The Zhongxing Mansion of Western Xia is also among the imperial cities.

There were civil officials wearing the scarlet official uniforms of the Song Dynasty who followed the eunuchs to the depths of the palace.

The ancient tree tea of the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty in Western Xia.

He is a jinshi in this year's imperial examination, because there are very few jinshi specializing in diplomacy, and the Great Song Dynasty lacks diplomatic talents, so he is the person who has been awarded the highest official title in this imperial examination.

The real power of ambassadors abroad is not high, but it is not low, and the glorious lintel is enough.

Gu Shucha suddenly entered the palace to ask to see the Empress of Western Xia, because of Zhao Dongting's letter.

Eventually, he met Lee so-sook in the imperial study.

It's just that even in this imperial study, Li Xiushu actually used a curtain to stop herself. From the outside, there was not the slightest hint of her to be seen.

The old eunuch waiting next to him said softly: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Gu, has arrived. ”

Gu Shu Tea bowed, "Gu Shu Tea has seen the Emperor of Western Xia." ”

Li Xiushu's slightly cold voice came from inside the curtain, "Lord Gu is exempt." I don't know why Master Gu suddenly asked to see me? ”

She should actually know where Gu Shucha's behavior came from, and she just asked knowingly at this time.

Gu Shucha frowned slightly without a trace, and said, "I have a secret letter from the emperor to ask the minister to pass it on to the emperor of Western Xia." ”

Even he could guess what the emperor was sending a letter to Xixia for, and of course he didn't believe that Li Xiushu would not think of it.

"Hmm."

Li Xiushu answered softly.

The old eunuch took the secret letter from Gu Shucha's hand, but he did not open the curtain. Li Xiushu only stretched out a hand from inside, looking mysterious.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, her voice came out again, "My Xixia national strength is weak, I'm afraid I can't help the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Hiss......"

Gu Shucha took a breath gently, and this time his brows were really furrowed.

He glanced at the curtain with confusion, only to be surprised. Because he never thought that the Empress of Western Xia would refuse to send troops.

It is reasonable to say that Lee so-sook should not be this choice.

After raising the language a little, Gu Shucha said slowly: "Your Majesty, your Xixia and my Great Song Kingdom have been allies since they became emperors (Li Wangyuan), supporting each other. In recent years, the emperor of our dynasty has also provided a lot of help to you in the Western Xia, and now our dynasty is besieged by the New Song Dynasty, Dali, and the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the moment when you need your assistance from the Western Xia. ”

There was no hiding displeasure in his tone.

Because in recent years, Zhao Dongting has helped Western Xia a lot, that is, even he, a new ambassador who has not been in office for a long time, has heard of it.

It can be said that without Zhao Dongting's help, it would have been impossible for the Western Xia to develop to this point in a short period of time with the national strength of the Western Xia.

Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops to help is too ruthless.

"Alas......"

Li Xiushu's sigh came from the curtain, "It's not that I don't want to send troops, it's that my Western Xia national strength has not recovered, and I really can't afford to send troops at this time......"

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Shucha squinted slightly, then straightened up, "Even if you don't miss the old relationship with my Great Song Dynasty, don't you still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”

Li Xiushu's voice suddenly became cold, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Shucha said bluntly: "If I die in the Song Dynasty, Gu dares to assert that the Western Xia will definitely follow in the footsteps of my Great Song Dynasty and perish in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty or Dali." ”

"Humph!"

Li Xiushu snorted coldly, "That's also a matter for the future." If I send troops now, and the people in the country are struggling to make a living, that will really lead to the destruction of the country! ”

As he spoke, his voice softened slightly, "I didn't mean that I wouldn't send troops to help your Great Song Kingdom, but I just need to wait a little longer." In the past few years, I have been trying to restore the people's livelihood, and you should know this, but the results are far less remarkable than those of your Great Song Kingdom. If I want to send troops, I must first let the people have food to eat, and the soldiers have food and wages. ”

Gu Shucha was slightly stunned, and then said: "The Emperor of Western Xia really asked Gu to reply to me like this, Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

He was stationed in Zhongxing Mansion, and he also had some understanding of the situation in Western Xia. Although the national strength of Western Xia is certainly far from being comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also a lie to say that it is unable to send troops.

Lee so-sook just didn't want to send troops.

And why she was reluctant to send troops, Gu Shucha couldn't guess the reason. Perhaps they do not want to get involved in the disputes of these countries, or they want to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their national strength.

