Chapter 248: Xingqing Mansion
At this moment, in Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, it is still a singing and dancing appearance!
Xingqing Mansion is the Yinchuan of later generations!
During the Tang Dynasty, this was the territory of the Han people! In the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong built a county here, Huaiyuan County! After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it was abolished as a town!
After the rise of the Western Xia Dangxiang, they seized Lingzhou in the Song Dynasty and changed Lingzhou to Xiping Mansion, and Lingzhou was the ruling center of Western Xia! After the Western Xia Emperor Li Deming ascended the throne, Li Deming thought that Xiping Mansion was located in the land of Sisai, which was not conducive to defense, and the situation in Huaiyuan was not as favorable! So Li Deming recruited 100,000 people to cross the Yellow River and establish a new city in Huaiyuan, named Xingzhou! After Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he built a palace city here and named it Xingqing Mansion! After a hundred years, the capital of Western Xia was here!
The scale of this Xingqing Mansion is very large, although it is not as good as Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty, Shangjing in the Liao State and other places, but it is far more than the cities in Guanshan! Chang'an in Guanshan was originally the center of the world, but unfortunately after the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms experienced war again, and now Chang'an is no longer comparable to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia! Historically, after Genghis Khan unified the steppe, the first attack was Western Xia! However, with the strength of the Mongols' soldiers, they could not take down Xingqing Mansion! Genghis Khan personally commanded the battle, and it took two months in vain, so he had to retreat to the steppe! The scale of this Xingqing Mansion and the solidity of the city can be seen!
There are more than 400,000 people here, ordinary people live on the edge of the city, and their lives are also very difficult! However, the more you go inside, the more grand the buildings inside become, and the people living in them range from wealthy merchants to officials, until the innermost, which is where the palace city of Western Xia is located! This is a city within a city, with dozens of palaces, countless attics, and four huge imperial gardens in the south, east, west, and northwest in this palace city! The main hall of the palace is called Yinchuan Palace, where the emperor of Western Xia dealt with political affairs and entertained foreign guests!
The east of Western Xia is already full of war, but at this moment, the capital of Western Xia has not yet received news!
At this moment in the Yinchuan Palace, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun is entertaining a distinguished guest!
Li Qianshun is over forty years old, but he is extremely energetic! He is the "Ming Jun" in the history of Western Xia, when the Jin soldiers invaded the south, he took refuge in the Jin State and avoided the destruction of Western Xia! Moreover, he took advantage of the great war between Jin Bing and Liao, and obtained a lot of territory from the western part of Liao, and the land area of Western Xia was greatly enhanced! Moreover, Li Qianshun vigorously promoted sinicization, starting from him, the system of Western Xia was exactly the same as the system of the Han people, and the civilization of Western Xia also entered its heyday! Of course, later Ren had to respect the country, and Xixia plummeted, this is a later story!
The living conditions in the palace are excellent, so Li Qianshun looks like a thirty-year-old young man at the moment!
In addition to Li Qianshun, dozens of civil and military ministers of Western Xia are here!
There were only two people sitting in the palace, one was Li Qianshun, and the other was a Jurchen next to Li Qianshun!
This Jurchen's body is very tall, his skin is extremely dark, and his eyes are like electricity! He sat next to Li Qianshun, the expression on his face was unusually arrogant, Li Qianshun didn't think it was angry, but accompanied by a smiling face!
Because Li Qianshun knows that the identity of this Jurchen is not simple!
This Jurchen is Wanyan Zonggan, the eldest son of the Jurchen founding emperor Wanyan Aguta! But it's a pity that he is a concubine, not a concubine! In ancient times, the status of the concubine was far inferior to that of the concubine! Therefore, although Wanyan Zonggan is older, his status is not as good as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi and others! Of course, Wanyan Aguta's sons are all extraordinary, and the same is true for Wanyan Zonggan! Although this person has never commanded an army, he has extremely high political talents! He has enveloped ministers in the court, as if he can already compete with military giants!
Historically, this person spent decades accumulating strength, and when he died, his son Wan Yanliang inherited the resources in his father's hands! After that, Wan Yanliang brazenly usurped the throne and ascended the throne as the emperor, which was the fourth emperor of the Jurchens! Wanyan Liang is famous in history, and his ability to be the emperor has a lot to do with the strength that Wanyan Sect has accumulated at the beginning!
At this moment, Wanyan Zonggan was sitting next to Li Qianshun, he looked at Li Qianshun beside him, and looked at the ministers of Western Xia civil and military affairs below, with a disdainful light in his eyes! In his opinion, the Tangut people were just a vicious dog subdued by the Jurchens! If it weren't for the barrenness of Western Xia, I'm afraid that the Jurchens would have already marched west and laid down Western Xia! The current strategic direction of the Jurchens is the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has a prosperous economy and a large population, and the occupation of the Great Song Dynasty is much more significant than the occupation of Western Xia!
