Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 248 Xingqing Mansion

At this moment in Xixia's Xingqing Mansion, it still looks like singing and dancing!

Xingqing Mansion is the Yinchuan of later generations!

In the Tang Dynasty, this place was the territory of the Han people! In the later Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong established a county here, which is Huaiyuan County! After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it was abandoned as a town!

After the rise of the Xixia party members, they seized Lingzhou in the Song Dynasty and changed Lingzhou to Xiping Mansion. Lingzhou was the ruling center of Xixia! Later, Li Deming, the emperor of Xixia, came to the throne. Li Deming believed that Xiping Mansion lived in the land of four fortresses, which was not conducive to defense, and was not as favorable as the situation in Huaiyuan! So Li Deming recruited 100,000 people to cross the Yellow River and build a new city in Huaiyuan, named Xingzhou! After Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao came to the throne, he built a palace city here and named it Xingqing Mansion! In the next hundred years, the capital of Xixia will be here!

The scale of this Xingqing Mansion is huge. Although it is not as good as Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty and Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom, it is far larger than the cities in Guanshan and other places! Chang'an in Guanshan was originally the center of the world. Unfortunately, after the war in the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms experienced war again. Up to now, Chang'an can hardly compare with Xingqing, the capital of Xixia! In history, after Genghis Khan dominated the grassland, Xixia was the first to attack! However, with the strength of the Mongol soldiers, they will not be able to take down Xingqing Mansion! Genghis Khan personally commanded the battle and spent two months in vain, so he had to retreat to the grassland! The scale of Xingqing Mansion and the fortification of the city can be seen!

There are more than 400,000 people here. Ordinary people live in the fringes of the city, and their lives are also very difficult! But the further you go in, the bigger the buildings inside are, and the people living inside range from wealthy businessmen to officials, until the innermost part is where the palace city of Xixia is located! This is a city within a city. In this palace city, there are dozens of palaces, countless attics, and four huge imperial gardens in the south, east, north, and west! The main hall of Miyagi is called Yinchuan Hall, where the Xixia Emperor handled political affairs and entertained foreign guests!

The east of Xixia is already in flames of war, but at this moment the capital of Xixia has not received any news!

At the moment in the Yinchuan Palace, Emperor Li Ganshun of Xixia is entertaining a distinguished guest!

Li Qianshun is over forty years old, but he is extremely energetic! He is the "Ming Jun" in the history of Xixia. When the Jin soldiers invaded south, he took refuge in the Kingdom of Jin and avoided the demise of Xixia! Moreover, he took advantage of the battle between the Jin Bing and the Liao Kingdom, and obtained a lot of territory from the west of the Liao Kingdom, greatly increasing the land area of ​​Xixia! What's more, Li Qianshun insisted on Sinicization. Starting from him, Xixia's system was exactly the same as that of the Han people, and Xixia's civilization also entered its heyday! Of course, when Ren Dejing divided the country later, Xixia plummeted, this is something for another time!

The living conditions in the palace are excellent, so Li Qianshun looks like a 30-year-old youth at the moment!

In addition to Li Qianshun, dozens of civil and military ministers from Xixia are here!

There were only two people sitting in the palace, one was Li Qianshun, and the other was a Jurchen beside Li Qianshun!

This Jurchen's body is very tall, his skin is extremely dark, and his eyes are like lightning! He was sitting next to Li Qianshun, with an unusually haughty expression on his face, Li Qianshun didn't think he was disobedient, instead, he stood beside him with a smiling face!

Because Li Qianshun knew that the identity of this Jurchen was not simple!

This Jurchen is Wanyan Zonggan, the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of Jurchen! But it's a pity that he is a concubine, not a legitimate son! In ancient times, the status of the concubine was far inferior to that of the concubine! Therefore, although Wanyan Zongqian is older, his status is not as good as that of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi and others! Of course, Wanyan Aguda's sons are all different, and so is Wanyan Zonggan! Although this person has never led an army, his political talents are extremely high! He wins over the ministers in the court, and it seems that he can already compete with the military giants!

Historically, this person spent decades accumulating strength, and after his death, his son Wan Yanliang inherited the resources from his father! Afterwards, Wan Yanliang brazenly usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the fourth Jurchen emperor! Wanyan Liang is well-known in history, and his ability to become emperor has a lot to do with Wanyan Zongqian's accumulation of strength at the beginning!

At this moment, Wanyan Zongqian was sitting beside Li Qianshun. He looked at Li Qianshun next to him, and at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Xixia below, with a gleam of disdain in his eyes! In his opinion, the Xixia people are just a vicious dog subdued by the Jurchens! If it weren't for the barrenness of Xixia, I am afraid that the Jurchens would have already gone west and conquered Xixia! The Jurchen's current strategic direction is the Great Song Dynasty. The economy of the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous and the population is large. Occupying the Great Song Dynasty is much more meaningful than occupying Xixia!

