Compete for the Song Dynasty

At sunset, smoke rose outside the tent, Li Liangzuo walked out from the big tent, he looked at the Xingqing Mansion a few miles away, it was his foundation, and it was his first step to dominate the world.

Li Liangzuo walked slowly in the company camp, thinking about what kind of attitude he should adopt next to the Han king who was going to meet in a while.Behind him were only two guards from Feilongyuan, watching him and the movement around him from a distance. The other soldiers were used to this young emperor who liked to be alone, and they were busy with their own affairs.

Li Liangzuo walked to General Manbaa's tent, and there were two voices talking inside.He could hear that one was Manbaa's old but powerful voice, and the other was probably the person from the Song Dynasty that Manbaa wanted to cite, his voice was very young but full of magnetism.

I was listening to Man Baa saying: "Officials should lead by example, and the children of officials should not act arbitrarily. There is nothing wrong with the young master's actions."

As the king of a country, there is no need for Li Liangzuo to stand outside the tent and listen to the conversation between the two. The soldiers outside the tent saw Li Liangzuo coming, and just saluted and spoke, Li Liangzuo waved his hand, then opened the curtain and left Come in. [

Manbaa and Wang Pang were very surprised to see Li Liangzuo in person, Manbaa hurriedly saluted, and Wang Pang also joined hands.Li Liangzuo looked at Wang with his hands behind his back, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

Li Liangzuo's surprise was that when he heard about the Song Dynasty's merchant envoy, he thought of the old master with a scholarly look and a dignified appearance, but when he heard that this person was relatively young, he thought that at best he was just like Li Xili.Seeing that Wang Pang was two or three years older than himself, he was handsome and tall, with very regular features, wise eyes, and a hint of arrogance at the corners of his mouth.Seeing that although he is saluting, he is not humble, and his gestures are quite dignified.

Wang Pang was also surprised to see Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo was the same age as Zhao Zhongzhen. Zhongzhen grew up in a honeypot.And Li Liangzuo's sword-like eyebrows are fierce, and the eyebrows are more mature and domineering. No wonder others commented on him, thinking that he could commit adultery with Liang Luoyao at a young age, and kill the authoritarian Wuzang family. Whether it is the former prince Ning Ling or Li Xili, the courage of dyeing the whole family is beyond the reach.

How important is the first impression? The first impression Wang Pang and Li Liangzuo met was the goodwill of both parties, but Li Liangzuo was the emperor of Xixia after all. Although he was young, he never obeyed others. He asked Manbaa: "The merchant envoy of Song State that Old General Man mentioned is this one."

Manbaa replied "exactly", Li Liangzuo suddenly put on a straight face, and asked: "You Song envoy, let me ask you, why did you Song state send you to be a commercial envoy while saying that you are a commercial envoy? my country deal?"

Li Liangzuo's words sounded like asking a teacher for a crime, Manbaa was taken aback, just now the little emperor was happy with the business envoy sent by the Song Dynasty, so if he turned his face and blamed him, if Wang Pang didn't answer well, wouldn't he even I also blame myself.He turned his head to look at Wang Pang, but saw Wang Pang smiling.

Wang Pang wanted to ask this question, but at first it sounded like a question, but from Li Liangzuo's mouth in front of him, he said his strength, but it was like a child arguing, if you want to lift me, I will accompany you, and it is not bad to tease the child.He knew in his heart that Li Liangzuo must have played his cards out of common sense, otherwise, how could he wander into the general's tent.So he looked at Li Liangzuo and said, "Why did you, Emperor Xia, turn to the Song Dynasty and ask for your Han surname, and at the same time use soldiers to plunder the city of the Song Kingdom?"

After speaking, the two looked at each other, which frightened Manbaa. Manbaa was not a timid person, but he knew that Li Liangzuo's strikes were heavy and ruthless.Ever since Li Liangzuo was destroyed, no one had dared to speak to him like that.

There was silence in the tent, Man Baa looked at the two young men who were looking at each other.Looking at each other, Wang Pang and Li Liangzuo seemed to see a common temperament, that is disobedience and domineering, suddenly the two laughed at the same time.

Wang Pang cupped his hands and said: "It is rumored that today is a young hero, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. Going back to the question of today, if the Song Kingdom does not send a merchant envoy, how will we coordinate and untie the ban?"

Li Liangzuo smiled with his hands behind his back. Hearing what Wang Pang said, he said: "I want to get close to the Song Dynasty, but they always reject me. Of course I want to fight. There is a righteousness between countries. If you want to come You think so too, don't you?"

The king said: "Now you know the righteousness of the country. Please be careful when you do the thing of using troops to plunder the city. Otherwise, it will cause the disaster of swords and soldiers of the two countries, and the common people will be ruined. Isn't it a waste of righteousness?"

Li Liangzuo looked at the king, and said with a smile: "You are the merchant envoy of the Song Dynasty, and you are not here to talk and fight, right?"

Wang Pang also chuckled: "Since ancient times, the Ming emperors have yearned for the culture of the Central Plains. Only by strengthening themselves can they dominate the world. In terms of business or culture with the Central Plains, if there is no communication, how to grow the economy. If the economy is not strong, the people will suffer the same."

What Wang Pang said about dominating the world is exactly what Li Liangzuo yearned for. Although he matured early, he was able to achieve today by relying on his bravery as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.But no one really taught him the way of a king.He was established as a prince at the age of one, and he was always at the mercy of others like a puppet. He has made today with his determination. Li Liangzuo is still tempted by Wang Pang's words.

