Zhao Zhen changed into civilian clothes and was surrounded by Zhengde Gate to the south.

As for why you don't take the Xuanwu Gate in the north, it's because the Xuanwu Gate is the gate for sending troops, and there are forbidden army handles all the year round, so it's not lively at all.

The reason why Xu Mao suggested that Zhao Zhen go out was to let him relax, and naturally he would not go to Xuanwu Gate.

And outside the Suzaku Gate is the Royal Street, and the flow of people is like weaving.

People have always been social animals, and it is natural for them to get together, and the so-called crowd is lively...... And most of those who live in isolation have been detached from low-level tastes.

Zhao Zhen was thinking about his thoughts, and slowly approached the Vermilion Bird Gate all the way.

"Hooray!"

Suddenly there was a cheer in the distance.

Xu Mao was taken aback, and subconsciously blocked in front of Zhao Zhen, shouting: "Protect Your Majesty!" Come on......"

The guards surrounded Zhao Zhen in the middle and prepared to go back.

It's scary to go out of here!

They are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid that something will happen to Zhao Zhen, otherwise none of them will be able to escape, and they will all have to lose their heads.

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Listen to the sound from afar, go up to the city and take a look." ”

"Your Majesty, who can afford to live long live? I'm afraid that someone outside is plotting rebellion, let's go back to the palace early, there is a forbidden army outside, and it will be fine. ”

Xu Mao was a little excited, no, he was afraid.

This idea of rebellion happens from time to time, and I don't know what the old Zhao family has done, and there will be some idlers who make trouble several times a year.

In the past, it was mostly local trouble...... But recently, it has been rumored that some forces in those places are coming to the capital!

Lao Xu hated that at this moment, countless soldiers came to the city to protect themselves.

But the people couldn't resist the emperor, so they escorted him to the city.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhengdemen is the imperial city, and the two rows of buildings that come in are the territory of Zaifu, and then there is the inner palace.

Zhongshu Political Affairs Hall, Menxia Xiushi Academy, these are all Zaifu's territory, but the first one on the right side of the door is the Privy Council, and they are the closest to the city gate.

At this time, the Zai Fu had already heard the sound, and when they saw Zhao Zhen in Shangchengtou, they all followed.

"Hooray!"

The second cheer came, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.

When they got to the top of the city, they saw the people looking out into the city.

A troop of cavalry was galloping towards a few civilian officials.

Riding a horse in Bianliang City is no different from suicide, just a crime of intending to disturb the Holy Driver, it is enough to be exiled for three thousand miles.

Those imperial histories are like bloodthirsty sharks, which will make you regret it, and you will hate to go back in time, and would rather ride a horse and a man.

But today is different.

A group of cavalry galloped through the city surrounded by several civil officials, and the people in front of them got out of the way, and then cheered in fascination.

"Hooray!"

Several civil officials were dark-faced, with many cracks on their faces. At this gallop, the crack on his face was blown open by the cold wind, and immediately the blood flowed down, and he was daunted.

But at the moment, their faces are full of pride!

At the forefront, at this moment he hated to wave the knots in his hands.

Since the former Tang Dynasty, the envoys only carried seals, and there were no festivals.

The cold wind blew on his face, and he felt something clammy and cold running down, but the hot blood in his chest made him forget the pain.

He raised his arms and shouted: "Western Xia bows his head and sends an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to be a minister!" Xiping Mansion returns to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

The unwitting people then became ecstatic, and then raised their arms and shouted: "Hurray! ”

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been almost rare victories in foreign wars.

Even if they win occasionally, they don't get much benefit, and they even return the land they have exchanged for flesh and blood on the battlefield to their enemies at the negotiating table.

And diplomacy goes without saying.

Starting from Zhao Laoer, the diplomacy of the Great Song Dynasty was a giant with feet of clay, whether it was to the Liao people or the Western Xia, it was not pleased, and even later suffered from the Jiaozhi people.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Western Xia state, everyone was worried about whether there would be a war.

Some people are in favor of the war, after all, let the rebel of Western Xia establish a country under his nose, and this humiliation must be washed away with blood, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will lose face.

But there is a group of people who are worried that after the war, the Great Song Dynasty will lose...... Wouldn't that be more humiliating?

It is said that the Great Song Dynasty is strong, but the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is weak, which is a well-known thing.

Even ordinary people know that the military of the Great Song Dynasty is too bad, and those box army and border army can't even do it, what else can you expect from them?

Therefore, the war with Western Xia is probably a heavy loss, this is the consensus of everyone.

Even if Zhang Zhibai came out to coax the Great Song Dynasty before, he would definitely be able to wash away the shame of Western Xia in the northwest battlefield, but it could not make the people have the slightest confidence.

