Chapter 248 The Game Between the Three Kingdoms
Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Fu.
Sun Fu raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his eyes, and showed a 45-degree smile on his lips, like a dragon king who was about to return.
"Everyone! What qualifications do you have to send troops south!" Sun Fu suddenly said loudly and forcefully.
As soon as he said these words, everyone around him became quiet and stared at him angrily.
Weiming Anhui said sonorously and forcefully: "I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Daxia!"
Sun Fu laughed and said, "Do you have the reputation of being a teacher?"
"You, the Song Dynasty, sent troops to our border first. We are protecting our territory!"
Sun Fu said: "Then let me ask you, have we formed an alliance before?"
Everyone said: "It is true that there is an alliance..."
"Since there is an alliance between Song and Xia, and we, the Song Dynasty, have a big feud with the Kingdom of Jin, why did Lord Xia suddenly abandon the Song-Xia alliance and form an alliance with Jin?" Sun Fu was full of momentum and spoke quickly. He stared at Li Qianshun and asked, "Could it be that Master Xia is the kind of person who has no faith?"
As soon as he said this, the ministers in the Xixia court immediately jumped to their feet, and the generals on the side couldn't help it.
Countless pairs of eyes pierced Sun Fu like swords.
But Sun Fu didn't stop talking and continued: "If Lord Xia is a treacherous person, how can he convince his subordinates?"
Completely ignoring the murderous looks around him, Sun Fu said: "Master Xia doesn't really think that they have no idea about your behavior, right?"
Li Qianshun was shocked. Sun Fu mentioned what he was most afraid of.
As a leader, the most important thing is to establish an image of clear rewards and punishments, and do what you say you will do.
Otherwise, who will believe your words in the future?
How can a country be governed if there is no trust between the ruler and his ministers?
Li Qianshun was a relatively accomplished monarch in the history of Xixia. This kind of person paid great attention to credibility.
The reason why he married the Princess of Jin was actually to balance the situation.
Relying on the Song Dynasty, Brother Richard accumulated a large amount of wealth and political prestige in a short period of time, and also held considerable military power. Weiming Anhui was suppressed and beaten.
Marrying the princess of the Kingdom of Jin is not only for the balance of the Three Kingdoms, but also for the balance of the court.
Weiming Anhui said angrily: "Song envoy, you dare to sow discord between our monarch and his ministers. Come, drag this man down and behead him, and attack the Song Dynasty flag for my army!"
"slow!"
The speaker was Brother Richard. He looked at Weiming Anhui and said, "Is it because the Prime Minister is so impatient to break with the Song Dynasty because he wants to surrender to the Jin Kingdom?"
"He is instigating the relationship between the monarch and his ministers within Daxia!"
Brother Richard said: "I think the one who instigated the relationship is your name Anhui. Your Majesty is a wise man. He established mutual trade with the Song Dynasty, which made the government's finances more prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. But you, your name Anhui, encouraged His Majesty to marry the princess of the Kingdom of Jin. , causing His Majesty to bear the reputation of treachery, so that suspicion of Your Majesty arose in the hearts of all the princes in the court!"
Weiming Anhui was slightly startled, why was this hat suddenly placed on her head?
Seeing this, Sun Fu immediately intervened in the topic and said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are planning to expand the trade between the two sides, and our kind emperor, His Majesty the Shengde Emperor, has already begun to increase the mutual trade between the two sides."
As he spoke, Mr. Sun took out an exquisite box, which was exactly the soap sold by Wang Zonglio's "Qingyu Pavilion".
He said: "This thing is called soap. In the Song Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the nobles loved it. Your Majesty wanted to trade it with each other, but you all betrayed your trust!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Sun Fu's hands, but they didn't believe what Sun Fu said.
Wei Ming Anhui still wanted to complain, but Li Qianshun finally spoke: "Song Envoy, what you said makes sense. I have violated the agreement between the two countries."
The expressions of the surrounding ministers suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, he..."
