Chapter 40: Unwillingness

The sun is rising, the light is shining, although it is summer, but the temperature difference between morning and evening in Zhongxing Mansion is large, the climate is comfortable in the morning, the breeze is gentle, and it makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Smoke and dust rolling, countless steps and horses came in a round, and soon the front army crossed the Yellow River, followed by countless ironclad warriors around, Zhao Hong wore a crown of heaven on his head, wearing a round-necked red suit, not angry and self-assured.

The Song Dynasty tabooed bright yellow and honored vermilion, so the emperor generally wore red, unlike many dynasties.

The monarchs and ministers of Western Xia were all surprised, and they all said that the Song people were weak, why were these Song soldiers so fierce. Look at their armor, the army is solemn and orderly, swords and axes, it is definitely a rare strong army in the world.

It's not that the emperors of the Song people are as timid as mice, they all like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become immortals. That Song Huizong called himself "Emperor Daojun", and his thin gold body was the best in the world, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was so frightened that he had no fertility, and Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo died like a puppet and a gold-eating pill......

Why did this Song Emperor Zhao Hong come on horseback, and he was so tall and mighty, calm and relaxed?

This guy is really an outlier among the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, a strange flower in the world!

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhao Hong appear, Li Li, who was at the head of the Western Xia ministers, hesitated for a moment, but still fell to his knees.

Zhao Hong named him the king of Xia, and allowed him not to kneel, but the king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

Zhao Hong may be really sincere, but the civil and military ministers of the Great Song Dynasty behind him, especially those arrogant generals, if they see that they are so big, what will they think?

At the very least, he wants to make these people feel that he is willing to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty Emperor.

"Your Majesty!"

The old ministers of Western Xia, who had different faces and different thoughts, followed Emperor Xia and knelt down one after another.

"King Xia, speaking of which, you are my uncle of the Great Song Dynasty, my eldest brother, and a family, so you don't need to make this great gift. I say again, if you don't take it as an example, you must not do it in the future! ”

Zhao Hong smiled with a smile on his face, took a few steps forward, personally helped Li Li up, and then said aloud to the old ministers of Western Xia:

"Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Li and the old ministers of Western Xia who stood up bowed and saluted together.

Zhao Hong was kind and hearty, which made his heart calm down quickly, and those unhappiness and embarrassment disappeared.

"King Xia, everyone, look, who did I bring to you?"

Zhao Hong laughed, gave up his position, and Li Weiming, the virtuous concubine of the phoenix crown, walked up and gave a light salute.

"The concubine has seen King Xia. Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see. ”

Returning to his hometown and seeing his old friend again, Li Weiming gave a salute according to the throbbing in his heart.

Emperor Xia gave Zhao Hong the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and it broke her heart when she looked at it. From now on, will there be no more Great Xia in the world?

"Nominally...... I've seen Concubine Xian! ”

Li Li was also excited, and hurriedly saluted.

His sister is already the harem concubine of the Great Song Dynasty, and she is no longer the princess of Western Xia.

"The ministers have seen the virtuous concubine!"

The old ministers of Western Xia bowed and saluted one after another.

"King Xia, I originally planned to bring the second prince here, but he was too young, so he couldn't make the trip. When he's older, I'll see your uncle again. Or if you have time, you can also go to Lin'an City to see him. ”

Zhao Hong always had a smile on his face, facing the old ministers of Western Xia, and his voice was raised an octave.

"Let me tell you another good news, Princess Anguo is happy again. Everyone said, is it worth celebrating? ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Princess Anguo! ”

The monarchs and ministers of Western Xia saluted together, and everyone was a little relieved.

As the son-in-law of the Western Xia, the Great Song Emperor and the princess of Anguo have a complete heir, and they should be more kind to the people of Great Xia.

Of course, this also includes their courtiers.

Li Weiming's face was slightly red. This Zhao Hong, but he dares to say anything.

Although she complained in her heart that Zhao Hong did not save the Great Xia Kingdom, she felt that it was worth the trip to come with Zhao Hong and see that the old people in the old country were unharmed.

As for the sadness that Guozuo can't last, it must be inevitable, and it is difficult for others to understand.

Seeing Li Deren, the former deposed prince of Western Xia, beside Li Li, Zhao Hong nodded lightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

This uncle of Emperor Xia is now the Duke of Xia of the Great Song Dynasty. Looking at his respectful appearance, he seemed to accept the reality of the fall of Western Xia.

This is a tough guy in Western Xia!

"King Xia, everyone, let's go into the city together!"

Zhao Hong grabbed Li Li's arm and came to the horse, and the two got on the horse and walked together. The ministers and generals followed closely, and thousands of troops and horses marched all the way into Zhongxing Mansion.

Entering the city of Zhongxingfu, all the way to the palace, along the way the people knelt on the side of the street, among them there were many children, they shouted long live, the mountains shouted tsunami, the enthusiasm was abnormal.

Zhao Hong smiled slightly. No matter when and where, in all dynasties, the arrangements on the scene are always strikingly similar.

Since the loss of Zhongxing Mansion in the early Song Dynasty, more than 200 years, it was finally regained and returned to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

Looking at Li Li again, he was already one step behind him, and Li De was on the left and right, and Li Weiming's car was neck and neck, and the trio of the Great Xia royal family didn't know what they were whispering.

It seems that the late emperor of Western Xia in history has a high IQ, knows how to distinguish between respect and inferiority, and puts himself in the right position.

Surrounded by all the troops, Zhao Hong beat the horse and urged the horse forward, and his heart was secretly empty.

