Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wang Pang had just changed his clothes when he heard someone knock on the door of the guest room and asked, "Is the prince from the capital inside?" He suggested that it was the shopkeeper's voice, and when he opened the door, he saw the shopkeeper smiling and said, "Look at you, are you still here?" Buy cloud picks yourself, and say you want to see me give you a copy."

Although Wang Pang was a little puzzled by his sudden smile, he was not very surprised.No matter where he goes along this road, everyone who knows that he is the prince next to the king in the capital will greet him with a smile on his face.Wang Pang said politely: "Nothing." Just as he was about to ask the shopkeeper about something, a child jumped out from behind the shopkeeper, about ten years old, and asked Wang Pang happily: "My lord, do you still remember me?" ?”

Wang Pang's eyes lit up when he saw this child. The child had hair in a bun. He was thick-headed and tiger-headed. He hadn't taken off the pair of dark eyes on his immature face: "Jianzhong, why did you come here? Huo, Chang It's tall." Wang Pang patted the child on the shoulder.

The child who came was the grandson of Zhong Shiheng, a well-known general in Northwest China, known as "Old Zhong Jing Lue Xianggong". Wang Bang was going to visit Zhong Yi's son Zhong Jianzhong.Zhong Jianzhong is the child's current name, but anyone who has read "Water Margin" knows that there is a small Zhong Jinglue, Gong Zhongshi, and this is the child's later name.

When Wang Pang came to Yanzhou last year, he saw that the boy had the drive of a martial artist, and he liked it from the bottom of his heart.I haven't seen the little guy for a year and he has grown a lot taller. Zhong Jianzhong is followed by a follower. Seeing Wang Pang recognize him, his smiling eyes narrowed. He took Wang Pang's hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Come with me, prince. Daddy has already set up a banquet at the mansion. I'm here to invite you."

A banquet had already been set up in the hall of Zhongyi Mansion, if a guest hadn't arrived and Zhongyi wanted to socialize, he would definitely go to meet the king.Wang Pang was a famous hero when he took the top of Hengshan last time, and now Wang Pang's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Zhong Yi proud of making this young friend.Hearing Yu Danian said that Mr. Wang Pang came with them, Zhong Yi wanted to go to the post in person, but was delayed by the guests in front of him.

Opposite him sat a 27-year-old young man. This young man had bird-style hair on his head and a ring on his ear. He was wearing tight-fitting clothes with narrow sleeves, and he was dressed like a Xixia.There was a pot of tea on the table, and the two chatted while drinking tea, waiting for Wang Pang's arrival.

After a while, he heard footsteps from the courtyard and the voice of talking with Zhong Jianzhong. Zhong Yi knew that Wang Pang had arrived, so he stood up to greet him, and the young man from Xixia also stood up.The two walked towards the king, and Zhong Yi greeted him first: "Young Master Wang is here just in time, I am going to pick you up, just in time, Li Xili, a student from the Fanhan College in Xixia, came here in person to pick up the young master to Xixia .”

When Li Xili saw Zhongyi introducing himself, he knew that the guest he was waiting for had arrived, so he also came forward to greet him, and bowed his hands in Han etiquette: "The prince is a young hero, so I'm sorry. This time, I'm here to invite the prince. I look forward to more exchanges between our country.”

Wang Pang had already inquired about it before, and he was invited to go to the Chinese Academy of Xixia Kingdom. The Fanxue Han Academy is the educational institution of Xixia. Jianfan Han Academy, with Yeli Renrong as the mainstay, translated "Book of Filial Piety", "Erya", "Siyan Miscellaneous Characters" and Chengfan, and wrote them into Fanshu.

The official assessment is to select outstanding students from the children of Tibetan officials and Han officials, and then enter the academy to study, and then take the exam after the semester is over.The criteria for admission officials are: to see whether the candidates' answers are accurate and whether the handwriting is correct, and then they will be awarded official positions based on the comprehensive results.

What surprised Wang Pang was that, in Wang Pang's impression, the title of "Xue Shi" could be called a Xue Shi, at least 50 to [-] years old.But the student envoy of Fanhan College in front of him looks very young.But Wang Pang thought about it: Take Da Song as an example, there have been many talents in recent years, let alone Su Shi, Su Zhe, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi.Just to say that Wang Yansou, who even won the Sanyuan this year, is not too old.

After exchanging greetings, the three of them sat down, Zhong Yi ordered someone to put on a banquet, and the three toasted to drink.During the conversation, Wang saw Li Xueshi, although he was young, he was very proficient in Han culture.And apart from the Western Xia costume, his appearance is not as strong as Wang Pang's impression, and his speech is also gentle and gentle. Although he is not fond of him, he is not disgusted.

After the banquet was over, Li Xili said goodbye, and Wang Pang agreed with him to leave in three days.Seeing Li Xili leave, Zhong Jianzhong came to the hall and said to King Zhongyi, "I don't like these Xixia people. They always make troubles. Why does Daddy treat him so politely?"

