Chapter 325 Night Interview with the Empress
Pa!
Without even a moment of freeing herself from Qin Lang's trotters, the empress slammed the book on the table with the word "urgent" written on it.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Lang frowned, and the empress' big hand that she had just waved her pink fist for several times without breaking it was taken back consciously:
"Anything else?"
"Yes."
Su Yupan took a long breath and felt strange for a moment.
......
She was a little unreal, because she never thought that one day she would think of another person immediately when encountering a major event in her family and country.
Even though this person is not an important minister of the country, and is even a rebellious minister, the first time Su Yupan received this urgent information today, he wanted him to be by his side, as if as long as he was by his side, he would feel at ease inexplicably. .
Was it like this before...?
It seems not.
It’s not that Su Yupan has become squeamish.
But the former Su Yupan, at this time, always had an empty space in his heart.
Now it's just because of Qin Lang's existence that she can make up for this.
Su Yupan felt that perhaps throughout history, the kings, even the emperors who were also empresses, would not be like her.
Hmm...
It seems to be another strong example that I am not suitable to be an emperor...
...
"The news this time is coming from the direction of Yizhou."
Su Yupan continued, and Qin Lang's eyes lit up:
"Yizhou?"
"Yeah..."
Su Yupan glanced at Qin Lang and felt that his eyes were not only bright, but his voice was probably a bit louder, so he let out an imperceptible snort from the tip of his nose. , as if nothing had happened, he took the book Qin Lang was about to open and moved it towards him.
"?"
"I haven't said anything yet. Hey, why are you more anxious than me?"
"Well...I'm not worried about you for the baby, let alone national affairs. , Every man has the responsibility, Qin, as a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty..."
"When did you, a Tianshan barbarian, become my citizen of the Zhou Dynasty?"
"? >
Qin Lang stared blankly, and while his mind was turning, he heard Su Yupan snort softly and coldly:
"When it comes to Yizhou, it's like a monkey seeing a peach... ha, It's not enough to hold the older one in my arms, I'm still thinking about the younger one..."
"..."
Qin Lang is not stupid either, of course he understands what he should understand.
The "old" is nothing more than Zhuo Beibei, and the "young" is Nan Lingyue.
The facts are indeed as the empress said. When Qin Lang talks about Yizhou, what he thinks of is the girl with some quirks and quirks who always misses him.
"Baby, what are you talking about? Be careful with your words and deeds. You call Beibei 'old'. If she finds out, the palms and backs of her hands will be full of flesh. It will be difficult for me to intercede for you."
"Let's just say it, how about it? She is the senior sister, and I am still the emperor."
Su Yupan is not the princess after all. As a noble of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, after the Dragon Boat Festival night, now In any case, it can be regarded as "standing up". When facing Third Senior Sister, you can't remain as submissive as before. Sometimes...especially when Zhuo Beibei is not around, you can hold your head higher than before.
"Besides, she is your senior sister, but I am not your senior sister?"
"Yes, yes, yes... Senior sister, baby, let's get down to business. What's going on in Yizhou? What's the news? Could it be that something happened to Tianhe Sect?"
"..."
Tsk, I really have Xiao Xiao on my mind.
Su Yupan complained that he looked like a pig head, but when he thought about it, if he was not a pig head, how would he have a chance...
Tsk, forget it.
Really, why are you thinking about all this nonsense when you have nothing to do?
The empress felt a little regretful. It was okay if she didn’t think about it too much. But when she thought about it too much, she felt sour in her heart for no reason.
“Rebel.”
Su Yupan threw the booklet towards Qin Lang:
“Read it for yourself.”
Qin Lang caught it and after flipping it over for a while, the relaxed mood he felt when he came also sank slightly.
"Yinzhu, Ur, and Tuoshan are making trouble at the border...At this time, the three Southwest Fan states are doing this at the same time. Baby, do you think they are in cahoots with Beili?"
"Yeah ."
Su Yupan nodded slightly:
"That's what I guessed, and most of the people in the DPRK thought so too, and although the southwest countries often harassed Yizhou before it was pacified, But every time, they usually directly raise their troops to invade. If the kings didn’t agree behind the scenes, their behavior would be no different from banditry, but this time..."
Su Yupan lowered his eyelids and flipped through the booklet again with Qin Lang:
"...This time they seemed to suddenly become smarter, so they asked some soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people and use some rocks and hoes. Things are harassing the people on the border of Yizhou. If they don't raise troops, it will also make it difficult for us to mobilize troops. Although there is no evidence for the time being, I still suspect that there is someone behind their trip... What do you think, Qin Lang? "
"At this stage, it is always right to be cautious and skeptical. "
... Although the empress is not really that demanding of her man, she must let a young man. Like a court official, he put forward constructive opinions on family and national affairs, but what surprised Su Yupan was that Qin Lang's attitude towards this matter was not only the same as his own, but even more "extreme".
