Zhao Hong smiled, but did not speak. The Jiangnan East Road system made Wang Gang come out at the right time and march to Zhao Hong, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Your Majesty, the Xia land is close to the Tatar border, and once it accepts the Xia people and connects with the Tatar border fortress, it will definitely confront the Tatar army head-on. Xingling is broken, and accepting it is tantamount to riding a tiger. Your Majesty is cautious. ”

Zai Fu Xue Ji is very old, and the rumors that Wang Gang has entered the center of the imperial court have been boiling recently, which has also made the government and the opposition speculate who will be the next Zai Fu.

"Your Majesty, Xia Ren is alone, not sincerely. If the Xia monarchs and ministers deviate from my Great Song Dynasty, so that they disturb the world and cause turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't my Great Song Dynasty ask for their own hardships? Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

Shangshu Xuanxuan of the Ministry of War also stepped forward, righteous and righteous, and Yiran was to dissuade the acceptance of Western Xia.

He is nearly seventy years old, and like Xue Ji, he is on the verge of Zhishi. At this time, there is less utilitarianism and more worry about the country and the people.

"Two ...... The two ministers, I surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, I have the imperial book written by the Xia Emperor, and I have the map and the map of the land of Xingling, how can it be hypocritical? The Great Song Dynasty saved Great Xia once, should it be ravaged by the iron cavalry of the Tatar army again? Hundreds of thousands of people in Great Xia, do they want to let the Tatars slaughter them all? Your Majesty is the emperor of the world, can't you sit back and watch the survival of the people of Great Xia? ”

Luo Shichang was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to argue.

The Xia people were indignant that the Song people had seized the land west of the river, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty should be ecstatic to receive the Western Xia, but they didn't know that when the Song people were in ruins, they didn't want to accept the land of Xingling that had been devastated by the war.

Emperor Song is ambitious, is this taking care of the exhausted Great Xia, or is there another .......

"Honorable envoy, if Emperor Xia wanted to belong to my Great Song Dynasty, he should have sent an envoy a long time ago, not until today. At that time, I was the emperor of the Song Dynasty and went to the bank of the Yellow River. Emperor Xia is high up, a stone's throw away, and he didn't come to see my emperor, is this the way to treat his life-saving benefactor? ”

Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, continued to arch the fire with a black face.

Three years ago, Zhao Hong's imperial expedition had reached the Yellow River, and the Xia Emperor Li Wei did not come to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Zhao Hong didn't care, everyone in the government and the opposition, the officers and men in the army, was angry and kept it in mind.

"A few honorable envoys, don't forget, the land of Great Xia, including the land of Xingling, is the homeland of my Great Song Dynasty. When our Great Song Dynasty entered Hexi, it was taken from the Tatar army to seize Hexi, which can only be regarded as restoring the old land. Not to mention, our army occupied Hexi, and there were countless living Xia people, and Yu Xia people had the grace to rebuild. Since the Han Dynasty, the four counties of Hexi have been under the rule of our Central Plains Dynasty. It is natural for my Great Song Dynasty to restore Hexi, and it is not difficult for a strong man. ”

Zou Yinglong, another political officer, said coldly, not giving Li Zhongge and others any face.

The land of Xingling is full of devastation and ruins, and the Song army goes north, except for a little expansion of the territory, what can it get?

The ministers spoke one after another, and they all had a negative attitude towards the reception of Western Xia. Zhao Hong was silent, and Luo Shichang and the others were all stunned.

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of Great Xia have come to vote for themselves, and I hope that Emperor Song will not refuse the people of Great Xia to be outside the door and give the people of Great Xia a way to live!"

Luo Shichang said sadly, knelt down to Zhao Hong, and kowtowed to "Bangbang".

The Great Song Tianzi is terrifyingly calm and terrifying.

If it fails like this, maybe in a few months, Western Xia will be a river of blood, a hell on earth.

Zhao Hong was silent, and Song Chen was opposed, it seems that the Song people are really unwilling to accept the burden of Western Xia.

"The state of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is wise and martial, helping the needy, and I hope that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will accept Xia Min and uphold the way of heaven!"

Li Zhongge and Zhang Gongfu knelt down together, and the two of them, like Luo Shichang, were full of pathos in their hearts.

If the Great Song Dynasty turned away the Xia people, the Great Xia could only resign itself to fate and let the Mongol army slaughter it.

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty remained silent, which means that maybe Daxia can still be saved, and there is still a chance.

"Your Majesty, don't be kind to a woman!"

"Your Majesty, the Tatars are eyeing the Tatars, and the Tatar messengers are coming. My Great Song Dynasty also wants to restore the Central Plains and make an appointment with the Tatars to attack the Jin Kingdom. Don't lose a big deal because of a small thing! ”

Several important ministers spoke one after another, all of them with solemn faces and unusual seriousness.

"Stand down, I have my own opinions."