"Lord Wanyan, we Xixia have made all the preparations! Hundreds of thousands of troops have assembled, and they can go south and enter Guanshan at any time!" Xia Chongzong and Li Gan said along the way.

"Oh? I heard that you Xixia people secretly contacted the emperor of the Han people. Is there such a thing?" Wan Yanzong asked with a sneer.

"This..." Li Qianshun was startled. He did send King Li Qianming of Jin to the south to deliver the letter of credence. He didn't know that Wanyan Zonggan knew this news!

But he didn't know that many people in the current Xixia court secretly communicated with Jurchen and passed the news of Xixia to Jurchen's country, so Wanyan Zongqian knew all about it!

"Hmph! You follow us to the south, when Xixia and our Dajin will divide Guanshan equally, we will not treat you badly! If you have other thoughts, our Dajin will not be polite to you!" Wanyan Zong said coldly soundtrack.

"I understand!" Li Qianshun said with a soft sigh.

"This time, you Xixia marched down from the north, and our Dajin Kingdom marched from the east. In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops from the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River followed us! Attacking from three sides, Guanshan will definitely be occupied by us! When we occupy Guanshan After that, we continued to go south to Hanzhong, then to Sichuan and Shu, and then down the river from Sichuan and Shu to enter Jiangnan! At that time, the whole world will belong to our Dajin Kingdom! You Xixia can also establish a country in the northwest all the time, and the fortune of the country will not decline! "Wanyan Zong said dryly.

His eyes were bright, and he had already had his own considerations about the future of the world! He is very confident in his heart, he believes that the Jurchens will definitely be able to defeat the Han people and occupy the world! As for how to deal with Xixia after occupying the world, this is already another question! But now, he still needs to appease Xixia so that Xixia can march with them!

Li Qianshun nodded beside him!

He originally wanted to take advantage of Zhao Chen's confrontation with Jurchen and Kang Wang to get enough benefits from Zhao Chen, and even the Xixia family to occupy the entire Guanshan! At that time, Xixia's strength increased greatly, and to a certain extent, it could get rid of its dependence on Jurchen, but now it seems that it can't! Wanyan Zongqian came here in person, this person is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, even if he is a bastard, his status is better than him, the emperor of Xixia, he dare not neglect! Under Wanyan Zongqian's supervision, he could only do what the Jurchens said!

However, when attacking from three sides, he must consider how to strive for the greatest benefit, obtain the most territory and the most population!

"Within this year, Guanshan must belong to us! The Emperor Xuanwu of the Han people must perish!" Wanyan Zongqian clenched his fists tightly and said with a firm look in his eyes!

"It's natural! No country can block the attack of our Three Kingdoms!" Xia Chongzong said.

The civil and military ministers below also nodded and said yes. In their view, the demise of Guan Shan and Zhao Chen is inevitable. What needs to be considered now is what will happen after Zhao Chen's demise!

However, at this moment, the gate of Miyagi was wide open, and a person was running in the direction of Yinchuan Hall in a hurry!

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Wei! Your Highness King Wei, what happened? Are you so anxious?" The eunuch next to him was about to intercept him when he suddenly saw the man's appearance. It turned out that this man was Li Renli, the cousin of Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun. King Wei of Xixia! The eunuch hurriedly asked!

"Urgent military situation at the border! The matter is very important. I want to pay my respects to His Majesty immediately!" Li Renli said.

Hearing that it was an "emergency military situation", the eunuch was also taken aback. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just watched Li Renli running towards the Yinchuan Palace!

*** ***

"Lord Wanyan, it's already noon, and I have already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare the dishes. You and I will eat together?" In the Yinchuan Palace, Xia Chongzong had stood up at this moment, and said.

"Okay!" Wanyan Zongqian nodded.

At that moment, the two of them stood up and walked down together. The ministers of civil and military affairs stood aside one after another!

At this moment, Li Renli broke into the Yinchuan Palace!

"Renli? What happened? Why are you here now?" Xia Chongzong almost collided with Li Renli, he frowned and said.

"Your Majesty! The big thing is not good! The Song army invaded, and Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Jianing have been breached by the Song army. Now I am afraid that Yanzhou has also been breached by the Song army! The matter is very important, and I have to report it immediately. !” Li Renli said.

What!

For a while, Xia Chongzong stayed there, Wanyan Zonggan also stayed there, and all the ministers in the court stayed there!
