Chapter 263

Tokyo, Kaifeng Prefecture.

It is almost early summer, and a heavy rain has just come to Kaifeng Prefecture. It has washed away the entire city, which seems to indicate that a refreshing era is coming, and it also allows the city to welcome guests from the West with the freshest look - Mrs. Liang, the Concubine of Xiping!

It was the Queen Mother of Xiaoliang, the Western Xia who entered the Song Dynasty to take refuge. Although the Song Dynasty was unable to conquer Xixia now, she could still take advantage of the Liang family’s wife. Just when Liang was slowing down to Jingzhao Prefecture, the imperial title of Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty was here, and the Liang family became the concubine of the Xiping Prince... In fact, it was equivalent to indirectly demoting the main trunk of Xixia to the King of Xiping of the Song Dynasty.

The wife of Liang naturally had to express her gratitude, but in fact she was also kind. Although Zhao Xu took advantage of her verbally, she actually paid a lot of benefits. Because Zhao Xu gave all the salaries of "King of Xiping Ganshun" to the Concubine Liang.

This is a lot of money!

King Xiping himself was a county prince, Prince Ya first-class. In addition, Zhao Xu also granted the title of Taiwei and the Dingnan Army Jiedu to Ganshun. The Taiwei was the highest-ranking military officer and the second-rank official, and the Dingnan Army Jiedu was awarded as an official. This matter was carefully considered to be a precedent for the division of the Jiedu, which was a violation of the family rules of the ancestors.

However, this Jiedushi Wei Ming Ganshun probably won’t admit it, it’s just a name used to pay his mother, so no one cares about it.

With the title of the prince, the rank of the Taiwei, and the position of the governor (the standard of envoy), then Mrs. Liang can receive his son's salary, salary, office money, minister's money, tea money, coupons, kitchen materials, firewood, charcoal, clothing, and other salary and subsidies, and there are always tens of thousands of dollars a year! It is much more than the cost of Mrs. Liang's empress dowager in Xixia. When she receives these money, she will definitely be very surprised.

In addition, with the title of King Xiping, the court can naturally give it to him. The Prince Xiping was rebuilt from the original Duting Xiyi. It is very spacious and worth at least several million yuan, which is probably more expensive than the entire capital of Xixia Xingqing Prefecture, and now it belongs to Mrs. Liang!

Of course, there is no shortage of one-time rewards. A lot of gold, silver, treasure, silk, silk and satin are given, worth at least 100,000 yuan, which is enough for Mrs. Liang to spend a lot of money in Kaifeng Mansion for a while.

Oh, we also have to grant officials, land and houses to members of the Liang family who followed the Liang family. Naturally, there are so many people who cannot be placed in Kaifeng Prefecture, where every inch of land is valuable. Fortunately, there are Yingtian Prefecture and Daming Prefecture, which are relatively empty, and the members of the Liang family are arranged there.

From now on, everyone is from Song Dynasty. Don’t think about fighting and killing anymore. Study hard and prepare to take the imperial examination...

Of course, although the main Gan Shun of Xixia Kingdom could not even hold any of these good things, he still had to express his gratitude seriously - everything was for his fucking. If he was a son, he would not express his gratitude, Zhao Xu might really summon Empress Dowager Xiao Liang to the palace... Where will Gan Shun's face be put at that time?

In addition to face, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was in power for 13 years in Xixia. Is there any military and political affairs she didn't know about in Xixia? Now that she has entered the Song Dynasty, Xixia is one-way transparent to the Song Dynasty. Do you still dare to fight against the Song Dynasty?

Since Xixia did not dare to move, the Song Dynasty would let go of its hands and feet to attack the Hehuang area ruled by the Yisilu family. Without the support of Xixia, it would be a matter of time before Hehuang was conquered by the Song Dynasty again.

When he was still alive today, Zhao Xu was proud to announce that he would use troops to Hehuang again! He appointed Wang Min, Wang Shan as the chief and deputy general army, crossed the Yellow River from Hezhou north to the Huangshui River and marched towards Qingtang City.

After the end of the daily life ceremony, which was attended by only the important officials, Zhao Xu went directly to Chongzheng Hall to handle government affairs. The prime ministers of the two governments attended the meeting and reported the court affairs that required the emperor's approval one by one. Among them, what surprised Zhao Xu the most was the news of the riots in Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Great Liao and Longyan Tieshan in Khan Prefecture.

In fact, two days ago, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road had reported the incident of the incident in Xijin Prefecture and Longyan Tieshan in Liaoguo. However, the news reported on Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road was very vague and it was not satisfying to watch.

Today, Prime Minister Zhang Dun sent Zhao Xu to Zhao Xu, a memorial and wax ball book to Li Zhong, and also presented the "Yanjing Night Chaos Picture" painted by Chen Youwen.

The two memorials detailed the riots in Nanjing Xijin Prefecture and Khan Prefecture. The Wax Pill Book also reported a news that was enough to surprise Zhao Xu and the ministers of the two prefectures.

The secret envoy sent by Jian Xuchen and Li Zhong, Wu Haogu, has contacted the Bohai Kingdom, who launched the Longyan Tieshan riot and the Yanjing riot, who left the Guangming Lord...

