Chapter 55: Foreign Policy


After Li Liangzuo quelled the rebellion without hiding Pang by thunderous means, the most important thing to do was to ease the relationship with the Song Dynasty, because Li Liangzuo led the troops to fight the Liao State so badly, so that Liao and Xia have become hostile, and the reason why the Liao State now chooses to make peace with Xia is not only afraid of the military strength of the Western Xia, but also the internal political instability.

Therefore, the most important thing for Li Liangzuo now is to get closer to the Song Dynasty as much as possible, in order to achieve the strategic goal of uniting the Song Dynasty to resist Liao in the future; But the problem is that the relationship between Song and Xia is not special.

Since there was no Tibetan Pang in charge of the Western Xia Dynasty, the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty were antagonistic relations, although the two countries did not have a big border battle with Chen Bing, but the small war has never been broken, for this reason the Song Dynasty stopped the tributary trade of the original Qingli Peace, and also closed the field opened on the border, so that the Western Xia domestic materials were scarce, and the people lived in poverty.

One of the final reforms of Li Liangzuo was to restore good relations with the Song Dynasty and restore trade between the two sides, so that the Western Xia could rely on the strong economy of the Song Dynasty to quickly restore their national strength; On the other hand, the Song Dynasty could also be used to bring the Liao State to the north, so that the Liao State did not dare to use troops against the Western Xia easily.

In recent days, Li Liangzuo has been thinking about how to restore relations with the Song Dynasty, for which Li Liangzuo was sad all day long, and no one was seen.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty."

A soft-spoken voice pulled Li Liangzuo back to reality.

Li Liangzuo looked back and said with a reluctant smile: "It turned out to be Concubine Ai, why didn't you rest here in the dormitory." ” "The concubine's body has almost recovered, and the imperial doctor said that you can't always stay in the room, let the concubine go out for a walk."

Liang Luoyao said softly to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo stepped forward and helped Liang Luoyao and said, "Let's go, let's go to the pavilion in front and sit back."

After the two of them sat down, Liang Luoyao asked Li Liangzuo: "The concubine looks at His Majesty's sad face, is there anything difficult in the court?"

"There is nothing that is going on in progress, but there is one thing that worries me very much," Li Liangzuo said with a sigh.

"What can Your Majesty say to your concubines, maybe the concubines will be able to come up with ideas for Your Majesty," Liang Luoyao said to Li Liangzuo with a smile.

Li Liangzuo said to Liang Luoyao: "Now the general trend of the world is basically that the Song, Liao, and Xia kingdoms inherited the essence of the Tang Dynasty, among which the Great Song Dynasty is the richest economically and the most powerful Liao in military terms, while my Great Xia Kingdom is in the northwest corner of An, surviving in the gap between the two great powers of Song and Liao; However, in recent years, it has been at odds with the Song and Liao countries successively, and now the poor people of the Great Xia State are weak and can barely protect themselves; In a battle a year ago, I defeated the Liao State, lost troops and lost generals, and now the emperor of the Liao State hates me to death, if it were not for the instability of the domestic political situation, I am afraid that he would have raised troops to retaliate; Therefore, I intend to join the Song Dynasty to resist Liao, but the problem is that the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty was also very tense during the reign of Pang, and it even invaded the land of the Great Song Dynasty in the west of the Quye River for nearly 100 miles, and our army even surrounded Linzhou.

After listening to Li Liangzuo's words, Liang Luoyao said with a smile: "It turns out that Your Majesty has always been worried about this matter, it seems that Your Majesty is really lost by the authorities." ” "Oh, what do you say about Concubine Ai," Li Liangzuo asked in surprise.

Li Liangzuo analyzed to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, I didn't hide the Pang faction army to invade Song Jing for nearly a hundred miles, but the Great Song Dynasty did not meet with our Great Xia soldiers, but instead sent people to reprimand and closed the field, which shows that the Great Song Emperor did not want to meet with our country's soldiers at all; Secondly, the occupation of the land west of the Quye River is not hidden in the period when Pang was in charge of the government, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty because it was not His Majesty's military order, and His Majesty has won a great victory in the war against Liao a few years ago, and now His Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty are asking for peace is a big victory, how can the Great Song Emperor disagree?"

Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "Concubine Ai is reasonable, but since you want to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, then I must also show sincerity, Concubine Ai, you have made a great contribution to me this time." ” "Your Majesty is wise and martial, what credit does the concubine have," Liang Luoyao said modestly.

"Come on, bring me the four treasures of the study."

Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "I said that Concubine Ai wrote a letter of state to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for me."

Li Liangzuo's words made Liang Luoyao very happy, because the amount of information contained in this sentence is too great, you can think about it Now that Liang Luoyao has written the national letter, will Liang Luoyao help deal with the government in the future "Yes, the concubine is ordered."

Liang Luoyao happily agreed, Li Liangzuo did not expect that his unintentional move would give birth to Liang Luoyao's political ambitions.

After the four treasures of the study room were taken, Li Liangzuo looked at the lake in the distance with his hands behind his back and said: "The lord of the small state of the lower country is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the Shutian Dynasty." ” After Li Liangzuo said this, Liang Luoyao didn't dare to write and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, why do you write this letter to the emperor of the Song Dynasty, isn't this too insulting to your identity, how can you say that you are also the king of a country?"

"Since they have all made peace with the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter if I want this bit of dignity and face, as long as I can join the Song Dynasty to fight against Liao, the rest is easy to say."

Li Liangzuo smiled and said.

Liang Luoyao saw that Li Liangzuo's attention had been decided, so he could only write according to what Li Liangzuo said, and Li Liangzuo's letter to the Great Song Emperor was generally as follows: His Majesty, the Lord of the Small States of the Lower Kingdom, to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the Heavenly Dynasty: Since the founding of the ancestors, generations have respected the Celestial Empire as the suzerain's country, the Zhengshuo of China, respected the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty as a monarch as a father, and the small states have guarded the frontier for the Celestial Empire for generations, and lived in the country of the vassals; However, when the ministers were young, they were ruled by the rebellious ministers and thieves, and repeatedly invaded the land of the Celestial Empire, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire was magnanimous and did not care, and the ministers were grateful; Now that the subordinates have suppressed the rebellion and returned to the state affairs, His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty has returned the land occupied by the thieves to occupy the land of the Quye River west of the Celestial Empire, and rebuilt the Qingli Covenant for the two countries.

Although the emperor of the Celestial Empire has taken pity on the people of the vassal kingdom to reopen the tributary trade, and reopen the field on the border between the two countries, so that the two countries can communicate culturally and economically Forgive Zuo from the border and poor places to worship His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Li Liangzuo wrote thousands of words on the letter to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the core is one meaning anyway: Now that I am in power, I want to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and now I can't open the pot for the poor here, you are the Heavenly Empire and have everything, you can pity me and reward me with something, let's do some business so that I can be self-sufficient, so that you don't have to give me alms.

In order to be able to make the Great Song Dynasty agree to ask for peace, it can be said that the identity can be lowered as low, and after the national book is completed, someone will send it to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Wechen Meets Your Majesty" "Uncle Huang is exempt," Li Liangzuo said with a smile to Brother Ningling; "I came to Uncle Huang today to ask Uncle Huang to go to the Great Song Dynasty to worship the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."
