Chapter 132.
Seeing Li Yongxuan's tough attitude now, Yan Guifei wants to use the method of double cultivation to ease the relationship.

In fact, the method of dual cultivation is very dangerous for the weak side.

If it wasn't for the special circumstances, Concubine Yan Gui would definitely not say anything.

Although she knows the art of harvesting and nourishing, her strength is far behind Li Yongxuan.

If Li Yongxuan was unwilling to actively cooperate, Yan Guifei would be exhausted, and she would not be able to absorb any essence.

Li Yongxuan gave Concubine Yan a severe blow, and said that he would send someone to arrange a place for their mother and son.

Although Concubine Yan Gui was not happy, she did not dare to show it and reluctantly agreed.

She knew that Li Yongxuan didn't want their mother and son to get too close to Emperor Song, even though Concubine Yan Gui had nothing to do with Emperor Song.

To put it bluntly, it is Li Yongxuan's possessiveness, and he doesn't like his things being coveted by others.

A few days later, Li Yongxuan asked someone to spread rumors, saying that Zhao Tuo and Emperor Song were in conflict with each other, and that if two tigers fought, there would be casualties...

When Emperor Song heard the news, he took it seriously.

If Zhao Tuo became the crown prince, then Emperor Song, the puppet emperor, would be useless, and his life might be lost at any time.

Thinking of this, Emperor Song immediately agreed to send Yan Guifei's mother and child to be raised in a Taoist temple outside the palace.

That Taoist temple is also a property of the royal family, not far from the West Lake.

Originally, there were Taoist nuns and Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. In order not to slander the reputation of the royal family, all the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were removed, leaving only a few very old Taoist nuns, and then some palace ladies and father-in-laws were sent from the palace to serve Yan Guifei mother and son.

No man is allowed to enter, and there are guards outside the Taoist temple.

After Li Yongxuan made arrangements for Concubine Yan's mother and son, he focused his energy on the Southern Expedition.

He led a part of the Song army to return triumphantly, but left tens of thousands of troops stationed in various parts of Southeast Asia, and nearly [-] sailors continued to fight in the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago.

In order to facilitate the delivery of food, grass and ammunition supplies to the Song army on the southern expedition, Li Yongxuan sent them to various parts of Southeast Asia from time to time, and by the way had in-depth exchanges with Guo Fu who stayed in Angkor Thom.

Ever since he learned the art of mining, Li Yongxuan has been trying to double-cultivate with Xiaolongnv, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Wanyanping, Yeluyan, and Gongsun Lue.

He found that he and Xiaolongnv were the most compatible. After two rounds of practice, he reached the wonderful state of yin and yang, like a fish in water.

Cheng Ying was still a little short of the fire, and Li Yongxuan practiced with her five times before he was able to achieve it.

Lu Wushuang is even worse, and his strength is also weak; secondly, Wanyanping, Yeluyan, and Gongsun Lue, although they have all learned the Nine Yin Manual and the Jade Heart Sutra from Li Yongxuan, their understanding, strength, and time are not enough. , As for Guo Fu, let alone.

Li Yongxuan continued to work hard for several months, and finally made Xiaolongnv and Cheng Ying pregnant successively.

It can be said that double happiness!

During this period, Du Gao led the navy of the Song Army to capture the Malay Peninsula, Srivijaya on the Malay Islands, the Kingdom of Xinkeshali, Boni and other countries.

That is to say, all around the South China Sea, except Luzon, Mayi and other places, are all Song territory.

When Li Yongxuan arrived in the country of Boni, he asked Du Gao to continue to lead his army to march south.

The Kingdom of New Keshali consists of countless islands, many of which are deserted islands without people.

Further south is Australia.

At this time, Australia had not yet been developed, and only a few aborigines lived here.

Li Yongxuan knew that Australia was rich in resources, and had long thought about how to develop and utilize them.

Rather than cheapening the Western powers, it is better to mine minerals and develop rapidly.

In a blink of an eye, it was May [-].

Two days ago, Li Yongxuan received a message.

Last month, the Mongolian Khan Guiyou who led an army from Helin to conquer Batu in the west died. It is said that he sent people to recruit Batu.

On the surface, Batu accepted the order and went to Hengxiang Yier, but secretly sent a brother named Stikan to go first.

Stikan clashed with Guiyu when offering wine, and finally both of them died in the fight, and there were rumors that the wine was poisoned, in short, they both died...

Immediately afterwards, the Mongol Empire was ruled by Guiyou's Queen Hai Mi.

It stands to reason that she is relatively powerful and has the qualifications.

The problem is that although Guiyou is called the Great Khan of Mongolia, he has not won the support of all the Zongwangs of the Mongolian Empire, and only some Zongwangs support him.

The successor of the Great Khan that the former Great Khan Wo Kuotai wanted to establish was the lost martyrdom. Guiyou's prestige in Mongolia was not high, and the weight of Guiyou's queen was even less.

