"What's the difference between us soldiers..."

On the virtual screen, an inspiring military song rang out. General Hu hurriedly cheered up and listened quietly, listening while watching the lyrics in his hands.

Two days later, the song rang in the military academy.

By mid-September, it began to be widely sung in schools, but also among the people. Although some people sing it out of tune, it still does not hinder their love for this song.

At the same time, it also lets the common people know that their current stable life is all obtained by the bloody sacrifice of the soldiers, and cherish the present.

This song is completely different from the tunes of the present, but it is like a hurricane, sweeping quickly. Even if someone finds it weird, it feels particularly nice and catchy.

Compared to those miserable and miserable tunes, this song gives people a passionate and uplifting power and full of momentum.

For a time, many boys even wanted to join the army and defend their country.

But now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe and the border is stable, the imperial court does not have large-scale recruitment.

Many of the soldiers heard this song were filled with tears.

Yes, since I left my hometown, it has been difficult to see my parents. Some of them stayed in the military camp for seven or eight years. Not to mention seeing my parents, the children at home don’t know how tall they grow.

Many people even lost contact with their families, not knowing whether their parents are safe at home and whether their wives and children can eat and wear warmth.

It's still better now, at least not to fight. If you encounter a war, you might die on the battlefield, with blood flowing and corpses everywhere. This is the norm after every war.

They are used to life and death and are even more respectful of life.

In Shengjing, Xue Luo wore a delicate pink dress flying in the wind, and three thousand black hairs were also chaotic in the breeze.

Come out of the girls' school and prepare to go back to your home.

She has bought a house here, a two-story building. Her favorite time is in winter, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, cooking a pot of tea, and playing a song in the warm winter sun. This is a peaceful life that she has never experienced.

"Teacher Xueluo, are you going home?"

Two female students walked behind her and saw Xue lagging behind, holding her arm intimately.

Xue Luo smiled and said, "Go and buy some food first and then go back."

I have to work hard to go back tonight, so I won’t cook anymore, buy some ready-made ones to go back.

"That's great, we're going too, can we go together?"

"good!"

The snow fell in the girls' school like a fish in water. The female students here respected her very much, and she was very happy to teach.

Especially during the half year of traveling with His Majesty, I learned a lot of songs with different styles, which were slowly handed over to the students in the school. Now Xue Luo has a high reputation in Shengjing, but no one dares to cause trouble for her, just because everyone in the school knows that Teacher Xue Luo was brought back by His Majesty herself, and the backer behind her is the current empress.

When the students know, everyone will know.

However, there are many men who admire Xue Luo behind their backs, and there are matchmakers coming to propose marriage. However, Xue Luo doesn't want to get married now, so they all refuse.

She also made friends with some women here, and most of them talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The snow falls in this regard and does not fall into others.

I bought a few food items at the food court, and Xue Luo took them back to his home.

After returning home, after dinner, I went upstairs to the study to prepare my homework for tomorrow.

Compared to the days when she was selling laughter in the building, life now is what she wants.

Although she sometimes misses the Empress, Amber and Linglong, she often communicates with Amber Linglong. Now the express delivery speed is very fast, and it is not difficult to communicate with letters.

It became dark, and snow fell to light candles inside and outside the house, and the two lanterns in front of the door illuminated the street.

"Miss Xueluo, your letter was sent from Chang'an City." A shivering young man came over with a cloth bag, then took out a letter and handed it to Xueluo.

Xue Luo Chong smiled and thanked him, then returned home and locked him.

The letter contained the letter Linglong and Amber. They were neighbors and could speak through the wall. They did not need to write separately or install separately.

The letter said that both of them were pregnant, saying that they were three months old. According to the time they were delayed on the road, they are almost four months now.

She was naturally happy for her two friends.

After reading it, spread out a piece of paper and prepare to write a reply.

Although the three of them are thousands of miles apart, Xue Luo does not feel lonely. His daily life is colorful, and occasionally he goes out for a few friends to enjoy the moon. He is already very satisfied.

In early October, the first civil strife broke out in Western Chu.

Because the new emperor Chu Zhan insisted on withdrawing the vassal states, the three vassal kings gathered 500,000 troops and headed directly to the capital.

During this period, Zhou Yu went to Qinzheng Hall to talk to His Majesty and the two prime ministers about the war in Western Chu.

"A army of 500,000." Xie Lang's eyes were light and his bright fingers were fiddling with the jade seal on the table. "Chu Zhan ascended the throne in the same way. How could he not beware of those vassal kings? There must be a problem with this."

Su Ying said: "Emperor Chu was impatient after all, and the withdrawal of the vassal states was not a joke. Before, the vassal kings held troops in their respective fiefs and were considered local emperors. Now the Emperor of Chu asked them to move to the capital at home and live under the eyes of Emperor Chu. It would be difficult for those days, so they would definitely be reluctant."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Emperor Chu wanted to follow my Great Zhou and share the country's territory!"

"..." Not only Su Ying and Lin Pu, but even Xie Lang was a little surprised.

