Chapter 312: Conditions for Harmony
Several kings and sons live together, and they can't hide anything from others. For Dali and Tubo, in the end, the secret fight was put on the bright side, and the other princes were happy to watch the excitement, and even hoped that this matter would be better and better.
It's just that no one expected that the Tubo warriors who went to Dali for trouble finally came back depressed. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, who handled this matter vigorously, these princes paid more attention to it. It is clear that Duan Yu has his protection, and it is indeed a lot more difficult to deal with.
Thinking of Zhao Xiaoxi's threat yesterday, these princes knew very well that the Jianghu people in the Central Plains were very difficult to deal with. And this kind of martial arts master who has great influence in the Central Plains martial arts cannot be easily offended.
Many people know that this time Duan Yu came to Western Xia, and Zhao Xiaoxi protected him more out of brotherhood. In addition, they also learned one after another that the Iron Wolf Team and the fall of a gust of wind seemed to be inseparable from the Dali Guard.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that these two strong horse bandits died at the hands of the Dali Guard. But these princes of the king, how many investigations found two horse bandits, were instructed to ambush the Dali guards, and finally did not know that the river was destroyed in Erdaogou.
It was this unknown thing that made these Wang Shizi suddenly feel that this captain of Dali's guard seemed to be more worthy of their vigilance than Duan Yu. Such a master, if he really wants to sneak attack only with their guards, he may really not be an opponent.
To drive away these Tubo guards who came to make trouble, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly asked people to find a carriage and escorted Duan Yu to visit Sun Fang, the right minister of Western Xia, with a team of Dali guards. This news was soon learned by various forces.
Many people don't understand why Sun Fang, the right prime minister who has always been close to the Great Song Dynasty, has a relationship with Duan Yu this time. As far as they knew, Sun Fang should have no interest in Dali. But why did Sun Fang accept the visit?
The parties were caught off guard by this unexpected news. Sun Fang also looked very surprised. Regarding Duan Yu's visit, to be honest, he didn't want to see it. But when he saw the token representing the Queen Mother, he had to see it again.
As a result, when he asked Duan Yu if he knew the Queen Mother, Duan Yu shook his head and said, "Lord Sun, in fact, Yu came to see him this time." It's more of a fight for others. There are other people who want to meet adults! ”
Hearing this, Sun Fang naturally looked very surprised, and waited until Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly got up and said, "Zhao Xiaoxi, the second son of King Xu of the Great Song Dynasty, has seen Lord Sun. Please forgive me for the king's intention to conceal his identity. ”
Belch! Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's self-introduction, Sun Fang, who knew something about the Great Song Dynasty. also hurriedly got up and said, "Ah! Unexpectedly, Da Song came this time, and it would be His Royal Highness the King of the County. It seems that His Royal Highness the King of the County is really bold! ”
Regarding Sun Fang's boldness, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Lord Sun has won the award." The previous king and Western Xia were opponents, so there was naturally no politeness on the battlefield. This time I came to Xixia to get married, so naturally I don't need to worry about anything.
What's more, even if the identity of this king is revealed. It's hard to do it, Lord Sun still has to arrest this king. You know, when this king does anything, he will arrange one or two back hands. If anything happens to this king. Xixia is afraid that there is a big event. ”
These words were said with a smile, but there was a murderous aura in the words. But Sun Fang, who heard this, frowned. Unexpectedly, this prince of the Great Song County who dragged Xixia into this unfavorable situation last year is really not a good stubble!
Not wanting to dwell on this issue anymore, Sun Fang quickly said: "I don't know how the queen mother token sent by the concierge before, I don't know how the prince of the county got it. Or is it that this time the queen mother agreed to the princess out of the cabinet. It was premeditated! ”
For Sun Fang to think of these things so quickly, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said: "It seems that Uncle Shi asked this king to find Lord Sun for help, and he really found the right person." I didn't expect the adults to think of this layer so quickly.
Yes, Uncle Shi wants to pass and kiss. Let the two countries get together with Qin and Jin. Although the king did not like this way of making peace, he did not want to see the two countries go to war again. Compared with the Great Liao, this king felt that the Western Xia was more worthy of an alliance. I wonder what Master Sun thinks? ”
After listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Sun Fang said with some puzzlement: "The uncle mentioned by His Royal Highness the King of the County refers to the queen mother of his country?" ”
Zhao Xiaoxi nodded and said: "Yes, I believe that with Lord Sun's ability, he should know the identity of this king in the rivers and lakes." Since this king can become the head of the Central Plains Jianghu sect, the queen mother can naturally become the king's uncle. ”
There are too many detailed things, and Zhao Xiaoxi did not talk about them. Some things are better to keep some. Although Li Qiushui asked him to ask Sun Fang for help, it didn't mean that he told him all the hole cards. It's better to keep a hand in doing things!
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's indifferent expression, Sun Fang felt. Being able to marry such a powerful and capable King of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly very beneficial to Western Xia. But the point is, many people in Western Xia still hate this guy!
In last year's battle of Lanzhou, let's not talk about the dead soldiers. Helian Tieshu, the general of Zhengdong alone, and the iron harrier who was pitted, made Zhao Xiaoxi, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, itch with hatred.
