In the autumn season of September, Su Jin personally went to the Xia State as an envoy to show that the Great Song Dynasty was open to trade and assisted the Xia people in rebuilding, and invited Yeli Dulan and Li Ninglingge, the ruler of the Xia State, to meet with the Great Song Emperor.

For Su Jin's arrival, the mood of the Xia Kingdom is contradictory, this person is the culprit of the civil strife in Xia, and Daxia is now in a difficult situation, which is due to this person; But at the same time, I have to admit that it was this person who allowed Xia Guo Sheji to be thoughtful, otherwise under the combined attack of the Liao and Song Dynasties, Sheji would have already overturned.

Especially the people who are in power now, the Empress Dowager Yeli and the lord of the country, Li Ninglingge, are naturally the beneficiaries, if there is no Su Jin to take risks and move around, now I am afraid that they will die without a place to bury under the power of the Wuzang clan, Zhang Yuan, Ren Jingde and others are also beneficiaries, so from the bottom of their hearts, they do not have such a strong hatred for Su Jin.

After the battle of Xia and Liao, in less than half a month, Yelu Zongzhen, the lord of Liao, sent an envoy to Xia to show goodwill to the Xia people, in addition to clarifying that Xia and Liao were both victims of this war, but also deeply analyzed the behavior of the Song people, asking Xia to recognize the situation, rebuild the traditional friendship with Liao, and jointly deal with the upcoming Song people's various defeats; In fact, there is no need to be reminded by the Liao State, and the Xia State court can also see this very clearly, they did not hesitate to risk provoking the Song State, and resolutely transferred the northern army to the south quickly, holding the two places of Youzhou and Huizhou, although they did not reply to the Liao State in writing, they had already made their position clear in action.

Su Jin came to envoy, Xia was very nervous, and thought that the Song people came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and now even if they form an alliance with the Liao, the two sides may not be the opponents of the Song State, and it is always better to delay a year or two to restore the national strength; For Yeli Dulan, she was even worried that Su Jin came for the secret trade between the two families, because after the war, the Xia Kingdom's war horses lost more than 100,000 horses, and Yeli Dulan had ordered the Yeli tribe to prohibit the trade of war horses for grain with Su Ji, and in the face of losing her head and starving, she would obviously choose the latter.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Jin actually proposed what the Xia people dreamed of, opening up trade between the two countries, aiding grain at low prices, and even Zhao Zhen wanted to apologize to them in person; This is like a thirsty traveler in the desert who suddenly sees a big lake, both overjoyed and worried that it is a mirage, and has suffered a lot of losses from the Song Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom undoubtedly has a great psychological vigilance against the Song people.

After politely settling Su Jin, the Xia Kingdom began to negotiate nervously, and the old ministers and upstarts of the court, from the Empress Dowager to the ministers of various ministries, were all asked to express their opinions on this matter, obviously there would only be two opinions that could not be held in this kind of discussion.

One is to take Zhang Yuan as the representative group, and it is recommended to seize this opportunity to fully restore the national strength, because although the trade between the Xia State and the Liao people is open, it cannot communicate with each other, the value of trade is not large, and the help to the Xia State is not obvious; Another group of people believes that the Song people are delaying the army, adopting a strategy of co-optation, and the purpose is to finally break through, and perhaps they will use this matter to strain the relationship between Liaoxia and Xia, and then use the safety of the country as a coercion to force the Xia State and the Liao people to fight.

The two opinions are inconsistent, so that the Empress Dowager Yeli has no choice, the Empress Dowager Yeli has no choice but to come up with a heart-to-heart plan, she wants to have a good talk with Ahri and Yeli Dulan, who followed Su Jin's envoy, maybe Su Jin will not talk to the two girls about any national affairs on the pillow, but the two daughters are deeply favored by Su Jin, and they must know all the inside information.

Empress Dowager Yeli warmly invited Su Jin and his entourage to visit various scenic spots in Xingqing Mansion, and sent Zhang Yuan and the old monks to entangle Su Jin when resting in the meditation room of Chengtian Temple, and he quietly talked to Yeli Duanyun and Li Ahri in the meditation room.

