In the spring afternoon, at the Lizhou camp and the Chinese army camp, Zhao Hongjunchen, Luo Shichang and other Xixia envoys saw the ceremony and sat down separately.
"Ms. Luo, long time no see. You are in good spirits and haven't changed at all!"
Zhao Hong laughed and subconsciously glanced at Li Weiming, who was a little reserved.
Beautiful and elegant girls always make people feel relaxed and happy.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he is becoming more and more domineering and revealing, which makes this veteran heartbroken."
Luo Shichang was smiling all over his face, and he felt much more relaxed.
Jun Wu joked that Zhao Hong was waiting for him at the Shukou border fortress, which made him completely relieved.
It seems that there is indeed some skill in rescuing Xixia.
"Xiangong Luo, how is the war in Daxia?"
Zhao Hong did not shy away from anything and went straight to the point. This is also his usual way of doing things.
"Your Majesty, I passed by the border fortress and met a scout who reported the military situation. The Tatars had just captured Hexi Guazhou, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were massacred. The Tatar army is besieging Suzhou, and Suzhou is in emergency. I think before the weather gets hot, in the land of Hexi, It’s more bad than good.”
When the Tatar army invaded, the smile on Luo Shichang's face disappeared and his expression turned ugly.
"The Tatar cavalry are invincible in the world, and now there are Han people attacking the city on their behalf. I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on to the land west of Hexi."
Zhao Hong nodded. He raised his head and glanced at Li Weiming. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He asked softly:
"Ms. Luo, why don't you introduce me to me? Who is this beautiful lady?"
Ladies were given priority, especially attractive young beauties. Before Luo Shichang could take the initiative to introduce them, Zhao Hong couldn't wait and asked first.
Luo Shichang was sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty. He would not take his daughter or concubine to travel at public expense, right?
Xixia has reached the edge of national subjugation. This is not the time.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce you to you. This is Li Weiming, the princess of Great Xia Anguo. I am going to the Song Dynasty with my old minister to have an audience with the Emperor of Song Dynasty."
Luo Shichang's smile returned to his face and he introduced Li Weiming to Zhao Hong.
Princess Anguo was graceful and noble, with unparalleled talent and beauty, and she could really make the eyes of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty glow.
"It turns out to be Princess Daxia An, please sit down and serve tea!"
Zhao Hong was surprised for a while, couldn't help but look at Li Weiming a few times, and nodded lightly.
Luxurious and elegant, she is worthy of being a Xixia princess from a famous family.
"Li Weiming met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Li Weiming stood up and bowed, his face flushed slightly.
Although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty spoke strangely, he had a dignified appearance and a friendly smile, which gave her an inexplicable sense of security and made all her worries disappear.
"Princess, it's been a long journey, you're welcome!"
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and his voice was much softer.
She has black hair and a beautiful face, and a few light freckles on her face. Although she is not that stunning, she is tall and well-mannered, and the more she looks at her, the more attractive she becomes.
She has long legs and a thin waist, fair complexion, and long black hair that almost reaches her waist.
With the vicious eyes of his veteran driver, this Li Weiming will definitely be a world-famous model shining brightly on the catwalk in future generations.
"Your Majesty, I am here under orders this time. I also ask your Majesty to send troops to rescue Xia. Da Xia will never forget the kindness of the Song Dynasty!"
Luo Shichang coughed and took out the imperial edict and presented it to him. Yu Jie took it and presented it to Zhao Hong, who was just waking up from a dream.
"Marriage?"
Zhao Hong couldn't help but was stunned. He looked at the imperial edict of Xixia Emperor Li Dewang and turned to Li Weiming, whose face was red.
Emotions, this dignified Xixia princess, were prepared for him.
Although he was lonely in spring, this... was so embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, I have personally decreed from the emperor that Princess Anguo will be betrothed to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. From then on, the two countries will become a good and brotherly state of Qin and Jin."
Luo Shichang observed his words and continued:
"Your Majesty, this is Li Weiming, the princess of Anguo in Great Xia. She is seventeen years old and is waiting to be married. I hope that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will not dislike her and let the princess serve the emperor. The two countries will be friendly and will never violate each other."
Luo Shichang came slowly, and all the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty in the hall looked at each other in astonishment.
The Mongolian army is overwhelming, and Xixia is about to be destroyed. At this time, Xixia is about to marry the Song Dynasty. Is this to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, or to provide support before death?
This is too cruel and insidious!
"Ms. Luo, is this a little too hasty?"
The ministers were about to make a move. Zhao Hong looked at Luo Shichang and Li Weiming and smiled slightly.
"The princess is young and beautiful. I feel uneasy about having her stay away from her homeland and marry an unknown person. Let's discuss this matter later."
Unexpectedly, Xixia was desperate and had to resort to the tactic of making love.
