The old eunuch listened to this beside him and couldn't help but ask, "Why does the emperor still refuse to send troops?" Do you really let the New Song Army pass through my territory? ”

In the curtain, Li Xiushu still only chuckled.

The old eunuch groaned slightly, and said, "Does the emperor really not care about the relationship between the prince in his belly and that person?" ”

Because he was next to Li Xiushu, he also had the courage to say these things. Because he also understands that apart from him, no one dares to say this to the empress in this Western Xia Palace.

"It's not that I don't want to send troops, but I can't send troops......"

Li Xiushu lifted the curtain and sighed lightly: "It's my own business, if I let him enter the Great Song Dynasty, it will inevitably be a little troublesome." ”

She looked at the letter in her hand and smiled, "This man has a lot of complaints about me, but ...... He'll figure it out later. ”

As he spoke, he smiled like a girl on his face, rubbed his already bulging belly, and muttered to himself: "And I am pregnant with his child, what can he do to me?" ”

The old eunuch stopped talking.

Although he was next to Li Xiushu, Li Xiushu's thoughts made him deeply feel incomprehensible.

After a long time, Li Xiushu's voice suddenly became a little cold, and said, "Father-in-law Yu, go to Xuanzhong Sun, General Helian and General Qu Rujian." ”

The old eunuch bowed, "The old slave retired." ”

Li Xiushu sat back in the curtain and laughed alone when no one was around.

After a short time, the humerus ministers of the military and political worlds such as Xixia Qu Rujian, Zhongsun Qifu, Helian Cheng, and Tuoba Xiong all came to this dormitory.

Seeing the empress sitting in the curtain again, there was inevitably a look of doubt on their faces.

Even if he is like Emperor Zhongsun Qifu, he has not seen Li Xiushu's true face for some time.

However, looking at Li Xiushu's style of acting and so on, no one will suspect that the person in the curtain is not Li Xiushu.

The courtesy of the courtiers.

"Let's get flat!"

Li Xiushu's arm stretched out from the curtain, flattening everyone, and quickly retracted, "Prepare to assemble a large army and send troops to Lizhou East Road." ”

She's always been so resolute.

The ministers listened, but they all showed a rather surprised look.

Zhongsun Qifu said: "The emperor wants to help the Song Dynasty exterminate the new Song army and horses?" ”

Li Xiushu just chuckled, "Whether to exterminate it or not, let's see the situation!" Our dynasty doesn't have the strength of the Song Kingdom, and it's not easy to destroy those new Song troops......"

Zhongsun Qifu hesitated slightly, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Li Xiushu said: "General Qu Rujian and General Heliancheng first led the forbidden army of the DPRK and China, and united the Fengxiang and Lintao armies to the north of the Lizhou East Road. Let's not talk about whether we will destroy those new Song armies, we must always deter them, lest they fight for the tiger in our Western Xia. Come to think of it, if the new Song Dynasty wants to borrow the Tao, these days should send people to see me, whether to let them go or not, and I will make a decision when I arrive. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly said again: "Lord Tuoba, Lord She Tuo, I will leave the matter of food and grass for the army to you, there will be no problems, right?" ”

"Commandment."

Tuoba Xiong and She Tuoli, the two heads of the family, both bowed down to receive orders.

Since Lee so-sook ascended the throne, they have also stayed in Zhongxing Mansion for such a long time. Right now, I'm afraid there is no more dissent.

With the help of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia has developed well in recent years, and Li Xiushu's power has become more and more concentrated. Even if they want to do something, they may not have the strength.

Li Xiushu's voice came out of the curtain again, "In that case, then you should retreat!" Emperor, you stay, I still have something to tell you. ”

"Retire!"

Helian Cheng and the others walked out of the room one after another.

Zhongsun Qifu stayed in the room and asked Li Xiushu: "The emperor has something to explain to the ministers?" ”

Li Xiushu sighed and said: "I received the news that Pang Hongguang and others on the east and west roads of Lizhou did not really vote for me in Xixia!" It may have been forced by the situation at the beginning. And whether Tuoba Xiong, She Tuoli and others are really assisting me now, I still dare not conclude. Taifu, there are some things that I can only leave to you. You have to keep an eye on Tuoba Xiong and She Tuoli, and in addition, the chief officials of Fengxiang and Lintao should also keep an eye on them. I don't want this Western Xia, which has been revived so hard, to face the end of destruction again......"

Zhongsun Qifu was shocked, "Pang Hongguang and the others are not ...... The emperor raised troops to pacify the east and west roads of Lizhou? ”

"Hmm."

