"Okay," Song Shenzong said helplessly; "Then I'll go for a walk."
Wang Anshi said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, since it is a Huimeng, since Emperor Xia invited us to go to the Huimeng, it is natural that we will make certain concessions, and Your Majesty just takes advantage of this opportunity to strive for more benefits for my Great Song Dynasty." \ "What does Aiqing say, just say it" "Your Majesty, when my Great Song Dynasty signed an agreement with the Xia Kingdom, allowing the Xia Kingdom to sell innocent salt to my Great Song Dynasty, but over the years, the Xia Kingdom has not sold it in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, and its number has increased several times, and now the innocent salt of the Xia Kingdom has almost monopolized the salt industry in Guanzhong, Hexi, and Hedong, and can earn millions of taels of silver from the above areas every year, and most of the innocent salt is smuggled and sold at a low price, and the white salt is of high quality in sea salt regardless of color and taste, and the salt industry of our dynasty will be severely hit in the long run; The salt tax is an important source of revenue for the imperial court, and His Majesty can use this alliance to ask Emperor Xia to stop selling the salt of our Great Song Dynasty, and to crack down on salt dealers in Guanzhong, Hexi, Hedong and other places."
"Aiqing is reasonable, I have written it down, I will talk to Emperor Xia about these issues when the alliance is met."
"It can't be talked about, Your Majesty must let Emperor Xia make concessions, it is best to even exempt the annual coin, today's Great Song is no longer the Great Song of the past, relying on the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty can completely strive for the status of the leader of the Three Kingdoms" "Alliance leader," Song Shenzong was stunned for a moment and said; "Wang Aiqing, you're not joking with me, this meeting was organized by Emperor Xia, isn't it a bit noisy for me to do this?"
"Your Majesty, looking at today, is there a second person who can serve as the leader of the alliance besides Your Majesty?"
I have to say that Wang Anshi's sycophant shot is quite good, the shooting of Song Shenzong is very comfortable, the next day Song Shenzong summoned Yang Shousu to express his opinion that he will go to the alliance, for Yang Shousu, it is not easy to persuade Song Shenzong to go in person, Song Shenzong has agreed to go, and it is much easier to leave one Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, after all, Liao is now the weakest of the three kingdoms.
After leaving Bianliang, Yang Shousu rushed to the capital of the Liao State in Beijing Dading Mansion, now for Yang Shousu time is the most precious, but Yang Shousu did not expect that Yelu Hongji agreed on the spot, Rongcheng Alliance has been going very smoothly so far, in fact, whether it is Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, Song Emperor Zhao Xu, Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji are all in their hearts with their own little calculations, after all, there are only interests between countries, not to mention that they will be the monarch of the country for themselves.
After the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji promised to meet the alliance, Yang Shousu did not go back to restore his life, but chose to go to Rongcheng, as the location of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the safety of Rongcheng is very important, because the emperors of Xia, Song and Liao are going to come here, so the security work of Rongcheng is not allowed to be the slightest difference, Yang Shousu and the ministers in charge of the Song and Liao countries decided to divide Rongcheng into three parts, respectively, the three armies are responsible for stationing, Xia temporarily lives in the west, the Great Song Dynasty temporarily lives in the south, and the Liao State temporarily lives in the north, and a sacrificial roof will be built in the center of Rongcheng.
The emperors of the Three Kingdoms will worship heaven and earth here.
Among the emperors of the Three Kingdoms, the first to set off was the Song Emperor Zhao Xu, for Zhao Xu, this meeting is very important, but Zhao Xuan is also quite important to security, in order to protect his own safety, Zhao Xuguang Imperial Forest Army brought more than 10,000 people to escort, and at the same time, tens of thousands of troops were prepared in the hundreds of miles south of Rongcheng.
Song Shenzong walked very leisurely on the way, starting from Tokyo Bianliang Song Shenzong took a boat all the way through the Grand Canal to go directly north to Rongcheng, there is no need to take the land route on this way, which also reflects the logistics supply capacity of the Great Song Dynasty from the side, even today everyone knows that water transportation is much better than land transportation, and the cost performance is relatively high; This was especially true in ancient times, if the Song army went north, the Great Song Dynasty could rely on the Grand Canal as the blood transfusion artery of the northbound army, and transport the materials of the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Huguang and even Sichuan to the north through the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal.
The worst thing to go should be Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo is thousands of miles away from Rongcheng, and he has to ride a horse along the way, but this is nothing to Li Liangzuo, after all, Li Liangzuo is also an emperor on horseback, in order to show his sincerity Li Liangzuo only took a thousand horses to go, on the way Li Liangzuo was not idle, in order to understand the situation of the northern grassland, Li Liangzuo deliberately went around to Zhenzhou, to inspect the situation of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, today's grassland is much better than before, Because of Li Liangzuo's investment in the grassland over the years, the life of the grassland herdsmen is simply a paradise that he did not dare to imagine in the past, and Li Liangzuo has been warmly welcomed by the herdsmen wherever he has passed.
Today's grassland population is growing rapidly, and here has basically completed Li Liangzuo's vision, the central grassland has become the cradle of the Xia cavalry, here for the Great Xia country to breed a large number of war horses and knights, compared to the Central Plains, the northern grassland people have a natural advantage, they grew up on horseback, each has excellent riding skills, these young men can grow into a qualified warrior in the future.
Before Li Liangzuo arrived, Xiao Tzulin, King of Boliao, Li Bo, King of Bohai and other princes and kings also arrived, but the Jurchen King Wanyan Hanpu did not arrive, but sent his second son Wanyan Hulu to come, which made Li Liangzuo very unhappy, and what the Jurchen Kingdom has done over the years has gradually exceeded Li Liangzuo's patience Rongcheng, in Li Liangzuo's palace; Li Liangzuo asked Yang Shousu: "How is Yang Aiqing's preparation?"
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, Emperor Song and Emperor Liao will arrive tomorrow morning."
Yang Shousu said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "This meeting is a big deal, and the safety work must be foolproof, a little carelessness may cause a big war, so it's better to be careful." ” "Wechen understands that Wechen is fully prepared" "Your Majesty, the King of Boliao and the King of Bohai are asking to see you," an envoy came in and reported.
"Let them in" "Your Majesty has a decree to announce the audience of the King of Boliao and the King of Bohai" "Little King Xiao Tart Rin Li Bo to meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Two Lovers Free Courtesy" "Your Majesty" After the two of them took their seats, Li Liangzuo said to the two: "The two Aiqing have worked hard to guard Liaodong and Liaoxi for many years, and the two of you have done a good job, and I am very relieved."
"It's the duty of a subordinate" "The two Aiqing are anxious to see me, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just wanting to see me, just say anything and I'll try my best to help you solve it."
The two glanced at each other, and Xiao Tzu Rin said to Li Liangzuo: "Please Your Majesty issue an order to crusade against the Jurchen Kingdom":
