Chapter 11 New Long March

Dali said that Xixia was just a small country out of reach. The words of Dali's messengers who united with Xixia to fight against Jiaoluo made Liang Luoyao disdain at all. This disdain is not only willing to protect Xixia's own country, but also stems from her contempt for Dali, and then listened to the narration of Gao Yu by her brother Liang Yi. Liang Luoyao suddenly became interested. She wanted to see this Dali messenger who was very similar to Wang. What ability did he dare to go to Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty to spy on the military situation to please Xixia?

In those years, in order to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, Xixia owed a large amount of foreign debt to the Liao Dynasty. It was Yelu Yixin who was responsible for arranging this matter. At that time, the reason why Yelu Yixin wanted to promote this matter was to cultivate Xixia into his own reserve force, and he could raise troops to help him at any time. The second was to arrange a figure who could never be completed. , trap Xiao Ying in Xixia, so that he can get Xiao Ying's rights; the third is naturally dry wood to meet the fire, one is a beautiful man and the other is a beautiful woman, the other is fighting around, and the other is alone in the air boudoir,

It's a pity that the people next to the pillow have different dreams in the same bed. Liang Luoyao is not willing to be pressed by Yelu Yixin forever, whether she is ** or in power. While she caters to it, she takes the opportunity to default on the debt to accumulate strength,

Yelü Yixin will naturally not be idle. He conspired with Yelu Hongji's concubine Shan Deng to use a ten-spense injustice case to make the emperor order the execution of Empress Xiao Guanyin, and gave Bai Ling a naked body wrapped in reed. Shan Deng finally got what he wanted, that is, revenge and succeeded in power. Soon after, Yelu Yixin once again successfully framed the crown prince Yelu Jun's rebellion and killed the prince. In the prison, in the fifth year of Dakang (1079), Yelu Yixin tried to eradicate the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi (son of Yelu Jun), thus cutting off the grass and root, but this plan was detected by Yelu Hongji, the Liao Daozong, and Yelu Yixin was transferred out of the capital and removed the king,

This matter made Liang Luoyao more relaxed. Now, except for Xiao Ying, who comes to urge the bill regularly every month, who makes her feel upset, there is no one who can blackmail her. Fortunately, for more than ten years, Xiao Ying is also old and people are open-minded. Every time she comes to the palace, she routinely read debts and interest, urging her. The next emperor and the empress dowager Liang walked around in Xixia for the rest of the time, or lived in the house of the so-called Liao Dynasty envoy's office outside Xingqing Prefecture.

Sha Shiyan easily and smoothly brought Gao Yu and Liang Yilu to the territory of Xixia. Liang Yilu was already used to it. Gao Yu really took them in and out of the no man's land with a smile for Sha Shiyan and the border soldiers. He thought that he was also walking everywhere in those years, but with the customs clearance ultimatum on his body, there was nothing like this. Not long after entering Xixia, he met the bodyguard of the royal palace who got the news to pick up Liang Yifu. Sha Shiyan took the horse and said, "Master Liang, Mr. Gao, I'll send you here. We'll see you later."

"Brother Sha, wait, don't forget what I entrusted to you." Liang Yiqi told Sha Shiyan,

"I can't forget it. Don't worry." After saying that, Sha Shiyan arched his hand to Gao Yu, turned around and galloped away,

Returning to the original royal palace of Helan, the two took a break and left for Xingqing Mansion the next day. As time went by, Gao Yu and Liang Yifu seemed to be closer and closer day by day. This feeling was innate. It seemed that the two of them had endless talk every day. They rushed to the road together during the day and chatted while drinking at night. Gao Yusi There was no deliberate flattery because the other party was the prince of Xixia, but the inexplicable sense of closeness made the two people get closer and closer, and gradually seemed to have nothing to say,

On this day, the two of them stayed at the post station on the way, drinking and chatting. When it comes to this trip to Yanzhou, Gao Yu asked Liang Yiqi, "Do you know what this Sha Shiyan does?"

"Of course I know, it's a private salt seller."

"Do you know that it is illegal to sell salt? Aren't you afraid of being used by him?"

Liang Yiyu smiled and said, "Brother Gao, it is illegal to sell private salt, but the people need them. In these years, in order to pay off the debt in Xixia, most of the fiscal revenue is from the official salt. If there is no private salt seller, what will the people eat?"

"Ha ha, it's a little interesting. It seems that you are dissatisfied with the court." Gao Yu asked tentatively,

"I'm not dissatisfied with the court, I'm just taking advantage of the situation. You think the government doesn't care about private salt. Why should I take care of it? Where does private salt flow from? Private people can't open a salt farm. With so much private salt for sale, there are also Song Dynasty in Western Xia. Where did it come from?"

"official and private collusion."

A crisp ringing finger, which is Liang Yi's habitual action: " By the way, it's a little unpleasant to say collusion. It's better to say official instructions."

This boy is quite smart, and Gao Yu also smiled: "On the surface, in order to pay off the debt, Xixia raised the salt price to increase the income of the court, and secretly instructed the sale of private salt to stabilize prices and people's hearts."

