Dingtao has been in a complicated mood recently and is a little confused.

Facing her son Xiao Bu's guessing gaze, she subconsciously avoided it and felt guilty.

She didn't want to mention the past to her son.

Especially my first marriage, it is also the only marriage.

She bought all the newspapers and looked at the various analytical reports on it, but there was no detailed information from that person.

All the introductions are just mentioned, only mentioning the identity of the past and not the current situation.

I guess the person who wrote the article didn’t understand what Liu Baoping was in now.

Dingtao hesitated for several days, and finally made up his mind to walk out of the house.

She went to meet Yan Yunqi.

As a result, he was turned away.

Yan Yunqi has been closed to the guests for a long time, and it is not easy for her daughter, County Lord Jianing to see her.

then……

Dingtao turned around and went to meet the Lord of Jianing County.

"Why did my aunt come to me?"

"Your mother refuses to see me. I have no choice but to come to you."

The Lord of Jianing County knew it.

"Does my aunt want to inquire about the Liu family?"

"Do you know?"

Jianing hesitated a little, "I dared to ask, what is my aunt doing when I ask about these things? I can't..."

Dingtao laughed at himself, "Are you worried that I will never forget my old love and want to renew my previous relationship? Don't worry, I don't have that idea. It's just that I just want to know the situation of that person, is it good or bad?"

"What can I do if I know Liu Baoping's situation?"

"I'm happy if he doesn't live well. If he does live well, I'll curse him in my heart."

Dingtao looked vicious.

"Does Xiao Bu know?"

"He probably knew, but he didn't say anything, and he buried it all in his heart."

The Lord of Jianing County knew it.

"I don't know much about Liu Baoping's specific situation. From our perspective, he definitely didn't live well. He was sleeping in the open and dignified prince, but he lived a hard nomadic life and lacked all kinds of supplies. However, with his authority and his right to speak on the grassland, he must have lived well."

"He really became the king of the grassland? He is really that powerful?"

Dingtao was surprised and surprised.

The county lord of Jianing nodded slightly, "He has always been very powerful, and his aunt should know better than anyone else."

Dingtao's face looked a little wrong, "He is lucky. He has been hiding in the grassland for so many years without news. He thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he suddenly came out again in a blink of an eye. He even became the chief governor of the court. What qualifications does he have to be the chief governor of the court? He is forgetting his roots!"

The county lord of Jianing frowned slightly, "Auntie, drinks a tea, this has nothing to do with us, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm just unhappy. He survived the disaster and could still make a fortune. What do you think about Your Majesty and what did the imperial court think? How could he think of using Liu Baoping? He has no integrity and he is just a thief!"

Jianing shook his head slowly, very sorry.

"I don't know what's going on in the court."

"But you are in Shaofu, and you are one of the few female officials. When you are in Shaofu, have you not heard anyone mention this matter and no one talks about the inside story?"

"I only know that Your Majesty wants to take down the grassland, and Liu Baoping is the most suitable candidate at the moment."

Dingtao looked like he suddenly realized.

She mocked her tone, "Oh, after all, it's all my fault for being too naive. People sitting on the throne are the same, everything is for the benefit.

For the sake of profit, you can turn enemies into friends or turn against each other. Sometimes you kill me and I kill you, and sometimes you are the brothers.

No wonder she can be the emperor! People like us can only go with the flow and wander around for the rest of our lives, and their destiny is entangled by others."

"Don't be sad, aunt! Everyone's life is pretty good now. Although they can't enjoy privileges, they are better than most people."

Dingtao smiled, "Jianning, you are a person who is easy to satisfy, so you have the best of your hardships and good fortune! Don't learn from me, don't be too stubborn, and don't be dying for a man. Without a man, you still have sons and daughters. Only when a woman has children can you have everything. Men are just a bullshit!"

Jianing listened with a smile, neither agreeing nor refuting.

Dingtao was nagging and saying that the thing she regretted the most was stubbornness.

Even though he knew that Liu Baoping was heartless, he was still devoted to the other party and firmly believed that the other party would come back.

Reality slapped her hard and finally woke her up.

Now, she has a son and everything is enough.

Her life experience is an excellent textbook for future generations to learn from.

All in all, don't expect men.

It’s better to count on yourself and your children!

After she finished nagging, she felt relieved and left.

She planned to take the initiative to talk about these things with her son Xiao Bu.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bu was not willing to understand.

"Whether your mother's past is good or bad. You are all my mother anyway. That Liu Baoping, who is thousands of miles away, has nothing to do with us. If you have a chance in the future, I want to compile a history. My mother said that he is a vicious man, and he must be the most vicious in my book, no doubt about it."

Dingtao smiled, laughing very happily and happily.

This is her son, sensible, smart and considerate!

This is the best gift God has given to her!

...

In the 14th year of Kaihuang, a large army was dispatched to the grassland and went to the Western Regions.

With Liu Baoping as the vanguard, the Great Zhou Dynasty officially started the war to unify the grassland and fight against the Western Regions.

The grain and grass were continuously transported to Liangzhou and then transferred from Liangzhou.

General Ling Chang'an became a key figure in the logistics of this battle.

This year, Prince De Xiao Yuanjia, who was far south, finally met with Prince Ling Changzhi, the southern border.

People from two eras meet under the wave of the same great era, two generations separated by generations.

The meeting was friendly and pleasant, and the two sides had a great conversation.

Xiao Yuanjia gave his junior rituals without any arrogance and domineeringness.

Ling Changzhi was also polite. Looking back on the past, he would not mention southern Xinjiang in a word.

This is a meeting without any substantive content, but it is a historical meeting. It will definitely be recorded in historical books and speculated by future generations.

Since then, there have been more people from the Great Zhou Dynasty in southern Xinjiang, and they are all scholars.

They came to southern Xinjiang as the last place for study tours, visited interviews, and even had in-depth understanding.

These scholars use their pens in their hands to record what they see and hear in southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Yuanjia invested in the students' study tour experience and gathered the students' experience in studying in the book, and the book "Southern Xinjiang Experience" was released and became very popular.

For the first time, southern Xinjiang officially unveiled the veil of mystery in front of the Great Zhou people.

If you cannibalize people, it is all a rumor.

However, there are indeed cannibal tribes in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang. They are primitive and barbaric and have never evolved.

and……

The southern border under the rule of Lingchang was not much different from the Great Zhou Dynasty except for being a little remote.

Everyone spoke the same language, spoke dialects from all over the country, and communicated with each other in Mandarin.

The same words, the same writing, the same school...

The conquered indigenous tribes and tribal children all read in the school, learning our writing language, and becoming the link for Ling Changzhi to successfully rule the jungle tribe.

This is a rich place, and many places have not yet been developed.

The materials are extremely abundant, and there is great potential here.

No wonder, merchants in the south have been running to southern Xinjiang over the years.

As long as you can come back alive, you can make a fortune.

"Search and Experience in Southern Xinjiang" was printed three times half a year after its publication.

At the same time, a gold rush in southern Xinjiang has been set off.

Merchants from the north formed a team to go south.
