Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 59 The Princess
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed shines on my heart, the roses on the windowsill are fragrant, blooming your appearance, the lilacs in the rain, silently spitting fragrance! On the bank of the flower bridge, next to the willow tree, a pair of people walked by, the time that slipped away, leaving prosperity, imprinted with our past, looking back, happy appearance, who to lean on! The time that can't be kept, take away the sentimentality, and the rest of the heart sighs and recalls" Zhao Ta hummed a song that did not exist in this era and flipped through the book in the house.
"Prince Yan, the song you sing is so good, did you write it?" A girl looked at Zhao Ta and said, but she was a 'dress' exotic girl.
"Hin'er, your Uncle Wang has been gone for many days, why are you still in Lingzhou?" Zhao Tan frowned, looked at the girl helplessly and said.
"Prince Yan, you don't want to be called a chick, a chick, as if you are my elder, tell you again, my name is Li Xiaoxiao, the ninth princess of Daxia!" The girl jumped up and said angrily, "Besides, I'm here to do business in Da Song, you don't care how long I want to stay." ”
"Hehe, you are really right, in terms of relations between the two countries, our Great Song Dynasty is the king, and you are the ministers; In terms of selfishness, I and Brother Cha call me brothers, no matter what, you are also my junior, what's wrong with calling you a chick? Zhao Ta said with a smile, this girl is the niece of Brother Cha, the daughter of Li Qianshun, the king of Xia, the maid in the tent that day, and the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, "I still have to correct your mistake, now you should not be surnamed Li, my father has given you the surname of the Tuoba clan, you have to be called Zhao Xiaoxiao, and since you are here to do business in Lingzhou, then why do you have to stay in my camp all day long, so how can you do business?" ”
"You bully people, you don't care about how I do business. Anyway, when my uncle Wang left, you asked you to take care of me and ensure my safety in Lingzhou, is there a safer place in this Lingzhou City than you camping? Li Xiaoxiao was angry with Zhao Ta again, but her face turned cloudy and sunny, and she slowly sat down and said with a smile.
"Then you can't treat my palace as your home, follow me all day long, right?" Zhao Ta had a headache, this child is troublesome, gentle like a cat, and more like a cat, a few days ago, Brother Cha crossed the border to discuss with him. This kid came along, I don't know why Lu Dao consumed it with himself, it is a matter of the relationship between the 'two countries', and it is not good to turn his face with her!
"I don't want to go back, my father and Uncle Wang are in trouble now, my father said that Uncle Wang has a self-respecting army, and he wants to seize the throne with one hand in the court; Uncle Wang said that his father insisted on going his own way and wanted to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, causing the city to lose its land and the people to make a living. After that, he insisted on sending troops to aid Liao, but Li Liangfu was defeated and returned. angered the Jurchens and wanted to send troops to attack Xia. Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Ta as if she was really angry, poured a cup of tea for the prince, sighed and said, "In the past, my father Wang and Uncle Wang worked together to revive Daxia, and they always talked and laughed together, but now they are similar to enemies when they meet, and they are wary of each other, and I look sad." I don't listen to anyone, it's better to stay here and be happy! ”
"Oh, I see!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, he knows this matter too well, and of course his credit is indispensable to Brother Cha's discord between the two brothers. Zhao Ta certainly didn't want another strong neighbor to appear when there was no hope of destroying Xia, and making a country weak was not just about controlling him economically. The most effective way to suppress them by force is to keep them in civil strife, so that they can devote their minds to fighting for power and profit, and have no time to think about expanding their territory.
In Western Xia, the only one who could compete with Li Qianshun, the king of Xia, was his brother Chage. And Brother Cha is quite deep in the city, and on the surface, he is loyal to his brother and works tirelessly to fight in the east and west, but he has also accumulated contacts and cultivated his lineage. And Zhao Ta was also looking for a spokesperson in Western Xia, so he let go of Brother Cha several times, and helped him regain military power, won the right to speak in the court, and threatened Li Qianshun's throne, but it made him unable to really ascend to the throne, forming a situation of confrontation between the two forces.
"The balance is going to be broken, and it's not what I want for the Chago family to be dominant!" Zhao Ta ignored Li Xiaoxiao, who was still complaining, and pondered countermeasures. Li Qianshun insisted on aiding Liao to repay his kindness, but he didn't want to help Yelu Yanxi make a comeback and gain the support of the Liao State to fight against the growing Chage group, but Li Liangfu was not angry, not only failed to save the Liao State, but made Li Qianshun lose a cronies who could rely on him, and had to rely more on the strength of Chage to maintain his rule.
"Lord Wang, Uncle Wang and you are obviously negotiating trade matters, but in fact, I want you not to help my father!" Looking at Prince Yan who ignored him, Li Xiaoxiao touched Zhao Ta and said.
"You're thinking a lot, how can I tell you that's a secret!" Zhao Ta looked at her serious appearance and said with a smile, in fact, although Li Xiaoxiao was not all right, she was not far from ten. Now the Song Dynasty is the suzerainty of Western Xia, and if there is civil strife in their country, the Song can take advantage of this to send troops, and Zhao Ta's attitude as a feudal official is quite important.
"Hmph, if you don't say it, I also know it, you want to support my uncle Wang to seize the throne of my father!" Li Xiaoxiao pouted and glanced at Zhao Ta.
"Oh, how can you see that your uncle Wang's ascension to the throne is not good for me!" Zhao Ta chuckled, and secretly sighed in his heart that the sense of crisis of the royal descendants was fucking innate, and he could smell the smell of conspiracy from their words.
"Of course you can see it, Uncle Wang is respectful to you, but no one in the country pays attention to it, obviously he has a request for you, he is not short of power and wealth now, and he only thinks about that one thing." Li Xiaoxiao said with a wry smile, "As for the benefits, Lord Wang has always wanted to reopen the trade route to the Western Regions, I think Uncle Wang must have taken this as a condition in exchange!" ”
"Huh!" Zhao Ta laughed dryly twice and said nothing, thinking in his heart that this little woman seems innocent, innocent and cute, but she is actually quite scheming, "These are all adult things, don't worry about it, otherwise you will become an old woman!" ”
"Don't talk about me, don't you frown every day, you're a little old man now, you're only two years older than me!" Li Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, stretched out two jade fingers and gestured in front of Zhao Ta and said.
"Alas, I am the body of the prince, the life of the maid, the life of the donkey is the life of the work, I don't want to come to the northwest, but my father forced me to take office, and now hundreds of thousands of people want to eat and drink with me, can I not worry?" Zhao Tan couldn't help but sigh and shook his head and said.
"Lord, my father has sent a peace envoy to your Great Song Dynasty again, do you know the way?" Li Xiaoxiao looked at the appearance of the prince and smiled, and said suddenly.
"Zhilu Dao, who are you going to marry this time?" Zhao Ta said that after the Lingzhou Peace Conference last year, Xixia sent an envoy to Beijing to discuss the matter of peace, Brother Cha wanted to marry Zhao Ta, but Li Qianshun wanted his daughter to marry a prince, but Zhao Huan didn't want a foreign daughter-in-law at all, so he hung their field, so angry that Li Qianshun wanted to raise troops to retaliate, and now the old time is again, I don't know who Lu Dao wants to let be the son-in-law of Xixia
Decoration has entered the stage of tackling, although the efforts can be insufficient to have more than enough energy, the update is intermittent, sorry for everyone.
