Cry for Song

Chapter 138 Emperor Xixia

In the afternoon, two people came out of the imperial city of Xixia. The guard recognized the man in front of him, the commander-in-chief of Feilongyuan in casual clothes. They waved their hands to Manchang to show that there was no need to do so, so they took a man in a sunshade hat and a white gown behind them out of the imperial city. The bodyguard felt strange. It's strange, but I dare not ask more,

As soon as he came out of the imperial city, he often stopped to let the man wearing the bamboo hat go first. The man wearing the bamboo hat raised his head. Under the cover of the bamboo hat was a face that was not completely out of childishness. He looked at Man Chang with big eyes and asked, "General Manchang, what are you nervous about?"

He saw it all. Man Chang said, "Your Majesty, this coup has just subsided. I'm worried about your safety."

Li Liangzuo, the little emperor who sneaked out of the palace with Manchang, smiled and said, "In this case, don't call yourself the emperor. Brother Man, you see, your nervous knife handle is going to be broken."

He often looked down, didn't he? He had been firmly holding the handle of the knife around his waist, looking like he was going to draw a knife at any time. The palm of his hand was already sweaty. He also asked with a smile, "The emperor called me to visit. Where are we going?"

Li Liangzuo said unhappily, "Why do you call me the emperor again? My small character is Ning Ling, um~" After thinking about it, he continued: "Ning Ling means joy in the Han language. Just call me happy. Let's walk on the street, and then you take me to the king."

Man Chang smiled bitterly in his heart. When will the emperor grow up? Li Liangzuo seemed to be relaxed, but in fact he forced a smile. Although he was young, he knew in his heart that if he did not cheer up, no one could save him. On this casual trip, he went to see the king, and on the other hand, he wanted to see whether he was a minister in the country he ruled. As we usually say to ourselves,

The two of them said that they crossed the royal street and came to the street of Xingqingfu. Li Liangzuo pressed the bamboo hat. Even if he did not suppress the bamboo hat, who would have thought that this teenager in white was the emperor of Xixia today,

Pedestrians on the street come and go, as if people have forgotten. Just yesterday, Xingqing Mansion was facing a disaster, but people heard the morning bell more clearly and knew that everything had returned to normal. Things on the street could be seen everywhere. The expressions of pedestrians were also dull. Except for pharmacies entering the street. Outside the people who went out, the front of other business stores was extremely deserted. Some of the shopkeepers were cleaning up the items, and some were simply napting,

This scene is so boring in Li Liangzuo's eyes. He hopes that everyone has a smile on his face. There are several people talking about something not far away. Li Liangzuo stepped forward. This is a divination stall. There are several people around the stall, all asking questions or asking people.

Li Liangzuo listened with his ears up. An old man asked the stall owner of the stall, "It's my turn, it's my turn. Help me calculate whether my third son can come back." As he spoke, he anxiously poked the ground with a simple wooden crutches in his hand,

The stall owner looked up at him and asked slowly, "Where has your son gone?"

The old man pointed to several people beside him and said, "Like them, it's not a conscription to fight."

The stall owner was forty or fifty years old. He looked black and said something in his mouth. Then he sprinkled the sheep bones engraved with the party's article on the table. He looked at the old man and said with apologizingly, "You are so bad luck. It seems that you don't have news in a few days."

When the old man heard the words, he squatted down to cover his face and cried, and the people around the table were all motionless.

The stall owner sighed. Li Liangzuo was also very uncomfortable when he looked at the scene. He stretched out his hand to Man Chang and said, "Take it here". Man Chang knew what he wanted, so he took out some broken silver from his arms. Li Liangzuo looked at it. He frowned and stared at Man Chang. Man Chang had no choice but to take out another ingot. He didn't have much on his body. Although Li Liangzuo was still I think this is too little, but I have no choice but to go over and hand over the money to the old man and say, "Go home and play some. I don't know if it's enough."

The onlookers were immediately stunned by Li Liangzuo's behavior. They didn't know where such a generous teenager came from. The old man wiped his tears, stopped sobbing and sighing: "It's not easy to live in Xixia. Thank you, my four sons. Now only the youngest son has a disability in his legs. It seems that You can still survive."

Li Liangzuo was even more sad about the old man's words. He sighed and said, "It's all the emperor's fault. There's nothing to fight."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it. The old man hurriedly pulled Li Liangzuo around and said, "Son, keep your voice down, let the officers and soldiers turn around when they hear it." Everyone also said, "Yes, don't let people hear it." It seems that they didn't hear it,

Li Liangzuo thought to himself, I said that I blamed myself for what I was afraid of. Seeing that the people were so scared, I couldn't help saying, "Is the emperor so terrible?"

A 40- or 50-year-old woman hurriedly said, "I don't know if the emperor is terrible, but the officers and soldiers are fierce. Alas, I really can't say..." She said she wanted to speak, but stopped,

The divination stall owner is busy with everyone now: "Thank you, everyone. If you want to talk about it, don't talk about it in front of my stall. I'm a living for eating. Thank you. Thank you." As he spoke, he cleaned up the stall and wanted to avoid it.