Yeli Duanyun said: "Auntie, my niece knows that my Great Xia is defensive of Su Jin, and my niece also feels guilty for this, because in the previous incidents, Su Jin's actions did a lot of damage to my Great Xia; But for my Yeli tribe, Su Jin is considered to have done his best, and he has never done anything unfavorable to my Yeli tribe; Even a few months ago, my aunt ordered the suspension of the war horse trade, Su Jin did not blame me and my cousin for this, on the contrary, he comforted us and said, 'This matter is normal, the Queen Mother's decision is a decision that is beneficial to the Xia Kingdom, standing on this position, I can understand that the war horse trade can be terminated, and Su Ji will not cut off other transactions with the Yeli tribe because of this, You can rest assured', aunt, that's why Su Ji is still secretly delivering food to our Yeli tribe, if the famine in the future is without these grains, you should know very well what Great Xia will look like. ”

Yeli Dulan nodded and said: "This is still like a word, the mourning family will say, my two beautiful girls have been deceived by him, and he can be regarded as the son-in-law of our Yeli tribe, so he will not be so ruthless." ”

Yeli Duanyun said: "He won't, think about it, for Ahri, he can take risks, and almost died in the palace with us, just by virtue of this, you should believe in his character; Of course, he is a Song person, and he is in a high-ranking position, and it is understandable that each is his master, so the starting point of doing things is for the sake of the Song Kingdom, but he will find a balance between them; Aunt knows that the Song State was extremely angry when he learned that my Great Xia and the Liao people had rebuilt the old relationship, if it weren't for Su Jin's maneuvering around, my Great Xia would already be overwhelmed by a large army, and the strength of the Song State would be more than enough to destroy my Great Xia now, but Su Jin did not agree to do so, which was the intention of protecting my Yeli tribe. ”

Ye Lidulan was shocked and said: "They are intent on attacking Xia? Aren't you afraid of Liaoxia joining forces? ”

Yeli Duanyun said: "I don't understand the matter of fighting, the Song State may not be afraid of the Great Xia and the Liao State joining forces at all, and you are so sure that the Liao people will send troops to rescue them?" The Liao people have been hit hard, and it is not known whether they may choose to recover. ”

Ye Li Dulan was silent and said: "So, this time Su Jin came to my Great Xia to open all kinds of preferential conditions, and the additional conditions must be to break off diplomatic relations with the Liao?" ”

Yeli Duanyun shook his head and said: "This niece really doesn't know, although he will definitely tell me if I ask Su Jin, but I won't ask, the Su family will not ask, even the eldest lady of the Su family, Yan Biyun, never asks Su Jin's official business; However, my niece is also a member of the party, and my heart naturally hopes that my party and clan will prosper and live and work in peace and contentment, from this point of view, my niece believes that it is safer to rely on the Song State than to rely on the Liao people, and the tiger and wolf nature of the Liao people can be known from his attitude towards the northern Jin people and the Goryeo people. ”

Ye Li Dulan said: "Why aren't the Song people? When the first emperor was in power, the Song people and the first emperor fought for several years. ”

Yeli Duanyun sighed: "Auntie, don't be forgetful, that is, the first emperor was not satisfied with the status quo and suddenly established himself as the emperor, the Song people have the best face, as long as they have face, even if they suffer a little loss, it doesn't hurt; My aunt thought about it, before the first emperor established himself as emperor, was there a large-scale conflict between Song and Xia for decades? Moreover, the Song State also gives New Year's coins and silks every year, and the border trade is also very active, if there is no support from the Song people in those decades, how can I have today? I'm afraid that it has already been wiped out by the things of the Tubo and Liao people. ”

Ye Li Dulan was silent, this is the truth, in fact, if it were not for the support and tolerance of the Song Kingdom, Li Yuanhao would not have the strength to argue with the Song people, go back in time, if Li Yuanhao did not take that step ten years ago, now Daxia is afraid that he would have been rich and oily, and he would not live in fear every day, nor would he be in crisis everywhere, and the people would not even be able to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Ye Li Dulan made a decision in her heart, in her hands, Great Xia must be stable, in the end, Great Xia is too barren, and there is no capital to dominate the world, and if it continues to jump, it is unknown that it may really destroy the country and extinct the species.

"Is he okay with you? Both of you are my noble daughters of Great Xia, but you are really wronged to be his concubines. Ye Lidulan finally showed his warm side.

Li Ahri smiled: "Don't worry about the queen mother, my cousin and I are very happy, the Su family is not as hierarchical as you think, Sister Yan is also a good person, in the Su family, we are each in charge of a business, we are very busy, and we are also very respected; There is no title of wife and concubine in the Su family, my cousin and I are both wives, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has also been named, and my cousin and I are both Mrs. Wupin. ”

Ye Li Dulan sighed: "If you don't let the princess of Great Xia do it, you are so happy to have a lady of fate, I really don't know what you think." ”

Yeli Duanyun said: "We have no interest, and it is nothing if we don't give our orders, we just like someone, and we are satisfied if we can follow him." ”

Ye Li Dulan sighed again: "You have all changed, Duanyun would never say such a thing before, Duanyun used to be like a little wild horse on the grassland, it seems that Su Jin has completely tamed you." ”
