() When the Song and Qing Dynasties were engaged in promoting Buddhism in Chengdu, in the Lin'an Palace, the Song Emperor Zhao Huan, who was already aging before he was old, was also receiving an official from Luoyang, Xia Houcheng.

In fact, Xia Houcheng has been in Lin'an for some days, but he is always hesitant, should he come to see the emperor?

Xia Houcheng in Luoyang belonged to Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, but no one knew about it except himself, and of course it was even more impossible for him to tell others this kind of thought, otherwise he knew that he might have died long ago.

But already in Lin'an, if he can't see the emperor, how can he feel at ease for a person who is loyal to Song Dynasty?

After thinking about it again and again, Xia Houcheng still came to see Zhao Huan in the name of King Liang.Anyway, the task that King Liang entrusted to him was to spy on the dynamics of the Song court, so it should be reasonable to use this excuse to see the emperor?

Song Qing once told him to pay attention to Huang Qianshan and Qin Hui, and he has been paying attention to them all the time, but he didn't rush to see them.Because he has always had an intuition that these two people are not both from Luoyang.

In Xia Houcheng's thinking, he was an official of the Song Dynasty, and Song Qing might not feel at ease with him, so it is very likely that he was using this method to test himself.

Because he was already suspicious, Xia Houcheng did not take any action lightly, but in the end he chose to meet the emperor. Some things he could not say to others, but he should let the emperor know his utter loyalty.

I heard that this official was once an official of the Great Song Dynasty, but now he has become Song Qing's confidant. Zhao Huan is really crooked from the bottom of his heart, but Liang Shicheng reminded him not to have any grudges with Song Qing, and he should take a look at this person first. Let's talk about what to do!

Zhao Huan, who was not persuaded, then received Xia Houcheng.And when Xia Houcheng saw Zhao Huan, who was just over 30 years old, but already looked like a half-century old man, with white hair on his temples and hunchback, his tears almost didn't come down.

After holding back the grief and saluting Zhao Huan, he respectfully said: "My minister was sent by King Liang Qiansui, and I have some important and confidential matters to inform His Majesty. Could Your Majesty please keep the idlers away?"

Have something confidential to tell me?Zhao Huan's heart suddenly rose again. Could it be that Second Brother Song has fallen in love with someone again?I really have nothing to give.

Before he could speak, Liang Shicheng at the side had already waved out the eunuchs and maids who were serving below.

It was too late for Zhao Huan to stop him, so he couldn't help but frowned, wondering what Lao Liang was doing?What if this guy is an assassin?

At this time, Liang Shicheng's sinister voice echoed in the hall.

"Lord Xiahou, I hope you don't have any wrong thoughts in your heart. Your Majesty is willing to meet alone because you are an official of the imperial court. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Although Xia Houcheng was trusted by Song Qing, he was not yet able to know everything, so he never dreamed that the eunuch next to the emperor would be from Song Qing.

Seeing that there was indeed no one else beside him, he could no longer control the grief and anger in his heart, and suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Zhao Huan was bewildered by crying, turned his head to look at Liang Shicheng, and said to Xia Houcheng who was lying under the jade steps: "My lord, what's the matter with you? What did Brother Song send you here for?"

After a long while, Xiahou Chengcai stopped crying, got up and choked up and said: "I am honored to see Your Majesty, and my mind was agitated for a while, and I was disrespectful in front of you. I hope Your Majesty will not be offended."

It had been a long time since a subject had shown his true feelings in front of Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan couldn't help feeling a little moved, but thinking about this guy being Song Qing's subordinate, this feeling disappeared soon.

Nodding her head, she said calmly: "I don't blame you, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Xia Houcheng pondered for a moment, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak. If he said rashly that he had always been loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty might not believe it.

"Nowadays the world is dying and the ministers are rampant. I beg your majesty to take care of the dragon and cheer up. I believe that there are actually many helpless thieves in this world, but still have loyal ministers. I am looking forward to your majesty's hard work and recovery as soon as possible." Royal Orthodoxy”

After Xia Houcheng said these words, as long as he is not a fool, he can understand what he wants to say.

It's not that Zhao Huan doesn't understand, it's because he was frightened by Song Qing, what if this guy fell in love with him again and played a trick?

Liang Shicheng's eyes flickered, he turned his head and nodded to Zhao Huan, meaning that he was acting as the emperor.Facing Xiahou Cheng said: "In this way, Master Xiahou is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han? It's just that there is no evidence for such a thing, how can we trust you?"

"Song and Qing are treacherous, how dare I keep evidence? Moreover, in order to gain the trust of Song thieves, I have done a lot of things that harm our Song court. It is not convenient for me to stay here for a long time. I have a plan to offer to Your Majesty. , as long as His Majesty acts according to this plan, we will know whether the minister is still loyal to His Majesty."

"Oh! What's the trick?"

However, Xia Houcheng didn't hear the sarcasm in Liang Shicheng's tone, and continued: "The bandits of Song Dynasty seem to be powerful at present, but they are actually full of loopholes. As long as your majesty takes advantage of the time when they are raising troops in the middle of Shu, send a large army to cut off the way back." , and then send people to unite with Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin to send troops together, then the Song thieves will be at a loss. And the minister secretly contacted a group of courtiers who are still loyal to His Majesty, and they will definitely turn things around in one fell swoop."

Before Liang Shicheng opened his mouth, Zhao Huan couldn't help but said: "Your plan sounds good, but you must know that the Jin people are much more ruthless than Song Qing. If it wasn't for Song Qing back then, I'm afraid I would have been captured by the Jin people. How dare I believe you?" Golden man?"

