125. War horse trade

In Chang'an City, in a mysterious house, a long-bearded man dressed in military uniform and wearing a felt hat was leaning against a gazebo, holding a wine jug and pouring it into his mouth.

"Lord Wang!"

"Don't drink!"

"Stop drinking!"

"I heard that Emperor Xu Ming is coming to see you soon!"

At this time, I only heard a man in cloth next to him remind.

"Then Xu Xian is here, what's all the fuss!"

"It's asking me this time, you know?"

"Understood?"

This long-bearded man is Li Qianyun, the king of the Northern Land of Western Xia.

"But...... But! ”

"But that Xu Xian is the emperor of their Ming Dynasty after all!"

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid it will be bad, not good for the Ming Emperor to see them like this!"

The cloth-clad man continued to persuade.

"What's wrong?"

"Even when the two emperors of the Jin Kingdom Wan Yan and Wan Yan Liang saw this king, they were all respectful, and it was only a secession leader who had not yet been recognized by our Great Western Xia Kingdom, could it be compared to those Jin emperors?"

Li Qianyun looked arrogant.

"How?"

"I heard that the king of the Northern Land of Western Xia is here!"

"Why can't you see the king of the Northland?"

Suddenly, Xu Xian's familiar voice came from not far away.

"Your Majesty!"

"The King of the Northland is waiting over there, Your Majesty!"

Then came the voice of another man.

"Really?"

"I look around, and there is no trace of the king of the Northern Land of Western Xia?"

"Did you say the drunkard who was still drinking over there?"

"The dignified King of the Northern Land of Western Xia will not be like a barbarian, so unruly in etiquette, right?"

Xu Xian deliberately amplified his voice.

"Who said that this king is a drunkard and a barbarian?"

"Who is it?"

"Who's talking?"

When Li Qianyun heard this, he stood up angrily.

"I said it!"

"What's wrong?"

"Who do I think is so bold as to dare to spread wild in my Ming Dynasty?"

"Could it be that you are Li Qianyun, the king of the Northern Land of Western Xia?"

Xu Xian was full of momentum at this time.

"This king is Li Qianyun!"

"You... As the lord of Xu Ming, your attitude is so fast and bad, since you dare to look down on this king? ”

"Don't you want horses?"

Li Qianyun once again showed an arrogant posture.

"Who looks down on whom, don't you have points in your heart?"

"You sell horses to us Daming, and we pay you Xixia, it is a fair deal between the two of us!"

"Please make it clear that the horses were not given to us by your Western Xia, so I don't want you, the so-called king of the Northland, to come to me with this attitude and get drunk!"

Xu Xian's momentum did not fall behind at all.

"Good!"

"So be it!"

"In the future, our Western Xia will trade with your Xu Ming's horses, so let's end here!"

Li Qianyun was angry and was about to leave.

"How?"

"I just arrived in Chang'an, and I heard that the King of the Northland is waiting for me here, so I came to see you sincerely, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and rude!"

"It seems that your Western Xia is really a barbarian country and a rude country!"

The more Xu Xian spoke, the more angry he became.

"Humph!"

"Our Great Xia is originally a barbarian, what's wrong?"

"Are you still Song Ting's thief?"

"An anti-thief leader, what qualifications do you have to accuse our Great Xia Kingdom?"

Li Qianyun responded.

"Haha!"

"Anti-thief?"

"Your founder of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao, didn't he swear allegiance to the Song court before the founding of the country, and then he also betrayed the Song court to establish the country?"

"Why aren't you the rebels of the Song court?"

Xu Xian immediately retorted.

"That's ridiculous... Amusing! ”

"Our Western Xia has been recognized by the Song, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms, how can we be like you Xu Ming, and now we are still not right!"

Li Qianyun was obviously not drunk, and his mind was still very sober.

"You say that our name is not right, so do you still know that our name is Xu Ming?"

"It's not a joke?"

"Big joke?"

"Haha...!"

"Haha...... Ha ha! ”

Xu Xian said, laughing with everyone around him.

