Chapter 327 Emperor Xia: Zhao Gou dares to plot against my beloved concubine(2/3)
"As for the reason, you may not be able to understand it in the future!"
Zhao Ji's voice was calm and firm.
This made Zhang Jun feel that these unquestionable words burst out from Zhao Guanjia's mouth, which contained a huge sense of oppression and forced him to obey.
At the same time, Zhang Jun also felt that the Zhao Guan family became more and more unpredictable after a drastic change in temperament...
…………
Previously, the twelve summer envoys who were released by Zhang Jun according to the imperial edict of Zhao Guan's family galloped away with their horses and whips...
They were rushing on the road back to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom, under the scorching autumn afternoon sun.
The former Xijing City of Xia Kingdom, now the largest Lingzhou City of Song Dynasty, is more than 140 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom.
The twelve Xia envoys rushed on horseback, changing horses but not people at all the inns in Xia territory. More than two hours later, it was already after dusk when they rushed back to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia Kingdom.
They dismounted, and each of them felt the pain on the inner thighs of their thighs being rubbed by the horse's back.
They stood tremblingly in front of the gate of the majestic Great Xia Palace, waiting for Emperor Xia's summons. They were all heavy-hearted and frightened.
They didn’t know what the scene would be like when they reported to Emperor Xia the fact that the peace talks after their mission to the Song camp were fruitless, and the news they saw about the Song emperor’s personal conquest of Xijing, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, to the Xia Emperor. ?
The face of the Xia Kingdom's peace negotiator looked like he was most worried that after the Emperor of the Song Dynasty asked the Emperor of Xia for his concubine Cao, he would be furious.
They were in a nervous mood and waited outside the palace gate for nearly a quarter of an hour. It was already dark. When it was time to light the lamps, they were greeted by the eunuch who ran out of the palace and came to the palace to see Emperor Xia...
…
Daxia Kingdom Xingqing Mansion, inside and outside the palace, is solemn and solemn;
The political hall is brightly lit.
The maids and eunuchs standing outside the hall looked serious and nervous.
Before, they all heard the thunder and anger of Xia Emperor Li Qianshun in the political hall...
They vaguely heard that several ministers reported to Emperor Xia: The defeated army of Great Xia that escaped from Xijing City brought back the bad news of the fall of Xijing, the capital of Xijing...
…
At this time, twelve envoys from the Xia State who were envoys to the Song camp entered the political hall under the leadership of the eunuch who announced the decree.
They saw that it was not the time for a court meeting, but there were more than forty civil and military ministers standing in two rows in the main hall.
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was sitting on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, and the entire court was filled with an atmosphere of solemnity and tension.
"thump……"
"thump……"
Twelve envoys from the Xia Kingdom who were envoys to the Song camp knelt down in the main hall and kowtowed...
Emperor Xia Li Qianshun looked at the twelve envoys kneeling in the hall with burning eyes.
The envoys did not dare to raise their heads, but they felt the majestic anger emanating from Li Qianshun.
They were uneasy and uneasy, knowing that the result of their mission to the Song camp was not ideal. They had not completed the peace negotiations with the Song Dynasty that Emperor Xia had told them to do, and it was really difficult to return to their mission.
The summer envoys made the heart beat faster and the body trembled violently unconsciously.
This batch of envoys from the Xia Kingdom who were sent to the Song camp were even more nervous. He didn't know how to find an opportunity to mention to the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun alone that the Song Emperor asked for the Xia Emperor's concubine Cao, which was unspeakable.
"I heard from dozens of defeated troops guarding Xijing who fled back to the capital that Xijing has been captured by the Song army. Is this true?"
The twelve summer envoys who were sent to the Song camp nodded one after another and echoed:
"This is indeed true. Xijing has fallen. I saw it with my own eyes..."
"ah?!"
"ah?!"
More than 40 civil and military officials in the hall exclaimed...
Many of them, after being urgently summoned by Emperor Xia into the Nawai Palace, saw Emperor Xia Longyan furious, saying that Xijing might have been captured by the Song army. Of course, this battle report was not officially confirmed, but was obtained from dozens of deserters. news.
At that time, many ministers among them also comforted the Emperor of Xia: This was most likely a trick used by the Song army to shake the morale of our army. Xijing, the capital of Daxia, had strong city defenses and was guarded by King Pu. How could it happen so quickly? Was it defeated by the Song Army?
However, when they received confirmation from the twelve Xia envoys who were envoys to the Song camp, they were all shocked.
When Li Qianshun heard this, his brows furrowed and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
He asked angrily: "When I sent your envoys to the Song camp, the Song army only besieged the Xijing city of Daxia."
"Why was the Song army able to attack Xijing City so quickly after you were sent as envoys to the Song camp?"
"When you went to Song Ying to discuss peace, did you only bring back this result to me?"
"I deserve death for my crime..."
"I am incompetent..."
"I deserve death for my crime..."
"Your Majesty, please calm down..."
