My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 337 Xixia's Provocation

Wang Lin felt a headache.

In fact, he hasn't fully figured it out yet.

How to arrange Wanyan Shili.

But he knew that the reason why Zhu Lian asked must be the meaning of the girls.

In any case, it can no longer be avoided.

Otherwise, his backyard would literally catch fire.

Wang Lin tentatively asked, "Send her back?"

"My lord..." Zhu Lian said angrily, "What are you talking about? You don't want that Princess of the Kingdom of Jin, don't you want your own flesh and blood?"

Wang Lin said again: "Then, after giving birth to a child, let her go back to the country?"

Zhu Lian was speechless.

She knew that Wang Lin was "babbling nonsense" and was teasing her.

"My lord... In fact, I know that Maode and the others are sensitive, mainly because of her status. If the lord doesn't...it's easy to deal with. But I'm worried that the government will give you a marriage."

Wang Lin thought in his heart that the gift of marriage is inevitable.

Given the Zhao Song court's fear of Jinren, Zhao Ji would definitely marry Wanyan Shili to him in the form of good relations between the two countries.

And [-]% will give Wanyan Shili a high political status, and basically will definitely rank ahead of Zhao Fujin.

It is even possible to replace Han Yan as the wife.

Of course, Wang Lin would definitely not allow this to happen.

He is now thinking about another problem.

Given that he is currently in charge of the military power in the Song Dynasty, and his position is high and powerful, since the Jin people already have the intention of invading the Song Dynasty, it seems that they should not send Wanyan Shili, who is pregnant and waiting to give birth, to the Song Dynasty.

Instead, he should be held hostage to blackmail him.

But the Jinren didn't do that.

Presumably there must be some unknown disputes in the middle.

Seeing him groaning silently, Zhu Lian didn't dare to say anything, she just lay tenderly in his arms, letting his hands go back and forth on her body...massaging.

After a long time, Wang Lin smiled lightly and said, "Lian'er, tell Yan'er how many of them are there some time. I only know her name is Wanyan Shili. As for her status as a princess, since she came to Song Kingdom, she should give up everything in the past."

Zhu Lian was overjoyed, knowing that this was Wang Lin's promise, at least it meant that he would not let Wanyan Shili ride on Zhao Fujin's head no matter what.

Wang Lin wondered: "Lian'er, why are you so happy? What does this have to do with you?"

Zhu Lian blushed and said in embarrassment: "I don't feel good about letting a woman of a foreign race surpass my Great Song Emperor Ji."

Wang Lin smiled and said nothing more.

He knew that Zhao Fujin and the others really cared about this.

They were worried that because of Wanyan Shili's existence, Wang Lin would favor the Kingdom of Jin.And in their hearts, there is also the so-called sense of superiority of those heavenly kingdoms over barbarians...

Yan Qing shouted loudly in the courtyard: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are asking to see you."

After a long time, Wang Lin's lazy voice came: "Xiao Yi, come in."

Yan Qing came in to pay respects, and first talked about the situation of the three of Han Shizhong in the army.

Sure enough, as Wang Lin expected, after seeing the formation of Qingzhou Army's strong soldiers Ma Zhuang and Wang Lin's fierce generals like rain, especially after being defeated by Lu Junyi with an unprecedented crushing posture, the attitudes of the three changed drastically.

Wang Lin smiled, and stopped paying attention to these three people, and asked again: "Where is the imperial mission?"

Yan Qing bowed and said: "Go back to your lord, the censor Guo Zhishun has led a mission to Zizhou, and they will arrive in Qingzhou tomorrow."

"Where's the golden man?"

"The Jinren are very interested in our coastal defense fortress and are visiting the front line of Denglai."

Wang Lin sneered: "It's just to spy on our army's real situation, so I sent an order to order the Jinren Mission to come to Qingzhou immediately, without delay along the way.

