Chapter 151 Add a fire to Western Xia
But at the same time, Liu Mo received a secret letter from Zhao Zhi, that is, he temporarily promised the Western Xia to sue for peace, once the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia peace talks, it would inevitably anger the Liao State Yelu Longxu, and the Liao State might send troops to attack the Western Xia.
So let Yelu Longxu beat Xixia, why not do it? It only needs to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the Great Song Dynasty only needs to pay a small price, but it can weaken the strength of the two countries at the same time.
So the Western Xia envoys went to Bianjing, and it happened that the Buddha slaughtering order of the Great Song Dynasty came to an end for the time being, and all that was left was to count the land of the people occupied by the Buddhist temple, as well as the equivalent money of the Golden Buddha and the Bronze Buddha.
In just three days, a rough count of 1.2 billion yuan of Buddhist temple incense money, equivalent to the treasury income of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, the only regret is that Zhao Zhi is not in Bianjing, otherwise they can 'celebrate' together in the palace.
It is still the imperial study room in front of the Great Song Palace, but it is precisely the place where the Empress Dowager Liu Mo's daily small court meeting is held, and a big court meeting is held in the Imperial Chengming Palace every five days, and Zhao Yi is simply unwell, and he doesn't even need to go to the court.
The real Megatron world, the phoenix is in the world, and he holds the entire Great Song Dynasty, but it is a pity that Zhao Zhi is not in Bianjing City, which also makes Liu Mo only feel that he is missing something, and he has no interest in wanting to be high-spirited.
Inside the Imperial Study.
The huge golden phoenix spreads its wings, and the dragon robe of Liu Moth on the phoenix seat is beautiful, and the light is endless.
The two palace maids who are waiting on the left and the right at any time, and the eunuch Guo Huai, who is in charge on the left and the right in front of him, is separated from Yin Yurou, who is equivalent to Shangguan Wan'er.
In the middle of the imperial study below, it is where Bao Zheng and other courtiers stand, and now even the seats of the prime minister and privy envoy are gone, even if the prime minister Wang Yanyi enters the imperial study now, he can only stand and reply, and there can no longer be a Taishi chair to sit on as before.
As for the privy envoy, it is temporarily vacant, but the accurate position of the privy envoy has been vacated by Zhao Zhi and Liu Mo, and the military power of the Great Song Dynasty is really in the hands of Zhao Zhi, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty are almost all in the hands of Zhao Zhi alone, even if Zhao Zhi is currently in Western Xia.
As long as Zhao Zhi gives an order, Liu Mo will do whatever it takes to pour the troops of the Great Song Dynasty into Western Xia, but in case of safety considerations in the future, both Zhao Zhi and Liu Mo simply hold their troops for the time being.
Of course, at the same time, Zhao Zhi also wanted to take a look in Xixia, maybe he added a fire at the right time, and Xixia would be over, as long as Li Yuanhao died, Xixia would be dead.
Because it is obvious now, Brother Ning Ling should get married soon, and when Brother Ning Ling got married, when he was green by his father, he was robbed of his wife by Li Yuanhao on the spot, and pushed it at the wedding banquet.
Then when Li Yuanhao died and the Western Xia was in turmoil, it was the time to really send troops to the Western Xia, and then the Western Xia could be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, which was the reason why Zhao Zhi really couldn't help but want to stay more.
So in the imperial study, even if Zhao Zhi was not there, the 1.2 billion yuan of incense money still made Liu Mo couldn't help but be excited, Yin Yurou couldn't help but be excited, and Guo Huai was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble.
Only Bao Zheng stood respectfully in the imperial study first, knowing the astronomical figure of 1.2 billion yuan, he couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't believe it! How much incense money did the Buddhism of the Western Regions exploit the people in the Great Song Dynasty?
