Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Li Liangzuo's team entered Xingqing Mansion, people could only hear the sound of horseshoes and footsteps; there was no drumming, no procession to welcome them; no people cheering.Everything was going on silently. The soldiers of Yiwei Division kneeling on both sides were drooping under the scorching sun, and the common people watched the army secretly from the crack of the door.People secretly looked at the 16-year-old emperor. They didn't know that in Li Liangzuo's heart, he had secretly sworn, "Jiao Siluo, I must take revenge."

Li Liangzuo, who was riding on a horse and surrounded by left and right, frowned tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were tightly closed, his anger could be seen, but his frustration and resentment could not be seen.Since he ascended the throne, he has suffered many defeats, big and small, and this is the first time he has suffered such a miserable defeat.He was defeated externally by Jiao Siluo and internally by ministers, but he still held his head up high.

This time he is determined to govern Xixia well. He seems to have understood that some things cannot be resolved by fighting.He desperately hopes that someone like Wang Pang can help him, so that he can truly understand how to become as powerful as Jiao Siluo.

In the tower of Chengtian Temple not far from Xingqing Mansion, Wang Bang watched everything that happened in Xingqing Mansion from a distance. Although he didn't hear the conversation, everything happened as he expected.Cheers and whistles erupted behind him, Wang Pang turned around, behind Zhang Ping, Zhe Kejun and two or three apprentices of He Xingyuan, high-fiving each other to show their congratulations.

There was joy in Zhang Ping's tone. They admired Wang Pang so much. How could it be a cool word to work beside Wang Pang: "My lord, what are you going to do next?" thing. [

Wang Pang knew that Li Liangzuo had only two possibilities now, whether he was completely convinced by himself or became angry from embarrassment is still unknown.But no matter which one it is, he will not be far away from leaving Xingqing Mansion.

With a red heart and two hands ready, he sent He Xingyuan's apprentices back to the city first to inquire about the situation; then he ordered Zhang Ping to quietly bring Wu Su, and ordered Zhe Kejun to go to Manbaa's mansion to inquire.

When Wu Su was led quietly by Zhang Ping, his legs were no longer shaking, but his heart was still pounding at the thought of picking up the head and throwing it down the wall. "Oh! You don't know, I was scared to death at that time." He said so, but his eyes showed excitement.

Zhang Ping laughed out loud. After all, this Wu Su killed someone for the first time, especially on such an occasion, he teased Wu Su jokingly: "Aren't you afraid that that spicy thunder will bite you?"

Wu Su stared into his eyes: "Why are you not afraid? I felt my head was hot at the time, and I still have goose bumps when I think about it now. Why can't I describe the feeling at that time?" He scratched his head while talking.

Wang Pang saw that although Wu Su was just a small foreman of Yi Wei Division, he was also well-armored and energetic, and he was a burly man like Wu Ling.He once heard from Wu Ling that this cousin was aggressive since he was a child, and later he became a soldier and slowly worked his way up to being the leader of this squad. Although he has never experienced a battlefield, he is by no means a timid person.

Wang Pang is confident that since he can entrust Wu Su to do this job, he will definitely not misunderstand the person.He and Wu Su jokingly said, "Isn't it too exciting?"

Wu Su patted his thigh: "Hey, I still have to say it's Mr. Wang, yes, it's too exciting." After speaking, he laughed, and Wang Pang and Zhang Ping also laughed when they saw him like that.

Wu Su suddenly remembered: This matter is over, what should I do next.He looked at Wang Pang and asked doubtfully: "My lord, do you think I have made a meritorious service?" It seems that he has not fully believed this fact in his heart.

Wang Pang deliberately frightened him and said, "If you kill your immediate boss, you can't tell whether you will be promoted or lose your head."

Wu Su's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he said with a hey: "Anyway, it's a joyful thing to do, that Ji Lalei and his son are bullying others, we have long been disgusted with him, if the court blames me, I simply don't do it anymore Follow the son and forget it."

When Wang Pang heard how this would work, then he had cultivated his insiders in vain. He hadn't spoken yet, so Wu Su smiled: "If I can lose my head, I wouldn't dare to do it? Didn't you say that I have something to find?" Man Chang? I always said that General Man Chang told me to keep an eye on Dianji Lalei, and if I wanted to lose my head, I would bring one bigger than mine."

That's more or less the same, this Wu Su is still somewhat careful.Zhang Ping joked: "The credit is also long?"

But Wu Su said carelessly: "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Even if it's ordinary, I, Wu Su, showed my face today. Besides, is there a son who is worried about not making great achievements in the future?" This kid can say enough.

Seeing that Wu Su was so sensible, Wang Pang didn't need to tell him anything, so he asked again, "Does Man Chang know that Wu Su and I know each other?"

Wu Su whispered mysteriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I just pretended to complain to him about the confusion of the Yiwei Division's military aircraft, and hoped to follow the usual routine, so I talked to him; I will deal with you privately. I didn't even tell my mother-in-law."