However, don't come directly, take them to Mizhou, then follow the South Road to Yizhou and Jinanfu, and make a big circle. "

Yan Qing smiled, knowing that Wang Lin didn't want the Jin Ren to spy on the real route from the coastline to Qingzhou.

Wang Lin hesitated, and then said: "Wanyan Shili is pregnant, it's not suitable to run around, so let someone secretly bring her to Qingzhou in advance."

"When it comes to our territory, everything cannot be controlled by the Jinren."

Yan Qing took the order, remembered another matter, and said: "There is news from the capital that the officials have released all the older maids in the palace recently, and it looks like there are five or six hundred people released."

Wang Lin said with a chuckle: "Our official finally understands how much money it will cost to raise such a large group of people in the palace. The imperial treasury is now empty, and the internal treasury has no money. It is wise for him to do so. Besides..."

Wang Lin did not continue.

But in fact, Yan Qing had already guessed Zhao Ji's privacy that he couldn't give up.

"There are two more things that need to be reported to the prince."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Yan Qing stroked his train of thought and said, "First, Yelu Dashi, whom the prince asked his subordinates to pay attention to, was captured after the defeat, and was killed by Wanyan Zongwang because he offended Wanyan Zongwang."

Wang Lin opened his mouth, but then signaled Yan Qing to continue talking.

"Secondly, the King of Xixia proclaimed himself a minister to the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, and will be a brotherly state forever. At the same time, he also sent an envoy to our court, wanting to make peace with the Song Dynasty, and the Crown Prince of Xixia asked for marriage by name..."

When Yan Qing said this, she hesitated slightly.

Wang Lin frowned: "Just say it."

Yan Qing bowed and said, "Xi Xia begs to marry the Chongde Emperor Ji..."

Wang Lin's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "How will the imperial court respond?"

"Of course the imperial court refuted it, saying that Emperor Chongde's concubine had already been married to the prince... But Xixia secretly threatened him with the excuse of joining the Jin Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty. My dear..."

Wang Lin got up slowly, and said with a sneer, "This is an obvious provocation! Don't these bastards of the imperial court understand that sending a woman to marry a barbarian state is deceitful?! Damn it!!"

"I didn't expect the Xixia people to jump out at this time..."

Wang Lin pondered.

Yelu Dashi died, which is another historical detail change.

Of course, Wang Lin knew in his heart that the death of Yelu Dashi might have something to do with the luck he had taken away.

And Yelu Dashi died, which means that the future Xiliao will be gone.

And if there is no Xiliao, the strategic buffer value of Xixia will be completely lost.

Originally, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, and the Western Xia Dynasty were three pillars, which was somewhat similar to the Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, the breaking of this balance began with the rise of the Kingdom of Jin.

What is strange is that after the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, it did not attack the weaker Xixia, so that Xixia coexisted with Jin for a long time.

Wang Lin always believed that the Jin people did not attack Xixia, not because the Jin people were kind, but because the Xiliao established by Yelu Dashi posed a great threat to Jin, and Xixia was a buffer between the two countries.

It's a bit like Outer Mongolia as a strategic buffer between China and Russia.

Now it is not surprising that the Xixia people pay tribute to the Jin people. After all, the Jin people are at the height of the sun and far stronger than the Song Dynasty.

However, the people of Xixia turned their heads at both sides. On the one hand, they showed kindness to Jin, and on the other hand, they threatened Song Dynasty in an attempt to provoke a war between the two countries. Isn’t this a pretentious provocation?
"What's the situation in Xixia?" Wang Lin asked again.

Yan Qing said: "Western Xia sent [-] troops to the border with the Song Dynasty, threatening Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou, Hadong Baguan, and Zhenwu City. As long as Zhenwu City is broken, it will attack Xi'an Prefecture, Jianning Village and Huaide Army in Linzhou pose a deadly threat."

Wang Lin shot up angrily: "People who are not of our race must have a different heart. I didn't expect that the Jin people have not shown their fangs yet, but the Xixia people jumped three feet first."

