Chapter 357, the princess arrived

When Wang Qinruo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel that now was a good opportunity to send troops to fight.

Li Qingxia glanced at Wang Qinruo and said with a smile: "Listening to what the prime minister said, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor of your country has no intention of sending troops?" Wang Qinruo sighed, "It's not that there is no intention of sending troops at all, it's just that there are too many traitors around the emperor, and the emperor is bewitched and worried." ”

Li Qingxia nodded, "I heard that one of the concubines of the Yan King is named Chai Yonghui, and the descendants of the Chai family of your country are the elder brother of the Eight Sages King, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Wang Qinruo nodded, "But there is such a thing!" ”

Li Qingxia said with a smile: "This makes me wonder, since Yan Yun is the great enemy of the Song Kingdom, why did he let Princess Yan Yun's brother hold an important position in the imperial court of your country?" Wang Qinruo sighed again and again, looking worried.

Li Qingxia said: "It is understandable that Your Majesty has scruples, but the current situation is different from the past, and Yanyun will undoubtedly be defeated." In fact, for us, it doesn't matter if Song Guo joins or not, it would be better if Song Guo could join, and it would not affect anything if he didn't join. Wang Qinruo didn't care about Song Guo's appearance at all when he heard the other party's words, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, "This, Yan Yun is a traitor and thief of our Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song Dynasty has the responsibility to clean up the portal!" Li Qingxia glanced at Qin Hui with a smile, "Da Song is willing to take responsibility, that's good!" ”

Wang Qinruo said in embarrassment: "It's just that I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince Your Majesty alone," glancing at Li Qingxia, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess can go with me, maybe I can convince Your Majesty!" ”

Li Qingxia thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll go and meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Wang Qinruo hurriedly stood up, "Since that's the case, then without further ado, let's go into the palace." ”

Soon after, in the emperor's imperial study, Wang Qinruo introduced Li Qingxia to the emperor. Li Qingxia took a step forward and bowed her head slightly: "The Great Xia envoy has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" The emperor glanced at Li Qingxia, and saw that she was noble and generous, and she had a straightforward temperament that the Central Plains women did not have, so he only felt that his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "The princess doesn't have to be polite!" ”

Li Qingxia raised her head and glanced at the Great Song Emperor in front of her, only to see that this Great Song Emperor looked weak and weak, and his eyes were blank, and his face was a little pale, which was obviously a symptom of excessive wine.

Wang Qinruo hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Great Liao Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom are attacking Yanyun with troops, Yanyun is in a disadvantageous situation, it is a good time for us to go north to the Central Plains to eradicate the traitors!" ”

Zhao Heng frowned, "Aiqing has already said this matter, and I have already decided, but why do you still want to mention it?" ”

Wang Qinruo hurriedly said: "It's really because the current situation is completely different from what we expected, Yan Yun's defeat is imminent, and our Great Song Dynasty can't miss this great opportunity!" ”

Li Qingxia smiled and said: "If the emperor is unwilling to send troops, then it is nothing, and the purpose of my trip is not to ask the Great Song Dynasty to send troops." I was ordered by my father to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, I just want to inform the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, after Yanyun was defeated by my Great Xia and Great Liao, the Central Plains will be divided equally by my two families, and the Great Song Dynasty must not have any objections! ”

Zhao Heng was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that your country and the Great Liao Kingdom have already won the battle?" ”

Li Qingxia smiled proudly, "Of course!" Now Yanyun is short of grain and grass, and it is difficult to mobilize between the various armies, while the only mobile main force is suppressed at Yanmen Pass, struggling to resist the attack of the Khitans; There are not many frontal enemy troops in our army, Yinzhou is flat and not conducive to defense, my 300,000 elites in Daxia can be said to be easy to capture Yinzhou, once Yinzhou is broken, the door of Shanxi is wide open, and at that time, don't you let my Daxia elite gallop across the country? In addition, Tubo has also sent troops, and 400,000 troops have attacked Qinfeng Road! Now that the Three Kingdoms Alliance is attacking Yan Yun, is Yan Yun invincible? ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but be a little moved and a little anxious, but he was still a little worried, he was already scared by Yan Yun, and it was really difficult for him to make up his mind to fight Yan Yun.

