It's dawn again.

In Changsha City, Zhao Dongting handled government affairs in the imperial study.

The officials who were imprisoned in various places and related to the rebels have been beheaded and exiled. The list was on his desk at this time.

And in addition to these, there is naturally a flying pigeon message from Yuanzhong.

The letter was passed on by Zhou Xingyan.

This is also the thing that makes Zhao Dongting feel the most.

He pinched the secret letter sent back by Zhou Xingyan in his hand, and had been reading it for a long time by this time.

Kublai Khan actually wanted to marry Turandot to him. This not only made Zhou Xingyan feel puzzled, but even Zhao Dongting himself felt incredible.

Why?

Could it be that with Kublai Khan's character, he would naively think that he would give up his attack on the Yuan Dynasty just because of Turandot?

Will the Yuan army continue to be eyeing the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty?

This is really wrong Zhao Dongting.

Maybe Zhao Dongting would choose a thief to love beauty and not love the country before he was hurt in his previous life, but now, he will never be.

He knew how much courage he had on his shoulders.

This is related to the lives of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty.

Unless Le Chan is dead......

Only Zhao Dongting thought about it, even if Le Chan was forced to die, he probably wouldn't choose to ignore the country, right?

He thought of the old men on the island.

He has the responsibility to create a brilliant and prosperous era for these veterans and the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

So speaking of which, even if Turandot marries, whether he will fall in love with Turandot or not is not that important.

And Zhao Dongting felt that he should not fall in love with Turandot.

After a long period of silence, he wrote back to Zhou Xingyan, "I wish Naturrandot to be a concubine!" Negotiate and reach a peace, let the Yuan army withdraw immediately! ”

He really didn't want to fight anymore.

Because now Liu Zhuwen and others have already led a large army to attack, and after a short time, Zhao Dongting also plans to lay out the destruction of the New Song Dynasty, so that Duan Qilin is completely cornered.

This also has no energy to continue to compete with the Yuan army in northern Xinjiang.

The battle of the army needs to be piled up with money and food. Now the Great Song Dynasty is already under a heavy load, and if it fights the Three Kingdoms alone, it will also shake the country's foundation.

Of course, Zhao Dongting didn't want to see the foundation he had built with great difficulty regressing again.

Soon, there were carrier pigeons in the imperial city of Changsha rising to the sky and heading towards the capital of Yuanzhong.

Zhao Dongting also planned to leave the imperial study and go back to the dormitory.

It was only not far from when he just walked out of the imperial study, but he met Zhongsun Guge, the envoy of the Western Xia Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, hurrying with his head down.

Zhao Dongting was slightly puzzled and asked, "Lord Zhongsun is here to see me?" ”

Zhongsun Guge raised his head, saw that it was Zhao Dongting, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Zhongsun Guge has seen the Great Song Emperor!" ”

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

His attitude was far from warm.

Obviously, Li Xiushu refused to send troops to help twice. Zhao Dongting still has some resentment in his heart now.

He had already received a letter that the troops of the New Song Dynasty had returned to the territory of Tongchuanfu Road through the Lizhou East Road. If it weren't for Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops, it would have been impossible for these new Song troops to go back.

Of course, Zhongsun Guge could hear the coldness in Zhao Dongting's tone, and his face couldn't help but be a little sneering.

If he wasn't the envoy of Western Xia to the Song Dynasty, he really didn't want to come to see Zhao Dongting.

Even he felt that the empress was really a little inauthentic this time.

But as a courtier, there is no way.

After a little silence, Zhongsun Guge arched his hand and said to Zhao Dongting: "Zhongsun Guge is ordered by the emperor to ask to see Emperor Song. Something...... We need your help. ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "You Western Xia Empress is so capable, what else do you need the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Zhongsun Guge gritted his teeth and simply confessed: "Zhongsun Guge knows that Emperor Song is quite dissatisfied with our emperor not sending troops to help him twice, but Zhongsun Guge still asks Emperor Song not to be angry first. For the first time, the emperor of my dynasty was reluctant to send troops to help, because the Great Song Dynasty was not in a desperate situation, and Zhongsun Guge did not dare to think more, nor did he dare to argue anything for the emperor. Only this time, Emperor Song, you asked me to send troops to the emperor to block the return of the new Song army, and it is really understandable that my emperor chose to refuse. ”

Zhao Dongting's eyes showed a rather playful look, "What's the reason?" ”

Zhongsun Guge said: "This is also why I came to ask Emperor Song to see you. I didn't send troops to the emperor, but it was because of Pang Hongguang on Lizhou East Road, and I didn't really want the empress. ”

"Oh?"

