Compete for the Song Dynasty

Some people don’t know how to do one thing, which is honesty; some people know how to do one thing, this is their wish; some people decide to do it, this is their attitude; Courage; of all these things, only one is unimportant, and that is the result.

Li Xili never knew how to do it, until he thought about how to do it, then decided to do it, and worked hard to do it. It was just the result of the success or failure of the matter, but he could not decide it. This result was in the hands of a woman.

This woman: she is beautiful enough to seduce Li Liangzuo; she has some talent enough to make Li Xili admire her; Wu Zetian".Li Xili's mind couldn't tell what complicated feelings he had for this woman.Once, her father was Li Xili's benefactor, and later, she was the daughter-in-law of his enemy's family; now, she is the woman of her half-brother; she was kind to him, but now she regards Li Xili The presence.He even trampled all of Li Xili's emotions under his feet.

Yes, she is such a person. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of people: useful and useless.And this woman was in Xingqing Mansion not far away, enjoying the pleasure that Qian Quan brought her.She is Liang Luoyao, Empress of Xi Xia.

At this time, Liang Luoyao of the Liang family was sitting in the Funing Hall in the imperial city of Xingqing Mansion. A maid brought a baby who was a few months old, and this sleeping baby was the crown prince born by the Liang family.She looked at the baby in the maid's arms and smiled slightly.He reached out and touched the child's face, then waved his hand, signaling the maid to carry the baby back to the prince's bedroom. [

"Prince" and "son", for Li Bingchang, who was sleeping soundly in his infancy, her mother prefers to give her child the former status.

When Mrs. Liang saw the maid going out, the smile on her face gradually faded. She walked to the desk. On the desk were exquisite brush washers, gorgeous pen holders, handmade inkstones, memorials and secret letters that had been read and unread separately.There are also some official and private tabloid publications.

She took out a secret letter, and with scallion-like fingers, lifted the wax seal and opened it to read: Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo was still on his way to Xiliang Mansion at this time, Liang Luoyao read it and put the letter on fire In the cauldron of fragrant cakes.The stove of burning incense cakes makes this Funing Hall feel warm and accompanied by a faint fragrance.

When her elder brother Liang Yibu asked to see the queen and was allowed to enter Funing Palace, his queen sister Liang Luoyao was instructing those memorials.Seeing Liang Yibu come in, Liang Luoyao put down the pen in his hand.

Liang Yibu had seen the queen, Liang Luoyao retreated to the maid in the palace: "Brother, sit down and talk." Luoyao's tone was very calm, Liang Yibu took out a copy of "Cloud Picking" from his arms and handed it over, and then sat down. On the one hand, he asked: "I just found out recently that Li Xili went to the Song Dynasty and invited the king to come. Does the queen know about this?"

Liang Luoyao flipped through the "Yunzhai" in her hand, this Yunzhao only came once a month, and Liang Yibu sent someone to bring it from Yanzhou, and sent a copy to the palace.The Liang family was originally Han, and the two brothers and sisters admired the culture of the Song Dynasty very much. Since Li Yuanhao was in power, the official positions in the palace were set up as Han and feudal, and even the imperial palace followed the Han style. call.

She heard Liang Yibu's question: "Brother, have you heard of Wang Pang? This man has a wonderful mind, and I really want to meet him." Liang Luoyao didn't answer Liang Yibu's words directly, but listening to Liang Luoyao That being said, Liang Yibu couldn't ask any more questions.

Of course, Liang Yibu would not tell others about being captured by Wang Pang when he was in Kaifeng mansion.It's a bit embarrassing for a kid who was fifteen or sixteen years old to subdue it.

He coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "Sister, I have discussed with Da Song about the dispute, but there is no result yet, and there has been no reply from there, and now Qingyan can't make it through, what does the emperor think about this?"

Luoyao was turning over the pages of Yunzhao, which was like a book with more than a dozen pages, but it was thinner than a book, so it was enough to read for a while: She said in a twitchy tone, "That emperor, every day He only knows how to use force and favor concubines, brother, can you ask him what he thinks?"

Liang Yibu knew that although Liang Luoyao had resentment in his heart, what his sister said was also reasonable, so he hurriedly asked respectfully, "Then what does my sister think about this?"

Liang Luoyao smiled: "What is this? As long as the green salt is cheap enough, there will be people who make money privately. Our green salt is naturally much better than the rock salt near Yanzhou, not to mention small profits but high sales. You can arrange it." Third Division, supervise the administration to put some salt in the warehouse, and lower the price even more. I don’t believe that green salt can still be piled up in my hands.”

Liang Yibu heard what Liang Luoyao said, so he said with a smile on his face: "What my sister said is very true, I will do it when I get back."

The two talked about how to pay the annual tribute to the Liao Kingdom, and they finished talking about state affairs.Liang Luoyao looked at Yun Jie in his hand and said, it's a pity that my brother failed to pass the exam. You see, even the women of Song Guolian are talented.

Liang Yibu cleared his throat again. What her sister said seemed to mean that he was not even as good as a woman.He said with embarrassment: "It's not because of the article that I didn't win, and it's not because of you, my sister."

Liang Luoyao glanced at his brother, and smiled: "You are not much better now than you were in Song Guo High School, at least my brother is now a national teacher, under one person, above ten thousand."

Liang Yibu hurriedly stretched out his hand, made a gesture of two and said, "Two people, two people. My sister is naturally above me."

