When Wang Qinruo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel that now was a great opportunity to send troops to attack.
Li Qingxia glanced at Wang Qinruo and said with a smile: "From what the Prime Minister said, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of sending troops?" Wang Qinruo sighed, "It's not that there is no intention of sending troops at all, it's just that there are too many treacherous ministers around the Emperor.
The emperor was bewitched and was just worried."
Li Qingxia nodded, "I heard that one of King Yan's concubines is named Chai Yonghui, and a descendant of the Chai family of your country is the brother of the Eight Wise King. I wonder if this is the case?"
Wang Qinruo nodded, "But there is such a thing!"
Li Qingxia smiled and said: "This makes me confused. Since Yanyun is the great enemy of the Song Dynasty, why did Princess Yanyun's brother be allowed to hold an important position in your court?" Wang Qinruo sighed repeatedly, looking worried.
.
Li Qingxia said: "It is understandable that your Majesty has some scruples, but the situation today is different from the past, and Yan Yun will undoubtedly lose. In fact, for us, it doesn't matter whether Song State joins or not. It would be better if Song State can join
Some, it won’t affect anything if you don’t join.” Wang Qinruo heard the other party’s words and didn’t care about the state of the Song Dynasty at all, and couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, “Well, Yan Yun is a traitor and traitor to our Song Dynasty, and it is our Song Dynasty’s responsibility to clean up the family!
"Li Qingxia smiled and glanced at Qin Hui, "It's good that the Song Dynasty is willing to take responsibility!"
Wang Qinruo said in embarrassment: "It's just that I alone may not be able to convince Your Majesty." He glanced at Li Qingxia and said, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess can go with me, I might be able to convince Your Majesty!"
Li Qingxia thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
Wang Qinruo stood up quickly, "In that case, let's go into the palace without further delay."
Soon after, in the emperor's imperial study, Wang Qinruo introduced Li Qingxia to the emperor. Li Qingxia stepped forward and nodded slightly: "The envoy from Daxia has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" The emperor looked at Li Qingxia and saw her.
Noble, generous and graceful, she also has a straightforward temperament that is not found in women from the Central Plains. She just felt her eyes light up and said with a smile: "Princess, there is no need to be polite!"
Li Qingxia raised her head and took a look at the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in front of her. She saw that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty looked weak and elegant, with dull eyes and a pale complexion. It was obviously a symptom of excessive drinking. Li Qingxia
I originally looked down on the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but now that I saw him looking like a pustule, I despised him even more.
Wang Qinruo cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom and the Daxia Kingdom are currently attacking Yanyun with their troops. Yanyun is in a disadvantageous situation. It is a great opportunity for us to go north to the Central Plains to eradicate the traitors!"
Zhao Heng frowned, "My dear, I have already mentioned this matter, and I have already decided it, but why do I still bring it up?"
Wang Qinruo said quickly: "It's really because the current situation is completely different from our original expectations. Yanyun's defeat is imminent. We, the Song Dynasty, must not miss this great opportunity!"
Li Qingxia smiled and said: "If the emperor is unwilling to send troops, that's okay. The purpose of my trip is not to ask the Song Dynasty to send troops. I was sent to the Song Dynasty on the order of my father. In fact, I just wanted to inform the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
After Yan Yun is defeated by Da Xia and Da Liao, the land of the Central Plains will be divided equally between our two families, and Da Song must not have any objections!"
Zhao Heng was taken aback and asked in disbelief: "Are your country and Daliao Kingdom already guaranteed victory?"
Li Qingxia smiled proudly, "Of course! Now Yanyun lacks food and grass, and it is difficult to mobilize among the armies. However, the only mobile main force is suppressed at Yanmen Pass, struggling to resist the Khitan attack; our army has no enemy in front.
There are many, Yinzhou is flat and not conducive to defense. It can be said that it is easy for our 300,000 elite soldiers from Daxia to capture Yinzhou. Once Yinzhou is conquered, the door of Shanxi will be wide open. At that time, won't we let our elite soldiers from Daxia run wildly?
In addition, Tubo has also sent troops, and an army of 400,000 has invaded Qinfeng Road! Now that the Three Kingdoms have joined forces to attack Yanyun, how can Yanyun be invincible?"
Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel a little excited and a little anxious, but he was still a little worried. He was already frightened by Yan Yun and it was difficult for him to make up his mind to fight with Yan Yun.