Life is not easy, a few white-bearded old men kneel and kowtow, Zhao Hong can't bear it in his heart, and he can't pretend anymore.

No matter what happened to the Western Xia monarchs and ministers, he was obligated to take hundreds of thousands of Western Xia people and must save them.

The ministers retreated to the side, and Zhao Hong looked at Luo Shichang and the three of them, kind and cordial, and his voice was soft.

"Arise, envoys. I want to know, is Lord Xia really sincere and willing? ”

Sometimes, the situation dictates that no matter how unconvinced you are, you just lose, and you can only choose to accept it.

It is estimated that the current Western Xia Emperor Li Li is in the same mood.

However, if the Western Xia accepted the invitation to surrender, a second large-scale battle of the Mongol "Xia" might have to occur at any time.

"Your Majesty, the monarchs and ministers of Great Xia are all willing. Please give your Majesty's permission! ”

Luo Shichang stood up and said in a trembling voice, trembling in his heart.

Zhao Hong wouldn't have taken Hexi, watched from the wall, and didn't save Daxia when he saw death, right?

Today's Western Xia only has a place of rejuvenation, which is dilapidated, and it is not even chicken ribs. If the Song people didn't save them, the Western Xia could only sit and wait for death.

"Emperor Xia is sincere, please allow the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Please give your majesty permission to give Xia Min a hope!"

Zhang Gongfu and Li Zhongge bowed together, both of them were weak-hearted.

The two of them and Luo Shichang have about the same thoughts, lest they be rejected by Zhao Hong.

The lives of the two or three hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in Western Xia are at stake, and they can't help but be nervous.

"Your Majesty, the stakes are high, so don't ...... it"

Wang Gang hurriedly persuaded, but was stopped by Zhao Hong gently shaking his head.

"A few honorable envoys, don't be impatient, let me think about it."

Zhao Hong stood up, looked at the courtiers around him, and walked behind the screen of the imperial study.

Receiving the Western Xia is not a simple sentence, how to place the Western Xia monarchs, how to govern the Western Xia, how to garrison the troops, etc., must be carefully considered.

Several important ministers of the court hurriedly followed.

Luo Shichang and the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they were speechless for a while.

Originally, he wanted Emperor Song to protect the Great Xia Kingdom, but now it seems too naïve. The dilapidated land of Xingling is tantamount to a burden, and the Song people don't want to take it over at all, let alone let the Great Xia Kingdom survive.

Now it seems that Emperor Xia was prescient and knew how to give up. Princess Li Weiming of Anguo is too young and too optimistic.

"Luo Xianggong, this matter will not affect the gap between the princess and Emperor Song, right?"

Touched in his heart, Zhang Gongfu subconsciously whispered.

Li Weiming wants to protect the Great Xia Kingdom, and he is already a politician in the harem. What is the relationship between her and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is the foundation of their life in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Not really. Emperor Song's martial arts should not be so small-bellied. But the princess ......."

Luo Shichang stroked his white beard and frowned.

Li Weiming is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the Western Xia is dead, so it's best not to let her think about it.

"Hey!"

Li Zhongge frowned and sighed.

As a member of the Western Xia royal family, his understanding of Li Weiming's brothers and sisters is no worse than that of Luo Shichang. Even if the Great Song Dynasty can receive Western Xia, I am afraid that there will be a lot of troubles in the future.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the terrain of Western Xia is the same as chicken ribs, and once the Xia people are accepted, they will definitely have a bad relationship with the Tatars. The Great Song Dynasty is implementing new policies in various places to get rid of the old evils. At this time, fighting with the Tatars was of no benefit to the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

In the inner hall of the back of the study, Zhao Hong remained silent, and Zou Yinglong, the governor of the political affairs, couldn't help but persuade each other.

The Great Song Dynasty is thriving, what do you want to do in the broken place of Xingling?

"Your Majesty, what Zou Xianggong said is very true. Xia people don't really come to vote, once they accept it, they may cause trouble. It is better to watch from the wall, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, clear the wilderness with the strong wall, and deal with the Tatar army. ”

Xue Ji was gray-haired, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be in line with Zou Yinglong's opinion.

At this time, taking over a rotten burden and facing the Mongolian iron cavalry head-on is really worth the loss, and it is too inconsiderate.

"Your Majesty ponders!"

"Your Majesty ponders!"

Wang Gang and Xuanxuan and other courtiers bowed together and said, everyone was iron-hearted, and all of them opposed the acceptance of Western Xia.

What's available in the ruined place of Xingling? It would be unwise and too risky to openly break with Mongolia.

Zhao Hong walked to the window, and a team of martial arts students happened to pass by from a distance, sweating profusely, dark and strong, but they were vigorous, vigorous, and full of vitality.

Does this kind of vigor also represent the thriving national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty?

