Chapter 109 First meeting of Xia Yizong

The king came to Xixia as an envoy. According to common sense, he should go to see the emperor and queen first, but the king went against the law and has not stepped into the palace so far. During this period, Wang Bian was not idle. He had brought his influence to Xixia. The whole Xingqing Mansion, both officials and merchants, literati and Moke, knew that there was a messenger from the State of Song called Wang. Even Cai Jing was arrogant, so he would not bury Liang Yi in his eyes.

Wang's side did this with Wang's own idea: the beautiful history in the Xixia Palace is so chaotic, especially Li Xili has clearly stated the idea of a beautiful man's plan. Although it has not been implemented, Wang's side does not want to go through this muddy water easily. Moreover, he also has to beware of Liang Yi's burial. He has a good idea. Now he is in the open place, and the other party is more careful in the dark.

The king had an idea. On the surface, this trip to Xixia was arranged by Li Xili. In this way, any problem could be solved by Li Xili, but it would not make it difficult for Li Xili. For example, Li Xili wanted the king to see the queen. The king said that the queen was not summoned, and the emperor was not in the palace. It was not appropriate to see her rashly.

Liang Luoyao did not summon Wang because Liang Luoyao had always been arrogant. Although she admires the culture of Sinology, she is unwilling to condescend to summon a merchant. She is waiting for the king to come to see her and kill the king's spirit, but she has been waiting until now. Not only that, but the recent twists and turns have also given her a headache. The mountain of green salt in the market is completely impossible to sell. Not only that, but even the party and horse can't be sold.

The reason is that the State of Song has strengthened the vigilance of the border and completely banned smuggling. In the past year, officials at the border of the State of the Song Dynasty have been mobilized, and new officials have been on fire. Not only have they closed the channels of commerce, but also the private transportation has been strictly guarded. The economic source that Xixia relies on is horse and the other is salt. Salt can be piled up, but the horse consumes a lot of ranch resources, and the national livelihood is threatened. Now she begins to turn her attention to the side of the king. Maybe through the side of the king, she can open the way to trade with the Song Dynasty again.

But Liang Luoyao also has a difficult problem, that is, the emperor Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo is aggressive and always believes that everything should be solved by force. There are often differences between the two, which is also one of the reasons why Li Liangzuo is estranged from Liang Luoyao.

Liang Luoyao is uncertain about state affairs; Li Liangzuo is about to return to Xingqing Mansion; Li Xili is worried about the future; Liang Yi buried and Ji Laqing want to repair the king's side. Thousands of threads are twisted together, and there is only one person quietly observing the changes here, that is, the side of the king. He analyzed the national strength of Xixia, visited the commercial market to understand prices, and observed cultural and folk customs.

After seeing Man Mie, Wang made a bold decision. He wanted to meet Li Liangzuo first. What kind of role is this person who is almost the same age as the emperor?

Wang came out of Manma Mansion and went straight to He Xingyuan's blacksmith's shop. He asked He Xingyuan to make a carbon pot overnight according to his drawings. The shape is the hot pot of our modern people, the hot pot of boiled meat. Let He Xingyuan be sent to Guanyi early in the morning.

When He Xingyuan sent the carbon pot to Guanyi, Manba's carriages and horses also arrived at Guanyi. Wang Bian and Manba rode a high-headed horse, followed by Manba's personal soldiers. They left Xingqing Mansion and headed for Helan Mountain.

Wang Bian didn't suddenly want to bring a pot. Manba told Wang Bian that the young emperor did not like the constraints of the palace. After all, he was still young, and he had to make new ideas about eating, drinking and playing, so as to arouse his interest. Since Wang is proficient in delicious food, it is better to take advantage of Li Liangzuo's presence outside the city and wait for Tianming to enter the city to present delicious food to win Li Liangzuo's favor.

The emperor did not enter the city, but at any time when he came. He should pay attention to the auspicious day. Therefore, even if you arrive outside the city early, you must be stationed for a while, not to mention picking up the emperor into the city, Xingqing Mansion also needs loess to cushion the road, clean water to splash the street, the people kneel down to welcome, and there is a ceremony.

At this time, Liang Yi was still in the dream of planning to frame the king. After he woke up, he decided to go to the hall to invite the king in person. At least he is the prime minister of the country. Does the king dare to refuse him? He thought very well. He came to the king in casual clothes and quietly brought the king into the palace without revealing his identity. When he leads the king to the "Guanghan Gate", as long as the king enters, it will break into the forbidden place privately, and then soldiers will come out to catch the king.

He was happy thinking about his plan. Liang Yi buried as the prime minister and the brother of Empress Liang Luoyao. Naturally, he could go in and out of the palace at will. The identity of the Lei is the Ma Budu command of the Yiwei Department. The Yiwei Department is mainly responsible for the control, training, vassal guards, garrison and bodyguards of the vassal guards.

Liang Yibu and Ji Laqing joined forces, and they were afraid that they would not be able to serve a small king. Although he had to put down his figure, in order to repair the king's side, he rushed to Guanyi.

