"Take a trip to Xingqing Mansion?"

Yelu Hongji frowned and said, "Ah Si, aren't you afraid that the Liang family will take risks?" In the past, the first emperor had twice attacked the summer, but he couldn't win! ”

"The old minister is not afraid!" Yelu Asi touched his white beard and said with a smile: "Because the Liang clan has used troops against the Song Dynasty for thirteen years, not only did they not win, but also lost Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain, the people's resentment in the country is boiling, the people's hearts are floating, and the authority of the Liang clan is shaky, so they have to vote for the Song Dynasty to protect themselves." And the party magnates in his country, seven or eight times out of ten, were concealed by the Liang family, and they didn't know that they had a secret connection with the Song Dynasty, otherwise how could our dynasty know nothing?

Therefore, our army came to aid Xia, and it was impossible for the Liang clan to launch a large army to resist, and it was not enough to rely on a few of Liang's cronies and sworn friends to win. If it is not victorious, and the plot to surrender to the Song Dynasty is exposed, the party magnates of the Xia State will definitely rise up and attack, and then the Liang family will die without a place to be buried.

Therefore, the old minister thought that the Liang family would not dare to risk the lives of the whole clan. ”

"If you don't take risks, will you still sit still?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

Yelu Asi smiled: "The old minister thinks that the Liang family will not take risks, nor will they sit idly by, but will go out to join the Song Dynasty!" ”

"Running to Song?" Yelu Yanxi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't the Xia Kingdom going to become the Dingyan Army of the Song Kingdom?" ”

"The Liang family can vote for the Song Dynasty, but the Xia Kingdom will not vote for the Song Dynasty." Yelu Asi said with a smile, "Because the Xia Kingdom has been self-reliant for decades, the party elites in the country have long been accustomed to it, and if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, how can they be willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty?" Now it's only the Liang family that is exhausted, not the Xia Kingdom. ”

Yelu Yanxi asked again: "Then will the Liang clan hijack the lord of the country and return to the Song Dynasty?" ”

Yeluas smiled: "What if it was hijacked? There are many people who can be the lord of the country, and if she robs Qianshun, His Majesty can set up another one. ”

Yelu Hongji stroked his hands and laughed, "That's very good! As long as the Xia Kingdom exists, I don't care who will be the lord of the country!

Ah Si, I will order you to lead the palace army of 20,000 and the leather room army of 10,000 to save the Xia Kingdom! I will give you another secret decree, allowing you to kill the Liang clan and assist Qianshun in his own government.

In addition, you can send someone to send the "Liang's Photo Picture" sent by Song Guo to Xingqing Mansion first. Then tell Liang that if she is willing to leave on her own and stay behind, I will marry her as a princess. When the time comes, she will be able to enjoy the glory in Kaifeng Mansion, her son will still be the lord of Xia State, and my Da Liao will be the same son-in-law as Xia Guo. ”

The old emperor of Da Liao and Yelu Asi are really a good pair of monarchs and ministers, when the courtiers will be with the mud, when the emperor likes and the mud, the two of them actually discussed a solution that can satisfy the Great Liao, Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he didn't want to fight with the Song Kingdom, but he didn't know how to fight with the mud before he proposed to attack Yanmen Pass, he asked: "Grandpa Huang, how should the Great Song side respond?" ”

Yelu Hongji smiled: "It's easy to do, didn't Zhao Xu's faint monarch want the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang?" Can't I say yes? The old man still looks at the portrait of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, if Zhao Xu wants to accept the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang as a concubine, I can be a matchmaker...... In this way, Zhao Xu is the stepfather of Qianshun, the lord of Xia Kingdom, Song Xia should always be able to get along peacefully, right? ”

Are you satisfied?

The official family of the Great Song Dynasty the queen mother of Western Xia and became the stepfather of Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, and Qianshun married the princess of Liao and became the son-in-law of the emperor of Liao.

Such...... The Emperor of Liao and the official family of the Great Song Dynasty are in-laws!

What a great national harmony!

……

"After ...... Stepfather? ”

When Zhao Xu found out that he was very likely to be a father, it was already the fifth day of the second month of the second year of Yuanfu.

After the early court on this day, Zhao Xu learned that the envoys of the Liao State asked to see him, saying that he had just received the edict of the Liao lord. So Zhao Xu met with the Liao envoy in the Chongzheng Palace, accompanied by the prime minister Zhang Dan, the privy envoy Zeng Bu and the privy council all promised Cai Jing.

Originally, the monarchs and ministers did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and they imagined that the Liao lord Yelu Hongji was very likely to make a deterrent move, and even sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass. Therefore, in the first month, Zhao Xu secretly transferred 30,000 elites from the Western Army to aid Hedong Road. He also secretly ordered the east and west roads of Hebei, and the forbidden army on the east and east roads of Hedong to prepare for martial law.

And today's Liao envoy's report at the Chongzheng Hall surprised several monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji actually wanted to marry the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia to Zhao Xu, and let Zhao Xu be the stepfather of Xia Zhu Qianshun...... This kind of thing is not without precedent in the diplomacy of the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty. Didn't Shi Jingjiao recognize Khitan Daddy? But recognizing your father doesn't mean sending your mother to be!

I really don't know how Yelu Hongji came up with this idea? Li Yuanhao wants to know that the queen mother of his Great White Gaoguo (Western Xia) is going to be sent to the Great Song Dynasty official family to play, and I don't know if he will be angry?

Xiao Haogu, who had a big golden crown on his head, glanced at the stunned monarchs and ministers in the hall, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but the mission still had to be completed, he said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, my Emperor Liao has always hoped that the Three Kingdoms can coexist in harmony, but the Empress Dowager Liang is aggressive and domineering, and has provoked the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and now she can only ask the Great Song Emperor to personally discipline her......"