"At this moment and at that moment, the Jin army was powerful at that time, but now after repeated civil strife, its strength is not as good as before, and the land of Yanyun has been occupied by Song thieves, and they are always thinking about taking it back. As long as your majesty pretends to be a general The land of Yanyun promises them again, after the Song thieves are wiped out, they will take advantage of the power of the army to wipe out the Kingdom of Jin in one fell swoop, and reproduce the glory of my great Song Dynasty."

Xia Houcheng's scheming is very deep, his ideals in his heart are beautiful, and his schemes are not unreasonable. It's a pity that he still thinks too highly of the emperor he wants to be loyal to.

Hit Song Qing?I would kill him a few times in my dreams every night, but that was in my dreams, would anyone dare to stroke Song Qing's tiger whiskers in reality?Not to mention the fact that his own territory is getting smaller and smaller, have you seen how the once powerful Daikin has been turned into a mother?

So whoever wants to hit whoever wants to hit him!I will not accompany you, besides, what if this kid was sent by Song Qing to test me?

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan suddenly laughed, stood up and turned back to the apse.

Xia Houcheng, who was impassionedly planning how to wipe out the Liangshan forces, couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene. Could it be that he was wrong?

Liang Shicheng said with a sinister face: "Lord Xiahou, please go back and tell King Liang Qiansui that His Majesty is determined to live in harmony with King Liang for generations, so don't come to test His Majesty again."

Xia Houcheng's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, but he still didn't give up, and said anxiously: "Elder-in-law, I really..."

Liang Shicheng stopped him before he finished speaking.I saw Liang Shicheng slowly approaching Xia Houcheng a few steps, and then said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Why didn't you remind Your Majesty to pay attention to Qin Hui and Huang Qianshan?"

"Ah You..."

Xia Houcheng was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, because what Liang Shicheng said was exactly what Song Qing said when he was in Luoyang.Now from the mouth of this great eunuch, no need to ask, this great eunuch is an undercover agent sent by Song Qing to your majesty.

From this point of view, all of this was just arranged by Song Qing to test himself.Then Luoyang himself doesn't have to go back, the knives must be ready there.Thinking that he had done all the tricks, but still hadn't calculated Song Qing, the tone in his heart suddenly turned into anger.

You must know that Xia Houcheng was also a military commander, after standing there for a while, he suddenly roared and rushed towards Liang Shicheng.

"I killed you eunuch"

Liang Shicheng never dreamed that Xia Houcheng would dare to attack him here, shouting for someone to come, while speeding up his pace.It's just that he was old and frail, how could he run past Xia Houcheng who was in his prime, so Xia Houcheng caught up with him and knocked him to the ground within a few steps.

"Come,,"

Before the word "herringbone" could be uttered, Xia Houcheng had already grabbed his neck.At this time, the guards and eunuchs waiting outside the palace also rushed in.

Those who pulled their arms and turned their heads took a lot of effort to finally pull Xia Houcheng away. Looking at Liang Shicheng again, although his life was not in danger, a piece of flesh was bitten off his face.The pain caused Lao Liang to scream "Aw, Aw".

"Push him out of our house and beat him to death"

In fact, the guards had already dragged Xia Houcheng out, but the leaders of these guards were careful, because the man who dared to bite Liang Gonggong was a thousand-year-old Liang Wang. Wouldn't killing him offend Liang Wang?

Therefore, the commander of the guards did not ask Liang Shicheng for instructions, so he released Xia Houcheng in the name of the murderer's escape.

Xia Houcheng couldn't stop calling Liang Shicheng the spies of Liangshan, but who would believe it?Throw him outside the palace, and he will not be allowed to approach again.

After venting the anger in his heart, Xia Houcheng also calmed down.The court of Lin'an refused to believe in him, and Luoyang couldn't go back, so where should he go?

He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, the only way out now is to go to the Kingdom of Jin, anyway, he still knows some secrets of Liangshan, so he might not be able to make a living in the Kingdom of Jin.

Those who accompanied him to the palace were a few cronies who followed him in the early years, while the guards were left in the post house.

Thinking of this, Xia Houcheng didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed to the pier with his cronies, preparing to cross the river by boat, and then take the road to the Kingdom of Jin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Houcheng boarded the boat, he suddenly found that the leader of the guards who escorted him was also on the boat.Seeing this scene, Xia Houcheng's heart sank completely.

The commander of the guards bowed and said: "I am ordered by Master Cao, the head of the inner guards, to send you on your way."

The boat started quickly, and the river was flowing, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Houcheng was finished, but Liang Shicheng was ruined.Because a piece of flesh was bitten off his face, he could no longer serve the emperor, and he could not see the emperor, which meant that he would gradually lose the emperor's favor.

After Lao Liang thought about it, he had hugged him enough these years, since Zhao Huan didn't want to see him, then he went to Luoyang to retire!I am the General of the Fuguo who was personally appointed by King Liang Qiansui, and I have done so many things for King Liang. Even if I have no power, I will not be neglected like I am now.

So Lao Liang sent a letter to Luoyang very righteously, saying that he was injured and hoped to go to Luoyang to recuperate.

Just because Song Qing couldn't do the thing of killing a donkey, it doesn't mean that others couldn't do it either.

After Cao Zheng received the news, he knew that if Liang Shicheng arrived in Luoyang, he would definitely cause the prince a lot of trouble.So he made up his own mind and sent someone to invite Eunuch Liang to go to Dengjile on the way Liang Shicheng came to Luoyang.

Liang Shicheng, the biggest undercover agent by Zhao Huan's side, was finished, but unexpectedly fulfilled one person, that is Qin Hui who had lost his news.