If this is a sneak attack by that "anti-Song righteous man", he may die young.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all the way, and when I arrived in front of the Xixia Palace, there were many Xixia scholars kneeling at the gate of the palace. Seeing Zhao Hong's car coming, everyone kowtowed together, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Great Song Tianzi, long live! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Xia Min's voice was loud, Zhao Hong reined in the horses, and the forbidden army rode to protect the left and right.

"Folks, get up! It's too hot, let's all go back! Live your life! ”

Zhao Hong said loudly, a little fluttering.

can make the people of Western Xia love like this, and his reputation is far and wide, and he can be a generation of saints.

"The Great Song Emperor, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia Qin and Jin are good, please be kind to the Great Song Dynasty and help the Great Xia escape the catastrophe!"

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is in Great Xia, the heavens and the earth are thick, Xia Min is grateful to Dade, and he will never forget!"

"Great Song Tianzi, please save the Great Xia Kingdom, please!"

Several Xixia scholars in the front row begged bitterly, and the Xia people kowtowed to the ground, "Bangbang" sounded, and some people quickly oozed blood from their foreheads.

The slap in the face came too quickly, and the happiness in Zhao Hong's heart disappeared immediately.

Xu Sheng and Cao You were furious when they heard this, and they were about to step forward to disperse the crowd, but they were stopped by Zhao Hong's cold eyes.

Obviously, this is to ask him to express his stance to preserve the Western Xia Guozuo, not to be under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

Xia Min screamed wildly, kowtowed, Zhao Hong remained silent, Li Weiming got out of the sedan chair, stood on the carriage, and cleared his throat.

"Fellow citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom, I am the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom and the harem concubine of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone listen to my advice, the Great Song Dynasty Emperor is the Holy Monarch of the Ages, everyone go back for the time being, the Great Song Dynasty Emperor will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! ”

"Concubine Xian Niangniang Chitose!"

"Princess Chitose! Chitose! Chichitose! ”

The Xia people were shouting and tsunami again, and they got up from the ground one after another, making way for them to enter the palace.

The corners of Zhao Hong's eyebrows and mouth rose slightly, and when he turned around, Li Weiming had already entered the sedan chair. On the other hand, Li Li and Li Deren next to the carriage were both pale and uneasy.

Zhao Hong turned his head, remained silent, and hit the horse forward.

Li Weiming, what a virtuous concubine of the Great Song Dynasty!

When he came to the gate of the palace and saw the big words "Xixia Road Pacification Division" on the door plaque, Zhao Hong shook his head gently.

The monarchs and ministers of Western Xia were afraid, and in order to make themselves feel at ease, they were so diligent and careful.

But is this a sign of their surrender, real or false?

Entering the main hall is the real worship. Zhao Hong and Li Weiming sat on the high position, and all the generals, Song and Western Xia courtiers, including the Xia lord Li Wei, knelt down together, shouted long live, and saluted Zhao Hong and Li Weiming.

"King Xia, Duke Xia, all the Qing families, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers saluted together and stood up.

Zhao Hong looked at Li Li, who was getting up, shook his head, and said:

"King Xia, if you kneel again, I don't know how to deal with myself. In the future, don't kneel anymore, this is my will. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Li was psychologically satisfied, and his face was still respectful.

If you don't kneel, who knows if you will settle accounts after the fall?

"Zhuqing, I see that some of you seem to be wearing wigs, and the Dang Xiang clan is also wearing the round-necked official uniform of the Song people. I want to say a few words from my heart. ”

Zhao Hong observed it and made a brief opening remark.

Everyone had different thoughts, and their eyes looked at Zhao Hong together.

"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the official uniform of the imperial court is a regulation, and no one is allowed to trespass, and I believe that the secretaries will not have objections. After going back, in your spare time, what you want to wear is your freedom, and others have no right to interfere. Including the language and hairstyle of the party members, those who are willing to keep it, the court and the government will not interfere. ”

Zhao Hong's words made the officials in the hall, especially the party clan, breathe a sigh of relief.

As a matter of fact, many officials of the party clan are thinking about whether to shave their hair and stop talking about the party.

"The language, writing, clothing, cultural customs, and so on of the Dangxiang clan should be preserved as much as possible. The party's civilization must be passed down from generation to generation. No matter what kind of civilization it is, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of its predecessors and cannot be arbitrarily destroyed. This is also the reason why I sent troops to save Xia three years ago. ”

Zhao Hong's words made the Xixia monarchs and ministers in the palace stunned for a while, and after a while, someone bowed and said, solemnly abnormal.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, worried about the world, and the ministers admire it!"

It turned out to be Li Yuanji, the former privy envoy of Western Xia, who was the first to speak.

Seeing that his face was red and his face was serious, it didn't seem to be hypocritical.

"Your Majesty has the grace of reinvention for Great Xia, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Li Zhongge, the secretary of the former Ministry of Western Xia, walked out again and bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is convinced!"

The famous party nobles and important ministers of the court and the famous Linggong followed and bowed.

Respecting local customs, not coercing and intimidating, and treating the Xia people and subjects well, he is a little convinced at the moment.

"Your Majesty's Heavenly Grace!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The old ministers of Western Xia stood up one by one and saluted Zhao Hong.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty present at the table, such as Xuanxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zou Yinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Hehe, the envoy of the Sichuan system, and Guo Zhengsun, the pacification envoy of Lizhou West Road, all secretly admired them.

Just by preserving the Western Xia culture, the emperor will have the heart of the old ministers of the Western Xia.

Some Song Xia courtiers in the hall muttered to themselves in their hearts. I don't know if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty on the high seat will be kind and bring Xixia back to life?
