"Tuolei, don't hide inside and keep silent, I know you're on the city wall, you have the ability to protect the thief in Wokotai, why don't you have the ability to open the door? ——”

Hua Zheng had a peach blossom horse in his crotch, holding a flower gun, and called the battle under the central capital, Meng Gong, Guo Jing, Zhang Shijie and others, lined up behind her to watch the enemy's array.

Guo Jing also took off the iron-tired bow early, put on three withered arrows, and buckled them on the string.

Although Guo Jing also felt that it was unlikely that someone in the central capital was plotting against Hua Zheng, Guo Jing did not dare to take it lightly.

The city wall at the south gate of the Zhongdu City has already been much taller and thicker than when Guo Mo and the others made trouble in the Zhongdu City.

Two more arrow towers were built on the left and right, and the city wall was also filled with ash bottle cannons, rolling wood and stones, and the front of the city wall was also covered with a thick layer of cooked cowhide, which could effectively defend against arrows.

And on the left and right sides of the city wall of the South City Gate, there are actually two terrifying eight-bull crossbows.

In this day and age, this thing is a big killer to defend the city!

This kind of crossbow arrow can fire dozens of arrows at the same time, and the range can reach about three hundred zhang, not to mention a person of flesh and blood, even a war horse wearing several layers of heavy armor can be pierced.

"Meng Dutong, Master Uncle, this middle capital city is not easy to fight, unless we build a large number of whirlwind cannons or well fences, or we will get out the gunpowder that the master said."

Once giving a lecture to the apprentices, Guo Mo mentioned gunpowder when he said that he had leaked his mouth, saying how powerful gunpowder was, and it was effortless to attack the city.

Afterwards, the eldest apprentice Zhang Shijie asked Guo Mo several times, but he, who was a master, never admitted it again, in fact, Guo Mo still had some concerns in his heart, and he didn't know if he should drum up this kind of cross-era weapon?

"Tuo Lei, who is stationed in the middle capital, is Hua Zheng's own brother, and he is also Anda who I and my second brother married when we were young, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when soldiers met."

Guo Jing's relationship with Tuo Lei is deeper than Guo Mo's, and the two of them knew each other earlier, and they can be regarded as a friendship that "fell" since childhood.

Most of Guo Jing's initial wrestling kung fu was learned from Tuo Lei, and Tuo Lei also helped Guo Jing's family in life in his early years.

The head of the central capital is densely covered with flags, and from the shaking of the flagpole, it can be known that there are indeed many sergeants stationed.

Hua Zheng shouted for half an hour, and on the city wall, someone finally showed his head.

"Master—"

"Daddy—"

The one who poked his head out was a Mongolian man in his fifties, looking at Hua Zheng who was calling for battle under the city, and Guo Jing and others not far away, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable.

"Princess Huazheng, you better go back first."

"Master Jebel? Will you also protect the Wokodai, which is inferior to the beast? ”

Hua Zheng saw that the person who appeared at the head of the city was Guo Jing and Guo Mo's riding and archery master Zhebe, and it was not easy to be too presumptuous in his words.

"Princess Huazheng, whether it is the last general or the Khan of Tuolei, she is not shielding him."

"However, after all, he was the person chosen by the Great Khan on his deathbed, and when the Great Khan was dying, he always remembered the great cause of the steppe, not his personal safety and honor."

"Great cause? Why is it a great cause? Is it for the sake of great cause that human nature must be annihilated? For the sake of the so-called great cause, do you even care about the flesh and blood affection? ”

"Master Jebe, you are an elder, Hua Zheng can't say anything, you let Tuo Lei come out to see me-"

In the end, Tuo Lei didn't show up, I don't know if he was really ashamed to see Hua Zheng, or if he was really not on this city wall.

......

"The 'Jingnan Army' was promoted to control Guo Jing, and he was crowned as the Marquis of Jingbian, taking charge of the defense of Hebei Xinjiang, and leading an army of 20,000 'Jingnan Army' to garrison Hejian Mansion."

