1044. The Empress asks for help

It's dawn again.

In Changsha City, Zhao Dongting handled government affairs in the Imperial Study Room.

Officials detained in various places related to the rioters have been killed and exiled. Those lists are now on his desk.

In addition to these, there are naturally also messages from Feige who came from Yuanzhong.

The letter was told by Zhou Xing.

This is also the thing that makes Zhao Dongting most concerned about.

He held the secret letter that Zhou Xing had sent back in his hand, and had been reading it for a long time.

Kublai Khan actually wanted to marry Turando to him. This not only made Zhou Xingyan feel confused, but even Zhao Dongting himself felt it was incredible.

Why?

Could it be that Kublai Khan's character would naively think that he would give up his attack on the Yuan Dynasty just because of Torando?

Will the Yuan army continue to be eyeing the northern border of the Song Dynasty?

This is really wrong to Zhao Dongting.

Perhaps before he was injured in his previous life, Zhao Dongting would choose to love beauty but not the country, but now, he will never.

He knew how brave he was on his shoulders.

This is related to the lives of millions of people in the Song Dynasty.

Unless Le Chan is dead and forced to force her...

Zhao Dongting thought carefully, even if Le Chan was dead, he probably wouldn't choose to ignore the country, right?

He thought of the old men on the island of Juzhou.

He had the responsibility to create a brilliant and prosperous era for these old soldiers and the people of the Song Dynasty.

So even if Turando gets married, it is not that important whether he will fall in love with Turando.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting felt that he would not fall in love with Turando.

After a long period of contemplation, he wrote to Zhou Xingyan, "I am willing to take Turando as my concubine! The peace talks are reached, so that the Yuan army can withdraw its troops immediately!"

He really doesn't want to fight anymore.

Because now Liu Zhuwen and others have led a large army to attack the country, and soon Zhao Dongting plans to destroy the Xinsong, leaving Duan Qilin completely desperate.

This means there is no energy to continue to compete with the Yuan army in northern Xinjiang.

The army needs to accumulate money and food when fighting for the front. Now the Song Dynasty is already under heavy burden, and even if it fights alone in the Three Kingdoms, it will also shake the foundation of the country.

Of course, Zhao Dongting didn't want to see the foundation he had finally built backwards.

Soon, a carrier pigeon soared into the sky and headed towards Yuanzhongdu in Changsha.

Zhao Dongting also planned to leave the imperial study room and return to the bedroom.

Just as he had just walked out of the imperial study, he met Zhongsun Guge, the envoy of the Western Xia to Song, who was walking in a hurry with his head down.

Zhao Dongting was slightly puzzled and asked, "Did Lord Zhongsun come to see me?"

Zhongsun Guge raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Dongting, and hurriedly bowed: "Zhongsun Guge has met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

His attitude is far from being warm.

Obviously, Zhao Dongting still felt a little resentful about Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops to help him twice.

He had already received the letter that the troops of Xinsong had already returned to Tongchuan Mansion Road through Lizhou East Road. If Li Xiushu had not refused to send troops, these New Song troops would not have been able to go back.

Of course, Zhongsun Guge could hear the coldness in Zhao Dongting's tone, and his face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

If he was not the envoy of the Western Xia to Song, he would really not want to bite the bullet and come to see Zhao Dongting.

Even himself felt that the empress was really inauthentic this time.

But as a minister, he had no choice.

After a little silence, Zhongsun Guge bowed and said to Zhao Dongting: "Zhongsun Guge is ordered by the emperor and comes to see the Emperor. If you have something... you need your help."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "You Xixia Empress is so capable, what else do you need the assistance of the Song Dynasty?"

Zhongsun Guge gritted his teeth and simply confessed: "Zhongsun Guge knew that Emperor Song was quite dissatisfied with the emperor of our dynasty for not sending troops to help twice, but Zhongsun Guge still asked Emperor Song not to be angry for the first time. The emperor of our dynasty was unwilling to send troops to help because the Song Dynasty had not reached a desperate situation. Zhongsun Guge did not dare to make any guesses and did not dare to argue for the emperor of our dynasty. This time, Emperor Song asked the emperor of our dynasty to send troops to stop the new Song army from returning to the country, and the emperor of our dynasty chose to refuse. It is understandable."