Li Qingxia saw Zhao Heng's thoughts, and said: "When the time comes, our Three Kingdoms will divide the Central Plains, and I hope that the Great Song Dynasty will not act rashly, otherwise our Three Kingdoms soldiers will inevitably be inflicted on the Great Song Dynasty, which will not be good!" Li Qingxia's words gave people the feeling that they didn't seem to have come to urge the Great Song Dynasty to send troops at all, it was clear that the Three Kingdoms were going to divide the Central Plains, and they came to warn the Great Song Dynasty, telling the Great Song Dynasty to stay honest and not act rashly, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Zhao Heng was even more anxious, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Wang Qinruo said urgently; "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, don't miss the opportunity and never come again, we can't stay out of the matter and miss the opportunity!! Great Liao, Great Xia, Tubo, and the Three Kingdoms attacked Yanyun, how could Yanyun be spared? We should send troops as soon as possible to participate in the grand event!! "It's a beautiful thing to say, it's just a matter of grabbing a piece of the pie. Zhao Gou was very moved.

Li Qingxia frowned and said: "The Great Song Dynasty wants to send troops, I'm afraid there are some difficulties!" ”

Zhao Heng was anxious, "What the princess said is not right, Yan Yun is a rebellious minister and thief of my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty naturally has the responsibility to exterminate this scourge!" In other words, I should thank you for sending troops to help me put an end to this rebellion! ”

Li Qingxia smiled coldly, "We have to make it clear, the Great Song Dynasty is going to send troops, we don't stop it, we can't stop it!" But after destroying Yanyun, how should the land be divided? Zhao Heng and Wang Qinruo glanced at each other, and Wang Qinruo asked, "I don't know what the princess thinks?" Li Qingxia said: "South of the Huai River and Henan belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest of the places, the Great Song Dynasty will not care!" The tone was arrogant, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Zhao Heng felt that something was wrong, but he was afraid of angering the other party, so he didn't dare to raise any objections, just looked at Wang Qinruo. Wang Qinruo whispered: "Your Majesty, if there is no help from the Three Kingdoms, we will not be able to take back an inch of land, and besides, Henan will be recovered, and we can also explain to the ancestors and ancestors, Your Majesty will agree." ”

Zhao Heng felt that what Wang Qinruo said was reasonable, nodded, and then said to Li Qingxia: "Just follow the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Li Qingxia was overjoyed in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest hint on her face, but looked a little regretful. Seeing this, Zhao Heng hurriedly said: "The princess represents Great Xia, you can't go back on your word!" Li Qingxia sighed helplessly, "It's okay." Glancing at Zhao Heng, who was full of joy, he said: "But Your Majesty must officially decree to give up Huaibei and all the land except Henan!" ”

Zhao Heng nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, this is no problem!" Then he took a pen and wrote a holy decree, stamped it with a jade seal, then read it and handed it down. Wang Qinruo took the holy decree and handed it over to Li Qingxia. Li Qingxia took the holy decree, unfolded it, read it, and saw that the holy decree of the Song State openly recognized that the Central Plains of Huaibei belonged to the Three Kingdoms, and her heart was overjoyed. nodded, closed the holy decree, and said to Zhao Heng: "Since Your Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty are so sincere, we will naturally keep our promise!" Then he said, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave!" ”

Zhao Heng hurriedly said: "It's rare for the princess to come to Bianjing, I want to set up a banquet in the Spring Breeze Pavilion tonight to entertain the princess, and I hope the princess won't postpone it!" ”

Li Qingxia wanted to rush back to China as soon as possible, but she felt inconvenient to refrain from Zhao Heng's kind invitation, so she bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely arrive." Zhao Heng laughed, "Okay, good, our night scenery in Bianjing, the princess will definitely like it!" Li Qingxia smiled slightly, and said, "I'll leave first." Zhao Heng nodded, "The princess walks slowly." Li Qingxia left the imperial study.

Wang Qinruo said to Zhao Heng with a happy face: "Your Majesty, with the assistance of these three kingdoms, Yang Peng is dead this time!" We can finally solve this big problem once and for all! Zhao Heng nodded sympathetically, his face was full of excitement, and then said fiercely: "If I catch him, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives to make an example!" Wang Qinruo nodded thoughtfully: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Then he reminded: "Your Majesty, it is best to hide the matter of the imperial court's dispatch of troops from the Eighth Prince and others, so as not to leak the news and make Yan Yun prepared!" The Emperor frowned and nodded.