"Promote 'Mrs. Zhao Guo' Hua Zheng as the chief general of Zhending Mansion, and lead 20,000 'Jingnan Army' to garrison Zhending Mansion."

"Zhang Shijie was promoted to 'Dun Wulang', Wu Nantian, Hu Yande and Haji, all of whom were 'Cong Yilang', led the Yan King to escort 5,000 troops, and under the account of 'Mrs. Zhao Guo', they were jointly stationed in Zhending Mansion."

"The 'Dunwu Army' was promoted to control the Meng Communist Party, and he was crowned as the Marquis of Dingbian, taking charge of the defense of Hedong Frontier, and leading the 'Dunwu Army' to garrison Taiyuan."

"Zhao Chengyu was promoted to be the deputy commander of the Yan King Guards, leading five thousand Yan King Guards to garrison Luoyang."

The army of the Great Song Dynasty did not launch an attack on the Tuolei army in the middle capital in the end.

After waiting for more than ten days, Meng Gong, Guo Jing and others finally received the holy decree from Lin'an.

Now the Privy Council has long been in vain, or the official Zhao Kuo has replaced the power of the Privy Council.

It's just that when making decisions, he will convene the six Shangshu, work together, and temporarily announce it to the outside world in the form of a holy decree.

The Northern Expedition, from the dispatch of troops to the end, took more than two months before and after.

The Great Song Dynasty sent 100,000 troops, and the losses were negligible, but they all took the land of the eight prefectures of Hebei.

And places like Shandong East Road, such as Dengzhou, Yidufu, Mizhou, etc., nominally belong to the Dajin Kingdom, but in fact have become borderless places.

However, the Great Song Dynasty had limited military and official reserves, and it was not yet able to effectively incorporate these areas into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for the time being.

After this battle, although Wokotai had retreated back to the outside of Juyong Pass, the defense of Juyong Pass was still in his hands.

It is equivalent to saying that the towing mine has become a powerful line of defense for the protection of Wokotai in the south.

However, Yanjing Road, Liaodong and other places completely fell into the hands of Tuolei, and the Goryeo he had obtained before was finally connected.

The worst is the Dajin Kingdom, which still retains more than 100,000 troops, but has lost three-quarters of its territory.

What is really in the hands is only Bianjing Road and some areas of Shanxi East Road, such as Kaifeng Mansion, Zhengzhou, Guide Mansion, Caizhou, Xuzhou, Xuzhou, Yingzhou, etc.

In such a small place, it has to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, and after a few years, the finances of the Jin State may be emptied.

"Hua Zheng, the second brother specially came with a letter to say sorry to you, I couldn't avenge you."

Guo Jing held a letter from Guo Mo in his hand, in which he acquiesced in the results of the Northern Expedition, but also apologized to Hua Zheng euphemistically, and once again irresponsibly, threw several apprentices to Guo Jing again.

"Ah Jing, how can I blame the second senior brother, he has done enough for me, even Brother Tuolei ran over from Gaoli to protect him, what else can I do?"

Family and country hatred, in the hearts of men and women, have completely different standards and experiences.

It had been a year since Temujin's death, and Hua Zheng's heart slowly calmed down, and she suddenly felt that she was so weak and powerless.

She is Genghis Khan's princess Huazheng, the brightest pearl on the grassland, she wants to become stronger, strong enough to shelter the relatives she wants to shelter.

......

July is hot, and this year's July seems to be exceptionally hot, and even Lin'an, which has always been mild in previous years, is also irritable at this time.

Today is the last big court meeting in July, and since Shi Miyuan returned to his hometown to recuperate, Lin'an City seems to be much calmer.

Even at the court meeting, the civil and military forces were all in harmony, and the most discussed topics were none other than the territories recovered by His Royal Highness King Yan.

At first, he was not very well received, and he was even worried that going there as an official might take more risks than in the Great Song Dynasty, so many people were waiting and watching.

Two or three years have passed, and those officials who were among the first to pass have made tangible achievements and their official positions have become bigger and bigger, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of many people.

