Zhao Yun came to the garden with little interest and asked someone to bring him a fishing rod to relieve his boredom by fishing.
"The internal strife in the Sansi Yamen is so serious, why didn't I notice it before?"
Zhao Yun thought of the scene of Zhang Xuan and Li Shi fighting each other, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. At the same time, he once again deeply realized the magic of power. This magic is so dehumanizing that it makes people participate in life-and-death struggles regardless of the consequences.
.
"Your Majesty, Li Meiren would like to see you."
At this time, Gao Shi stepped forward and reported to Zhao Yun that Princess Li Xuan of Xixia requested an audience.
Zhao Yun nodded, "Xuan."
After a moment of pause, Zhao Yun added: "In the future, if a few beauties want to come to see me, there is no need to send a message, just let them in."
Zhao Yun and the four beauties can be said to be husband and wife, but the wife has to communicate with her husband if she wants to see her. Although this is a palace rule, Zhao Yun feels that it will make the relationship between husband and wife difficult.
Zhao Yun didn't like this feeling when the relationship was unfamiliar, the couple didn't behave like husband and wife, and the monarch and his subjects didn't behave like monarchs and subjects.
Gao Shi nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Gao Shi walked away and went to personally welcome Li Xuan to the garden.
"Li Meiren, please come this way."
"Thank you, Eunuch Gao."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Meiren has spoken seriously. I have a small matter to inform Li Meiren. Your Majesty has said that from now on, the four beauties including Li Meiren who come to see your Majesty will be able to enter directly without having to go through the process.
"
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised, and then she couldn't hide her joy. This showed that Zhao Yun valued her very much and wanted to have a close relationship with her.
Li Xuan came to the garden pond, saluted Zhao Yun, and said, "I have seen you, slave Li Xuan."
"No, my beloved concubine and I are husband and wife. There is no need to be so polite. It's obvious that we are separate. When you see me in the future, be more casual and don't be formal."
Before Li Xuan could finish her salute, Zhao Yun raised his hand to support her, indicating that she would be excused from the ceremony, and waved her cordially, asking her to sit next to him.
Zhao Yun's kind attitude made Li Xuan feel happy, and she felt more and more that although she and Zhao Yun were in a political marriage, they cared deeply about each other and it was a beautiful marriage.
Li Xuan, a little shy, sat next to Zhao Yun.
With the beauty by his side, Zhao Yun naturally did not care about fishing. He carefully put away the fishing rod and asked Li Xuan: "My beloved, you rarely come to see me. Is there anything wrong?"
Li Xuan's face turned solemn and she hesitated for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage to kneel down to Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty, our Xia Kingdom has been destroyed and the ancestral temple has been destroyed. I can't feel at ease every time I think about it.
Therefore, I also ask Your Majesty to grant permission for the slaves to establish the Xia Kingdom Li Clan Ancestral Temple in Lin'an to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties and to offer sacrifices and worship from afar, out of the filial piety of all slaves."
After saying that, Li Xuan looked at Zhao Yun nervously, waiting for his decision.
The relationship between Xixia and the Song Dynasty was not good. The Song Dynasty even suffered heavy losses from Xixia many times and suffered humiliation. It can be said that it is an enemy country.
Now that Xixia was destroyed by Mongolia, it was too late for the Song Dynasty to be happy. How could it be possible for Li Xuan to set up an ancestral temple in the Song Dynasty to worship the ancestors of the Xixia Dynasty?
Zhao Yun thought about it in his mind, and it was obvious that if he agreed to Li Xuan's request, he would be drowned in the words of Yan Guan, and the people's national sentiments would not be able to accept it.
Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan and saw that her face was full of expectation and sincerity. He thought that she was the last princess who traveled thousands of miles to the Song Dynasty. She had no one to show her, and the only one she could rely on was her husband. If he couldn't make her feel at ease.
, how to be called "husband".
Zhao Yun thought about this and said: "Let's do this. I allow you, the Li family, to dethrone you from the imperial title, grant you the title of "King of Xia", and build an ancestral temple in Lin'an in the name of "King of Xia" to perform sacrifices.
As for the title of King Xia, let’s find the closest bloodline of the Li family in the future and inherit it. What do you think, my dear concubine?”
There are no two days in the sky and no two tigers in the mountain. Naturally, Zhao Yun could not agree with Li Xuan's use of the title of "Emperor" to worship the ancestors of the Western Xia dynasties in the Song Dynasty, but the situation was completely different in the name of "King of Xia".
As long as Li Xuan accepts the title of "King of Xia" conferred by Zhao Yun, it means that the "Kings of Xia" in the past dynasties are ministers of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, it was just and right, and the Xixia army and people had no reason to resist.
Li Xuan thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and accepted.
Although the imperial title of the previous emperors of the Xia Kingdom cannot be retained, establishing an ancestral temple as the "King of Xia" still has a high status. As a princess of the subjugated country, her country was ruined and her family was ruined. To be treated like this is already a dream.
How could Li Xuan dare to ask for too much?
Li Xuan leaned over to thank you and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun smiled kindly and stretched out his hand. Li Xuan understood, shyly stretched out her little hand and held it with Zhao Yun's.
Zhao Yun said: "My beloved concubine, although the union between you and me is for the purpose of national interests, I also hope that you can understand that when I marry you, I also have you in my heart. I treat you as my wife.
I hope you can live a happy life and have a happy life."
"Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I will never be able to repay you in full for your majesty's kindness. I just want to stay with your majesty for the rest of my life and relieve your majesty's worries."
The two opened their hearts and looked at each other affectionately, without saying anything.
After Li Xuan resigned, Zhao Yun said to Gao Shi: "Gao Shi, please send a message to Zhang Chu and ask him to canonize me as the King of Xia, and to establish the ancestral temple of the Xia King to spread among the people and guide the people."
Understand the meaning and spread Li Xuan's filial piety and my benevolence and righteousness as much as possible to reduce misunderstandings."
Zhao Yun did this mainly because he was afraid that the official would not ask questions, so he would just spit shit.
Although Zhao Yun is not afraid of Yan Guan, he still gets upset every time he thinks of Yan Guan surrounding him like flies. It would be good if he could be more pure.

Sure enough, under Zhang Chu's secret arrangement, the people were excited to learn that Zhao Yun had canonized all the Western Xia emperors as kings of Xia and established ancestral temples for them as "Kings of Xia", because this meant that the Song Dynasty had officially
Recovering the homeland of Xixia is of course a good thing.
Although Xixia was still under the rule of the Mongols, this did not hinder the pride of the Song Dynasty's military and civilians at all, because the people knew that the current officials would sooner or later truly take Xixia into their hands.
As soon as those officials heard that the ancestral temples of the Western Xia emperors were to be built in the Song Dynasty, they were all very angry. They said to themselves that we, the great Song Dynasty, could establish ancestral temples for foreign emperors.
What's more, it's Xia Di, which is our mortal enemy of the Song Dynasty!
Fortunately, the people's public opinion has risen. The officials know the whole story and Zhao Yun's reputation, so they don't feel uncomfortable, and Zhao Yun is also happy and relaxed.
