"Go to Xingqing Mansion?"

Yelu Hongji frowned and said, "As, aren't you afraid that Liang will take risks? In the past, the late emperor attacked Xia twice, but he couldn't win!"

"I'm not afraid!" Yelu Asi touched his white beard and smiled, "Because Liang's army had not won the victory for thirteen years, he also lost Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain. The people in the country were resentful and people were floating. The Liang family's authority was shaky and had to surrender to Song to protect themselves. However, seven or eight out of ten of the powerful and powerful people in the country were hidden by the Liang family, and they didn't know that they had secretly communicated with the Song Dynasty, otherwise how could our dynasty know nothing?

Therefore, our army arrived to support Xia, and the Liang family could not have launched a large army to fight against each other. It was not enough to rely solely on a few of the Liang family's close friends to win. If they failed, they would expose their plans to surrender to the Song Dynasty. The powerful and powerful party of the Xia State would definitely attack together, and by then the Liang family would die without a place to bury them.

Therefore, the old minister thought that the Liang family would not dare to take the lives of the entire clan to take risks."

"Will you sit and wait for death if you don't take risks?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

Yelu Asi smiled and said, "The old minister thought that Liang would not take risks, nor would he sit and wait for death, but would run to Song!"

"Flying out to join the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Yanxi was stunned, "Will Xia State become the Dingnan Army of Song State?"

"The Liang family can join the Song Dynasty, but the Xia Kingdom will not join the Song Dynasty." Yelu Asi smiled, "Because the Xia Kingdom has been independent for decades, the powerful and powerful people in the middle of the country have long been used to being free. How could they be willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty until they were over? Now the Liang family is the only one who ends up, not the Xia Kingdom."

Yelu Yanxi asked again: "Will the Liang clan hijack the king of the country Qian to return to the Song Dynasty?"

Yelu Asi smiled: "So what if it is kidnapped? Most of the Weiming clan can be the king of the country. If she robs Qianshun, Your Majesty can set up another one."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "It's so good! As long as the Xia Kingdom exists, I don't care who will be the king of the country!

Asi, I will order you to lead the palace to 20,000 troops and 10,000 troops to save Xia State! I will give you another secret decree to poison Liang and assist Qianshun in power.

In addition, you can send someone to send the "Liang Family Photos" sent by the State of Song to Xingqing Prefecture first. Then tell Liang if she is willing to leave by herself and leave Qianshun, I will be betrothed with the princess. At that time, she can enjoy the glory in Kaifeng Prefecture, and her son is still the king of Xia State, and my Daliao will be the same as the father-in-law and son-in-law as Xia State."

The old emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty and Yelu Asi are really a good pair of monarchs and ministers. Those who are ministers will be mixed with each other, and those who are emperors like to mix with each other. The monarchs and ministers actually discussed a solution that will satisfy both the Great Liao, Western Xia and Song dynasties.

Yelu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't want to fight with the State of Song, but he didn't know how to attack Yanmen Pass. He asked: "Grandpa Emperor, how should the Song Dynasty respond?"

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "It's easy to deal with. Didn't Zhao Xu want Empress Dowager Xiao Liang? Isn't it okay if I agree? I'm still quite handsome when I see the portrait of Empress Dowager Xiao Liang. If Zhao Xu wants to take Empress Dowager Xiao Liang as his concubine, I can be a matchmaker... In this way, Zhao Xu will be the stepfather of the Lord Qian Shun of Xia Kingdom. Mr. Song Xia should be able to live in peace, right?"

Can you be satisfied?

The Song Dynasty officials flirted with the Empress Dowager of Xixia and became the stepfather of Qianshun, the ruler of Xixia. Qianshun married the princess of Liao and became the son-in-law of the Emperor of Liao.

In this way... the Emperor of Liao and the Song Dynasty officials are in-laws!

It’s really a great national harmony!

...

"Hou...stepfather?"

When Zhao Xu found out that he was very likely to be a father, it was already the fifth day of the second month of the Yuanfu year.

After the morning court that day, Zhao Xu learned that the Liao envoy was asking for a visit, saying that he had just received the decree of the Liao lord. So Zhao Xu met with the Liao envoy in Chongzheng Hall, and accompanied him to the Prime Minister Zhang Dun, Privy Councilor Zeng Bu and Privy Councilor both received the decree of Cai Jing.

Originally, the monarch and ministers did not expect things to go so smoothly. They imagined that the Liao master Yelu Hongji was likely to make a deterrent move and even sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass. Therefore, in the first month, Zhao Xu secretly drew 30,000 elite troops from the Western Army to assist Hedong Road. He also secretly ordered the imperial guards in the east, west and Hedong Road to prepare for war.

Today, the Liao envoy's notice in Chongzheng Hall surprised several monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji actually wanted to marry Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia to Zhao Xu and let Zhao Xu be Xia Junshun's stepfather... There is no precedent in the diplomacy between the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty. Didn't Shi Jingtang recognize the Khitan father? But recognizing the father does not mean sending his mother to fuck him!

I really don’t know how Yelu Hongji came up with this idea? That guy Li Yuanhao must know that his empress dowager from Dabai Gaoguo (Xixia) is going to be sent to the Song Dynasty officials for fun, and I wonder if he will be angry and liven up?

Xiao Haogu, who had a big golden crown on his head, glanced at the stunned monarch and ministers in the hall, and was also a little amused and crying, but the mission had to be completed. He said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I, the Emperor of the Great Liao, have always hoped that the Three Kingdoms could live in harmony, but the Empress Dowager Liang was fighting and domineering, and has been provoking the Song Dynasty for many years. Now, I can only ask the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to personally discipline her..."