When I wanted to find a way to go there, I found that it was self-contained, and it was not something that Lin'an could control at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that the territory and army built by His Royal Highness King Yan in recent years are not much worse than the original Great Song Dynasty, and their combat power is much higher.

Many officials in Lin'an are confused.

They watched as the once invincible Great Jin Kingdom became fragmented like that, and more territory was magically taken over by His Royal Highness King Yan.

So, where will the Great Song Dynasty go in the future?

How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deal with himself?

Shi Miyuan's departure, there are many people in the government and the opposition who are excited, but there are also many people who are panicked all day long.

On this day, the official Zhao Kuansheng sat in the "Daqing Palace", and the official family has been more and more proud recently.

Just last month, Zhao Kuo, who was fifty-seven years old, actually let a concubine in the harem conceive a dragon seed.

Something that has not happened for many years made Lao Zhao's heart swell again.

"Zhongqing, there is something to start, today is the last big court meeting in July, if there is nothing important, go back and rest early, this hot day ......"

Zhao Kuo has gained some weight recently, Xu is both physical and mental pleasure, and his appetite is great, and he is no longer as afraid of the delicacies of the mountains and seas as he was in the past.

"Qi Qi official, the old minister has a book to play——"

Standing in the purple robe in the forefront of civil officials, one person from the class played loudly.

"Oh, Lao Cheng, what's the matter with you?"

When Zhao Kuo saw that the person who came out of the class was Cheng Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Sima of the Yanwang Mansion, he couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that another delegation from the Jin Kingdom came to trouble him?

In the past two or three years, in the post house in Lin'an, there has almost never been a figure of the Jin State Mission.

Of course, they are not here to show off their might, let alone to extort, they are all lining up to see our Cheng Shangshu to do something.

"Official, two days ago, the old minister received two envoys, the situation is special, and the old minister does not dare to be self-dedicated, so he specially asked the official family in person at today's court meeting."

Two days ago?

Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled.

It is said that with Cheng Jue's qualifications, if there is really something particularly important, he can go directly to the palace to find the official family, instead of waiting for the court meeting two days later.

You know, big talks about small things, small meetings do big things.

If it is a trivial matter, Zhao Kuo himself will not believe it, Lao Cheng Jue is not the royal history, he will casually take some hearsay things for fun when he is full.

In fact, after Cheng Jue received the two envoys, he first met with Shi Xueji, the secretary of the Ministry and the right head of the Yanwang Mansion, and Nan Xiren, the "Nanshan Qiaozi", and then Cheng Weijing in the imperial history.

After discussion, it was Lao Xue Ji who gave Cheng Jue the idea to tell him in public at the court meeting two days later.

"Cheng Qing, what makes you so cautious? Isn't that your style of doing things? Haha-"

Zhao Kuo didn't forget to make fun of Lao Cheng Jue.

"The official family, receiving foreign missions was originally the duty of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, but these two missions are a little special, one is from Western Xia, and the other is from the Luo Ghost Country."

"Oh-"

After Cheng Jue finished speaking, not only the official Zhao Kuo, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were interested.

The Luo Ghost Kingdom once came to Lin'an to worship a few years ago, and when the Great Song Dynasty needed it most, he gave away 8,000 war horses.

For this reason, Zhao Kuo also specially issued a holy decree to form an alliance with the Luo ghost country An Clan, forever be a friendly neighbor, and gave the surname of An Simo, the son of the An family, Zhao, renamed Zhao Simo, and was named 'King of Yongnan', hereditary replacement.

Xixia is even more amazing, a few years ago, even if the Great Song Dynasty came to the door with a heavy gift, people may not be willing to receive you, and it is even more difficult to exchange some war horses from them.

Moreover, at that time, Western Xia did not border with the Great Song Dynasty, and there were not many exchanges with each other, so I didn't want to send envoys now.

It seems that it is still the credit of His Royal Highness King Yan, who won the entire Hedong and Guanzhong Plain, and can be regarded as a neighbor with Western Xia.