Zhao Dongting's eyes showed a very playful look, "What's the reason?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "This is why I came to see you, Emperor Song. The emperor of our dynasty did not send troops because Pang Hongguang from the east road of Lizhou was not really interested in the empress."

"oh?"

This really surprised Zhao Dongting, "As a Yuan minister, Pang Hongguang, who joined you Xixia, did not really surrender to your emperor?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "The emperor of our dynasty has learned that... Pang Hongguang is a Dali chess piece. He is very likely to be a member of Guigu Academy."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned.

Is Pang Hongguang a member of Guigu Academy?

That is the chess pieces arranged by Guigu Academy in the Yuan Dynasty early?

Just think that what is the purpose of Guigu Academy asking Pang Hongguang and others to choose to abandon Yuan and join Xia?

Could it be that the Song Dynasty defeated the Yuan army one after another, the Guigu Academy wanted to bury this hidden thunder in the Western Xia country, which was an ally of the Song Dynasty?

If you think about it carefully, this possibility is really great.

Zhao Dongting's thoughts gradually became clearer.

The layout of Guigu Academy is really far-sighted...

But they probably never thought that because this failure to attack Song would force them to expose Pang Hongguang, the chess piece?

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Dongting asked Zhongsun Guge, "Then do you come here this time to ask me to send troops to help you Xixia truly take over Lizhou East Road?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "Not only that, there is Lizhou West Road, and even Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road. Our emperor wants to take them all down in one fell swoop."

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "What's the benefit of me? If I remember correctly, the east and west routes of Lizhou were originally the territory of the Song Dynasty. You ask me to send troops to help you Xixia take these two routes and then hand them over to you? If you are the emperor, do you think you would agree easily?"

Zhongsun Guge frowned slightly, "Why would you dare to ask what Emperor Song wants?"

Zhao Dongting said: "What I want, can't you guess?"

Zhongsun Guge frowned even deeper, "The emperor of my dynasty has already told his subordinates. If Emperor Song wants to have two ways to go to Lizhou, east and west, let me refuse. Because my Xixia territory is narrow, the two ways to go to Lizhou, east and west are also crucial. The emperor also said... Emperor Song, you don't have to rush to refuse. Because, she... her fate with you has arrived."

When he said the following sentence, Zhongsun Guge's expression seemed very strange.

He really didn't know what Li Xiushu meant.

Although he occasionally heard that Li Xiushu had some things happened to the Emperor of Song in Changsha Royal City, he did not think that would be true.

Who are the Empress of Xixia?

What reason should I have a relationship with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?

And the age difference between the two is still so big.

This only shows that although Zhongsun Guge is a capable minister, he may not have a good understanding of women's hearts.

However, when Zhao Dongting heard Zhongsun Guge's words, he was a little confused again.

Of course he knew what Li Xiushu meant.

It must be Lee Soo-sook being pregnant with her own child...

But, just because Lee Soo-sook is pregnant with her own child, will she send troops to help Lee Soo-sook for free?

What if Li Xiushu proposes more conditions in the future?

Zhao Dongting's brows frowned deeply.

He could not care about his close relatives. He was only in the position of the emperor, but he had too many things to measure.

After a long silence, Zhao Dongting said to Zhongsun Guge again: "Then, your emperor, don't even want to give me any benefits?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "The emperor of our dynasty wishes to form permanent allies with the Song Dynasty in the future. When this matter is completed, the Song Dynasty will lead the army to attack the New Song Dynasty, and the emperor will send troops to the New Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty will lead the army to attack the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the emperor will also send troops to the Great Yuan Dynasty."

Zhao Dongting smashes his mouth and looks fun.

Li Xiushu is really a good idea.

Just a promise made me want to send troops to help her.

Moreover, after the destruction of the New Song and Yuan dynasties, what should the Song and Xia sides be?

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly had an idea in Zhao Dongting's mind.

Damn it!

That guy Wu Amiao is probably already in Xixia Imperial City now?

Could he really hit Li Xiushu's butt?

He suddenly felt a little numb and a little strange in his heart.