Liu Mo said directly: "Bao Zheng, 1.2 billion yuan of incense money, but it is not a small number, if it is handed over to the third division to take care of, it may appear everywhere where money is needed;
Or which prince wants to repair the palace or something, but when the time comes, he is afraid that the mourning family will not know what is going on, and the 1.2 billion guan will be spent again, as if the treasury was empty, but the mourning family knows nothing; Flying Library
Lord Zhao once said a sentence to the mourning family, take it from the people, use it for the people! Lord Zhao's goal is to create an unprecedented prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty, so the mourning family decided that the 1.2 billion yuan will be taken care of by Bao Zhengyou. ”
Finally, it was Bao Zheng's composure, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but tremble his hands slightly, and instantly heard the deep meaning of the Queen Mother, which was after the throne of the Great Song Dynasty Privy Envoy was set up, and he was ready to grasp the 'Three Divisions' in his hands.
That is, one hand grasps the military power of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other hand grasps the financial power of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the treasury in charge of the three divisions is out of money, but the imperial city guard already has an independent 'three divisions', and he is the household department Shangshu who is in charge of money with one hand.
But no matter what, Zhao Zhi and Liu Mo are both for the country and the people, but there is no reason to refuse, especially the trust of his brother Zhao Zhi, and the trust of the Queen Mother, who has obviously had a relationship with her brother Zhao Zhi.
So he was only slightly surprised, so he bowed a little deeper, and said categorically: "Minister, lead the order!" ”
The three divisions, if the money in charge of the three divisions has a treasury income of 100 million guan a year, then the imperial city guard only needs to pay a part of the money, but he can have a net income of more than 700 million yuan per year, and he does not need to pay the money of the hundred officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
But he didn't want the words to fall, but Liu Mo continued: "Another point is that you arrange to spread the news of the collection of 1.2 billion pieces of incense money;
Just let the officials know, let the people of the world know, especially the Liaoguo, Xixia, and Dali, but don't admit it on the bright side, do you understand the meaning of mourning? ”
With Bao Zheng's wisdom and wisdom, he instantly understood that one could prove that Lord Zhao's Buddha slaughter order was right, and that Buddhism that could tell the world how much incense money the people of the Great Song Dynasty had received from the people of the Western Regions;
The second is to have an excuse to refuse that a certain prince of the Zhao family wants to repair the palace, and then stretch out his hand to the court to ask for money, this time if he wants money, he can only ask the imperial city guard, but the imperial city guard will not admit it.
In the future, there will be a lot of princes for nothing? After staying in the palace for a few days, Zhao Zhi had already discussed it with Liu Mo, it was impossible! Of course, he didn't say it directly, but only said that the Great Song Dynasty didn't raise a waste prince who waited for death.
Then the potential meaning is already obvious, but what exactly is the 'potential meaning', Liu Mo doesn't guess, because no matter what Zhao Zhi thinks, even if he is really the emperor, he will also support it.
So Bao Zheng still didn't want to think about it, so he bowed down and said, "The minister understands." ”
Liu Mo continued to ask: "Who is the envoy from Western Xia this time?" Bao Zheng, do you know? ”
Bao Zheng has become the second-in-command of the Great Song Dynasty spy agency on behalf of Zhao Zhi, and he already knew it when he heard it, and said directly: "It is the uncle of Li Yuanhao of Western Xia, who served as the military envoy of the left wing in Western Xia, and because he was in favor of Song Xia peace with Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, he came as an envoy to seek peace." ”
Liu Mo also nodded when he heard this: "Lord Zhao has sent a message, so that the mourning family agrees to this peace, and at the same time gives Li Yuanhao a surname Zhao."
Guo Huai, you hold the edict of the mourning family, let Wang Yanying be in charge of the peace talks, the Great Song Dynasty can use 250,000 silver, silk, and tea per year to give the Western Xia, and allow the restoration of the field, and agree that the Western Xia envoys will engage in trading in the Great Song Dynasty Bianjing City Pavilion Station;
However, Li Yuanhao had to be a vassal to Song in the name of the Western Xia lord, and at the same time, the mourning family gave him the surname Zhao, which was the only condition for peace talks. ”
