Chapter 296 Xixia’s plan(1/2)
On this day, Zhao Xu rushed back and forth between the various palaces. It was not until evening that he dragged his tired body back to Funing Hall.
I took a short rest in the inner hall and drank a cup of tofu prepared by Feng Jing in the imperial kitchen.
He began to review the congratulatory forms.
First of all, there are congratulatory statements from Yulong Zhuzhi, Gu Duozhi, the imperial city ministers, personal officers and commanders, and the personal officers and commanders.
Zhao Xu reviewed these forms of congratulations carefully.
He also asked Feng Jing and Shi Deyi to prepare the relevant personnel's ancestral deeds and posthumous official positions beside them.
For example, Zhao Xu's reply to Di Yong was: After Qing Di Wu Xiang Gong, he is the pillar of the country and the powerful minions of the country! You should also be determined: on the outside, you can carry out the talisman of the general, and he can conquer thousands of miles! On the inside, he can hold the key points of the army and line up the surroundings.
Qianlu!
The reply to Yan Chen was: Father, you are my tiger minister, and the late emperor's general! You are my close guard, and you are the general who sleeps on the road! I want the rituals and music to be prosperous in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and the carriages and clothes to be in the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so I send this letter
I have entrusted you with the important position of being a police officer in the palace. May you be as cautious as ever and be my wing!
Approving a letter is tiring, but it is something that must be done.
In a dynasty like the Song Dynasty, which had a clear slogan of "ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats", military officials were generally sensitive and had strong self-esteem.
To win over the morale of the troops and make the generals obey orders, not only must they give adequate rewards, but they must also appease the morale of the troops at all times.
At least let the generals know that the emperor supports us.
This is also the true meaning of rule in the Song Dynasty.
This is Zhao Xu’s experience in his previous life!
After reviewing the congratulatory forms of the generals, the remaining congratulatory forms of the departments directly under the royal family can be perfunctory.
In other words, Shen Kuo and Li Xian's congratulations should be treated seriously and a few more words of condolence should be written.
It took Zhao Xu an hour to finish reviewing all the congratulatory forms.
Then he told Shi Deyi: "Send someone immediately..."
"Wei!" Shi Deyi bowed with admiration.
He naturally knew that Zhao Xu's hard work would definitely be rewarded.
Especially the personal servants and ministers of the Imperial City, after today, they will completely return to their hearts and become the ministers of everyone.
After seeing off Shi Deyi, Zhao Xu looked at the congratulatory forms and credentials handed over by envoys from various countries.
The Liao people's congratulations were written in intimate terms, and their credentials were full of greetings and friendship.
The Korean people are as humble as ever.
Of course, they were more humble to the Liao Kingdom.
When he saw the congratulatory forms and credentials from the party members, Zhao Xu smiled slightly.
"This party member has the same tea as me!"
Take a look at what others said: The late king and the Queen Mother warned their ministers on their deathbed: I have received the title of nobility from the imperial court, and I am extremely gracious! Today, with the grace of the emperor, I have ended the war and sent back my relatives. It is appropriate to respectfully present the relics of the late king and the Queen Mother as a tribute.
The Emperor, to show that he never forgets the meaning of obedience, and if your majesty forgives him, I will die without regrets! I am obedient, and I would like to send an envoy to the abandoned horse to pay homage to the palace!
This is Biluochun who has become a spirit!
It's a pity that such words can only deceive the two palaces.
It's completely unsatisfactory here in Zhao Xu.
What kind of tea talk has he not heard in modern times?
Therefore, Zhao Xu directly opened the credentials of the party members.
I'm still 'begging for His Majesty's grace to allow our country to import gold and silver, as a way of paying off'.
Of course Zhao Xu would not approve it.
Neither will the two palaces!
The Prime Minister of the capital city doesn’t know that either!