Li Qingxia saw Zhao Heng's thoughts and said: "When the time comes when our Three Kingdoms divide the Central Plains, I hope the Song Dynasty will not act rashly, otherwise our Three Kingdoms troops will inevitably turn to attack the Song Dynasty. That will not be good."
It's over!" Li Qingxia's words didn't give people the impression that they were here to urge the Song Dynasty to send troops. They were clearly the three countries who wanted to carve up the Central Plains, and they came specifically to warn the Song Dynasty and told the Song Dynasty to stay calm and not to act rashly, otherwise
You bear the consequences at your own risk.
Zhao Heng became even more anxious, but still couldn't make up his mind. Wang Qinruo said urgently: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, opportunities must not be missed before they come back. We can't stay away and miss the opportunity! Liao, Daxia, Tubo, and the Three Kingdoms Army
Attacking Yanyun, is there any reason for Yanyun to be spared? We should send troops as soon as possible to participate in the grand event!!" The words were beautiful, but he just wanted to grab a share of the pie. Zhao Gou was very moved.
Li Qingxia frowned and said: "If the Song Dynasty wants to send troops, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties!"
Zhao Heng was anxious, "What the princess said is wrong. Yan Yun is a rebellious official and traitor of our Song Dynasty. It is our duty to eradicate this scourge! In other words, I should be the one thanking you for sending troops to help me eradicate this rebellion!"
Li Qingxia smiled coldly, "Let's make it clear. The Song Dynasty wants to send troops. If we don't stop it, we can't stop it! But after Yan Yun is destroyed, how will the land be divided?" Zhao Heng and Wang Qinruo looked at each other. Wang Qinruo
Asked: "I wonder what the princess thinks?" Li Qingxia said: "The south of the Huaihe River and Henan belong to the Song Dynasty. The rest of the area will be left alone by the Song Dynasty!" Her tone was arrogant, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Zhao Heng felt something was wrong, but he was afraid of angering the other party and did not dare to raise objections. He just looked at Wang Qinruo. Wang Qinruo whispered: "Your Majesty, without the help of the Three Kingdoms, we will not be able to get back an inch of land. Besides,
Now that Henan has been recovered, I can explain it to my ancestors, so your majesty will agree to it."
Zhao Heng felt that what Wang Qinruo said was reasonable, nodded, and then said to Li Qingxia: "Just follow what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants!"
Li Qingxia was overjoyed, but she didn't show a trace of it on her face. Instead, she looked a little regretful. Seeing this, Zhao Heng hurriedly said: "The princess represents Daxia, so you can't go back on your promise!" Li Qingxia sighed helplessly,
"That's fine." He glanced at Zhao Heng, who was full of joy, and said sternly: "But your Majesty must formally issue a decree to abandon Huaibei and all the land except Henan!"
Zhao Heng nodded without hesitation: "Okay, this is no problem!" He then wrote an imperial edict, stamped it with a jade seal, read it again, and handed it over. Wang Qinruo accepted the edict and handed it to Li Qingxia.
Li Qingxia took the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read it again. When she saw that the Song Dynasty's imperial edict publicly recognized that the Central Plains of Huaibei belonged to the Three Kingdoms, she was secretly happy. She nodded, closed the imperial edict, and said to Zhao Heng: "Since your Majesty and the
Since the Song Dynasty is so sincere, we will naturally keep our promise!" Then he said: "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will leave!"
Zhao Heng said hurriedly: "It is rare for the princess to come to Bianjing. I will host a banquet for the princess tonight at Chunfeng Pavilion. I hope the princess will not postpone it!"
Li Qingxia wanted to rush back to China as soon as possible, but she felt it was inconvenient to refuse Zhao Heng's warm invitation, so she nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely be there." Zhao Heng laughed, "Okay, okay, our Bianjing scenery at night
, the princess will definitely like it!" Li Qingxia smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I'll take my leave first." Zhao Heng nodded, "Princess, go slowly." Li Qingxia left the imperial study room.
Wang Qinruo said to Zhao Heng with a face of joy: "Your Majesty, with the help of these three countries, Yang Peng is dead this time! We can finally solve this serious problem once and for all!" Zhao Heng nodded in sympathy, with excitement on his face.
Then he said harshly: "If I catch him, I will cut him into pieces as a warning to others!" Wang Qinruo nodded with deep understanding: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!" Then he reminded: "Your Majesty,
It is best to keep the Eighth Prince and others a secret about the imperial court's dispatch of troops, lest the news leak out and Yanyun's side be prepared!" The emperor frowned and nodded.
