Chapter 327 Emperor Xia: Zhao Gou dares to plot against my beloved concubine(3/3)
"Your Majesty's Silver Medal deployment of troops will definitely defeat the Song Dynasty enemy who is advancing alone, and regain Xijing, the companion of our Great Xia Kingdom..."
"Long live my emperor..."
"Everyone loves me..."
Li Qianshun forced a smile to calm the panicked hearts of his ministers.
He asked the returning summer envoys again:
"You have sent an envoy to the Song camp but have returned without success. If you have nothing important to report to me, please retreat and reflect at home for three days."
The chief envoy to the Song camp immediately knelt down and said:
"I have important matters that affect the negotiation and success of the Xia and Song Dynasties. I need to report to His Majesty separately..."
Li Qianshun frowned and said: "Before you enter the palace, I have made an agreement with the important ministers in the court. On the occasion of the war between the Xia and Song Dynasties, the emperor and ministers will not deceive each other about important military matters! Even if you do it in front of me and the ministers, Come face to face."
"I dare not say it to my face. Please tell your Majesty privately..."
Before the chief envoy of the Song camp had finished speaking, the deputy envoy started to say in a weird voice:
"I am the deputy envoy to Song Ying this time..."
"Zhang Jun, the imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty, summoned our envoy alone, but prevented the deputy envoy from sitting with him to listen..."
"The two of them have been talking secretly for a long time, and I don't know if they are discussing peace..."
"On my way back to Beijing, I asked the envoy, but he refused to tell me what he was conspiring with the imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty..."
"Therefore, I advise Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, let the envoy tell you in person why he and Zhang Jun are conspiring!"
When the chief envoy of the Song camp heard the deputy envoy's stab in the back, he was so angry that his hair almost exploded.
Li Qianshun glared at the envoy to Song Dynasty and shouted angrily: "Is there any truth to what the deputy envoy said?"
"Your Majesty, there is such a thing. However, what the Song Dynasty envoy Zhang Jun and his ministers discussed must not be said in public!"
After listening to the words of the deputy envoy, Li Qianshun became more suspicious of the incompetent envoy Song. He asked coldly:
"What did you conspire with Zhang Jun alone in Song Camp?"
"Why don't you exchange information with the eleven envoys I sent on your way home?"
"Why do you have to tell me alone again?"
"What are the terms of peace proposed by Song Emperor Zhao Ji?"
"Don't you believe what the enemy envoy says, but don't believe me and the important officials in the court?"
"Ah?!" The chief envoy to the Song camp exclaimed. He knew that Xia Emperor Li Qianshun must have suspected him after he was stabbed in the back by his deputy envoy.
In order to protect himself and prove his innocence, in order not to be misunderstood by Emperor Xia as betraying the Song Dynasty, he glanced at the dozens of important Xia ministers in the hall. He was also confident that what he said tonight would not be spread to outsiders. of.
He echoed back with a trembling voice:
"Zhang Jun was sent by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to tell me, the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, that as long as this is done in advance, the Song Dynasty will start peace negotiations with me, the Great Xia Kingdom..."
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun asked impatiently: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
Dozens of civil and military officials in the main hall held their breath and raised their ears. What were the conditions for listening quietly?
The envoy who returned from his mission to the Song camp hesitated for a moment and finally spoke out:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect. The words I quoted are the original words of Zhang Jun, the imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty:
‘The Zhao Guan family wants to let the Emperor of Xia repatriate the Cao family, the granddaughter of Cao Mian, the traitor of the Song Dynasty who surrendered to Xia! She is also the Cao family, the current imperial concubine of the Great Xia Kingdom’…”
Suddenly, the entire hall fell into a dead silence...
The civil and military ministers of Xia State were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide, but they did not dare to make a sound.
Li Qianshun's face turned livid instantly. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly. When he stood up, he was so angry that he kicked over the dragon case in front of him. He shouted angrily:
"Zhao Ji, how dare you be so rude!"
"Zhao Gou, how dare you plot against my beloved concubine!!"
