Chapter 32 The Central Plains is a Family

Zhang Cheng was whipped, and everyone present felt relieved. When the soldiers counted to ten, the sound of the whip stopped,

Wang asked Hu Ke, "Hu Tongban, what do you think of Zhang Cheng's treatment?"

Hu Ke said, "Your Majesty, there is an ancestral motto in this dynasty not to kill civil servants. Your whips are to teach him to scold the soldiers. I think this is fine. The rest of the matter will be submitted to the emperor, and then listen to the court."

Wang said to Zhang Cheng, "If the general judge hadn't pleaded for you, you would have accompanied Cao Tian on Huangquan Road, and you wouldn't have thanked Hu Tongjue."

Only then did Zhang Cheng understand that Cao Tian had died. He was full of heart. He knew that the king beat him because he went to the capital, but he was also helpless. Then he grinned and thanked the king for not killing, and then thanked Hu Ke for his pleaded for himself. In his ear, he heard the king's scolding: "Don't you get out. "."

Two soldiers escorted him out of the government office again, and then they untied him. Many people outside the government office saw that Zhang Cheng's black gauze hats also fell off, his face also bloomed, and the public uniform was also flawed. After the rope was untied, he ran to his house in a panic, and then listened to how the soldier guarding the city ordered him ten times. Returning Zhang Cheng's whip, passers-by clapped their hands and cheered,

"You're so angry now." Someone asked the guard,

"Of course, officials will not dare to bully us in the future. Don't worry, we don't dare to bully the common people casually. Otherwise, we will pay back ten times more in the government. Who dares to be like before." The soldiers walked to the gate with words and laughing. The punishment of Zhang Cheng by the king soon spread all over Zhenrong. The soldiers were very cautious when walking on the street and did not dare to provoke the people, and the people were no longer dodging as usual.

Seeing that Zhenrong had restored order, the king told Hu Ke and others to deal with the affairs of the government office. When he returned to the capital, he would tell the emperor about the situation and settle down, and the king returned to the camp outside the city.

Man Chang was looking forward to the king's side. Seeing that the king's side came back, he hurried to the big account and asked, "Your Majesty, when can we go back to Xixia?"

Wang was very clear that these people with Li Liangzuo's body must have wanted to go back and bury it as soon as possible. He comforted him, "General Man, don't worry. You don't know the situation in Xixia now. Even if you go back, if you are framed not only that the old general Manma can't be buried, I'm afraid you will be involved."

"Alas." Man Chang sighed and looked very sad. "My father and son are loyal to Xixia, and finally ended up with such an end. This is secondary. My lord can't return to his hometown so far. I think Xixia will die in the hands of Liang Luoyao's witch sooner or later."

Wang side advised: "General Man, don't be impatient. Now Xixia has asked Liao for help. It seems that it won't last long. I believe you can go back in a long time, but I don't think it's necessary for General Man to stay in Xixia. I can ensure that you can return to Xixia smoothly, but I can't guarantee that you will be safe in Xixia. If the general is willing, he can come back to me at any time.

"This..." Man Chang was very moved by Wang's words, but he still couldn't accept letting him go to Wang's side,

The king smiled and said, "I don't force the general. After all, if you follow me, it means giving up the high-ranking officials in Xixia. Everything starts again, or at most, it's just the bodyguards around me. I'm afraid I have no chance with the official career."

Many often got up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, if you let me defect to the Song Dynasty, I will definitely not do it, but if I am with the prince, as long as you don't dislike the prince, even if it is just a small bodyguard, I will be willing. The prince will wait for me to deal with Xixia's affairs."

The king has always wanted to stay with him, but he is just waiting for the right time. Now he is using people everywhere, and he wants to put Zhang Yiping people in an important position, so that there will be fewer confidant guards around him. Listening to Man Chang said this, he is simply too much for himself. Wang is very happy,

At this time, several Xixia people came from outside the camp. When the soldiers saw that they were looking for the king, they did not dare to neglect and report to the camp. Wang heard that there were four people surnamed Qian, Bai, Sun and Zhang from Xixia. They said that they were the prince's old subordinates. They knew that it was He Xingyuan's four apprentices in Xixia, Lao Qian Yixia; the second Baisha; the third Sun Mo; the old Four Tugui, they have been taking care of the salt farm and pharmaceutical factory next to the king in Xixia.

The four people came to the bed tent next to the king and saw the king sitting next to him, and his hands were still sitting in Manchang. Manchang was the general of Xixia. There were a few people in Xixia who did not know Manmanchang's father and son. Several people hesitated together. The king smiled and said, "Yixia, Baisha, you don't have to worry. General Man was wronged this time. Presumably, we won't stay in the Xixia Dynasty for a long time. In the future, we will be a family and come to salute General Man.

Wang's words were often very touching. He was busy and saluting. Seeing that the four people were dressed up in Xixia, he asked, "These people came from Xixia. I don't know what's going on in Xixia now."