"Where are their envoys? Let's go to the 'Daqing Hall' as well—"

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has turned over and become a strong country, envoys have come from both places, and Lao Zhao Kuo always has to put on a show.

"The envoys of the two countries are outside the palace, and the official family will order someone to announce it."

It seems that Cheng Jue has been prepared for a long time.

"Old man, go and invite someone up."

The old eunuch glanced at Cheng Jue, and then at Xue Ji and Wei Jing next to him, and said in his heart that these three bad old men are very bad, so they may have any heart.

There was not much time, and two people walked up from outside the "Daqing Palace".

One of them was dressed in black, and his head was wrapped in black cloth, and his hat was coiled into a disc-shaped shape, and a beautiful pheasant feather was inserted at the front of the hat.

The other was dressed in a white robe, wide and broad, with a red figure painted on his forehead, and a necklace made of unknown animal bones hanging from his neck.

Dressed in black, Zhao Kuo also knew that it was the last time he came, Elder Shi of the Luo Clan Ghost Country, and his identity in the Luo Clan Ghost Country was equivalent to the commander of the palace's inner guards.

The other one in a white robe didn't know him, but looking at his distinctive national costume, he was naturally a party member from the east.

"Foreign Minister Luo's Ghost Country Shi Ming Visits the Great Song Dynasty Official Family——"

Elder Shi, an old acquaintance, bowed down first.

"Foreign Minister Dabai Shangguo Li Dehai visits the official family of the Great Song Dynasty——"

Looking at the envoys of the two countries who paid homage in the "Daqing Palace", the official Zhao Kuo's heart was called a beauty.

Look, this is the style that Qiang Song has to have, I have a good son.

"Haha, it's fun to have friends from afar? The two of you came from afar, and they worked hard all the way, but I don't know what I called Lin'an? ”

Elder Shi didn't speak immediately, as if he wanted to see why this envoy from Western Xia had come?

In the eyes of their Luo Ghost Country, Western Xia is also the existence of a big country and a powerful country, and this little bit of humility still needs to be there.

Li Dehai did not hesitate and said.

"The foreign minister is here for two purposes."

"First, a few days ago, His Royal Highness King Yan of your country went to Zhongxing Mansion, and I hit it off at first sight, and the Emperor Taishang made an appointment with His Royal Highness King Yan to come to Anxizi Lake to live for the rest of the day."

"The foreign minister is here, it can be regarded as a front station to see how the house is prepared?"

"Second, the Emperor Taishang repaired a letter and asked the foreign ministers to present it in front of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, wanting to marry my country's 'Princess Yincheng' to His Royal Highness King Yan, and give the entire Yinzhou as a dowry to King Yan."

"What? ——”

"Shhhh

As soon as Li Dehai's words fell, countless people in the "Daqing Palace" were gasping.

This is too exaggerated, too incredible, right?

The emperor of a country is coming to Ancheng for retirement? Is this possible?

What of their "Yincheng princesses" will be married to His Royal Highness King Yan, this article is more or less said in the past, and intermarriage between countries is normal.

It's just that there aren't too many women like this who take the initiative to come to the door.

The biggest trick is to use the entire Yinzhou as a dowry?

Yinzhou is repaid, and its influence in Western Xia can at least rank in the top three, right?

Even Elder Shi, who was listening on the sidelines, was almost petrified.

Is this still the Great Xia Kingdom that dominates the northwest?

Or is the Great Song Dynasty now so powerful that people worship it?

Although Shi Ming is a martial artist, he is a rough man, and he has been in a high position for a long time over the years, and subtly, he still understands the big things that are right and wrong.

It's just that he came this time to do the duty of guarding, and he was not given too much power, and he really didn't dare to make his own decisions about some things.

"Envoy Li, what you just said is true? A few days ago, King Yan had a letter coming saying that he would place a house on the shore of West Lake. The mansion has been prepared, but I didn't expect it to be prepared for the emperor of your country? ”

"I remember how old Brother Li is, if I really want to come to Lin'an, I will go out of Lin'an for ten miles to greet him, and I will often go over to disturb each other, and go boating and fishing on the West Lake, hahaha-"

Old Zhao Kuo was really happy at this time, and he laughed so much that tears flowed out.