When Li Qingxia came out of the palace, a close confidant immediately came up to her, "Princess, how is the situation?" Li Qingxia smiled coldly, "With these trash in the Song Dynasty court, there is no match for this princess. She will give in in a few seconds.
They fell into a trap!" The confidants asked in surprise: "Have they agreed to send troops?" Li Qingxia nodded. The confidants were extremely excited: "In this way, Yan Yun will definitely be defeated!" Li Qingxia said: "First of all
Go back to the inn and come to the banquet tonight!" "Yes!"
That night, when the lanterns came on, Li Qingxia, dressed as a Han lady, appeared in the Royal Spring Wind Pavilion. She was immediately stunned. The concubines surrounded by flowers seemed to have lost their color. In fact, it was not that Li Qingxia was really better than the emperor.
There were so many beautiful concubines, but Li Qingxia's confident and high-spirited temperament was beyond the reach of those concubines. It was very eye-catching, and all the concubines seemed to pale in front of her.
Zhao Heng said happily: "Princess is here, please take a seat!"
Li Qingxia nodded slightly, then walked to the left seat and sat down. She glanced at the scene and saw that apart from the concubines sitting next to the emperor, only Wang Qinruo was sitting there. Zhao Heng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "
This glass of wine wishes the princess eternal youth and beauty!" Li Qingxia smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then she raised her head and drank it, looking very bold. Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.
Such a woman is so attractive! She finished the cup with a smile.
Wang Qinruo had no other skills, but no one could guess what he meant. As soon as he saw the emperor's expression, he understood what the emperor meant. He smiled and said to Li Qingxia: "If Her Royal Highness can become the noble concubine of our Song Dynasty, Daxia and
The Song Dynasty has become a land of in-laws, which is of great benefit to both parties!"
After hearing Wang Qinruo's words, Zhao Heng was immediately elated and said to himself: "Wang Qinruo is indeed my confidant. He can always understand my thoughts!" He looked at Li Qingxia to see what she meant. Li Qingxia looked cold and said to herself:
'How dare you, a loser like you, actually want to be my husband! My husband must be a hero in the world, and a person like you is not worthy of carrying my husband's shoes!' I thought in my heart, but said in my mouth
: "Qingxia does not have this blessing, Qingxia is already engaged to someone else!"
Zhao Heng was greatly disappointed, but he did not give up. He thought to himself: 'As long as Princess Qingxia falls in love with me, the rest of the matter will not be difficult to deal with!' As soon as he thought about this, he wanted to show off in front of Li Qingxia, so he said: "I have recently been
I wrote an article of seven rhymes, and asked the princess to review it!" Li Qingxia was very proficient in Chinese poetry, and when she heard this, she showed curiosity.
Zhao Heng was very excited when he saw Li Qingxia's expression, and was determined to show off his skills in front of the beautiful lady, so that the beautiful lady could admire his talent. After clearing his thoughts, he read aloud: "Wu Gorge is long in late spring, March,
The bright clouds float and the sun shines. Thunder suddenly sends thousands of peaks to rain, and the flower scent is as thick as the fragrance of a hundred flowers. The oriole turns back after crossing the water, and the swallow is wet with mud. In the picture of the flying pavilion rolling curtain, nothingness is only facing Xiaoxiang." Wang Qinruo and his concubines
Immediately he was amazed, not entirely because of flattery, but mostly because he admired Zhao Heng's talent. Zhao Heng looked at Li Qingxia proudly, and saw that Li Qingxia looked thoughtful, as if she didn't care too much, and couldn't help but
She became nervous and asked hurriedly: "Princess, do you think there is anything bad about my seven-note poem?"
Li Qingxia raised her head, smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty's seven-character poem is indeed a masterpiece..." When Zhao Heng heard this, he smiled widely. Wang Qinruo took the opportunity to flatter him and said: "Your Majesty is amazingly talented and beautiful every time."
The poems are naturally famous lines that can be passed down through the ages!"
Zhao Heng laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, you have given me a reward, you have given me a reward!"
Li Qingxia looked at Zhao Heng and thought to herself: "Such a poem shows that you don't have any ambitions, and the talent of an emperor should be something else!" When she thought of this, she couldn't help but think of another song that had been spread to Xixia,
I couldn't help but murmured: "Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, and the sword is like frost. The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River. Who can resist in twenty years? The hatred is crazy, and the sword is long.
