Chapter 651: Rupture

Before the end of the first month, the Goryeo Kingdom in the northeast sent a large army of envoys to Beijing to ask to see Emperor Chongming.

The envoys not only brought a letter of state from the newly succeeded Emperor Renzong Li Chenghao, but also brought rich gifts, wanting to renew the old friendship with Xixia.

At the court meeting on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Rujun once played, and now the old emperor of Goryeo has died, and the new emperor Li Chenghao has succeeded to the throne, whether it is in the court or among the people, it has a good reputation.

Diligent government and love the people should be the way to be a king. If there are virtuous monarchs in Goryeo, Chen Rujun is unwilling to break off diplomatic relations with them. He suggested that in order to demonstrate Xixia's benevolence and the sincerity of good-neighborliness and friendship between the two sides, the Ministry of Rites should send a congratulatory gift on behalf of Emperor Chongming to congratulate the new emperor on his succession.

Emperor Chongming also once wrote Zhu Zhu and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites for processing. For this purpose, the Ministry of Rites sent an envoy to Goryeo, and was warmly received by Emperor Injong.

During this period, Emperor Renzong also mentioned that the culture of the Central Plains is broad and profound, and he will soon send an embassy to feel the customs and customs of Xixia. also said frankly that if the conditions permitted, he would also want to come to Xixia in person to take a walk.

At the beginning of the founding of Xixia, the first emperor had some friendship with Goryeo. At that time, the Goryeo Kingdom was the reign of Li Renzheng, who admired the customs of the Central Plains and was willing to come to the court every year. Later, there was civil strife in Goryeo, and the two sides were in endless disputes, and Li Renzheng was too busy to take care of himself, so this friendship was shallow.

Then came Lee Jae-hyung, who was withdrawn and closed off from the country, and there was no intersection between the two countries.

A spy came to report that Lee Jae-hyung was seriously ill and would die soon, and the crown prince of the dynasty, Lee Seung-ho, was known as a virtuous person.

Sure enough, at the beginning of Li Chenghao's accession to the throne, the first thing he did was to order someone to send a rich gift to Gusu, expressing his sincerity and wanting to re-establish a deep connection with Xixia.

Guoxian was able to gather friends from afar, and Emperor Chongming smiled and ordered the Ministry of Rites to send a letter inviting the Goryeo delegation to Xixia. He also heard that Emperor Injong Li Chenghao was newly married a few years ago, and Emperor Chongming ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a rich gift and hand it over to the Goryeo mission to bring back to express his sincerity.

Seventy-nine-eighty-nine, look at the willows along the river. When Murong Wei hung on the wall in the picture of the Ninety-Nine Cold, and the last white plum also bloomed with ink marks, the pear was already blooming in the Gusu Imperial City, and the flowers were blooming like the sea.

In the early spring, Qin Heng arrived in Gusu with a huge welcoming team. He fulfilled his old promise and came to marry Wen Wan in person.

The Jian'an royal family attaches so much importance to gentleness that Xiangyuan Bofu was overjoyed.

Now Bofu can't make ends meet, but it is difficult to meet the large expenses of Uncle Xiangyuan with a noble man. He wanted to get some joy with his gentle marriage, and then make a lot of money for the house.

Mrs. Bo prepared a dowry of thirty-two lifts, but it was just a cover-up. In addition to a few brocade quilts, there were some brocade cloths that had long been outdated at the bottom of the box, and a few sets of gilded head and face jewelry, all of which were useless. Even so, Mrs. Uncle still sent a letter to Wen Wan, clearly telling her that since she was a member of Xiangyuan Bofu, she would bring Xiangyuan Bofu again before leaving the cabinet.

The old lady wanted to be gentle and must marry from Xiangyuan Bo's mansion, and ordered her to come back immediately to marry with peace of mind.

The greedy faces of the family jumped on the page, and they sneered gently.

Bofu is unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust. Wen Wan asked Xia Lanxin to go to Luo's Pharmacy and whispered a few words quietly with Luo Pujia. A shallow smile bloomed on Luo Pujia's face, and she ordered someone to invite the two hidden dragon guards in the medicine shop to come in and speak.

However, in a few days, the matter of Xiangyuanbo gathering to gamble was turned out again, and some of the children of the gentlemen in Beijing who participated in gambling were also from noble backgrounds, and their identities were revealed, and they directly lost the face of their own house.

Emperor Chongming was furious, and instructed the soldiers and horses of the five cities to investigate and bring these people back one by one for questioning. After several threats, these people not only admitted the fact that they often participated in gambling, but also bit out the fact that Xiang Yuanbo borrowed money from others.

Several uncles relied on the shadow of their ancestors to maintain the court, and most of them had declined, and Emperor Chongming didn't want to kill them all. Hearing the pickled things that these noble children do on weekdays, they are simply angry.

After leaving the court, Emperor Chongming discussed with Xia Ge Lao and Chen Rujun, wanting to take advantage of Xiang Yuanbo's unscrupulous behavior this time to cut off the sons and daughters of these noble families who did not care about their faces, and they were demoted to concubines.

Because the Manchu Dynasty lords and nobles were intertwined and most of them were somewhat related, Xia Ge suggested that he should take a long-term view and weaken their power little by little, and finally uproot these families together.

The gentle and innocent self-purification, and together with Zhou Ruosu, he was determined to clear up the relationship with Xiangyuan Bofu. She deliberately played the Empress of Chu, her mother has been separated, she has been living in the Zhou Mansion now, and implored the Empress Chu to agree that she will not marry from the Xiangyuan Mansion, but from the Zhou Mansion.

Old things, Queen Chu heard a lot from Chu Zhaohui, and she was also full of contempt for such a big trouble as Xiangyuan Bofu, which was rotten from head to heel.

It's just that the Zhou Mansion is Mrs. Zhou's maiden family, and it is a little inappropriate for Wen Wan to marry from there. Now Chu Zhaohui is not at home, and Wen Wan is not suitable to marry from King An's mansion, and later Queen Chu personally issued a decree to order the county lord of Duanyi to be married in the palace and leave the cabinet from Hanzhang Palace.

When the news came out, it was tantamount to a slap in the face of Uncle Xiangyuan, and Mrs. Uncle was so angry that she rolled her eyes on the spot, and Mrs. Uncle was also choked with a mouthful of old blood in her throat, unable to spit it out and swallow it.

With the thirty-two dowries to fool Wen Wan, Mrs. Bo had a wishful thinking and wanted to take the opportunity to receive the congratulatory gifts sent by the various mansions, so that she could make a good fortune from Wen Wan in order to buy a decent dowry for her own son.

Now that the bamboo basket is fetching water, Mrs. Bo is not even willing to give away the thirty-two dowry. In front of everyone's eyes, he could only go to Hanzhang Palace once and gave two sets of gilt jewelry.

She said coldly to Wen Wan: "The house is now unable to make ends meet, and the girl is not rare to come to those few loads of things, so the mother will keep them for your brother." These two sets of jewelry were my dowry back then, and they were a little thinner, and they called me a mother in the past, and they gave the girl makeup. ”

Wen Wan wore a smoky red gold and vermilion long skirt, holding a copper cloisonné enamel three-legged hand stove in her hand, and smiled gracefully and luxuriously: "Madame, why should you deceive yourself, you ordered my mother to kneel in the ice and snow, if it wasn't for Mrs. Anguo to come to the rescue, where would my mother and daughter be today?" ”

Ordered Agarwood to re-arrange the two sets of jewelry, Wen Wan took a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and handed it to Mrs. Xiangyuanbo: "This silver is enough for my mother's worth of silver and my mother and daughter over the years. ”
