Compete for the Song Dynasty

The Xingqing Mansion of the Xixia Kingdom was very lively that day. The emperor went back to the city. From the gate of the city gate to the inner city of the Xingqing Mansion, soldiers stood on both sides of the place where the emperor's guard of honor passed.

Behind the soldiers are the common people who kneel to greet the saint.Hundreds of officials outside the imperial city lined up to greet each other, while the inner court of the imperial city lined up with ministers and concubines in the harem.All the places where the emperor passed by were paved with loess, the streets were splashed with clean water, and the places where the guard of honor passed were full of drums and music.

People with good deeds secretly took a look at the holy car, Longyan. After the guard of honor passed by, the officers and soldiers withdrew, and the people whispered: "Who is behind the emperor?"

Some said: "Isn't that elderly general the same as General Manba?"

"Yes, we all know this general. Who is that young man walking behind the emperor with the general?" [

Some said: "That doesn't seem to be an official, why does it look familiar?"

Three or five people got together and whispered together, among them was a young man in his twenties who frowned and said, "Why do I think this person is very similar to the person who taught Mr. Jila the other day?"

The other pouted and said: "You have a good idea. If it's that young master, I don't think your shopkeeper needs to be afraid of the hot young master. Why are you still selling out of the store?"

The young guy made a "hush" gesture: "Shut up, our Shopkeeper He's inventory notice is for outsiders to see. He is not short of this money. He has given this shop to our brothers, and we will keep it in the future." Listen to our big brother."

A few of them walked towards their respective shops while talking, and the older one said: "Xiao Wu, I heard that your shopkeeper is going to go with that prince, is it true?"

The one who was called Xiao Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but if you can take us away, we are willing to go with the shopkeeper."

The clerk at the grocery store next to him patted him: "You think beautifully. I heard that there are many young and beautiful women in the Central Plains. I still want to go."

Xiao Wu laughed and said, "We Han women are pretty."

The clerk in the grocery store is a native, he laughed and said: "But they are all like the Liang family, so I dare not ask for it." A few people understood and laughed and dispersed.

Xiao Wu returned to the blacksmith's shop and saw that He Xingyuan, the shopkeeper, had almost tidied up his things. He leaned over and said with a playful smile, "Master, our son is still young, and you need someone to take care of you, or you can talk to the prince again." Tell me, take me with you."

Xiao Wu is the youngest among Shopkeeper He's buddies, and Shopkeeper He patted him on the head: "Go to work honestly, don't say whether the prince will let you, didn't your cousin ask you to find a job in the guards?" , you don’t even go.”

Xiao Wu smiled foolishly: "I'm not going to work under Jila's subordinates for that stupid job. If you take me with you, I'll bid farewell to my cousin tomorrow."

He Xingyuan ignored him. If Wang Pang is willing, He Xingyuan is really willing to take Xiaowu with him. Although it is not too difficult to distinguish stones, among these apprentices, Xiaowu is good at learning. clever.

"By the way, Master, I just saw Mr. Wang." Xiao Wu remembered what he saw on the street just now.He Xingyuan hummed, but didn't reply, Xiao Wu said it was boring, and ran to the side to think about his own thoughts, wondering how he could make Master take him with him.

Li Liangzuo finally returned to the palace, Liang Luoyao led a team of harem concubines to pick him up outside the main hall, and some ministers helped Li Liangzuo get down from the dragon horse and phoenix chariot.Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao walked into the hall together, followed by civil and military officials. Among these people, Wang Pang had met and knew each other, but it was obviously not the time to say hello.

The sound of the drums stopped, and Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao sat on the throne dragon bed in the main hall, accepting the worship of all officials.Liang Luoyao looked up, and there was a crowd kneeling on the main hall, at the end of all the officials, a young man bowed his hands and bowed instead of kneeling.

She tugged at Li Liangzuo's sleeve, and Li Liangzuo saw it too, not only did he see it, he also looked at the man and smiled.Now Liang Luoyao became even more curious. Li Liangzuo patted her hand. After all the officials knelt down and saluted, they stood in two shifts, like Song officials. It is very gratifying to see that the court is safe and the officials are performing their duties."

He was not very old, but he spoke solemnly and decently, and then he ordered Wang Pang to come forward, and Wang Pang came forward to pay respects to the present and the future.Li Liangzuo introduced to everyone: "This envoy next to the king is the commercial envoy of the Song State. Now I want to express my sincerity in business to the Song State. I don't know if you have any objections."

It wasn't a day or two before Wang Pang came to Xiaguo. He gave a speech at the academy and some officials Wang Pang met under the arrangement of Li Xili.Of course, these people were in favor of opening up a market trade with the State of Song, and the first to speak were the deputy envoys of Qun Mu Si: Wu Hao and Xu Min, envoy of salt and iron.The two of them are running around for the horse market and the salt market.When Li Liangzuo was not in Xingqing Mansion, he also reported the memorial, which was all reviewed by Queen Liang, so naturally they were in favor of trade. [

At the same time, most Han officials also agreed, such as the officials of Kaifeng Mansion: Xue Yuanli; the deputy envoy of the third division Zhang Jiang.Even if there are people who oppose it, seeing that most people agree, it is the emperor's order, and the only official in the court who can sit on the court hall, the privy envoy Manbaa is stroking his self-rolled beard, squinting and nodding. Boss, who could object?

