Hanjing.

In the east of the city, Queen Subi's Mansion.

The house is very big, but Qingluan has been here once every few years, but it has been vacant for a long time.

"It's still the same as before."

After entering the mansion, put down his things, he walked around the mansion, and Qingluan smiled with satisfaction.

"There are always people in this mansion."

It was almost noon and the sun was shining.

The autumn sun is no longer hot, and the golden sunlight shines through the gaps of leaves and sprinkles on the ground, like mottled gold.

The two sat on a swing under the osmanthus tree in the garden.

The green phoenix swayed green on the swing, and the two of them slowly swayed.

The two of them were just chatting, talking about dealing with major affairs in government affairs like Tubo, and also talking about the silk tea trade in the southwest trade route. Occasionally, they would talk about the growth of Ling'er and Xuelang, and the current situation of their two children.

I may talk about Qingluan’s recent situation.

It's easy to mess with such a mess.

Qingluan smiled and said, "Thirteen Niang is really giving you a talent show? She is so generous."

"Sometimes she is really too generous. Maybe this is the characteristic of a famous lady."

Qingluan pursed her lips and looked at her man with a side face. Eighteen years ago, she fell in love with this man at first sight and asked him to be her lover. She took the initiative to touch his tent.

Eighteen years later, he seems to be the same as he was back then, with little change.

"That's because she loves you, it has nothing to do with her origin."

In front of a woman, don’t talk too much about another woman. Qingluan finally came here, and Zhang Chao also hopes to communicate more with each other.

"Ling'er should have many admirers in Subi, right? Didn't she fall in love with one or two?"

"This girl is so angry that no one of the men in Subi Kingdom can see her."

I have been learning Chinese culture since I was a child, and there are female officials sent by Zhang Chao by my side. After being in contact with her for a long time, although she is on the plateau, her heart has been in the Central Plains.

She admires Central Plains culture and likes Central Plains clothing and food.

On weekdays, whether it is dressed or eaten or drunk, it is in line with the popularity of the Central Plains.

Her cook, tailor, and even invited her from Zhongyuan. Qingluan, who is just a treasured daughter, naturally will be with her everywhere.

Now that she has grown up, she has become the little queen in power and has implemented Chinese reforms, it can also be said that she has been affected since childhood.

"This is a good thing. After all, I am Zhang Chao's daughter. On the other hand, Su Bi is the autonomous region of Dahua. The trend is to slowly integrate into the Central Plains culture and administrative system. Active Chineseization can also bring you more benefits."

It is always better to be proactive than to be passive.

"Su Bi's men don't know how to pursue and impress her. They only know how to fight bravely and fight wild hunting, wolf-and-chess, but they don't know that the more brave Ling'er is, the less she looks down on them. Ling'er likes poetry, songs, painting and music, and how many of those people understand."

"Hahaha, our girl is still literary."

"But what you said is really not short of Central Plains. The Central Plains are neither short of warriors who kill tigers and cheetahs, nor talented men who can recite poems and essays. Since Ling'er likes talented men, I will choose a husband for her this time."

"Actually, this girl is not just a talented man who can recite poems and essays. She prefers the talented man who can govern the country more. She admires your father since she was a child. This time, she wants to find a talented man like you to be her husband, and Su Bi can also help her in the future."

This girl is really quite thoughtful and has a high vision.

"Where is the wolf boy, I will let him stay here for a few years this time, and let us spend more time with our father and son? As for me, I will choose a good marriage for him in the Central Plains and find him a strong wife? How about it?"

"You have appointed him as King of Xichang. Stay there for a few years. It's great to be a vassal when you are fifteen years old."

Qingluan was obedient to the arrangement of her lover.

The lover raised his army, and she led the army to support her without saying a word.

The lover said that she would let her son stay, but she had no objection.

"In the blink of an eye, I'm old." Qingluan sighed.

"You are not old at all, you are ripe, like that beautiful fruit, it is the time to ripen now." Zhang Chao shaved his face with a smile.

"I'm much older than you. Look at the wrinkles on my face are so obvious. If I hadn't been worried about Ling'er, I would have thought of handing over Supi to her, I would have stayed in Hanjing."

Zhang Chao smiled.

"I finally figured it out, are you willing to let go of everything there?"

"You don't know how many days and nights, I can't sleep. My daughter used to be young and could sleep and chat together, but now she has long lived in separate houses."

Although Subi is a matriarchal society and has a relatively alternative and open relationship between men and women, Subi's women are actually very loyal to their other companion.

