who go to the Western Regions must be carefully selected. They must not only be physically strong and brave, but also have a strong mind. They must cross many deserts and arrive in a strange country. Anyone can take it.