However, Li Qianshun interrupted everyone and said: "Everyone, we, Daxia, are also a country of etiquette. Since I came to the throne, I have been fortunate to have the assistance of all my good ministers, so that the world has long-term peace and stability. You are loyal to me, and I have no doubt about your sincerity. , this matter is due to me, Meng Lang, and it is a joke to all of you."
All the ministers immediately came out and said: "I don't dare. Your Majesty trusts me. I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty."
This also includes Brother Richard.
Li Qianshun was a monarch who was also very capable. He succeeded to the throne at the age of three. At that time, the Queen Mother and her relatives were in dictatorship.
It was Li Qianshun who, with his superb political wisdom, killed his relatives and promoted a group of accomplished ministers. He also vigorously promoted "Sinicized governance" and played both sides of the Liao and Song Dynasties.
Later, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and it used diplomatic means to show goodwill to the Jin Kingdom.
He can be regarded as the master of ZTE.
Li Qianshun said: "Envoy of the Song Dynasty, please express my apology to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty on my behalf. I will renegotiate the marriage with the Jin Kingdom."
Sun Fu said: "Master Xia is benevolent!"
After Sun Fu retreated, he immediately wrote a memorial to Zhao Ning.
In fact, Zhao Ning does not expect to destroy the Jinxia marriage.
It is a foregone conclusion that Li Qianshun will marry the princess of Jin Kingdom.
But Zhao Ning's purpose was to make Li Qianshun's marriage less smooth.
To put it simply, it was disgusting with the Jin Kingdom, which caused some people in the Jin Kingdom's court to have a grudge against Xixia, and deepened the rift between the two countries.
Li Qianshun actually took the opportunity to complain to the Kingdom of Jin, saying that he was under great pressure. He did not really not want to marry the princess of the Kingdom of Jin, but he also wanted to bargain with the Kingdom of Jin based on the current situation.
At the same time, it also made his ministers think that he was not a capricious person and was forced to do nothing.
December 22, Tokyo, Imperial Palace.
Zhao Ning's desk was piled with memorials, all of which were sent from Huaixi.
It is a memorial about the Ministry of Household Affairs' inspection of land and taxes, and the Provincial Yuan's anti-corruption campaign.
Don't get me wrong, it is not a memorial written by officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Su Provincial Academy, but by officials from Huaixi.
The targets of impeachment are the Ministry of Revenue and the Provincial Yuan.
The reason for impeachment was that these former officials sent by the imperial court had acted arrogantly in the local area and aroused public anger.
When Jin Wushu went south, various roads around Gyeonggi Road took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the New Deal. Zhao Ning beheaded six officials in front of the palace and distributed dozens of officials. After this period, It has spread everywhere.
The subsequent fermentation finally came out.
The current memorial in Huaixi explains a lot, and also illustrates the intensity of the struggle in Huaixi at this time.
After Zhao Ning had read these memorials, he put them aside and did not deal with them for the time being.
Now Zhao Ning still has a lot of important things on his hands that he has not yet dealt with.
For example, there were several war criminals in the Third Song-Jin War.
Xigong who caused the collapse of the army in the Battle of Chang'an, Liu Guangshi who escaped privately in the Battle of Xingzhou, and Kong Yanzhou, the defender of Fucheng on the East Road of Hebei captured by Yue Fei.
They are all in detention and have not been dealt with yet.
Why it has not been dealt with has a lot to do with the previous current situation and the internal military and political structure of the Song Dynasty.
It can only be said that if Song and Jin really ceased war, it would be much easier to deal with these matters.
Of course, the most important thing right now is not to execute Xigong and the others immediately, but to start planning for another matter.
What's up?
Expand the newspaper's presence in major state capitals north of the Yellow River.
The role of newspapers is becoming more and more obvious now, and it is crucial to guide and control public opinion.
Especially as the New Deal moves beyond the Gyeonggi Road and expands military and political reforms, the control of public opinion becomes even more important.
