The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1044
It was dawn again.

In Changsha City, Zhao Dongting handled government affairs in the imperial study.

The officials who were imprisoned in various places and related to the rioters have been beheaded, and those who were exiled were exiled.Those lists are now on his desk.

In addition to these, there are naturally pigeons sending messages from Yuanzhong.

The letter was passed on by Zhou Xing.

This is also what caught Zhao Dongting's heart the most.

He held the secret letter that Zhou Xingyan sent back in his hand, and he had read it for a long time by now.

Kublai Khan actually wanted to marry Turandot to him.This not only made Zhou Xingyan feel puzzled, but even Zhao Dongting himself felt incredible.

why?
Could it be that with Kublai Khan's character, he would naively think that he would give up attacking the Yuan Dynasty just because of Turandot?
Will the Yuan army be allowed to continue to stare at the northern border of the Song Dynasty?
This is really misjudged Zhao Dongting.

Perhaps Zhao Dongting would have chosen that thieves loved beauties and not love Jiangshan before he was emotionally hurt in his previous life, but now, he will never.

He knew how much courage he had on his shoulders.

This is related to the lives of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty.

Unless Le Chan is dead and forced...

As Zhao Dongting thought about it, even if Le Chan was forced to die, he probably wouldn't choose to go to Jiangshan and ignore it, would he?
He thought of those old soldiers on Naozhou Island.

He has the responsibility to create a glorious and prosperous age for these veterans and the people of Song Dynasty.

So speaking of it, even if Turandot gets married, whether he will fall in love with Turandot is not that important.

And Zhao Dongting felt that he would not fall in love with Turandot.

After pondering for a long time, he wrote back to Zhou Xingyan, "I would like Naturando to be my concubine! A peace agreement has been reached, so that the Yuan army will withdraw immediately!"

He really didn't want to fight anymore.

Because now Liu Zhuwen and others have led an army to attack, and in a short time, Zhao Dongting also plans to destroy Xin Song, leaving Duan Qilin completely desperate.

This also has no energy to continue to compete with the Yuan army in northern Xinjiang.

When the army is fighting for the front, it needs to accumulate money and food.Now the Song Dynasty is already under a heavy load, and if it fights against the Three Kingdoms alone, it will shake the foundation of the country.

Of course Zhao Dongting didn't want to see the foundation he had built with great difficulty go back again.

Soon, carrier pigeons soared into the sky in Changsha Imperial City, heading for Yuanzhong Capital.

Zhao Dongting also planned to leave the imperial study and go back to the bedroom.

Just when he was not far from the imperial study, he met Zhongsun Guge, the Xixia envoy in the Song Dynasty, who came hurriedly with his head bowed.

Zhao Dongting was slightly puzzled, and asked, "Master Zhongsun is here to see me?"

Zhongsun Guge raised his head, saw that it was Zhao Dongting, and quickly cupped his hands: "Zhongsun Guge has seen the Emperor of Song!"

Zhao Dongting raised eyebrows and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

His attitude was far from warm.

Obviously, Li Xiushu refused to send troops to help twice.Zhao Dongting still has some resentment in his heart.

He had already received the letter that the troops of the Xin Song Dynasty had all returned to the territory of Tongchuanfu Road through Lizhou East Road.If it weren't for Li Xiushu's refusal to send troops, it would be impossible for these new Song soldiers to go back.

Of course Zhongsun Guge could hear the indifference in Zhao Dongting's tone, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

If he wasn't Xixia's envoy in the Song Dynasty, he really didn't want to bite the bullet and come to see Zhao Dongting.

Even he himself felt that the Empress really did something unreasonable this time.

But as a courtier, he had no choice.

After a little silence, Zhongsun Guge cupped his hands and said to Zhao Dongting: "Zhongsun Guge was ordered by the emperor to come to see Emperor Song. There is something... I need your help."

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly, "Your Empress Xixia is so capable, what else needs Song's help?"

Zhongsun Guge gritted his teeth, and simply confessed: "Zhongsun Guge knew that Emperor Song was quite dissatisfied with my emperor's failure to send troops to help the emperor twice, but Zhongsun Guge still asked Song Emperor not to be angry. For the first time, my emperor refused The reason why the troops were sent to help was because the Great Song Dynasty was not yet at an impasse, and Zhongsun Guge didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to argue for me to the emperor. Only this time, Emperor Song, you asked me to send troops to the emperor to prevent the new Song army from returning to the country. It is really justifiable for the emperor to choose to refuse."

