The moment the official saw Zhang Yue Zhazi, he was a little angry.
It's not that I'm a little angry, but I'm very angry.
For the officials, Huangzhou is already what they have eaten. How can you be willing to spit it out again?
What's more, Huangzhou has just been conquered, and it hasn't been warmed up yet.
Human nature is averse to losses. Compared with making a hundred dollars and losing a hundred dollars, it is obvious that the discomfort of losing a hundred dollars is greater than the joy of making a hundred dollars.
Not to mention that Guan Jia's biggest hobby in his life was to fill in color blocks on the map, painting all the places on the map with the scorching vermilion of the Song Dynasty. How can he be willing to let such a big piece of vermilion on the map be missing now?
So when the official saw Zha Zi, he was very angry with Zhang Yue.
However, after the official carefully looked at Zha Zi and thought about it for a moment, he realized that Zhang Yue's words were indeed reasonable, even though he was very reluctant to accept them at first.
Deng Wan spied on the official's expressions and immediately asked keenly: "Your Majesty, did Zhang Yue say anything about Xixia in his letter?"
Before the officials could think about it, Wu Chong on the side asked: "Why did Deng Zhongcheng ask the Xuanfu envoy to submit His Majesty's secret letter?"
When Deng Wan saw that Wu Chong had exposed his thoughts, he immediately said, "I didn't mean that. My husband is overly worried."
Zhazi is a single line of communication between the officials and ministers, and the Zhazi of the Xuanfu envoy does not pass through the hands of a third party, which means that as long as the officials do not tell it, no third party will know.
After hearing what Wu Chong said and thinking about Deng Wan's criticism of Zhang Yue in the court today, the officials immediately understood that as long as the contents of the Zhazi were known to Deng Wan and his like, Zhang Yue would probably be criticized verbally and written by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
The official thought of this and thought that no third party would know about it, so he put the note into the bamboo tube, and the servant immediately took it and left.
No one knows what was said in the note...
The official said: "The Xia Kingdom has sent troops to Jingyuan Road. If they really collude with the Qing and Tang Dynasties to attack Xihe Road, what plan will they use?"
Zeng Xiaokuan said: "Even if the Qingtang tribe really has different intentions, they are not monolithic. The imperial court can divide their plans, and then mobilize the Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses to go north, and then guard the pass and divide the troops to occupy it. The main thing is to deal with the Xia Kingdom, and the Qingtang Dynasty is the supplement."
When the officials heard that they were dividing their troops, they frowned.
After a long discussion in the palace, the officials issued a secret order and sent it to Li Xian in Xizhou at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.
…
At this moment, he is in the royal city of Qingtang City.
The envoy of Xixia Prime Minister Liang Yimi was using his eloquent tongue to vividly describe to several elders of the Qingtang tribe the Qingtang and Xixia joint attack on the Song Dynasty, attracting them by dividing the Xihe Road equally.
Several elders were silent in the face of the Xixia envoy's speech. In the end, they only said, "All matters in the country are left to Ali Gu. We have no objections. You can discuss it with him."
After receiving the reply from Dong Zhan, the Xixia envoy left the palace.
This time he brought a large amount of gold, pearls, ivory and other items from Xixia, and used bribery and lobbying to get the Qingtang tribe to join their camp.
He immediately went to visit the Khitan princess, Dong Fei's wife. This Khitan princess had a very high status in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, and she was very kind to Ali Gu. It was her appreciation that made Ali Gu what it is today.
Princess Khitan said: "I have persuaded Ali Gu. He said that among the officials of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, Wen Xixin and Wen Nazhi are the most pro-Song people. If they raise troops to rebel against the Song Dynasty, I am afraid these two will rebel."
The Xixia envoy said: "Just kill these people who don't understand current affairs."
Princess Khitan said: "You don't know that Ali Gu is not the Lord of Qingtang yet, and killing the minister now will not do him any good."
