Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang suddenly saw Xie Libo, he was surprised and delighted. He and Xie Libo had been together day and night for four or five years, fighting side by side.From Helibo to apprentice Di Qing, the two are not only senior brothers, but also close friends, and it can be said that they are brothers and sisters.Asking Xie Libo to go back to revitalize the Wanyan tribe is something Wang Pang has always been brooding about.Now, Xie Libo suddenly appeared in front of him, and Wang Pang froze there.

Xie Libo patted him: "Hey, brother, don't you recognize me? Why are you in a daze!"

Today, when he was conferred the title of Zhennan King in the palace, the king did not show his inner joy in front of the emperor, prince and prime minister.But this time, in front of his own people, Wang Pang laughed loudly: "Hahaha, brother He, how can I not know you? It's just that I haven't seen you for more than a year, and my brother is getting more and more handsome, almost catching up with me That's why I was in a daze!" The people in the hall who spoke next to Wang burst into laughter.

Wang Pang hurriedly introduced the impeachment bowl, Hou Shuxian, Chen Kang, etc., and the chief manager of the mansion, Lu Shenyan, had already ordered people to prepare a banquet. When everyone gathered together, Wang Pang put aside all his worries and had a drink with everyone.

Early in the morning of the second day, the imperial court's decree conferring Wang Pang Zhennan King, and the bounty for Wang Pang arrived at the mansion.On the forehead outside the gate of the mansion, a plaque of the new Zhennan Palace was hung.The king received the order, and all the ceremonies were completed, and the people in the house congratulated one after another.Wang Pang convened everyone to discuss the matter and asked everyone to report on the situation: Hearing the operation of the various places, especially the restoration of the prosperity of Jinxiang Mansion, Wang Pang was half relieved.As long as Jinxiang Mansion can operate normally, he can use the coal resources in his hand to do many things in the future. [

Wang Pang ordered everyone to prepare separately, and sent Zhang Ping to Yongzhou to contact Nan Jifeng and Wa Zhuang. Ten days later, Wang Pang set off for Yongzhou.This time Wang Pang will bring many people to Yongzhou, leaving Lu Shenyan to continue to take care of the mansion, almost everyone except Jinxiang Mansion will follow Wang Pang to the south.Everyone listened to Wang Pang saying that they were going to flex their muscles in Guangnan, and everyone was eager to try.After everyone dispersed, Hou Shuxian and He Xingyuan stayed behind. He Xingyuan had important news for Wang Bang this time.

In front of the discussion table, sitting next to the king were Hou Shuxian and He Xingyuan. These two gentlemen were both about 50 years old. Needless to say, Hou Shuxian was his father’s adviser to the shogunate; .

Regarding this He Xingyuan, in fact, he also has a background. He met Wang Pang in Xingqing Mansion when Wang Pang was on an envoy to Xixia, and he has been following Wang Pang all the time. Counting it, he has been by Wang Pang's side for four or five years.He Xingyuan's ancestor was Empress Xiaohui He of Song Taizu. After the death of Song Taizu, the second year of Taizong's succession, the year name was changed.Taizong "forced" to kill Taizu's two sons, and Taizu's widow also died mysteriously and violently.Empress He's people were squeezed out and suppressed, and some of them fled the Song Dynasty at that time.

He Xingyuan's father, He Chengzhen, was in charge of building Xingqing Mansion when Li Deming, Emperor Taizong of Western Xia, moved his capital to Xingqing Mansion.He Xingyuan also served as an official in Xixia, but he was tired of official struggles, so he opened a blacksmith shop with a few apprentices.These apprentices are also descendants of the Song people.Among them, Wu Ling, known as Xiao Wu, is Wang Pang's favorite general, and he is extremely accurate in identifying various ores.The other four apprentices, under the arrangement of Wang Pang, also operated a salt farm and a medicine factory in Xixia.On the surface, these seem to be normal, but Wang Pang is indeed the hidden major shareholder behind the salt that holds the lifeblood of the Xixia people, and the "medicine" that the Xixia people don't understand the most.

Moreover, He Xingyuan and Wu Ling also had a close relationship with one person, Wu Ling's cousin Wu Su.A few years ago, Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Xixia, led troops to attack Tubo. Lalei, a native of Xingqing Prefecture, and his father and son, Laqing, plotted to usurp power.At that time, Wu Su was just a guard of the imperial city. Under Wang Pang's precise planning, Wu Su staged a show of beheading the traitor and the savior in Xingqing's mansion.A few years have passed, and Wu Su is already the leader general of Feilongyuan.

In the past few years, Wang Pang has had very little contact with Xixia. He also knows that President Li Liangzuo has friction with Da Song, but it is not yet the time when the situation will break out, so Wang Pang does not usually contact Wu Su.But this time, He Xingyuan brought an unexpected news from Wu Su.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, He Xingyuan said to the king: "My lord, before I came back this time, Wu Su sent someone to look for me. He said that once he overheard Li Liangzuo and Queen Liang Luoyao quarreling, it was about you about his son."

"Huh?" Wang Pang's nerves immediately tensed up.

"Wu Su listened carefully. It basically said that when you were sent as an envoy to Korea, Li Liangzuo sent people to sneak into the Song Dynasty. At that time, he wanted to take your wife and children to Xixia, but he didn't mean to threaten him. It exceeded Li Liangzuo's expectations..."

