Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, a sensible figure like Xiao Xiang will be named in history. You are not his Xixia nanny, nor are you a crazy lackey or puppet like Niu Wenshu. Why should you follow their political propositions? In the Song Dynasty, I will never threaten the interests of Liao and Xiao Xiang, but once Niu Wenshu's sending people up, your political prestige will face strong challenges. The conclusion is that any flood has nothing to do with you. Suppressing the Niu Wenshu's policy of inciting the Jurchen rebellion by our husbands is your victory. It is also the common interests of you and the Gao family."

Xiao's Litchi slapped the table viciously and said, "Indeed, how can I go back and explain the results of this diplomatic relationship to the Emperor Liao, and I can kill Niu Wenshu and others as soon as I go back, but how do you guarantee that your Song State Cai Jing and others will give up their plan to instigate the Jurchen tribe to ruin my good deeds?"

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "The interests of Cai Jing and others are not to offend the emperor and Xiao Gao. Help Xiao Gao resist the pressure of retreating troops and get money from Xixia to lift the financial hole of our Song Dynasty. As long as you do not force the Song Dynasty to withdraw and give up Xixia, Cai Jing and others will achieve their goal, and the goal of our Song Emperor will also achieve it. That is a win-win outcome. At that time, if they still plan to contact the Jurchen tribe without knowing their lives, then Gao Taiwei will use his favorite minister to discredit them and provoke the relationship between Song and Liao. You must believe that the Song Dynasty royal family is indeed afraid of the Liao Kingdom, and Gao Taiwei can really do it."

Of course, Xiao knew about this point, so he smiled slightly and said, "Last point, what do you have to impress the true nature? In addition, Emperor Tianzuo also needs some things to comfort me."

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "I know that Xiao Xiang is talented, elegant and profound, with profound cultural attainments. He likes gold, stone, calligraphy and painting. Qingzhao is not talented, and he has collected some things in his half life. Now he has some treasures and wants to contribute to an elegant man like Xiao Xiang."

Gao Qiu also said: "I heard that Emperor Tianzuo is brave and happy, and the strongest man should drink the strongest wine. The Gao family has prepared ten carts of top-level distilled liquor to contribute to the Liao emperor. Please pass it on to Xiao Xiang. Of course, as a vulgar person, I don't have elegant things, but I, Gao, also have some yellow and white things as my heart. Please accept them with a smile."

After saying that, a bill of exchange worth 100,000 taels of gold was handed over.

I heard that there were calligraphy and paintings collected by Li Qingzhao throughout his life and was very moved. Looking at the bill of exchange, Xiao was shocked. One hundred thousand taels of gold, a million yuan of coins!

Of course, it is impossible to report the accounts of the Song court and the emperor. Gao Qiu paid the money directly. From this point of view, Xiao's innermost part was shocked. I wonder how much benefit Gao Fangping had in "burning, killing, looting" in Xixia and how much money it was? In order to withstand the policy of withdrawing troops, he made Lao Gao willing to spend a million yuan to bribe himself?

Even if this bribe is at the level of Xiao Lidi, it has never been accepted. It is too huge. Even if the Jurchen tribe has been exploited for a hundred years, I am afraid there will not be so much.

I was really moved, and it was a bit irresistible to Xiao’s lizard.

If someone rashly used so much money to bribe him in the early stage of his mission, Xiao Lidi would not dare to reach out. Unfortunately, after these days of getting along with each other and constantly investigating secretly, Gao Qiu's old man was really a treacherous tyrant and had a similar smell.

This kind of person can get money, which will not make Xiao's Lidi think too much. Xiao's Lidi only thinks that Gao Fangping can make more money on the battlefield of Xixia and swallow more military spending.

Yes, from Xiao’s perspective, there is nothing wrong with this. This is what the officials did, otherwise they would have worked so hard to be an official and would have been full?

He smiled and included a bill of exchange of 100,000 gold into the bad. Xiao's Little Ti looked at Li Qingzhao again and said, "I do like gold, stone, calligraphy and painting, but my attainments in this area are not as good as Qingzhao. I have accepted your filial piety, but I need to talk to you tonight to study calligraphy and painting together."

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao wanted to draw a knife to death.

Gao Qiu shook his hand and said, "Xiao Xiang, theoretically it is an honor to be able to accompany you as a overlord. But the embarrassment lies in Qingzhao's reputation. She is a national treasure-level woman in the Song Dynasty, a married man, or my daughter-in-law of Zhao Tingzhi, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty. You know, she, Li Qingzhao, can't accompany you even if she wants to accompany you. This will cause too many problems. My Gao family cannot take this blame. It will cause a lot of storms when it is transmitted to the territory of Liao Kingdom. So you, who are talented and stubborn, will of course not ruin the rules for a woman, right?"

Xiao was embarrassed, but Lao Gao was talking about the truth. She was the daughter-in-law of Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of Song State. She really couldn't do anything randomly, otherwise it would be a diplomatic issue and would be strongly used by Niu Wenshu and other treacherous slander.

"Forget it, you misunderstood the true nature. I really only study gold, stone, calligraphy and painting, but your worries make sense. It is indeed not advisable to be alone in the room at night, otherwise Qingzhao's reputation will appear superficial if it is broken." Xiao's shameless look on his inner bottom is like a real thing.

