Li Dexin focused on examining all the conditions one by one, and she cherished this opportunity very much.Xixia's conditions gave noble women a wider space, which is relatively speaking, but the status of the monarch's sister does not allow her to take part in political affairs as Li Dewang does.In particular, she had lost battles and been captured.After reconciling with Jin, Xixia needed less time to recruit soldiers, and the importance of Makui began to decline.

It is a rare opportunity for her to appear here, and she wants to seize such an opportunity.Because Li Deren needs an envoy who will not overly irritate Wan Yankang, and it is because Li Deren needs a trustworthy person.My family knew about my family affairs. After Li Deren ascended the throne, although Xixia was restored, the problem was still serious.The upper class of Xixia worshiped Buddha, the power of temples expanded, and they had a share in land annexation.There are also various tribes. On the one hand, they need the interests of the entire country of Xixia, and at the same time absorb nutrients from the country.

Li Deren understood very clearly that if he wanted Xixia to develop for a long time, he must centralize power and weaken monasteries and tribes.At least to restore the control of Yuanhao period.After reconciling with Jin, his recuperation policy contained clauses for this purpose.The monastery and the tribe were slightly dissatisfied, but because the crisis was resolved, they tolerated it for the time being.Li Deren really wants to continue to use the short-term peace to continue to strengthen the strength of the central government to cope with the next changes.After several years of stable life in the monastery and tribe, thoughts began to float.

It is conceivable that if the envoy is not a clan, the final agreement is likely to underestimate the country and emphasize the tribe.It is even possible that they will make another secret contract with Wanyan Kang.So this thing can only be done by your own family!Li Dewang was frightened by his father and brother back then. Although he knew what to do, he always hesitated.So Li Deren sent his sister here.

Li Dexin and Wanyankang had a dispute over the land division after the second time, and it was what both sides wanted to be able to share more land.In this regard, Wanyan Kang is completely a bandit. He snatched it himself, but he refused to give it away, and he refused to even make superficial articles.

Li Dexin glanced at Wan Yankang angrily, and immediately calmed down. This nasty little boy was no longer the same as before.Although he was stronger and smarter than himself in the past, he is also naive when compared with the present.His changes were greater than his own. If he couldn't do anything back then, it's even more difficult now.Li Dexin's teeth were itchy, she only hated that she didn't do it when she could still mess around!

Wan Yankang said kindly: "Brother Ling and I knew when we cooperated for the first time that I couldn't control his men and horses, and my men and horses wouldn't listen to him. So we just 'cooperate', and it's the same today, how about it?"

Li Dexin said: "Your territory is ten times larger than mine. To you, it's just a drop in the bucket, but to me, you pour the power of the whole country. If you pour the power of a country, you only get a little harvest. I'm afraid it can't convince the country."

"Princess was joking," Wanyan Kang said without changing his expression, "Ten times and Xia should have the world, I can't do it now."

The two practiced Tai Chi, and Li Dexin kept in mind a motto "I'm finished, no one can control the land of Ling and Xia, and you will be unlucky too", while Wanyan Kang has been revisiting the land of Ling and Xia for a long time!Because he is an ally, he has no way to swallow it hard now, so he held back. Now he has to divide the territory again, and his heart hurts.

The negotiation failed once, because although Li Deren was sure that Lian Zhou would attack Jin, but this time it was not as urgent as when Lian Jin fought against Mongolia.He could not twist most of the tribes into a single rope to fight with him.Many ministers and tribes in the west are unwilling to carry out this order—the Mongols have annexed all the tribes of Tubo and are adjacent to Xixia, so they will send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin at this time?What about their homes?

Li Deren was deeply deceived by Wanyankang and Mongolia's "non-aggression against each other", and he still had to suppress his dissatisfaction and continue to cooperate with him.Li Dexin kept a close eye on the conditions and couldn't relax too much.Finally, he couldn't help but said: "If you can't make my brother sit firmly in the Xingqing Mansion, and the party's various ministries are uncontrolled, I don't know who they will fight for! At that time, there will be no Mongols. Can you spare your hand to deal with Bianjing? To the south of Bianjing, there is also Lin'an, and the Lin'an government has wanted to regain its homeland for a long time."

This statement made Wan Yankang look at her with admiration. For a small country, Li Dexin is a qualified envoy.She knows her bargaining chips and is a sensible person.

Marathon-like negotiations were not concluded until three days before the auspicious day.Wanyan Kang promised to give Xixia a guaranteed harvest, and on this basis, Xixia worked harder and got more.

Both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

******************

On the auspicious day, the volunteer army rejoiced.The old masters who participated in the formulation of the etiquette were honored, either with gratified eyes, or with restraint and stroking their beards.Wanyan Kang's body was re-enacted by them with reference to the Tang and Song Dynasty uniforms, discarding many nomadic characteristics, and then setting the coat of arms.At that time, the clothing of the Liao and Jin Dynasties already had many factors of Sinicization, while the north was influenced by Hu Feng for a long time, and they were mixed together.In comparison, it is better preserved at the Lin'an court.

However, in order to distinguish it from it, some differences were made abruptly.The same is true of officials' clothing. The crown clothing was made in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it borrowed the characteristics of Liao and Jin in terms of decoration.Not only are they distinguished by purple, red, blue, green and other colors, but also have different animal patterns on official uniforms according to civil and martial arts and grades.