The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed, "After all, the emperor is young. They are all those damn ministers who deceive the superiors and the subordinates."

His words immediately resonated. Some people said, "No, just say that the hot father and son, but damn it. The old hateful and the little ones are even more hateful. They bully the market and do all kinds of evil."

People whispered to the line: "It's good to die, it's time to kill him all over the door~"

Li Liangzuo listened to people's comments and withdrew from these three or five people. After listening to these words, he not only wanted to find the king's side quickly, but also remembered one thing. He whispered, "Why is it such a big thing as La Lei? Today, no one in the court impeached and asked for punishment." After asking, he often looked embarrassed, and he also understood a little in his heart,

Ji La Lei's daughter married the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is also the queen's own brother. Who dares to go through this muddy water in this winding relationship? He will deal with this matter well when he goes back to the palace. He greeted the way to the king. Li Liangzuo and Man Chang came to the mansion with only Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping did not know Li Liangzuo, but Zhang Ping knew that Man Chang's big Ming, I heard that General Manchang came to the king, so he said, "Lord Wang goes to Chengtian Temple every day to pray for blessings. He hasn't come back today. Please go and invite Lord Wang back later."

Li Liangzuo didn't want to wait. He knew that Chengtian Temple was not far from the Xingqingfu gate, so he asked Zhang Ping to lead the way. He often worried that it would not be more dangerous to leave the Xingqingfu gate, but when he saw that Li Liangzuo was very determined to go, he had to hold a knife in his hand and follow him closely.

Three people came to the Zen Temple of Chengtian Temple. The Zen Temple was quiet. The pagoda of Chengtian Temple stood in front of him. Zhang Ping pointed to the tower and said, "The prince is on top."

Just as he was about to take a step, Li Liangzuo suddenly said, "You two are waiting here. I'll go up by myself."

This made Man Chang very embarrassed. He frowned and asked Li Liangzuo implicitly, "This little brother, why don't you let this adult invite Wang Shilang?"

Zhang Ping listened and wondered why he was so respectful to a young man. He looked at Li Liangzuo doubtfully, but saw Li Liangzuo insist, "This is my business. I'll solve it myself." After saying that, he climbed the tower alone. When he climbed to the tower, he saw a song next to the king holding a book, shaking a folding fan in one hand, and had fun in this quiet and cool place.

The king listened to the footsteps and someone went up to the tower. He looked up and saw that a person had arrived close. When someone came to take off the bamboo hat, it turned out to be Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Western Xia. This was somewhat unexpected to the king. He put down the book in his hand and saluted, "It's good to send someone to enter the palace now. Why come in person."

Li Liangzuo smiled bitterly. When I called you into the palace, you didn't say anything. Didn't you force me to come here? He held the hand of the king's saluting and said, "I'm here like this, it's not the emperor. You Han people have something. You worship, right? My brother is worshipped by my younger brother."

Speaking of Li Liangzuo, he actually bowed and saluted, which shocked Wang. How could Li Liangzuo think of it? If the State of Song knew that, not to mention his side of the king, he didn't want the head of Wang Anshi's family,

He hurriedly stopped Li Liangzuo and said, "Oh, you're giving me a long life."

Li Liangzuo laughed and pointed to Qingtian outside the tower and said, "You and I worship. God knows that you know and I know. I will never let my brother do something difficult."

The king still waved his hand and said, "Look at you and me, one is the lord of Xixia, and the other is the minister of the State of Song. You are the lord of your country and I am my lord. It is inevitable that it will be for each other's interests in the future, and it will hurt the harmony at that time."

Although Wang thought it was a good thing, he couldn't stand it.

Seeing the king's refusal, Li Liangzuo frowned and stared at him and said, "Isn't my Western Xia Emperor worthy to be your brother? If you don't agree, I will tell the world. If you force the seal, you have to agree, and you have to agree, and if you don't agree."

This is a big deal. Wang just wants to solve the matter of Xixia's business smoothly, but he didn't expect to make it big.

"Okay, okay, you can say that the worship of you and me is only known by heaven and earth. Do you understand that you have no jokes?" Wang is also a little anxious,

Li Liangzuo tilted his head and looked at the king. Not to mention that the king really made him admire him, not to mention that he picked up this little life thanks to the king. He said loudly, "I understand this. I know more that I worship you for my country. You are my brother. You have to teach me how to govern the country, and you have to tell me how to deal with it. Your negotiation makes Xixia more advantageous for me.

Wang also heard this, and his head shook like a rattle: "This doesn't work. I'm from the State of Song. The condition is that I gave it. I can't deny myself by myself. If you let me stand in your position, you can tell the world. I'll jump down from this tower." After saying that, he walked towards the tower and said to himself, boy, you dare to force me to death when you get out of the palace,

Li Liangzuo really pulled the king and said, "Good brother, I'm convinced. You just need to teach me how to govern the country. As for the matter of discussion, we stand on our own and discuss it well."
