Chapter 458: The Great Song Dynasty's "Congratulatory Gift"

The party is a country, called Daxia.

And the Song people have no good impression of the white-eyed wolf of the party, because it is located west of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is called Western Xia.

Recently, there has been a lot of controversy in the court about the Western Xia, and after the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty, it was on an equal footing with the Great Song Dynasty, which was something that no matter how much literature and military could not accept, after all, a tribe that once belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty suddenly declared independence in the land of the Great Song Dynasty one day.

In the thoughts of the Song people, the land of the party still belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, which is why the Great Song Dynasty did not recognize the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty before, and now Li Yuanhao openly proclaimed himself emperor, which gave the National Prestige of the Great Song Dynasty a big blow.

The founding of the Western Xia State not only set off a storm in the court, but even the people also stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

In fact, the contradiction between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty has never stopped, when Li Mingde besieged Yanzhou City, and then the Great Song Dynasty conquered the land of the two states in the Western Expedition, and then there was constant friction, today you kill a few border people, tomorrow I will kill you a few rangers.

Now that the country has been established, this can annoy the people of the Great Song Dynasty, under the influence of Zhao Zhen's thoughts, the party in the hearts of the Song people is the Dingyan Army that has been living in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and he Li Yuanhao is also a king of Xiping after Li Mingde.

This is a naked rebellion, a rebellion!

The people on the street were criticizing the Western Xia who had just established the country, but the envoys of the Western Xia didn't care at all, and even asked the Great Song Dynasty to provide the Western Xia with the same treatment as the Liao Dynasty, arrange the capital pavilion post and special delivery channels, and let the Great Song Dynasty give ice charcoal money.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and there was such a shameless person?

The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty rebuked one after another, and Pang Ji trembled and pointed to the Western Xia envoy: "Presumptuous! As long as I don't recognize your party status one day, your party will always be a party item, and it will always be my Great Song Dynasty's difficult army, Li Yuanhao established himself as the emperor, not to mention that the people and courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty did not agree, and even His Majesty, who has always been lenient, would not agree, and today he dared to stand in this glorious hall and ask for the treatment of such a dynasty, wishful thinking! ”

Pang Ji's words reached the hearts of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and a group of civil and military generals opened their mouths to refute one after another, and even the imperial history of the palace, which was supposed to maintain the discipline of the court, followed the crusade.

Ding Wei didn't say a word, he was unwell these days, and he had to be busy with the errand of the three divisions, it was not good to rest, today he didn't want to get involved in this senseless battle with Dao, in Ding Wei's view, the establishment of the Western Xia country is a matter of time, and the sooner the country is established, the sooner the country can be dealt with the Western Xia.

Ding Wei saw it very accurately, and Zhao Zhen, who was the leader, also planned to do so, and now the foundation of the Western Xia State was that he won a large area of land by attacking the Western Regions, but Zhao Zhen was not optimistic about the value of these lands.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing and shouting, Zhao Zhen said unexpectedly: "I know the meaning of the envoys of the Western Xia, the Western Xia wants the same treatment as the Liao Dynasty, this is naturally no problem, you Xixia established a country, it is not too much to ask for these treatments, I am approved, and I will go to Honglu Temple tomorrow to withdraw it." ”

The envoy of Western Xia looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise, he didn't expect the Song Emperor to be so easy to speak, the previous Ning Lingye Li Yu beggar always said that the Great Song Emperor was extremely intelligent, not an ordinary emperor, I didn't think it would be.

The Western Xia demanded the same treatment as the Liao Dynasty not for that bit of money and the house, but it meant that the Western Xia and the Liao Dynasty were on an equal footing, once the Song Emperor agreed, it was that the Western Xia was recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, and even this point could not be seen, and the intelligence of the Great Song Emperor was nothing more than that.

Zhao Zhen saw the contempt hidden under the obedient appearance of the Western Xia envoy, the corners of his mouth were about to twitch, and he sneered for a while and said: "It's okay, you can go down, this is the court of the Great Song Dynasty and has nothing to do with your party." ”

The Western Xia envoy had just bowed down and pushed out of the palace gate when he heard the official of the Great Song Dynasty say again: "That Western Xia envoy is back, I still have something to say." ”

The Western Xia envoy could only return helplessly, bowed down and asked, "I don't know what else Your Majesty has to ask the foreign minister to do?" ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, but the Great Song Dynasty will never want your Xixia green salt from today on." ”

For a while, the envoy of Western Xia froze in place without knowing it, don't you want the green salt of Western Xia? It's such a simple thing to summon yourself back, it's just a little green salt, don't want it, who else can you scare?

In the envoy's heart, he took this seriously, the transaction between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia was not only green salt, but also cattle, sheep and horses and the like, although the Great Song Dynasty no longer needed the horses of the Western Xia, but this did not have any effect, and this time the green salt would not affect the Western Xia as it was at the beginning.

After the envoy retreated, Zhao Zhen stopped talking, of course, the courtiers wanted to express their dissatisfaction, and at the same time, they did not understand why the official family agreed to the Western Xia so easily.

Zhao Zhen was not ready to answer their questions, but said to Ding Wei, who was in charge of the Third Division: "From today onwards, not a single grain of Western Xia green salt is allowed to appear in the Great Song Dynasty's field, nor is it allowed to appear a Western Xia military horse!" Be sure to investigate in detail, once you find that you do not comply with the order and still smuggle, you will be killed! ”

Zhao Zhen's murderous words echoed in the Daqing Palace, and the court was shocked for a while, the official family has always been lenient and benevolent, and has never said such unforgivable words, the words of the Son of Heaven are exported into the constitution, and no one will regard these words as the angry words of the official family, but as a holy decree to fulfill.

No one felt that the official ban on the purchase of Western Xia green salt by the Great Song Dynasty had any blow to the Western Xia, this kind of sanction was just a financial commodity, and it was just an itch for the Western Xia people.

Many courtiers questioned Zhao Zhen's decree, believing that if the Great Song Dynasty closed the court, not only would it have no effect, but it would anger the newly established Western Xia Kingdom, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Zhao Zhen smiled and stopped talking, today's Xixia is different from the original party, and the current Xixia is inseparable from the goods of the Great Song Dynasty.

Tea bricks, silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, and even grain all needed to be supplied by the Great Song Dynasty.

The original party members were completely self-sufficient nomads, and they relied very little on borrowed things, and even if they needed something, it was only a small amount, and they could always find a way to solve it.

But now it is different, with the founding of the Western Xia and the proclamation of Li Yuanhao as emperor, a Western Xia country that forms a whole can be different from the original tribes that lived by water and grass.

The conquest of the Western Regions made the Western Xia obtain a large amount of property, but these goods had to be spent to be valuable, and the Liao people traded, the party always suffered a loss, and could only buy goods from the Song people.

Habit is a terrible thing, they rely on the Great Song Dynasty to trade has become a habit, the sudden closure of the field will make the Tangut people slowly uncomfortable, the geographical location of the Tangut determines its limitations, can only be through trade with the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.

Although it is close to Tufan, Tufan is poorer than them, how can there be anything to exchange with Western Xia?

Zhao Zhen is using economic means to sanction Western Xia, and this time the economic sanctions will give a big gift to Li Yuanhao, who has just been proclaimed emperor......
