Tokyo, Kaifeng Province.

It was almost early summer, and there had just been a heavy rain in Kaifeng Mansion. The whole city has been washed, which seems to indicate that a refreshing era is coming, and it also allows the city to welcome the distinguished guests from the West with the freshest appearance - Mrs. Liang, the princess of Xiping!

It is the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia who took refuge in the Song Dynasty, although the Great Song Dynasty is now unable to conquer the Western Xia, but it can still take advantage of Mrs. Liang's verbal advantage. Just when the Liang family walked to Jingzhao Mansion, the edict of Zhao Xu, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, arrived, and the Liang family became the princess of Xiping...... In fact, it is equivalent to indirectly demoting Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, to the king of Xiping of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Mrs. Liang can only express her gratitude, but in fact, she is also grateful. Although Zhao Xu took advantage of her verbally, he really paid a lot of benefits. Because Zhao Xu sent all kinds of "Xiping Wang Qianshun" to the Liang concubine.

That's a lot of money!

The king of Xiping himself was a county king, a prince of the first rank, and in addition, Zhao Xu also gave Qianshun the title of Taiwei and the envoy of the Dingyan Army. The Taiwei is the highest level of the military officer, and the senior member of the second rank, and the envoy of the military festival is granted as a professional officer - this matter can be regarded as a precedent for dividing the festival envoy, which is bad for the ancestral family law.

However, most of the people who are famous in this festival will not admit it, and it is just a name for giving money to his mother, so no one cares.

And with the title of the county king, the rank of the captain, and the official of the festival envoy (the standard of the envoy), then Mrs. Liang can receive her son's salary, Lusu, job money, minister money, tea and soup money, coupons, kitchen materials, charcoal, humility, clothing and other various names of money and subsidies, there are always tens of thousands of dollars a year! It was much more than Mrs. Liang's spending when she was the queen mother in Western Xia - when she received these money and things, she would definitely be greatly surprised.

In addition, with the knighthood of King Xiping, the court can naturally give the first. Xiping Wangfu is rebuilt on the basis of the original Duting Xiyi, which is very grand and spacious, worth at least several million, which is probably more expensive than the entire Xingqing Mansion in the capital of Western Xia, and now it is also owned by Mrs. Liang!

The one-time reward and wealth are naturally not less, and the gold and silver treasures of silk and silk were given a lot, worth at least 100,000 yuan, which is enough for Mrs. Liang to squander in Kaifeng Mansion for a while.

Oh, and I also want to give the Liang family members who follow Mrs. Liang a mansion. There are so many people, naturally it is impossible for them to all be placed in Kaifeng Mansion, where every inch of land is valuable. Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty still has the relatively empty companion capitals of Yingtianfu and Daimyo's Mansion, so the less important members of the Liang family are arranged there.

From now on, everyone is a Song person, so don't think about fighting and killing anymore, study hard, and prepare to take the imperial examination......

Of course, all these good things, although Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, can't even hold a fart, he still has to express his gratitude - the things are for his mother, and he, who is a son, dares not to express his gratitude, Zhao Xu may really summon the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang into the palace...... Where will the smooth face be put at that time?

And in addition to face, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang has been in power in Western Xia for 13 years, is there any major military and political affairs in Western Xia that she doesn't know? Now that she has entered the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia is one-way transparent to the Great Song Dynasty. Do you still dare to fight with the Great Song Dynasty?

Since the Western Xia did not dare to move, the Great Song Dynasty was going to let go of its hands and feet to attack the Hehuang region ruled by the Na Gang Luo family. Without the support of Western Xia, it was only a matter of time before Hehuang was conquered by the Great Song Dynasty again.

At the time of today's Changju court, Zhao Xu proudly announced that he would use troops again! Wang Shu and Wang Zhen were appointed as the main and deputy commanders, and crossed the Yellow River from Hezhou to the north into the Huangshui Valley and marched to Qingtang City.

After finishing the regular court meeting ceremony attended by only important ministers, Zhao Xu returned directly to the Chongzheng Hall to deal with government affairs. The governors of the two prefectures attended the meeting and reported the court affairs that required the approval of the Son of Heaven one by one. Among them, the most surprising thing for Zhao Xu was the news about the riots in the Great Liao, Nanjing, Xijin Mansion and Longyan Tieshan in the Khan Prefecture.

In fact, two days ago, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road had been played separately, reporting the chaos in Liaoguo's Xijin Mansion and Longyan Tieshan. However, the news reported on Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road is very vague, and it is not enjoyable to watch.

And today, Prime Minister Zhang Dian sent Zhao Xu Jian Xuchen, who visited Liao, Li Zhong's chapter and wax pill book, and also presented Chen Youwen's "Yanjing Night Chaos".

The two letters detail the process of the rebellion in Nanjing's Xijin Prefecture and Longyan Tieshan in Khan Prefecture. And in the wax pill book, there was a news that was enough to surprise Zhao Xu and the two governors.

Jian Xuchen and Wu Haogu, the secret envoy sent by Li Zhong, had already contacted the relict Guangjun of the Bohai Kingdom, who launched the Longyan Tieshan Rebellion and the Yanjing Rebellion......

What a surprise!

Rao is a king like Zhao Xu, who has always been steady, and he couldn't help but cheer at this time: "Okay!" That's great! God bless Emperor Song! ”

God blesses you to be lucky enough to be this extent.

It's just that the official's face looks sallow and sallow, and it doesn't look like he's being blessed by God.

"By the way, is there any news of Wu Haogu?" Zhao Xu restrained his smile and showed a hint of anxiety.