How to discipline?

Zhao Xu thought to himself: Can't he even hang up and beat him?

Xiao Haogu sighed softly and said, "My 100,000 palace soldiers from the Great Liao Dynasty are now on their way to Xingqing Prefecture. I think the Queen Mother of the Liang family of Xia State will soon tie him to Kaifeng Prefecture to apologize... If Your Majesty thinks her appearance is still eye-catching, please include her in the harem. In this way, the Great Liao Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty and the Xia State will be in-laws. We will definitely be able to live in peace in the future."

It seems...it makes some sense!

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dun. The old man was trying hard to stop him from laughing. He looked at Zeng Bu again, and he was surprised with his mouth open. Cai Jing had already covered his mouth with his big sleeves, and it seemed that he could not help it.

However, although this matter is ridiculous, it is also very satisfying. The Song Dynasty and Xixia have been in war for so many years, and they suffer more losses and less when they take advantage of them. This time they really took advantage of them!

Even if Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia was not included in the harem and kept her in Kaifeng Prefecture as a hostage, Xixia would be able to obey the Song Dynasty for a long time in the future.

With the Western Xia obedience, it was much easier for the Song Dynasty to recover and consolidate the Hehuang area. With the Hehuang area, the Song Dynasty was able to establish contact with the Huangtou Huihe (the remaining tribe of the Ganzhou Huihe), thereby obtaining good horses from the Western Regions.

"Zhang Qing, Zeng Qing, Cai Qing," Zhao Xu, who had always been serious, could not hide the smile on his face after watching the two Liao envoys leave Chongzheng Hall, and asked with a smile, "But has it been a great victory?"

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "It's true that he has won a great victory. Just wait for the Liang family to enter the court, and the Western thieves will no longer be a problem for our dynasty."

Zeng Bu also said: "The Western thieves have been suffering for decades, and today they are finally pacified by Your Majesty. I congratulate you for Your Majesty and the great Song Dynasty."

Cai Jingze said: "The Liang family was in charge of the Xia Kingdom for the 13th year, and there were many people in their hearts. If Your Majesty could treat him with courtesy and gradually gain his heart, he would make changes within the Western thieves in the future, and then he would be able to calm down."

Zhao Xu nodded proudly and said with a smile: "This time, Zhang Qing and Cai Qing have made great contributions to Liaoxia. Wu Haogu has also made great contributions and should be rewarded. The other ministers who have meritorious will also be rewarded according to their meritoriousness. The two governments should take out the list of meritorious ministers and the method of commendation as soon as possible. Those who should be transferred will be transferred to officials, those who should be awarded will be awarded the title, and those who should be given the money will be given more money!"

...

At this time, Wu Haogu didn't know that his "Photo of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" had turned into huge butterfly wings, and it was very likely that Xia Zhuganshun would become the son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty...

However, he was not idle during this period. After the short New Year's Day holiday, Wu Haogu received a non-money painting task to recommend the Empress Dowager to draw a family portrait, and it was also an oil painting!

The old lady's requirements are really not low. She not only needs Empress Dowager Xiang himself, but also paints all the living children and concubines of Emperor Shenzong. There are ten people including Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu (biological mother of Zhezong), official Zhao Xu, King Shen Zhao Qi, King Duan Zhao Ji, King Yan Zhao Ya, King Jian Zhao Si, King Yue Zhao Wei, Princess Kang Guo, and German princess.

Of course, it is not easy to draw a large oil painting with ten characters together. It is difficult for Wu Haogu to complete it alone in a short period of time, so he simply found Mi Youren and Zhao Ji, and the three of them came to draw together.

First, Wu Haogu painted the pencil sketch of Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu, Zhao Xu, and King Duan Zhao Ji from the official family. Then Mi Youren painted the pencil sketch of King Shen, King Yan, King Jian and King Yue, while Zhao Ji painted the two princesses of Kangguo and Germany.

Then, Wu Haogu first drew a powder book (pencil drawing) in the Duan Wang Mansion, determined the layout of the oil painting and everyone's posture and clothing, and finally painted the oil painting on an oversized piece of linseed cloth.

The three of them also worked together. Zhao Ji was responsible for making drafts on oil paintings with carbon strips, Mi Youren was responsible for mixing oil paintings, and Wu Haogu was responsible for smearing oil paintings. Of course, Zhao Ji and Mi Youren's work was carried out under the guidance of Wu Haogu. In fact, Wu Haogu was teaching Zhao Ji and Mi Youren's oil painting skills... and at the same time, it was also enhancing the friendship between him and Duan Wang Zhao Ji.

Painting is priceless, friendship is priceless!

While teaching oil painting skills and completing the "Family Portrait of the Queen Mother Xiang" together, Wu Haogu did not forget the editing of the "university textbook" and the renovation of Christie's Hall and the Painting Immortal View.

The drawings of the guild hall and the Huaxian Temple were completed in early February and construction could be started. The editing of the "university textbook" has also made some progress, and the illustrations of "Mathematics" and "Creation of the Factors" were all completed at the end of the first lunar month.

In addition, Christie's held its second singing and sale on the 28th of the first lunar month, and a total of 285,000 calligraphy, paintings and antiques worth 285,000 were sold! It also includes a painting by Wu Haogu, "The Courtesan Picture".
Chapter completed!