This really surprised Zhao Dongting, "Pang Hongguang, as a minister, voted for your Western Xia, why didn't he really surrender to your emperor?" ”

Zhongsun Guge said: "My emperor has already learned about it...... Pang Hongguang is actually a pawn of Dali. It is very likely that he is a person from the Guigu Academy. ”

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned.

Pang Hongguang is a person from the Guigu Academy?

That is the chess piece that the Guigu Academy Palace arranged in the Yuan Dynasty early?

It's just that what is the intention of the Guigu Academy Palace to let Pang Hongguang and others choose to abandon Yuan and join Xia?

Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty defeated the Yuan army one after another, so the Guigu Academy wanted to bury this dark thunder in the Western Xia as an ally of the Great Song Dynasty?

When you think about it, this is a real possibility.

Zhao Dongting's thoughts gradually became clear.

The layout of the Guigu Academy Palace is really far-sighted......

It's just that they probably didn't think that because the failure of this attack on Song would make them have to expose Pang Hongguang's chess piece, right?

Coming back to his senses, Zhao Dongting asked Zhongsun Guge: "Then you came this time to let me send troops to help you really take the Lizhou East Road in Western Xia?" ”

Zhongsun Guge said: "Not only that, but also Lizhou West Road. There are even Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road, and I want to take them all down in one fell swoop. ”

"Huh."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Then what's the benefit of me?" If I remember correctly, the east and west roads of Lizhou were originally the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and you asked me to send troops to help you take these two roads in Western Xia, and then give them to you? If you were the emperor, do you think you would easily agree? ”

Zhongsun Guge frowned slightly, "Then dare to ask Emperor Song what he wants?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "What I want, can't you guess?" ”

Zhongsun Guge's brows furrowed even deeper, "I have already explained to the emperor that my subordinates, if Emperor Song wants the east and west roads of Lizhou, let me refuse." Because my Xixia land is narrow, the east and west roads of Lizhou are also very important. The emperor also said...... Emperor Song, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. Because, she ...... Her fate with you has arrived. ”

When he said the latter sentence, Zhongsun Guge's expression looked very strange.

He really didn't know what Lee so-sook meant by this.

Although he had occasionally heard that Li Xiushu had something to do with the Great Song Emperor in the Imperial City of Changsha, he didn't think it would be true.

Who are they, the Empress of Western Xia?

What reason is there to have a relationship with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

And the age gap between the two is still so big.

This can only show that although Zhongsun Guge is a capable minister, he may not know much about women's hearts.

And Zhao Dongting was a little stunned when he heard Zhongsun Guge's words.

Of course, he knew what Lee so-sook meant.

It must be Li Xiushu who is pregnant with her own child......

It's just that just because Li Xiushu is pregnant with her own child, did she send troops to help Li Xiushu for free?

What if Lee so-sook puts forward more conditions in the future?

Zhao Dongting's brows furrowed deeply.

Flesh and blood, he can't do it without care. is only in the position of the emperor, but he has too many things to measure.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Dongting said to Zhongsun Guge again: "Then your emperor, aren't you willing to give me even the slightest benefit?" ”

Zhongsun Guge said: "My emperor is willing to form a permanent ally with the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and after this matter is completed, the Great Song Dynasty will wave his army to attack the New Song Dynasty, and the emperor will send troops to the New Song Dynasty." The Great Song Dynasty waved its army to attack Dayuan, and the emperor also sent troops to Dayuan. ”

Zhao Dongting smashed his mouth, his eyes were playful.

Lee so-sook: This is really a good idea to fight.

Just an empty promise, let yourself send troops to help her.

Moreover, after the fall of the New Song and Yuan dynasties, what should happen to the Song and Xia dynasties?

was just thinking about it, but suddenly a thought popped up in Zhao Dongting's mind.

Damn it!

Wu Amiao's goods are now in the Western Xia Imperial City, right?

Should he really be able to spank Lee so-sook's ass?

He suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, and his heart was also a little strange.