When Liang Yi was buried, Cai Jing was packing his luggage. There was an explanation before Wang left in the morning. In a few days, they could return to Bianjing. Cai Jing was happy while packing up, and he was finally about to leave this damn place. There are too few places to play here, and there are no friends who can play with Cai Jing. I either wander around with the prince every day, or stay in the guest room.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Cai Jing put down the work in his hand. When he opened the door, he was a very face-to-faced man, 20 or thirty years old, thin and tall Han man. Cai Jing is strange. Occasionally, some Han scholars come to Wang, and most of them are left with names by the shopkeeper. Why did they come up by themselves today?

Liang Yi buried his mouth and asked, "This child, your prince can go to the restaurant." Cai Jing politely arched his hand and said, "The prince is not here. He went out early in the morning. This adult can leave a name post. I'll wait for the prince to come back and give it to him."

What surprised Cai Jing, the people who came didn't seem to hear that the prince was not there. Instead, they opened the door and walked into the room, saying, "Is Mr. Wang here?" He broke straight in. He came in and looked around and saw that Cai Jing was not hiding it from him, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is not in trouble. I'll just wait for him here." With that, he sat down on the stool by the table.

Looking at this, I feel like I won't leave without seeing Wang. Cai Jing is helpless. How can there be such a person? But I don't know the origin of the other party, and it's not easy to coax the outside, so I continued to do the work at hand. Liang Yi sat for a while and felt bored. He talked to Cai Jing when he had nothing to say. Cai Jing just replied politely and didn't know anything else. Finally, Liang Yi couldn't sit still: "Where the hell has your son gone?"

Cai Jing still said, "I don't know, why don't you leave a post?"

Originally, he came to the king in person, but Liang Yi was angry enough to talk to a book boy. He finally couldn't help it and said, "Little book boy, do you know who I am? I'm Liang Yi, the prime minister of the country. Hurry up and tell me where your son is, otherwise it will ruin your son's good deeds. You can't eat it.

It's okay if he doesn't mention that he is the prime minister of the country. As soon as he says that he is Liang Yibu, Cai Jing curled his lips and glanced up and down. He thought that no wonder the prince didn't want to see him. As a prime minister, he didn't look like a country. They all came to invite the prince in person. Why are they so arrogant? Thinking about it, he said, "I really don't know where the prince is. I'm a book boy, and he won't tell me where he is going."

When Liang Yi buried his words with Cai Jingduo, he regretted why he didn't ask more questions when he went upstairs. He didn't know until he went downstairs to inquire. Wang Bian followed Manma out of the city. Liang Yi stamped his feet. The boy next to the king was really lucky.

At this time, Man Mi and the team that greeted Wang's driving had gone more than ten miles. Man Mi's estimate was correct. At noon, they finally saw a team of people coming from the opposite side. This pair of people is the march of Xia Yizong and Li Liangzuo.

At the front of the march were two flag bearers. Behind the flag bearers was a teenager, dressed in white long-sleeved clothes, wearing black crowns, wearing bows and arrows, and riding a tall horse. Behind this teenager were more than a hundred cavalry. Behind him were hundreds of bodyguards and pedestrians, Zhang raised cyan and three covers. Behind the march was the delivery of supplies. A awning horse convoy. Such a group of people gathered Li Liangzuo, showing off their power.

Manmei and others hurriedly turned over and got off the horse. He ordered the king and his entourage to wait in place and meet him. Li Liangzuo was very happy to see that it was a long time to welcome him. Manma is a veteran and meritorious official of the State of Xia. In those years, he made a great contribution to annihilate the plan of not hiding and framed Li Liangzuo.

Two teams of soldiers and one place, Manma and Li Liangzuo walked side by side. The king and Manme's entourage followed Li Liangzuo's march and walked a few miles in the direction of Xingqingfu, and the brigade was stationed.

The Western Xia Emperor was different from the Han people. They were the first tribal leaders and were used to running around and fighting. Even if the emperor's march, they would be stationed wherever they went.

After a while, a tent was set up on the hill. The tent was made of cowhide and coated with tung oil, which not only protected against rain and snow, but also kept warm. One of these tents is particularly conspicuous, much larger than ordinary tents. Wang Bian knew that Li Liangzuo was there. Wang Bian first saw the so-called camp in the Song Dynasty. Thinking about the team of only a few hundred soldiers, what a spectacular scene it would be if the two armies really fought and formed a joint camp.

He was sighing. Seeing Manma coming to him, he said, "Sir, the emperor is resting. I'll see you later. You can prepare for it."

The king bowed his hand to thank the old general Man and said with a smile, "It's annoying to talk to the old general." Wang was very surprised to see Li Liangzuo just now. In his impression, he said that Li Liangzuo was fierce and cunning, and he had rarely heard of the description of Li Liangzuo outside.

Looking back on Xixia's meeting these people: Li Xili's feeling to the king was not like an ordinary man, but polite. Manba is quite brave. Although he is a little older, he is also bold and wild. Ji Laqing is like a steamed bun that hasn't been opened for a long time. He is unlikable and brave and resourceful. On the contrary, Xia Yizong and Li Liangzuo surprised Wang. After all, the impression of Wang was that he was brave and fierce. He didn't expect that he was indeed a teenager who was not wearing a yellow robe and white.