Li Qingxia came out of the palace, and a cronie immediately greeted her, "Princess, how is the situation?" Li Qingxia smiled coldly, "With these wastes from the Song Imperial Court, where is the opponent of this princess, they will fall into the middle of the court in three or two clicks!" The cronies asked in surprise: "Did they agree to send troops?" Li Qingxia nodded. The cronies were extremely excited: "In this way, Yan Yun will definitely lose!" Li Qingxia said: "Go back to the post house first, and come to the banquet tonight!" "Yes!"

That night, at the beginning of the lanterns, Li Qingxia, dressed as a Han lady, appeared in the royal Spring Breeze Pavilion, and was immediately shocked, and the concubines around the emperor seemed to have lost their color; In fact, it is not that Li Qingxia is really so much more beautiful than the emperor's concubines, but Li Qingxia's confident and high-spirited temperament is beyond the reach of those concubines, which is very eye-catching, and the concubines are overshadowed in front of her.

Zhao Heng said happily: "The princess is here, please sit down!" ”

Li Qingxia bowed slightly, then walked to the position of the left head and sat down. glanced at the scene and saw that except for the concubines sitting next to the emperor, only Wang Qinruo was sitting. Zhao Heng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This glass of wine wishes the princess eternal youth and beauty!" Li Qingxia smiled indifferently and picked up her wine glass, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he raised his head and did it, very bold. Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel itchy, he just felt that such a woman was really attractive! With a smile, he also dried the cup.

As soon as he saw the emperor's expression, he understood what the emperor meant, and said to Li Qingxia with a smile: "If Her Royal Highness the princess can become the concubine of our Great Song Dynasty, Great Xia and Great Song will become the state of in-laws, which will be of great benefit to both parties!" ”

Zhao Heng listened to Wang Qinruo's words, and his heart was full of joy, and he said secretly: "Wang Qinruo is worthy of being my confidant, and he can always understand my thoughts!" He looked at Li Qingxia and wanted to see what she meant. Li Qingxia's expression was cold, and she said secretly: "With a waste like you, you actually want to be my husband!" My husband must be a hero from the world, and people like you are not worthy of lifting shoes for my husband! Thinking so in his heart, he said: "Qingxia doesn't have this blessing, Qingxia already has a marriage contract with someone!" ”

Zhao Hengda was disappointed, but he didn't give up, and said secretly: "As long as Princess Qingxia falls in love with me, the rest of the matter will not be difficult to deal with!" As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to show off in front of Li Qingxia, so he said: "I recently wrote a article on the Seven Laws, and I also asked the princess to evaluate it!" Li Qingxia is very proficient in Chinese poetry, and when she heard this, she showed curiosity.

Zhao Heng was very excited when he saw Li Qingxia's expression, and he was determined to show his hand in front of the beauty, so that the beauty could admire his talent. After sorting out his thoughts, he raised his voice and said: "Wuxia is long in late spring and March, and the clouds are floating in the sun. The thunder suddenly sends thousands of peaks and rain, and the flowers are like a hundred and fragrant. The yellow warbler turns back over the water, and the swallow is wet. In the picture of the Flying Pavilion Roller Blind, the void is only less than Xiaoxiang. Wang Qinruo and the concubines immediately exclaimed, it was not all flattery, most of them did admire Zhao Heng's talent. Zhao Heng was triumphant, looked at Li Qingxia, and saw that Li Qingxia showed a thoughtful look, and didn't seem to care too much, so he couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Does the princess think that there is something wrong with my seven laws?" ”

Li Qingxia raised her head and shook her head with a smile, "Your Majesty, this Seven Laws is indeed a masterpiece...... Zhao Heng smiled when he heard this. Wang Qinruo took the opportunity to pat himself on the back and said: "Your Majesty is amazingly talented, and every poem is naturally a famous sentence that can be recited through the ages!" ”

Zhao Heng laughed, waved his hand and said, "The prime minister has won the award, he has won the award!" ”

Li Qingxia looked at Zhao Heng and said secretly: "Such poems show that you have no ambitions, and the talent of the emperor should be different!" As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but think of another song that had been spread to Western Xia, and couldn't help muttering: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north." The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years. Hatred is crazy, the long knife is directed, how many siblings are loyal to the soul to buy bones in other places. What a pity to die to protect the family and country, endure sighing and being speechless, blood and tears in my eyes. I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and let the Quartet congratulate the dignified Huaxia. ”

As soon as Zhao Heng and the others heard Li Qingxia recite this poem "Looking at the North of the Rivers and Mountains", they all stopped talking, and gradually all kinds of thoughts lingered, some people were ashamed, some people were resentful, and some people worshipped, and the scene was extremely quiet for a while, and it was almost audible that a needle dropped.

