A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the afternoon of the next day, a group of sergeants escorted the Song Dynasty envoy into the palace.

Tang Ren was watching the flow of people on the street, feeling the atmosphere secretly.

He hoped to feel the tension, but those pedestrians either looked sad or looked natural, as if the turmoil in May had never happened.

Arriving all the way to the palace, seeing the orderliness, Tang Ren sighed slightly in his heart, and his evaluation of Li Liangzuo became even higher.

The banquet was held in a spacious palace. After everyone sat down, there were Xixia officials as guests.

"Wei Ming Yu Zheng?"

Tang Ren stood up and saluted, and the Xixia official opposite said with a smile: "That's right, Your Majesty ordered me to accompany you, and then I will follow your envoy to the Song Dynasty."

Tang Ren looked at him carefully and said seriously: "Why does someone say he looks familiar? It turns out to be his aura!"

There was some envy in his tone, and Wei Ming Yuzheng asked in confusion: "What kind of aura does someone have on his body?"

Tang Ren sighed: "I have only felt this kind of aura from Zaifu. I didn't expect to meet you in Xixia today. What a fate!"

Xixia worships Buddhism, so the mention of Tang Ren's fate made Wei Mingyu Zheng couldn't help but nod his head and said: "It's just fate."

The two then started a friendly conversation.

After the greetings were finished, Wei Ming Yuzheng said: "It turns out that there was a conflict between Wu Zang and Da Song. This was something your Majesty did not want to see, but... alas! It is our country's misfortune to have such a powerful minister. Now your Majesty has regained control. Right, the first thing I want to do is to restore old friendship with the Song Dynasty..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Ren.

What does the Song Dynasty mean to Xixia?

Little did he know that Tang Ren was in shock at this moment.

Last year, Shen An analyzed the situation in Xixia for him: If Pang was in power, there would be many conflicts. He would use the war with the Song Dynasty to ease the conflicts in the country, and even send those who opposed it to the battlefield to let them go. Da Song came to kill them.

And if Li Liangzuo comes to power, he will definitely show goodwill to the Song Dynasty because his footing is not stable and he needs a stable development environment.

Waiting for the imperial edict, you are absolutely right!

Shen An also said later, don't have any hope for the Xixia people. It doesn't matter if they are being hypocritical or taking advantage of the opportunity. Anyway, if there is any benefit, just talk nonsense, and if it doesn't, ignore it.

This is a realistic foreign policy, but it suits Tang Ren very much.

He moved forward slightly and said with a smile: "Qu Yehe..."

What about Qu Yehe of the Song Dynasty?

Where is the place you took away?

Weiming Yuzheng smiled and said: "This matter can be discussed, but can the market be reopened?"

Tang Ren shook his head and nodded, and said with regret: "It was not hidden that Pang raised troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and the government and the public were furious. If we reopen the war at this time, I am afraid that the prime ministers and ministers will be scolded as traitors..."

You are bragging!

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty would not care about the public opinions. He is just afraid of me, Xixia.

Weiming Yuzheng sneered: "If you refuse to open up the land for sale and return the cultivated land in Quye River... Your Majesty will also be stabbed in the back!"

Both sides are evenly matched and neither side is willing to give in.

The officials of the Song Dynasty envoy felt that this matter should not be dealt with by themselves. After the Xixia envoy went to Bianliang, naturally the ministers and ministers would come to challenge him.

At this moment, the entire Song Dynasty despised the Xixia people and felt that they were a group of rebellious people. So they don't care about this at all.

As for Quye River, the Song Dynasty did not need that little cultivated land, so what was it going to do?

They felt that Tang Ren wanted to use Qu Yehe's old land as a bargaining chip in exchange for the goodwill of the Xixia people, so that everyone would contribute when he returned.

Just as they were full of confidence, Tang Ren's smile gradually faded, and he said coldly: "I remember that the Liao people seem to be thinking about the land in Hexi? And the Tubo people also seem to be coveting that place..."

Wei Ming Yuzheng's eyes narrowed and he took a breath, "You..."

"Would you like to know how someone knew?"

Tang Ren said with a smile: "The Liao people want to join forces with the Song Dynasty...the purpose..."

You know, if the Song Dynasty really joins forces with the Liao people, Xixia will have no choice but to kneel down.

The Liao people had coveted that place in Hexi for a long time. Everyone knew this. Tang Ren took advantage of the situation and cheated, but Weiming Yuzheng changed his color.

This is not because the city government is not enough, but because Xixia has experienced Wu Zangpang's rebellion, it needs to purge the rebels internally, and Li Liangzuo still needs to fully grasp power. All of this will take time...

In order to buy time, temporary compromise will also be one of Li Liangzuo's choices.

Tang Ren believed in Shen An's judgment, but was still a little uneasy.

He pretended not to care and looked at Wei Ming Yuzheng, and said with a smile: "Isn't the King of Xixia coming yet?"

Wei Ming Yuzheng lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly said: "Qu Yehe... it's not that we can't negotiate, it's just... Your Majesty is in the age of marriage, how about Princess Shang Da Song?"

Marry a Song Dynasty princess?

This was an unexpected question, but Tang Ren responded immediately: "This matter needs to be decided by the officials themselves."

Wei Mingyu nodded, and then someone outside shouted: "Your Majesty is here..."

Li Liangzuo came and looked very calm.

Then comes the banquet, in which beef and mutton are the staple food.

