Compete for the Song Dynasty

When everyone heard that Xixia Li Liangzuo sent troops, they all felt very strange. Didn't Wang Pang go to Xixia to discuss trade last time and made a negotiable agreement, so he couldn't negotiate a war for the sake of safe border exchanges?

Lu Shenyan said nervously: "This is troublesome. There are tea farms of the second son in Yanzhou and other places. If there is a war, the business will be impossible."

Zhao Zhongzhen stopped him: "Steward Lu knows about your second son's business, but I think that if you don't fight your tea farm, you may not be able to do business. Xixia Li Liangzuo sent troops this time, just to annoy me about the progress of the Song Dynasty's business. Moreover, the imperial court sent people to take over the border tea farms, and the people who went there raised the taxes on goods from Xixia to the Song Dynasty, and also increased the price of tea. This made Li Liangzuo angry and sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty."

"Should!" Lu Shenyan said the word bitterly, and suddenly everyone looked at him, knowing that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Don't get me wrong, I said 'should' because the person who took over should be held accountable. Human responsibility, if there is an explanation, the border will naturally be peaceful, eldest son, do you think what I said is right."

Wang Yu nodded, he knew in his heart that the cause of this incident was Song Yingzong Zhao Shu.But in front of Zhongzhen, no matter how resentful he was, he couldn't say anything, not to mention that everyone knew that Zhao Zhongzhen had done his best in this matter against Wang Pang. [

Wang Shao sighed and said, "It's a pity that Wang Shilang is not here, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through such a hassle."

Zhao Zhongzhen looked at Wang Shao, and he felt that Wang Shao seemed to have made a very important discovery: "Zichun, what did you just say Wang Shilang entrusted you? Could it be related to fighting Xixia?"

Wang Shao nodded and said: "Yes, to take Xixia, you must restore Hehuang first, so that the Xia people will suffer from the enemy. This is what I have traveled all over Hehuang and other places over the years, observing the terrain, and investigating the relationship between Xixia and Tubo and other ethnic groups near Hehuang. In addition, Wang Shilang asked me to write a copy of "Pingrong Policy". When I return to the capital this time, I just want to calm down and sort out the materials to do this with Wang Shilang."

Zhao Zhongzhen's heart moved when he heard this, Wang Shao is a talent, just like if his theory is adopted by his father, it will be worrying to take down the border of Xixia. "Zichun, just concentrate on writing. By the way, where do you live when you return to the capital?"

Wang Shao replied: "At present we live in the mansion, and I will inform you when I decide on a specific place to live, and I will also keep in touch with you often, so that I can hear about my brother Ruo as soon as possible."

Hearing what Wang Shao said, Zhao Zhongzhen proposed: "Zichun is my brother Ruo's friend, that is, a friend of all of us. If you don't dislike it, can you ask Zichun to move to my house? We can also do it in normal times." Exchange more strategies for peace.”

Wang Shao only knew that the man in front of him was a county king, but seeing that Zhao Zhongzhen was young but behaved well, he felt that Wang's friends were not too bad. "This, won't it be too much trouble?"

Zhong Zhen waved his hand: "Don't bother me, I don't have any companions in my Nuo Da mansion on weekdays, and I hope that everyone will come and go frequently."

Yuan Ze hurriedly said to Wang Shao: "Thank you, the county king, for your kindness."

Wang Shao thanked Zhao Zhongzhen, he was only thinking about what he said just now downstairs, he didn’t know the official family when he was not in the capital, and it’s normal to be a descendant of a king in Mengyin, the capital, but he didn’t know at the moment, the person who invited him to the mansion The boy is the prince of the current emperor and the future king of the Song Dynasty.

What Wang Shao said is correct. Xixia has Daliao to the north and Song to the east, and Hehuang and Qinghai are not only rich in products, but if Tubo and Song join hands, Xixia will definitely be put in a position to be attacked by the enemy.Not only Wang Shao saw this, but Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Xixia, also realized it.

During this period of time, Li Liangzuo was not idle at all. Li Liangzuo led the Xixia generals to launch many wars against Tubo, occupied Hehuang and Qinghai, and recruited Yuzang Huama, the leader of Tubo in Xiyu City (now Dingxi County, Gansu).While consolidating the results, Li Liangzuo was actively conducting business with Song State with full of hope, but after Renzong's death and Yingzong's ascension to the throne, the whole discussion of going crazy was hanging in the middle.

Li Liangzuo sent someone to inquire about Wang Pang's news, knowing that Wang Pang had been sent to the Liao Kingdom to celebrate Tai Sui's birthday, he thought that Wang Pang would be able to return to Song State soon to manage Xixia and Song State with peace of mind. After receiving the news that made him very angry, Yingzong refused to let Wang Pang return to the Song Dynasty.

Now Li Liangzuo was angry, and then he heard that the border market was not an equal deal he wanted at all. The only thing he could think of was to come to the military if the text is not good enough, and send troops to fight me!

Xixia had just ordered all the soldiers and horses, and Song Yingzong gave in before they fought, and everything was done according to the original negotiation.Song Yingzong was a little cowardly, he had no choice but to be cowardly, he knew in his heart that this battle would not be fought.When I first came to power, I had no soldiers, no generals, and the national treasury was still so short, so I didn't do business and make money, and there was no chance of winning if I wasted money and money. Yingzong had no other choice if he didn't make concessions.

Knowing that Song Yingzong had made concessions, Li Liangzuo set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, but he still felt a little regretful. At the banquet, Empress Liang Luoyao asked quietly: "The emperor has won several battles now, and he has reached his wish for Song without going out. , why is the Holy Majesty still unhappy?"