Li Qingxia finished reading the poem "Looking at the North of the Rivers and Mountains", and said to Zhao Heng: "This song "Looking at the North of the Rivers and Mountains" has already spread in our Great Xia, but I don't know who the author is, I don't know if Your Majesty knows?" ”

Zhao Heng was depressed, and he couldn't say why. If Wang Qin had the heart to please the emperor, he said with a straight face: "This song "Looking North at the Mountains" is the masterpiece of His Majesty the Emperor!" The emperor coughed and nodded: "Yes, it was indeed written by a widow, but I didn't expect the princess to hear about it!" ”

Li Qingxia laughed in her heart: "These Song people like to be smart, but they are actually stupider than pigs, since the poems have been circulated, how can the author not circulate?' Even if the author has not circulated it, this kind of lie is very easy to debunk, and now that he is impersonating, how can he step down in the future? Hmph, the Song State is such a monarch and minister, in the future, after I occupy the Central Plains in Great Xia, I will be able to go south and seize the country of the Song Kingdom! ’

These thoughts were time-consuming, but in fact, they only flashed in Li Qingxia's mind, and then smiled: "I didn't expect it to be Your Majesty's masterpiece, admire, admire!" Zhao Heng couldn't help but flutter when he saw the beauty appreciating it, and then thought that this song "Looking at the North of the Country" was not his work after all, and he couldn't help but worry.

In order to curry favor with Li Qingxia, Zhao Heng said: "Princess, I have already ordered the army to assemble, and I believe that within three days, the army will be able to launch an attack on Jiangbei!" Li Qingxia was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was silent, and she only nodded lightly.

Wang Qinruo said: "To destroy Yang Peng, I will also invite the princess to Bianliang to celebrate the banquet!" Li Qingxia nodded, "When Yanyun is destroyed, I will definitely go to Bianliang for a banquet!" Then he raised his glass and said to the emperor: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on the joy of recovering the old capital!" Zhao Heng laughed and picked up his wine glass, "When the time comes, the widow will go to the suburbs to greet the princess!" As soon as these words came out, all the concubines were jealous and jealous, and they all thought: Where is that Fanbang woman better than me, Your Majesty actually looks at her differently!?

Li Qingxia smiled slightly and dried the wine. Zhao Heng hurriedly drank a glass of wine, looked at Li Qingxia with his eyes, revealing infinite desire, and thought in his heart that when the smoke and clouds were completely extinguished, he would send someone to officially propose to Xixia.

A eunuch rushed up and bowed: "Your Majesty, Lord Sun of the Privy Council has an urgent military situation to see Your Majesty!" Zhao Heng frowned, and said unhappily: "Why is Sun Jin so uninteresting, is there anything that won't be played again tomorrow?" Wang Qinruo smiled and said: "I think there is good news from the north, so Your Majesty will announce him to come up." "This afternoon, Wang Qinruo went to the Privy Council and told Sun Jin, asking him to report any news about the war between Yanyun and the Liao State and Western Xia immediately, so Sun Jin hurried here after receiving the urgent report of the military situation, and he didn't have time to take a look.

Zhao Heng also wanted to know the battle situation in the north, so he said to the eunuch: "Xuan! The eunuch answered, and ran down, and after a while, a middle-aged minister in a wide robe ran up. Sun Jin held an urgent report that had not yet been opened, and bowed down to report: "An urgent report from Shanxi! ”

Wang Qinruo said with a smile: "Presumably, Yan Yunjun is fleeing for his life in a hurry!" The emperor laughed, and all the concubines also laughed and echoed Wang Qinruo's words, Li Qingxia also smiled, but she was a little nervous in her heart.