Li Xiushu did not hide it from Zhongsun Qifu, "When the envoys of the New Song Dynasty come to see me, I will ask for some benefits, and then order Pang Hongguang and others to let them go." When the time comes, let Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng lead their troops into the east and west of Lizhou. My Western Xia army is not strong, and I am worried that they will unite with the New Song Army, and Helian Cheng and others will not be their opponents! If this were not the case, it would not be a good thing to destroy the New Song Army together. Even if I can't expand my territory in Western Xia, I don't have to worry that the Great Song Dynasty in Southern Xinjiang will come to invade. ”

Zhongsun Qifu groaned slightly, "In this case, why didn't the emperor let the Song State send troops to help?" The Great Song Dynasty should also want to destroy this new Song army, right? ”

Li Xiushu said: "The Yuan Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern Song Dynasty, and how many soldiers and horses can the Song army draw." Moreover, if I wanted the Song army to come to jointly pacify the east and west roads of Lizhou and annihilate the new Song army, what would the people of the east and west roads of Lizhou think under the deliberate guidance of some people? Don't you say that I will unite with foreign dynasties to deal with the people of this dynasty? ”

She sighed, "The voices of the people are terrible. I don't want something like the Great Song to happen in the territory of Western Xia, the Great Song can afford to toss, but our Western Xia may not be able to afford it......"

Zhongsun Qifu chuckled, "The emperor is sage." Now that the emperor is acting, even the old ministers are becoming more and more incomprehensible. ”

Li Xiushu smiled: "I see that Taifu, you are not unable to figure it out, but you are unwilling to spend that brain." ”

Zhongsun Qifu did not argue, "At the age of the old minister, it should also be the time to enjoy the blessings!" ”

After saying that, he arched his hand and said: "The things that the emperor explained, the old minister remembered in his heart." The old minister retired first. ”

Then exit the house.

After he left, Li Xiushu sighed softly: "If everyone in this court can be like Zhongsun Taifu, how good it would be......"

Zhongsun Qifu is loyal, strategic, and more importantly, he knows how to advance and retreat.

He just said that he had reached the grade where he should enjoy Qingfu, which was nothing more than showing his heart to Li Xiushu.

With his current status and prestige in Western Xia, no matter how much he yearns for power, even if Li Xiushu is close to him, he will inevitably become more and more estranged.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

Li Xiushu is becoming more and more mature, which means that Zhongsun Qifu needs to give up power.

In this era when the emperor is respected, no one's way can stand in the way of the emperor.

Gu Shucha returned to his mansion, and when he passed Li Xiushu's reply to the flying pigeon to Changsha City.

And inside and outside the Zhongxing Mansion in Dali, there was also a sudden recruitment order.

I don't know how many families were affected, and the young and strong families returned to the barracks to resume their lives.

Following.

Zhao Dongting and Kong Qiangu arrived in the Changde Mansion.

In fact, they could go directly to the shore of Dongting Lake, but Zhao Dongting still took a detour and brought the empty eternals here.

In Changde Mansion, he found the "Little Snow Powder House".

The shopkeeper who used to be in the powder shop, as well as the clever little guy, are gone.

Now the powder shop is run by the woman named Ah Hong and her father and mother.

When Taki wanted to leave Changde Mansion, he handed over this powder house to them, and said to Ah Hong, let her wait here for Wu Ah Miao to come back.

This is the last thing he left in Wu Amiao, and it is also his last sustenance for this river and lake before he died. Before he entered the palace, he never thought that he would be able to come back alive.

Zhao Dongting took Kong Qiangu to the outside of the Fan Pavilion, looked at the willow, and was distracted for a long time.

He said: "Senior Kong, if there was no incident in Xiangyang at the beginning, how good would it be? ”

Kong Qiangu said: "But without the matter of Xiangyang, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will become more and more corrupt, and how can there be today's Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Dongting smiled, "I'll move to the main trunk of this willow, and I have to think twice before acting!" I really don't know how many families and how many people will be affected. ”

Being the emperor is really walking on thin ice.

After saying this, Zhao Dongting knocked on his forehead and walked into the powder shop.

As soon as he entered, his eyes fell on the woman named Ah Hong, who was busy.

Her figure is indeed outstanding, in terms of her buttocks and breasts, it is really rare. Zhao Dongting smashed his mouth and whispered, "I thought you were bragging, but I didn't expect you to find such a superlative." ”

The empty eternals only pretended not to hear.
