Chapter 674 Your country lord finally agreed? (first update)
Chapter 683

Seeing Ren Duo Zongbao leave the hall without stopping, Wei Ming Ah Wu cursed a few more times, then left angrily.

Li Qianshun, who had already returned to the palace, naturally someone reported the conversation between the two to his ears. Hearing the scolding between the two, he was using a brush to practice the outrageously complicated Xixia script. There was a sudden meal.

Li Qianshun's gaze suddenly turned cold. "It seems that Ren Duoqing is the real loyal minister. Before, I misunderstood his name, Ah Wu."

"Okay, you guys have fixed my name, Ah Wu, who he's going to see these days, and try to find out for me, understand?" Li Qianshun's eyes fell on the head of the guard.

After the head guard respectfully accepted the order and left, Li Qianshun still had the energy to practice calligraphy. He put down his pen irritably, sat aside, thought about it for a long time, and simply asked the eunuch to find Renduo Zong to protect him immediately.

After all this was done, Li Qianshun still couldn't calm down, he was still restless, like a trapped animal, he continued to walk around in the bedroom.

#####
In a short time, Renduo Zongbao hurried over, saluted respectfully, and waited for Li Qianshun to speak.

"Your Excellency Ren Duo, please explain to me carefully the conditions proposed by the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty." Li Qianshun asked straightforwardly without delay.

"Your Majesty, there are seven conditions for Beiliao. The first is that Xixia should be a vassal to Beiliao; He said the conditions given by Beiliao one by one.

Every time he heard one, Li Qianshun's eyebrows twitched. However, he was slightly relieved that the conditions in Beiliao seemed to be harsh, but the problem was that they did not hurt the foundation of Xixia.

In terms of the amount of money requested, it will not hurt Xixia, but there is one thing, the land, Beiliao has taken a fancy to the land of Hetao occupied by Xixia.

For more than a hundred years since the founding of Xixia, there is Yanzhou in the south and Hetao in the north. These two places are the largest sources of taxation in Xixia. More importantly, the land of Hetao has thousands of miles of fertile soil and fertile water and grass. It is most suitable for grazing .

There are three grazing lands in Xixia, one is the grassland between Jianing Junsi and Yanzhou in the south, one is the large plateau grassland westward from Xingqing Mansion, and the other is the Hetao area.

The grasslands of the Jianing Army and Yanzhou can be regarded as the smallest grazing areas, which can only accommodate 30 million head of livestock, while the plateau grasslands in Hetao and west of Xingqing Prefecture are much wider.

But the problem is that although the plateau grassland in the west of Xingqing Prefecture is also very vast, it is not suitable for planting. On the contrary, the small grazing area of ​​Jianing Army Division and the Hetao area are good for both farming and grazing place.

But now, the Yanzhou and Jianing military divisions have been lost, and this pastoral area has been lost, but fortunately, the Hetao is still there. With the Hetao, Xixia still has the capital to recover.

As for the seizure of Yanzhou, the Yanchi was completely lost to the Song Dynasty, but Xixia can still collect salt from the salt lake on the grassland west of Xingqing Mansion. Although the journey is much farther away, it will not cause Xixia to worry about salt shortage. .

"The size of the Hetao land cannot be compromised. If the Hetao is lost, we, Xixia, will have no foundation to build a country." After hearing this, Li Qianshun said firmly.

Ren Duo Zongbao's heart shuddered, and he respectfully accepted the order.Li Qianshun said while thinking. "As for other conditions, they can be discussed, but I also have one condition, that is, I hope the Liao Kingdom will come forward and persuade the Song Kingdom to stop the war with Daxia. There is also the release of prisoners of war..."

"As for the land occupied by the Song Kingdom, if we can get it back, we will, but this possibility is really too low... But it's okay, when I return to the peak of Daxia in the future, I will take it myself. "

Ren Duo Zongbao quickly fell to the ground. "Your Majesty's dragon prestige is rare in the world. At that time, I am willing to be your majesty's first pawn."

"Ren Duoqing please hurry up, the country is in danger of overthrow, I hope you can help me, in the future, I will never forget the Renduo clan." Li Qianshun hurriedly helped Renduo Zongbao up, and said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I'm a mess, I will definitely repay Your Majesty for your kindness. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, then I will go find the Liao envoy." Renduo Zongbao nodded solemnly and replied.

"Don't worry, there is one more thing. I'll trouble you to transfer my marriage letter to the Liao envoy... This can be regarded as my sincerity to the Liao Kingdom." Li Qianshun beckoned, and soon, an eunuch brought it A wooden box was respectfully handed over to Naren Duo Zongbao.

Renduo Zongbao couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Your Majesty, with this marriage certificate, I will be more confident. In this way, Beiliao will definitely fully support your Majesty."

"Well, let's go, I hope to hear the good news about you, Ren Duoqing, when the time comes, go to the wedding envoy of the Liao Kingdom, see who is suitable, and let me know."

After watching the joyful Ren Duo Zongbao leave, Li Qianshun let out a long breath, leaned back on the couch tiredly, narrowed his eyes and began to calculate.

As long as I marry the daughter of the clan from the Northern Liao Dynasty, in this way, if the various clans in the country disagree and want to establish another king, even if I am weak, all the clans must first settle down. Weigh the consequences of angering Beiliao.

After I get married, I will consolidate my rights, and my position as the king will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai. At that time, when Da Xia regains her vitality, I will make more calculations.

#####
"Your lord agreed to my Daliao's conditions?" Xiao Donghe, the envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty, saw the marriage letter delivered by Ren Duozong's guarantee, and couldn't help being stunned.

Before, although Li Qianshun also intentionally agreed to the intermarriage with Beiliao, this Li Qianshun wanted to be a real princess.Not the daughter of the clan, after all, in Li Qianshun's eyes, the daughter of the clan is at best a princess.

Compared with the princess, it's a big difference. Beiliao's actions are like looking at his courtiers, which makes him very unhappy.

It is precisely because of this that the marriage contract has been delayed for a long time, and it never occurred to him that suddenly, the Xixia king actually figured it out by himself.

I'm afraid that here, it should have a lot to do with Xixia's defeat in another battle.Of course, Xiao Donghe, the envoy of Northern Liao Dynasty, did not say anything out loud, but carefully received the marriage letter with a smile, and then began to treasure it, so that it could be sent to the imperial capital of Northern Liao Dynasty in due course.

"Lord Zongbao, it's your Majesty who came here this time, has he made up his mind?" Seeing that the marriage certificate had been put away, Xiao Donghe breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile as he looked at Renduo Zongbao in front of him.

"Except for the fourth item, other issues can be discussed." Ren Duo Zongbao took a deep breath and looked sharply at the negotiating opponent.
