Chapter 259 Governor Xiliang

When ruling the river with Zhao Huan, Song Qing had a blueprint for unifying the world in his heart.

It is inevitable to recover Shuzhong, and it is an unexpected pleasure to take advantage of Dali. Now that Xixia is already in hand, the next step should be Tubo, so that the road to the Western Regions can be completely opened.

As Yue Fei thought, Hua Rong's practice is Liang Shan's consistent style, which is understandable. Song Qing would have done it, even more ruthless than Hua Rong did.

The Tubo army was indeed strong for a while, but it was all over, and today's Tubo territory is full of tribes, which is the best time to fully integrate it under the rule. Once Tubo is unified into a new regime, it will not be easy to fight again.

According to Li Yun, who supervised the construction of the Foguang Temple, the Foguang Temple can be delivered for use by next spring at the latest. Therefore, Song Qing has already sent an invitation to Zhuopuba and other living Buddhas in Tibet and Emperor Duan, who have already reached Dali, and invited them to come together to the Buddha statue of Foguang Temple.

At that time, Song Qing will inform them of his ideas. Whether they agree or disagree, he will send troops into Tibet.

Yue Fei suffered great losses when attacking Xixia. Song Qing has decreed that he can replenish people on the spot while suppressing the remnants of Xixia.

You should know that more than 300,000 troops are not a small number. Under normal circumstances, after the pacified Western Xia, some people should be withdrawn. Whether it is the crusade against Shuzhong or the conquest of the Golden State, they all do so. But Song Qing did not do that this time, and his purpose was to invade Tibet. At that time, Guan Sheng will also send troops from Chengdu to cooperate with Yue Fei's attack.

For these reasons, isn't it just looking for boredness when Ali Gu sent messengers from Tibet to ask questions?

Song Qing told the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies that they didn't need to pay attention to him. After inviting them into the post hall, he would cool them down and wait until next spring.

Ten days later, Yan Qing and others escorted Li Ren'ai and finally returned to Luoyang.

In order to create a strong atmosphere, Song Qing ordered soldiers to line up on both sides of the road ten miles away from Luoyang, and then lined up to the hall of Song Qing's office in Luoyang City. There were civil and military officials standing on both sides of the hall.

On the street, behind these majestic soldiers are countless people from all directions.

Looking at this situation alone, there is a little welcome, but there is no cheering. It is more like watching the excitement as a winner. Many people have never seen such excitement in their lives.

Li Renai walked in front of the team on foot with a national seal in his hand. Behind him were a lot of wives and children, and then there were sporadic ministers who were willing to follow him, and most of the rest stayed in Xingqing Prefecture to prepare for the new dynasty.

At this time, the humiliation in his heart can be imagined, but who can be blamed? If he hadn't poisoned his father, maybe none of this would have happened, at least not so early.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. From the moment he attacked his father, his fate has been doomed.

The most shocking thing in the crowd is to say that when Yan Qing and others blew up the gate of Xiping Mansion, he envied Liangshan firearms, so when he saw the firepower when he launched a general attack on Xingping Mansion later, it can no longer be described as simple horror.

He saw the overwhelming power of artillery with his own eyes. The tall and strong walls can turn into ruins in an instant. What else can resist this artifact? The bravery of Liang Shan's soldiers also left a deep impression on him. At that time, he had an idea in his mind that Liang Shan was the best soldier in the world.

So he said that he would come to Luoyang with Yanqing to worship King Liang Qiansui. On the one hand, he had a heartfelt respect, and on the other hand, he hoped to get the help of King Liang to let him stand up again on the grassland.

In fact, Song Qing had conveyed his intention to help Tuoli through Yanqing before, but Tuoli still hoped to get the permission of King Liang. So he followed with a fart.

The richness of the Central Plains is beyond the imagination of these grassland men. Many people, including Tuoli, even have the idea of not going back, and this idea is getting heavier and heavier.

Song Qing sat firmly on the throne in the hall and looked at Li Ren'ai, who was getting closer and closer below. This was the second emperor he met condescendingly. At this time, there is not so much excitement in his heart, but more about the prospect of the future. One day he will make all the emperors in the world crawl under his feet.

Someone had already taught Li Ren'ai what to say and what to do, so after entering the hall, Li Ren'ai fell to the ground, held high the national seal in her hand, and shouted: "Sinners Tuoba Renai, offend Tianwei, come to plead Qianxu and ask Qianxu to forgive the guilty people to death"

Xixia's surname Li was given by the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but they later divided Middle-earth and became a country of their own, so at this moment, when he returned to Middle-earth, he could no longer call himself Li.

Of course, Song Qing will not kill him, even if Mrs. Yanqing wants to kill him, because this is no longer her alone.

"Let's be flat!"

Song Qing waved his hand, and the will of Li Ren'ai had already been drawn up. Qin, the eunuch behind him, stood up with his will.

