1123. Zhongsun’s rage

Chen Wenlong pondered for a while, "Only the emperor, that empress is sincere..."

He wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhao Dongting smiled, "She is a smart person. Besides, she has sent Xiaodu to Changsha to raise him. What else can I trust?"

"The emperor, Xixia ambassador Zhongsun Guge, seeking a meeting."

And at this moment, the voice of a eunuch suddenly sounded outside the house.

Zhao Dongting and Chen Wenlong were both slightly stunned, and then looked at each other. Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "The news about Zhongsun Guge is quite well-versed."

After saying that, he shouted to the outside, "Please come in!"

In just over ten seconds, the door of the imperial study room was pushed open from the outside. Zhongsun Guge, wearing the Xixia official robe, walked into the house.

He saluted Zhao Dongting and Chen Wenlong in turn, "Emperor Song, Deputy State Councillor."

Zhao Dongting sat on the bed in a rather lazy manner and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhongsun has something to do with me?"

Of course, this is a question knowingly.

Without thinking about it, Zhao Dongting could even think that Zhongsun Guge was coming from Li Xiushu's intention.

And then, it was time for him to act.

Zhongsun Guge looked at Zhao Dongting with a strange expression, then looked at Chen Wenlong and Eunuch Liu again, wanting to speak but stopping.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhongsun has something to say. Lord. Chen and Eunuch Liu are both the people I trust the most."

Zhongsun Guge said: "Emperor Song really wants me to tell me?"

Zhao Dongting said: "But it's okay!"

Zhongsun Guge bowed to Zhao Dongting, but his face calmed down slightly, "I wonder if Emperor Song has not seen anyone in the palace these days, has he actually gone to the Xixia Zhongxing Prefecture?"

"Why did Lord Zhongsun say this?"

Zhao Dongting deliberately stared at his eyes and pretended to be confused, "I have been visiting privately outside the palace these days, how could I go to Zhongxing Mansion in Xixia? What else do I do?"

Zhongsun Guge sneered, "Then the sending masters to hijack my prince is always what Emperor Song did, right?"

Zhao Dongting naturally pretended to be stupid, "Prince? Lord Zhongsun, when did you Xixia have a prince?"

Of course, Zhongsun Guge saw that Zhao Dongting was pretending to be stupid, and his expression became even colder, and said, "I dared to ask Emperor Song to stop pretending to be confused. The empress gave birth to your bloodline, and I was passing it on to you. As the father of our Xixia prince, you sent someone to do such a thing, which is really a bit despicable. The Song Dynasty does not lack princes, so why do you need to take away the only princes in Xixia? Do you really want to force our Xixia and your Song Dynasty to rebel against each other in such a way?"

Zhao Dongting's face also became slightly gloomy. He no longer denied it, but said, "What do you want, Lord Zhongsun? Or what do you want, what do you want?"

Of course, he is still acting.

But Zhongsun Guge could not see it.

At this moment, he was indeed angry in his heart. He felt that it was not worth it for what his emperor met.

Although the situation in Xixia was not as good as that of others, he still had to suppress this anger.

Looking at Zhao Dongting deeply, Zhongsun Guge said, "Our emperor of our dynasty is willing to exchange the prince from both east and west of Lizhou, so please consider it. In this way, we, Xixia, may be able to continue to maintain friendly exchanges with Xixia. Otherwise, we, Xixia, will never give up."

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mr. Zhongsun is threatening me?"

Chen Wenlong and Eunuch Liu were pretending to be shocked next to each other, but in fact, they were laughing in their hearts.

Zhongsun Guge worked hard for the Empress of the Western Xia with such a tough attitude, but he was afraid that it was not known that this was actually the plan set by the emperor and the Empress of the Western Xia.

Zhongsun Guge was indeed quite proud and raised his neck and said, "If Emperor Song wants to think so, then there is nothing wrong with it. Although our Xixia is young, there are many men who are not afraid of death."

"hehe!"

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "You men in Xixia are not afraid of death, are our men in Song Dynasty afraid of death?"

He slowly walked down from the bed and went to Zhongsun Guge, staring at Zhongsun Guge deeply and said, "Lizhou, east and west routes, are the land of our Song Dynasty. You Xixia quelled the rebellion of Pang Hongguang and others, thanks to the help of the Song Dynasty, it is also necessary to return it. And the Xiaoxia is my bloodline, and it is also necessary to take him back to Changsha to raise him! Lord Zhongsun, you think the situation in various countries is clear. Could it be that you, do you think I will really give birth to my descendants for the empress, so will you allow you Xixia to continue to grow?"

