Li Bigeng, who was forked out of the Shengping Building, was still very flustered at the beginning, as he was actually forked out of the state banquet as a messenger of the Western Xia, and he would definitely not be able to run away from the charge of insulting the national character of the Western Xia, even if Li Qianshun did not cure his crime when he went back, he was afraid that he would be drowned by the Xixia people with spittle stars.

However, after the two Han generals who were holding him hurriedly walked out of the Shengping Building, they did not go in the direction of the forbidden gate, but took him to a palace room next to the Shengping Building that looked like a high-end standard, and suddenly the hanging heart fell back into the stomach.

Thinking about how big the matter of the national gift is, the possibility that Song Ting really dares to gamble is indeed not high!

After entering the palace, the two Han generals also politely invited Li Bigeng to take a seat, and then guarded the door one left and one right. Li Bigeng also calmed down for a while, so he tidied up his robe and waited with peace of mind, and after a while, he saw Li Bangyan coming alone.

When Li Bangyan came in, he saw Li Bigeng's smiling appearance, so he also crossed his hands and said, "I was offended!" ”

"Well said!" Li Bigeng also bowed his hand, and then looked at Li Bangyan and said, "I don't know if the prime minister brought him here, but what did he say?" ”

Li Bangyan smiled when he heard this, then he also sat down, took out a list from his sleeve cage and handed it to Li Bigeng and said: "Little plaything, it can be regarded as a matter of dissipating talents with the Xia envoy, and I hope that the Xia envoy will laugh!" ”

When Li Bigeng heard the results, he also saw that it was a gift list, which read, "A pair of pearl Ruyi embroidery, a pair of green jade jade and jade lions, twelve Suzhou and Hangzhou silk satins, a set of four treasures of Huizhou Imperial Study, and a piece of Yan Wenji's "View of Xishan Building" and so on, but it was also a gift with a full amount of money, and Li Bigeng immediately unceremoniously "smiled" and put the gift list into the sleeve cage.

One more thing to say here, the ancients did not directly put the gift out of the object, but in the form of a gift list to write out the gift to be given to the recipient for the eye, if the recipient is satisfied with the gift or the gift requirements can be done, will accept the gift list, and how to be dissatisfied with the gift list or things can not be done, will return the gift list for various reasons.

In this way, this gift is much more elegant, and it makes people look less mercenary.

Seeing that Li Bigeng happily accepted the gift, Li Bangyan also talked about this person's personality, and immediately said openly and honestly: "In this way, let's talk about business, if my Great Song wants to welcome back the three horses of Xia Guo...... I don't know what to do? ”

Hearing that Li Bangyan didn't call him by his name, but used "the three horses of the Xia Kingdom" to refer to Zhao Chen, the king of Ning, Li Bigeng also cooperated, and said: "The agreement before the Xia and Song Dynasty formed the alliance will not change, in addition...... Please withdraw the Northwest Zhuchang and change the Xingqing Mansion. ”

When Li Bangyan heard this, he immediately frowned, feeling that this was a lion's big mouth.

This so-called alliance between the Xia and Song dynasties was actually proposed at the end of last year, and I don't know where Li Qianshun got the news that Huang Jie went to Goryeo to do things or because of other reasons, after the Western Xia side sent an envoy to enter the Song realm in the name of urging the New Year's gifts, he put forward a proposal to the seed masters in Qinzhou hoping that the Xia and Song Dynasty would form an alliance, and the text of the alliance reported to the Song court showed that the Western Xia side first hoped that the relationship between the two countries could return to the period of Song Renzong and Western Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo, and re-establish a "state of uncle and nephew" with the Great Song Dynasty. (At that time, Song Renzong was an uncle, and Li Liangzuo was a nephew.) ）

This so-called "state of uncle and nephew" should have been an uncle and nephew based on the generational difference between Li Qianshun and Zhao Huan, but now that he has the news that Zhao Chen has become the three horses of Western Xia, he understands that the uncle and nephew mentioned by Li Qianshun at that time originally meant this, but it is not appropriate to see that it is the "state of uncle and nephew", according to Li Qianshun's thoughts, what he wants most is probably the "state of Weng son-in-law", right?

Then, in addition to the "state of uncle and nephew", he also hoped that the Xia and Song dynasties would join forces to attack the Jin State, and also had a great plan for the land distribution after the victory over the Jin State, hoping to transfer all the Jin land from the Datong Mansion of the Jin State to the Linhuang Mansion and the west and south of the North Liao Zhenzhou, and the Western Xia.

Let's not say how much of the area to which this Datong Mansion belongs can be counted within the boundaries of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, just looking for a map to take a look at it, we will know that the so-called "all the land of the Jin Kingdom from the Datong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom to the west of Linhuang Mansion, south of the North Liao Zhenzhou, and the border with the Western Xia" is almost equivalent to covering all the territory of the inner and outer Mongolia of later generations.

Moreover, saying that what kind of Xia and Song Dynasty joined forces to fight gold, and he didn't want an inch of land outside the country, it is estimated that this will deceive three-year-old children, such as Bai Shizhong, Li Gang, Li Bangyan, how can people who are better than monkeys really believe it?

Therefore, after the proposal of Western Xia was transmitted to the Song court, the cabinet directly ignored it, and there was really no time to pay attention to it, because it was the critical juncture when Huang Jie was about to land in Liaodong, so Li Bigeng was also left out in the hotel after he came to Tokyo, and he didn't have time to throw out his "national gift" at the Zhengdan court meeting, and he didn't get the opportunity until today.

However, after talking about the "pre-discussion", I have to talk about the conditions he added just now, that is, to withdraw from the northwest Zhuyi Field and change the Xingqing Mansion, which is even more ruthless, it seems that Li Qianshun is no longer satisfied with collecting protection fees and tolls, and occasionally makes a cameo appearance in the days of robbers and horse bandits, and wants to sit on the ground and share the spoils and eat the black.

If this is to withdraw the northwest Zhuchang and change the Xingqing Mansion, that is, to control the flow of materials in the entire Northwest, then Li Qianshun can easily collect taxes in Xingqing Mansion, and may also control the throat of small countries such as Huifu, Tubo, Khotan, and Northern Liao, and the logistics channels are all in the territory of Western Xia.

Here, Li Bangyan can be regarded as understanding what the plot of Western Xia is, it seems that two simple requirements, but it is tantamount to the idea of a snake swallowing an elephant.

Immediately, Li Bangyan also asked Li Bigeng to stay less, and then sent the news back, and after hearing that Xixia's request was so excessive, Li Gang and the others were stunned. In particular, Wu Min, who is now in charge of the household department, is even more strongly opposed to the revocation of this requirement of the northwest Rongchang to reform the Xingqing Mansion, and also handed over the bottom to everyone, after he took charge of the household department, he turned out the old accounts for inspection, only the year before last (the first year of the main road) for a whole year, the tax revenue of the eight Rongchang in the northwest amounted to 17 million yuan, excluding all kinds of physical goods (sometimes the money could not be collected, so the goods were deducted) and converted into grain, horses, ordnance to supply to the Western Army nearby, as well as the various fire consumption on the way, The real money sent to Tokyo by the Northwest Rongchang alone was a full four million yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge wealth for the central finance of the Great Song Dynasty.

You must know that when Zhao Huan just ascended the throne, the Great Song Dynasty was also a mess, and the taxes in the Northwest Field were so huge, and now the situation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia is calm and stable, and the future of the Northwest is only afraid that it will be more stable and rich, how can this golden doll-like gift of the Northwest Field be handed over to the Western Xia?