"Official, how can a foreign minister talk nonsense? This matter was personally decided by the Emperor Taishang and His Royal Highness King Yan, and my king also nodded and agreed. It's just that the summer is hot, and the Emperor Taishang won't leave until August. ”

"Actually, the main errand of the foreign minister here is the marriage between the 'Princess Yincheng' and His Royal Highness King Yan, there is a letter written by the Emperor Taishang here, and I hope that the official family will allow it——"

Li Dehai took out a finely handmade brocade bag from the sleeve of his robe, which seemed to be a silk letter.

The old eunuch glanced at the official Zhao Kuo, walked down the steps and took it with his own hands, and carefully checked it himself before taking out a bright yellow silk book from it.

I looked at the silk book carefully, not to see the contents, but to check whether there was anything unclean.

"Haha, you old thing, are you so cautious?"

Although Zhao Kuo said so, he still patiently waited for the old eunuch to finish the inspection before taking it with confidence.

Sure enough, the content of the silk book is the same as what this person named Li Dehai said.

What kind of medicine is sold in this Emperor Emperor's gourd?

Is he really willing to make such a big deal?

It's marrying a princess again, and sending it to Yinzhou, is it possible that Xixia has reached the point of life and death?

Or did Xiao Qi give them some promises?

"Haha, Envoy Li, I know what is said in the silk book. I am in favor of this matter, but the stakes are high, and I still need to discuss it with a few important ministers. ”

"It's rare for Envoy Li to come to Lin'an, so let the people from the Ministry of Rites arrange for Envoy Li to have a good time in Lin'an for a few days, and I will give you an answer after three days?"

Zhao Kuan's years of experience in governance made him feel that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

did not agree on the spot, and planned to consult with a few resourceful (insidious and cunning) ministers after the court meeting.

"That's fine, the foreign minister's mission is completed, and he will retire for the time being, and wait for the good news of the official family."

Li Dehai, the envoy of Western Xia, bowed down again and withdrew from the "Daqing Palace".

"Haha, Elder Shi has kept you waiting for a long time, but you are an old friend of mine, so you shouldn't be picky, right?"

Lao Zhao Kuo, who is in good condition, is really a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and he is more experienced than Cheng Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to deal with these foreign messengers.

"How dare you, the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, and now it is the first powerful country in the country, and the foreign ministers congratulate the official family——"

After Shi Ming finished speaking, he performed the most solemn etiquette of their nation.

"The first power? Haha, Elder Shi has an overreputation, and the Great Song Dynasty is still far behind, so he has to continue to work hard. I don't know what Elder Shi is doing when he comes to Lin'an this time? ”

"Qi Qi official's family, the foreign minister came to Lin'an this time, mainly to protect the duty. Things are somewhat similar to what the Western Xia envoy said, but my Luo Clan Ghost Kingdom is not too emperor, but the 'King of Yongnan' who is personally appointed by the official family——"

Elder Shi said respectfully.

"King Yongnan? ...... What? Elder Shi, did you just say that your King Yongnan has arrived in Lin'an? ”

Old Zhao Kuo was so shocked that he stood up from the dragon chair.

The king of Yongnan himself?

Who else can there be, that is the child named An Simo, who changed himself to Zhao Simo.

It's five years old, right?

"Official, King Yongnan is just outside the 'Daqing Palace', if it's convenient, the ministers can bring him up now. It's just that King Yongnan is still young, and the ministers are worried that he will lose his honor before the king......"

"What's the loss? Go, let the kids come—"

Lao Zhao Kuo was very excited, this is also his own grandson!

Although, on Peach Blossom Island, Zhao Kuo has hugged Guo Yi, Guo Xiang and Guo Xiao more than once, but who is a grandfather and thinks that there are many grandsons?

