Chapter 551: Traveling West is Going to Danger
(Cat flutter Chinese) A person does not have any vices and bad habits, but why do many people not like him? There are four reasons for this, one is that he is too handsome, the second is too feminine, the third is too rich, and the fourth is too much liked by his boss.
In ancient times, the imperial examination was not only based on talent but also by appearance, those who can be officials are not ugly, and there is no shortage of beauties in these people in high positions, but money and power are not what anyone is pursuing, but compared with Lotte, he has a feeling of scum, and he can't help but feel a sense of jealousy of Lotte.
Lotte looked solemn, his tone was low, and he played slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister has repeatedly made suggestions for the pacification of Xihe Road in the northwest this year, and defeated the Xia thief Yu Zhenwu, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, Gai Zhucheng, captured the enemy and the shame of the snow and Tongan, and then contained the Xia people and the Jin King in Zhuo Luocheng, and after returning to the dynasty, he negotiated with the Xia State and had a tough attitude, and repeatedly spoke out of embarrassment. ”
"I remember how the wound on Qing's face came about, it was scratched by the Xia Assassin when he was assassinated!" Staring at the scar on Lotte's face that had not yet faded, Huizong Zhao Ji was also infected by Lotte's emotions: "Although the scar on Qing's face has been faded a lot by the ointment, I and Da Song will not forget Qing's achievements." ”
Huizong said: "Le Qing is afraid that the Xia people will rebel? ”
"Qing Zhi's worries may not be superfluous, the land of Lingxia is barren, and the party members are born with a bad temperament, and they do everything they can to plunder!" Huizong nodded, and said: "Xia Guo's annual tax is only a few days, and two million yuan is afraid that it is half of its income, it's not that I look down on that Li Qianshun, he really can't take out so much money!" ”
It is not impossible that Li Qianshun coveted the bride price brought by Lotte and forgot his righteousness, did not take into account the captured soldiers, and openly provoked the war between the Song and Xia countries again.
Tong Guan, who was standing in the forefront of the hundred officials, heard this, and his eyes flashed with a little jealousy.
Emperor Huizong said: "I have read the report from the northwest, watching the Zhenwu army and Gai Zhu Wei several battles, Le Qing, you are very good at transporting troops, this trip to Xia Guo is even more about Qing's life, why are you silent?" ”
Lotte hurriedly bowed and said: "That minister is bold!" ”
Lotte said: "The minister thinks that my Great Song Dynasty should strengthen its troops on the border of Song and Xia, and if the lord of Xia State sees the profit and forgets righteousness and our dynasty is against the ministers to fall into the Xia realm, I can justifiably send troops to attack the Xia realm, and take advantage of the emptiness of the national strength of the Xia State to capture the spirit and Xia Bingfeng directly to Xingqing Mansion, restore my spirit and Xia homeland, and complete the long-cherished wish of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years!" ”
Emperor Huizong said: "Tong Qing, come!" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case!" Seeing what Tong Guan said, Liang Shicheng said beside him: "If the summer thief suddenly attacks, and I am defenseless, how should I deal with it?" ”
Hearing Tong Guan mention this argument again, Lotte said: "Take the spirit Xia first and then restore the clouds, this is the strategy formulated by the previous emperors of my dynasty since the Renzong Dynasty, how can the Xia people be destroyed and Liao?" ”
Of course, Lotte didn't want to encounter any accidents when he went to Xia Kingdom, but he had to stop Tong Guanlianjin's plan to destroy Liao, and even in his own goal, he didn't want the Song Dynasty to follow the old path of Lianjin to destroy Liao, and then see the end of the Great Song Dynasty finally playing life and death.
"I think it's most appropriate to take the clouds first!" Tong Guan hurriedly spoke out against it, and said the reason: "I have been attacking summer for more than 100 years, and how many results have I achieved? ”
The ministers in the palace were stunned for a while, Tong Guanquan was afraid of the government and the opposition, and he did not dare to have half any objection to what he discussed.
"This matter will be discussed later!" Emperor Huizong didn't want to listen to the argument between the two, so he immediately said: "Tong Guan, from now on, you will go to the northwest first to strengthen the border forces of Song and Xia, and play a deterrent role for Leqing when he enters the summer." ”
Let yourself protect Lotte, so that Tong Guan feels extremely aggrieved in his heart. In his heart, Tong Guan longed to die, but the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so he could only do it.
Tong Guan reluctantly accepted the order, but Lotte could clearly see that Tong Guan looked at him with resentment and unwillingness in his eyes, but also with a fierce light, eager to eat himself. Lotte knew in his heart that although the two were arguing, Emperor Huizong faintly agreed with his previous suggestion out of uncertainty about the situation in Western Xia and the danger of his trip to Western Xia.
It will take a lot of time to destroy the Western Xia, and then operate and digest the Western Xia, which will consume a lot of energy and financial resources of the imperial court, but this is also better than ignoring the Western Xia, forming an alliance with the Jurchens to fight the Liao State, exposing all the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty to the Jin people, and finally ending up in the shame of Jingkang. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty could not completely digest the Western Xia, but as long as there was a place to raise horses in the Hetao and a large number of cavalry were equipped, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was bound to rise to another level.
As for the Hebei Forbidden Army, Lotte didn't count on it at all, in Lotte's eyes, the Hebei Forbidden Army and the Central Central Forbidden Army in Biandu are both the existence of the five scum of war, and at most they can only suppress the bandits.
……
"Lord Le, please stay!"
"There are nobles who want to meet Lord Le!" Wang Goudang said mysteriously.
The first reaction in Lotte's mind was that His Royal Highness King Yun wanted to see him, after all, the Great Song Dynasty had the ancestral training that the prince was not allowed to make friends with the minister, so the king acted mysteriously, and it was a bit like being a thief.
Unlike other courtiers, the other courtiers either went west out of the Xihua Gate to the yamen outside the palace, or went south to the many yamen houses located in the east of the Daqing Palace, and only Lotte was the only one under the leadership of Shi Goudang, heading to the east.
……
After turning around a few times in a row, even Lotte didn't know where he was in the palace, and asked: "Wang Dang, where is His Royal Highness King Yun?" ”
Before Lotte heard Wang Dang's reply, he heard a delicate and majestic and somewhat familiar command, and then saw a familiar figure appear in the room
"Slave and maid retire!" Wang Goudang answered the call, ignored Lotte's question, and hurriedly retreated.
"Congratulations!" The person who came was Emperor Maode, and Emperor Maode looked at Lotte, her eyebrows and eyes were mixed with smiles, anger and unwillingness, "Is it better for this palace to call you Lord Le now, or is it more appropriate to call you Lord Xia Guo?" ”