The Xixia envoy said: "But princess, the Song Dynasty is the great enemy of our Liao Kingdom and Xixia. You have also seen the autographed letter from the Lord of Liao. Once Qingtang and Song Dynasty get closer, your power in Qingtang will become weaker.
"
Princess Khitan hesitated for a moment and said: "Then let me advise Ali Gu again. Let me tell you, these elders have received a lot of benefits from the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in these years. If you want them to sentence the Song Dynasty, you are dealing with your own money.
The bag is in trouble.”
While we were talking, someone came in and reported, "Princess, Ba Zhanjiao is here."
…
Ba Zhenjiao, whose Chinese name is Zhao Chunzhong, is the younger brother of Naimuzheng and also has the blood of the Qing and Tang aristocrats. He is now the deputy envoy of Chongyi in the Song Dynasty and also has the jurisdiction of the Taozhou Fan tribe.
Ba Zhanjiao came on behalf of the Song Dynasty, and there were several Song counselors beside him, who were now disguised as Tibetan people.
As we all know, the Qingtang Imperial City did not welcome any Han people to enter.
As soon as Ba Zhanjiao arrived, the old nobles of the Qing and Tang tribes, such as Wen Xixin and Xinmu Qinkan, all stepped forward to greet them. These people, who belong to the vested interests of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, have fundamental differences in interests with the newcomers like Ali Gu.
.
Ba Zhanjiao asked: "I heard that Liang Yi's envoy is here. Is it true?"
Wen Xi felt an acquiescence in his heart.
Ba Zhanjiao heard this and said loudly: "Why do you really want to rebel against the Song Dynasty? Have you forgotten how Zhang Jinglue treated us back then?"
Wen Xi thought to himself: "No matter how virtuous the people of the Song Dynasty are, they are not that virtuous. Besides, the person in charge in Qingtang City now is Ali Gu, and he has long disliked us. I suspect that he wants to use this attack on the Song Dynasty to defeat us.
All the elders have been eliminated."
"Knowing this, you want to follow him? You have seen over the years that it is not easy to live a good life following Ali Gu and the Song Dynasty. You have also gone to Xizhou City and Hezhou City to see such a big city, so many
Have you ever seen the population of China? Compared with when it was in our hands, it is simply a pigsty."
"I think you definitely don't want to live the past life. Look at the brocade clothes and satin on your body, as well as the clothes worn by your wives, concubines and children. These are all given to us by the people of Song Dynasty. If we don't make friends with the people of Song Dynasty, how can we follow the people of Song Dynasty?
Do Xixia people eat sand?”
"Did the Song people give us good things? But they stole Taozhou, Huangzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou and Minzhou from us!"
A man strode forward with a huge earring pierced in his right ear. He looked very heroic. He was none other than Ali Gu himself.
Ali Gu hugged Ba Zhanjiao's shoulders and said: "I don't want to be enemies with the Song people. As long as the Song people return our land, I can work as an ox or a horse for them."
"Don't forget, good clothes and food are just external possessions. Only the land is the basis for our survival in the Qingtang tribe!" Ali Gu raised his fist when he spoke, looking very appealing.
The young noble leaders of the Qingtang tribe who followed Ali Gu all nodded and said: "That's right, we are wolves, not dogs, and we don't want charity from the Song people!"
At this moment, Ba Zangjiao was also persuaded by Ali Gu and couldn't help but lower his head.
Ali Gu said to Ba Zhanjiao: "If you remember that you are still a member of the Qingtang tribe and are willing to come back to join us, I will welcome you at any time. If not, you can go back to the Song people. Tell them that I, Ali Gu, am just a
To get back what is ours."
Ba Zhanjiao hesitated and said again and again: "My family is all in Xizhou, but I will never be an enemy of my people."
Ali Gu sighed after hearing this.
At the end of April in the ninth year of Xining, Ali Gu led an army to rebel against the Song Dynasty and led an army of 100,000 to attack Taozhou!
At the same time, Liang Yi, the Prime Minister of Xixia, led the troops of the Twelve Military Supervisors out of Tiandu Mountain to capture Xicheng!