"Alas!" Li Qianshun sighed and said, "The peace negotiation between you and others has not been completed for me. So when you went to Song Ying as envoys, did you bring back important enemy information for me?"
The twelve summer envoys who were envoys to the Song camp looked at each other with bitterness in their hearts and could only answer truthfully:
"Your Majesty, although I have tried my best to mediate the peace negotiations between Xia and Song Dynasties, we were not summoned by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty after we went to the Song camp as envoys..."
"That's right! The Emperor of the Song Dynasty only sent Zhang Jun, a small sixth-rank official and middle school student, as an imperial envoy to negotiate peace with his ministers. Until the Song army forcibly sent the ministers and others to leave the Song camp, no peace was reached... "
"While I was still in the Song camp, I saw the Jin King of Daxia, who was captured by the Song army. He was ravaged by the Song army. He was hung on a carriage and pushed outside the Xijing city, where he was paraded to the public..."
"ah?!"
"Ah?!" More than 40 civil and military ministers in the hall were in an uproar.
Many of them also heard from the remnant defeated generals who fled back to the capital that the most powerful Iron Harrier Army in Great Xia was defeated by the Song Army outside Xijing City. The current Xia Emperor's half-brother Jin Wang Li Brother Cha was captured...
But now, when they heard with their own ears that the Xia envoys who had returned from their mission to the Song camp said that Brother Richard had been ravaged by the Song army and became a cripple, he was even more panicked and shocked...
Li Qianshun, who was sitting on the dragon throne, heard that his most trusted and relied-upon brother, Richard, was brutally ravaged by the Song army and became a cripple. He couldn't help but trembled with anger, causing the dragon chair under his buttocks to tremble. It also shook slightly.
Li Qianshun has always treated Richard as his own brother since he was a child. The two brothers have a deep love and a very good relationship.
Now, Li Qianshun heard that after Brother Richard, the most outstanding commander of the Great Xia Kingdom, was captured, he was ravaged by the Song army and became a cripple;
He almost collapsed emotionally. This was not only the sadness of losing an important official, but also the grief and anger of losing a loved one but being unable to do anything about it.
However, Li Qianshun deserves to be a heroic leader of the Xixia Kingdom.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists hard, and dug his nails into his palms.
A slight pain arose in the palms of his hands and spread to his brain.
He used pain to calm himself down as quickly as possible.
He suppressed his anger and continued to listen to the reports of these summer envoys:
"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that the ministers are incompetent. After the Song army entered Xijing City, the capital of Daxia Kingdom, they did not reach a peace agreement with the ministers..."
"The Song army was powerful, and Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty personally led the expedition. According to what we heard, the Song army also possessed mysterious weapons that could 'attract thunder', which is why they captured Xijing, the capital of our Daxia Kingdom, so quickly, forcing King Pu Li Renzhong to commit suicide. Yu Dongcheng, blood splattered on the city wall..."
"ah?!"
"Ah?!" The important civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom in the main hall were in an uproar again.
Li Qianshun was also shocked. In order to stabilize the hearts of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK, he pretended to be calm and said loudly:
"My dear friends, please don't panic!"
"My imperial brother Chage and my imperial nephew are both heroes!"
"Brother Cha was tortured to a disability by the enemies of the Song Dynasty, and he would rather be humiliated than surrender; Ren Zhong, he would rather die than surrender, and committed suicide to show his loyalty to the emperor and serve the country. The two of them can be said to be my loyal ministers, and all the beloved ministers should imitate them. A person is loyal to the emperor and serves the country!"
The ministers fell silent and immediately knelt down, each with their own thoughts in mind, and shouted:
"I must follow the example of King Jin and King Pu, be loyal to the king and serve the country, and would rather die than surrender..."
"I should take the King of Jin and King Pu as examples and be at odds with the enemy of Song..."
"…………"
Li Qianshun saw dozens of civil and military ministers kneeling below, and listened to their expressions of loyalty. In order to give his ministers confidence, he loudly said:
"Although the Song Dynasty enemy captured my Xijing, my capital city of Daxia is guarded by more than 30,000 troops. The enemy will not dare to attack from a long distance."
"What's more, I have already dispatched thirteen special envoys, holding the Thirteen Troops Troop Troop Silver Medal given by me personally, to the tribal armies in various places in the Xia Kingdom, and urgently mobilized 300,000 troops to quickly come to the aid of the capital."
"When the 300,000 elite troops of Xia Army gather outside the capital, they will not only be able to defend the capital, but also take the opportunity to recover Xiping Mansion in Xijing..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing Emperor Xia’s words, the civil and military ministers seemed to have been force-fed a heart-writing pill.
A few of them, such as the privy envoys and prime ministers, knew that although Xia Emperor Li Qianshun had mobilized troops with silver medals, no local troops had yet come to serve the king.
However, they did not dare and would not expose Emperor Xia's tactics of stabilizing people's hearts in the court.
More civil and military officials who did not know the truth had their self-confidence greatly increased and shouted:
"Your Majesty the Holy Might..."
