Chapter 108 Crisis is surging
Li Xili heard that Manba had returned to Xingqing Mansion, and came to visit Lord Manba's house early in the morning. In terms of official status, one of them was a royal brother and the other was a general who protected the country. But Li Xili's respect for Manma is far more than that.
Manma has a deep friendship with the Yeli family. When the Yeli family fell, most of the officials in the court were afraid of avoiding Li Xili. But there is a saying that Li Xili has a deep understanding. When you are glorious, your friends know who you are; when you are depressed, you know who your friends are.
Li Xili is grateful for Liang Luoyao and Liang Yibu's father Liang Zuowei. At the same time, he also knows that Liang Zuowei has a deep intention. But if there was no General Manma at that time, it would not be enough to save Li Xili just by relying on Liang Zuowei. It can be seen how important Manma is to Li Xili.
Man Mi was about to send someone to find Li Xili. Seeing that he was coming, after letting Li Xili sit down, he asked bluntly, "Xili, the king from the State of Song, but you invited him."
Li Xili was stunned. Manma returned to Xingqing Mansion yesterday, and he knew the person next to the king so soon. He hurriedly said, "Exactly, I don't know why Lord Man asked this question?"
In front of Manma, Li Xili was more like a weak scholar. He looked at the old general in front of him, somewhat awed. Seeing that he asked about Wang Bian, he couldn't help worrying about whether Wang Bian and Manma had any old grievances. Thinking that Wang is only 20 years old, and it is his first time to come to Xixia. There may not be old grievances, but I'm afraid he will cause some trouble?
Looking at Li Xili's suspicious expression, he laughed and said in his bell-like voice, "Don't worry, this young man is not wrong. I didn't expect that there was such a talent in the State of Song, but I don't know if this person can have any official position in the State of Song?
Li Xili did not dare to hide it, so he said, "The man next to Wang is just a businessman in the Song Dynasty, but he founded Cloud Picks, which attracted the admiration of some people who like Chinese culture. He has no official position, but..."
He paused and looked at Manma and said, "However, it is said that his father is an official of the State of Song, and Wang Bian himself is also loved by Zhao Zhen, the current emperor of the State of Song."
Man Mi said disdainfully, "Oh, that's nothing. It's not the enemy general who leads the army. I think this boy is also quite popular. Manma said this, which is also true. He is now nearly 60 years old. Looking at the king's qi and blood, he naturally likes it. What's more, when he came back this time, he also planned to stay in the court and consolidate his power.
Li Xili asked, "Is it that Lord Man has seen the king?" Man Mi told Li Xili what he saw on the street yesterday, and finally said, "I think this young man is a little fierce."
Hearing what Manma said, Li Xili couldn't help but be nervous for Wang. This Lalei relied on his daughter to marry Liang Yibu. Now he is arrogant in the court. Although his son Ji Laqing is young, he has no skills all day long. How could Wang side have a grudge against him? However, seeing that Manma had a good impression on Wang, he hurriedly said, "The king is dressed in cloth, and coming to Xixia is just a cultural exchange between vassals and Han. Since Lord Man has a good impression on this person, it's better for me to introduce him to meet adults. How about it?"
This is exactly what Manma thought. Li Xili left Manma Mansion and thought about it while walking. Originally, he wanted to directly introduce Wang to the queen, but Wang's idea was really to give a speech poem or food and wine to explain the tea ceremony every day, and ignored Li Xili's idea at all.
It seems that Wang didn't want to cooperate with him. Li Xili didn't blame Wang. Originally, he was hesitating, and Wang also treated him with courtesy. Sometimes Li Xili couldn't tell the difference between him and the king, who was the master and who was the guest, and he gradually felt that the king was very reasonable.
Thinking of this, Li Xili smiled helplessly. At least he was seven or eight years older than the king, and he was not as good as the king. Looking up at the door of Guan Yi, I saw three or five people waiting there. When the shopkeeper saw Li Xili coming, he quickly took out a few famous posts, "Lord Li, this is the schedule arranged by Mr. Wang tomorrow. Please have a look."
If the king sees who doesn't see whom, it will naturally be seen by Li Xili. This is both politeness and rule. Since Wang's trip in the State of Xia was invited by Li Xili, he naturally accompanied Li Xili throughout the whole process. Except for Wang's rest on the day, no one was seen, so it happened that Li Xili was also proud to gasp and arrange some of his own affairs.
Li Xili looked at it, but there was still no arrangement to meet the prime minister. He muttered in his heart that he was going to persuade the king, otherwise Liang would definitely think that he was obstructing from it, but when he thought that today's Manma also wanted to see the king, Li Xili's psychology naturally leaned towards Manma.
After reading the famous post, Li Xili said, "Just follow the arrangement of the prince." He walked into Guan Yi and went to the guest room on the second floor to look for the king.
When Wang saw Li Xili coming, he knew that it was Li Xili's personal matter. Then he asked Cai Jing to take out his tea from his luggage and entertain Li Xili. Cai Jing took water to make tea and quietly told Wang that the tea he had brought was about to be gone. Wang knew that in addition to this, Cai Jing wanted to go back to Bianjing.