As for me, how many loyal brothers and sisters have bought their bones and bought their bones in a foreign country. How can I sacrifice my life to protect my home and country, and endure my sighs even more speechlessly with blood and tears filling my eyes. I am willing to defend my land and reopen my borders, and the majestic China will have all directions to congratulate me."
As soon as Zhao Heng and others heard Li Qingxia reciting the song "Looking Northward", they all stopped talking. Gradually, various thoughts came to mind. Some were ashamed, some were angry, and some were worshipful. For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet.
You can almost hear the drop of a needle.
After Li Qingxia finished reading the song "Looking North to the Country", she said to Zhao Heng: "This song "Looking North to the Country" has been circulated in our country for a long time, but I don't know who the author is. Does your Majesty know?"
Zhao Heng was depressed and hemmed and hawed and couldn't explain why. If Wang Qin wanted to please the emperor, he said seriously: "This song "Looking North of Jiangshan" is the masterpiece of His Majesty the Emperor!" The emperor coughed, nodded and said, "That's right.
, it was indeed written by a widower, I didn’t expect that the princess would also hear about it!”
Li Qingxia felt funny in her heart: "These Song people like to play tricks, but they are actually stupider than pigs. Since the poem has been passed down, how could the author not have passed it on? Even if the author has not passed it down, this kind of lie is very easy to expose. Nowadays, people are pretending to be fake."
How can we replace him and step down in the future? Huh, the Song State is such a monarch and its ministers. In the future, after I occupy the Central Plains in Daxia, I can go south and seize the country of the Song State!'
These thoughts seemed time-consuming, but in fact they only flashed in Li Qingxia's mind, and then she smiled and said: "I didn't expect it to be your Majesty's masterpiece. I admire it, I admire it!" Seeing the beauty's praise, Zhao Heng couldn't help but get excited, and then he thought of this.
After all, the song "Looking Northward" is not my own work, and I can't help but worry.
In order to please Li Qingxia, Zhao Heng said: "Princess, I have already ordered the army to assemble. I believe that within three days, the army will be able to launch an attack on Jiangbei!" Li Qingxia was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She only nodded lightly.
.
Wang Qinruo said: "When Yang Peng is destroyed, please invite the princess to come to Bianliang to celebrate the victory!" Li Qingxia nodded, "When Yanyun is destroyed, I will definitely go to Bianliang to attend the banquet!" Then she raised her wine glass to the emperor.
He said: "Congratulations to your majesty on regaining the old capital!" Zhao Heng laughed loudly and picked up the wine glass. "When the time comes, I will go to the countryside to welcome the princess!" As soon as these words came out, all the concubines were filled with jealousy and jealousy.
They all thought: How on earth is that foreign woman better than me? Why does your Majesty treat her so differently?
Li Qingxia smiled slightly and drank the wine. Zhao Heng quickly drank the wine in the glass, looking at Li Qingxia with infinite longing, thinking in his heart that when the smoke and clouds were completely extinguished, he would send someone to formally propose marriage to Xixia.
An eunuch rushed up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun of the Privy Council has urgent military information and wants to see your Majesty!" Zhao Heng frowned and said displeased: "Why is Sun Jin so ignorant? If there is something wrong, he will not come back tomorrow.
Are you going to present it?" Wang Qinruo said with a smile: "I think there is good news coming from the north, so your majesty will announce him to come up." This afternoon, Wang Qinruo went to the Privy Council and explained to Sun Jin, asking him for any advice.
News about the war situation between Yanyun and Liao Kingdom and Xixia was reported immediately, so Sun Jin hurried over after receiving the urgent military report, before he even had time to take a look.
Zhao Heng also wanted to know the battle situation in the north, so he said to the eunuch: "Xuan!" The eunuch responded and ran down. After a while, he led a middle-aged minister in a loose robe and ran up. Sun Jin held a
He sealed the urgent report that had not yet been opened and bowed down to report: "Urgent military intelligence report from Shanxi!"
Wang Qinruo said with a smile: "The Yanyun army must be fleeing for their lives in a hurry!" The emperor laughed loudly, and all the concubines also laughed sweetly and agreed with Wang Qinruo's words. Li Qingxia also smiled, but she was a little nervous in her heart.
The emperor said to Sun Jin: "Read it for all of us to hear!"