This is really a surprise!

Even a king like Zhao Xu, who has always been steady, couldn't help but cheer: "Okay! That's great! It's really God bless Emperor Song!"

It’s really God blessed if you’re so lucky.

However, the official's face looked salmony and yellow, and it didn't look like he was being blessed by God.

"By the way, is there any news about Wu Haogu?" Zhao Xu curled his smile and showed a hint of anxiety.

Wu Haogu is with the Bohai thief Guangmingjun, so he won’t encounter any unexpected happenings, right?

If the Liao people were asked to catch them, it would be troublesome! This guy knows a lot, and I don’t know if he will die at a critical moment...

Zhang Dun frowned and replied after leaving work: "There is no news yet, but before Chen Youwen left Yanjing, he did not hear that Wu Haogu or the Guangming Army were arrested and killed. I think he has escaped from danger, so your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much."

Zhao Xu nodded. At this time, there is no news, it is good news.

"The people of Bohai dared to initiate an operation in Liaoning and Nanjing Road, which shows that they were very determined to fight against Liao." Zhao Xu's tone was a little calmer, "But the four Yan families were unmoved and were willing to slaughter the righteous men for the Khitan lackeys, which is really hateful!"

According to the report of Li Zhong and Jian Xuchen, the wealthy Yanyun family led by the four Yan families mobilized more than 16,000 soldiers in Yanjing City that day, including nearly 6,000 soldiers, and the rest were archers.

In addition, to the west of Yanjing City, there are 18,000 guards controlled by the children of the wealthy Yanyun family.

In other words, the Yanyun wealthy family controls more than 34,000 armed forces!

At this time, the Khitans had only more than 3,000 troops in Yanjing City, and most of them were rich children who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name...

It is a 10-to-one advantage! It is easy for the Yanyun family to take over the Xijin Mansion, but they did not hesitate to stand by the Khitans to massacre the righteous men of the Bohai Sea.

"Your Majesty, this Yanjing-Longyan Incident is an opportunity to test the hearts of Yanyun. The people of Yanyun have long been unable to withstand the oppression of the Khitans. They will rise up if there is any slightest movement. However, Yanyun's powerful men are willing to be a barbarian and must not be regarded as a Chinese ethnic group. In the future, the Northern Expedition will not be used as an internal response." The Privy Councilor Zeng Bu reported the Ban.

He had guessed Zhao Xu's intentions and knew that he did not believe in the Yanyun family's official family - their foundation was basically the family of generals in the five dynasties of Tang Dynasty, and it was unreliable to think about it.

Zeng Buduan paused and said, "In contrast, the surviving people of the Bohai Sea are determined to restore the country. For more than a hundred years, they have been working on their own and continuing their efforts. Their ambition is admirable."

"Your Majesty, although the remnants of Bohai are of great ambitions, their strength is too weak. The Yanjing Rebellion was quelled in just half a day, and it did not even mobilize the Khitan soldiers. It was easily suppressed by the powerful clans in Yanjing City. The strength of Yanyun's rich clan and the weak of the remnants of Bohai are evident." Since Zeng Bu praised the Bohai people, Cai Jing, who was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, naturally had to put forward different opinions, otherwise how could he show that he was more capable than Zeng Bu?

However, Cai Jing is right. The Bohai remnants are determined to fight against Liao, but fighting against the Five Scoundrels is also true, and they can't beat the Han Han tyrants in Yanyun at all.

Cai Jing’s words were reasonable, and Zeng Bu was right, and Zhao Xu turned to look at Zhang Dun, who seemed to be confident.

Zhang Dun stood up from Wuzi, "Bohai is strong in ambition and Youzhou is strong in a strong army. Both are not the blessing of the Khitan, and they are also God bless our emperor. Although Bohai is the dead enemy of the Khitan, it is as powerful as the three households of Chu, how could Fangzhen in Youzhou be willing to be a Khitan lackey? According to the old minister, both can be used by me. As long as the method is used, the pacification of Liao and Yan can be achieved twice the result with half the effort."

Zeng Bu shook his head: "But Yanyun's powerful men had developed the former Youzhou Town of Tang, and had unique ambitions. Now he has a strong army. If he is allowed to grow stronger, he may suffer the disaster of Yuyang drums in the future!"

After saying this, Zeng Bu glanced at Zhang Dun with the corner of his eyes, and he was vaguely proud. Although Zhang Dun was very old, he was still aggressive in his work and political affairs, as if he didn't know the principle of maintaining his country at all.

Isn’t the disaster of the vassal states most afraid of in the Song Dynasty? The foundation of the Yanyun Heroes is the vassal states of Youzhou!

They already have strong soldiers in the Liao Kingdom to dominate the territory. If they return to the Song Dynasty, they would not have divided the fourteen states of Yanyun (two states were recovered by Zhou Shizu)? Maybe they will be more and more eager to ask about the importance of the tripod!

Zeng Bu's words immediately made the cheerful atmosphere in Chongzheng Hall disappear without a trace.

The fourteen prefectures of Yanyun have not been recovered yet, so why are the Youzhou vassal states emerging? This is not allowed!
