From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 732

What Zhou Yuan didn't expect was that the second senior sister really came again at night. Although she pretended to be calm, Zhou Yuan could still feel the panic in her voice.

"The second senior sister is worthy of being a core member of the inner court. She is very serious about work and wants to talk about work at night."

Zhou Yuan quickly pulled her in and put the bolt on the door.

But the next moment, he suddenly stopped, because he found that the second senior sister stood there motionless, with tears in her eyes, and seemed to be about to cry out.

Zhou Yuan quickly said: "Don't, Junior Brother is joking with you..."

He was a little guilty.

Ye Qingying sobbed: "Zhou Yuan, what kind of person am I in your eyes? A toy that you can take whatever you want, right?"

It's over, this time Junior Brother stopped shouting and started to say such heavy words.

Zhou Yuan panicked even more, pretending to be calm and said, "Second Senior Sister, you misunderstood. I am just obsessed with your peerless beauty. You can't blame me for not having self-control. You can only blame God for giving you this beautiful appearance."

Ye Qingying curled her lips, feeling happy, but quickly turned her face away and said, "You always say this kind of words to deceive me. Every time you see me, you just do bad things, but I don't like that."

You were clearly very involved last night...

At this time, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to be stubborn, so he whispered, "What does Second Senior Sister like?"

Ye Qingying said, " I... I am someone who wants to do something serious. I have my ideals and ambitions. I want to become better and more outstanding. "

"I am curious because I want to improve myself so much."

"I hope to learn something from you. I hope you can teach me seriously instead of always thinking about those bad things."

She looked at Zhou Yuan, and she felt more and more wronged. She whispered, "Does my desire to improve myself seem ridiculous to you? Do you think that I can never be as good as you, so you ignore my ideals?"

These words were a bit serious, and Zhou Yuan also put away his teasing heart.

He said solemnly, "Second Senior Sister, go make tea for us. I will take down the map and tell you about the situation in the southwest and the key to breaking the deadlock."

Ye Qingying's eyes lit up and she whispered, "Really?"

"Really, go ahead."

Hearing Zhou Yuan's answer, Ye Qingying hurried to work.

Zhou Yuan also spread the map on the table. This time he was very serious and did not think of sending the second senior sister away casually.

He never despised ideals, and no one's ideals should be despised.

Second Senior Sister had emphasized many times that she wanted to do something serious, and she had been doing so for a long time, and she did it very well.

Zhou Yuan began to reflect on himself, whether he had become arrogant.

He had indeed done many great things in these years, and was no longer the small fish that was slaughtered by others. Wherever he went, he was honored as the Duke of the State and the Grand Marshal...

With glory and beauties around him, his will seemed to be loosened, and his arrogance and expansion seemed to grow quietly in unknown places.

So much so that when Second Senior Sister mentioned her ideals many times, he did not take it seriously, but instead had a sense of looking at it as a joke.

In fact, this is a very dangerous state. Not only does it disrespect Second Senior Sister, it is also easy to lose the heart of Tao.

The road ahead is still long, and only by guarding against arrogance and impatience can we walk more steadily and for a longer time.

"The tea is here!"

Ye Qingying came in with tea, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Zhou Yuan took the tea, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He whispered, "Second Senior Sister, please sit down next to me."

Ye Qingying was like a student at this moment. She quickly put the chair next to Zhou Yuan and sat down obediently.

She said excitedly, "Tell me quickly, how did you come up with the current situation, and why did you ask Guan Lu to come here at the beginning of the year."

"I'm really curious. I also want to make plans."

Seeing her excited eyes, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly. This was clearly the happiest thing for the second senior sister. He was indeed inflated during this period and ignored her true feelings.

Zhou Yuan said: "Second Senior Sister, look at the map, let's talk about the situation in the southwest in early February."

"At that time, Guiyang Prefecture had been lost. An Fuman led 60,000 Tusi soldiers and tens of thousands of Miao soldiers to form a huge team of more than 100,000 and occupied the entire Guizhou."

"This is Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng. They united and began to invade southern Sichuan, and took tens of thousands of tenants to attack Fushun Prefecture."

"An Fuman's goal is to gain a foothold in Guizhou, constantly recruit troops and strengthen himself. Even if he can't go further, he must ensure that he has the ability to deal with the court."

"And Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng want to plunder the wealth of Fushun Prefecture to make their lives better. The further goal is to occupy the entire Sichuan."

Speaking of this, ZhouYuan smiled and said, "There's no need to analyze this carefully. Their positions are very clear, and you should be able to see it."

Ye Qingying nodded quickly and said, "Yes! An Fuman really has no ambition to seize the world. He just wants to be a local lord and become the local emperor of Guizhou. The Tusi of Adu and Wumeng are just grass-roots teams. They are like bandits who only want to plunder."

Zhou Yuan said, "So in early February, when we were thinking about how to solve the crisis in the southwest, we had to consider many things."

"We must first understand that The nature of the Tusi rebellion in the southwest is different from the Liangjiang Rebellion and the Central Plains Bandits Rebellion. The former is that the nobles coerced their soldiers to rebel and seize the world, while the latter is that the refugees who can't make a living want to create a peaceful world. "

"The nobles rebelled and raised their troops for many years. Their goal is to seize the world. They are very united internally, so they must be suppressed with heavy troops and killed. "

"The refugees have nowhere to go. If they want to create a peaceful world, they still need to be suppressed with heavy troops, but they can't be killed. Instead, they should be given the opportunity to go home and live a new life. This is the solution. "

"Therefore, back to the southwest, this is obviously a rebellion carried out by the chieftains who are ambitious and ignorant of ordinary people."

"The people's desire to resist the court is not strong or firm. They are more likely to be bewitched and guided, and thus embark on this path, such as the Shuixi Miao soldiers, the Sichuan tenant farmers, and some officers and soldiers under the chieftains."

"Faced with such a situation, can we suppress it with heavy troops?"

Ye Qingying immediately said: "No, I didn't know it before, but now that you have analyzed it, I know that I can't."

"Very Most of the ordinary people are innocent. They are just bewitched by the chieftains. They are not evil people, but just took the wrong path. "

"If this situation is suppressed by heavy troops, it will make them hate the court more from generation to generation, which is not conducive to regional unity and future development. "

Zhou Yuan gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Second Senior Sister is really smart. She draws inferences from one example and grasps the core of the matter."

Ye Qingying glanced at him, her face flushed, a little embarrassed, but more happy.

She whispered: "You...you continue..."
