XIII. Xixia
24. King-sling
Seven years of the lunar calendar, February.
The ceremony in western summer is extended for ten years, and in winter.
A major event happened in Xingqing Mansion that shook the whole Western Xia. As usual, Yuan Hao, the lord of the Western Xia, went out of the city to the Jietan Temple to meet with the empress who had become a nun. As a result, he was assassinated by an unknown man in black in the temple. The Mo Zang was slightly injured. Yuan Hao was seriously injured and did not die.
The past is unbearable to look back. This Tibetan is the wife of Ye Li, the king of Tiandu, who was killed by Yuan Hao by mistake. She looked charming and was very pitied.
Originally, Empress Yeli was very sympathetic to this who did not have the Tibetan family, because Ye Liyuqi, the king of the original Tiandu, was her brother, and the Tibetan family was naturally upgraded to her sister. Later, Yuan Hao fell into the anti-internal plan of the old seed in Huanzhou and accidentally killed Ye Li and begging. For a moment of excitement, he wanted to cut the grass and eradicate it. He wanted to kill the whole family of Ye Li and begging.
Fortunately, the pursuers found that the Tibetan family was a peerless beauty in Sanxiang's family, and told Yuan Hao that Yuan Hao was moved with compassion, intending not to blame the past, and accepted the Tibetan family as his concubine.
Not only that, Yuan Hao often has no private meeting with the Tibetan family in the palace and has an affair with it. Dozens of times before and after, Queen Yeli endured again and again. Later, she couldn't stand it, so she planned to use the ancestral family law to kill the Tibetan family. Unfortunately, she did not succeed, but was hated by the Tibetan family.
The final result led to the fact that the Tibetan family encouraged Yuan Hao to give the ceremony in the Western Summer for eight years, abolishing the Empress Yeli and being demoted to a commoner. At this time, Empress Yeli's brother Ning Ling has been appointed as the prince of Xixia and is still in the palace.
In the second year, the Tibetan family gave birth to a son, named Langzuo, and Yuan Hao was very happy to make the Tibetan family the queen.
Since then, Yuan Hao has spoiled the Tibetan family even more.
In March of that year, Yuan Hao was promoted to the position of the brother of the Tibetan family as the prime minister.
There is no hidden mackerel. He is forty-six years old. He is very majestic. The top of his head is shaved brightly, leaving only a pinch of hair behind his head. It can't be said how unrestrained it is. In fact, it should be said that the barbaric taste is very strong.
It is not hidden, and it is also the leader of the Xixia Wang clan. He has long coveted the position of prime minister, but there is no time. Now, my sister has been appointed as the queen, and she is lucky enough to enter the house and become the prime minister.
Power is naturally not the same.
When his sister gave birth to Liang Zuo, he was more convinced that Xixia would be controlled by himself. Therefore, he planned to completely eradicate the Yeli queen family and abolish Ning Lingge, who still occupies the position of prince, and it would be better to put him to death.
After several months of planning, Puong married his second daughter, who had a good appearance, to the prince Ning Ling. After that, Yuan Hao happened to meet the cloud in the harem. The cloud that was not under the queen of Muzang captured Yuan Hao's heart with only a charming eye.
Since then, Yuan Hao has been thinking about Na Yun day and night, so that he doesn't think about tea and rice. Later, he didn't hide it and offered advice from the side and said, "It's better to connect the cloud to the palace and be promoted to a concubine. As for the old minister on the side of the prince, he also has an unmarried daughter who can be promised to the prince. The young prince is still young and should be able to understand. What a painstaking painstaking efforts!"
I don't know what Yuan Hao thought at that time. He immediately agreed to the suggestion that he did not hide it. In September of the same year, he took the wife of Prince Ning Lingge as the 'new queen'.
This is good. There are two beautiful women who are not from the Tibetan family in the Xixia Palace, and they are in power.
The rest were completely put into the cold palace. Even if he did not enter the cold palace, Yuan Hao was not in the mood to patronize their courtyard.
Besides, Prince Ning Ling was originally very filial. Unexpectedly, Yuan Hao cruelly abandoned his mother and went into the cold palace. More than that, he took away his wife after only two years.
This pain, or shame, as the prince of Xixia, he is simply unbearable.
Under the manipulation of Pang secretly, Brother Ning Ling's hatred for Yuan Hao increased day by day, and the feelings of father and son in the past were not at all. Later, he heard that Yuan Hao had the intention of not holding the Tibetan family's child to be the prince, and he also wanted to move all the Yeli family to the depths of the wilderness desert to guard the frontier.
Tens of millions of emotions surged into his mind, which finally prompted Brother Ning Ling to have the idea of sling him.
Brother Ning Ling always reminded himself that Yuan Hao was completely faint and completely became a faint king. I had to kill him. This knife is not only for Xixia, but also for my mother. I want to kill him. He is not my father, but a person who is not as good as a beast.
Brother Ning Ling made up his mind and formulated two assassination plans.
The first set is that on the first night of the first month of the eleventh year of the heavenly ceremonial law, taking advantage of the New Year's Eve banquet, Yuan Hao was drunk and went into the palace to kill him, and then quickly ascended to the throne, using the power of the ministers of the court to eradicate the Tibetan clan in one fell swoop.