The emperor said to Sun Jin: "Read it to all of us!" ”

Sun Jin responded, quickly opened the seal, opened it, and read: "A few days ago, Yan Wang Yang Peng personally commanded Yan Yun's main force out of Yanmen Pass to break the main force of Ye Hu City, chasing the dead for hundreds of miles to the north, Ye Hu Cheng led the remnants to retreat to Hongzhou!" ...... "Everyone was smiling, but when they heard the news, their smiles disappeared immediately, and they were replaced with a very frightened look, Sun Jin himself was also shocked, no one expected that it would be such news, the scene suddenly became very quiet, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Li Qingxia asked nervously, "What's the situation in northern Shaanxi?" The emperor also asked, "Can the Western Xia army win?" ”

Sun Jin continued, "In addition, in the direction of northern Shaanxi." Li Cunxiao, the general of the right wing of the Western Xia, led the Snow Mountain Army under his command to attack and break through the Great Wall Ridge," Li Qingxia heard this, her face showed joy, and then she heard Sun Jinnian say: "However, almost at the same time, Yang Yanzhao led the main force of Yanyun in northern Shaanxi to set up an ambush at Shendui Station dozens of miles northwest of Yinzhou, and ambushed Li Zongdao's 300,000 army, and the Western Xia army lost most of it and retreated to Xiazhou, and then the Yanyun army recaptured the Great Wall Ridge, Li Cunxiao took the initiative to abandon the Great Wall Ridge and withdrew to Hongzhou!" Li Qingxia was dizzy, she only felt incredulous, she really couldn't believe that she and the Liao State had such a big advantage, but the situation was changed by Yan Yun in an instant!? The operation of besieging Yanyun that he had carefully planned actually collapsed like this!? At this time, Zhao Heng had another thought in his heart: 'Obediently, fortunately, I haven't sent troops yet, otherwise it will be a big trouble!' This Yan Yunjun is really unprovoked! ’

looked at Li Qingxia and saw her frowning and sitting there in a daze, so she comforted: "The princess doesn't have to care too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers!" If you lose this time, you will win next time! ”

Li Qingxia was no longer in the mood to stay here, so she stood up and said to the emperor: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave!" Without waiting for the emperor to reply, he left.

The emperor was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't mean to blame Li Qingxia. Turning his head to Wang Qinruo, he said: "Immediately send an order to all armies, stop the assembly, and retreat to the original place!" Wang Qinruo nodded blankly, he hadn't reacted from this drastic situation, and he felt extremely frightened of Yan Yun in his heart.

Li Qingxia hurriedly returned to the inn, beckoned all her cronies, and frowned: "Just now, the Song State received an urgent report of the military situation, and the situation in the north does not seem to be good. He glanced up at a cronie: "You immediately rush back to the country to understand the situation, and then report back!" The cronie answered and ran down. Li Qingxia said to the other cronies: "Clean up, let's rush back to the past early tomorrow morning!" Everyone agreed together, and everyone's hearts were full of curiosity and worry, but when they saw the princess's stern expression, they didn't dare to ask.

At the same time, the emperor returned to Concubine Liu's dormitory, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yan Yun is really invincible!" Hey, I almost did something stupid again this time! Liu Guifei did not participate in the banquet just now, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty has always been wise, why do you say that?" ”

The emperor sat down and sighed again, "Recently, the Liao State and the Western Xia Company attacked Yanyun, Concubine Ai must know, right?" Liu Guifei nodded, frowned, and said, "I heard that Yan Yun is in a disadvantageous situation!" ”

The emperor shook his head, "At first, yes, but just received an urgent report of the military situation, Yang Peng actually defeated more than 600,000 troops of Yeyu Hucheng at Yanmen Pass with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and annihilated most of it, Yehu Hucheng has led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Hongzhou!" ......" Liu Guifei was pleasantly surprised when she heard the news, and a hanging heart finally fell. I only heard the emperor continue: "In addition, Yang Yanzhao led more than 100,000 Yanyun troops to defeat the Western Xia army in the northwest of Yinzhou, and Li Zongdao has already returned to Xiazhou!" The Khitans and the Tanguts were all defeated, but I am afraid that the Tubo people will not be able to please them! Fortunately, we haven't used troops against Hebei yet, otherwise it would be bad! ”

Liu Guifei frowned and said: "Those who persuade Your Majesty to use troops against Yan Yun are traitorous ministers, completely ignoring the safety of Your Majesty and the safety of Sheji!" The emperor also felt this way, nodded, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these boring things!" ”

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