"Little Yi, keep an eye on the movements of the Xixia people, and report to me anytime, anywhere!"

……

Meanwhile, Tokyo.

Li Ren'ai, the son of Emperor Li Ganshun of the Xixia Dynasty, took the pseudonym Li Tian, ​​and personally led the Xixia Mission in the capital.

After hearing that Zhao Fujin, the Princess Chongde of the Great Song Dynasty, whom he wanted to marry, had been bestowed by the Great Song Dynasty Emperor to marry Wang Lin, the King of Qi, as his concubine, Li Renai said to Meng Ke, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, "My lord Meng, the emperor of our country His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admires Empress Maode very much, and asked Lord Meng to recite the song to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, please don't refuse."

Meng Ke was angry in his heart. Chen Bing was at the border with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He used this as a threat to come to Tokyo to marry the married emperor concubine. This was a provocation to Song Chiguoguo.

But the Liao Dynasty is gone, and the Jin people are watching. Under the current situation, the Song Dynasty really cannot accept the enemy.

Therefore, Meng Ke suppressed his anger and said: "Emissary Xia, I am married to the King of Qi, and it is really difficult to obey. In view of the friendship between the two countries, the officials hereby grant permission to give the Emperor Chongde and her relative Xixia..."

Li Ren'ai smiled lightly and said, "What about marriage? It's just a divorce.

Left and right, my royal highness will not marry a non-maiden emperor concubine.Otherwise, once the two countries mobilize swordsmen, and I, Daxia and Jin join forces and attack Song in the south, what will happen to Song?Is it worth raising an army for a mere woman? "

Meng Ke was trembling with anger.

This is already an open threat, and there is no need to cover it up.

Meng Ke left with a flick of his sleeves.

After Meng Ke left, a middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance and still charming charm turned out from the back hall of the post house. She said indifferently: "My son, how are you?"

Li Ren'ai bowed and said: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, my son will definitely let the Song emperor submit. If he dares not to obey, I will raise up soldiers and take the opportunity to take the thousands of miles of Hexi!"

The woman's voice trembled a little: "The golden man destroys my homeland, and we are incompatible with my Khitan! But this Wang Lin, how dare he fall into trouble, take away more than a hundred people from my royal family including the empress of Daliao, and the princess of the Daliao Dynasty, and take away the jade seal of my inheritance, insult I, Empress and Princess of Daliao, are extremely hateful!"

"This time, my son will take away his wife and family, let's see what he dares to do?! If I don't let out such a bad breath, I will die for my mother!"

This woman is the daughter of the clan of the Liao people, named Princess Cheng'an.

The first queen of Xixia Emperor Li Ganshun, Yelu Nanxian.

……

Yanfu Palace.Royal study.

Wu Min, Li Gang and other important officials in the court stood quietly in the second class. When they heard Meng Ke's report, Zhao Ji was furious.

But after he got angry for a long time, he finally calmed down.

Li Gangdao: "Officials, the Xixia people are obviously taking advantage of the fire to loot, stationing [-] troops on our border, and even threatening in every possible way when they come to Beijing, asking to marry Emperor Maode's concubine by name. Indulge in the arrogance of Xixia, and when you refute it, order Liu Yanqing to immediately prepare the army for war!"

Wu Min also said: "Officials, the Xixia people have ulterior motives, marriage is fake, provoking war is real, and we must not condone it, otherwise we will destroy the power of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The corners of Zhao Ji's mouth trembled a bit: "However, the national treasury of our Great Song Dynasty is empty, and the Jin people are watching. If we fight with Xixia again, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!"

"Left and right are just marriages. As long as I approve, he will have no reason to raise troops. Pass the edict, and order Chongde Diji to marry Xixia in the name of Maode Diji, and marry the Xixia Crown Prince!"

Li Gang's complexion changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Officials, absolutely not!"