Especially this official family, he gave birth to nine sons, and only Guo Mo survived, he wished that Guo Mo could marry a few more daughters-in-law and give birth to more grandchildren and granddaughters.

Seeing Zhao Kuo so excited, Elder Shi was relieved and came to the outside of the "Daqing Palace" in person.

Zhao Simo, who was more than five years old, was waiting there, because of his young age, he was accompanied by two palace maids to rest in the side hall.

"Young master, you will see an old man in a while, wearing a red robe, you can just call grandfather in the past, the more you call, the happier he will be."

Elder Shi squatted down and kept instructing in Zhao Simo's ear.

Xiao Simo nodded as if he didn't understand, stood up from the embroidery pier, and tidied up his clothes decently.

On the "Daqing Palace", the official Zhao Kuo waited a little impatiently, complaining about why this Elder Shi had been gone for so long?

"Official, look, isn't that coming?"

The old eunuch saw the irritability of the official family, and leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Sure enough, at the door of the "Daqing Palace", the figure of Elder Shi appeared again, and in front of him was a child more than three feet tall.

Elder Shi was dressed in Miao costumes, but this child was wearing the costumes of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were so many people in the "Daqing Palace", this child did not have stage fright at all.

"Like, really like, Xiao Qi's children, why do they all look exactly like when he was a child?"

Zhao Kuo saw Zhao Simo walking into the "Daqing Palace" above, and muttered to himself.

The old eunuch listened to it, but he pursed his lips and secretly slandered himself.

Aside from Guo Xiang's little girl, the remaining male babies, whether Guo Yi, Guo Xiao, and Zhao Simo in front of them, have their own characteristics, how did they become exactly the same as the Seventh Master?

"Elder Shi said, I can call you grandfather? ——”

Xiao Simo entered the "Daqing Palace", kept walking forward, and looked up to see Zhao Kuo sitting on the dragon chair.

That's right, it should be this old man, with big red clothes, so he asked directly.

"Haha, of course, of course you can call me grandfather."

Zhao Simo has a milky voice, and his voice is different from the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, perhaps the person who taught him to speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty since he was a child also has a strong dialect accent.

Zhao Kuo couldn't control himself anymore, walked down directly from the steps, bent down and hugged Zhao Simo.

"Zhongqing, if you don't have anything else to do, just stay where it's cool—"

"By the way, Xue Qing, Cheng Qing, a few of you Shangshu, and Wei Qing, you will come to Funing Palace to find me in a while, hahaha-"

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Kuo actually hugged Xiao Simo like this, left the "Daqing Palace" from the side door, and went to the harem.

"Elder Shi, you wait outside the palace gate first, and Lao Cheng will help you ask in a while, see what kind of charter the official family has."

This Elder Shi hasn't said the purpose of coming to Lin'an, as soon as he brought Zhao Simo in, he was directly taken away by the official family, he can't follow up too, right?

By the time Xue Ji, Cheng Jue, Hu Yu, Meng Zongzheng, Wei Jing and Song Ci arrived at Funing Palace, Zhao Kuo had already placed all kinds of palace cakes in front of Xiao Simo, and also hung a sour plum soup.

Song Ci is the most junior here, but Zhao Rushu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has been far away in Luoyang Yanwangfu in the past few years, and Song Ci has become the real person in charge of the Criminal Department.

Seeing that everyone had come in, Zhao Kuocai reluctantly asked the palace maid to move Xiao Simo and those eaters to the side hall.

"Old man, let the imperial dining room send a few more bowls of chilled sour plum soup-"

These are all his own and his son's ministers, and Zhao Kuo has long been familiar with the details of small favors and small favors.

"Cheng Qing, honestly explain the matter of today's court meeting, you arranged it single-handedly, right?"

After everyone sat down, Zhao Kuo spoke first.

In the end, he has been an official for so many years, and after calming down, the causes and consequences can naturally be analyzed.

"Hehe, the official family praised it falsely, Lao Cheng didn't dare to take this credit. Even if I have to pull Lao Cheng, I am just an accomplice, and the main culprit is our Xue Dashangshu. ”

Okay, this pig teammate sold people in front of him.