But Wang Pang barely heard the words played by the crowd. Ever since he approached Li Liangzuo and saw the queen Liang Luoyao beside the emperor, Wang Pang was a little at a loss.He tried his best to restrain his mind, and then refocused his attention on the statement of Xia Guo officials from his surprise.

Liang Luoyao is about 20 years old, with a phoenix hairpin on her head and exposed temples, her brows are light and her eyes are spring, and her face is like a peach blossom.Wearing a red narrow-fitting jacket and a red Confucian skirt embroidered with a golden phoenix, she doesn't look like a queen but a modern version of a bride, especially those bright eyes that seem to be amused.Sure enough, she was a stunning beauty, not inferior to Yuexia but much more beautiful than Yuexia.

A scene appeared in Wang Pang's mind like a movie, his newly married, the charming bride in the red Chinese cheongsam at the banquet.What Wang Bang was talking about was not the wedding between Song Dynasty and Yuexia, but the wedding in his previous life before time travel.These things flashed through his mind, not because he was fascinated by Queen Liang Luoyao, but because Liang Luoyao looked exactly like his wife in the previous life.

The woman who was going to be separated from him in the end, Wang Pang suddenly thought of Liang Luoyao's sophistication, which was the same as that woman's. It's not just an excuse for having someone outside.The real reason for the two to break up was not that he could not give her the life she wanted.

Thinking of this, Wang Pang felt a little blocked, and he also wanted to see Liang Luoyao again, and even felt a little disgusted with Liang Luoyao.But he didn't know that Liang Luoyao was also dumbfounded at this moment.

Li Xili is too literary, and Li Liangzuo is too domineering.Masculinity and demeanor are perfectly unified in Wang Pang, especially his proud demeanor, he doesn't even look at himself?Liang Luoyao was a little annoyed. Is there any man in the world who wouldn't fall for him?She can make the son of Wuzang Yupang jealous, she can also make Li Xili lose her mind, and she can even make Li Liangzuo make herself a queen.

But beside the king in front of him, not only did he not visit Xia Guo, but he was actually moved when he saw him.She thought about it for a second, and it was normal for the Confucianism of the Song people not to be disrespectful in public.

Everyone was discussing about the same, Li Liangzuo was satisfied, Liang Luoyao said in a low voice: "The emperor is tired today, why don't you rest first, and invite this envoy to the palace tomorrow, how about it?"

Li Liangzuo saw that there was no objection from the crowd, and asked, "In this case, which minister is willing to go to the Song Dynasty for me and offer a New Year gift to show the sincerity of business?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xili stood up and said: "I am willing to go." The king was invited by him, and it is normal to come and go. Besides, he is a relative of the emperor and a foreigner, and he is proficient in Han culture. It's the perfect candidate.Li Liangzuo also thought that this candidate was good, so he sent an order to let him prepare, and ordered to reward Wang Pang.

After arranging all these, Li Liangzuo decreed Wang Pang to enter the palace the next day, and he would personally carry it out for Wang Pang.Wang Pang went back to Guanyi to prepare, and asked Cai Jing to inform He Xingyuan.

Wang Pang is about to return to Bianjing, and He Xingyuan is about to leave.Xiao Wu also wanted to follow, he thought to himself that if Wang Pang didn't take him with him, he would follow him. Anyway, after leaving Xingqing Mansion, they would be embarrassed to send him back, so he made up his mind and went to find Tang. Brother, the foreman who works as a guard in the Yiwei Division bids farewell.

The two brothers drank some wine, the foreman was called away by the soldiers in Ji La's mansion, Xiao Wu poured himself a drink, and after an hour, the foreman seemed not so happy when he came back.Xiao Wu hurriedly asked why he was called away, but the foreman faltered and said, I think you should stop following.

Seeing that the cousin's expression was not right, Xiao Wu drank some more wine, and the foreman told the truth after being soft and hard.Tomorrow when the king enters the palace, it is their team who are on duty. Ji Laqing and Liang Yibu negotiated and asked them to guard at the "Guanghan Gate" and the north "Huaimen". The door can be cut first and played later.

Xiao Wu's cousin thought of what Xiao Wu said, after the emperor gave the practice to the king tomorrow, he would go with him.So he murmured in his heart that the king was from the state of Song, probably because he didn't know the taboo in the palace.I also guessed wildly, so I told Xiao Wu everything.

As soon as Xiao Wu heard this, he immediately put down his wine glass and went back to look for He Xingyuan. He Xingyuan was also shocked when he heard that, and immediately took Xiao Wu to the post where Wang Pang lived, and told Wang Pang about it again when he saw Wang Pang.

Wang Pang frowned and pondered, if it was Ji Laqing and Liang Yibu's idea, then he must be the one who broke into the Guanghan family.After thanking He Xingyuan, he asked if shopkeeper He knew about the taboo in the imperial city.

He Xingyuan chuckled, if you ask others, most of them may not know, if you ask him, you are asking the right person.He took out a specially brought picture from his bosom and said: "My lord, when my biological father was alive, I secretly drew this picture. It seems that it is really destined, and I actually used it today."

Wang Pang took the picture and was overjoyed. In the picture there were not only all the taboo gates of the palace, but also the names of the entire palace buildings, including Duanjing Hall, where the Prince Wang was looking for.