If there are too many failures, the morale of the army and the people will be depressed.

So not only Zhao Zhen is anxious, but the people will also talk about whether Li Yuanhao's kid will be more fierce than his father.

Then they are all thinking that in case of a fight, the Great Song Dynasty will lose those territories, and after the heavy losses, I am afraid that they will have to increase taxes again.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the return of the messenger, and even if it is bad news, at least it will give people a good idea.

Now the messenger has returned.

He brought unbelievable good news.

Li Yuanhao, who had just become the emperor of Western Xia, actually relented?

How could they be subdued?

Li Yuanhao has just become the emperor, doesn't he need a few big battles to strengthen the prestige of Western Xia at this moment?

Is this an auditory hallucination?

An old man rubbed his ears and asked his children and grandchildren loudly.

"Weng Weng, that rebellion in Western Xia is afraid! They not only proclaimed themselves vassals to our Great Song Dynasty, but also took the initiative to cede Xiping Mansion and other places! That was originally the land of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

The question of the ownership of Xiping Prefecture has always been a difficult problem.

Since the growth of the Western Xia tribes, the Fuzhou side has not stopped fighting, and there have been hundreds of battles of all sizes, not for anything else...... It is the belonging of Xiping Prefecture!

In the past, most of Xiping Prefecture was occupied by the Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty could only use the Yellow River as the line, and the Fuzhou City outside the lonely river was the most cutting-edge defense area.

It's good now!

Xipingzhou returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the territory of Fuzhou was more than doubled!

In this way, the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty is stable, even if the Western Xia invades again, the Great Song Dynasty is not afraid, relying on Fuzhou is now Xipingzhou and other twelve fortresses and cities, the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty is worry-free!

In the past, for those territories on the northwest border, the Great Song Dynasty and the Tangut people had also negotiated many times, but every time the Tangut people would shake their heads reservedly.

The place where Lao Tzu fought down is naturally the territory of Western Xia, and if you have the ability, you will come and take it!

But now that the sword soldiers are not used, the Tangut people have actually softened?

This is a big song......

One thinks of diplomacy and warfare in recent years.

"Fuzhou! The people of Western Xia were scared of the Great Song Dynasty in Fuzhou! ”

"There's also a Dajingguan ...... over there."

"Yes! Xixia Ming knew that they couldn't hold it on the Fuzhou side, so he took the initiative to return Xiping Mansion and other places! They're scared......"

"Good!"

"Heroic! A Jingguan shocked Xixia and did not dare to cross the extinction, and even lost the territory he had originally laid! All right! A certain hate can't kill the Western Xia and go straight to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia! ”

“……”

Countless people were cheering, and those cavalrymen also held their heads high with honor, and the war horses under their crotches snorted and neighed.

Everyone knows the meaning of Xixia's softness.

The Liao envoy has been a little nervous recently, and even dared to go to Sweet Water Lane, and then some officials used this as an excuse to impeach Qin Wei for having close contacts with the Liao people.

It's unscrupulous, but you can't manage it.

Because once the Western Xia could not be stabilized, the Liao people dared to drink the Yellow River.

Without the containment of Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty was the fish on the chopping board of the Liao people, and they could only be slaughtered.

Qin Wei happened to take Qiao Feng out to go shopping, and brought Liu Shu to buy some small jewelry or something.

A woman needs to be coaxed, and the occasional small gift can make her happy.

He was standing on the left, just in time to see Zong Sheng and his party rushing over on horseback with a roar, and the excitement on his face couldn't help but overflow.

It's a glorious moment!

No matter who you are, you can't help but be excited......

In the diplomatic history of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been a strong stroke since then.

Li Yuanhao in his previous life would not agree to return any old land, he didn't come directly to beat you, even if you are friendly, and ...... In his previous life, Li Yuanhao not only fought, but also won, and the Great Song Dynasty lost the entire Xining Prefecture.

But this life is different.

In the first battle of Fuzhou, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was not superior, and it was still a field battle.

Many people did not believe that the Great Song Dynasty had won that battle.

Win!

The Great Song Dynasty dared to fight in the field with its opponents, and it was a rare victory when the troops were not superior at all.

So at that time, there were a lot of spies in Fuzhou, both the Western Xia and the Liao, and even the Great Song Dynasty was worried that Fuzhou and Qin Wei and others would falsely report their military exploits, so they also sent secret spies to investigate.

It wasn't until they saw that Jingguan and the murderous Jingguan Stone that they believed it.

This Da Song is different!

It no longer shy away from war, it dares to show its long sword in the face of a strong enemy, and bravely kill its own enemy.

Why did Li Yuanhao choose to bow his head when he knew that he was going to fight.

A dynasty is forged with iron and blood.