"You, you, I understand your thoughts, it's just to build momentum for Xiao Qi."

"However, I also have some questions that I don't understand, Xixia's move this time is a bit big, and their emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"In the early years, he attached himself to Mongolia and contained the Jin State, but later he had a dirty relationship with Mongolia, so he retired himself and let his son ascend to the throne."

But he let his son get close to the Jin Kingdom and go together to deal with the Mongols. Now, Jin Guo couldn't see it anymore, and turned his head directly to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"I can understand when he comes to Lin'an, and I can understand if I marry a princess, but why do I want to send a silver state?"

Zhao Kuo asked everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Xue Ji, he knew that if someone could answer this question, this person would be Xue Ji.

"Official, the old minister thinks that the emperor of Western Xia has three purposes."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xue Ji was no longer clumsy.

"Oh, Xue Qing, please say, I would like to hear about it."

"First, the territory of Western Xia has become a battlefield for several forces to compete, with Mongolia occupying one-third and Wanyankang occupying one-quarter."

"Now that my Great Song Dynasty has won Hedong and Guanzhong, with the strength of His Royal Highness King Yan, how can I not go to Western Xia to mix in?"

"Instead of letting King Yan seize it by force, it is better to send you a state directly, anyway, Yinzhou is under King Yan's troops."

"Second, the entire eastern part of Western Xia, from north to south, is followed by the forces of Mongolia and Wanyankang, and then to the south is this Yinzhou."

"It can be said that the north, east, and south sides of Yinzhou are not the sphere of influence of Western Xia, and it is not much different if Yinzhou is an enclave."

"Sending Yinzhou to His Royal Highness King Yan, not only can you befriend King Yan, but won't it attract a competitor to Wan Yankang and the Mongols?"

"Third, maybe it's because I'm thinking too much, and I'm only saying it for the reference of the officials and you."

"His Royal Highness King Yan, all of us here know his true identity and will not have other thoughts, but this Emperor of Western Xia is not."

"He knows that my Great Song Dynasty has a crown prince in the court, but he befriended His Royal Highness King Yan with such fanfare, does he really not have a trace of evil thoughts?"

"Shhhh

Xue Ji's words made everyone in the Funing Palace feel a little creepy and shudder.

After a long time, this is such a big good thing to send a Yinzhou, I can't wait to see if a pie has fallen from the sky, and there are so many murderous intentions hidden behind it?

"That, Lao Xue, could it be that you are thinking too much? As for the old immortal in Western Xia, can he have such a good brain? ”

Cheng Jue sat next to Xue Ji, and he admired Xue Ji's resourcefulness a hundred times, but after listening to him analyze these three points, he always felt that it was too evil.

"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. Xiao Qi once said that if you are worried about something bad happening, then it is very likely to happen. ”

After listening to Xue Ji's analysis, Zhao Kuo also figured out the taste.

"Haha, the official family doesn't need to worry too much, even if the Emperor Taishang of Western Xia really plans to do so, we don't need to worry about it."

"Don't forget, His Royal Highness King Yan is the biological son of the official family, this is the greatest guarantee for our invincible position."

Xue Ji was right, and he was tactful enough.

Unless the official Zhao Kuo really doubts and suspects his only son, if he really wants to do that kind of self-destructive thing, even if all the people in this Funing Hall are great gods, it will not help.

"Okay, this matter is settled, 'Princess Yincheng'? Xixia can be regarded as losing his wife and losing the city this time. ”

"Three days later, Lao Cheng will reply to the envoy of Western Xia in the name of your Ministry of Rites."

"I hope you don't tell Xiao Qi about this for the time being, you all know his temperament, let him know in advance, he may not agree to this marriage."

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, in the past few years, Zhao Kuo still knows a little about Guo Mo.

Zhao Kuo's resolution won the unanimous approval of everyone present.

Guo Mo, who was far away in Yinzhou, never dreamed that he would be arranged for a marriage by a group of old men like this.