Hai Mi Lost wants to rely on Queen Guiyou's status to supervise the country like Queen Naimazhen. The key is that the two people are in different situations.

Empress Naimazhen was able to supervise the country because Wo Kuotai intended to give the Khan position to her grandson Shi Liemen during her lifetime, but did not pass it on to her son Guiyou.

If she wanted to transfer the position of Khan to her son Guiyou, Empress Naimazhen must go through the process of supervising the country.

In fact, Hai Mi Lost could have allowed her son to inherit the position of Khan, but she didn't, but chose to be the country supervisor herself.

In doing so, it should be because she has a very strong desire to gain power and wants to enjoy power. If her son is allowed to inherit the position of Khan, Hai Lost will at most be a queen mother, and it is impossible to take power.

Hai lost in the Mongolian state, in addition to legal reasons, it is also not allowed in terms of military power.

At present, the military power of Mongolia is mainly in the hands of Tuo Lei's descendants.

The army in Guiyou's hands is not very strong, and in the hands of Hai Misuo, there is even less military power.

In addition, Batu was extremely resentful towards Guiyu Khan, and this resentment was transferred to Hai Lost. Batu's army, together with the army of Tuo Lei's descendants, formed a crushing advantage over Hai Lost.

Hai Milo could not secure her position as the supervisor of Mongolia, not only because she had no legal basis and her military power was not strong, but also because she did not get support.

Even her three sons did not support it.

Hai Milu's sons are all adults. They don't think that Hai Milo wants them to inherit the throne of Great Khan, but Hai Milo wants to be the queen, so they set up another central government to fight against Hai Milo.

Not long after, Hucha established a center, and Naohu established another center. In fact, there are three centers in a country. How can there be chaos?Why is the power not torn apart?
The mother of Shi Liemen and others did not support it, thinking that Hai Lost was a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

Obviously Wo Kuotai designated Shiliemen as the successor of Da Khan, but Gui was snatched by his mother and son. Now Hai Milo set up Shiliemen, just wanting to supervise the country, not to give Khan the position of Shiliemen.

Finally, the ability of Hai Lost itself is limited, and there is no way to quickly win people's hearts and stabilize the situation, so that the civil strife in Mongolia continues.

Li Yongxuan still felt a little regretful when he learned that Guiyu did not start a war with Batu.

However, with the death of the Great Khan, it is presumed that the Mongolian Empire will once again fall into disputes, and a new round of competition for the position of the Great Khan will start. For the Song Dynasty, it is always a good thing.

Not long after, Li Yongxuan finally led the navy to land in Australia.

He chose a place that was relatively close to the coast and rich in mineral resources, built a city, and started to develop it.

There are many aborigines in Australia, but they did not pose a threat to the Song army, so Li Yongxuan ignored them, let alone enslaved and massacred them.

Building cities and mining minerals required manpower. In addition to hiring Australian aborigines, Li Yongxuan also planned to transport those prisoners of war.

Natives, if they are honest, they are hired; if they are dishonest, they are slaves.

Li Yongxuan left 2 people to build the city, and then led his army to attack Lu Song and Mayi, and returned to Lin'an after the capture.

With Southeast Asia and Australia as the backyard of the Song Dynasty, it was much easier to fight against the Mongolian army.

After several years of development, the Song Dynasty not only greatly expanded its territory, but also greatly improved its economic, military, and technological strength.

However, this was not enough. Li Yongxuan produced a large number of artillery, muskets, and warships to prepare for the war, and at the same time let the Song people do business and trade in the occupied Southeast Asia.

In order to facilitate the circulation of commerce, Li Yongxuan developed a brand-new paper currency to replace copper coins, silver coins, and gold for transactions.

At first, everyone was reluctant to use banknotes. When they discovered that banknotes could be exchanged for copper coins, silver coins, and gold in full amounts anytime, anywhere, they fell in love with banknotes.

Gradually, banknotes became popular everywhere, even in Southeast Asia and Australia.

Li Yongxuan also opened banks in various state capitals, and the territories he occupied also had branches.

It not only provided convenience for common people and merchants, but also greatly promoted the development of commerce and trade in various places.

With Li Yongxuan's endorsement, the banknotes were issued smoothly.

You know, Li Yongxuan said that he was exempt from taxes for three years, so he was really exempt from taxes.

If he wants to make money, he can just charge more taxes. There is no need to cheat everyone's money.

Seeing that the days are getting better and better, the soldiers and common people of the Song Dynasty worship and support Li Yongxuan even more.

They no longer have to worry about being slaughtered, burned, or looted by the Mongolian army. Since Li Yongxuan took control of the government, he not only drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, but also conquered Southeast Asia and Australia.

This is in stark contrast to the Southern Song court who just wanted to live in peace a few years ago.

In the past two years, people began to come out to persuade Li Yongxuan to take the position, and more and more people came out.

They were worried that once Li Yongxuan was overthrown, the Song Dynasty would immediately become precarious again and the people would suffer.