But Western Xia was instigated this time, they didn't dare to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, even if they had been fully prepared and ready to attack, but they still didn't have the courage to decide to send troops.

The ruthless Pingtou brother in the past is cowardly today!

They were not afraid of the Liao people, but they were subdued by the Great Song Dynasty, who had always looked down on them!

Obviously, Da Song's strength made him have to choose compromise.

And no one knew about his idea.

Only Zong Sheng, who has obtained the true inheritance of Qin Wei, can shake Li Yuanhao with a word.

This was a major diplomatic victory, and the Liao envoy was going to be disappointed, and Yelu Longxu was going to be worried.

Western Xia had just been founded, and it urgently needed a big war to strengthen people's hearts, but now ...... The Western Xia actually declared themselves vassals to the Great Song Dynasty first, does that mean that their future strategic focus will shift to the Liao State?

The so-called friendship is only a temporary compromise when the opponent cannot be destroyed.

Where does friendship come from between countries?

The world is a jungle where you can team up to deal with your opponents for a while, but in the end you can only believe in yourself and keep strengthening yourself, or you will become a prey for powerful opponents.

Whose Great Song is this?

Looking at these cheering people, Qin Wei smiled.

Zong Sheng galloped all the way to the Zhengde Gate, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Zhen and Zai Fu, and everyone looked at them with a confused expression.

"Your Majesty, the minister has returned from the Western Xia."

He dismounted and bowed.

Xu Mao leaned on the city wall and looked down, and asked loudly, "Why cheer?" ”

The city was too high to be close to the people, and it was impossible to hear their private conversations.

But Zongsheng's voice was extremely loud, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, Xixia bows down and is a minister!" And willing to take the initiative to return the territory in Xiping Prefecture! ”

Yes!

Zhao Zhen heard someone behind him exclaiming.

"This is a bloodless expansion of the territory! How rare! ”

Lu Yijian couldn't help but slam his fist on the city, and then shouted happily: "Okay! Good! All right! originally thought that Western Xia would definitely start a war with the Great Song Dynasty this time, but who would have thought that not only did not go to war, but ......"

On the contrary, the Western Xia took the initiative to return Xipingzhou and other places that once belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, although the territory is not much, and it is not too important, but this nature is too exciting!

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have not been many sieges and lands on the foreign battlefield, so every time it will make people surging in the new dynasty.

Lu Yijian just became the prime minister, and he got such a big lottery, doesn't this show that he is very qualified as the prime minister? Maybe you will be famous in history in the future!

Pang Ji also said happily: "Li Yuanhao...... Li Yuanhao really didn't have the courage to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, thanks to the previous battle in Fuzhou! As we thought, Li Yuanhao was greatly instigated by the previous battle...... So the big picture is settled!

The world is back in balance, this is what this group of monarchs and ministers are looking forward to.

Now that the Western Xia has established a state, the Great Song Dynasty has no essential losses, and even recovered the homeland of Xipingzhou, which is already a very good result for the Great Song Dynasty.

Western Xia was rebellious...... So doesn't Da Song just want to be a face?

Okay, now the face is there!

Although the Western Xia established a state, it took the initiative to declare itself a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and returned the hometown of the Great Song Dynasty, and was willing to bow down, which means that the Great Song and Western Xia will become allies in the face of the Liao.

Isn't that a shame!

Since Li Jiqian established the Western Xia secession regime, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have been living in a period of anxiety, and they have been worried over the years, for fear that the Western Xia people and the Liao people will one day join forces to plot against the Great Song Dynasty.

Yes, the Great Song Dynasty was able to attack the barren Western Xia, but even if it defeated the Western Xia, what would it be?

After the Western Xia, there was no longer any containment and buffer between the Great Song and the Liao.

The Song-Liao War will be inevitable.

Da Song could win?

Win a fart!

Even if the Great Song Dynasty has fought several rare victories in recent years, opportunism accounts for a large proportion of them, and if the whole country is really preparing for war, the Great Song Dynasty will still be beaten out by the Liao State.

That's why the monarch and the minister will be happy.

Zhao Zhen was happy in his heart, he supported the city wall with both hands, and said arrogantly: "I have won twenty years of peace for the descendants of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The entire territory of Xipingzhou returned to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the strategic depth of the Great Song Dynasty could exert its power to a greater extent in the future.

As long as the Zhejia family can hold Xipingzhou, there will be no risk in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty!

"Hooray!"

Every time the news of victory came, the people of Bianliang always liked to express their love for the emperor with cheers.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

This is a benevolent emperor, and everyone wants him to be in power, because ...... Most of such emperors are merciful, and what the people need most is the benevolence of the rulers.

……

The first one is sent and asks for a monthly pass.