"The national conditions are different, so he is a little too cautious in his actions, right?" Lin Pu frowned deeply, "Western Chu does not have the ability of His Majesty to suppress the emperors of the previous dynasty. Even though the Emperor Chu held heavy troops, this time it suddenly made all the vassal kings of Western Chu. The soldiers of these vassal kings gathered together, which was enough to compete with the Emperor's imperial army, and even not at a disadvantage."

This is also what Xie Lang is curious about.

She insisted on doing something, and she would definitely not be afraid of the opposition around her.

If you dare to object, you have to die. Anyway, she will not die if anyone dies.

But Emperor Chu is different. His desire to sit firmly under his butt is inseparable from the support of important officials of the previous dynasty.

Without the support of these court officials, the position of Emperor Chu must have been unstable.

Although Chu Zhan was a vassal king before, Xie Lang definitely didn't believe that the other party was a brainless person.

The withdrawal of the vassal state has never been simple. In the hundreds of years of history, no emperor of all dynasties had ever thought of withdrawing the vassal state. It would be better to control the entire Western Chu world? There must be, but no one has ever succeeded.

What did Chu Zhan rely on?

"What else is there in Xi Chu?" Xie Lang looked at Zhou Yu.

"This civil strife in Western Chu will never end easily, and it will inevitably lead to a situation of slaughtering the death." Zhou Yu said: "Now there are only three vassal kings, and four vassal kings will join in the future. At that time, the two sides will inevitably start a fierce battle, and no one can compromise."

Su Ying nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's opinion, "The Grand Secretary is right. Emperor Chu is an emperor. If he compromises, his majesty will inevitably be wiped out in the future. Even those vassal kings will become even more rampant afterwards, and they may join forces to force the palace. If he does not compromise, once the war begins, the Western Chu Imperial City will definitely fall and become the main battlefield of this war. No matter who wins, it will be a favorable signal for our Great Zhou. I am afraid that Beiliang will share the profits from it."

"Will Your Majesty be here in person this time?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly.

"I won't go." Xie Lang waved his hand, "If I let me do everything myself, what's the use of asking those border guards?"

"Since that's the case, I will also make a secret plan in Beiliang, and it will first achieve results within two years. However, it will take at least five years to fully control those two territory."

Zhou Yu's answer was very affirmative.

"The folks in Beiliang are fierce. The news from the inside line before the drama has been conveyed. Beiliang's combat power has reached 1.2 million. The harsh environment of Beiliang has also created more powerful soldiers than neighboring countries. If Beiliang is not in chaos and His Majesty does not take action, Western Chu will be unfavorable to our Great Zhou."

"You three are planning this matter secretly, and I am waiting for your good news."

"yes!"

The three of them have always been in the Diligence Hall, and Su Ying sighed, "If Your Majesty takes action, it will not be difficult."

"The world is not only the world of Your Majesty, but also the world of the world. You can't count on Your Majesty in everything. To be disrespectful, Your Majesty will no longer be in this position in the future, but the new king does not have the ability of Your Majesty. I, the Great Zhou, aren't it dangerous?" Zhou Yu said.

"What the Grand Secretary said is reasonable." They may have been so used to His Majesty's efforts to turn the tide, so they always count on His Majesty.

It's time to make a change.

"Dad, you have tea." In a quiet courtyard, a little boy with pink and jade was walking carefully to Si Yanzhi with a cup of tea, taking a swaying little step.

This is when Si Yanzhi was patrolling together, he encountered a young couple who were intercepted and killed by bandits. The couple unfortunately passed away, leaving only this child who had just turned two years old.

When he learned that the other party had no other relatives in his family, Si Yan was not young anymore and wanted to raise a child, so the couple agreed.

After returning to Beijing, Si Yanzhi took the child to get a household registration, kept him by his side, and allowed him to keep his name.

After all, he was still alive because his parents exchanged their own lives.

Si Yanzhi took the tea bowl, put it on the stone table in the yard, and took the child up and placed it on his lap.

The little guy was not afraid of being angry. He shook his short legs happily and smiled better than the birds on the branches.

"Dad takes you out for dinner tonight?"

"Okay." The little guy nodded happily. He liked to eat outside.

It was getting dark, and Si Yanzhi took the child away from the house.

The two went to the food court. Although the little guy couldn't see how much he had eaten, he liked to buy and buy. He wanted to buy and taste the delicious food.

This is not a big deal, so I will naturally not refuse it.

The little guy is lively and quirky. Although he always causes some trouble every day, it also makes the courtyard more fireworks.

Otherwise, he would be alone living, and it would appear particularly deserted.

"In other words!" A man came towards him, and when he approached, he stretched out his hand at the little guy. The child was not afraid of being alive, so he let the other party hold him in his arms, "Take the child out for food?"

Seeing the other party, Si Yanzhi smiled: "If you don't want to open fire at home, just buy some food outside, why are you the only one?"

After graduation, Yang Zhengning stayed at Chang'an University to teach. Although he had outstanding academic performance and was enough to become an official, he was more enthusiastic about knowledge and therefore refused the imperial court's title.

Si Yanzhi looked back and saw Yang Zhengning's wife. The other party was an official lady. She looked very outstanding, but she was better than gentleness and quietness. The two of them were also harmonious and loving.