Zhong Yi's face darkened: "Don't interrupt if you don't understand, go and review your homework." Zhong Shiheng pouted his lips, reluctantly saying goodbye to Wang Bang, and then backed out.Looking at his son's back, Zhong Yi's expression became more relaxed. Zhong Jianzhong is very lovable, but there is nothing wrong with disciplining the child harshly. Seeing the smile on the corner of Wang Pang's mouth, he said, "This child has a quick temper. If I go into an official career in the future, I'm afraid I will suffer."

Wang Pang smiled and said, "Jianzhong will become a big success in the future, and I am very optimistic about this child."

He was very happy to hear Wang Pang praise his son Zhong Yi. He remembered the agreement between Wang Pang and Li Xili, "Young Master Wang should be more careful when he goes to Xixia this time."

"I'm a businessman, and I don't lead soldiers. Besides, I still go to communicate. Xixia shouldn't make it difficult for me." Wang Pang didn't think of this mission as a big deal at all.But since Zhong Yi reminded me, I must ask one more question: "Thank you for reminding me, but I don't know what I should pay attention to. Could it be the one just now?" He said half of the sentence.

Zhong Yi shook her head: "The one who came to Song Dynasty with courage just now, some people in Xixia hoped that something would happen to him. I was afraid that something would happen to you if you went with him."

It made Wang Pang feel strange to say this, but he likes to ask such curious things, so he said "Huh?"Zhong Yi said in a low voice: "This young man has an unusual status. He is the elder brother of the current emperor of Xixia."

This made Wang Pang even more surprised. The current Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo is from the Wuzang family, and the queen mother of Wuzang was originally the wife of Tiandu Wang Yeli Yuqi. Empress Ye Lishi came from this family.However, the Yeli family was too powerful, which aroused Yuan Hao's suspicion, so that Ye Li Yuqi was killed, but the Wuzang family became Yuan Hao's lover and gave birth to an illegitimate son, Liang Zuo.

Li Yuanhao was suspicious and lecherous in his later years. In addition to the Wuzang family, he also adopted the Wuyi family, the wife of the prince Ningling who was about to pass through the family, as his favorite concubine.Wuzang Clan's younger brother, Wu Zang Pang, was ambitious. In order to seize the throne, he instigated Ye Li's mother and son to murder Yuanhao.Yuan Hao's nose was cut off, and he died of serious injuries. The brothers and sisters of the Wuzang family who benefited from the fisherman took control of the state affairs of Xixia, and Liang Zuo, who was only two years old, ascended the throne.

These are all old things, but Wang Pang never knew that Li Liangzuo had an emperor brother.Zhong Yi explained: "This Li Xili was also born to Empress Yeli, but when Brother Ning Ling assassinated Li Yuanhao, he was still young. Although he was implicated, he managed to save his life. It must be said that the current Thanks to Liang's father."

The Liang family has always been cautious and arrogant, and the Liang family, as a Han, is also struggling to survive in the party's country. Even if it is a wealthy family, it is always far behind the state power.Empress Yeli and the crown prince were killed. Liang's father advised Meizang Yepang not to kill them all, and at the same time advised Empress Wuzang to show dignity if she wanted to be in power, so Li Xili was spared. [

Li Xili himself is also very low-key, coupled with his talent and intelligence, he only devotes himself to the academic research of Fan Han.So it was gradually forgotten by people. Later, Li Liangzuo and Liang Shi set up a plan to contact the general Man Baa, and took the opportunity of summoning Wuzang Yepang in the secret room to capture and kill him in one fell swoop, and then Wuzang Yepang's husband immediately Liang's husband was also killed together, the entire Wuzang family was exterminated, and the queen was bestowed with death by the Wuzang family.

The civil strife in the Xixia palace was not over until now, and Li Xili was also appointed as the history of Han studies because of his profound knowledge. However, this history of Han studies has no real power. Liang Yibu, the elder brother of the Liang family, is now the prime minister, and the power of Xixia is in the hands of the Liang family. In the hands of the family, Li Xili used to be a pawn, but now he is a nail.

After Zhong Yi told Wang Pang about these things, he asked again: "Actually, you don't have to go to Xixia until now. The emperor has a secret decree. If the situation at the border is urgent, you can stay here for a few days and find a reason to go back to the capital." That's it."

Wang Pang went to laugh after listening: "Why don't you go, if they don't mess up, I really hesitate, but there are so many things to see right now, I have to go."

He wasn't talking big, he had long wanted to deal with Liang Yibu.The first time he set fire, the second time he was rescued by Leng Qing from Kaifeng Mansion, and the third time he almost hurt Yuexia.Since there is someone beside Liang Yibu who thinks it is a nail, he will sharpen the nail and straighten it.Then tie Liang Yibu and Xixia hard to let them know that Wang Pang is not easy to mess with.
