Chapter 336: A Generous Dowry

Zhao Xiaoxi, who had made up his mind to cut through the mess quickly, was somewhat surprised to hear Li Qinglu's crisp and neat answer. For Zhao Hyo-seok, he admits that a woman like Lee Qinglu is something that men will not miss at will.

In today's era, it is indeed more difficult to find a woman who is both knowledgeable and knowledgeable. And Li Qinglu is undoubtedly this kind of rare strange woman. said that he didn't have any ideas, and Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that it was a lie.

Looking at Li Qinglu's firm eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said, "Uncle Shi, what about your old opinion?" ”

Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's inquiry, Li Qiushui scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, Qinglu has said so, what do you say about me." I'm still the same sentence, Qinglu followed you, you have to give her happiness, don't bully her, understand?

I don't ask her to be the master of your harem in the future, but you must give her the title you deserve. Now you should think about how to convince Qinglu's father. Without his permission, I'm afraid that Qinglu won't be able to leave with you. ”

Hearing Li Qiushui's words, Zhao Xiaoxi also said directly: "Uncle Shi, if you don't trouble people, invite the lord of the country!" I won't go to his palace, and if there's anything, let's sit down and talk about it.

Since Qinglu does not fail me, I will definitely not fail her. Compared with you, who is a grandmother, he is a father, I am afraid that I still hope that Qinglu can bring him some benefits!

Although this is a bit vulgar, this is a fact after all, and I believe you understand it, uncle. Although I didn't prepare too many things when I came to Xixia this time, I will give Xixia a generous dowry for the sake of Qinglu. ”

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi and not wanting to joke, Li Qiushui didn't say much, and quickly asked the personal manager to invite Li Qianshun, the lord of the country. While waiting, Li Qiushui also asked him about his future plans.

I know this kind of inquiry from Li Qiushui. It's more for Li Qinglu. If Zhao Xiaoxi and Xixia reach an agreement here today, then Li Qinglu means that it is the water spilled by the married daughter.

For Li Qianshun, if Zhao Xiaoxi loses his existing aura as a county king, I'm afraid that he really doesn't take Zhao Xiaoxi very seriously. But Li Qiushui could see it from Zhao Xiaoxi's confident eyes. Cho Hyo-seok is not worried about returning to Beijing this time.

After a little thought, he said: "The temporary arrangement is to let Qinglu and Yu Yan return to Dali together." Not only Qinglu, but even my sister Zhao Yu will return with Duan Yu this time, escorted by my guards throughout the process.

No matter what the result is when I return to the capital this time, I will take all my family out of the capital. I am not used to putting my relatives in danger, so I must take them out.

As for things to come. I haven't quite figured it out yet. However, if I fall out with him, the title of the king of Bashu County will not be retained. And I'm going to shift my focus to the southeast coast, which is my future. ”

briefly said a little general thing, and Zhao Xiaoxi didn't go into too much detail. For him, perhaps this return to Beijing will be a new beginning. Regardless of the future. That way he had to go to the dark.

From the critical illness of the emperor's grandmother this time, Zhao Xiaoxi is already clear. Some history cannot be changed. Then this also shows that Zhao Xu, Song Zhezong, also escaped the law of history, and he will die young in a few years.

In fact, on the way to Xixia, Zhao Xiaoxi considered whether to talk to Zhao Xu directly. and even directly challenged his throne. But Zhao Xiaoxi felt that in this way, he would lose points in righteousness.

Anyway, even over the years, Zhao Xu has been more of a puppet emperor. But after all, he is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty recognized by the world. And during this period. The Great Song Dynasty is still a country and a country.

The king has not lost his morality, and he has a certain amount of popular support, if Zhao Xiaoxi directly spreads out and makes trouble, he will undoubtedly become a rebel. The throne obtained in this way will not be supported by the people and accepted by other courtiers.

Although Zhao Xiaoxi asked himself, he has a lot of military power in his hands. And he believes that as long as he gives an order, there will be no more subordinates who are willing to rebel with him. But he didn't want to!

Once Zhao Xiaoxi raised troops, it was the people of the Great Song Dynasty who suffered in the end. At that time, it will be the entire Central Plains people who will suffer. And those countries that are eyeing the country will inevitably take advantage of the void.

Although Zhao Xiaoxi has ambitions, he does not want to drag the people of the world into the flames of war because of his ambitions. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoxi's final decision was to temporarily avoid the edge and stay away from Zhao Xu's sight.

With this idea, Cho Hyo-seok's corresponding retirement measures also began. Even the strongholds that may be known by the imperial court are also in the process of emergency evacuation at this moment, so as to avoid being used as a scapegoat by the imperial court.

In fact, for Li Qiushui, she doesn't care about Zhao Xiaoxi's plan, she wants to know. is whether Zhao Xiaoxi is prepared for the way back, and now that she hears this, she can rest assured.