After that, Li Ren'ai was awarded the title of Duke of Tang, which was hereditary, and the mansion was given to stay in Luoyang for generations.

The Tang Dynasty has long disappeared into the long river of history and made him Duke of Tang, which is self-evident.

Li Renai knelt down and kowtowed again to thank him.

The power is enough, and the next step is grace. After all, he used to be the king of a country. Song Qing ordered a banquet to receive the Duke of Tang. Yan Qing, Li Kui and other meritorious ministers accompanied him.

Toli is temporarily arranged in the post hall. He is just a leader of the Mongolian tribe, not that he can see Song Qing if he wants to see him.

When Song Qing invited Li Ren'ai, there was also a small episode.

Li Xueer also knew that Li Ren'ai would go to Luoyang today, but Song Qing was afraid that she would destroy the surrender ceremony she had arranged, so she specially told Li Xiner to invite her into the house and asked Dou Niang to watch her as well.

Who knew that these women still didn't look at her and went out of Song Qing's palace in anger. After Li Ren'ai had arrived, she was about to rush to the hall with a sword. Although she was stopped by the bodyguard outside the palace, everyone knows that she is Yan Qing's wife and has relatives with the prince. Who dares to really do something to her?

In desperation, Song Qing had to send the disgraced Yan Qing out. At least, he finally persuaded Li Xueer to go back.

Song Qing looked at the frightened Li Ren'ai and couldn't help sighing secretly. What are you still alive to do? You are lucky to meet me.

After the ceremony, Song Qing ordered Zhu Wu to be found alone.

At the beginning of the Western Xia Dynasty, it is bordered by Mongolia in the north, Tibet in the south, and Gaochang, Guizi and other Western countries in the west. The geographical location is very important.

Although Yue Fei is now stationed there, sooner or later, he will continue to fight northwest and then connect the Hexi Corridor to lay the foundation for the recovery of the Western Regions in the future. Then Xixia will become the most important logistical support base for Yue Fei's Western Expeditionary Army.

In addition, Yue Fei is in charge of the military. Song Qing has always disliked military and political confusion, so there must be a trustworthy and capable person to take care of it. After thinking about it, Song Qing thought of Zhu Wu.

After several years of training, Zhu Wu has completely become a qualified politician. At the same time, he has also been to Xixia and is the backbone of Liangshan. Only when he takes care of Song Qing in the northwest can Song Qing rest assured.

Today's surrender ceremony can be said to be very gratifying. It is not only the people all over the city, but also civil and military officials are talking about this topic.

Zhu Wu was originally studying how to rule the Western Xia region in the future with Wu Yong and Chen Dong. After listening to Song Qing's recruitment, he quickly gave up the crowd and rushed over.

After Song Qing asked Zhu Wu to sit down, he did not immediately mention that he would go to Xixia, but asked him how to deal with the aftermath of Xixia.

Zhu Wu only thought that Song Qing was trying him and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, several of us were still talking about this just now. Since Chitose asked me first, I'll talk about it first!"

"First of all, some place names in Xixia need to be changed, and some of our officials should be stationed there. I think the group of officials in the first year of Xingping can also take on important responsibilities after several years of experience."

"What's more, there are strong people, there are many tribes, and national problems have always been difficult to solve completely, so I still agree with the idea of Chitose, starting with their religious beliefs, so that they can have a sense of identity and belonging to us"

"The last point is to send a large number of immigrants there to gradually integrate with our Han people, so that in a few years, they may become a nation. Ha ha! But I guess we can't see it."

Zhu Wuyue said that Song Qing's heart became brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "This governor of Western Xia is the only military division."

Zhu Wu was shocked and said hurriedly, "Chitose looks too highly of Lao Zhu. What kind of governor can Lao Zhu be? Besides, can't the name Xixia be left?"

Song Qing remembered that the location of Xixia should be in the Ganshan area, but there is no Ganshan. If you call it rashly, it will not be easy for the people to adapt.

sighed slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't want my brother to be too far away from me. In recent years, with the increasing number of our state capitals, Liangshan's old brothers have been separated from each other. Sometimes I really miss you, but now the world is still determined, and all parties are staring at our emerging regime. So it's not the time for our brothers to get together!"

"Brother is right. The name Xixia is in the past, so call it Governor Xiliang! It connects the Western Regions and controls the Hexi Corridor. If my brother doesn't go to sit in the town, who can rest assured?

Song Qing has said this, how can Zhu Wu not say it?

Governor Xiliang, this is another official position created by Song Qingxin, but in terms of its authority, I'm afraid there is no one but Song Qing and Lin Chong.

Wu Yong is also one of Song Qing's most trusted people, but he is too old to be stationed in such a remote area.

As far as that region is concerned, this governor of Xiliang is not so good. It can be said that this is also a heavy trust.

Zhu Wu stopped talking and stood up respectfully salute Song Qing.

"Chitose, don't worry, Lao Zhu will never let Chitose down"