Zhao Dongting's eyes showed a playful look, "What's the reason?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "This is exactly why I came to see you, Emperor Song. The fact that I did not send troops to the emperor is because Pang Hongguang on Lizhou East Road is not really interested in the empress."

"Oh?"

This really surprised Zhao Dongting, "As a Yuan minister, Pang Hongguang voted for you Xixia, why didn't he sincerely submit to your emperor?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "My Majesty has already learned that... Pang Hongguang is actually a pawn of Dali. He is very likely to be a member of Guigu Academy."

Zhao Dongting was slightly taken aback.

Is Pang Hongguang from Guigu Academy?

That is the pawn that Guigu Academy arranged early in the Yuan Dynasty?

It's just that, what is the intention of Guigu Academy to let Pang Hongguang and others choose to abandon Yuan and invest in Xia?

Could it be that Guigu Academy wanted to bury this hidden thunder in Xixia, which was an ally of Song Dynasty, because Song Dynasty defeated the Yuan army one after another?

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is really great.

The thoughts in Zhao Dongting's mind gradually became clear.

The layout of Guigu Academy is really well thought out...

It's just that they probably didn't expect it, because the failure to attack Song this time would make them have to expose Pang Hongguang's pawn, right?
When he came back to his senses, Zhao Dongting asked Zhongsun Guge, "Then you came here this time because you wanted me to send troops to help Xixia take Lizhou East Road?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "Not only that, but also Lizhou West Road. There are even Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road. My majesty wants to take them all in one fell swoop."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Then what good is it for me? If I remember correctly, the east and west roads of Lizhou were originally the territory of the Song Dynasty. You ask me to send troops to help you Xixia take these two roads, and then give them up to you. You? If you were the emperor, do you think you would easily agree?"

Zhongsun Guge frowned slightly, "Then dare to ask Emperor Song what he wants?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Can't you guess what I want?"

Zhongsun Guge frowned even deeper, "I have already told my ministers to the emperor that if Emperor Song wants to have two roads to the east and west of Lizhou, let me refuse. Because my land in Xixia is narrow, the two roads to the east and west of Lizhou seem to be the same. It is very important. The emperor also said...Emperor Song, you don't have to rush to refuse. Because, she...her fate with you has arrived."

When he said the following sentence, Zhongsun Guge had a strange expression on his face.

He really didn't know what Li Xiushu meant by that.

Although he occasionally heard that something happened between Li Xiushu and the Great Song Emperor in the Imperial City of Changsha, he didn't think it was true.

Who is their Empress Xixia?
What reason is there to have a relationship with Emperor Song?

And there is such a big age gap between the two.

This can only show that although Zhongsun Guge is a capable minister, he does not necessarily understand women's hearts very well.

But Zhao Dongting was a little confused when he heard Zhongsun Guge's words.

Of course he knew what Li Xiushu meant.

Li Xiushu must be pregnant with her child...

But, just because Li Xiushu was pregnant with his own child, did he send troops to help Li Xiushu for free?

What if Li Xiushu puts forward more conditions in the future?
Zhao Dongting frowned deeply.

It is impossible for him to not care about his flesh and blood.Only in the position of the emperor, but he has too many things to weigh.

After a long silence, Zhao Dongting said to Zhongsun Guge again: "Then your majesty, are you not willing to give me even the slightest benefit?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "My majesty wishes to form a permanent ally with Da Song in the future. After this matter is completed, Da Song will send troops to attack Xin Song, and the emperor will send troops to Xin Song. Da Song will send troops to attack Dayuan, and the emperor will Also send troops to Great Yuan."

Zhao Dongting smashed his mouth, his eyes were playful.

Li Xiushu is really a good idea.

It was just an empty promise, and he had to send troops to help her.

Moreover, after the overthrow of the new Song and Yuan dynasties, what about the Song and Xia parties?
Just thinking about it, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Dongting's mind.

Damn!

Wu Amiao must have arrived at the Xixia Imperial City by now, right?

Would he really be able to spank that bitch Li Xiushu's ass?
He suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and his heart was also a little weird.
