It's hard to be the emperor who crosses the eagle

At the beginning of the second year of Shengwu, Su Ruochen's first child was born, a little princess.Her mother was an ordinary court lady, but unfortunately died of heavy bleeding during childbirth.Su Ruochen proposed the title for her as Princess Anguo, and she was entrusted to be raised by a nobleman in the harem.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Shengwu, Su Ruochen had just finished the ceremony and crowning ceremony, and the Queen Mother was leading the way to discuss the matter of becoming a queen.At this time, Yang Zhao sent a secret letter: Li Dewang, the emperor of Xixia, secretly entered Chengdu, hoping to ask Emperor Song to discuss the matter of jointly fighting against Mongolia.

Since they entered Shu secretly, it seems that they are smuggled immigrants, and it was normal when they were caught by the Wei Shengjun.So Yang Zhao detained them temporarily, and wrote a secret letter to Su Ruochen.

Su Ruochen fell into deep thought.

This incident should have happened after Temujin became Genghis Khan in history.Now that I am in the novel world, this incident should be postponed, but why did it happen according to the time recorded in history?Could it be that except for the key events that are exactly written in the novel, the rest are based on history?

After traveling through so many years, many things have become blurred.Asking for help from the Song Dynasty, did this happen in history?

Su Ruochen frowned.

After a while, he said: "Dong Wei, tell all the cabinet ministers in Lin'an to enter the palace."

One day later, Su Ruochen secretly left Beijing and rushed to Sichuan with Yue Lingqiu and dozens of guards.

The emperor's departure from the court did not alarm anyone. He just announced to the outside world that the emperor had a sudden illness and needed to be raised for several months.Here, King Rong supervises the country, and all state affairs are handled by the cabinet.

Although the reason was inauspicious, no one would think that the emperor had left Lin'an, and this had achieved his goal.

Su Ruochen had thought about going to Sichuan in person.He needs to see how the country has developed over the years and what is still lacking among the people; he also needs to examine the progress of the current situation to verify whether his speculation is correct; besides, he can take this opportunity to see Who has the heart of disobedience.

Along the way, Su Ruochen was quite satisfied.After all, today's iron-fisted style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are not many people who dare to do things that are obedient to others.

Nearly half a month had passed by the time we hurried to Sichuan.

Although Su Ruochen has only practiced a set of Taizu Changquan, his horse skills are very good, which is also due to Yue Shan's teaching skills.

As soon as Yang Zhao heard the imperial court's secret envoy came, he immediately came out to greet him, and when he saw who was coming, he almost knelt down in shock, but fortunately Su Ruochen stopped him with his sharp eyes and quick hands.

Yang Zhao was not a stupid person either, he immediately understood and respectfully led the group into the mansion.

Yang Zhao greeted Su Ruochen and Yue Lingqiu into the secret room, and discussed about asking for help from Xixia.

"Minister Yang Zhao sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Stay flat." Su Ruochen asked, "Yang Aiqing, what did the secret envoy of Xixia say?"

Yang Zhao got up, stood upright with hands down, and replied: "The secret envoy of Western Xia requested to form a brotherly state with Song Dynasty and fight against Mongolia together."

"What price can they pay?"

"In the future when Mongolia attacks the Song Dynasty, Xixia will definitely help."

Su Ruochen sneered and said, "They can say such nonsense? I, Da Song, are many times stronger than Xixia, and I will definitely become stronger in the future. At that time, I need his help? He has a good plan!"

After taking a sip of tea, Su Ruochen said again: "Xixia was originally the land of the Great Song Dynasty. Back then, Li Yuanhao stole it to establish a country. Now it's time for my Great Song Dynasty to take it back! Tell the secret envoy that I want the whole of Xixia!"

"According to the order."

"Forget it." After thinking for a while, Su Ruochen waved his hand, "I still tell him that there are only three conditions. First, my Song Dynasty merchants who go to Xixia to do business must be given the most preferential treatment and are not allowed to be blocked by any name; Second, everyone in Xixia must read our Da Song newspaper; third, and most importantly, let the whole country of Xixia learn Confucianism without any omissions. Tell them not to try to break the contract, since I can help them defeat Mongolia, of course he can destroy Xixia!"

Let the merchants only bring luxury goods to Xixia, and exchange them for real gold, silver and various practical materials, and finally achieve the goal of economically controlling Xixia; newspapers, of course, are fooling the people of Xixia: Look how good my Song Dynasty is, how so Prosperity, etc.; letting Xixia people learn Confucianism was a cultural invasion. In the end, it was natural for Xixia to become a province of the Song Dynasty.

Although it is the fastest and most direct way to destroy the history of Xixia, it can be won without bloodshed. Although it takes a long time, it is still very good.

What's more, there is a golden country between Xixia and Song Dynasty, and it is not the time to conquer Xixia now.Moreover, it is better to have Xixia to clamp down on Mongolian forces than to let your own army fight against it.After all, the Xixia people at this time were not considered citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, so it didn't matter how many people died.

In the end, the secret envoy of Western Xia palely agreed to Su Ruochen's three conditions.

——Could it be that when Yang Zhao arrested him, Wei Shengjun was too tough?It's too tragic to scare people like this.

After the secret envoy of Xixia left, Su Ruochen wrote an edict to send Yue Lingqiu back to Lin'an first, and asked the cabinet to do so.

Yue Lingqiu said, "The duty of the last general is to protect His Majesty's safety, not to deliver letters."

Su Ruochen smiled and said: "Ling Qiu, this matter is a major national event, and I am just an ordinary person before this matter. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better it will be for Da Song. Don't you want to fight the enemy? ? Don’t want to win glory for the country?”

"Go to battle?" Yue Lingqiu's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

Su Ruochen said seriously: "Yes, I am the female general of Song Dynasty."

After Yue Lingqiu left, Su Ruochen asked Yang Zhaoxian to pay close attention to the dynamics of the war between Mongolia and Xixia, and prepared to lead the Wei Sheng Army to fight the war at the most appropriate time and announce the participation of the Great Song Dynasty.

The secret letter that Yue Lingqiu brought back to Lin'an was to tell the cabinet about this.Although Su Ruochen can directly transfer troops, but now that the "emperor" is ill, these plays still have to be performed.Of course, in addition to these, there is the most important point in that secret letter, that is, the emperor's heart is playing wild, and he will go back after a while, and the cabinet will take care of anything.

Yang Zhao has been using "reporting to the court" as an excuse to block Xixia's urging to join the war several times.

After Su Ruochen lived in Chengdu Mansion for more than ten days, the so-called "opportunity" finally came.

Mongolia has almost reached the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. Seeing that the Xixia Emperor Li Dewang ran away to pack his bags and run away, the Song Dynasty finally sent troops.

It was the first time to watch the battlefield up close, Su Ruochen was still very excited.

Regarding the fact that the emperor came to the battlefield in person, Yang Zhao really had a hard time saying it.He was praying that nothing would happen to the emperor... He even cursed the people in the cabinet, why did he agree to the emperor coming out?

——Actually, no one thought that the young and mature emperor would actually do such a thing.
