Chapter 161: Sheng Ping's life is not easy to come by
readx;
With the peaceful death of Tianshan Tong's grandmother, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had a conversation with Li Qiushui, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, had a conversation with the Xiaoyao faction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After returning to the capital, he issued an order to Qiao Feng, who was guarding Liaodong, to conquer Liaoxi, and completely solve the remnants of the Liao State who resisted to the end.
With Qiao Feng's troops on the border of western Liaoning, the Khitans of western Liaoning, who were already overwhelmed, finally chose to surrender. The Khitans, who were really unwilling to become the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, could only continue to go west along the rare Liaoxi.
Qiao Feng, who successfully recovered the entire territory of Liao, took his troops to the front line of Loulan before he stopped advancing. The recovery of the remnants of Western Liaoning meant that Western Xia was surrounded by the Great Song Dynasty.
Especially the Huijuan Kingdom, which borders western Liaoxi, also chose to surrender very well. This means that except for the part bordering Tibet, all the other domestic borders of Western Xia were under the front of the Great Song Dynasty.
Originally, Li Qiushui returned and discussed the matter of attachment with the Western Xia monarchs. It's a pity that in the face of imperial power and aristocratic status, there are still people who are reluctant to give up their power and refuse to agree to Zhao Xiaoxi's conditions.
Facing the large army led by Qiao Feng, as well as the Northwest Army of the Great Song Dynasty, they began to be arranged on the front line of Western Xia. At this moment, they naturally panicked when they saw such a situation. And Li Qiushui, who was able to speak in the Great Song Dynasty, has retreated to the Loose Sect.
The Western Xia monarchs and ministers, who knew that they had no right to choose, finally understood that Li Qiushui was once again looking farther than them. If the conditions of the Great Song Dynasty had been accepted that day, perhaps the situation like today would not have occurred.
Before the Great War began, the people of Western Xia living on the border of the Great Song Dynasty. But he put on a posture to welcome Wang Shi. This situation made the Western Xia generals, who originally wanted to fight, finally understand that the morale of the army and the people has been lost. What else to fight?
Just when the Western Xia monarchs and ministers began to think about how to maximize the conditions to the Great Song Dynasty. The Tuoba tribe, which was once spared by Zhao Xiaoxi, first made the matter of attaching to the Liaodong army and completely let go of the border it was responsible for.
This move of the Tuoba tribe made them get a heavy reward from Zhao Xiaoxi. His young tribal leader, Tuoba Yu, was also appointed by Zhao Xiaoxi to command a 50,000-strong jockey army. It is also an important position in the cavalry of the Song army.
Although he lost his position as the leader of the tribe, he surrendered with the Tuoba tribe. the people of their tribes. Looking at the entry of the Great Song Dynasty merchant group and the delivery of cheap and high-quality goods, I really understood how correct the choice of the tribal leader was.
Before the war began, the people's hearts and the army's morale had been lost. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Western Xia monarchs. The soldiers and civilians of the Western Xia, who were blessed by the Tuoba tribe, did not resist at all, and let the cavalry of Liaodong go straight to the Western Xia royal city.
With the arrival of the cavalry under the royal city of Western Xia, the Western Xia Emperor finally dismissed the negotiating situation. Faced with Qiao Feng's warning that he would attack if he did not surrender, he finally chose to open the city and surrender in order to protect the name of the Li family.
With the official capture of Western Xia, the Great Song army that entered Western Xia began to march to the Tibetan border. There is no reminder of this. The act of direct deterrence by force made the Tibetans also understand that they had not many choices.
Otherwise. Like those Khitans in western Liaoxi, stay away from this land of secular residence. Otherwise, they still surrendered voluntarily, and maybe they could get more benefits. If they really want to be imprisoned in the imperial city, they are afraid that they will feel even more unaccustomed.
Soon Tubo sent an envoy, headed by the national teacher Kumazhi. Arrived at Bianliang, the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty. Looking at this Gu Mozhi, who finally looked like a high monk, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't embarrass him too much. Because. No need!
After the Ministry of Rites consulted with them about the takeover procedure, the army of the Great Song Dynasty also entered Tibet with him after Kumazhi returned to Tibet. began to take over all the defense of Tibet, and also sealed the treasury and treasury of Tibet.
By the time the snow began to fall, Tubo and Western Xia had completely become the land of the Great Song Dynasty. Tuoba Yu, who took the initiative to surrender, was also appointed by Zhao Xiaoxi as the county guard of Tubo, and he was a real minister.
The reason why he was not appointed as the county guard of Western Xia was also because he was worried that Tuoba Yu would not be able to control his personal ambitions if he had been in Western Xia for too long. On the contrary, if he was appointed as the county guard of Tubo, there was no such worry, and Tuoba Yu could also handle related affairs.
The lord of Tubo and the lord of Western Xia finally took all the royal relatives and were taken into Bianliang City. For a short time, they will all live in the imperial city, and as for the princes and nobles of the original two countries, they will naturally cancel all their original privileges.
In this process, there are naturally princes and nobles who are unwilling to cancel their privileges, intending to find the rights that belong to them. But for this kind of personnel, Zhao Xiaoxi, according to the information seized by Bu Yige, can naturally give some preferential treatment to the people.