"Hmmm......"

Li Xiushu's flat answer came from inside the curtain again.

"Gu retired."

Seeing that Li Xiushu was sure of the ancient tree tea, she didn't say more. After saluting, he walked out of the imperial study with some anger.

He had already said what he had to say, and even said such things as cold lips and teeth, but Li Xiushu still chose to refuse to send troops, and his decision was no longer something that he, Song Chen, could influence.

For the sake of today's plan, instead of wasting words here to persuade the Empress of Western Xia, it is better to quickly return this bad news to the emperor more realistically.

"The Emperor's ......"

As soon as the figure of Gu Shucha walked out of the imperial study, the old eunuch next to the curtain spoke into the curtain.

As the chief eunuch who serves Li Xiushu's daily life, he can naturally be regarded as Li Xiushu's confidant. There is nothing for the occasional passover.

Li Xiushu said: "Do you also think that I should send troops to help Song Guo?" ”

The old eunuch groaned, "You have ...... in your stomach Isn't it the child of the one who is conceived? ”

Inside the curtain, Li Xiushu was silent for a while.

Then her voice sounded from inside, "Now Da Song is not yet able to support it......"

The old eunuch suddenly suddenly, "The emperor is sage." ”

The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow......

But he still had doubts, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Then if the Song Dynasty wins a big victory, what if we condemn our dynasty?" ”

"Condemnation?"

Li Xiushu in the curtain gently rubbed her already bulging belly, and smiled disapplausively: "As long as this child is born, even if he condemns it, what can he do?" ”

She doesn't care if she's pregnant with a man or a woman in her belly. Even if she is a girl, with her as an example, it is not too difficult for the Western Xia to have another empress to ascend the throne.

The old eunuch was silent and said no more.

Gu Shucha left the palace with anger, and soon spread the news of Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops to Changsha with flying pigeons.

Two more days.

Pigeon to Changsha Palace.

After Zhao Dongting read the letter from the ancient tree tea in the imperial study, he couldn't help but feel quite surprised, and muttered to himself, "This crazy woman, is she not pregnant?" ”

Then he patted his head and said, "Even if you are not pregnant, there is no need to really send troops!" Don't even have this big picture? ”

He was also very resentful of Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops.

But no matter how deep the resentment is, it only turns into a sigh in the end, "Woman, it's really an animal that can't be guessed by common sense......"

He remembered the four words "resigned to fate" that Li Xiushu said when she left Changsha, but he didn't expect that this woman would really believe in this so-called fate.

This really doesn't look like the calm and rational Lee so-sook.

"What are you muttering?"

Wu Amiao next to her blinked her eyes and looked at Zhao Dongting with puzzlement.

Zhao Dongting smiled angrily: "The conquest of women in bed failed." Now she wants her to help, but she doesn't miss the old love. ”

"Shh

Wu Amiao glanced at Zhao Dongting when she heard this, her eyes were full of disdain, "Then two days ago, you drank too much and bragged to me that you are unparalleled in the world in the room?" The ten maidens of the night are all right? ”

He is probably the last person in the Great Song Dynasty who regards Zhao Dongting as the emperor. Even if it is Bai Yuchan, he is not as bold as him.

Zhao Dongting glared, "You think I blew it, she was paralyzed into mud at that time." Who would have thought that she would not recognize people when she put on her clothes? ”

"Such a woman should be taught a hard lesson! Do you want me to help you pick her up? ”

Wu Amiao said very angrily, and then suddenly thought of something, blinked his eyes and said: "But you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, what woman can still let you ask for help with a shy face?" ”

Zhao Dongting shrugged and said, "Empress Li Xiushu of Western Xia, or ...... You go to the Xixia Palace and help me whip her twice? ”

Wu Amiao rolled her eyes and shrunk her neck, "You think I'm an old birthday star who eats arsenic, and I think I'm long-lived!" ”

Zhao Dongting looked at him and laughed.

Then he sat down on the bed and shouted outside: "Xuanxin pigeon raising Si Yi Gonggong is here!" ”

After that, he worked the bookcase.

At present, the navy of the Yuan Dynasty is about to move, but Li Xiushu refuses to send troops. He had to make adjustments to his strategy.

Because if it continues like this, the Great Song Dynasty will be overwhelmed.

When Yi Shiyu arrived at the imperial study, Zhao Dongting had already written the secret letter, "Send these two letters to Chongqing Mansion and Dazhou respectively!" ”
