A strong sense of confidence emanates from Zhao Dongting.

This is probably the so-called kingly domineering.

Zhongsun Guge was the first to be hit and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhao Dongting's words can be said to be extremely arrogant, but he did not feel any moisture in it.

The Song army was at the end of its reach, and the little emperor was able to take over Guangxi South Road and other places with a strong momentum, which made the Yangyang Yuan Dynasty choose to take the initiative to make peace. Although the power of the Song Dynasty is now empty, it is not difficult to defeat the Western Xia army like Kuizhou during the holidays.

The initiative seemed to be in control by this little emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Zhongsun Guge, who is over fifty years old, smiles bitterly in his heart.

He had never dealt with Zhao Dongting much, and only then did he personally experience it. This famous young emperor of the Song Dynasty was really difficult.

While he was still making up for the words, Zhao Dongting spoke again, "Okay, go down! Just pass on my words to you the Emperor of Xixia. When he shows enough sincerity, I will send someone to take over Kuizhou. Oh, by the way, I don't mind reminding you with kindness that the White Horse Army in Shu is not just as easy to deal with as you imagined. If you want me to take over Kuizhou, it is best to hurry up. Otherwise, before I take over Kuizhou, your Xixia Army was driven back to Lizhou East Road by the White Horse Army."

After saying this, he walked directly into the library again.

Zhongsun Guge looked at Zhao Dongting's back and was stunned for a while before slowly leaving the palace. His expression was obviously not good-looking.

After he returned to the official residence, he honestly passed Zhao Dongting's words to Lizhou East Road with a carrier pigeon.

However, the Western Xia army had just arrived at Chongqing Prefecture, so naturally there were no carrier pigeons sent to Lizhou East Road. Lizhou East Road could only send a message to Chongqing Prefecture with an urgent message that travels 800 miles a day.

This is two days in between.

After Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others received the urgent report from Kuaima in Chongqing Prefecture, they felt extremely bitter when they saw the contents of the letter.

Originally, it was a trick to sending a master to hijack Zhao Bing, but after failure, it now seems that he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.

It turned out that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not as easy to talk as he imagined. Their actions undoubtedly angered the most popular young emperor in the Central Plains.

Li Wangyuan smiled bitterly and said to Zhongsun Qifu: "Teacher, what should we give to the Song Dynasty?"

His words have already shown that he will not change his mind and would rather have some blood.

Zhongsun Qifu also smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty said it would be beneficial. Then there would be no gold, silver, food, war horses, cloth and other things. With the current popularity of weapons in the Song Dynasty, if we send them weapons to compensate, they would definitely not look down on them."

Li Wangyuan said: "Then give some of them?"

The ministers of Xixia in the hall felt a little frustrated, but at this time, there was obviously nothing to say.

The letter from Changsha said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not in a hurry to take down Kuizhou, which made them passive. It was like the original hot cake, but suddenly it was disliked.

Now it is no longer the Song Dynasty begging them to exchange Kuizhou for Li Xiushu, but they want to stuff Kuizhou, a hot potato, into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

Zhongsun Qifu gently stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, our dynasty has not produced high food. Although we have hoarded it over the years, if we send it to the Song Dynasty, if we deal with the war in the future, it will be inevitable that we will be short of difficulties. According to the old ministers, it is better to give gold and silver. Although the Song Dynasty received gold and silver, it will be difficult to relieve the emptiness of the national treasury in a short period of time. Our dynasty has not been short of war horses. In this way, we will not be hurt. The Song Dynasty will benefit from the Ming Dynasty and will not be able to improve its national strength soon."

"Um."

Li Wangyuan nodded slowly, "What the teacher said is very much, then follow what the teacher said. As for the gold, silver and the number of war horses he sent, it is up to the teacher to decide."

Li Wangyuan did not have many advantages, but his advantage lies in his self-knowledge. He knew that he was not good at these state affairs, so he was willing to rely on Zhongsun Qifu and others.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the old ministers of Xixia still supported Li Wangyuan.

If Li Wangyuan was stubborn and thought he was the descendant of the royal family, it would be great to use the patience of these old ministers in Xixia. He might have ended up with great power.

"yes."

Zhongsun Qifu bowed his orders and immediately took the ministers away and made detailed discussions.

If you give less, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty may not be satisfied. If you give more, you are afraid that you will raise your appetite in the Song Dynasty and feel distressed. Therefore, there are still many standards to be grasped.

To put it bluntly, it is actually similar to bargaining for buying things.

The seller has a seller's bottom line, and the buyer has a buyer's bottom line. The final outcome depends on who can grasp the opponent's bottom line.

In Changsha City.

After Zhao Dongting implemented several new policies in the political circle, the newly-acquisitioned grain and grass from the imperial court failed to fill the national treasury, and was still in various places and divided by defenders and imperial guards. Some people who went to Changsha, but they were not able to reach the grain warehouse, they were ordered to be sent to Tiankui Army and other five troops. The Changsha grain warehouse was still empty.

This made Chen Jianghan, the Minister of Finance, who was in charge of grain and treasury, felt very heartbroken. He blinked less these days.

But with the support of food and grass, the guards who had tightened their belts and were always worried that they would not have the rest of the meal, and the imperial guards finally stabilized their morale.

In addition to serving the country, everyone joins the army just to have a full meal.
