Then, Li Xiushu spoke first with a smile, "Emperor Song."

Zhao Dongting also had a smile on his face, "Empress."

It’s really a change of things and people.

Zhao Dongting never thought that after Li Xiushu returned to Xixia, she would become the empress of Xixia, and make the national strength of Xixia stronger and stronger.

"It's been a long time."

The two of them said at the same time.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing and reached out to lead him into the hall, "Please, Empress!"

Li Xiushu brought several Yipintang worshipers and walked up to the dragon wall with Lu Xiufu and others.

In this trip, apart from these several entourages, Heliancheng led more than a thousand soldiers to accompany him, she did not bring any other civil and military ministers from the Western Xia. Why is it still unknown.

When he arrived in the hall, Li Xiushu's case table was placed next to Zhao Dongting's case table table.

When they sat down, Zhao Dongting shook his nose and seemed to vaguely smell the fragrance of flowers on Li Xiushu's body.

This woman is indeed different after becoming an empress, and she is more charming than before. No wonder her ranking has improved on last year's beauty list.

In the sharp voice of Eunuch Li, the banquet officially began.

After the initial greetings, Zhao Dongting naturally brought the topic to the point and asked: "I wonder what the Empress was going to visit the Song Dynasty?"

Li Xiushu just smiled slightly, "Emperor Song has implemented many new policies and has achieved great results. I am here to learn. I also ask Emperor Song for guidance."

The words "teach..." are rarely spoken from the emperor.

Even Zhao Dongting was a little surprised by Li Xiushu's conciseness.

He just thought, could it be that Xixia had encountered some difficulties in its development?

But he would not refuse Li Xiushu's words and nodded, "I will definitely not be reserved."

Zhao Dongting also hoped that Xixia would become stronger, because only in this way could he truly help each other with the Song Dynasty.

As for whoever the world belongs to in the end, it is not something that can be considered now.

Lee Soo-sook raised her glass, "Thank you."

Afterwards, the whole banquet could be said to be full of fun for the guests.

After the meal was over, Zhao Dongting planned to arrange for Li Xiushu to check in at the Royal Inn.

But Li Xiushu said: "I still have many things to ask Emperor Song. To avoid trouble, can I stay in the palace?"

Zhao Dongting didn't think much about it, just agreed.

Even the two girls Zhang Ru and Le Chan didn't think much about it.

Although Yunjing once said that today, perhaps only Zhao Dongting can catch Li Xiushu's eyes, this statement will not be truly taken seriously by Zhao Dongting.

As the Empress of Xixia, what would Li Xiushu be his Zhao Dongting's woman?

In the future, Xixia will not be allowed to follow the surname Zhao?

Even if Li Xiushu was willing, the ministers in Xixia would try their best to stop him.

Later, Li Xiushu was arranged to live in a certain hall in the harem.

Zhao Dongting had very few concubines and all lived in his bedroom. There were too many palaces in the palace and harem.

When Li Xiushu left, Zhao Dongting did not return to the bedroom, but went to the imperial study room.

To this day, many officials who rushed to Changsha from all over the country to report their duties have arrived.

Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue, Dong Zhen, Wang Yinglin, etc., are all ministers and officials of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting took them all to the imperial study room.

So the imperial study room, which was always deserted, seemed quite lively.

Zhao Dongting lay slanted on the dragon bed, while Wen Tianxiang and others stood with their heads down. They didn't know why Zhao Dongting asked them to come.

Zhao Dongting's eyes swept across everyone's faces and spoke astonished, "Do you already know about Emperor Gong's assassination?"

Wen Tianxiang and others were shocked when they heard this.

Because this news was blocked from Su Quandang, even they did not hear any news now. Even Wen Tianxiang was the same.

After being shocked, Wen Tianxiang exclaimed: "Is Emperor Gong assassinated?"

Zhao Dongting sighed and nodded, "The Yuan army escorted Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others returned to the court, and were assassinated a hundred miles outside Xinyang City. Emperor Gong... was assassinated and died."

All the ministers in the room changed their colors.

Emperor Gong was shocked by the assassination, but the assassination made them even more shocked.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes changed a little.

And these changes in their eyes were not beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations.

Looking at the doubtful eyes of the people in front of him, he could only sigh in his heart. People's hearts are like this, no matter who it is, they probably think it was Zhao Dongting's hand.

He gently knocked his finger on the desk table and said, "This is not what I do."

No one from Wen Tianxiang and others answered.

At this time, silence is undoubtedly the best choice for them.

Zhao Dongting seemed to have no intention of waiting for them to speak, and said, "I have sent Wang Ti's execution to Xinyang City for investigation. There will always be a day when this matter will be revealed. I asked you to come today, and I don't expect you to believe me like this. But you are all pillars of the Song Dynasty, and I am also worried that you will see me like this..."

He had a deep sincerity in his eyes, "I just hope you can give me some time to not make any decisions due to dissatisfaction before Wang Ti’s execution order comes back. Just two days ago, Deputy State Order Chen Wenlong had already proposed to me to retire and return home. If you follow your example, our Song Dynasty... development will stagnate..."

Zhao Dongting was able to say this, which was really heart-to-heart.

Looking at the Song Dynasty, except for the mentally retarded emperor Zhao Xu, who was played with and applauded by the treacherous minister Jia Sidao, who was afraid that no emperor would ask for his ministers like this.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Dongting to do this.

With his current prestige in the court, even if Zhao Xianzhen was killed by him, the Song Dynasty court would never collapse in the end.

He really didn't want to have a gap with these old ministers in this way. He watched them ask to retire and return home.

They all came from Lin'an when they were followed, and they have paid too much for the Song Dynasty over the years. Retiring sadly is not the ending they should have.

After hearing this, Wen Tianxiang and others were moved.

They were still convinced of Zhao Dongting, and although they did not believe that Zhao Xianzhen was not killed by Zhao Dongting. But they were willing to give Wang Wenfu time.

Moreover, they all still have the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.

As long as they are not completely disappointed with Zhao Dongting, even if Zhao Dongting doesn't say that, they are afraid that they will not imitate Chen Wenlong and retire.

Lu Xiufu didn't.