But now, Li Qiushui, who is the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, is looking for a person her son hates to be a concubine. How could this make the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom embarrassed at that time? The discord between these two houses will affect the stability of Western Xia!
It's just that as the Empress Dowager's important minister, Sun Fang knows very well that in this matter, he seems to be on the side of the Empress Dowager. First, it is Li Qiushui's promotion and affection, and second, it is his Han identity.
If the Western Xia formed an alliance with the Great Liao, those tribal leaders in the court, as well as those Fanbang ministers, would be even more powerful. At that time, the entire Western Xia court was afraid that they would not have the status of these Hanchens, which they did not want to see.
For many people, they don't care who is the lord of the country, what they care about is the inheritance and continuation of their family. As long as the powerful position of the family can be guaranteed, and the head of the country comes to power, they must be more important.
Now Li Qiushui introduced Zhao Xiaoxi to him, which is nothing more than hoping that Sun Fang will be smooth and close to him in the future. can take advantage of the power of this prince of the Great Song County to develop the power of the family. After all, the Sun family doesn't just have roots in Western Xia!
With these considerations, Sun Fang quickly said: "I don't know the prince of the county, why do you need the old man's help this time?" ”
Regarding this, Zhao Xiaoxi shook his head and said: "Wrong, this time the king came not to ask Lord Sun for help. Instead, he came to ask Master Sun if there was anything Zhao could help with. The conditions are suitable, and the king agreed to this family affair. ”
The latter words were not said, but Sun Fang already understood in his heart. But he was puzzled and said, "Does the old man need the help of the county king?" It seems that the prince of the county is really too profound, can you ask the prince of the county to speak more clearly? ”
Seeing that Sun Fang seemed to really realize the consequences of the alliance between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty. quickly said: "Lord Sun, you must know that the concubine of Western Xia this time is either the king or the two princes of Da Liao. Neither side can be provoked by Western Xia.
To tell you the truth, your lord has made a bad move this time. This king came this time, more for the sake of his uncle's face. For such a thing as harmony, this king is disgusted from the bottom of his heart. For the people of the two countries, they have to do something.
This time, whether it is the king or the two princes of Da Liao, any one of them becomes a Western Xia concubine, which will attract the anger of the other party. Regarding this consequence, I wonder if Lord Sun and the Western Xia lord have thought it through?
This king does not hide from Lord Sun, if this king can't become a concubine this time, the Great Song army gathered on the border, will wave troops into the country at the moment when your country forms an alliance with the Great Liao. This king will not sit idly by and ignore the alliance between the two countries!
At that time, is Da Liao really willing to send troops to aid Western Xia for a princess? Or, in other words, the current Great Liao Ken started a war with the Great Song Dynasty for the sake of Western Xia. If you bring the Great Liao soldiers into the country, don't you worry that they will give you a false way to destroy you? ”
Saying this, Sun Fang thought about it and felt that it was really possible. But he soon said: "His Royal Highness the King of the County has taken these into account, so if the King of the County marries a princess, how should he deal with himself?" Could it be that the king of the county came this time to negotiate conditions? ”
'Yes, although it is only a matter of time before the Great Song and the Great Liao go to war. But if it weren't for this incident, this king might have sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, watched Xixia and Da Liao fight to the death first, and finally waved his troops north!
But now, when it comes to such a thing, this king can only choose the lesser of two evils. Since the results of the alliance between the two countries are good, it is also possible to expand some cooperation on this basis. But there is one thing, this king does not want your country to be too greedy.
If Lord Sun can persuade the lord of your country, agree to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty in a peaceful way. At that time, if Da Liao dares to use troops to invade the territory, this king will lead his troops to attack Da Liao, so that Da Liao will have no time to trouble your country.
In short, Lord Sun only needs to tell the lord of your country whether it is in the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Liao, and let him make a choice. If you want to be a wall grass, most of the consequences will not be too good. Moreover, this incident is only an agreement between this king and your country. ’
After informing Sun Fang of his meaning, the right minister looked a little serious and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness the King of the County is really prepared." It's just that the old man doesn't understand, what does His Royal Highness the county king's last sentence mean? ”
Looking at Sun Fang's curious eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "The meaning is very simple, if this king becomes a concubine of Western Xia, this king can fight for some benefits for Western Xia." However, this kind of interest must be built on the basis of not harming the Great Song Dynasty.
In addition, this king can also tell Sun some secret things, that is, even if this king marries the princess of your country, she will not be the main concubine of this king. Because, the princess of this king is the princess of Dali. This matter has not been announced to the public for the time being!
I believe that Lord Sun should know that even if it is an agreement between this king and your country, it will be a beneficial help to your country. As for the two princes of Da Liao, if they can agree to your country's conditions, most of them must be verbal promises! ”
As soon as these words came out, Sun Fang looked at Duan Yu who was sitting on the side. I'm curious, when did Dali have a princess, why have I never heard of it? It can be seen that Duan Yu nodded, and Sun Fang realized that it seems that this county prince is not very ambitious! (To be continued......)