"Lord Wanyan, we in Xixia have made all the preparations! Hundreds of thousands of troops have been assembled, and they can go south at any time and enter Guanshan! Xia Chongzong Li Qian said.
"Oh? I heard that you Tanguts secretly contacted the emperor of the Han people, but is there such a thing? Wanyan Zonggan sneered and said.
"This ......" Li Qianshun was shocked in his heart, he did send Li Qianming, the king of Jin, to the south to deliver the letter of state, he didn't know that Wanyan Zonggan knew the news so much!
He didn't know that there were many people in the current Western Xia court who secretly communicated with the Jurchens and transmitted the news of the Western Xia to the Jurchen country, so Wanyan Zonggan knew all about this!
"Humph! You go south with us, and when the time comes, Western Xia and our Dajin will divide Guanxi equally, and we will not treat you badly! If you have other thoughts, we Daikin will not be polite to you! Wanyan Zong said coldly.
"I understand!" Li Qianshun sighed softly and said.
"This time, your Western Xia came down from the north, our Dajin Kingdom marched from the east, and there were also hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han Emperor in Jiangnan who marched with us! Caught in on three sides, Guan Shaanxi will inevitably be occupied by us! After occupying Guanshan, we continued south into Hanzhong, then Sichuan and Shu, and then from Sichuan and Shu down the river into Jiangnan! When the time comes, the whole world will belong to our Dajin Kingdom! You Western Xia can also always establish a country in the northwest, and the national fortune will not fail! "Wanyan Sect trunk road.
His eyes are shining, and he has his own considerations for the next general trend of the world! He was very confident in his heart, he believed that the Jurchens would definitely be able to defeat the Han people and occupy the world! As for what to do with Western Xia after occupying the world, this is already another question! But now, he still needs to appease Xixia so that Xixia can march with them!
Li Qianshun nodded beside him!
He originally wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between Zhao Chen and the Jurchen and King Kang to get enough benefits from Zhao Chen, and even the Xixia family to occupy the entire Guanshan! At that time, the strength of Western Xia increased greatly, and to some extent, it could get rid of its dependence on Jurchen, but now it seems that it will not work! Wanyan Zonggan came here in person, this person is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguta, even if he is a concubine, his status is better than him, the emperor of Western Xia, he does not dare to slack off! Under the surveillance of Wanyan Zonggan, he could only do what the Jurchens said!
However, when attacking from three sides, how to strive for the greatest interests, obtain the most territory, and the largest population, he must think well!
"Within this year, Guan Shaanxi will definitely belong to us! Emperor Xuanwu of the Han people will die! Wanyan Zonggan clenched his fists and said with a firm gaze in his eyes!
"It's nature! No country can stand in the way of our three countries! Xia Chongzong said.
The ministers of civil and military affairs below also nodded yes, in their opinion, the demise of Guan Shaanxi and the demise of Zhao Chen are inevitable, and now what needs to be considered is what happens after the demise of Zhao Chen!
However, at this time, the door of Miyagi was wide open, and a person was hurriedly running in the direction of Yinchuan Palace!
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Wei! His Royal Highness King Wei, what happened? Are you so anxious? The eunuch next to him was about to intercept, and suddenly saw the appearance of this person, it turned out that this person was Li Renli, the cousin of Li Qianshun of Xia Chongzong, the king of Western Xia! At that moment, the eunuch hurriedly asked!
"Urgent military situation at the border! The stakes are high, and I want to see Your Majesty immediately! Li Renli said.
Hearing that it was an "emergency military situation", the eunuch was also taken aback, and he didn't dare to ask more, just watched Li Renli run all the way towards Yinchuan Palace!
******
"Lord Wanyan, it's already noon, and I have already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare dishes, and you and I will eat together?" In the Yinchuan Palace, Xia Chongzong had already stood up at this moment and said.
"Good!" Wanyan Zonggan nodded.
At that moment, the two of them had already stood up and walked down together, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were standing aside at this moment!
At this time, Li Renli broke into the Yinchuan Palace!
"Renli? What happened? Why are you here now? Xia Chongzong almost collided with Li Renli, he frowned and said.
"Your Majesty! Big things are not good! The Song army invaded, Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Jianing have all been broken by the Song army, and now I am afraid that Yanzhou has also been broken by the Song army! The stakes are so high that my brother has to report it immediately! Li Renli said.
What the!
For a while, Xia Chongzong stayed there, Wanyan Zonggan also stayed there, and the ministers of the court stayed there one after another!