When Wanyankang saw him for the first time, he was taken aback. He thought that another fellow from time travel had come, and this basically had the prototype of Ming Dynasty costumes.The bachelor who can participate in the design of the costumes is in his fifties this year, and there is no trace of time travel.Think about it, the costumes of the Ming Dynasty were also made by people!Then he was relieved again.

People depend on clothes, and clothes also depend on people. The same clothes can be worn by some people as if they are attending a fashion conference, while others can be worn like a Taobao buyer's show that can pull grass. Wanyankang is undoubtedly the former.When he appeared on the high platform, the spectators were all amazed. The Mongolian envoy had a big beard and squinted his eyes to look at him carefully. He had to admit that although he looked too white, his vigor did not detract from others. He is a strong enemy, and he must report to the Great Khan when he returns.

Wan Yankang took one step at a time and did not need someone to help him. He could hear the sound of mountains in his ears, and there were hard steps under his feet.The high platform built on the vast plain gave him the feeling of ascending to the world.Gradually getting higher and higher, on the high platform, there are learned men who have been waiting there for a long time, preparing to read the book of offering sacrifices to heaven, there are waiters holding crowns, and Tu Danheng standing with a smile on his hands.

A few figures fell into his eyes, Wanyankang collected his mind, and stepped on the top floor calmly, looking far and wide, everything was under his feet, and only the faint mountain shadow in the distance made him feel real.Read the text, wear the crown, set up a high pyre, and burn the sacrificial text and sacrifices.

Great Zhou appeared on the map.

Tu Shanheng said with satisfaction: "Finally, this day has come."

Wanyan Kang said calmly: "The days are still long."

After that, giving banquets, summoning envoys, and having fun with the people on the towers are all easy.At the same time, Wanyankang issued several edicts in the name of the King of Zhou: [-]. From the spring of next year, the imperial examinations will be held; [-]. Pensions for widows and widows.

Among these five items, such as the appraisal of officials, has been done all the time, but now it is just put forward in a unified way.Otherwise, all the officials will be re-examined suddenly, people's hearts will fluctuate, and the court will not be able to operate normally.After weeding out unqualified officials, the light corvee and tax reduction will not affect the logistical needs of the army's mobilization—taxes were heavy during the Jin Dynasty, and it is not known where these taxes went in the end.

Now that the five rules have been released, the whole world is waiting to see if he can do it.Whether the government order is good or not, and whether the interests of all parties are taken into account, the key is to see the specific implementation, and the most important thing is the person who handles the matter.Wanyan Kang maintains a fairly good relationship with the gentry from all over the world. It is inevitable for these people to read poetry and books to protect the interests of the family. Just because they have read books for a few days, they will have some bottom lines. The average level of the Meng'an people is more acceptable to the common people.At this point, Wanyan Kang must admit that the clans and gentry in this environment cannot be beaten to death with a single stick.

Among the people in Meng'an, Wanyan Kang ordered his disciple Shan Heng to screen out, and those who are qualified will continue to be employed, while those who are incompetent will be dismissed or demoted, striving for fairness.

At that time, the Mongolian envoy had already left. Seeing the notice posted, Yu Tu called for an interpreter to ask questions. When he saw the item of reorganized troops, his eyes twitched and he hurried back.Wanyan Kang was generous and did not hide his thoughts at all.Unfortunately, these preparations of his did not come in handy in the South, but they had to be fulfilled in the West first.

Before the Xixia Mission could leave, they received an urgent message from Xingqing Mansion—after the Mongols swallowed up Tubo, they obliquely cut a piece of Xixia, driving into the hinterland like a wedge, almost facing Wanyankang’s territory in the south. border.This is easy for Mongolia, and the tribes and some cities in western Xixia cannot resist such an invasion.This caused dissatisfaction with Xixia's domestic savings. Just as Wanyankang sneaked into the temple to fish out Li Deren before, the monks in the place where the Supreme Emperor went to practice released the Xixia Emperor.

When Li Deren was in power, Xixia's national economy and people's livelihood improved somewhat, so he still has many fans.Under the protection of the Poxi Army, Li Deren fled south.Xixia once faced a split. Ren Dejing, the surrendered general of the Song Dynasty, used force to force Emperor Xia, split the land, and confronted each other between the north and the south.Now Li Deren and his son, just like back then, Xixia fell into a split.

Li Dewang was shocked, his father's cruelty and his brother's cleansing in the past are vivid in his memory.In Zhou State, they are safe, but what about outside Zhou State?Where will it go?He kept pacing, he knew that his elder brother was more suitable for Xixia, but his father... Li Dewang pondered for a long time, determined to ask King Zhou.

Wan Yankang learned about the incident in Xingqing Mansion only a moment later than Li Dewang, and urgently called Tu Shanheng and others to discuss it.Xixia is not chaotic, whether fighting against Mongolia or attacking gold, he is relatively calm.There was chaos in Xixia, and the emperor returned and regarded him as an enemy, so he couldn't spare his energy to attack Bianjing.

Li Deren must be supported!

Tu Shanheng snorted: "What a waste, even the Xingqing Mansion has been lost!" Then he dragged out his tune, and raised two fingers on his left hand, "The second one has been reset." With a gloomy gaze, he looked westward. side.Wanyankang's "Prince's Mansion" follows the old design of the Shuai Mansion, with a slight expansion. Wanyan Honglie now lives in Xiyuan.

Wanyan Kang: ...
