Yelu Xiuge led his army to Jinyang and heard that the Zhou army had retreated to Liaozhou. The Northern Han Kingdom did not allow the Liao army to settle in Jinyang City. When the transfer of food and supplies was carried out, chaos occurred again, resulting in some people and horses of the Liao army short of food and grass. So they robbed the Jinyang Plain, and the Northern Han people complained.

The Jinyang court sent officials to the Liao army camp to negotiate, demanding that the Liao army stop looting the area and drive Liaozhou to advance and retreat to the Zhou army stationed there.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Xiuge was furious and said in public: "The Great Liao warriors are skilled in bowing and horses, brave and good at fighting, just like a sharp blade. Have you ever seen anyone chopping bricks with a sharp knife?"

Then he refused the Northern Han Dynasty's request to attack Liaozhou, and proposed to attack Liaozhou with the Northern Han army as the main force. The Great Liao army was only on the side to guard against the Zhou army from the city to counterattack. But if the Northern Han Dynasty had the strength to attack heavily guarded cities, why not fight with the Zhou army in field before?

...

Guo Shaozheng, Tokyo, said: "The ancestors of the Han family were martial and orderly. As long as our clan worked hard to govern, they would be able to restore the style of the Han and Tang dynasties. Why should we be afraid of the Liao Kingdom?"

Fu Jinzhan was sitting opposite Guo Shao, and she said soothingly: "Your Majesty can see the long term and will be able to fulfill your wish."

When she said these words of encouragement, she looked gentle and friendly. Her temperament was very subtle, making people feel like a spring breeze. She was like a woman full of love, placing expectations and happy for the people she was close to. Guo Shao felt both high-spirited and no sense of oppression, and was very comfortable and warm.

But after Fu Jinzhan finished speaking, she inadvertently showed a little depression between her eyebrows, and that expression seemed to be escaping, alienating, with a little helplessness.

Guo Shao's heart was turbulent in her mood, and finally asked what she had endured for more than a month: "When King Wei entered the palace, did he say anything to Jinzhan?"

Jinzhan's expression was immediately a little panicked, and then he said seriously: "What can my father say in front of me?"

"But..." Guo Shao always felt something was wrong. The man was not particularly careless. As long as he was extra focused on a person, he would have various intuitions.

Jinzhan's eyes flowed on Guo Shao's face, like the light of the dawn shining on his face, or like the light with a very short wavelength that could penetrate his surface, making Guo Shao a little nervous. Fu Jinzhan whispered: "Even if you didn't say anything, we don't need to say anything, we know it in our hearts."

Guo Shao opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. He felt that there was no need to worry about the relationship between the two. It was just that the relationship between them had reached a certain level. Is there anything wrong? But by saying it now, it just doesn't make sense.

Fu Jinzhan said quietly again: "I don't mean to blame you, and I can't blame you. It's your affection and my wish. But in this open and upright place, how can we defend ourselves in front of our father and brother? We should pay more attention to our scrupulousness in the future and must not confirm it... Otherwise, there is really no explanation."

In Guo Shao's eyes, Fu Jinzhan is better than her brother Fu Zhaoxu and even the King of Wei, regardless of wisdom or means, but she is still a woman and has a place in the family. She is restricted and constrained and difficult to surpass her father and brother.

Guo Shao pondered carefully for a long time before speaking: "I never felt that we did anything wrong, but what Jinzhan said was nothing wrong."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan looked at him with interest. She was a woman who would be affected by various emotions, but she was not the kind of person who could not resolve it at all.

Guo Shao pondered: "You are right... I have also thought about such affection carefully. At first, I might still feel good, fresh, exciting, tempting, and full of enthusiasm. But after a long time, it can only hide in the corner and cannot stand it. I may not be affected too much, because I have other wives and concubines, but for women, it is the abyss, the dark alley without sunshine and future, full of all kinds of dangers and worries..."

"Oh!" Fu Jinzhan shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I have no future anyway, so Brother Shao doesn't need to feel guilty."

Guo Shao widened his eyes and said seriously: "How about we try to walk from the corner to an open place?"

Fu Jinzhan was stunned for a moment and looked at his face: "I know what you mean, and what method you think of... If this can make you more ambitious, why don't you try it."

"Don't want to Jinzhang?" Guo Shao asked.

Fu Jinzhan said calmly: "I am really so important to you now? There are so many beautiful people in the palace."

Guo Shao said: "Is the jinn important to me? Have you not believed it after so many things?"

Fu Jinzhan's smooth cheeks suddenly appeared a hint of blush, which was even more beautiful than the sunset in the sky at this time.

Guo Shao patiently persuaded him: "I read Taoist books recently. I am so proud of my feelings and Tao follows nature. We don't have to be too attached to worldly right and wrong, we have to forgive ourselves and be open-minded."

"Well..." Fu Jinzhan thought.

Guo Shao's voice gradually became low. Perhaps he was busy all day and was a little tired in the evening. He seemed to murmur: "In the westernmost place, even west than Persia, there is a saying that people there are not the original nature of human beings, but that the world is evil and all sins. However, because the gods are kind, they bear sins on the world and forgive people's sins... According to this statement, even God has not forgiven the sins of mortals. Why can't we forgive ourselves?"

Fu Jinzhan smiled after hearing this: "I think you really... probably the one who speaks in front of me is only Brother Shao in this world."

Guo Shao also smiled and said, "Are you in a better mood?"

"Mood..." Fu Jinzhan smiled, "A very interesting word, of course it's better."

"Just let go. From the beginning, I appeared in Jinzhan's sight. My original intention was not to bring you sorrow." Guo Shao said.

Fu Jinzhan put away her usual dignity and grandeur, but sat with her head down and silently met her.

Guo Shao said at this time: "I have been an emperor for several months and have been in the palace all day long. Judging from the situation, it is time to lead troops out to exercise my muscles. I am a martial artist, and I still can't leave it completely. I have a plan... When I personally fight, Jinzhan will move to Jinxiang Hall to handle memorials and government affairs for me."

Fu Jinzhan was slightly surprised: "Is it appropriate for me to blatantly interfere in the government affairs?"

"What is the identity?" Guo Shao said, "The Empress, the Empress, the elder sister of the Empress of this dynasty, has a title of honor. Moreover, Jinzhan was once regent, familiar with government affairs, had a qualification to convince the public, and had a high prestige in the imperial guards. I don't think it's wrong."

Fu Jinzhan pondered seriously.
