Chapter 41 State affairs are important

The ministers of Western Xia secretly speculated, and Zhao Hong continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, life is short and fleeting. The people of Great Xia have experienced the devastation of war, and there is not much left, and the people are struggling to make a living. You and I will take advantage of our lifetime to do something well, so that the life of these remnants of the people in Great Xia will get better soon! ”

Zhao Hong's words echoed in the main hall, and all the generals and ministers bowed together, and everyone was solemn.

"Follow Your Majesty's teachings!"

In dealing with the people of Western Xia, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed benevolent and righteous.

Li Weiming looked at Zhao Hong, who was smiling, and frowned slightly.

If it weren't for Zhao Hong, the people of Western Xia wouldn't know what kind of suffering they would have to suffer? I don't know what kind of fate I have to go through?

However, will her Great Xia Kingdom see the light of day again? Since Zhao Hong has the determination to accept the land of Xingling, why is he unwilling to help the Great Xia Preservation Kingdom?

Li Weiming's heart was heavy, and he was unconsciously full of sadness.

Her gaze turned to Li Li, who was at the forefront of the hall, and the two brothers and sisters looked at each other for a short time, and Li Li shook his head slightly.

Li Weiming's face was gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he withdrew his gaze.

"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of pacification envoy of Xixia Road and go to live in Jinling City. Your Majesty's permission! ”

"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Lingzhou Zhizhou and go to live in Lin'an or Jinling, please allow Your Majesty!"

Li Li and Li Deren walked out one after another, and bowed solemnly to Zhao Hong on the throne.

The scene of a sit-in petition at the gate of the palace, will it make Zhao Hong angry and settle accounts after the autumn?

Zhao Hong remained silent, Li Weiming covered his face with his sleeves and coughed lightly.

"Great Song Tianzi, the old minister has a sentence that is not unhappy, I don't know if he can play it in the main hall to His Majesty?"

The famous Linggong immediately walked out and bowed.

"Old Linggong, please speak up!"

Zhao Hong nodded lightly, his voice soft.

The Great Song Emperor?

Wei Ming Linggong, this important minister of Western Xia, this is unwilling to go to the country in Great Xia.

"The Great Song Emperor, the Song Xia, Qin and Jin are good, and Princess Anguo gave birth to a prince for His Majesty. One day, if the Great Song Dynasty repels the Tatar army and the Guanhe River is peaceful, can Your Majesty let me restore the country in Great Xia for the sake of the princess and the prince? Thank you, Your Majesty, for your eternal achievements! ”

After speaking, he knelt on the main hall and kowtowed.

"Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, please help me restore the country in Great Xia, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Another Western Xia imperial historian, Gao Zhiyao, knelt in the hall and couldn't stand on the ground.

The ministers of the Western Xia Dynasty were silent, and many of the Song ministers were furious. Western Xia has surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, what are the intentions of these demon actions today?

If you knew today, why bother in the first place?

"Two, today is the Great Xia returning to the Great Song Dynasty, not the Great Song Dynasty forcing the Great Xia to surrender. What is your intention in saying this? Is it to embarrass my Song Tianzi? ”

"Two, those who respect people will always respect them. A country is capricious, and it can only bring humiliation on itself! ”

Prime Minister Xue Ji and Xixia Road all controlled Cao Youwen, and they spoke one after another, all of them with ugly faces.

"Wei Minglinggong, Gao Zhiyao, bold! Don't quit yet! ”

Li Wei scolded sharply, and his eyes unnaturally glanced at Zhao Hong and Li Weiming beside him.

"Emperor Song Tianzi, Princess Anguo, Concubine Xian, please, please save Daxia!"

Unmoved, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Xia Kingdom is willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain, and guard the place of rejuvenation for the eternal life of the Great Song Dynasty. I beg Your Majesty to grant mercy! ”

Yushi Gao Zhiyao also kowtowed to the ground, and "Bangbang" sounded.

The hall was silent, and the eyes of everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Hong and Li Weiming together.

"Your Majesty, please give a reply to the old ministers of Great Xia."

Li Weiming said softly, his eyes turned to Zhao Hong on the side.

Zhao Hong looked at Li Weiming, who had stubborn eyes, and the surprise in his eyes disappeared.

