In a mysterious house in Chang'an City, a long-bearded man in military uniform and a felt hat was leaning under a pavilion, holding a wine bottle and filling his mouth.
"Your Majesty!"
"Don't drink!"
"Stop drinking!"
"I heard that Emperor Xu Ming will come to see you soon!"
At this time, I heard a reminder from a man in civilian clothes next to me.
"Then Xu Xian is here as soon as he comes, what's the fuss about!"
"This time it's asking for something from me, do you understand?"
"Understand?"
This long-bearded man is Li Qianyun, the king of northern Xixia.
"But...but!"
"But that Xu Xian is the emperor of their Ming Dynasty after all!"
"My lord, I'm afraid it would be bad for the Ming Emperor to see them like this. It's not good!"
The common man continued to persuade.
"What's wrong?"
"Even the two former emperors of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Dan and Wanyan Liang, were respectful to me when they met me. Xu Xian is just a leader of a separatist regime that has not yet been recognized by our Great Western Xia Kingdom. How can he be compared to those emperors of the Jin Kingdom? ?”
Li Qianyun looked arrogant.
"how?"
"I heard that the King of Northern Xixia is here!"
"Why is there no trace of the King of the North?"
Suddenly, Xu Xian's familiar voice came from not far away.
"His Majesty!"
"The King of the North is waiting for you, Your Majesty, over there!"
Then another voice came.
"Yeah?"
"I looked around, but there was no sign of the King of Northern Xixia?"
"Do you think it's that drunk guy over there who's still drinking?"
"The dignified king of the Northern Land of Xixia can't be like a barbarian and so ignorant of etiquette, right?"
Xu Xian deliberately amplified his voice.
"Who says that this king is a drunkard and a barbarian?"
"who is it?"
"Who's talking?"
After Li Qianyun heard this, he stood up angrily.
"That's what I said!"
"What's wrong?"
"I thought who was so bold and dared to run wild in our Ming Dynasty?"
"Could it be that you are Li Qianyun, the king of Northern Xixia?"
Xu Xian was full of momentum at this time.
"This king is none other than Li Qianyun!"
"You...as the master of Xu Ming, your attitude is so quick and bad. How dare you look down on me?"
"Is it possible that you don't want horses anymore?"
Li Qianyun showed an arrogant attitude again.
"Don't you know who is looking down on whom?"
"You sold horses to our Ming Dynasty, and we paid you money to Xixia. This is a fair transaction between us!"
"Please make it clear that the horses were not given to our Ming Dynasty by you, Xixia, so I don't want you, the so-called King of the North, to come to me and talk drunkenly in front of me with this attitude!"
Xu Xian's momentum did not drop at all.
"good!"
"so be it!"
"From now on, our Xixia horse trade with you, Xu Ming, will end here!"
Li Qianyun was so angry that he wanted to leave.
"how?"
"I just arrived in Chang'an and heard that you, King of the North, are waiting for me here, so I came to see you sincerely. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and rude!"
"It seems that you, Xixia, are really a barbarian and rude country!"
The more Xu Xian talked, the angrier he became.
"snort!"
"We in Daxia are originally barbarians, what happened?"
"Are you still Song Ting's traitor?"
"What qualifications does a rebel leader have to accuse our country of Great Xia?"
Li Qianyun responded.
"Ha ha!"
"Rebel?"
"Li Yuanhao, the founding king of Xixia, didn't he swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty before the founding of the country? Didn't he also betray the Song Dynasty before establishing the country?"
"Aren't you the rebels of Song Ting?"
Xu Xian immediately refuted it.
"What you said is really ridiculous...ridiculous!"
"Our Xixia was recognized by the Song, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms. How can it be like what you Xu Ming said, and it is still unfair and unfair!"
Li Qianyun was obviously not drunk, and his mind was still very clear.
"You said our name is unfair, but you still know that our name is Xu Ming?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
"What a big joke?"
"Ha ha…!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Xian said and laughed together with everyone around him.