In fact, Wang is more or less homesick. It's been almost two months since he came out. Now it's almost the twelfth lunar month. I guess it will be delayed like this. This year will be spent in Xixia. No wonder Cai Jing wants to go back. However, you can't worry about everything. You have been staying for so many days. If you go back like this, Wang is also unwilling. Moreover, he knew that it was one thing not to leave in Xingqing Mansion. If he clearly saw Liang Yi's famous post now, and if he didn't see it, it would be another thing.
Hearing that Manba was going to see himself, Wang Bian readily agreed. Manbao's fame had been heard by Wang for a long time. This is a general in Xixia, and he is also straightforward for Xixia. Although he is not in line with the Yeli family, his reputation is indeed fought on the battlefield all year round.
Li Xili was entrusted by Manba to ask the king. Seeing that the king agreed happily, he immediately sent an attendant to return to Manba. Manba was also impatient, so he simply ordered a dinner party to the king on the same day. The king saw that Manba was nothing more than polite in the official court, but during the banquet, the king learned that Li Liangzuo would return to Xingqing Mansion in the near future.
At the same time, there was another person next to Wang, that is, Ji Laqing, who was clicked in the street by Wang. He drooped his head in the house buried by his brother-in-law Liang Yi and listened to his brother-in-law's reprimand.
But it's a reprimand. Liang Yi buried it didn't dare to say too much. At most, it was not promising. Liang Yi buried his heart: I can't wait for Laqing to kill the king on the street at that time, so that he didn't have to take action. What's more, this king really doesn't give himself face. Liang Yi's anger doesn't know where he is going.
Seeing that Liang Yi buried no longer said anything, he squeezed his eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, this boy is so ignorant, how about when he goes out of Xingqing Mansion and find someone to kill him?"
Liang Yi patted the table: "Bam, the king is the messenger to communicate. If something happens in Xixia, can you take responsibility?" Ji Laqing immediately shut up and lowered his head. He was so unconvinced that a native of the State of Song dared to embarrass himself in Xingqing Mansion.
Liang Yi buried his mind and pointed to him and said, "I warn you, don't say that you embarrass you, but you can't embarrass me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two coughs, and the spicy thunder noodles appeared at the door. Naturally, no one dared to stop his father-in-law from going in and out. Ji Lalei heard that his son was ugly on the street. Seeing that Ji Laqing had not returned home for a long time, he guessed that he must have gone to his brother-in-law to ask for help. Usually, I didn't care about teaching. Originally, I thought that Ji Laqing might have done something wrong, but when I heard my son-in-law's words, Ji Lalei's face was a little embarrassed.
Liang Yi got up in a hurry and came to meet his father-in-law. Ji Lalei walked to Ji Laqing, stared at him, and then said, "Do you think I have no way to teach my son?"
Liang Yi buried listening to his father-in-law call him the prime minister. Knowing that the old man was angry, he hurriedly said, "What did my father-in-law say? It's just the boy next to the king. You don't know that relying on his little cleverness, he did whatever he wanted in the State of Song. Now it's a guest again. The two countries are still fighting for each other, not to mention that trade is blocked now. If there is a chance to do business, it is a big plan. How can it be a big plan to fight for this child's family?
Ji Laqing interrupted aggrievedly: "He didn't look at our Xixia country..." Before he finished speaking, he was drunk by Ji Lalei, "Shut up!" Zhizi Mo Ru's father, Ji Lalei is very annoyed by Ji Laqing's lack of learning skills. Fortunately, Ji Laqing prefers martial arts. Although he lost to Wang Bian today, it was also because he was too careless about the enemy. Among the descendants of the people, Ji Laqing practiced martial arts better than ordinary children.
This also made Ji Laqing more domineering, especially Ji Lalei knew that Ji Laqing loved swords as much as he didn't hide, and compared knives with others when he had nothing to do. When he sealed up Pang's home, Liang Yi buried and gave the hidden knife to his brother-in-law.
After scolding his son, Ji Lalei turned his face and looked at his son-in-law Liang Yi: "So there is no way for the prime minister to teach this boy a lesson?"
"This..." Liang Yi buried knew that Wang's side had provoked his father-in-law this time, but now that his sister wants to see Wang's side, she still doesn't know what the queen's sister plans to do. So he said, "Now there is a decree that it is not easy to break it if you want to see this king."
Ji Lalei sneered: "The Emperor Yizong is about to return to Xingqing Mansion. If the king is shocked by the holy driver, I, Yiweisi, no matter who he is."
When Liang Yi heard what his father-in-law said, his heart moved. He leaned over and whispered in his father-in-law's ear, and then his father-in-law nodded and smiled. Liang Yi buried not only wanted to protect the majesty of his queen's sister, but also to teach the king a lesson to make the Song Dynasty speechless. At this time, he and Ji Lalei made a plan to scare the king and assassinate the queen in disguise. Even if he can't kill the king this time, he will not be allowed to return to the State of Song.
The plan was under discussion. Someone came to report Liang Yi's burial, and Wang was invited to Manma's house. Ji Lalei frowned. If Manma recommended Li Liangzuo to the king, it would be difficult to do this matter. He asked Liang Yi, "Sage son-in-law, this matter is only two days. We have to catch him for the crime of breaking into the inner palace before the emperor comes back."