"On this issue, Xixia and the Song Dynasty actually have a tacit understanding. What's more, these private salt merchants are familiar with the situation on both sides of the border, and now they are very powerful. As the guards of the border, they all use their existing benefits to fight for them. They usually don't cause trouble and use it in wartime, so they have this year's The climate."

Gao Yu pointed to Liang Yiqi and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you were quite thorough in the question. You didn't think of a way to solve Xixia's problem."

"It's not my turn to think..." There seems to be some resentment in these words,

"Yes, you are still too young." Wang secretly observed Liang Yiyu,

"Young, I think the former emperor ascended the throne at the age of 16, and the king of the Song Dynasty came to our Western Xia on behalf of the Song Dynasty at the age of 18."

"Aren't you also going to the Song Dynasty, haha"

"I went there secretly. They came to talk about business on behalf of the Song Dynasty as an envoy."

"Isn't this easy to do? The Empress Dowager is your aunt, and the emperor is your cousin and your brother-in-law. Just hire an official position to do something big."

"Brother Gao, you really don't know that I get along well with the emperor, but the emperor is a puppet. The empress dowager has been in power since the death of the previous emperor. We were only a few years old at that time. Why did the empress dowager imprison the emperor this time? Isn't it because we plan to transfer the land south of the Yellow River to the Song Dynasty? With the help of the power of the Song Dynasty in a good way. To regain real power."

Wang put down his glass, looked at Liang Yiyu and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"Cut, what do I think is important?" Liang Yiqi shrugged his shoulders. It's not easy for a ten-year-old to disguise himself. He seems to mind that his ideas are not valued.

"It doesn't matter to the empress dowager and the emperor, but it's important to me." Gao Yu encouraged Liang Yiyu with firm eyes,

"Oh, Brother Gao, it would be great if you weren't from Dali."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know why, but I believe in you inexplicably. I have never said anything to others for so many years, and I am willing to tell you, including my views on the court, but you are the messenger of Dali. Sooner or later you will return to Dali..."

Gao Yu put his hand on Liang Yibu's shoulder: "Brother, for your trust in me, I decided not to go back to Dali."

"Really, but can you not go back?"

"Of course, I'm determined not to go back when I come out this time."

"Why?"

"Because... because Dali is unwilling to fight with the Song Dynasty, my favorite woman was sent to the Song Dynasty to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Do you think I have to repay the hatred of my wife for the sake of my beloved?"

When did you become a lie? I don't care about him. Take one step at a time. You must let Liang Yiyu stand on the same front with him.

Liang Yiyu grabbed Gao Yu's hand and was very excited: "Brother Gao, I have only heard of this tragic story but have never seen it. Now I finally know that there is such a tragedy in the world. There are affectionate people like Brother Gao."

"I've heard of it, I haven't seen it, 25,000 miles, some people say, I don't do it, how can I know it's not easy?" Gao Yu sighed,

"Good word, what kind of word is this?" Liang Yiqi opened his eyes wide and asked,

"Self-created, self-created, I named "New Long March" Gao Yu felt that he was about to sweat. He hurriedly asked, "Now you can tell me what you think of the emperor's behavior."

Liang Yiqi drank all the wine in the glass and said, "Liang's dictatorship is abominable. It's sad that the emperor cedes the land to seek power."

This is not like the son of the current prime minister. What the prince of Xixia should say, Gao Yu was also stunned. Unexpectedly, these short comments were so sharp that he had to look at Liang Yiyu, who was usually a little childish.

Liang Yiyu suddenly blushed: "Brother Gao, I've been holding my heart for a long time. Don't say it."

In a blink of an eye, he was like an angry ball. Just now, his momentum was gone. Gao Yu sneered. After all, he was ten ** years old, a child who grew up in a honeypot, but if this child is good, he must have a future.

"What's wrong with you? You're all right. What do you want to do in the future?"

"Since I said it, I have said it. I don't have any plans. It's good to be a prince now. Although the empress dowager never reuses me, I can ride a horse on Helan Plain. I live a happy life. What's the use of thinking too much? It's impossible for me to lead soldiers. Besides, after I do my best to the court, don't look at me. Dad always scolded Wang. I don't think so. I've heard of Wang's things, including his and his father's reform. How innovative it is. He tried his best and couldn't do well on his deathbed. And so did his uncle Li Xili. He studied the culture of the Song Dynasty all his life and gave so many suggestions to the court. In the end, he didn't It was implicated by the emperor's east window incident, and not even a whole body fell.

Gao Yu listened to Liang Yiyu's words and had mixed feelings in his heart. Old people look at things sharply, but they are young but not as bloody as the old generation.

"If Song Jun enters Xixia, what will you do?" Gao Yu asked,

"Well, if I can't get in, I will be my prince at ease. If I get in, I will fight to the bloody battlefield and become famous for a lifetime. Anyway, it's better than being framed by the court. Look at it."

Liang Yiqi said that suddenly with his wrist, a dart flew out of his hand, and heard a sound outside the door, and one person fell to the ground.