If it is a bug-like role in the two countries, it will be investigated and dealt with. This kind of punishment and elimination of evil is carried out in the form of a public trial. When the crimes committed by these nobles were announced, naturally no one dared to intercede for them.
Even in this way, Zhao Xiaoxi sent the Great Song officials to take over the two * politics, and soon won the support of those oppressed people. For these people, they have finally escaped this life of exploitation.
In a word, if the honest nobles are willing to accept the assignment of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Then they can still retain some of the existing family interests. If you are not honest, you will not be far from the day when you will be wiped out.
As for the rebellion, the consequences were undoubtedly more serious. The Great Song army stationed in the two countries was not vegetarian. And it is not so easy for the nobles of the two countries, who have no leader, to boycott together.
The unification of the Central Plains was completed, and the Great Song Dynasty officially became the only country on this continent. Only Dali, which is headed by Duan Yu, is still under his management. This can also be regarded as Zhao Xiaoxi giving Dali and Duan Yu some privileges.
Only Dali's current military and political affairs, as well as the economy, are heavily dependent on the Great Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, Duan Yu is more like a county guard at the moment. It's just that he has the title of king with a different surname.
Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's open side, Duan Yu naturally knew that it was his brotherhood with Zhao Xiaoxi that played a role. The other is that he is indeed not greedy for power, as far as Duan Yu is concerned, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Dali, he will do it.
The two brothers had the same purpose, and Duan Yu also married Zhao Yu, and even Zhao Yu finally gave birth to a son for him three years after marrying him. The appearance of this child also made the relationship between Da Song and Dali go further.
As the nephew of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the son of the lord of Dali, this newborn child is undoubtedly destined to be favored. And the two brothers, Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming, are naturally very happy about this.
But the one who really feels happy is still Duan Yanqing, who stayed in Tianlong Temple and became a monk. Regarding the fact that Duan Yu is his son, perhaps only Zhao Xiaoxi, Dao Baifeng and Duan Yanqing themselves know in this world.
When Duan Yu took the child with Zhao Yu to Tianlong Temple to pray for blessings as usual. Look at this child who is still in the midst of praise. Duan Yanqing also felt that he was really satisfied at this time. In his vein, what is not satisfied with having a grandson?
If back then, he didn't know about this situation, or took away the position of the lord of the country that belonged to Duan Yu. So whether Dali exists or not is a question worth considering. And now Dali is peaceful and peaceful, and Duan Yu is even more known as the master of Dali.
If there is a son like this, what more can the husband ask for?
After taking the Western Xia and Tubo, Zhao Xiaoxi began to focus on the process of ethnic integration. The people of these states were constantly migrated to the interior of the Central Plains to live or work.
Secondly, the people of the Central Plains gradually moved to live in Fanbang. But more, the population of the Great Song Dynasty will continue to increase, and move overseas in batches, so that these people who are unified under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty can learn to integrate and unite.
Maybe this kind of integration can't be completed by his generation alone, but Zhao Xiaoxi hopes that he can lay this foundation. Set a correct example for the children of the Zhao family who will ascend the throne in the future.
Even if he and Mu Wanqing's son is already five years old, Zhao Xiaoxi has never confirmed that he is the crown prince. In his words, he is still young and strong for the time being, and there is no need to appoint any prince so early.
Whether his son or daughter wants to take up important positions in the future, they must start from the grassroots level. Without being tempered as the emperor, the world of Shengping of the Great Song Dynasty created by him will be defeated sooner or later.
In the future, if Zhao Xiaoxi really abdicates and does not ask about the affairs of the court, then he will inevitably choose. The youngest and strongest son beside him came to the throne, allowing him to continue to lead the Great Song Dynasty to a higher level.
As for Lichang or Lixian, Zhao Xiaoxi is more willing to be virtuous. At the same time, he hoped that this rule could be passed down as the rules of the Zhao royal family as he began. Let his children and grandchildren understand that being an emperor is not determined by who is born sooner or later.
Even the descendants of the Zhao family now, he has also canceled many preferential treatments. They are given the right to participate in politics, and as long as they are willing to participate in the imperial examination or the martial arts, they can choose to do whatever work they like.
And not like before, because of the problem of bloodline, he was raised by the imperial court like a waste. The children of the Zhao family, who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains, Zhao Xiaoxi is undoubtedly the least like.
If in the future, his sons will be outstanding. That's not necessary, staring at the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi can completely release a kingdom to them and manage them for governance.
Whether it is to manage the imperial court or to manage these descendants, those who can go up and those who can't go down are Zhao Xiaoxi's usual methods. And for this, Mu Wanqing, who is the queen, also expressed understanding.
Perhaps it is clear that the peaceful and prosperous world created by Zhao Xiaoxi is not easy. If their son, really mud can't hold up the wall. Insisting on pushing him to the top will only harm this court and make all the people in the world suffer.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaoxi also strictly forbade the courtiers to carry out the so-called advance investment in this matter. Ministers who dare to mention this matter, even if they are not dismissed and investigated, will be cut down and suppressed, so that they can truly understand that the issue of the heir cannot be judged.
Although this matter is indeed a bit too early for Zhao Hyo-seok in his prime. But Cho Hyo-seok also knows that some things must be prepared in advance. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to reverse this concept when the children grow up in the future! (To be continued) R655
