Cry for Song

Chapter 105 Staying the Plant and Waiting for the Rabbit

The story of Xixia's palace: To sum up, it is a word "chaos", a line inextricable, that is, all because of love affairs, Li Yuanhao's promiscuity led to the prince's death of his father; there was no hidden queen's promiscuity, which led to the male pet killing; Liang's out of the wall contributed to the mother-in-law's family to be washed by Li Liang Zuo; and now, between Li Liang Luoyao Some gaps only need to be picked gently, and then there is another mess.

"So, did Mr. Li say this beautiful man's trick because he was afraid that I would be in prison and didn't know it?" Wang asked.

Li Xili recovered from the bloody wind of the court. He said truthfully, "To be honest, to invite the prince is indeed to figure out the queen's admiration for the literati of the Song Dynasty, so I want to find a suitable candidate to take the opportunity to provoke Li Liangzuo's suspicion and abolish the Liang family. However, when talking with the prince for many days, he really found that the prince was a talent, so he wanted to learn from Wang Yun, and the conspiracy turned into a conspiracy. Even if it is a trick, it is also a positive trick for Diao Chan, and he can also deal with it and pull out.

Wang knows that Li Xili is telling the truth. The key is not what Li Xili thinks, but Li Xili's character, which is really weak. The trick is not his strength at all. He has empty ideas but his feelings are swaying. For the king, the purpose of his trip is to find stones. Since the prince is the incarnation of the white stone god, how can he see the prince without getting close to the queen?

Instead of letting Li Xili swing, it's better to take the initiative and let Li Xili cooperate with more space. Why do you have to listen to others and simply sell your personal feelings to Li Xili to do what you want to do? Thinking of this, Wang said, "Thank you for telling the truth today, but has Mr. Li ever thought that I am a native of the Song Dynasty? In case this matter is not only a mistake or leads to chaos, I think that Mr. Li's identity is not afraid of the curse of the Western Xia for thousands of years. "?"

"This..." Wang Bian did talk about Li Xili's mind, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Wang's side thought that Liang Luoyao not only advocated the culture of the Song Dynasty, not to mention that Liang Yi was buried around him. If he came, he would be safe. He could not send him to the door by himself. He saw that Li Xili was silent. If this person is still shaking, he is also in danger. It's better to choose an opportunity. Today, I can talk with Lord Li so far, which is a confidant. When I arrive at Xingqingfu, I will try my best to communicate with him first.

Hearing Wang's side said this, Li Xili rest assured that Wang's side would not betray himself. He was not sure what Wang's side thought, but he could not continue to ask questions. He thought to himself, "Mr. Wang, take care of yourself. Everything is up to fate."

Unconsciously, Li Xili's carriage came to Xingqing Mansion. Gu Huaiyuan Town, at the foot of Helan Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River, became Xingzhou after the establishment of the capital of Dangxiang Qiang. Xixia was born from here, and also radiated from here, gradually becoming the boundary of Dang Xiang Qiang.

Yuan Hao changed the name of Song Mingdao to Xiandao on the grounds of avoiding the name of his father Deming, which marked that he began to use his own name. Two months after the implementation of the baldness order, Yuan Hao changed the Xingzhou named by his father to Xingzhou Prefecture, designated it as the capital, and began to build a palace and a palace. In this way, a small town under Helan Mountain soon became the capital of Xixia and the political, cultural, economic and military center of the whole Xixia Kingdom during the Western Xia period.

Li Xili originally wanted to ask the king to come to his house, but the king felt disturbed, and he himself felt that it was inconvenient for him to move. Therefore, at the insistence of the king, Li Xili arranged for Wang and others to stay in the hall. The next day, the king asked the driver who came to deliver incense cakes to go back to the State of Song to his home to report safety.

In the next few days, Li Xili led Wang to visit the capital of Xixia, temples, and Fanhan College. Wang's side in the college is particularly sought after by students because he is the founder of Cloud Digest. Fortunately, Cai Jing came with Wang this time. Cai Jing's literary skills are good at writing and painting. Whenever there is communication, Wang Bong said indifferently, "Let my book boy write a few words."