He is really two, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers, one male and one female are tolerated.But it's not that simple when it comes to power, especially Liang Luoyao is resenting Li Liangzuo in her heart. After saying this, seeing Liang Luoyao put away her smile, she sighed and said: "If the emperor continues to be so arrogant, I'm afraid Brother will be under three or four."

Liang Yibu patted his chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, my brother has already made arrangements for the harem, and they are all hens that can't lay eggs. Mothers are more expensive than their sons, so my sister can rest assured to be your queen." [

Liang Luoyao smiled: "You are a national teacher of the Xia Kingdom, so it's not easy to speak so vulgarly." Liang Yibu also laughed, he was happy that he could make his sister happy, but no matter from the perspective of siblings, he still treats her well. Knowing his sister's understanding, he would not make the queen unhappy.

"This woman is quite talented, but it's a pity..." Liang Luoyao pointed to a poem written by Yun Jie.Liang Yibu leaned forward, and he knew which article Liang Luoyao was talking about by just looking at it. Liang Yibu read "Cloud Picks" several times when he got it.What Liang Luoyao said was a poem by Mrs. Wei:

Linjiangxian

How deep is the courtyard, and the Yunwu Pavilion is late in spring.For whom haggard loss Fangzi.Night comes to have a clear dream, it should be Fa Nanzhi.

The jade thin sandalwood lightly limits hatred, while the Qiang in the south tower stops blowing.Who knows when the fragrance is blown away.The warm wind is too late, don't go to the apricot blossoms.

Liang Yibu asked: "Could it be that my sister thinks the words are not well thought out? I don't know what my sister means by saying it's a pity?"

Liang Luoyao sighed: "It's a pity that the affection is so strong and the artistic conception is enough, but it seems like a boudoir who hates women, it's a pity that it's a talent."

Hearing Liang Luoyao's words, Liang Yibu knew that the opportunity to flatter him had come, and he said, "Among women, how many people can understand righteousness like my younger sister, and there are women who don't give in to men."

Liang Luoyao liked to hear these words, but she also felt a little numb, so she said: "Among the girls, I like Sister Yuexia, and I wanted to tell my brother that day. If it wasn't for the emperor's lust, I really couldn't bear to let her let's go."

Liang Yibu frowned: "Sister, do you know if you are getting married this month?"

"Oh..." Liang Luoyao was interested. For the first time in this long time, she raised her head and didn't keep looking at the cloud pick in her hand. "Who are you marrying?"

That day Liang Yibu chased Yuexia, but he really wanted to kill Yuexia. Yuexia knew too many things, but he also heard about Wang Pang's marriage.It was Liang Yuexia who sent someone to inquire about the bride, and she hated and itched in her heart. "It's the king you admire." He pointed to "Cloud Extraction".

Now Luoyao is more interested in Wang Pang, especially Wang Pang's wedding banquet, which is unique.Think about it, even if I become a queen, I just had an affair with Li Liangzuo, and went directly to the palace without a formal marriage.There was some envy in my heart, and the fantasies that women only have.

Liang Yibu saw that Luoyao was a little distracted, so he said: "Yuexia married well, not as well as my younger sister. If my younger sister hadn't made the right choice between Li Xili and Wuzang back then, and she later understood the righteousness, how can she marry now?" to be queen."

Luo Yao frowned when she heard this, whether her brother was praising herself or scolding herself.She said faintly: "That Li Xili's personality is too similar to his elder brother Li Ningming, it's hard to be grand."

"Then why does my sister still keep this person?" Liang Yi was puzzled in his heart.

"What's the matter, the name can only be smooth. You and I are both relatives. If there is a problem with the emperor one day, the prince is still young. There must be a name." Although Luoyao said it cryptically, Liang Yibu already understood her sister's intentions. mean.He also knew that Li Xili's character was indeed very similar to Li Ningming.

In the first year of Yanzuo's reign (1038), Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor, and Li Yeli was the queen of Xiancheng.Queen Yeli had three sons. The eldest son was Li Ningming, who was made the crown prince in the same year.Prince Li Ning is well aware of etiquette, eager to learn, and understands righteousness, but his character is incompatible with his father.The prince is kind by nature, dislikes glory and wealth, believes in Taoism and fantasizes about becoming a fairy.

Li Yuanhao once asked what is the "way of governing the country." Li Ningming replied: "Don't be good at few desires." Li Yuanhao was furious and scolded: "You kid speaks nonsense, and you are not a talent for becoming a leader." He didn't like him very much and ordered the prince not to allow it. See you.

The prince didn't take it seriously, and simply concentrated on learning Qigong.Later, he went into a maddened state, and died of being unable to eat due to anger.Before he died, the benevolent prince left his last words, saying that the people in the world are suffering from drought, and he hoped that he would be buried in a white robe after his death, so as to make up for his failure to comfort the people in the world for his parents.When Yuan Hao saw his son's suicide note, he was also quite sad, and he ordered a grand funeral for him according to the prince's specifications, and changed Li Ningming's younger brother, Ning Lingge, the second son of Queen Yeli, as the prince.

And after Brother Ningling was framed by Wuzang and died, Li Xili watched helplessly that his two older brothers and his biological mother were dead. Even if Li Xili's personality was similar to Li Ningming's, he would still be touched. Think about what you should do.
