Chapter 99: Prisoner vs. [II]

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued: "If this king invites Ren Guangnan East Road, I am afraid that there will be nothing at the beginning, but if you do Mr. Xing's plan, I want to get involved on the Silk Road!" How could those Fujian officials and scholars agree? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, although they are not enough to influence the government and the opposition, but they are attacking with all their might, which is enough to make this king, a prince who only relies on holy favors, anxious, and there is no problem! Moreover, it has been a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and these Fujian people have been operating sea routes for a hundred years, even if they face off against this king openly, this king may not be able to defeat them! It would be unwise to meddle in this matter without sufficient certainty! ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu said again: "If you don't just use the Maritime Silk Road to suffer from that miasma in Lingnan, why bother? ”

Gongsun Xuanxu was a little annoyed, and said with a little negative anger: "Since the prince said that this is not good, then it is not good, and the poor Dao wants to ask the prince what he wants?" ”

Zhao Yu originally wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he changed his words and said, "Sir, don't worry, it's really unclear about the general trend of the world now." This king doesn't want to be rash. This king thinks, now go to Jingdong East Road to deal with the disaster relief well, and within a year and a half, he will always come up with a way, right? ”

Gongsun Xuanxu said helplessly: "Everything is naturally according to what the prince said!" ”

Zhao Yu naturally couldn't chill Gongsun Xuanxu's heart, so he immediately threw out appeasement and said sincerely: "The help of Mr. is like the water of a fish." Please sir and stay here for a while, this king will plan to let the official family pardon Mr. today! Within three or five days, I will definitely give Mr. a doctor, and within seven or eight days, I will definitely let Mr. come out! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu is not this, after hearing Zhao Yu's words, he put aside any dissatisfaction in his heart, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and pretended to be pure and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" The prince has such a kind heart, and the ancestor of the Sanqing Dao will definitely protect the prince Wanfu Jin'an! ”

Zhao Yu was amused when he heard this, this bull-nosed Taoist priest actually came to this time, and he still had to save face. However, since he wanted to save face, Zhao Yu naturally would not pierce this layer of paper in a bad way, so he said a few words of superficial Taoist metaphysics, and then got up and left. Although Gongsun Xuanxu pretended to be tall, he didn't dare to sit cross-legged and let Zhao Yu stand up immediately, and together with the official and the prison head triangular eye, respectfully sent Zhao Yu to the iron door.

Out of the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhao Yu looked at the West and spat out turbidity. Zhao Yu began to recall the previous conversation with Gongsun Xuanxu, and when he thought of Gongsun Xuanxu's negative questioning, he wanted to speak and stopped. Zhao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he really have no purpose?

Zhao Yu's purpose is Western Xia! From ancient times to the present, the only thing that wants to become famous quickly is war! War can quickly make a man famous. Think of Di Qing, who is mainly a literati, and an official to the privy deputy envoy. And what is Di Qing's background?

Because his brother injured someone, he was arrested and sent to Bianliang City to fill the army. There are also tattoos on his face, which is equivalent to telling others that this guy is a bad person and has committed crimes. Among the literati, such a figure could be expected to be very hostile.

After all, if you think about it, I've been studying hard for ten years, and you, a criminal guy, are actually standing on top of me, or being a colleague with me. If you think about the mentality of those scholars, you can see their feelings!

Even so, they still did not hinder Di Qing's ascendancy. Zhao Yu didn't believe that he would be worse than Di Qing, and he could definitely break the shackles with his military exploits. And not like now, not up or down. Although the official position of the pacification envoy was added, it had a temporary flavor.

When did Western Xia become emperor, Zhao Yu didn't know, after all, Zhao Yu was not a professional in studying history. However, Zhao Yu knew that it should not be too far away, that is, last year, that is, the first year of Ming Dao, Li Yuanhao's father returned to the west, and Li Yuanhao succeeded him. The imperial court also sent Langzhong Yang of the Ministry of Industry as the official of the festival, and Zhu Yunzhong, the deputy envoy of protocol, as the deputy envoy, to the Western Xia to promulgate the decree, and awarded Li Yuanhao to enter the special jin, inspect the school Taishi and serve in the middle, Dingyan Junjiedu, Xia Yinsui Youjing and other states to observe and deal with the envoy of the Emperor and the king of Xiping.

Although he was sealed, Zhao Yu could see from the newspaper and the folds that Li Yuanhao had already rebelled.

Not long after he succeeded to the throne, Li Yuanhao changed his name. Because of historical reasons, Western Xia has two surnames, one is Li, the Later Tang Dynasty was entitled, and the other was Zhao, which was naturally enshrined in the Song Dynasty. However, Li Yuanhao did not change the surname Li, but changed the surname Wei, which means my ancestor.

What do you mean by my ancestor? Only the founding emperor and the person who created a race can add the title of ancestor!

And changed its name to 曩宵, and its full name is 嵬名曩宵. A few days later, baldness was ordered again. This baldness order was similar to the Manchu shaving order, requiring all the people in the territory, whether they were Dangxiang, Han, Tibetan, or other races, to cut their hair into the traditional Qiang hairstyle for a certain period of time.

The Song Dynasty naturally had the heart to manage, but at that time, the Empress Dowager Party and the Emperor Party had entered a white-hot stage, who still had the heart to pay attention to Li Yuanhao? Moreover, the literati have a natural aversion to the use of soldiers, as if once they use soldiers, the country of the Great Song Dynasty will be gone.

Of course, the literati of the Song Dynasty were still a little disciplined, at least they did not let Li Yuanhao develop. They used an empty official position to win over the leaders of the Qingtang Qiang in Qinghai, canonized their leader Jiao Zuo as the general of Ningyuan and the training envoy of the Aizhou regiment, and canonized the real power figures in the Qingtang Qiang and awarded Wen Qiqi as a naturalized general.

For this reason, Zhao Yu has received the news that Li Yuanhao is ready to send troops to attack Qingtangqiang located on his flank, as for whether he has sent troops now, where to attack, and what the battle situation is, Zhao Yu does not know. However, Zhao Yu believes that after cleaning up the Qingtang Qiang, Li Yuanhao's next target will definitely be the rich and weak Song Dynasty.

As for why he didn't say it just now, it's because I'm afraid that not many people can understand the threat of Western Xia to the Song Dynasty now. However, it is not difficult to wonder, on the one hand, there is the behemoth of Khitan next to it, and on the other hand, the national strength of Western Xia is not too strong, and Western Xia currently only occupies the land of Yin, Xia, Sui, Yin, You (Jingbian, Shaanxi), Jing (Shaanxi Mizhi), Gan, Su and other ten states.

Moreover, most of these states are deserts and poor land in the Gobi, and most of the places that can live in them are still used for grazing, and there is not much arable land, and the land in the country is vast and sparsely populated. In terms of the current troop strength, it is only forty or fifty thousand people!