"Although the land of Xingling is dilapidated, can I give up hundreds of thousands of Western Xia people? If the Xia people in Hexi want to be willing to submit to our dynasty, I have to save the Xia people in the land of Xingling. As for the Great Xia royal family, the Great Xia monarchs and ministers, they are all bullshit! The country has been made like this by them, millions of people have been played to death by them, and I don't care about them at all! What's more, Xingling and Hexi are one, each other is a horn, and they cannot be abandoned. ”

After complaining, Zhao Hong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to mumble to himself.

"Since I ascended the throne, the Jinling Lecture Hall has been held for five sessions and graduated 6,000 students. If you add the students of the Sichuan Jiangwutang branch, there are nearly 10,000 of them. There are nearly 10,000 officers who have graduated from the two martial arts halls, and there are more than 200,000 officers and men in the northwest border alone. I have hundreds of thousands of warriors in the Great Song Dynasty, are you still afraid of accepting a small place of rejuvenation? ”

Several ministers were silent. Looking at the emperor's meaning, he wanted to be arbitrary, ready to receive Western Xia, and declared war on Tatars.

"I still say the same thing, if the Tatars don't use troops against our Great Song Dynasty, I am willing to keep the light and cultivate the national strength, and then slowly plot to go north to the Central Plains. However, now is the world of great contention, sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if my Great Song wants to be alone, can the Tatars let me go of the Great Song? ”

Zhao Hong looked at the teaching field and said with emotion:

"Only when you dare to say no words to a strong enemy, can you win the respect of your opponent. Blindly tolerating and withdrawing will only make the other party look down on it, but it will become even worse. If I tell you that Ogedai is going south to attack Jin and use troops against my Great Song Dynasty, do you believe it? ”

At this time, the Great Mongolian Empire under the leadership of the Mongolian nobles was so similar to the rice country in later generations that there was no morality at all, except that one was that there were more soldiers on the surface, and the latter was more despicable and shameless.

In front of these people, there is no reason to talk about it, just look at the strength and whose fist is harder. If you want to be strong, you have your own self-improvement, and dare to show your sword.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget, if you don't accept the land of Xingling, the war between my Great Song and Tatar will be unavoidable. Instead of being cautious, it's better to give it a go. The land of rejuvenation is also my hometown of China, and Li Jiqian got it by chance. What our predecessors lost, our descendants must take back, not only the entire Western Xia, including the Western Regions, must be under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Hong walked over and pointed to the sand table of the Chinese map on the table, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and the west of the river are intertwined with mountains and rivers, and the two rivers and the Western Regions are all flat land, which is very abrupt.

"You see, after accepting the land of Xingling, the entire Western Xia will be integrated, and Hexi will also avoid being troubled by the enemy on the flanks. I decided to accept the Western Xia to vote and put it under the rule of our Great Song Dynasty for the Western Xia Road. What do you think? ”

Many things, it just takes a little bit of courage. For him, he has always been bold and enterprising, not to mention what the Mongolian Iron Cavalry is and what it can do, he knows better than anyone else.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the rejuvenation of the spirit in Western Xia, Your Majesty can make your own decisions."

Zhao Hong's words came out, the ministers were silent, and Xuan Xuan spoke first, no longer insisting on refusing to accept Xixia's proposal.

Between countries, there is no fairness between the law of the jungle. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a full-scale war with the Tatars, so why not be afraid to accept a land of rejuvenation.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are looking forward to Your Majesty's horse."

Zou Yinglong then spoke, as if he had compromised.

Accepting Western Xia, there is an additional barrier on the northwest border, and the benefits are not without benefits.

"Your Majesty, although the Xia people are willing to be attached, but for the Tatars, Your Majesty still needs to be cautious. Once he broke with the Tatars, Li Quan of Chuzhou would definitely go south to invade our Great Song Dynasty. At that time, I'm afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will have to fight on several fronts. ”

Although Xue Ji did not directly say that he would accept Western Xia, he no longer opposed Zhao Hong's decision.

The emperor is arbitrary, no matter how much he opposes it, what role can he play?

Since there are pros and cons, why bother with mediocrity.

Wang Gang lowered his head, his face was pale, and he still didn't say a word.

"Wang Gong, it's going to rain on your face!"

Zhao Hong looked at Wang Gang and laughed.

After serving as the envoy of the Jiangnan East Road for five years, Wang Gang made great contributions to the training of troops in a good way, and the tax payment was greatly increased.

Wang Gang smiled embarrassedly, and his mood relaxed a lot.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before and Tatar turn their faces. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, so let him go.

"Li Quan, I'm afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will restore Chuzhou."

Thinking of the Shandong Loyal and Righteous Army, Zhao Hong felt a little regretful in his heart.

He ascended the throne for five years, tinkered with the Shandong Loyal Army, and eventually parted ways with the Great Song court, so much so that he may have to use troops against it.

Yang Miaozhen, the long-legged beauty, is just a traditional woman after all, her husband sings and follows her wife, but after all, she still didn't listen to his advice, and she wanted to follow Li Quan, and she went all the way to the dark.
