Chapter 255 The Xixia court officials were in trouble! Third update! Please subscribe!

The envoy of Xixia looked ugly and said, "Since the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has made up his mind and there is no room for ease. This matter is important and the foreign minister cannot make a decision. But please give me some time. The foreign minister will go back and discuss with our Majesty. What is the result?"

Song Huizong nodded: "You go back and discuss with the Emperor of Xixia. If he agrees with our conditions, I, the Song Dynasty, immediately withdrew from the army. If it doesn't work, we, the Song Dynasty, will not blame us!"

Song Huizong was also influenced by Wu Zhi and became tough.

They should be so domineering in the Song Dynasty.

You can fight if you want, and don’t fight if you don’t want to fight?

There is no such good thing in the world. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.

This is what Song Huizong thought at this moment.

Although the civil and military officials in the court found it pleasant to bully the Xixia people like this, many court officials really couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad.

If the people of Xixia disagree and fight, they will certainly have an advantage in the Song Dynasty, but they will be a damaging force.

However, the Duke of Zhenguo is so domineering, which really makes many people admire him.

They had never been so tough before the Song Dynasty.

This feeling is pretty good.

The envoy of Xixia was slapped and looked so dull when he came that he looked pale when he returned. He left the court and set off for Xixia immediately.

He was unsure of this matter. If he agreed to this condition, he might be the Emperor of Xixia who would kill him.

In court.

Seeing that things had developed like this, Wu Zhi believed that Xixia would not dare to disobey, and even if he didn't listen, Yue Fei was going to capture several of his cities, they would be honest.

It’s just that this is a mess. Wu Zhi’s plan to deal with the bandits is probably delayed for a few days. It’s not too late to deal with the Xixia matter.

He also said the idea, but Song Huizong had no objection and agreed directly.

Retreat the court behind.

Many court officials were discussing after everyone left the hall.

"You didn't see the face of the Western Xia envoy just now. It was even worse than a pig. This time, our strong attitude towards Song Dynasty is what our Song Dynasty should have!"

"Well, indeed, if our Song Dynasty had always been so strong, there would be no such thing as being bullied by the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia before."

"In this regard, it was Duke Zhenguo who created new weapons and selected Yue Fei to pacify Xixia. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as our Song Dynasty said like today!"

"Hahaha, the Western Xia envoy just now probably didn't expect that our Song Dynasty was so domineering!"

"A great power, this should be true!"

"What the adults said is reasonable, but this matter is a bit unpredictable after doing this. I am worried that Xixia will not agree to go to a full war with our Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will also consume a lot!"

A courtier smiled.

One person said, "Then fight, destroy Xixia, and all consumption will be plundered from them. If they are destroyed, how much gold, silver and treasure will be obtained?"

"When thinking about it, what are our Song Dynasty Duke afraid of?"

"Hey, you said that, as long as we can beat Xixia, it is not a problem in terms of consumption!"

Yi Chaochen shook his head: "That is the consequence of a quick capture. What if the fight takes several years? This army will cost a lot!"

"Yue Fei captured several of their cities in a short time. If the main force of the army attacked with all their might, how long can they last?"

"Well...so!"

Many court officials were talking and even excited.

Cai Jing's group, Zeng Bu's group.

Wu Zhi also has some court officials around him, and these people all want to curry favor with him.

Wu Zhi and Zeng Bu were originally together, but now there are more courtiers around him. When they meet, they smile, be polite and flatter.

Wu Zhi is also happy to see this.

Of course, we can't expect these people to do anything.

Zeng Bu walked over: "Even I was shocked by the conditions that Zhenguo had just announced! That is, the Duke of Zhenguo dared to make such a big mouth! I can't even imagine such conditions."

"Yes!" several court officials said with a smile.

Wu Zhi asked the Western Xia to cede the eight cities, and the cities they captured were considered to be the repatriation of the Song Dynasty. In addition, they also compensated several million silver and materials for tribute every year, which was indeed a bit amazing.