Because, just a few days ago, Gao Gongji of Xihe Road, Xiang Zonghui, and Guan Gouxi Helanhui Road official, that is, Zhao Ji, the civil servant who was fully responsible for the military affairs of Xihe Road when the economic envoy was temporarily absent, jointly reported
Report: The report found out that the men of the Western Bandits Nine Supervisors and Military Division may have the intention of invading Lanzhou!
At the same time, a secret letter from the Aligu envoy from Tubo in the Qing and Tang dynasties was reported: The Burmese pharmacist (the name the Tubo people called Dang Xiangwei's famous master) gathered his troops and told the Han family to make big preparations, and reported to the Han in Tokyo early.
Uncle at home.
This is an old trick of party members.
On the one hand, they were paralyzing the Song Dynasty, but on the other hand, they secretly gathered their troops and prepared troops.
If you don't pay attention, people will rush in, burn, kill and loot.
Especially this autumn, there was a severe drought in Western Xia, and it is said that in many places winter wheat did not even sprout.
Therefore, Xixia's invasion of invaders is not a small probability, but a high probability.
However, the Tubo people did not have any good intentions either.
Maybe, they may be in alliance with the party members while selling them out.
This is their way of survival.
In Zhao Xu's impression, Ali Gu, a young boy of 25, would definitely do this.
Looking at the congratulatory forms and credentials of the party members.
Zhao Xu was thinking about how to surprise the party members.
He licked his tongue, rubbed it, and thought about it.
Zhao Xu was thinking about these things, and Feng Jing walked to him quietly: "Everyone, it's late at night, let's take a rest!"
Zhao Xu exclaimed and looked at the time. It was almost Haishi!
It's time to sleep!
So, he stood up, washed his feet and fell asleep while Feng Jing served him.
At the same time, empty your mind of everything and stop thinking about it.
This is a skill he learned in modern times.
Secret tips for falling asleep quickly in the wild!
…
Ice and snow fell on the ridge of Tiandu Mountain.
Liang Yibu, in his palace at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, looked at Ali Gu's envoy who came to him late at night.
"What did your Zanpu say?" Liang Yibu asked.
"My family is willing to follow the Prime Minister's instructions to fight against the Southern Barbarians and regain our homeland!" the envoy replied respectfully.
"So, how many troops are Zanpu willing to send?" Liang Yibu asked with interest: "And how much food and grass are you willing to help?"
"This..." The messenger hesitated: "To be honest with the Prime Minister, our country also encountered a severe drought this year..."
"There is a famine in the country and there is really no food..."
"As for the troops and horses, my family Zanpu said that if the Dabai Gao Kingdom is willing to give my family 50,000 stones of food and grass, they can send 20,000 troops to help the Dabai Gao Kingdom!"
Liang Yibu smiled.
The candlelight in the palace illuminated his gloomy face.
Even the autumn wind hit him here!
Liang Yibu could guarantee that as long as he gave him food and grass, the Tibetans would definitely take the food and grass and run away.
Anyway, Dabai Gaoguo can't bite them - now that Lanzhou is still in the hands of the Nanman, Dabai Gaoguo can't ignore the danger behind it and go deep into Qingtang.
That is equivalent to exposing one's back to the southern barbarians' front.
Too stupid and too dangerous!
"Got it!" Liang Yibu said with a gloomy face, waving his hand: "Go down first!"
After sending the Tibetan envoy away, Liang Yibu looked at the party nobles who came to him and said: "The hearts of the Tubo people have been torn apart by crows!"
"Ali Gu is even more untrustworthy!"
"Dabai Gaoguo can only rely on itself!"
He asked the generals in front of him, the military supervisors from the nine military supervisory departments: "Everyone, do you want the Nanman to give you two million yuan of wealth every year?"
Everyone showed a fierce look.
Two million strings!?
Who doesn't want to?
"The little emperor of the Southern Barbarians is willing to give the Northern Dynasty three million guan! But he is not even willing to give me, Dabai Gaoguo, one million guan a year!"
To be continued...