They can have more than one spouse in their lives, but if they have not severed a relationship with their current lover, they will not be dating other men again.

Qingluan chose Zhang Chao more than ten years ago, and until now, in 18 years, she has been together for too long and has given birth to two children. Although she has been together for too long, she never thought of changing her lover.

"Actually, what I envy most is Thirteen Niang and Pingyang, who can always be with you."

"Then you should stay for a while this time and let Ling'er go back first. If the family is stable, you can stay there."

"Then can you come to accompany me often?"

"Of course, you can enter the palace if you want."

"It's okay to go to the palace occasionally, but if I'm allowed to live in that deep palace forever, I'm still not used to it."

In the evening, Zhang Chao personally cooked a table of delicious food for Qingluan and a pair of children who had not seen each other for a long time.

Ling'er is not unfamiliar with her father. Zhang Chao cooks, and she just watched her, and the father and daughter can chat very well.

Zhang Chao asked her some questions about her having standards and plans for choosing a spouse.

She said bluntly that she wanted to find a husband like the Central Plains and then recruit Supi, but she would not be together like Supi's tradition, but planned to form a family to live together.

"In the future, the child will have to follow my surname, Zhang." Ling'er said.

"Your idea is good, and it is of course better for couples to live together. It is not too difficult for you to find someone who can talk to you and have talents to assist you. In the future, he may become your prime minister."

Ling'er didn't complain, just smiled and told some stories about the growth of these years. Perhaps Subi's special traditions, the families there were all grandmothers, uncles, mothers, and uncles forming a family to live. The Subi family did not have the role of father.

They will know who their father is, but this father will not enter their lives.

Ling'er accepted Han culture since she was a child, but she was also born in Supi after all.

This is a good girl, both in terms of knowledge and emotional intelligence.

Zhang Chao chatted with her casually, and she occasionally handed something to Zhang Chao.

"You will definitely encounter obstacles that you will not be able to carry out in the Chinese reform now. But you have great confidence. When you go back this time, I will prepare a husband for you, and hundreds of scholars and officials for you to help you promote the reform. In addition, I will transfer another army to Supi to serve as your strong backing."

"Thank you, Father!"

"What are you grateful for? You are my precious daughter. Moreover, from the perspective of the Lord, you are also a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and Su Bi is also an autonomous leader of the Tang Dynasty."

The Subi country was the Subi tribe in the past, and then it united many large and small countries such as the Eastern Nv, Bailang Qiang, Duomian Kingdom, Xishan Eight Kingdoms, Bailan Qiang, etc., and the tribes formed a country. During the establishment process, it has always received support from the Central Plains dynasty. It was still greatly influenced by the Central Plains, especially Queen Qingluan or Zhang Chao's woman.

This made Su Bi increasingly unable to escape from the Central Plains.

Zhang Chao did not plan to make Supi an independent country just because Qingluan was the queen.

Su Bi can become an autonomous ruler and a prince, but it must be included in the Dahua system. Now his daughter Qingluan intends to promote sinicization, which is a very good thing.

He was willing to provide officials and scholars to his daughter, and was willing to send troops to fully support her reforms.

"I plan to be completely Chinese within five years."

"very good."

Zhang Chao praised.

"About Tubo, Supi is preparing to invite the court to allow us to send troops to conquer, and the Tubo people are now becoming stronger and stronger."

This Tubo Zampsongts cadre even sent an envoy to Subi State to marry the young queen of Ling'er. The purpose was obvious, and he wanted to make Subila an ally, and even wanted to take the opportunity to annex Subi again.

"You don't have to worry about Tubo. Today's Tubo does make them secretly rise again, but if they get up again, they can only give a glimpse of the Tibetan River. The court will no longer give him a chance to rise. The court will have a complete strategy to deal with him. At that time, it will attack Tubo from all directions and lock them down step by step."

Zhang Chao had no intention of letting Supi deal with Tubo alone, nor did he intend to let Supi annex Tubo.

Tubo will be conquered, divided, and divided into pieces to the princes and heroes.

That plateau will not be directly under the jurisdiction, but it will not be easily granted to foreigners.

"You make a five-year plan, and I will help you see it and make some changes and additions to you."

The imperial court now has a five-year plan, and the cabinet is once every five years, so Zhang Chao asked Ma Zhou and others to formulate a five-year plan.

List the goals for the five-year rule and then implement efforts according to this program plan.

One term per year, and one plan per year is also to ensure the continuity of policies. If the central government of the court changes its orders every day, nothing can be done.

Not only the central court, but also Zhang Chao also asked them to formulate a five-year plan for various local states.