This time, Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the capital, which looked extremely dangerous. But in the same way, Li Qiushui knows that even if Zhao Xu wants to start, he must have a suitable excuse and reason. The fight between the children of the royal family is not as simple as the execution of the minister.

If Zhao Xu had just passed away after the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, and he purged an imperial uncle like King Xu, how would the people and subjects of the world view his character? A monarch who can kill even his relatives will not be truly loved by his subjects.

Just when Li Qiushui was chatting with Zhao Xiaoxi, Li Qianshun also quickly came to the harem. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi sitting here, he felt a little curious. But he knew that he was also brought in, and it was not a small matter to think about it.

When he heard that Zhao Xiaoxi was going to leave Xixia tonight, he naturally looked very surprised. When he heard it again, when Li Qinglu left with him without knowing anything, Li Qianshun's face suddenly darkened.

Looking at Li Qianshun's expression, Li Qiushui said very directly: "Qian'er, this is Qinglu's own decision, and I also agree." Now in the name of a father, give your opinion! ”

Hearing Li Qiushui's words, Li Qianshun said in surprise: "Queen Mother, this is not in line with etiquette!" ”

Zhao Xiaoxi, who didn't want to delay too much time, said directly: "Lord, the etiquette you are talking about is nothing more than among the people of the imperial city. Let them witness my marriage to Qinglu, but is it really important?

What the lord wants from this expedition, the four people here must know it. This time, I had an urgent need to leave, so I had to make this decision. But I now feel that it is not appropriate to publicize this matter for the good of us. ”

Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Li Qianshun said very directly: "Oh, I really want to hear what benefits this will have for me." I have a precious daughter who marries you, but I don't even have a wedding, how do you make others think of me? ”

Looking at Li Qianshun's demeanor at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately replied: "If the wedding is held, let's not talk about the time. At that time, when Da Liao learned the news, what did the lord of the country think they would think?

Qinglu and I had a happy event in Western Xia, but Da Liao held a funeral for their prince. Does the lord think this is a good idea? What's more, at this moment in Western Xia, I think it is better to keep a low profile. ”

Belch! As soon as he heard this, Li Qianshun, who was still arrogant before, hesitated spinelessly. It seems that he is really afraid of Da Liao. Such a monarch may not be a blessing for Western Xia.

Fortunately, he has a group of ministers, who are still conscientious. And Li Qianshun was a monarch who was willing to accept the minister's advice, which ensured that Western Xia survived in this chaotic situation.

For his hesitation, Li Qiushui let out a long sigh helplessly, and Li Qianshun, who heard this long sigh, also felt a little blushing. It seems that he understands that this queen mother is really a little disappointed in his fear of Da Liao!

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "If I have time this time, then I will follow the previous arrangement and give Qinglu a beautiful wedding ceremony." Suffice it to say that if Qinglu hadn't been willing to come with me, I wouldn't have consulted with you here.

What you're worried about is nothing more than the blades of Da Liao. But the confrontation between Western Xia and Da Liao is not a year or two. If Da Liao was really so strong, I was afraid that their iron cavalry would have already stepped into this imperial city.

Although I didn't bring any dowry this time, to be exact, I didn't expect to become a colt at all. Because, when I came to Xixia this time, firstly, it was an invitation from my uncle, which made it difficult for me to refuse, and secondly, I did not want to see Liaoxia form an alliance.

Since I have become the concubine of Western Xia, I don't want anything from the lord of the country, but I will pay the corresponding dowry. Within half a month, I will send someone to send 50,000 stone of grain, 30,000 catties of iron ingots, and 1,000 pairs of chain mail to Xixia.

In addition, there were 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk, and some gold and silver jewelry. I think this dowry will not be taken out easily even in the direction of Da Liao! And I promised that as long as the Great Liao dared to attack the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely give a side response. ”

As Zhao Xiaoxi guessed, with this really rich dowry that could not be richer, Li Qianshun was also deeply shocked. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoxi's financial resources would be so strong.

Food, iron, and armor are undoubtedly urgently needed in Western Xia. As for the cloth, as long as it is on the market, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. With this generous gift, Li Qianshun finally saw the hidden strength of this son-in-law.

In half a month, he can come up with these things, which is enough to show how capable he is. Faced with this situation, in the end, Li Qianshun no longer refused. As Zhao Xiaoxi said, Li Qianshun often has the cold-blooded side of the monarch.

After negotiating the conditions, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't stay longer at all and left the palace directly. Soon after, a wedding team sent by Li Qiushui, which could be regarded as a dowry team given by his mother's family, also arrived at the post where Duan Yu lived.

Late at night, under the personal presence of Heran Lian, Zhao Xiaoxi directly ordered to set off and leave this Western Xia Imperial City, which no longer had too much nostalgia for Li Qinglu. From then on, Cho Hyo-seok is her God.

And a few days later, Zhao Xiaoxi appeared under Bianliang City again with several guards who were running all the way. Looking at the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi silently said in his heart, 'Bianliang, I'm back'! (To be continued......)
