Chapter 683

Seeing Renduo Zongbao leave the hall without stopping, Wei Ming Ah Wu scolded a few more times, and then angrily brushed his sleeves away.

Li Qianshun, who had already returned to the dormitory, naturally someone reported the conversation between the two to his ears, heard the scolding between the two, and was using a brush to practice the pen with outrageously complicated strokes of the Xixia characters.

Li Qianshun's gaze suddenly coldened. "It seems that Ren Duoqing is the real loyal minister, before, I mislooked at him as Ah Wu."

"Okay, you guys keep an eye on Wei Ming Ah Wu for me, who he's going to see these days, and I've tried to find out, understand?" Li Qianshun's gaze fell on the head of the guard.

After the head of the guard respectfully accepted the order and left, Li Qianshun still had the heart to practice calligraphy, put down the pen irritably, sat aside, thought about it for a while, and simply asked the eunuch to go to find Ren Duozong to protect him immediately.

After doing all this, Li Qianshun still couldn't calm down, still restless, like a trapped beast, and continued to walk around the dormitory.

After a short time, Renduo Zongbao hurried over, and after saluting respectfully, he waited for Li Qianshun to speak.

"Ren Duoqing, those conditions mentioned by the envoys of Northern Liao, you can talk to me carefully." Li Qianshun did not delay, and asked straightforwardly.

"Your Majesty, there are seven conditions for Northern Liao, the first is that Western Xia is a vassal to Northern Liao, and the second is that Western Xia must pay tribute to Northern Liao every year, ten thousand quintals of salt, and a thousand good horses, and the third is ......" Renduo Zongbao said the conditions given by Northern Liao one by one.

Every time he heard this, Li Qianshun's eyebrows jumped, but what relieved him a little was that the conditions in Northern Liao seemed to be harsh, but the problem was that it did not hurt the Western Xia country.

In terms of the amount of wealth claimed, it will not make the Western Xia hurt the muscles and bones, but there is one, the land, and the Northern Liao has taken a fancy to the land of the Hetao that the Western Xia occupied.

For more than 100 years, there was Yanzhou in the south and Hetao in the north, both of which were the largest sources of tax in Xixia, and more importantly, the land of Hetao, with fertile soil for thousands of miles, fertile water and grass, was the most suitable for grazing.

There are three grazing areas in Western Xia, one is the grassland between Jianing Junsi and Yanzhou in the south, one is a large plateau grassland from Xingqing Province to the west, and the other is the Hetao area.

The grasslands of Jianingjun and Yanzhou are the smallest grazing areas, which can only accommodate two or three hundred thousand head of livestock, while the plateau grasslands of Hetao and Xingqingfu are much larger.

But the problem is that although the plateau grassland in the west of Xingqing Province is also very vast, it is not suitable for planting, but the small grazing area of the Jianing Military Division and the Hetao area are good places for both farming and grazing.

But now, the military divisions of Yanzhou and Jianing have been lost, and this pastoral area has been lost, but fortunately, the Hetao is still there, and with the Hetao, Western Xia still has the capital to recover its vitality.

As for the seizure of Yanzhou, the salt pond fell into the hands of the Song State, but the Western Xia could still mine salt in the salt lake on the grassland west of Xingqing Mansion, although the road was much farther away, but after all, it did not make the Western Xia have the worry of salt shortage.

"The land of the Hetao, the size cannot be allowed, if the Hetao is lost, my Western Xia will have no foundation for the country." After Li Qianshun listened, he was categorical.

Renduo Zongbao was in his heart and respectfully accepted the order. Li Qianshun said while thinking. "As for the other conditions, they can be discussed, but I also have one condition, that is, I hope that the Liao State will come forward and persuade the Song State and me to stop fighting in Great Xia. And then there is the release of prisoners of war......"

"As for the land occupied by the Song Kingdom, if it can be recovered, it will be needed, but this possibility is too low...... But it doesn't matter, in the future, when I return to the peak of Great Xia, I will go and get it myself. ”

Rinda Sobao hurriedly bowed to the ground. "Your Majesty's dragon power is rare in the world, and at that time, the minister is willing to be a pawn for Your Majesty."

"Ren Duoqing, please get up quickly, the country is in danger of overturning, I hope Qing can help me, in the future, I will not forget the Renduo family." Li Qianshun hurriedly helped Ren Duozong Bao up, and said with a sincere face.

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if the minister is full of liver and brain, he will definitely repay His Majesty's kindness. If His Majesty has nothing else to explain, the minister will go to find the envoy of the Liao State. Nita-supo nodded heavily and replied.

"Don't worry, there is one more thing, my marriage letter, let's pass it on to the Liao envoy...... This can be regarded as a sign of my sincerity to the Liao State. Li Qianshun beckoned, and soon, a eunuch brought a wooden box and respectfully handed it to the hand of Narenduo Zongbao.

Nitamune couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Your Majesty, with this marriage letter, the minister's grasp will be greater, and in this way, Beiliao will definitely do his best to help Your Majesty."

"Well, let's go, I hope to hear the good news of Ren Duoqing earlier, and when the time comes, the marriage envoy to the Liao Kingdom, you can see who is suitable and tell me."

After seeing the joyful Renduo Zongbao leave, Li Qianshun let out a long breath, leaned back on the couch a little tiredly, and squinted his eyes and calculated.

As long as he and the clan daughter of the Northern Liao form a husband and wife, in this way, if the various ethnic groups in the country have different intentions and want to establish another national lord, even if they are weak, but the various ethnic groups must first weigh the consequences of provoking the Northern Liao.

Wait until after your marriage, and then consolidate your power, your position as the lord of the country will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai, and at that time, when Daxia recovers its vitality, you will be able to take care of it.

"Your lord has agreed to my Da Liao's conditions?" Xiao Donghe, the envoy of Northern Liao, saw the marriage letter handed over by Renduo Zongbao, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Previously, although Li Qianshun also intentionally agreed to intermarry with Northern Liao, this Li Qianshun asked to be a genuine princess. is not a clan girl, after all, in Li Qianshun's eyes, a clan girl is at most a county lord and the like.

Compared with the princess, it is a big grade worse, and Beiliao's approach is simply to treat him as a courtier, which makes him very unhappy in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that the marriage contract has not been reached for a long time, and I never thought that all of a sudden, the lord of Western Xia actually figured it out by himself.

I'm afraid that this is here, it should have a lot to do with the fact that Na Xixia suffered another defeat. Of course, Xiao Donghe, the envoy of Northern Liao, did not have Chiguoguo's pick, but carefully took the marriage letter with a smile, and then treasured it for his subordinates, so that it could be sent to the imperial capital of Northern Liao.

"Lord Zongbao, this time you came over, is it your majesty, has you already made up your mind?" Seeing that the marriage certificate had been collected, Xiao Donghe let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Renduo Zongbao in front of him with a smile and asked.

"Except for the fourth point, other issues can be discussed." Nita-Sobao took a deep breath and looked sharply at the negotiator.