Sun Jin responded, quickly broke the seal, opened it, and read: "A few days ago, the main force of Yan Yun, commanded by King Yang Peng of Yan, came out of Yanmen Pass to defeat the main force of Yeqihu City, chasing them hundreds of miles north. Yeqihu City led the remaining troops
Retreat to Hongzhou!..." Everyone was smiling at first, but when they heard the news, their smiles immediately disappeared and replaced with very frightened expressions. Sun Jin himself also looked frightened, and no one else
Expecting such news, the scene suddenly became very quiet and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Li Qingxia asked nervously: "What's the situation in northern Shaanxi?" The emperor also asked: "Can the Xixia army win?"
Sun Jin continued to read, "In addition, in the direction of northern Shaanxi, Xixia Right Wing General Li Cunxiao led his Xueshan Army to attack Changcheng Ridge." When Li Qingxia heard this, her face showed a look of joy, and then she listened to Sun Jin read again.
"However, almost at the same time, Yang Yanzhao led the main force of Yanyun in northern Shaanxi to set up an ambush at Shenduiyi, dozens of miles northwest of Yinzhou, and ambushed Li Zongdao's 300,000-strong army. Most of the Xixia army was lost and returned to Xia.
Prefecture, and then the Yanyun Army recaptured Changcheng Ridge, Li Cunxiao voluntarily gave up Changcheng Ridge and withdrew to Hongzhou!" Li Qingxia was dizzy and felt unbelievable. She really couldn't believe that her own side and the Liao Kingdom had such a huge advantage.
The situation was changed in an instant by Yan Yun!? The action of besieging Yan Yun that he carefully planned fell apart like this!? At this time, Zhao Heng had another thought in his mind: 'My dear, it's a good thing that I haven't sent out troops yet.
, otherwise we will be in big trouble! This Yan Yun army is really someone you can’t afford to offend!'
Looking at Li Qingxia, he saw her frowning and sitting there in a daze, so he comforted her: "Princess, don't worry too much. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers! If you lose this time, you will win next time!"
Li Qingxia was no longer in the mood to stay here any longer. She stood up and said to the emperor: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, so I'm leaving now!" After saying that, she left without waiting for the emperor's reply.
The emperor was a little annoyed, but he had no intention of blaming Li Qingxia. He turned to Wang Qinruo and said: "Immediately order all armies to stop gathering and return to their original positions!" Wang Qinruo nodded blankly, he had not yet reacted to this drastic change in the situation.
, feeling vaguely terrified of Yan Yun in his heart.
Li Qingxia hurriedly returned to the guest house, summoned all her confidants, frowned and said: "The Song Dynasty has just received an emergency military report, and the situation in the north seems to be bad." She raised her head and glanced at a confidant: "You should rush back to the country immediately to understand the situation.
Then report back!" The confidant responded and ran down. Li Qingxia said to the other confidants: "Pack it up, we will rush back there early tomorrow morning!" Everyone agreed together, and everyone was full of curiosity and worry, but when they saw
The princess looked stern, but she didn't dare to ask questions.
At the same time, the emperor returned to Concubine Liu's palace and couldn't help but sigh: "Yan Yun is really invincible! Hey, this time I almost did something stupid again!" Concubine Liu did not participate in the banquet just now and asked in confusion.
He said: "Your Majesty has always been wise, why do you say this?"
The emperor sat down and sighed again, "Recently, the Liao and Xixia companies attacked Yanyun. My beloved concubine must know about it, right?" Liu Guifei nodded and frowned: "I heard that Yanyun is in a disadvantageous situation!"
The emperor shook his head, "Yes at first, but after receiving an emergency military report, Yang Peng actually defeated the more than 600,000 troops of Yeqihu City at Yanmen Pass with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, annihilating most of them, and Yeqihu City was defeated.
He has led the remaining defeated troops back to Hongzhou!..." Concubine Liu was overjoyed when she heard the news, and her hanging heart finally fell. The emperor continued: "In addition, Yang Yanzhao led hundreds of thousands of Yanyun troops again.
After defeating the Xixia army in the northwest of Yinzhou, Li Zongdao has already returned to Xiazhou! The Khitans and Xixia people have all been defeated, and I am afraid that the Tubo people will not be able to get relief either! Fortunately, we have not sent troops to Hebei, otherwise it would be terrible
Got it!"
Concubine Liu frowned and said: "Those who advised your majesty to use troops against Yan Yun are all traitors and have no regard for your majesty's safety and the safety of the country!" The emperor also felt this way, nodded, waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about these boring things!
"
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