Although he "I am sick and lustful," he is not so shameless as to let a little girl throw himself into his arms.
Even if Xixia did not make peace with the Song Dynasty, he would send troops to save Xia. Firstly, they massacred the Mongolian army, and secondly, they took the opportunity to temper the border troops and prepare for future wars.
As for saving Xixia civilization, as a later generation, he seems to have this obligation, but he doesn't know if he can do it.
"Your Majesty, you must never agree!"
Sichuan Zhizhi envoy Cui Yu immediately stood up. He paid homage to Zhao Hongsu without caring about the shock and psychological shadow of Luo Shichang and Li Weiming.
"Your Majesty, the Tatars are powerful, invincible in cavalry and shooting, and they have Han soldiers to march forward. Now the Tatar army is attacking the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia people are about to perish. At this time, you must not marry with the Xia people, to avoid anger. If you defeat the Tatars, there will be endless troubles!”
Cui Yu's white beard trembled and his expression was extremely solemn.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Wouldn't it be a good idea to marry Xixia people at this time to drag the Song Dynasty, which was waiting for something to happen, into the flames of war?
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal to Xianggong Cui. Now the Song Dynasty is waiting to be revitalized, the New Deal is being implemented, the defense of Shukou is still being restored, and the new army is still being organized and trained. You must not use weapons rashly at this time, otherwise it will bring disaster to the Song Dynasty Unexpected disasters may cause the New Deal to fall by the wayside. Your Majesty, be careful!"
Guo Zhengsun, the pacifying envoy of Lizhou West Road, came out. Like Cui Yu, he also gave a deep voice to remonstrate.
The Tatar army dominates the world, who can defeat it? The Jin Kingdom was driven back to the south of the Yellow River by the Tatars. With the current strength of the Song army, it was definitely not a good time to use force against the Tatar army.
Once the Tatars are offended, the disaster may be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, the Song and Jin Dynasties are feuding. Your Majesty founded the martial arts hall, organized and trained the new army, and implemented the New Deal. Don't you just want to enrich the country and strengthen the army and regain the lost homeland of the Song Dynasty? Why bother with the Tatars at this juncture? As enemies? The Song Dynasty and the Tatars joined forces to deal with the Jin Kingdom. It is unwise for the Song Dynasty and the Tatars to conflict at this time. I ask your Majesty to think twice."
Gao Dingzi, the former commander-in-chief of Sichuan and now the pacifier of the two Zhejiang West Roads, followed with a dark face and loudly objected.
He is about to be transferred from Sichuan to Zhejiang to take up a post. Although he will be promoted, it does not prevent him from speaking out.
The emperor was young and impulsive, but he did not know the possible consequences of such arbitrary actions.
"Ms. Gao, please don't be arrogant in front of His Majesty."
Zhao Hong frowned, and Cui Yu quickly scolded Gao Dingzi.
The power of heaven is unpredictable, there is a difference between up and down, and the high stature is a bit too high.
"Your Majesty, I was reckless, please forgive me."
Gao Dingzi looked ugly and bowed.
"It doesn't matter. Good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice offends the ears. I won't care."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly. He appreciated Gao Dingzi's uprightness.
Those mediocre officials who only obey when things happen, talk less and kowtow more, are the biggest cancer in the officialdom.
"Your Majesty, Song and Xia share the same culture and race, and Han people account for more than half of the Xia Kingdom. Your Majesty can't bear to watch them being wantonly slaughtered by the Mongolian army? Princess An is from the royal family of Daxia, and I, the Emperor of Daxia, decreed a marriage. Do you mean to reject me? Is Daxia’s intention of fisting?”
Luo Shichang bowed solemnly and spoke urgently.
Emperor Song had already promised him, was he going to renege on his promise?
He could also see clearly that only Song Emperor Zhao Hong seemed to agree to send troops for reinforcements in the lobby. All other Song ministers were opposed.
With so many courtiers opposing it, would Emperor Song still send troops to save Xia?
Luo Shichang's heart was filled with anxiety and bitterness.
Princess Li Weiming of Anguo looked at Zhao Hong, her face pale and her heart trembling.
"If Your Majesty does not agree to make peace with Daxia and is unwilling to send troops to rescue Daxia, Li Weiming will have no choice but to commit suicide in repayment to our emperor and all the people of Daxia!"
If someone from Song Dynasty "returns the goods", she really doesn't know what to do except commit suicide?
Commit suicide!
Zhao Hong glanced at Li Weiming and shook his head slightly.
"Princess Anguo, don't just seek life and death. There is always a solution to everything. There are still many beautiful things in life worth appreciating and finding, so don't say stupid things anymore."
This young woman, Princess Xixia, is dignified, quiet and elegant, but unexpectedly has a strong temper.