"You Central Plains people are really messing around!"

"This king is here this time to renegotiate the price of war horses with you!"

After Li Qianyun saw that he was not taking advantage, he changed the topic.

"You're going to renegotiate the price of the horses?"

"Could it be that you dislike the low price that our Daming gave you?"

"In order to buy your Western Xia war horses, we have given a price much higher than that of Jinren, and we are not satisfied with this price!"

On the side, Lu You couldn't help but spoke.

"After all, war horses are very scarce now, and what our Great Xia Kingdom has obtained from the Western Regions is getting less and less, and it takes too long to train war horses that can fight!"

"So if you are not willing to give more gold and silver, our Great Xia Kingdom will not be able to supply war horses to you in the future!"

Li Qianyun had a threatening expression.

"Humph...!"

"You're like this, you're too open-mouthed, aren't you?"

"As far as I know!"

"Your own war horse cultivation in Western Xia has never increased or decreased in the past two years, and almost all the horses from the Western Regions have been cut off by your Western Xia!"

"If you Xixia feel that there are fewer horses from the Western Regions, you can hand over the horse trade with the Western Regions to our Daming to take care of for you!"

"I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Of course, Lu You already knew the details.

"I'll take care of you?"

"The beauty of thought!"

"Anyway, if you don't want to add money, then don't think about buying our Great Xia Kingdom's war horses in the future!"

Li Qianyun still looked threatening.

"Do you think that only you Western Xia have war horses for sale?"

"I'll tell you!"

"Our Majesty has sent people to contact the Kingdom of Jin, Mongolia, as well as Tubo and Dali!"

"They have all agreed to sell us Ming War Horses!"

"So you Xixia don't sell our war horses, others will sell them to us!"

Lu You is also not used to this Li Qianyun at all.

"Humph...!"

"Now that you have occupied so much land in the Jin Kingdom, will the Jin Kingdom sell you war horses?"

"It is impossible for the Jin Kingdom to sell your war horses, and it is impossible to allow the war horses of the Mongols to go south to you!"

"Don't fool the king here!"

Li Qianyun looked incredulous.

"Haha!"

"That's because you don't know the situation in our Central Plains now!"

"Before, our majesty had personally gone to the Daimyo's Mansion and reached an agreement with the Jin State, and the content of the agreement was that the Jin State provided war horses to our Daming, and if you don't believe it, you can ask someone to go to the Jin Kingdom to inquire!"

"The Jin Kingdom is now counting on the defeat of both of us and the Song Dynasty, isn't it natural that they provide us with the Ming War Horse?"

"Since the Jin Kingdom is willing to agree to give us war horses, do you think the Jin Kingdom will still prevent us from buying the Mongols' war horses?"

Lu You retorted.

At this time, Xu Xian had quietly left the place where the negotiation was located with Tu Dan Hexi, and came to the location of the Daming Palace, the once most prosperous palace in Chang'an City, after all, he is now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is inconvenient to interfere in the negotiations.

At this time, although a new temporary temple had been built in the ruins, there were still a pile of ruins and broken walls around it.

"Wait until September 8 of next year, and my flowers will bloom into a hundred flowers to kill!"

"I didn't expect that after Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he burned down all the halls of the Tang Palace, especially this Daming Palace, which is really embarrassing!"

Xu Xian said to himself.

"yes!"

"What a prosperous place Daming Palace was back then, I didn't expect to experience the three catastrophes of Huangchao, Li Maozhen, and Zhu Wen, and it could be regarded as completely destroyed!"

"If Your Majesty wants to re-operate this Chang'an and rebuild Daming Palace, it is actually not difficult!"

Tu Shan Hexi immediately said on the side.

"Rebuild the Daming Palace?"

"How much money does this cost?"

"Instead of wasting a lot of money to rebuild this Daming Palace, I might as well use this money as military salaries, reward the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the war, help the people resume production, and strengthen the foundation of my Daming!"

"Alas... But it's not a day's work! ”

Xu Xian has come to this point, of course, he understands that all this is not easy.