He walked into the tent and saw a strangely shaped charcoal pot in the middle of the place where the two had just sat down. He motioned for Wang Pang and Man Baa to sit down and talk, and he also sat opposite them. The three surrounded the pot, At this time, the charcoal in the pot and the water in the sink on the outer ring boiled, and it was very warm to sit here.

After sitting down, his tone softened a lot, but he still stared at Wang Pang and said, "It's strange that you are an ambassador. It is you, Song, who forbids me to use the Chinese surname, and it is you, Song, who forbids me to discuss it, but you came here again. What does it mean to be a business envoy?"

Wang Pang still kept smiling. Seeing that his tone was relaxed, he knew that he said that he had lost his mind, so he replied: "I have come to Xia, and I have not communicated with the government. I am a businessman and a subject of Song. Of course I hope that Song and Xia will communicate with each other without a war, so that our merchants and subjects can benefit, and the people's wealth can make the country strong. Do you think so today?"

Li Liangzuo warmed his hands while using the heat from the pot, and said: "You are right, but if you don't open a discussion, how can you do business." [

Seeing that Li Liangzuo was able to enter his own words, Wang Pang guided him step by step and said, "I came because of the wishes of the subjects, but I still have to make a statement today. It would be insincere to ask for a discussion while attacking the city. Xia Guoneng has sincerity, and I am willing to deal with it to achieve the wish of trade between the two countries."

Li Liangzuo laughed when he heard this: "My lord, I admire your courage. Regardless of the righteousness between Xia Guo and Song Guo, I will make you a friend. When I return to Xingqing Mansion for business, I will immediately send someone to escort Wang. You are going back to the Song Kingdom, and accompanied by New Year's Day gifts. You can coordinate with the young master, how do you think this is good?"

Wang stood up and bowed to salute: "Thank you for your love today. Wang is a class of grassroots. It is also a blessing for the subjects of Xia and Song to be honored. At this age, he understands righteousness so well. Wait some time Presumably Xia Guo will also shake the country's prestige."

No matter how mature Li Liangzuo was, he was not more than fifteen or sixteen years old, so he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he heard this. He grinned, showing his white teeth and dimples, and his smile was very sunny and bold.It's no wonder that Liang Luoyao is attracted to Li Liangzuo, this guy is pretty, and as for Li Liangzuo's lust, it's probably because of his looks that attract people's attention.

Wang Pang breathed a sigh of relief, this Li Liangzuo did not play the cards according to common sense, his judgment was right, but if Zhong Zhen succeeds in the future, Li Liangzuo will definitely be a strong enemy of the Song Dynasty.

Li Liangzuo turned his gaze to Man Baa and said: "Your Majesty Man, it's really extraordinary, why don't we have a meal together later and have a few drinks, I've also seen how much this prince can drink."

Man Baa hurriedly replied: "Report to the Emperor..."

Li Liangzuo stopped him: "Old General Man, don't look outside, in terms of age and seniority, you are my elder and a hero who protects the country. Don't talk about one emperor, and now you are not in the main hall. Those red tapes are the most annoying , you still call me Liang Zuo. We can drink and talk freely."

Seeing what Li Liangzuo said, Man Baa did not refute, he also relied on his status, and at the same time knew that the emperor had such a temper.Wang Pang thought that this kid was scheming, so these old officials would naturally love him even more, so that they would not catch him as unsuitable for governing the country because of his young age.So it seems that Li Xili has no hope of showing his face.

Manbaa said: "Liang Zuo, this prince brought you a gift, but I don't know if you like it or not."

After speaking, he pointed to the charcoal pot in front of them, Li Liangzuo said: "This guy is new, but it's not as good as a hand stove, and it's troublesome to carry."

Wang Pang smiled: "Then please General Manbaa to present what you have prepared, and let Jinshangpin try it."

Li Liangzuo was very curious when he saw that there were other things. He saw that during the order of Manbaa, an attendant brought fresh lamb meat that had been prepared, cut it into slices and put it on the plate, as well as fresh beef. The rest of the plates were raw fresh vegetables.These are placed all around the charcoal pot.Another entourage brought up sesame oil ingredients prepared by Wang Pang himself.

"This, this is?" Li Liangzuo wondered, what is the use of these raw food.

Manbaa said: "Today, the old minister invites the Holy One to have a meal here. This is the prince who specially hosted a banquet for the Holy One on the way. Please show me the prince."

Wang Pang suppressed a smile in his heart, took the chopsticks, picked up the meat slices, boiled them in a charcoal pot, put them in a small bowl, dipped them in small ingredients, put them in his mouth, and sighed in his heart, this ancient wild-raised mutton did not eat feed , the taste is delicious.

Seeing him like this, Li Liangzuo also imitated Wang Pang's appearance and started cooking meat.This Xixia person often eats meat, but most of it is grilled or fried. What's more, he is a prince, and the cash is the emperor, so what he eats is cooked meat.It was the first time to eat such raw meat and lettuce.

Pick it up and dip it in the seasoning and put it in your mouth. Not to mention the delicious gravy, the aroma of the seasoning also comes with the aroma of the freshly cooked meat.Li Liangzuo took two bites and put down his chopsticks: "It's so delicious. Drink, drink!"

Sitting in a tent this winter, drinking heavily, and eating hot-boiled meat, such a comfortable and warm atmosphere is more pleasant than sitting in the empty and cold hall, watching the half-cold food, and the faces of the courtiers wearing masks. Make this little emperor very happy.It also made Li Liangzuo and Wang Bang a lot closer.