When Zhongsun Guge heard this, he was so angry that he was a little trembling.

He looked at Zhao Dongting with a shameless look, "It turns out that Emperor Song had the intention of annexing our Xixia."

"hehe!"

Zhao Dongting laughed again, "I not only want Xixia, but also the Yuan Dynasty and the Li Dynasty. I want to build an unprecedented vast territory for the Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, is your empress deliberately seducing me by taking advantage of the opportunity to see me in Changsha and trying to protect Xixia with my bloodline? Wouldn't you just do this?"

Zhongsun Guge gritted his teeth, "Will Emperor Song not agree?"

Zhao Dongting said only: "I just said that the east and west Lizhou were originally the territory of our Song Dynasty."

Zhongsun Guge was silent for a few seconds and bowed again, "Since that's the case, then Zhongsun Guge took his leave first."

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the house.

It was not until the door that he suddenly said quietly, "Emperor Song is so arrogant, so please be prepared to face our Xixia army!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

"Ouch!"

This made the eunuch outside the door cry down, but before he could speak, Zhao Dongting stopped him, "Let him go."

The door of the Imperial Study Room was closed again.

In the room, the arrogance on Zhao Dongting's face disappeared instantly, and he laughed softly, both Eunuch Liu and Chen Wenlong.

Chen Wenlong said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, it seems that our Song Dynasty is really going to have a fight with Xixia."

The arrival of Zhongsun Guge made him feel at ease. Things were following the arrangements of the emperor and the empress. It seemed that the empress had truly reached a consensus with the emperor.

"Don't worry!"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "It's impossible to fight. If the two armies really need to confront each other in the end, then the layout between me and the empress would be too failure. What I want is to make Xixia surrender to me on its own initiative."

After saying that, he and Chen Wenlong didn't say anything more, and soon left the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting didn't have time to rest, so he led Kong Qiangu out of Changsha again, and the two cavalry rushed towards Lin'an Prefecture.

Zhongsun Guge rushed back to his envoy's mansion and immediately sent a message to the Zhongxing Mansion of Xixia.

What Zhao Dongting said in the imperial study just now made him angry.

He never thought that Zhao Dongting was such an arrogant and arrogant person before.

It seems that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty has changed the mind and nature of the Song emperor.

In Zhongsun Guge's view, this is not a symbol of the decline of the Song Dynasty.

The great Song Dynasty was prosperous because of the wise king. But now the storm is in a dim position, and it is not uncommon for the storm to decline as a result.

In his letter, he even explicitly stated that Emperor Song was arrogant and asked Li Xiushu to join forces with the Yuan Dynasty and other countries to join in the destruction of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was even more ambitious than the Yuan Dynasty.

It was soon ten days later.

Zhao Dongting and Kong Qiangu rushed to Longxing Mansion on Pingjiang South West Road and finally caught up with Le Chan's pedestrian.

Wen Tianxiang, the Grand Marshal of Xingguo Military Region, did not go to Lin'an Prefecture at this time.

After Zhao Dongting and the others entered the city, they learned that the imperial army was in Longxing Mansion at this time, and they were quite happy. Then they hurried towards the government office in the city.

After Kong Qiangu showed the token of the Glory Hall of Wuding Hall, the soldiers guarding the government office hurried in to report.

Then we saw the Grand Marshal Wen Tianxiang of Xingguo Military Region, Wang Yinglin of Jiangnan West Road Transportation Commander, Queen Le Chan, State Councilor Lu Xiufu and other officials in the court hurriedly welcomed the generals.

When they arrived at the door, except for Le Chan and his daughters, they all knocked at Zhao Dongting: "I will bow to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

This made the soldiers guarding the door confused.

No one thought that this young man wearing an ordinary brocade robe would be the current emperor.

It is said that the emperor is a maverick in his current affairs, which seems to be true.

After they came to their senses, they hurriedly fell down.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Everyone should be calm!"

Then his eyes fell on Le Chan's face and nodded slightly to Le Chan.

Le Chan understood instantly, and a smile appeared on her face.

It seems that the emperor's trip to Xixia should be extremely smooth.