Wang Pang asked Wu Su to go back and wait at ease, and Wu Su left happily.Zhe Kejun also came back, and the news he inquired from Manbaa's mansion was Manbaa's savior, and Li Liangzuo respected the veteran Manbaa even more after going through adventures.Wang listened and felt more at ease.

The three of them left the tower and returned to the city. Disfigured and disabled soldiers could be seen everywhere. There was already a long queue at the only pharmacy in the city.Seeing these people frowning and sighing because of pain and resentment, Wang Pang thought that most of the people who could go back to Xingqing Mansion were injured or slightly injured, and those who were seriously injured might have been left on the road. How many people will be devastated by the heat and displaced.Fortunately, Ji Lalei's plot did not succeed. If Ji Lailei succeeds in Li Liangzuo's attack on the city, then Xingqing Mansion in Xixia will be another massacre.

At this time, Liang Luoyao and Liang Yibu also felt lucky. Liang Yibu was thinking about how to avoid Li Xili and withdraw into the palace. I feel weak in my legs.He didn't care too much, turned around and ran to the inner house, hid in the room and covered his head with a sheet, trembling all the time. [

Liang Luoyao was much better than his elder brother. What she planned was not to convene the ministers to discuss matters. Seeing what the ministers said, she had the crown prince in her hands, so she half-heartedly listened to the government behind the curtain, and the rest of the matter would be easy.But before his plan was implemented, he was invited to Qianlong Palace by Manchang.

She was pacing restlessly in the center of the hall, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside, Liang Luoyao walked to the door of the hall, and listened to the movement outside through the crack of the door.He heard the guards report to Man Chang that the emperor had already led the team into the palace.Liang Luoyao's heart skipped a beat, but when she heard that Ji Lailei had been beheaded at the top of the city, Liang Luoyao's heart sank. Anyway, the matter of collusion was a deadly confrontation, so she felt relieved.

Liang Luoyao turned her head to look at the dragon species sleeping on the crib, she took off the phoenix hairpin and Zhucui from her head.He made his hair messy on purpose, and wiped off the rouge and gouache on his face with a handkerchief, making himself look haggard.Then, she picked up the sleeping prince, walked to the door of the main hall, and asked outside: "General Man, is there any news about Sheng Jia?"

Li Liangzuo returned to the palace and saw that the palace was safe and sound. He tried his best to appease the ministers and everyone. When he returned to the inner palace, the queen saw Liang Luoyao holding the prince in her arms, with teary eyes drooping and haggard.The little emperor Li Liangzuo was very moved, he didn't know that it was this Liang Luoyao who almost allyed with outsiders to harm him.

Even if he lost the battle, he should be rewarded according to his merits. On the second day, Li Liangzuo made Manbaa the prime minister, and rewarded Manchang and Feilongyuan guards heavily.All the officers and soldiers who went to war were rewarded with pensions.Li Liangzuo ordered Wusu to accept the appointment, and Wusu finally stood on the Xixia Jinluan Palace.

Today's Wu Su is not as nervous as yesterday. Li Liangzuo saw that Wu Su was eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance and a dignified appearance, but he was a general. The credit goes to General Man Chang, thanks to General Man Chang’s suggestion, I made this move.”

There was a lot of praise from the court, some praised Man Chang, and even praised Wu Su for his courage and loyalty.

Manbaa was even more happy when he heard that, he suggested to Li Liangzuo that Ji Lalei, the commander of Yiwei Sima Budu, has been executed and his position is vacant.

Li Liangzuo sized Wu Su up and asked, "If you are promoted to the command of the Ma Budu, would you be willing?"

Wu Su thought for a while, and if he was promoted too quickly, it would be easy for him to attract attention. He hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm a rough man who doesn't know too many official rules. I will transfer to Feilongyuan to work with General Manchang." The entire imperial city is under the jurisdiction of Feilongyuan, and in Feilongyuan, I have the opportunity to have close contact with the emperor.What Wu Su wanted was not an official but this opportunity.

Man often hears Wu Su say this, and he is also happy in his heart, but he never thought that Wu Su would repay his kindness.Li Liangzuo felt that this person was useful, and that Feilongyuan was in charge of an important place, so he must be a loyal and available person, so he transferred Wusu to Feilongyuan to assist Manchang, and made him a fifth-rank official.

Now Wu Su thanked Shengen, took the gold and silver official uniforms bestowed by Li Liangzuo, and went home to celebrate.He had fun while walking, since he got to know Wang Pang, the wealth and official luck has been rising steadily.But he didn't forget that he is a Han Chinese, and he will have a bright future if he gradually obeys and assists the king in the future.

What surprised the ministers was that they thought that Li Liangzuo would summon the king in the court, but Li Liangzuo didn't mention a word. Does the emperor want to let the matter of doing business with Song go?But Li Liangzuo didn't mention it, no one dared to ask, especially when the emperor had just lost the battle, who had no eyebrows to touch this brow.

After Li Liangzuo retired from court, he called Manchang, and the two changed into casual clothes and slipped out of the palace quietly.Li Liangzuo is young, but he has his own accounts in his heart. He wants to thank Wang Pangzhi for his kindness first, and ask for advice on how to govern the country and the army, and then talk about business.