How to discipline?

Zhao Xu thought to himself: Can't you still hang it up?

Xiao Haogu sighed softly, and said: "My 100,000 palace tent soldiers in Da Liao are already on their way to Xingqing Mansion now, and the Empress Dowager of the Liang family, who wants to come to Xia Kingdom, will soon bind herself to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for guilt...... If Your Majesty thinks that her appearance is still eye-catching, please include her in the harem. In this way, the Great Liao, the Great Song and the Xia Kingdom were each other's in-laws. We will be able to coexist peacefully in the future. ”

It seems like...... Kind of makes sense!

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dan, the old man was trying hard to keep himself from laughing. Looking at Zeng Bu again, he opened his mouth and looked surprised. And Cai Jing was already covering his mouth with his big sleeves, and it seemed that he couldn't help it.

But although this thing is ridiculous, it is also very happy. The Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have been fighting for so many years, and there are many times when they suffer losses and few times when they take advantage, but this time they really took advantage of it!

Even if the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia is not included in the harem and raised as a hostage in Kaifeng Mansion, it will make Western Xia bow down to the Great Song Dynasty for a long time in the future.

With the Western Xia's obedience, it was much easier for the Great Song Dynasty to recover and consolidate the Hehuang region. After having the land of Hehuang, the Great Song Dynasty was able to establish contact with the Huangtou Hui (the remnants of the Ganzhou Hui Hui) and thus obtain good horses from the Western Regions.

"Zhang Qing, Zeng Qing, Cai Qing," after seeing the two Liao envoys leave the Chongzheng Palace, the smile on the face of Zhao Xu, who had always been serious, couldn't hide it, and asked with a smile, "But you won a big victory?" ”

Zhang Dian smiled and said: "It is indeed a great victory, as long as the Liang family enters the court, the western thief will no longer be a trouble for my court." ”

Zeng Bu also said: "The western thief has been in trouble for decades, and today it is finally pacified by His Majesty, and the ministers congratulate His Majesty and congratulate the Great Song Society." ”

Cai Jing said: "The Liang family has been in charge of the Xia Kingdom for thirteen years, and there are a lot of people in the heart, if Your Majesty can treat each other with courtesy and gradually accept his heart, he will definitely be able to make changes within the Western Thief in the coming day, and then it will be able to be flattened." ”

Zhao Xu nodded proudly and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing and Cai Qing have contributed to the success of Liaoxia this time, and that martial artist has also made great contributions, and they should all be rewarded." The rest of the meritorious ministers should also be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the two governments should come up with a list of meritorious officials and a method of commendation as soon as possible. Those who should be transferred to officials will be transferred, those who should be knighted will be knighted, and those who should be given money will be given more money! ”

……

Wu Haogu didn't know at this time that one of his "Portraits of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" had turned into huge butterfly wings, and it was likely that Xia Zhu Qianshun would turn him into the son of the Song Dynasty emperor's oil bottle......

However, he was not idle during this time, and after a short Yuan Day holiday, Wu Haogu received a painting task that did not make money - to draw a family portrait to the Queen Mother, and it was also an oil painting!

This old lady's requirements are really not low, the painting should not only have the Empress Dowager Xiang herself, but also paint all the living children and concubines of Emperor Shenzong, a total of ten people, including Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu (Zhezong's biological mother), official Zhao Xu, Shenwang Zhao Yan, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, Yan Wang Zhao Yu, Jian Wang Zhao Si, Yue Wang Zhao Si, Princess Kangguo, German princess and other ten people.

Of course, it is not easy to paint a large-scale oil painting with ten figures together, and it is difficult for Wu Haogu to complete it in a short period of time, so he simply found Mi Youren and Zhao Ji, and the three of them painted together.

First, Wu Haogu drew pencil sketches of the standing and sitting postures of the Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu, Zhao Xu, the official Zhao Xu and Duan Wang Zhao Ji, and then Mi Youren drew pencil sketches of King Shen, King Yan, King Jian and King Yue, and Zhao Ji went to draw the two princesses of Kang Guo and Germany.

Then Wu Haogu painted a chalk book (pencil drawing) in the Duanwang Mansion, determined the layout of the oil painting and the posture and clothing of each person, and finally painted the oil painting on a large linen cloth.

The three of them also worked together - Zhao Ji was responsible for typing the oil painting with carbon strips, Mi Youren was responsible for blending the oil paint, and Wu Haogu was responsible for painting the oil paint. Of course, Zhao Ji and Mi Youren's work was carried out under the guidance of Wu Haogu, and in fact, Wu Haogu was teaching Zhao Ji and Mi Youren oil painting skills...... At the same time, it is also to enhance the friendship between him and Duanwang Zhao Ji.

Painting has a price, but friendship is priceless!

While teaching oil painting skills and completing the "Family Portrait of the Empress Dowager", Wu Haogu did not forget the compilation of the "University Textbook" and the renovation of the Christie's Hall and the Painting Immortal Temple.

The drawings of the hall and the painting of the fairy temple were completed at the beginning of February, and construction can be started. The compilation of the "University Textbook" has also made some progress, and the illustrations for "Arithmetic" and "Constructing the French Style" were completed by the end of the first month.

In addition, Christie's also held its second big sale on the 28th of the first lunar month, with a total of 285,000 worth of paintings, calligraphy and antiques auctioned! It also includes a "Flower Drawing" by Wu Haogu.

The first issue of the "Oiran" album was also engraved on the first day of February, and it will soon be ready for printing and distribution......