...
"Baby, what did you mean when you just said that when foreign countries invaded the border, we couldn't mobilize troops?"
"Huh? It's just that...the southwest border has been pacified for many years, and now they We don't know how to use the country's force brazenly. If we send troops there without authorization, wouldn't it be a little unreasonable, so..."
"No"
Qin Lang shook his head and interrupted Su Yupan. ：
"Baby, just tell me, if we don't take into account the unknown divisions, should we send troops or not send troops? No matter how big or small a war is, it involves the consideration of comprehensive elements in all aspects of the country. I am sure in this regard You don’t understand.”
The empress thought for a moment and said decisively:
“Of course it is best to send troops, but again, it is against the rules to send troops like this. If we do it without authorization, ..."
"Baby, I want to ask something. I have no other meaning. I hope you don't think about it too much."
"Well, you ask."
"What would the late emperor do in this situation?"
"He..."
Su Yupan was thinking much faster than before:
"He We will definitely send troops.”
Qin Lang pondered slightly:
"Actually, I may have the same idea as the late emperor."
"Why?"
"How should I put it..."
Qin Lang thought for a while:
“Baby, I don’t know how to govern the country, so I can only express some personal opinions for reference only. I think it is necessary to follow the rules. Following the rules is a manifestation of civilization, but this is limited to us. A country like the Zhou Dynasty has been talking about civilization for many years. Is Southwest Fanzhou a country that talks about civilization? ”
Qin Lang paused:
“It’s hard to explain why a scholar encounters soldiers, let alone between countries?”
Qin Lang’s meaning is very clear. Instead of playing the harp to a cow, To be honest, giving a cow a few whips is useful.
The empress was not ignorant of this truth, and there were originally some ministers in the court who advocated sending troops directly to teach the southwestern countries that were about to take action, but Su Yupan also considered some longer-term issues:
"Since the first year of Zhaoguan, the Great Zhou Dynasty has also successively made friends with some distant states further west of the Tianshan Mountains, and they have friendly exchanges with each other. Some even took the initiative to pay tribute to Zhou in order to seek trade and military protection. In this way There will definitely be more situations in the future. If we respond strongly to our southwest neighbors this time, what if in the future..."
"Baby, actually this is the same thing as what I just said."
Qin Lang pulled Su Yupan's hand:
"My core attitude is that it's okay now, In the future, try not to overestimate other countries in the world, and don’t imagine them according to our civilization standards. Is it possible that other countries in the world are still in a more barbaric state, and believe in the law of the jungle? In that way, our toughness towards our neighbors will not have a negative impact on other countries, but will actually make them more submissive."
After Qin Lang made this point, he did not say anything more after that. Su Yupan was thinking about various things.
As Qin Lang said, she knows much more about Dazhou's situation than Qin Lang, and it is much more comprehensive, so in the end it is up to her to decide these things.
After half an hour of flipping through the files and closing her eyes to consider, Su Yupan began to stare at Qin Lang for a long time. After staring at Qin Lang for a long time and making Qin Lang panic, the empress finally seemed to understand. Si Di said:
"Don't tell me, some of your words really sound like the late emperor."
"Then you...have you made a decision?"
" Yes, I won’t tell you.”
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t tell you. The main thing is...hey...”
Qin Lang rubbed his hands:
"Baby, you summoned me late at night, do you have... anything else?"
The empress narrowed her beautiful eyes warily:
"What do you mean..."
"Uh...I don't mean anything at all. It's just that...I'm already here, and I kind of want to commit the crime...cough..."
Qin Lang was a bit embarrassed to speak out because of his thick face, but when he looked at the empress, he saw that although her pretty face was deliberately stern, her eyes were filled with a smile that was partly angry, partly ashamed, and a pair of black eyes. The silk and jade feet had quietly slipped out of the embroidered shoes, and were gently touching Qin Lang's calf intentionally or unintentionally.
"Bold Qin Lang, you...do you want to do something treacherous to me?!"
"..."
Qin Lang's throat moved, and on the one hand, he was fragrant. The fragrance of her feet went straight to the tip of her nose. On the other hand, she looked at Su Yupan's pretending to be embarrassed and flustered. He just thought that the women around him seemed to be getting better and better these days, and in the end, he held the empress's hand unceremoniously. Yuzu, pounced on it like a hungry wolf.
……
"Uh...Your Majesty, I have a request."
"Say..."
"Can you ask Your Majesty to put on the dragon robe, but...but there is nothing inside the dragon robe except stockings?" Can you wear it? "
"..."
"Your Majesty?"
"Rebel...I believe you are..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Well, Your Majesty, I have one more request. You see, the Golden Palace is closed now, and there is no one on the dragon throne. Otherwise...hiss ! No, no, no! I’ll just say it! It’s fine like this, fine... By the way, baby, put your hair up first..."