Li Liangzuo remained silent until the end of the banquet. He just stopped in front of Tang Ren on his way out.

"I heard that an official in the Song Dynasty was dissatisfied with Xixia?"

The interpreter translated it.

Tang Ren stood up and held up his hands, and asked in confusion: "I wonder who the King of Xixia is talking about."

Li Liangzuo turned his head to look at Wei Ming Yuzheng and said, "What is it called? Shen..."

Weiming Yuzheng said: "Shen An, this person has been madly attacking our country since he entered the officialdom, and later even in Fuzhou... This person used the corpses of my Xixia warriors to build a capital temple... He is so cruel."

Li Liangzuo snorted, and then said seriously: "If the Song Dynasty wants to have good relations with Xixia for generations, these people should be deposed."

He looked at Tang Ren calmly.

Is it actually for Jingguan?

Tang Ren remembered a saying, his enemies are my heroes.

Yes, the Xixia people are ferocious and barbaric. In the past, the Song Dynasty was afraid of this kind of ferocity, and the Xixia people were also proud of it.

But now a more ferocious guy appeared in the Song Dynasty. The Xixia people felt uneasy, so they wanted to exert pressure.

But will the officials accept this pressure?

Tang Ren shook his head and said: "I am afraid that the King of Xixia has some misunderstandings... Shen Taizhao won the trust of the officials and deposed him? That is impossible. This time he goes to the southwest, the people of Jiaozhi will probably cry... There will definitely be There will be one more grand temple in Beijing, I have no doubt about it.”

He raised his head slightly, with a slightly flattering smile on his lips. But this flattering smile has more meaning in the eyes of Xixia people.

Song people are not afraid of us!

Jingguan, that will make the warriors sad and make them afraid to face the guy who is called the Demon King.

They fear that their souls will never return.

That cruel guy! Why not die yet.

Li Liangzuo looked at Tang Ren steadily, his eyes gradually becoming cold.

Tang Ren was still smiling, his back straight.

When you are on a mission, you represent the Song Dynasty. Even if you die, you cannot bow your head. Even if they break your legs and slag you with bones, you still have to stand up straight!

This was Shen An's instructions and expectations for him, and Tang Ren vowed to abide by it.

So in front of this seemingly dull but actually cruel King of Xixia, he held his head proudly, as if he was meeting the leader of a tribe.

Li Liangzuo's stiffness gradually melted away, and he nodded slightly and said: "After your noble envoy returns, he will convey to me your respect for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and my sincerity in hoping that the two countries will be friendly for generations..."

Tang Ren smiled and said: "I will definitely report to His Majesty the King of Xixia's words verbatim."

Here he used a report, implying that Li Liangzuo was Zhao Zhen's subordinate.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "If the marriage can happen, the two countries will be relatives. That would be the best."

Until this moment, he still regarded his marriage as a bargaining chip, instead of immediately supporting his old lover Liang.

This is a Xixia king with great ambitions, and he is calmer than Li Yuanhao, but his martial arts skills are far inferior, otherwise he will inevitably become the number one enemy of the Song Dynasty.

After returning to the post house, everyone entered Tang Ren's room in tacit agreement.

"Watch the outside and don't let the Xixia people get close."

Someone hurriedly explained, then turned around and said: "Chengzhi, why are you so confident? Why is Li Liangzuo so polite?"

"We are friendly with Wu Zangyu Pang. Li Liangzuo should establish his authority! Why are we so friendly?"

"He even wanted to marry the princess. This is a sign that Song Dynasty has good intentions towards him. Why is this?"

"..."

A group of subordinates rushed to ask questions. Judging from their unbearable looks, it was clear that they had been holding back for a long time and would go crazy if they didn't get answers.

Tang Ren sighed and said, "You must think this is someone's ability, right?"

"Of course it's your ability. Ever since you arrived in Xixia, you have been as stable as a mountain. Even if the Xixia people ignored us, we didn't panic. If it's not your ability, could it be ours? Hahahaha... Ugh!"

The laughter stopped abruptly when Tang Ren shook his head. UU reading www.uukkanshu． net

"no?"

"of course not."

Tang Ren showed admiration in his eyes and sighed: "Shen Taizhao judged the changes in Xixia last year, saying that he did not hide Pang to do important things but cherished his own life, and was indecisive. Sooner or later, he will pay the price..."

Someone asked: "Did he know last year that Pang's rebellion would fail if he didn't hide it? Isn't this amazing?"

"Why not?"

Tang Ren said: "Last year, Taizhao told him not to underestimate Li Liangzuo. He is quite skillful. The Xixia envoy who went to the Song Dynasty last year was Li Liangzuo's confidant, so he looked for an opportunity to tell him that he should be careful not to hide any lies. If Pang Mou is rebellious, it’s best to have an informant in his house...Who knew that Li Liangzuo actually hooked up with Mr. Liang, how about this spy?"

So that’s it?

It turns out that you have shown goodwill to Li Liangzuo a long time ago!

No, it was Shen An who had long seen that Li Liangzuo was bound to win, so Tang Ren took the risk to warn him.

But Li Liangzuo was so capable that he turned his cousin-in-law into an eyeliner and even made her belly bigger.

Tang Ren praised: "Taizhao has a keen eye. Li Liangzuo looks majestic today, but every move he makes is based on Daizhao's speculation... Including that he now wants to have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, and Daizhao has already predicted it..."

Everyone looked at each other, "This Shen Taizhao is too...could he be a god?"

"No, it's far-sighted..."