Wu Haogu is with that Bohai anti-thief Guangming Jun, so he won't encounter any accidents, right?

If the Liao people are caught, it will be troublesome! This guy knows a lot of things, and I don't know if he will die at a critical moment......

Zhang Dian frowned, and replied: "There is no news yet, but before Chen Youwen left Yanjing, he did not hear the news that Wu Haogu or the Guangming Army were arrested and killed, and I think that he has escaped, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much." ”

Zhao Xu nodded, at this time, no news is good news.

"The fact that the Bohai people dared to raise an incident in Nanjing Province in Liaoning shows that they are very strong in their anti-Liao heart." Zhao Xu's tone was a little calm, "But the Yan family is unmoved, and is willing to be a Khitan lackey and slaughter righteous soldiers, which is really hateful!" ”

According to the report of Li Zhong and Jian Xuchen, the Yanyun wealthy family led by the Yan Sijia mobilized more than 16,000 soldiers in Yanjing City alone, of which nearly 6,000 were armor soldiers, and the rest were archers.

In addition, in the west of Yanjing City, there are 18,000 guards controlled by the children of Yanyun's wealthy families.

In other words, there are more than 34,000 armed forces controlled by Yanyun's wealthy family!

At this time, the Khitan army in Yanjing City was only more than 3,000 people, and most of them were anointed children who ate fasting and chanted Buddha......

What a 10-to-1 advantage! It was easy for the Yanyun wealthy family to take down the Xijin Mansion, but they did not hesitate to stand on the side of the Khitans to slaughter the Bohai righteous soldiers.

"Your Majesty, this Yanjing-Longyan chaos is an opportunity to test the hearts of Yanyun. The people of Yanyun have long been unbearable to the oppression of the Khitans, and they will rise up at the slightest disturbance. However, Yan Yun is strong and strong, but he is willing to be a lackey of Hulu, and he can no longer regard it as a Chinese ethnicity, and he cannot use it as an internal response in the Northern Expedition to Japan. The privy envoy Zeng Bu went out of the class and said.

He had already guessed Zhao Xu's intentions, and knew that he didn't believe in the family of Yanyun Gate lords - their roots were basically the Jiezhen generals of the fifth generation of Tang Ji, and they couldn't be relied on even if they thought about it.

Zeng Bu paused, and said: "In contrast, the Bohai remnants are determined to restore the country, and for more than 100 years, they have continued to do things, and their determination is admirable. ”

"Your Majesty, although the remnants of the Bohai Sea are commendable, their strength is too weak, and the Yanjing Rebellion was quelled in only half a day, and they didn't even attract the Khitan soldiers and horses, and they were easily suppressed by the Hao clan soldiers in Yanjing City alone. The strength of the Yanyun Hao clan and the weakness of the remnants of the Bohai Sea can be seen. Since Zeng Bu touted the Bohai people, Cai Jing, who became the deputy privy envoy, naturally had to put forward a different opinion, otherwise how could he show that he was more capable than Zeng Bu?

But on the matter, Cai Jing is right. It is true that the remnants of Bohai are anti-Liao Zhijian, but the five scum of the war are also true, and they can't beat the Yanyun Han people at all.

Cai Jing was right, Zeng Bu was not wrong, Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Zhang Dan, who seemed to be in his chest.

Zhang Dian stood up from the pestle, "Bohai Zhijian, Youzhou soldiers are strong, neither of them is the blessing of the Khitan, and they are both God bless my Emperor Song." Although Bohai is the sworn enemy of the Khitan, although there are three households in Chu, how can Fangzhen in Youzhou be willing to be a Khitan lackey? According to the old minister, both can be used by me, as long as the method is used, Pingliao Fuyan can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zeng Bu shook his head: "But Yan Yunhao is strong from the old Tang Youzhou Town, he has different ambitions, and now he has a strong army, if he is allowed to grow again, he may have the disaster of Yuyang and Drums in the future!" ”

After saying this, Zeng Bu swept Zhang Dian from the corner of his eye, vaguely proud. Although Zhang Dian is a lot older, he is still blindly radical in doing things and seeking government, as if he doesn't know the truth of Lao Cheng's country.

Today's Great Song Dynasty, isn't what he is most afraid of is the disaster of the feudal town? The foundation of Yan Yun Haoqiang's gang is precisely Youzhou Domain!

They already have a strong army on the side of the Liao State to dominate the side, if they return to the Great Song Dynasty, will they not divide the fourteen states of Yanyun (two states were recovered by Zhou Shizu)? Maybe there will be an inch, I want to ask the weight of the tripod!

Zeng Bu's words suddenly made the cheerful atmosphere in the Chongzheng Hall disappear without a trace.

The fourteen states of Yanyun have not been recovered, why is the town of Youzhou about to rise? This is not allowed!

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dian again, Zhang Dian considered his words, and said: "Your Majesty, the alliance with Youzhou to aid Bohai is all a strategy. And if you want to recover Yanyun, you can't just rely on strategy, and the use of soldiers is fundamental. If the imperial court does not have a strong army, Yanyun Haoqiang may become a Youzhou feudal town, and the Bohai relics know that it is not another Khitan country of birds and beasts? Bohai is not my race, and its heart will be different! If the imperial court has strong soldiers, the town of Youzhou can be pardoned with wealth and wealth, and the country of the Bohai Sea can be deterred by the might of soldiers, and my Great Song Dynasty can be as safe as Mount Tai. Therefore, the old minister thought that Youzhou might as well end it up, and Bohai might as well help it, but rectifying Hebei and Bule elite soldiers is the fundamental policy. ”