Some people also persuaded Emperor Song to take the throne and save his life, so that the Song Dynasty could be more prosperous.

Someone also helped out with an idea to let Li Yongxuan marry Princess Ruiguo, the daughter of Emperor Song, as his wife.

At that time, on the grounds that Emperor Song was seriously ill, he would pass on the throne to Li Yongxuan...

Some of these people are doing it for the sake of the dragon, some are sincerely thinking about the Song Dynasty, and so on.

Emperor Song was extremely panicked. He was always worried about when Li Yongxuan would add a yellow robe and become emperor.

Ever since Li Yongxuan led his army into Lin'an City, Emperor Song hadn't had a good night's sleep and was always afraid of being killed.

In the past two years, Li Yongxuan first drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, then quelled the civil strife in the court, and led his army to conquer the countries in Annan.

It can be said that both inside and outside the court hope that Li Yongxuan can take power.

Emperor Song thought that Li Yongxuan had sent someone to test him, but he neither agreed nor dared to refuse, lest he be killed.

After a few days of anxiety, someone proposed to marry Princess Ruiguo to Li Yongxuan.

Emperor Song hesitated for a while, then agreed.

Although he was reluctant to let his daughter marry Li Yongxuan, there was no other way, the situation was stronger than others.

What's more, my daughter will marry sooner or later, and marrying Li Yongxuan may be a guarantee.

On the other side, someone went to lobby Li Yongxuan, saying that Emperor Song wanted to marry his daughter Princess Ruiguo to him, and after the engagement, he took the initiative to take the Zen seat...

This is a bit like the son-in-law of the world's richest man and the vice president of the World Bank, purely fooling around.

When Li Yongxuan heard that Emperor Song was willing to take the initiative to take the throne, the prerequisite was that he marry Princess Ruiguo.

He thought for a moment and agreed.

Three days later, on an auspicious day, Li Yongxuan got engaged to Princess Ruiguo.

Princess Ruiguo is the only daughter of Song Emperor Zhao Yun, born to Concubine Jia Gui, who is less than eight years old.

Few people know Zhao Tuo's real life experience, not only Emperor Song, but almost everyone does not know that Zhao Tuo is the child of Li Yongxuan and Yan Guifei.

Princess Ruiguo is too young, so it's impossible for her to formally get married. After a formality, it's over.

After the engagement, Li Yongxuan vacated a courtyard for Princess Ruiguo, allowing her to live with the maid in attendance.

A few days later, on the first day of the new year, Emperor Song moved out of the imperial palace for his seat of Zen.

Li Yongxuan ascended to the throne as the new emperor, pardoned the world, changed the name of the country to Tian, ​​and the name of the year to Taiping, appointed the princess of Ruiguo as the queen, and accepted the six daughters of Xiaolongnv, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Wanyanping, Yeluyan, and Guo Fu as concubines... …

Gongsun Lue was in the deep valley, and he was officially married to Li Yongxuan, making her a concubine was not reasonable, so he simply didn't make it public.

No mention of Concubine Yan, no matter what, she is also Emperor Song's noble concubine in name.

If Li Yongxuan blatantly accepts Concubine Yan Gui as a concubine, he will inevitably be criticized in private.

After Yan Guifei received the news, she almost ran away.

She and Zhao Tuo left the palace and lived in a Taoist temple, thinking that they could inherit the throne smoothly, but they were all in vain.

If it weren't for Li Yongxuan's promise in advance, Zhao Tuo would be allowed to inherit the throne at that time, and Concubine Yan Gui, who was anxious to get angry, would have had a showdown with him long ago.

Why, other women have their status, but Yan Guifei wants to follow Li Yongxuan without a name.

Concubine Yan Gui didn't care about herself, but wanted to plan a good life for her son Zhao Tuo.

She knew that Li Yongxuan was serious about his promise, but she didn't believe that he would lie to her.

Li Yongxuan really didn't want to lie to Concubine Yan Gui, anyway, Zhao Tuo is also his biological son, it's not too much to give him the throne.

At this time, there are more than ten countries under his rule, and if he divides it into one randomly, what is it?
Not to mention, there are still many places that Li Yongxuan wants to conquer.

If Zhao Tuo performs well, give him a better place and become a local emperor.

If Zhao Tuo is too useless, just throw him in a garbage place and get rid of him.

Li Yongxuan decreed to dismiss all the maids in the palace, leaving only a few father-in-laws to serve, and use all the excess as waste.

On the one hand, he didn't want to waste human resources and raise a group of useless burdens; on the other hand, these people had served Emperor Song before, and it was better to send them out if they didn't like it.

As soon as the palace lady and father-in-law left, a minister proposed a draft on the back foot to enrich the harem for Emperor Li Yongxuan.

Li Yongxuan did not refuse, but reduced the number of people from thousands to 100.

In the final analysis, he, Xiaolongnv and others still need someone to serve them.
