Zhao Huan saw that it was Yu Bu Tong, the Grand Secretary, who was extremely cunning and vicious. When he first ascended the throne and spanked Li Bangyan, this man was the one who jumped the most for joy.
If Zhao Huan had not been afraid that the scholars would continue to cause trouble, he would have found a pretext to banish him. Later, he discovered that this man had some real talent and knowledge, so he kept him, but he rarely provoked him. Unexpectedly, this man was willing to serve as an envoy to Western Xia.
Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am different. Are you willing to go on a diplomatic mission to Western Xia?"
Yu Bu Tong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go as an envoy. I guarantee on my life that I will persuade Xixia and Mongolia to join forces and divide the Great Jin among the three."
Zhao Huan really didn't want to use this person. Firstly, Yu Bu Tong's words were sharp, and secondly, he was deeply disgusted with him: "Is there no other choice?"
Before the other ministers could reply, Yu Bu Tong knelt down and wept, "Your Majesty, my parents in my hometown of Hebei were killed by the Jin invaders. I have no comradeship with the Jin invaders. I beg Your Majesty for your permission!"
So that's how it was, Zhao Huan understood. He didn't know that Yu Bu Tong, besides his deep hatred for the Jin, also wanted to make a career. He knew he had offended the emperor before, and if he didn't make some achievements, he would never be able to recover. He was lucky that the emperor didn't find a reason to execute him, so he was always cautious when attending court.
"Since that is the case, I will not come forward to receive the title. I appoint you as the Great Song's envoy to establish an alliance with Xia and Mongolia on my behalf. I hope you will live up to my expectations and complete this mission."
Yu Bu Tong kowtowed in thanks: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
…
After the morning court session, Zhao Huan came to the Xixia Princess Li Sisi. Li Sisi looked at Zhao Huan with a sad face and asked him what was going on.
Zhao Huan was heartbroken: "Sisi, I know what's going on with you. Please don't be too sad."
Li Sisi supported Zhao Huan and said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell Sisi."
Zhao Huan held her hand and said, "I received a report this morning that the Jin thieves are still determined to ally with the Mongols and swallow up your Xixia."
"What?" Li Sisi was shocked and almost fainted.
Zhao Huan hurriedly supported her and said, "Sisi, these Mongols are fierce and ruthless. If they join forces with the Jin thieves, your Western Xia will be in danger."
Li Sisi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please save Xixia and my father."
Zhao Huan helped her up. Li Sisi's eyes were filled with tears. Zhao Huan hurriedly reached out and wiped her tears away: "Don't worry, Sisi, I will help you. But when I proposed to send troops to aid Xia this morning, guess what happened?"
Li Sisi shook her head blankly.
Zhao Huan angrily said, "Those bastard ministers have jumped out in opposition, saying that the Song Dynasty is struggling to protect itself, so how can it care about the affairs of outsiders? Some even said that the Song Dynasty is exhausted and should live in peace with the people, so how can it start a war again? Some said that the Song Dynasty will not benefit from sending troops to Xixia, and it is a losing business that cannot be done."
Li Sisi's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, please save my father."
Zhao Huan rolled up his sleeves angrily: "I was furious at the time, but for my sake I had to send troops. Even if it means sacrificing my Song Dynasty, I have to help."
Li Sisi hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. If you sacrifice the Song Dynasty, I will never redeem myself. As long as Your Majesty is willing to send troops to help my father, I will be extremely grateful."
Zhao Huan was delighted that the princess was actually leaning towards him. He then doubled his anger and said, "Those bastard ministers are still trying to persuade me. I'm so angry I'm going to spank them all. Eight of them." Zhao Huan pointed a finger.
"What eight?" Li Sisi asked with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Huan's eyes widened. "Eight important officials of the imperial court rose up in opposition, and I gave them all a beating. Finally, the last few officials began to wail: 'We acknowledge our guilt, we acknowledge our guilt, and we agree that Your Majesty will send troops to Western Xia.'"
Zhao Huan pinched his throat and imitated the ministers' tone, and Li Sisi showed a slight smile on her face.
Zhao Huan continued, "I tell you! Xixia is my in-law, and the Xixia Emperor is my father-in-law. Now that my father-in-law is being bullied, how can I sit idly by? Anyone who dares to stop me from sending troops will have his head! Just like that, none of the ministers dared to object anymore."
Li Sisi smiled brightly, hugged Zhao Huan's neck and kissed him fiercely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, how are you going to thank me?" Zhao Huan looked lewd, his eyes gleaming. Li Sisi threw her arms around his neck and pounced on him...
Yu Bu Tong, the envoy to Western Xia, was about to set off early in the morning. The delegation was huge, and Zhao Huan personally sent Li Sisi to see them off outside the palace.
Li Sisi came up to Yu Bu Tong and bowed deeply, which frightened Yu Bu Tong so much that he quickly knelt down to return the greeting.
Li Sisi said, "Everything depends on Master Yu. I beg you to find a way to save the people of Xixia."
Yu Bu Tong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Majesty has already ordered an alliance with Xixia. I will definitely fulfill my mission when I go."
Li Sisi nodded: "When you see my father, tell him that I am doing well here. His Majesty, I love you very much. I hope you take care of yourself. I am unfilial and cannot serve you by your side."
"I will definitely convey this message to you, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Zhao Huan said: "I am different. I always act according to the circumstances." "Whether we can form an alliance with Mongolia depends on your words."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm leaving."
Zhao Huan nodded and said goodbye to everyone.
Zhao Huan took Li Sisi's hand and returned to the palace. Li Sisi was extremely obedient to Zhao Huan. He was willing to send troops for her. She was deeply moved and really loved this dog emperor.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you here tonight."
This is tantamount to blatant seduction. Zhao Huan said with a bitter face: "No, no, I can't stand this."
