Chang Polang and the other three were a little surprised.
They originally just wanted to test Liang Xiao's attitude.
As a result, Liang Xiao actually hoped that they would support Dazhou in going north to attack Beihu.
"Marquis Lanling hopes to sweep Beihu Liting's acupoint?" Lin Shi became interested.
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "Then we will establish counties and counties, and they will be included in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty from now on."
"Time?" Lin Shi asked confused.
"Within five years!" Liang Xiao said without thinking.
Lin Shi asked again: "How can Marquis Lanling prove that the imperial court will definitely go north to capture the prisoners, and not just go through the motions?"
Chang Polang and Wang Pojun also stared at Liang Xiao, hoping to get a satisfactory reply.
Liang Xiao asked back: "Then do you think that, as the emperor's celebrity and the only child of the Lanling Marquis Mansion, I will go to work in other places before next winter to guard the border for the Zhou Dynasty, and I have been ordered to select the Liang family army. Can you prove it?"
The two of them were stunned and looked at Lin Shi with horror in their hearts.
Did this kid really get it right?
Nowadays, only the empress and one princess remain in the royal family. Everyone believes that Liang Xiao is likely to become the Prince Consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Why should such a popular person like the emperor go to work in other places?
Lin Shidao: "If this is the case, we look forward to fighting side by side with Marquis Lanling in the future!"
Liang Xiao happily agreed, and everyone drank and drank.
After the banquet was over and Lin Shi and the other three left, Gu Pingxiu said displeasedly: "Master Hou, Guan Long and these people have become a climate..."
Liang Xiao smiled and comforted.
"It is necessary to distinguish the primary and secondary conflicts. At the moment, the court needs to suppress the aristocratic families and regain power, and also fight against Beihu. Guanlong has available soldiers. If they know the current situation, when the Zhou Dynasty becomes strong in the future, I will have a way to make them submit to the court and return the military power. . If they don't know what they are looking for, I have a way to catch them all. In short, we should appease Guan Long first, but we must avoid raising tigers to cause trouble."
"In fact, what they want is nothing more than to have a certain say in the court. But a stable country can neither integrate military and political affairs, nor can it advocate culture and suppress military force. It needs a certain balance. Forging iron must be hard, and the Great Zhou Dynasty It has to be strong enough.”
Gu Pingxiu finally felt at ease, and Liang Xiao sent him back to the palace to report.
After Guan Long and the others returned to the inn, they felt quite complicated.
Wang Pojun sighed: "Originally, we were entrusted by our elders to come to the court to find out the court's attitude. If the court remains unchanged, we can stop thinking about it... Will the Marquis of Lanling really go to Yanzhou?"
"The people of Yanzhou are fierce, and it is a military town directly facing Beihu. If he has confidence in himself, he must be in Yanzhou, otherwise he will be a fool!" Lin Shi said firmly.
Chang Polang sighed: "What happened here is that we should go back."
The Guanlong nobles stayed in the capital for several months and finally left.
After Zhuge Hui understood the situation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Right now, we should indeed appease the various places in Guanlong and concentrate on consolidating national defense and training the army. If these aristocratic families can be more loyal, Your Majesty won't have to spend so much time..."
As he spoke, Zhuge Hui couldn't help but secretly hate him.
These big aristocratic families have brought too much pressure and trouble to Dazhou.
Guanlonghui's current situation is also inseparable from the exclusion of aristocratic families.
If the Guanlong nobles rebelled, Dazhou would be able to dispatch troops to annihilate them, but their vitality would be severely damaged. The whole body would be affected by the slightest move, and Beihu would definitely take the opportunity to go south.
Moreover, these Guanlong nobles are relatively radical, but there is no clear rebellion yet, so there is no need to force them to rebel.
In the imperial study room.
Duan Yunyi looked worried after listening to Gu Pingxiu's report.
"Liang Aiqing, is he really determined to go to Yanzhou..."
Gu Pingxiu said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis said that Yanzhou cannot tolerate any loss. He hopes that before he leaves office, he can leave an invincible army to Yanzhou!"
Duan Yunyi nodded silently and said no more.
What she is worried about now is Duan Yunxiu.
In the West Palace Villa, the female imperial physician Huang Ying took Duan Yunxiu’s pulse and said, “There are no signs of childbirth yet…”
Duan Yunxiu curled his lips, looking disappointed.
Several female doctors have diagnosed her. She has symptoms of mild uterine cold, is not easy to get pregnant, and needs to be treated slowly.
"The symptoms are not serious. It's not impossible if His Highness and Marquis Lanling work harder."
Huang Ying's words made Duan Yunxiu a little messy.
Work harder...
But soon, Duan Yunxiu's eyes became firmer.
Zhuge Hui's worries are not unreasonable.
If something happened to one of her or Liang Xiao, at least they could leave an heir and a thought for each other.
It will be New Year in a few days, and she will be one year older.
In the Lanling Hou Mansion, Duan Yunxiu nestled in Liang Xiao's arms and read the financial report with him.
How dare she see her imperial sister these days!
Of course, her imperial sister was too embarrassed to come to see him these days. In the past, she would often come to coax him to sleep.
Now, Liang Xiao coaxes her to sleep...
However, after she took the initiative to confess to Liang Xiao, she finally kept the hundreds of whips stored in the cabinet.
Those whips were the hard work of her and her two sisters!
"Brother Xiao, the imperial doctor said that I have a slight uterine cold and it may not be so easy to get pregnant..."
Duan Yunxiu thought of something, blushed and spoke.
Liang Xiao's expression changed and he hugged her tightly: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's just that the imperial doctor suggested that we work harder..." Duan Yun's sleeves sounded like mosquitoes.
Liang Xiao laughed dumbly.
"Then let's work harder and follow the doctor's orders!"
Duan Yunxiu was so ashamed that she buried her head in Liang Xiao's arms and did not dare to say a word.
"brat?"
It wasn't until he heard Liang Xiao's call that Duan Yunxiu responded with a voice that almost only he could hear.
"Hmm~"
"I will take the initiative in the future. In short, I will promise you anything."
Hearing Liang Xiao's vow, Duan Yunxiu felt happy and agreed softly.
"The first day of the first lunar month is our birthday?" Liang Xiao said happily.
Duan Yunxiu said "hmm" and his heart became sweeter.
She only recently found out that she was just one year younger than Liang Xiao, and her birthdays were both on the first day of the first lunar month, and even the time was similar.
But when he thought that Liang Xiao was born without a father, and later lost his mother, Duan Yunxiu couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and looked up at him.
Seeing that he was still reading the financial report with a smile on his face, Duan Yunxiu was fascinated.
I also have to protect him, at least not to cause any trouble for him...
"Little one, I want to give you a gift for this New Year."
Duan Yunxiu was deeply moved by Liang Xiao's words and said: "Brother Xiao is the best gift God has given me~"
"Wow, you actually turned into a husband! I'm so angry! I will surrender to my husband tonight, you monster!" Liang Xiao finally found an excuse.
"ah?"
By the time Duan Yunxiu came to his senses, he was already being carried away by Liang Xiao with a red face...
Deep in the inn, Jibei Youqi's "shadow" and Long Wushuang's stand-in were waiting for news in the secret room.
After a while, the wooden door opened, and a person walked in, sighing: "Master Lin said, Guan Long may not be able to support us at the moment..."
Yingpai stood up and said angrily: "What good is this kind of weak and incompetent court? Even if they are unwilling to support our army, why are they unwilling to stand on their own and compete with others!"
"Do we have to push our army to those aristocratic families, or even to Beihu?"