"Zhuqing, the Tatar army is about to move south, and it is too early to talk about the restoration of Great Xia. Where the Great Xia Kingdom goes, let the future speak. ”

Zhao Hong understated and was noncommittal.

He is not a dumb king, for the sake of a woman, he can ignore the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.

State affairs are important! The Great Song Dynasty is his, nor is it his, and the Great Song Dynasty belongs to tens of millions of Great Song people. For the sake of these tens of millions of Great Song people, he can be ruined, not for Li Weiming.

Western Xia is already rotting, is it possible to restore the country?

"Your Majesty, please calm the wrath of thunder, this is definitely not the original intention of the minister!"

When Li Li walked out, he was about to kneel, but was held up by Zhao Hong, who hurried down.

"Emperor Xia, don't be a big gift. I'm tired, so let's talk about it later. ”

The Western Xia has already died in the country, there is no need to insult the people who have died in the country, and there is no need to talk in vain, it is better to talk about it coolly.

Zhao Hong left, Li Weiming and Song Chen followed, leaving a palace full of Western Xia monarchs and ministers, looking at each other.

"What the hell are you going to do? Great Xia, it's dead! ”

After a long time, Li Li stomped his feet hard and sighed.

"Wei Ming Linggong, if you make such a fuss, the Great Song monarchs and ministers are even more suspicious of me and the Great Xia monarchs and ministers. Our situation is even worse! ”

Li Deren's face darkened, and he followed helplessly.

Back at the place where he stayed, Zhao Hong was angry and irritable.

What is this Li Weiming thinking? What exactly is being done? Why did you bring her to Western Xia?

Rebelling, Western Xia subjects, is this humiliating him?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang, it seems that she is in the Great Song Dynasty, but her heart is in the Great Xia!"

Xuan Xuan couldn't help it, and said cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the harem must not interfere in politics, otherwise there will be civil strife. The hearts of the people in Western Xia are unpredictable, and His Majesty must not guard against it. ”

Xue Ji said softly, gray hair, and his decay was fully revealed.

This trip to the west was tiring, but it was enough for him to choke.

"What Western Xia Kingdom, now under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty can rest assured, if anyone dares to make a mistake, the minister will not be polite! ”

Cao You said with a black face, annoyed.

In the land of Xingling, there are 50,000 or 60,000 border troops of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are tens of thousands of Great Song soldiers on duty in the city.

He was too merciful to Western Xia.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang went to King Xia's place, the brothers and sisters hugged their heads and cried, and all the courtiers burst into tears. The hearts of the Western Xia people are unpredictable, and His Majesty has made plans early. ”

Dong Songchen observed his words and said cautiously.

Zhao Hong nodded slightly, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

He could understand and respect the patriotism of Li Weiming's brothers and sisters, as well as the courtiers of Western Xia, but he could not allow the Great Song Dynasty to have a country within a state.

Danshu iron coupons can be had, and it is not difficult to be rich forever, but the great unified dynasties of all dynasties do not seem to have such a precedent as "a country within a country".

On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore. How much more is it a country within a state?

"Wait. Force does not solve everything. Western Xia has perished. Perhaps, this is just a small episode. ”

Zhao Hong whispered. He respects this kind of national feelings, and if it were him, he would be like the famous princes, and it would be difficult to give up his homeland.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army of the Keyimon Gate is coming!"

The sergeant came to report, which made Zhao Hong stunned.

On a hot day, did the Mongol army go south?

"How many are there?"

Cao Youwen immediately asked.

"About a thousand people!"

"A thousand or so people? It's just harassment by the Tatar rangers! This is also reported, don't hurry up and retreat! ”

Cao Youwen's face changed, and the sergeant hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but be happy. A thousand brave and diligent Mongolian iron horsemen are not in their eyes, and Cao Youwen is really Cao Daring.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar cavalry has appeared in the Keyi Gate, and the Western Xia monarchs and ministers are afraid that they will not be able to sit still again."

Xue Ji shook his head and sighed.

"What do they do? Put the soup pot up, stew the lamb with carrots, and prepare a few large watermelons to relax! ”

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, he had no liver or lungs.

Zhongxing Mansion is hot during the day, but the temperature is suitable at night, mutton soup pot, life is short, and it is the right time.