How many descendants did not know the famous calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Midi and Cai Jing. It can be seen that Cai Jing's calligraphy and painting achievements. However, Cai Jing himself did not know, and the people at that time did not know that Cai Jing was already a recognized master. However, the calligraphy and painting of the children next to the king have been recognized in Fanhan College. For a moment, the king's visit to this place caused a sensation in the pro-Song faction of Xingqing Mansion.

There is an endless stream of people who come to visit the king every day. There are not only people, but also Han officials in the Western Xia court. In private, Wang Bian met some high-ranking people among Han officials through Li Xili. Here, Wang Bian paid the most attention to: Wu Hao, the deputy envoy of the Pastoral Department; Xue Yuanli, the official affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture; Zhang Jiang, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and Xu Min, the salt and iron envoy.

Wang's side stayed in Xixia for more than half a month, and he was busy with socializing every day. He was nothing more than talking about Yun's calligraphy and painting, Yunxuan's tea culture. Or during the banquet, let Cai Jing show his hand. This boy's calligraphy and painting are crazy. But at the same time, Cai Jing's foodie is not in vain. What Wang asked Cai Jing to show was not to sit on the table to eat, but to bring his own cooking utensils to show one or two hot stir-fried dishes that Wang gave Cai Jing when he was in Bianjing.

Now there are more people coming to see the king. Every day, Cai Kyoto complained straight. He took the list of people he saw from the management cabinet, hooked the name of the person he wanted to see the day after tomorrow from above, and muttered, "Sir, we have been here for so many days. How long will it take to see people like this every day?"

Wang Yi drank tea to relieve the wine and said with a smile, "If you don't want to see it, just don't check the day after tomorrow."

Cai Jing has helped Wang to arrange people to meet in the past few days. Every day, he selects a few copies from the posts that ascended the throne on the post counter and arranges them the next day. Then put it back on the cabinet. Basically, the people who come to see the king will see if they have themselves. He is a little careful, looking at the official position first, and then the department he belongs to. Wang knew that Cai Jing did secretarial work. Occasionally, Wang did a look and found that Cai Jing's secretarial work was still good.

Cai Jing was happy while choosing. After so many days, he could finally take a day off. Tomorrow was not arranged at all. The prince finally agreed to go out on the street. However, he suddenly saw a worship note and hurriedly said, "Son, I'm out. The name you said you wanted to wait came out. He said he would pick you up to his house. This, do you want to arrange tomorrow?"

Wang heard Cai Jing say this, put down the tea cup in his hand and walked closer. The post did say that Wang told Cai Jing to pay attention to it. It was the prime minister Liang Yi burying.

After seeing Xixia, the level of the characters seen by Wang is getting higher and higher. Although they are mainly Han people, there are occasionally one or two Xixia officials, such as Ye Xima, Renduo Baozhong, and those with the surname. It seems that whether it is the Yeli family or the Tibetan family, after two civil strife, they were greatly injured in the sphere of influence of the Western Xia court. However, with the name of the king and the legend in the officialdom of Xixia, Liang Yibu and Liang Luoyao could not sit still.

Liang Luoyao and Liang Yi buried. Originally, Li Xili would send the king to the king, but he didn't expect that the king came to Xixia. It was just a normal cultural exchange, but they did not come to see the power. However, some of these officials ran to see the king. Liang Luoyao became more and more curious. Liang Yibu became more and more annoyed.

If Wang's side comes to Xixia and sends it directly to them, it won't have any impact. At present, it only took less than a month for this outsider, so he has a little fame in Xixia. It's not easy for Liang Yi to do it. What's more, his sister has spoken. You go to see what kind of person is next to the king. Why don't you come and worship? See you.

Liang Yi asked his queen sister: "This person is so disrespectful, do you want it? ......"

The queen's sister stared, and Liang Yi buried her as long as she went to send a worship post to the king.

When Wang saw the invitation, he sneered and said to Cai Jing, "Tomorrow, as we said, I'll show you around here." This is for Liang Yi to bury the prime minister. If you don't see the third letter, it will not be arranged.

