This parliament is related to the future of the Western Xia, and it implicates the hearts of the people of the Western Xia Kingdom, after all, a small change in the Western Xia King Yuan Hao and the Western Xia Emperor Yuan Hao can bring endless glory and wealth to the officials of the Western Xia.
In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, Yuan Hao, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and is a hero, is dressed in a golden dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair in the hall with a big thorn, and His Royal Highness is dozens of civil and military officials in Western Xia, divided into two sides.
"You also know the purpose of this king's invitation, although this king is confident that the Western Xia soldiers and horses are not weaker than any surrounding country, but once this king ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, I am afraid that it will not be a country to find trouble with this king, Liao, the Great Song Dynasty and their subject countries will not sit idly by and watch this king become an emperor on an equal footing with them, you think about it, is there any way to let this king ascend the throne and become the emperor without angering the two strong neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State!" Xixia Yuanhao sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below and said indifferently.
Although the words of Yuan Hao of Western Xia were spoken to all the civil and military forces in the palace, and the opinions of everyone were solicited, everyone in the hall knew that there were only three or five people in the palace who had the ability to influence Yuan Hao.
With the expansion of the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom, Yeli Renrong, who is the thinker of Yuanhao Xi of Western Xia, is getting thinner and thinner, and now he is less than 100 catties tall at 1.7 meters, so thin Yeli Renrong has supreme prestige among the civil officials of Western Xia. He didn't speak, and behind him, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, Xu Min, Zhang Wenxian, Yang Shousu, Zhong Dingchen and other officials of the Western Xia Han people all retained their opinions in their hearts, looking at Yeli Renrong, and only looking at him.
The Western Xia established the country by force, and the status of the domestic literati was different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, while the officials in charge of government affairs in the Western Xia were the officials in charge of government affairs. Most of them were Han Chinese captured by the Western Xia from all over the country, and the Western Xia party members such as Wei Ming Shouquan, Yeli Wangrong, Yeli Yuqi, Cheng Kecheng, Lying People Reward Duoduo, Matthi Weiji and others, most of them were generals, and they didn't know a few big characters, and they were good at marching and fighting, but they had no other way than to stare at Yeli Renrong dryly.
Yeli Renrong looked at the Western Xia privy envoy Wei Ming Shouquan opposite him, and Zhang Zhi, the servant behind him, these two people and Yeli Renrong held the positions of Western Xia Zhongshu, Privy Counsellor and Shizhongdi respectively. It included more than sixty percent of the military and political power in Western Xia, and Yuan Hao's words just now were not so much asking about the Chinese martial arts of the palace, but asking the three of them to be right.
Yeli Renrong saw that Wei Ming Shouquan and Zhang Zhi both pretended to bow their heads and think hard, they didn't look at him at all, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He could only come out and sing in black and said to Yuan Hao: "King Qiqi! Weichen thought that the idea of the king was unrealistic, you must know that in the entire land of Middle-earth, there are only two huge empires of Liao and Song, and my Xixia Kingdom was a small tribe a few decades ago, but now the king is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor. On an equal footing with the Liao State and the Song Emperor, once the Song State and the Liao State sat back and watched the Great King ascend the throne and claim the throne, after the Great King. The king of Tufan, the king of Dali, the king of Goryeo and the king of Huihu, who were originally the same as the king, will definitely follow the emperor and the emperor of the Song and Liao, and then the Song and Liao will lose face, so they will definitely not stand idly by, once the king ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, war is inevitable! ”
"The inevitable is the inevitable! Isn't my Western Xia afraid that they won't succeed, now that I have 500,000 armor in Western Xia, these elite soldiers will definitely be able to capture the entire Great Song Dynasty, if the king waves his army south, with my Western Xia 500,000 soldiers and horses. The destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is just around the corner! Yeli Renrong's younger brother, the Western Xia fierce general Yeli Yuqi refuted his eldest brother's words with a big grin, Yeli Yuqi once led troops to fight with the Song army several times, and was clear about the low combat effectiveness of the Song army, and mentioned the disdainful contempt of the Song army.
"Lord Yeli is talking too much! You must know that the Song State has a million armor, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as my Xixia army, but the soldiers are strong and the city is solid, with the high wall of the armor, that is, the Liao State with 400,000 elite cavalry, can not help the Song State, although my Xixia soldiers have many generals, and the soldiers use their lives, but the expedition to the Song State is probably wishful thinking! As soon as Yeli Yuqi's words landed, a fifty-year-old man wearing a yellow robe and a little hunchback sneered and scolded Yeli Yuqi.
The origin of this old man in a yellow robe is not simple, his name is Shan Yu, he is the uncle of Yuan Hao, and he has the strongest party in Western Xia in his hands, and his brother Weishui led a total of 50,000 horses to guard the land of the Cao family back to the three states of the Cao family, and was named the Duke of Zhenbei by Yuan Hao, and is the real power figure of the Western Xia royal family, and his status in the Western Xia is comparable to that of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, of the Great Song Dynasty.
Yuan Hao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, watched Clan Shushan Yu stand up to fight Yeli Yuqi, and his brows not only furrowed.
Now Yuan Hao has been very dissatisfied with the clan Shushan Yu, as early as a few years ago when Yuan Hao went west, he had convened the leaders of the party departments to gather in Helan Mountain, and made a covenant to jointly attack the Great Song Dynasty, but the opinions of the various tribes in the Western Xia were not unified, some agreed and some opposed, so that Yuan Hao did not dare to act rashly At the same time, he was also very dissatisfied with the restrictions of the various tribes in the Western Xia.