Qian Yixia and others unloaded the large and small packages on their shoulders and hands, and sat down in order. The eldest Qian Yixia said, "Your Highness, when we received your message, we closed the salt farm and pharmaceutical factory in Xixia. Now the silver and soft that can be brought out have been brought out. We have calculated that the profits have been quite rich these years, and now It's not a big deal to close it. However, Xixia has suffered a lot this time. Our salt farm has been the largest salt farm in Xixia in the past few years. We not only supply the official salt of the Xixia court, but also received a lot of small salt farms. With our shutdown, the price of green salt has soared.

The second Baisha also said, "Yes, our pharmaceutical factory is closed. It happens that there is a shortage of medicine in the war. Along the way, we see wounded soldiers who fled back to Xixia and can't be cured. Xingqing Mansion has been in chaos. The people are protesting, and the army is waiting for emergency. There are still many people who are afraid that the Song army will attack Xixia and flee everywhere. That situation is not a mess. Tragic words can be described.

Everyone thought that Wang would be happy to listen to it. Unexpectedly, Wang Bing sighed gently: "The two countries have exchanged troops, and the creatures are in a loss. Although they will be divided for a long time, they will be divided for a long time. Why do this? This is also my fault. I am full of energy."

I often heard this, and there was a little doubt in my heart: "Your Majesty, I know that you have compassion. You either die or I live in the two countries. You have also seen that this is not the prince's fault. Don't sigh." Up to now, it is also very contradictory, and I don't know what position to stand,

Wang nodded and said lightly, "That's what I said, but after a thousand years, there is no Xixia. It's nothing more than the Central Plains family."

Man Chang's eyes widened and asked in surprise, "So, your lord, you all know that Xixia will die."

Wang thought that if there was a normal historical process, the Western Xia was only 50 years earlier than the death of the Song Dynasty, but at that time, it was said to the Song Dynasty that it was the Southern Song Dynasty, but how could this say to the people in front of them? Could it be told that there would be a big gold kingdom in the future, even Xixia took Liao, and Song Quan would go. Thinking of the king, he smiled helplessly: "The Central Plains family I'm talking about is nothing more than the Song Dynasty, Liao Xixia, and even any country. It is a small dynasty. The world is the world. After a thousand years, the world is the world's big world."

Man Chang was very excited to hear this. Together with Qian Yixia, Bai Sha and others, he got up and worshipped the king: "The prince is ambitious. We are willing to follow the prince around, and we will not hesitate."

The king raised his head and exhaled gently. What is this? It seems that these Xixia people have misunderstood that they have the heart to seize the world. Now they are now like Xixia is going to subjugation of the country. Anyway, it doesn't matter, but if this scene is seen by the Song people, I'm afraid they can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River. Fortunately, there is only self in the account at this time. Zhang Ping, the close bodyguard general, Zhe Kejun, and his son Tong Guan,

These people have ignored what is often said. Some of them are used to being respected by the king, and then they are the big eyes of the children's ghosts and ghosts. While they admire this godfather, they secretly think about when they can be so domineering.

"You are free of gifts. Do you want me to live a thousand years?" Wang said with a smile,

Manchang and others also smiled and sat down next to the king again and said, " Yixia, what are you going to do?"

Qian Yixia said, "We don't plan to do it. We just obey the prince's orders. The salt farm of the pharmaceutical factory is your investment. We have not made less money over the years, and we are down-to-earth with the prince."

The king ordered, "Well, you go back to Xixia first and find a way to pick up General Man and Wu Su's family." He turned his head and said to Manchang, "General Man, I think it's better to let these people bring back the bones of General Man Chang first. How do you think I arrange it like this?"

Man Chang also sighed. He was very clear that it must be very dangerous for him to go back. "It's all up to the prince's arrangement."

Seeing that he did not object, Wang said to several people, "You take the remains of General Manchang and Wu Su back to Xixia for burial."

"What about Li Liangzuo's bones?" Bai Sha asked,

Wang said confidently, "Don't worry, if the situation in Xixia is really like what you said, I believe that Liang Luoyao will follow my conditions and personally welcome his husband's bones back to Xixia in a few days."

"This witch, I will definitely not let her go." He often gritted his teeth and said hatefully,

Wang also thinks so in his heart. As long as Liang Luoyao dares to come, he must make Liang Luoyao look good. Even if Liang Luoyao's corpse is broken, it is difficult to understand Wang's hatred.

Qian Yixia and others were ordered to do it. A few days after they left, Xiao Ying came back from Xixia. Although Xiao Ying brought back good news, Wang saw that Xiao Ying looked a little worried. Everyone greeted Xiao Ying in the big tent. Xiao Ying told everyone that Liang Luoyao had agreed to Wang's conditions, which was from Xingqing Mansion. When they came, everyone was both surprised and happy to hear it. They were surprised that the king was under such harsh conditions that Xixia also agreed. What was happy was that everyone knew that the money and food were almost used this time, and now they could return to the capital smoothly.

After the discussion, Wang set up a banquet in his account to treat Xiao Ying alone. After drinking three patrols, the king asked, "King Xiao, look worried. Is there something behind Xixia's acceptance conditions that you didn't tell me?