The second set is to kill Yuanhao one year in advance when he went out of the city to the Jietan Temple and fooled around with the Tibetan clan.
Later, the situation changed. Brother Ning Ling decided to act in advance. Two days ago, he secretly left the palace and sneaked into the Jietan Temple with his dead Yeli people, Lang Lie, Tuoba and Lei Bo.
Although Ning Ling's actions were mysterious, they were all under the control of No Hidden Pang. On that day, after Yuan Hao entered the Jietan Temple, No Hidden Pang deliberately transferred the bodyguard guarding the temple for a moment, giving Ning Ling a good opportunity to assassinate Yuan Hao.
After the incident, the guards quickly rushed into the temple.
However, the assassin had left, and the ground was covered with blood. They searched the whole temple and found a jade unicorn worn by the prince of the East Palace under the corner of the wall.
In this way, the truth was revealed. The prime minister led troops to surround the palace of the prince Ning Lingge that night and forcibly broke into the door. However, Ning Lingge had already fled and was not in the hall.
The next day, the prime minister did not hide Pang and read out the story of Ning Ling's killing of his father and mother in front of all officials in the palace hall, claiming that Ning Ling's brother was extremely guilty and had been abolished by the state owner, and appointed Langzuo as the crown prince.
The officials, led by Nuo Yi Shangdu, the important minister of the Privy Council, were suspicious of the edict read by the edict that was not hidden, and retorted, "The Prime Minister, did you say the words in this edict?"
He pointed to Nuo Yi Shangdu's nose and asked, "Do you dare to doubt the words of the pawn? If the pawn learns that you dare to speak like this, do you know the consequences?"
Nuo Yi Shang is not stupid. He knows that Yuan Hao is spoiling the Empress of the Tibetan family. He is the best at stirring up trouble. I'd better take a step back. Therefore, Nuo Yi Shang smiled and laughed and laughed at himself, "I don't dare. It's just that the ministers ask each other, and I have to ask more questions. Please forgive me!"
Subsequently, Pang Dai Yuanhao issued a decree that the tribes in Xixia states wanted Brother Ning Ling. If they resisted, they would be executed.
Half a month later, Yuan Hao had a nightmare. In his dream, Brother Ning raised a knife and cut him at him. Queen Yeli also strangled his neck. Yuan Hao woke up and ordered the servant to kill Queen Yeli as soon as possible.
In the early morning of the same day, the twenty-nine-year-old Empress Yeli was given poisoned wine and died in the cold palace.
Three quarters later, Yuan Hao laughed in the dragon bed. Then the wound broke and died. He was 46 years old. The temple was named Jingzong, and his nickname was Emperor Wu Lie, and he was buried in Tailing.
Looking back, after the deposed Prince Ning Lingge of Xixia attempted to assassinate Yuan Hao, he fled from Xingqing Mansion, changed into an ordinary herdsman's clothes that had been prepared for a long time, and ran away with Lang Lie, Tuoba and Leibo, a confidant of the dead Yeli people.
He didn't close his eyes for seven days and seven nights. He dodged several waves of chasers and hid in the desert for a long time before he escaped and came to the border gate.
In front of you is the Qingyuan Military City, and after that, it is the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Brother Ning Ling looked back at Lang Lie, Tuoba and Lei Bo, who leaned against the sand pile to shelter from the wind, and asked, "Qingyuan Military City is guarded by Hanhai Eleven."
Lang Lie quickly stood up and replied, "The eldest prince is indeed guarded by Hanhai!"
Brother Ning Ling summoned Lang Lie to his side, pointed to the Qingyuan Military City in the distance and said, "The area around the pass is as flat as a stronghold. Will we be found if we walk directly?"
"The eldest prince will definitely be found"
"Oh," Brother Ning Ling sighed, patted Lang Lie on the shoulder and said, "Don't call me the eldest prince. It must be abolished now. Let's call me Brother Ning Ling."
"This" Lang Lie hesitated and looked back at the two brothers leaning against the sand. They nodded to Lang Lie.
"Well, Brother Ning Ling, Qingyuan Military City is in the upper reaches of the White Horse River. In order to prevent the sneak attack of the Song army, the state lord has long ordered people to cut down the forest of more than ten miles around to prevent the hiding of thieves. Therefore, our business is very dangerous."
"What if it sneaks over at night?" Brother Ning Ling asked.
"I'm afraid it's also difficult?"
"What? Is it difficult to be so dark at night? When I was in the palace, no one knew that I touched the harem in the dark."
"Hey, Brother Ning Ling, this is the border gate, not the palace. The Qingyuan military city is very strictly guarded. There are many cavalry out of the city to patrol at night, and we will be found if we are not careful."
"Oh," Brother Ning Ling sat on the ground, and then lay down like a deflated ball. He looked at the gray sky and shouted, "Oh, my God, is this God going to kill me?"
After a while, Lang Lie, Tuoba and Lei Bo came together and thought for a long time to figure out a way to secretly cross the border.