And in that Helan Mountain alliance, Yuan Hao's clan uncle Shan Yu was also one of the opponents of the Western Xia's use of troops against the Great Song Dynasty, and he was a very firm one, and afterwards Yuan Hao proposed to wave his army to the south several times, but was stopped by Shan Yu, which made Yuan Hao even more dissatisfied with Shan Yu, and his murderous intentions were gradually revealed.
"That's it! It's useless to quarrel, today we are discussing how not to anger the Song State and the Liao State when the king is the emperor, not whether my Western Xia should wave the army to attack the Song State.
In fact, Weichen agrees with the opinion of Lord Zhongshu, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State are both big countries, and the most important thing in life is just face, once the king is called the emperor, the Song and Liao countries will definitely attack our country, so Weichen thinks that the king's top priority is how to prepare for the siege of Song Liao, rather than discussing how to dispel Song Liao's anger. Zhang Zhi immediately stood up to play a round and said in a deep voice to Xixia Yuanhao.
Zhang Zhi was originally a person from the Great Song Dynasty, and he failed to pass the imperial examination, and he was very dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, and finally talked to Fan Zhongyan in the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and said, "You can't be an official in the same dynasty, so you have to be an enemy in a different place!" Fan Zhongyan didn't care about Zhang Zhi's words at all, but Zhang Zhi really fled all the way to Xixia, and got Yuan Hao's attention and trust, in just a few years from a nobody to the position of a servant, the Yellow River borrowed a knife to kill, the strategy to eliminate dissidents was from his handwriting, his status in the Western Xia Wenchen is second only to Yeli Renrong, many times for Yuan Hao's advice, can be said to be Yuan Hao's right-hand man.
Zhang Zhi's words made most of the civil and military officials in the palace nod in agreement, you must know that Yuan Hao's claim to be the emperor is already a foregone conclusion, and the entire Western Xia is waiting for this matter with their eyes in their eyes, and the enthronement of the emperor is already Yuan Hao's arrow, and there is no turning back.
Since Yuan Hao ascended the throne and claimed that the emperor had settled down, and Song Liao would never let go of the Western Xia, there was no second way for the Western Xia court to go except to prepare for war.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Yuan Hao, who was high and higher, nodded approvingly, and his actions were seen by the Chinese Wu of the palace, since the plan of Yeli Renrong and Zhang Chen was passed by Yuan Hao, and the generals of the Western Xia army would definitely not oppose Yuan Hao, His Royal Highness's civil officials began to give advice to Yuan Hao, preparing to deal with Song Liao's offensive after Yuan Hao became emperor.
"King Qiqi! Weichen felt that Song Liao may not send troops to attack my Western Xia at the same time, although Song Liao has improved a lot after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, but before the alliance, the two countries have been enemies for generations, this hatred is not irresolvable overnight, if the Liao State raises troops to attack my Western Xia, the Song State will definitely not send troops at the same time, that is, the Song State wants to send troops, and the Liao State will not rest assured that the Song State, and the situation of the Song State is the same, once the Song State sends troops, Liao will be. Dingchen soldiers at the border, look at my Western Xia and will not send troops directly! However, Weichen thought that it was very likely that these countries would collude with the Song Dynasty to besiege our Western Xia, so Weichen thought that the king only needed to guard against one of the Song and Liao countries, and there were also the Huihu and Huihu. Zhang Jiang, the waiter of the Western Xia Shangshu Rite Department, was responsible for the collection of external intelligence, and he was clear about the grievances and grievances of the surrounding countries, and immediately expressed his views on Song Liao and other surrounding countries in the Western Xia.
Zhang Jiang is also a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is Zhang Zhi's nephew, who fled to Western Xia with his uncle, he was also valued by Yuan Hao, and entrusted with the important task of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Jiang did not live up to the important responsibility of Yuan Hao, and his vision of the international situation was very vicious. And the exhibition of things is just as Zhang Jiang expected, the Hui Cao family has just betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, which can not only not be trusted by the Hui Crane people, but also ignored by the Great Song Dynasty, and finally attacked by the Western Xia, which became a help to strengthen the Western Xia.
The abilities of Zhang Zhi and Zhang Jiang's uncle and nephew were called by Western Xia Yuanhao as "comparable to the uncle and nephew of the Xun family of the Cao family of the Three Kingdoms!" This shows the status and importance of Zhang's uncle and nephew in Western Xia.
"Think twice! The matter of being called the emperor is very important, and the impact on the party members of the Western Xia is even heavier, originally those tribes were dissatisfied because the king took away their military power, if the king was called the emperor, I am afraid that those tribes are even more dissatisfied, you must know that those party tribes are the basis of my Xixia, and the king has to consider the ideas of those tribes! Zhenbei Gongshan Yu walked the queue again, and said to Yuan Hao's bitter persuasion.
Shanyu's words made Yuan Hao glared angrily, and the other civil and military ministers in the hall also looked at the mountain and couldn't wait to pick his skin, you must know that Yuan Hao said that these people in the emperor's palace will be the direct beneficiaries, only a few people who are related to the tribe such as Shanyu are the losers, and when they hear that Shanyu opposes Yuan Hao as the emperor, these people can not be angry!
Yuan Hao pondered for a while, he looked at the stubborn clan uncle Shanyu, knowing that there was this old man, and the emperor always had a big obstacle, thinking of this, Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with murderous intentions, and he waved his hand and walked out of the hall angrily, leaving the Western Xia civil and military ministers who were angry at Shanyu.