After a pause, Xiao stood up and stretched his waist: "So, after investigation by the original minister, Xixia was committed suicide this time, and sent troops to attack Song on the grounds of catching wind and shadow, causing disaster. Gao Fangping was the one who advanced to attack Xixia, mainly because he wanted to take revenge. Gao Fangping and Song did not have the ability to destroy Xia. Just like the two men on the grassland had conflicts with each other, fighting to resolve it, at this time, I thought it was not appropriate to go against the side. The reason why I came was not to want to go against the side but ignore the feelings of the allies was because the daughter of the Liao clan Yelu Nanxian, the current Empress of Xixia, had a wrong understanding of this battle, and went back to my mother's house to ask me to come out to calm down. As an elder, I was embarrassed not to come and take a look, but after many understandings and detailed investigations and research, this is that Gao Fangping and Cha Ge fight, which is not enough to reach the level of diplomacy. Yelu Nanxian made a big fuss and was exaggerated."

After a pause, he said, "Let's go here. Gao Qiu, please inform Cai Jing of Song State to have a discussion with the prime minister tomorrow. It's considered to be a diplomatic procedure. Everything is waiting for the prime minister to return to the court and report to the Emperor Liao. In principle, the Liao Dynasty is not interfering in this conflict between Song and Xia. Speaking of this, my emperor was deceived by treacherous and even became biased. In fact, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. The Emperor of Song State is my nephew of Emperor Tianzuo, and the Song State is also an ally of the Liao Dynasty. In the Western Xia, Yelu Nanxian is also a niece, and Xixia is poor and weak, and needs to be taken care of. So, I can't control it, I will solve my own affairs by myself."

While saying that he couldn't control it, Old Xiao left the room with a chuckle.

So this time, his Xiao Lidi's diplomacy was completed.

Yes, he is doing diplomacy like this, he thinks it is a turbulent rain. The annual monies given to the Liao Kingdom by the Song Dynasty were only more than 200,000 yuan a year, but the Gao family bribed him directly at the level of millions. In addition to the collection of the gold and stone calligraphy and paintings by Li Qingzhao were inherited from the famous artifacts of the prime minister Zhao Tingzhi of the Song Dynasty. If culture is considered as value, in the eyes of the powerful, millions are only a lot, which means that Lao Xiao has ten times more face than Emperor Liao this time...

In early May, there was further chaos and panic in Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia.

"The powerful Liao Kingdom has given up on us, and Liao Kingdom can't even let Song retreat."

Such thoughts and emotions filled the entire Xixia, so that the Xixia Xingqing Prefecture was like a tearful weak man. They never thought that the Tiansong State would be in such a passive and pitiful situation.

In the majestic and magnificent Xixia Palace, the Xixia Empress Yelu Nanxian, who did not understand military and national affairs, looked at the absent-minded Xiao Heda and said, "Since the arrogant Song army entered Xixia, I have heard that you have never been safe for a night, and you have woken up from fright every night."

Xiao Heda sighed and said, "My mistress is above, it is really hard for a good cook without rice. This time, Xixia has made it worse. It is only early May. Basically, many places have no food and cannot sit in the city without food. I am mentally difficult. God is not good at doing it. In this situation, let me preside over this battle between Song and Xia. Xixia is bitter... In order to maintain the morale of the army, I can only forcefully requisition food and grass from the people. The public grievances have already aroused, and Your Majesty began to be angry."

Yelu Nanxian said: "I don't understand military affairs, but the general holds two elite military commanders in the White Horse and the Right Chamber. Why hasn't he sent troops south to defeat Gao Fangping's troops? They are only less than 40,000 people? Cha Ge opposes taking the initiative, and over-raising Gao Fangping is a pity. General, don't you really listen to Cha Ge's advice?"

Xiao Heda said: "How can I listen to that grandson? But no matter what, he was anxious. I have carefully considered his strategy, and no matter where his political position is, Cha Ge was not wrong with military strategy. We are only suitable to defend the city, and we cannot easily dispatch the Baima and the Right-Chang Army to the south. That is equivalent to giving my Xixia trump card to Gao Fangping completely."

He paused and said, "There is one thing that Brother Cha is right. He said that the deterrent power of the divine arm crossbow is the most powerful before it is released. The enemy will take great care of the unshot arrows. This is the role of the last two mobile aces, white horses and the right wing military commander. However, once they attack and do not have the real effect, it is the deadly flaw. There is nothing in our hands that can scare Gao Fangping."

Yelu Nanxian said worriedly: "Why should I send someone to Liao Kingdom again and invite food and rescue soldiers to death?"

"There will be no food and rescue." Xiao Heda said with red eyes, "They... have given up on us! If Prime Minister Niu Wenshu was sent to the State of Song, Gao Fangping's troops would have been recalled by the Emperor of Song ten days ago. At that time, I heard that it was Xiao's Lidi's mission, so I was not in peace. A traitor like Xiao's Lidi could give up the interests of Xixia and Liao, just for his little calculations. He just saw that the destruction of Xixia was in danger of the fall of Xixia, and watched the beast that had already been released from the cage in Gao Fangping's hands. In the future, the person who was in chaos in the world must be this Xiao's Lidi's old thief."
