Chapter 141 Black Clothes Food

Dali, Tubo, Uighurs... Li Zhang guessed many large and small forces around him, but Zhao Zhen shook his head and denied it, which made him feel strange.

If the Liao Kingdom wants to marry someone else, it must be a force that can bring benefits to them. Of course, Li Zhang also thought about Dangxiang, because Dangxiang had married the Liao Kingdom in history, but now Dangxiang is only a small force that is dependent on the Song Dynasty. There is no need for the Liao Kingdom to win over them by means of marriage, and the Liao Kingdom does not need to go through the land of the Song Dynasty to go to Dangxiang.

Seeing that Li Zhang could not guess, Zhao Zhen finally laughed and said, "I know cousin, you can't guess. This time, the Liao Kingdom was actually going to marry the distant Dashi. The team they married had to pass through our Song Dynasty, and then cross the Western Regions along the previous Silk Road, and finally reach Dashi."

"Dashi?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard this. He did not expect that the Liao Kingdom would actually marry Dashi. The so-called Dashi was actually the Arab Empire. However, the four major caliphs and Umayyad eras have passed, and now is the Abbasid era. Because the Abbasid dynasty is still black, most of the clothes and flags are mainly black, it is called the Black-clothed Dashi by the Central Plains dynasty.

"Yes, when I first heard this news, I wondered if the Liao Kingdom was crazy and actually married a woman so far away." Zhao Zhen also smiled again at this time. Although the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom formed an alliance, daily ridicule were the favorite things for the people of the two countries, and even the prince Zhao Zhen was no exception.

"As far as I know, the Dashi is not very peaceful now. The Dashi that once defeated the Tang army in Henglus has long been gone. Now the Dashi has become a lot of forces, fighting all day long, and the Caliph has become a puppet. Who is the Liao Kingdom planning to marry the princess?" Li Zhang said in confusion at this time. Africa is very close to the Middle East, and North Africa is even the territory of the Arab Empire in the past, so he still has some understanding of the history of the Middle East.

"I don't know either, but the Liao Kingdom is so generous with marrying a princess. Although this princess is not a real princess, but just a royal family girl, she will definitely not marry the king of a small country casually." Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, if it weren't for Li Zhang's introduction, he wouldn't know the situation on Dashi.

"Interesting, when will the Liao Dynasty send off the brides to Kaifeng?" Li Zhang was also very interested in the marriage of Liao Dynasty. If the Liao Dynasty had married Tubo and Dali countries, the Song Dynasty would have some concerns, and even suspected that the Liao Dynasty might use the means of marriage to win over the surrounding countries. However, now they are actually marrying the distant Dashi, which does not pose any threat to the Song Dynasty, so he and Zhao Zhen would discuss this matter so easily.

"I heard from the person who reported that it was probably the next two days. It was interesting to say that the Liao Kingdom married a daughter and prepared a lot of dowry, but this time I came to our Song Dynasty and said that it was passing by. In fact, the real reason was that I wanted to buy something for dowry. After all, there were too few things that could be bought in the Liao Kingdom." Zhao Zhen did not give up any opportunity to mock the Liao Kingdom, and then smiled again.

"Tomorrow is ten days. If they enter the city tomorrow, I would like to see what the Khitan delegation looks like?" Li Zhang laughed again when he heard this.

In any aspect, the Liao Kingdom is the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty, and of course there are the soon-to-be-rise Dangxiang people. Li Yuanhao is not yet an adult. Li Yuanhao's father Li Deming just moved his power to Xingzhou this year, which is later Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia. He should not have yet to gain a foothold. If he can find an opportunity, he can kill the Dangxiang people in the cradle!

However, Li Zhang soon sighed again, because he found that he had traveled a little late. Li Yuanhao was indeed not a grown-up, but he was younger than Li Yuanhao. When he and Zhao Zhen grew up, the Dangxiang people probably had a firm foothold in Xingzhou. Maybe Li Yuanhao would be in power by then. As far as he knew, Li Yuanhao was ambitious at a young age. It was under his push that Dangxiang took risks to attack the Song Dynasty several times, but even made him bet on the right fate of the country, which also led to the rise of Xixia.

"Cousin! Cousin! What are you thinking?" Just as Li Zhang was thinking, he was suddenly pushed by Zhao Zhen to his shoulder, which made him wake up, and then asked with a confused look on his face, "What's the matter?"

"It seems you didn't hear what I said just now!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show a resentful expression when he saw this, and then he repeated his words, "I just asked my cousin, do you have any way to get the eldest lady to agree to let me leave the palace? I also want to see the Liao Kingdom delegation enter the city?"

"After entering the city, the Liao delegation will definitely go to the palace to see His Majesty. Wouldn't you see it then? Why run out to see it again?" Li Zhang had not turned his mind from Xixia at this time, and did not understand Zhao Zhen's implication.

"Cousin, why don't you understand? I want to go out to the palace to see it, especially to go to the restaurant we opened. As for seeing the Liao delegation, it's just a by the way!" Zhao Zhen also said with a resentful look on his face at this time.

Since Liu E took him from Daxiangguo Temple to Li Zhang's shop last time, he has never left the palace again. Speaking of which, in his ten years of life, he has only been out of the palace. Either Zhao Zhen or Liu E took him, and there are a bunch of people around him every time, and there is no freedom at all.

Li Zhang reacted when he heard this, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "Your request is too difficult. To put it bluntly, you are the only prince of our Song Dynasty. If something happens, the foundation of the Song Dynasty will be shaken. Therefore, for your safety, it is also necessary to not leave the palace. Unless the queen nods personally, no one dares to take this responsibility, and they cannot even mention it."

"Cousin, please think of a solution for me. I'm almost suffocating when I stay in the palace every day!" Zhao Zhen held Li Zhang's arm and begged again. He knew that Li Zhang had the most ideas, and Li Zhang might not be able to do what others could not do.

"It's useless to ask me, it's simply a tough guy!" Li Zhang smiled bitterly at this time. Although he had more knowledge than ancient people, his IQ may not be higher than that of ancient people, and not to mention that Zhao Zhen had such a great responsibility to leave the palace, he could not afford it if something happened.

"Is there really no way?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when he heard this. He really envied Li Zhang. He could go anywhere, but he even turned out to be a luxury when he left the palace.