In this way, the Xixia takes so much money to the Song Dynasty every year, which will consume their treasury. The Song Dynasty will slash them hard every year.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "The Xixia group thought that the Song Dynasty was the one they wanted to come and leave. This lesson was light. If the Xixia Emperor was not stupid, he would agree. If he disagreed, I personally led my army to invade their palace, and the Xixia country would be destroyed not far away!"

What Wu Zhi said is not bragging, that is, he really has such confidence.

After all, Yue Fei is a powerful general, and Wu Zhi has many newly-made weapons. His national strength is stronger than them, so why are he afraid of them?

Sometimes a few good generals can gain great advantages. Yue Fei is an example.

What's more, there are excellent equipment and supplies.

When everyone heard Wu Zhi's words, they bowed their hands.

Express respect for Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi can be both literary and martial, but if he has a disagreement, he will rush to the Xixia Palace?

This... is really admirable.

Zeng Bu also sighed. Who would have thought that Wu Zhi was just a scholar in the past, but now he is a big shot who can control the situation in the court and even give severe blows to foreign countries.

Now Zeng Bu has also learned to be smart and generally does not go against Song Huizong.

However, some of his new laws will be implemented slowly, but he is not in a hurry.

Because now, the Jin Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Xixia things are the most important.

Things in the court today quickly spread throughout Bianjing, and even the entire Song Dynasty.

All the people of the Song Dynasty were talking about in the teahouses and hotels, and many storytellers even restored the scene at that time, which made countless people applaud.

The reputation of Zhenguo Duke was widely circulated in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, some people will think that Xixia will definitely not agree, after all, Zhenguo’s public opinion is too big.

Xixia is a small country after all, and such a large amount of money is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of face.

How shame did they accept?

Some people also think that Xixia will accept it.

In short, it is normal for everyone to disagree.

Soon, as time passes a little by little...

now.

Xixia Imperial Palace.

A middle-aged man sat on a dragon throne and looked down at the surroundings. He looked majestic, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and was noble and extraordinary.

A pair of eyes exuded a look of unhurricity.

This person is Li Qianshun.

That is, the Emperor of Xixia,

Surrounding the tall and glorious palace, there are all civil and military officials from Xixia.

The Western Xia envoy knelt on the ground at this moment, telling Li Qianshun everything that happened in the Song Dynasty.

When Li Qianshun heard what the envoy of Xixia said, his face gradually turned pale.

The civil and military officials in the court also started to discuss!

Even insults!

"It would be fine if Yue Fei occupied the territory of Xixia and did not return it. After all, we are in the wrong, but we still have to ced the eight cities as compensation? This... is outrageous!"

"The Western Xia also had to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, tribute one million taels of silver, one thousand war horses, two hundred thousand juans, and forty thousand kilograms of tea every year!

"They also have to pay two million taels of silver alone as compensation for the war in the Song Dynasty! This is to kill our Xixia from the death of death!"

"They're going too far!"

"Especially the Duke of Zhenguo, how many times higher than the conditions offered by the Emperor of Song Dynasty?"

"The Duke of Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty is so bullying! 40,000 kilograms of tea and 200,000 kilograms of Juan are already a sky-high price. It even costs eight cities and one million taels of silver every year. How much silver is our Xixia treasury every year? This Duke of Zhenguo is simply damn!"

Some Xixia court officials wanted to spit out the saliva from their mouths.

It's so hateful!

The treasury income of Xixia is only a few million taels per year, and the Song Dynasty really wants too much!

"Duke Zhenguo?... Can this Duke Zhenguo in the Song Dynasty control the emperor's ideas?" Li Ganshun frowned, feeling that it would be difficult for them to handle this matter well.

Although he had heard of the title of Duke Wu Zhi of Zhenguo when the Song Dynasty took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, who could have thought that he had higher conditions than the emperor?
