Be good, call me uncle

Hot spring palace, as the name suggests, is a palace built for bathing in hot springs.

But in this summer season, there are also places to cool down.

The terrace where the couple stayed was built at the foot of the mountain.

The windows all around were opened, and a cool breeze blew in.

Lu Mingyu lazily leaned on the chair and took a nap as the gauze danced.

Changsun Tao brought her fresh fruits and chilled them with ice, exuding a slight chill.

Lu Mingyu opened her mouth, and sweet fruit came into her mouth.

She ate it with a smile, then raised her lips and looked at Chang Sun Tao: "It's sweet."

Changsun Tao glanced at her teasingly: "I'm still sweeter than melon."

Lu Mingyu suddenly fell into deep thought: "If it's Miss Lingling, she will definitely find melon sweet. I don't know what's going on with Miss Lingling."

Changsun Tao said: "Xie Yun sent news that Cousin Yun had already arranged everything when he left southern Xinjiang, and Xie Yun only finished the work in the past."

Lu Mingyu nodded: "With Cousin Yun's methods and the second brother's experience, those elders in Southern Xinjiang will probably suffer a lot."

Changsun Tao said: "After the activation of the Ten Square Formation, the southern border forbidden area has undergone great changes due to the auxiliary formation."

"It is said that in some place, ice silkworms can no longer be produced. If there were no ice silkworms, there would be no need to protect the forbidden area."

"Then the high priest and the elders will not have to take turns guarding the forbidden area, and the saint's final outcome will not be to be thrown into the forbidden area, or to become a high priest, or to die."

"So the political structure of Southern Xinjiang will also undergo great changes. If someone starts to unify the tribes in Southern Xinjiang at this time, it will probably become a major threat hundreds of years later."

Lu Mingyu rolled his eyes and then said: "Zhaohua, do you think Cousin Yun is more like a Northern Qi person or a Da Qin person?"

Changsun Tao did not hesitate: "People from Great Qin."

Lu Mingyu asked again: "What about master?" Changsun Tao said without thinking, "He is also like a Daqin person."

Lu Mingyu spoke slowly: "Zhaohua, have you noticed that Daqin is a very charming place, and Daqin's culture is even more powerful."

"Whether it is Cousin Yun and Master who have been wandering around the territory of Daqin all year round, or the Lingling girl who enters Daqin and travels, they will eventually be assimilated by Daqin."

"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has been going through wars all the way to today, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood flowing everywhere. Why don't we change the way we fight?"

Changsun Tao narrowed his eyes: "You mean, fighting a cultural war?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "Foreign races cannot rule the land of Great Qin because they do not have such a long-standing cultural heritage."

"But we rely on the same inheritance to stand on this land for thousands of years, which is enough to show how strong our cultural power is."

"Instead of using force to conquer the barbarians and make them surrender temporarily, it is better to use cultural invasion to turn them into Qin people."

"When the cultural seeds of Da Qin are sown in every inch of the land, the flowers that bloom will be the flowers of Da Qin."

"When the time comes, we will not only be a great country that relies on force to win over foreigners, but we will also be a country of etiquette that attracts people from all over the world to come to court by relying on cultural charm."

Changsun Tao thought seriously and was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly: "I have always wanted to conquer Northern Qi. This kind of conquest is not to force Northern Qi to surrender, but to make Northern Qi return to its original state and truly belong to Da Qin."

"Not only Northern Qi, but also Xirong, which has been controlled by Da Qin, and Southern Xinjiang, which is suppressed by Qin, and the Siyi lands, should live in harmony with Qin and share peace."

"This is not only my ideal, but also Mr. Feng's ideal. It is also the ambition of many ancestors who fought in the north and south to expand their territory."

Lu Mingyu put a piece of melon into his mouth, and then smiled: "Since we all have this idea, why not take the opportunity to discuss it?"

Changsun Tao asked her with a smile: "What do you think?"