"Go on!"

"Specifically, he didn't know. He only said the original words. Li Liangzuo asked Liang Luoyao: "Since the fire is related to us, where is the son of the king?" Liang Luoyao said: "No one thought that this happened, you Afraid that the king will ask you for a son? Doesn’t he be thinking of you when he comes?’”

After Wang listened, his heart seemed to be raised in his throat: "So my son has disappeared?"

He Xingyuan shook his head and said: "From the tone of voice, it seems that Li Liangzuo doesn't know, but Empress Liang Luoyao is very suspicious!"

This was something that Wang Pang had never thought of. Although he sent people to investigate everywhere, there was still no progress.It had been two years since the incident, and suddenly hearing such news gave Wang Pang a glimmer of hope in his heart.Wang Pang frowned and pondered for a while: "It seems that only when I see Li Liangzuo will this matter come to fruition."

"My lord, do you want to go to Xixia?" Hou Shuxian asked.

Wang Pang didn't answer, he really wanted to go now, if he could find out his son's whereabouts, at least he would explain to Yuexia.

Hou Shuxian shook his head: "My lord, I heard what you said just now, it's useless for you to see Li Liangzuo, and he doesn't know. It's better to wait for the news to be more definite before making a decision. Besides, you are going south now to do big things... ..."

There was a wry smile on the side of the king. He understood what Hou Shuxian said: "Two gentlemen, don't worry, there are frequent conflicts between Xixia and our Song border. There is no emperor's order at this time, and it is not appropriate for me to go. Mr. He, send someone to continue to investigate. Hou Sir, back then my father talked about the evils of the present with tens of thousands of words. I sent someone to take you back to Linchuan first, and collect them. I will go when I finish my business in the capital and pass through Linchuan. This time, we have arrived in Yongzhou. Let’s start to implement my father’s ideas one by one. Once we find problems in actual operation, we can correct them in time.”

Hearing what Wang Pang said, Mr. Hou felt very relieved. This prince really has ambitions in his heart and is a person who does things, so he will not follow the wrong person. [

Hou Shuxian and He Xingyuan retreated, and there was only one person next to Wang in the spacious conference hall, and now he calmed down.The disappearance of his son has something to do with Xixia?Even though Wang Pang was able to understand the past and the present, he couldn't find any information related to the whereabouts of his own son.Wang Pang secretly made up his mind, Li Liangzuo, Liang Luoyao, no matter who you are, as long as I find out that your son's disappearance is related to your Xixia, I will never let you go easily.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Pang walked out of the conference hall, followed by the guard Han Derong, Wang Pang waved his hand: "You also go to prepare for the south, I will walk around the mansion by myself!".With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the inner house's study room, walked through the garden, and walked around the corridor, when he suddenly saw a man sitting in the corridor, Wang Pang walked up to him and asked, "Brother He, why are you here?"

"Where can I be? I can't listen to your discussion now!" Xi Libo complained a little unhappy.

"Brother, don't be angry, I stayed at the mansion on purpose today, just to chat with my brother!" Wang Pang said with a smile.

Xie Libo stood up: "It seems that you are alienating me, and you still accompany me specially? Then you don't do anything in the future, just accompany me every day!"

Wang listened to his words and remembered that he hadn't asked Xie Libo about his itinerary for this trip. He couldn't just ask when he arrived yesterday when he was leaving. "Brother, if you want, I can accompany you every day, hahaha!"

These words finally made Xi Libo forget about the matter of sitting here just now: "I am in Liao Kingdom, but I really miss the days when I was with my brothers!"

"Isn't that my little brother? I really hope that Brother He will stay longer!" Wang Bang also said with emotion.

"Well, I really have this plan this time, what if you say I don't go back to Liao Kingdom?!"

Wang Pang suddenly froze there!It's not so good to impeach Libo and not return to the Liao Kingdom, that's simply great!If that happens, maybe there will be no future Jin Kingdom, there will be no Wanyan Agu War, and there will be no Jin soldiers invading the Central Plains.Xie Libo also stood still, he didn't know that Wang Pang would be thinking about decades later.He waved his hand in front of Wang Pang: "Hey, let me tell you, do you think I'm handsome again?"

"You, what you said is true? Are you not going back to Liao Kingdom?"

"Of course it's true. I want Wu Yashu to accept the culture of the Great Song Dynasty and let him be your student. Now Song and Liao get along so well, I believe it will be like this in a few decades! As long as the world is peaceful It doesn't matter where I am, then I will go to the world with you, brother!" Wanyan impeached Libo after saying that, and laughed heartily.His laughter caused people walking around the house to look in their direction.

"It would be great to have brother He help me!" Wang Bang couldn't hide his joy.

"Then I will be able to participate in the next meeting! Hahaha" Xie Libo said, excited like a child. "By the way, brother, tell me quickly, what did you discuss today?" He asked quickly.

Wang Pang also sat down on the porch and told Libo about going to Yongzhou. Libo said: "It seems that I came at the right time, brother is ready to show my strength! You should issue an order, let me go do what!"

Seeing that Libo was eager to try, there was really something Wang wanted him to do: "I want you to go to Korea!"

"Go to Korea?" Xie Libo was a little confused, Ming Ming wanted to go south to Yongzhou, how could he send himself to Korea?