Cai Jing's eyes widened: "Sir, this is the prime minister of the State of Xia."

Haha, what is the prime minister afraid of? He is a loser. Wang thought so in his heart, not to mention that the prime minister had begun to send gifts, that is, he was under pressure. Why didn't he put more pressure on him?

Relax and have a good rest for a day. Before seeing the prime minister again, Wang should take a good look at Xixia.

The emperors of Western Xia were built with reference to the architectural model of the Song Dynasty, which was directly affected by the layout of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and Kaifeng City in the Northern Song Dynasty. The city was rectangular, with a circumference of more than 18 miles, and the moat was 10 feet wide. There were two gates in the north and south, one door in the east and west. The road was square, the streets were wide, and there were more than 20 neighborhoods such as Chongyi.

Cai Jing turned around the street to see novelty, but the building did not attract much interest to him. He suddenly saw so many Xixia people in strange clothes, secretly laughing at the special head shape of Xixia people all over the street. Fortunately, the Han people here also account for a certain proportion, and they are not so different in this environment.

The king did not notice this. This Xingqing Mansion has a certain-scale imperial city, and the royal palace gardens in the city occupies a large area. With the imperial city as the center, the surrounding official offices, Fanhan Academy, and all kinds of temples were established. Wang found that there are many religious places in Xingqing Prefecture. This is probably because the Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, and Li Liangzuo was also a Buddhist worshiper.

The imperial city goes to the outer city again. The workshops are born because of the city, and the restaurants are thriving along the street. The bungalows are built around the palace, and the general residents are densely distributed in dozens of neighborhoods, all of which are low earthen houses or earthen houses.

Wang is not very interested in these buildings; and Cai Jing, a Song Dynasty, is not very interested in exotic clothing. He wanders around the city, and the highlights that can arouse his interest are naturally not on clothing and architecture. There is a shop in Xixia on the street, which specializes in selling knives, swords and other weapons.

In the Song Dynasty, swords were controlled, and few people carried knives and swords on the street, and fewer people put swords in front of the blacksmith's shop. But here is different. There are all kinds of swords on the counter in front of the blacksmith's shop. When you walk near the shop, you can hear the sound of jingling iron. Obviously, behind the store, there is a hot iron stove.

Xixia people are brave and fierce, especially swords are not controlled. There are often people with swords and swords on the street. From this point of view, it is no wonder that Liang Yi was buried in Kaifeng with Songwen Sword with him. Wang Bian thought so and stopped in front of the blacksmith's shop. He looked at the swords on the counter and picked up a casual one to have a look.

When the shopkeeper saw that the two people next to the king were looking at the knife, he hurriedly greeted the king to look at the goods on the cabinet: "Son, you can see the goods at a glance. This knife is good steel." He pointed to the knife he had just picked up in Wang's hand and said.

Wang also saw that the knife was different. Just as he was about to ask the price, several Xixia people came around him, one of whom was bald, with a felt hat, hair on the temples, and two big earrings. He curled his mouth and looked at the knife next to the king and said, "How much silver is this? I want it!"

Wang saw this man with short eyebrows and small eyes, narrow nose bridge, eagle hook nose, and high cheekbones. With his sleeves, he leaned over and looked at the knife in his hand. He had no good feeling in his heart. He was about to put down the knife and turn around and leave. Suddenly, the shopkeeper said, "Oh, Mr. Spicy, I'm really sorry. The man has paid the money for this knife."

The man looked at the king, turned his head and said viciously to the shopkeeper, "Old man He, I warn you, don't think you don't sell my good knife. I can't do anything about you."

The shopkeeper surnamed He was in his fifties and said with a smile, "Where did you say? Now this knife is really sold to you."

After saying that, he waved to the king and said, "Since you have paid the money, take it away quickly."

Cai Jing looked at Wang's side, and Wang's side looked at the knife in his hand. He was puzzled. This knife was not given for nothing. This knife is a good knife, but he knows very little about weapons. Is there anything here?