Li Liangzuo pointed to the officials drinking in the palace: "They don't know what I'm thinking, don't you know, Queen?"

Liang Luoyao said softly: "How could I not know? The emperor must miss that Wang Shilang, doesn't he? It's rare for the emperor to have someone to talk to. Now his family is under the control of the emperor Song, and he has to go to Korea as an envoy. Everyone in the world knows."

Li Liangzuo took a sip of his wine and said depressedly: "Yes, everyone in the world knows it, and I also know that the Liao Kingdom has lent soldiers to my brother, but as his brother-in-law, I can't do anything!" [

Brother?Liang Luoyao was taken aback when she heard this, "Since when did the emperor become his righteous brother?"

"The last time I attacked Jiao Siluo, Wang Shilang saved my life. Queen, you also know that if others know that I insist on worshiping the king as my brother, I will lose face. Besides, the emperor of Song Kingdom is so stingy now. If he Knowing that Wang Pang is my adopted brother, don’t you want to find a reason to punish my elder brother.”

Liang Luoyao smiled when she heard this, this Wang Pang was lukewarm towards herself, but she had a little affection for Li Liangzuo.But since they are sworn brothers, they are not afraid that Wang Pang will not come to Xixia in the future.Sooner or later it will be her own food, Liang Luoyao doesn't believe that she won't get what she likes.

Seeing that the emperor was still unhappy, Liang Luoyao thought of a plan, she sighed and said: "Yes, the emperor also said that even Daliao has lent troops to the king, we have to do something for the righteous brother."

Li Liangzuo looked at Liang Luoyao, only to see Liang Luoyao with a bun and exposed temples, sweeping her brows and eyes with spring, such a gentle and understanding queen, who was so considerate of her feelings, he was moved and asked: "Queen, tell me, we What can you do for your brother?"

Liang Luoyao tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I also heard that the king of the Song Dynasty threatened Wang Pang's wife and children. No matter whether Wang Pang wins or loses, your nephew's safety is a concern. Why don't we take Wang Shilang The son received Xixia and took good care of him. He will also be with our prince, what do you think?"

When Li Liangzuo heard this, he chuckled: "Is the empress joking? How do you accept this? Song Guo is not willing to let people go?!"

Liang Luoyao stretched out her body and swayed it, put it to her mouth and hissed, and said softly: "The emperor wants to pick it up, for the safety of your brother-in-law, you must not let others know."

Li Liangzuo looked at Liang Luoyao and didn't understand what Liang Luoyao was thinking. Liang Luoyao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I know that there is an expert in Xixia who once worked for the Wuzang family.

After the Wuzang family was wiped out by the emperor, the emperor cherished this person's martial arts and specially pardoned this person's crimes. Now the emperor can summon him and let him go to the Song Dynasty to quietly pick up the son of the king. "

Li Liangzuo frowned and hesitated, "Is that so, okay?!"

Liang Luoyao said softly: "What's wrong? No one in the world knows that the emperor of the Song Dynasty can't tolerate the king's servant, and the king wants to kill his ministers, how dare he not die? If you, the son of a righteous brother, really has three strengths and two weaknesses, you are a brother in vain. .Besides, if the servant of the Heavenly King knows that you are so thoughtful for him, he will definitely be grateful."

"Okay, then let that expert bring my righteous brother's wife and children, and I will send someone to inform my righteous brother. It will save him from being coerced by the mad emperor. If one day he doesn't want to be an official in the Song Dynasty , come to our Xixia family reunion." Li Liangzuo finally smiled.

Liang Luoyao secretly laughed in her heart: silly boy, you think this is for the good of Wang Pang, how do you know that Wang Pang's parents, brothers and his evidence are all in the Song Kingdom, if the Emperor Song knew about this, he could easily let Wang Pang's family go ?What my aunt did was not just looking for an opportunity to blackmail this person.If Wang Pang is obedient and obedient, I will let his father and son recognize each other. If Wang Pang is dedicated to Da Song, one day in the future, I will let his son lead troops to fight Da Song.

Empress Liang Luoyao made up her mind, and sent someone to summon the high-ranking Xixia that Li Liangzuo had pardoned. This person had been to Song State several times, and it was Liang Yuexia who brought him back to Xixia.

Leng Qing, this person has disappeared for many years. Back then, Wuzang's conspiracy to usurp the throne was found out and his family was destroyed. As a member of the Wuzang family, Leng Qing was not only innocent but also meritorious for finding the Baishi God. Jo pardon.

Speaking of which, this person has a deep connection with Yuexia Wangpang, and now this person wants to go back to the past, but what he brings back is not Liang Yuexia, the incarnation of Baishi God, but Wangpang's wife and children.Leng Qing Lingzhi felt that it was Nai, no matter how he went around, he would never end with this little thing.As a master of Xixia, he arrested people from the Song Dynasty again and again, and each time he caught one person.

Fortunately, this time he "received" instead of catching. Even so, he also knew that this secret "received" person was no different from the previous two times.How could he "pick up" Yuexia's mother and child without being known?

If Wang Pang knew that so many things happened in Bianjing in Song Dynasty and Xingqing Mansion in Xixia, would he still feel at ease?In this matter, Wang Bang is commanding four armies, all the way to directly attack Hokkaido; all the way to supply Kyushu Island; all the way in the strait between Koryo and Japanese slaves to intercept the fleeing Japanese slaves; Wang Bang's commander is all the way from Pyongyang to Koryo's Tokyo Drive out the Japanese slaves.