"You Central Plains people are really messy!"
"This king comes here hoping to renegotiate the price of the war horse with you!"
After Li Qianyun saw that he was being unreasonable, he changed the topic.
"You want to renegotiate the price of the war horse?"
"Is it because you dislike the price our Daming offers you?"
"In order to buy your Xixia war horses, our Ming Dynasty paid a much higher price than the Jin people. We are still not satisfied with this price!"
Lu You couldn't help but spoke.
"After all, war horses are very scarce now, and our Daxia Kingdom has been getting less and less from the Western Regions. It takes too long to train war horses that can fight!"
"So if you are not willing to give more gold and silver, Daxia will not be able to supply you with war horses in the future!"
Li Qianyun looked threatening.
"snort…!"
"Aren't you being too open-minded like a lion?"
"as far as I know!"
"Your Xixia's own war horse breeding has never increased or decreased in the past two years, and almost all the horses from the Western Regions have been cut off by you Xixia!"
"If you Xixia feel that there are fewer horses from the Western Regions, you can leave the horse trade with the Western Regions to our Ming Dynasty to take care of it for you!"
"I wonder what the prince thinks?"
Of course, Lu You already knew the details.
"Leave it to you to take care of it?"
“What a beautiful thought!”
"Anyway, if you are unwilling to pay more, then you will never want to buy our Daxia Kingdom's war horses again!"
Li Qianyun still looked threatening.
"Do you think you are the only one in Xixia who has war horses for sale?"
"I tell you!"
"Our Majesty has sent people to contact the Kingdom of Jin, Mongolia, Tubo and Dali!"
"They have all agreed to sell us Ming Dynasty war horses!"
"So if you Xixia don't sell our war horses, someone else will sell them to us!"
Lu You was not used to Li Qianyun at all.
"snort…!"
"You have now occupied so much land in the Jin Kingdom. Will the Jin Kingdom sell you war horses?"
"The Kingdom of Jin will never sell your war horses, nor will it allow the Mongolian war horses to go south to you!"
"Stop fooling me here!"
Li Qianyun looked unbelieving.
"Ha ha!"
"That's just because you don't know the current situation in our Central Plains!"
"Our Majesty has personally visited Daming Mansion before and reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Jin. The content of the agreement is that the Kingdom of Jin will provide war horses to our Ming Dynasty. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to go to the Kingdom of Jin to find out!"
"The Kingdom of Jin is now counting on us and Song Ting to lose both sides. Isn't it reasonable for them to provide us with Ming Dynasty war horses?"
"Since the Jin Kingdom is willing to give us war horses, do you think the Jin Kingdom will stop us from buying Mongolian war horses?"
Lu You retorted.
At this time, Xu Xian and Tu Dan Hexi quietly left the negotiation place and came to the Daming Palace, which was once the most prosperous palace in Chang'an City. After all, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was not in a position to interfere in the negotiations.
It's over.
Although a new temporary temple had been built in the ruins at this time, there were still a pile of ruins and broken walls around it.
"On September 8 next year, my flowers will bloom and hundreds of flowers will bloom!"
"I didn't expect that after Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he burned all the palaces of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Daming Palace. It's really embarrassing!"
Xu Xian talked to himself.
"yes!"
"The Daming Palace was such a prosperous place back then. I didn't expect that it would be completely destroyed after the three disasters of Huang Chao, Li Maozhen, and Zhu Wen!"
"If Your Majesty is determined to re-run Chang'an and rebuild the Daming Palace, it will not be difficult!"
Tu Dan Hexi immediately said from the side.
"Rebuild the Daming Palace?"
"How much money will this cost?"
"Instead of wasting a lot of money to rebuild the Ming Palace, I might as well use this money as military pay, reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service in battle, help the people resume production, and strengthen the foundation of our Ming Dynasty!"
"Alas...but this is not a day's work!"
Xu Xian has reached this point, and of course he understands that none of this is easy.