There are tens of thousands of Song border troops, and they are not afraid of the Mongol army.

As night fell, Zhao Hong was feasting with the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Xiao was out asking to see him.

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, wiped his hands and mouth, rinsed his mouth with tea, and walked out, and the two people in the courtyard, Wei Mingling Gong and Gao Zhiyao, knelt on the ground, their upper bodies were bare, their hands were tied, and a few branches appeared from the back of their heads, as if they were guilty of pleading.

"Your Majesty, the minister is sincerely obedient to the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise he would not have sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to serve the chart. Wei Ming ordered the two to disturb the court, and the minister specially tied up the two to come, and asked His Majesty to send them down. ”

Li Li was about to kneel, but was held up by Zhao Hong.

"King Xia, don't do this, there's no need! I believe in you. ”

Zhao Hong walked away, came behind the two of them, personally untied them, and threw away the symbolic branches.

"Wei Minglinggong, you two have done nothing wrong. I can also see that you two are loyal and righteous people. From my point of view, a country within a country has never existed in previous dynasties, and the Great Song Dynasty is not allowed to exist. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty. If I want to use my national strength to deal with the Tatar army, I may have to abandon the land of the spirit. ”

Zhao Hong spoke softly, and the two of them were silent and bowed their heads.

"Did you hear Your Majesty's words? Deaf? Don't get the order of thanksgiving! ”

Li Wei went over and scolded at the two of them with a black face.

"Shame on the face! Why don't you get the order of thanksgiving? ”

Li Deren's face was gloomy and he scolded angrily.

The Xixia Mansion has collapsed, and these actions only make the Xixia monarchs and ministers more embarrassed.

"Minister's will, minister's thanks!"

"Thanksgiving!"

The two of them finally spoke, their hearts full of bitterness.

"Both, get up, go back and rest."

persuaded the two away, and Zhao Hong affectionately pulled Li Li and Li Deren's uncle and nephew.

"King Xia, Duke Xia, let's go in and have a few drinks together."

"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of pacification envoy of Xixia Road and go to live in Jinling City. Your Majesty's permission! ”

"Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Lingzhou Zhizhou and go to live in Lin'an or Jinling, please allow Your Majesty!"

Li Li and Li Deren's uncle and nephew brought up the old matter again and solemnly saluted again.

"Your Majesty, Princess Anguo is young and reckless, and she is ignorant of the world, and I hope that Your Majesty will not be as knowledgeable as her."

Li Deren observed his words and looks, and said again.

"Family, how can I take it to heart? Two, get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows! ”

Zhao Hong pulled the two and stepped into the house.

At the end of the banquet, Li Deren's uncle and nephew left with a heavy heart, and Zhao Hong frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, what now?"

Cao Youwen asked ignorantly.

"What to do? Cold! Do a good job of being the ruler of your Western Xia Road, if the Tatar army breaks through your defenses, be careful of my ten tortures! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The last general will definitely defend the land of Xingling and not let the Tatar army break through! ”

Cao Youwen's face was solemn and he replied solemnly.

It seems that the emperor's attitude towards the return of Western Xia to the Song Dynasty was tough and never changed.

"Xue Qing, the proposed decree is to transfer Shi Songzhi, the shou of Wuwei County on Hexi Road, to enter Zhongxing Mansion, serve as the pacification envoy of Xixia Road, and transfer Jia Zikun to serve as the governor of Lingzhou, and Keri will take office without delay!"

The land of Xingling was ruined, and Shi Songzhi was a cadre, and it was the right time to transfer him to Xixia Road to appease the people and restore the people's livelihood.

As for the restoration of the Western Xia, let's do their big dream of spring and autumn!

Outside Li Weiming's room, the room was dark, Zhao Hong stopped Dong Songchen and stepped forward to knock lightly.

"Princess, are you resting? Let's talk. ”

"Your Majesty, I have fallen asleep. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

Li Weiming's voice was soft, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

Zhao Hong shook his head lightly and turned to leave.

At present, the state affairs cannot be indecisive, and there is no room for the kindness of women. As long as he is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia cannot be a country within a country, and no one can influence his will, including his virtuous concubine Li Weiming.
