Chapter 112 If you provoke me, you will fight back

The palace in Xixia was built in the style of the capital of the Song Dynasty, but the building structure is more complicated. Between the groups of each hall, you can see other courtyards and the gates of each palace, and each courtyard is staggered with each other. In case you accidentally make a mistake, you will be punished.

The king put the map of the palace on the table. He Xingyuan pointed to the mark on the map and explained to the king. Look here, this is the Daqing Hall of Daqing, which receives hundreds of officials. To the north of it, it is the Jiying Hall of the usual court meeting; to the east is the hall where the emperor rests in the court, where the officials are summoned..."

He explained one by one, where is the Hanlin Academy, the Jade Hall, the Chengming Hall and the Jinluan Hall. Then he pointed to a large palace in the north and said, "Behind this is the inner courtyard of the palace, which is very accessible. Even if the emperor invites the prince, if no one guides the prince to go wrong, it will be a disaster.

He Xingyuan pointed to several doors on the way and said, "Look at this place. Anyone who enters without permission is subject to entering these doors. The "Tiansheng Law Order" of Xixia stipulates that those who are not allowed to enter the palace will be sentenced to different crimes according to the depth of the palace gate. The lightest is the "car door", followed by the "Shezhimen", and then the "Guanghanmen" and the "Huaimen" in the north and south. If they mistakenly enter the emperor's account, they will be sentenced to the heaviest punishment.

The king remembered the map in his heart and thought that the prince's bedroom was in the east of Guanghan Gate, and he had to enter Huaimen to reach the prince's bedroom. If you don't enter the prince's bedroom, it may not be difficult to find an opportunity to see the prince.

His hand touched the jade around his waist. When he was married to Yuexia, he found a jade craftsman to imitate the piece of jade under the moon. Thinking of this, he had a countermeasure to see the prince in his heart.

He rolled up the map of the palace and handed it to He Xingyuan: "Thank you, Manager He. Please put this away first. Come on, sit down and drink tea." After that, he ordered Cai Jing to make good tea and sit down on the table with He Xingyuan.

Seeing that Wang was calm and idle, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be anxious and said, "Mr. Wang, what time is it? You're not in a hurry. If you want me to say that you just pack up and go straight away."

He Xingyuan stared at him: "Nonsense, there is still a reason not to go to the emperor's banquet."

Wang looked at Xiao Wu with a smile. He ordered Cai Jing to take out two ingots of silver, more than thirty taels. He put them on the table and said, "Take these to drink with your cousin. Think of them as I invited you."

Two ingots of silver are not a small number in Xixia. The purchasing power here is not as good as that of Jincheng. These two ingots of silver are enough for a person's expenditure for a year.

Xiao Wu knew that this was a reward from the king. He scratched his head and looked at the silver. He looked at the king and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm here to tell you about this. It's not your silver. We stay here, always worried that one day we will be dragged to the army to fight, and we are not at ease. I... I want to go back to the State of Song with you."

Wang looked at him. Xiao Wu was the youngest apprentice of He Xingyuan. He was in his early twenties and was born with five or three thick. He worked in this blacksmith's shop all year round. I don't know if he was roasted by fire in front of the iron stove all year round, as described in the old commentary: his face looks like a red date, which is probably this color. Hearing what he said, Wang looked at He Xingyuan.

He Xingyuan said to Wang, "To tell you the truth, the clerks of this blacksmith shop are almost all elders who follow my father. They are all Han people. These apprentices have followed me for many years, and Xiaowu hasn't got a family yet. If you don't mind doing more handymen..."

Wang side smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I can come back smoothly tomorrow. Just let him go with us. I just don't know how to call him. Does he have any relatives in the State of Song."

Xiao Wu was happy as soon as he heard it. "Master, I said that Mr. Wang would agree." He introduced himself to Wang: "My surname is Wu Ling, and I am also the fifth apprentice of the master. Everyone is used to calling me Xiao Wu; my ancestor is from Yunzhou, and I don't know if there are any relatives and friends in my family." Xiao Wu said in one breath.

Wang nodded: "When I return to the State of Song, I will find an opportunity to let you go back to your hometown."

Xiao Wu hurriedly thanked Wang. He still couldn't figure it out when he stood there. He was too happy, but he thought about what Wang said about returning to the State of Song. So how to pass this tomorrow? He asked the king, "It's good for me to go back, but I'm afraid that the prince will be in trouble tomorrow."

Cai Jing didn't know where he came out at this moment. He reached out and grabbed the silver on the table, put it in Xiao Wu's hand and said, "Fifth brother, don't talk about it. Go and send this to your cousin."

Xiao Wu thought about what the king was thinking and may not tell himself that he could do whatever he should do, so he turned around and left the room with the silver.

He Xingyuan looked at him and turned around and asked the king, "What's your plan?"

Wang said, "Now I only know that he wants to lead me. I don't know how to lead me, and it's useless to plan. Fortunately, you know the taboos and be careful everywhere.

He Xingyuan said, "Are you familiar with that Lord Manma?" Wang nodded. He knew that Manma had a good impression of him, and it was also Manma's work to introduce Li Liangzuo this time.

"I have it!" He Xingyuan patted his thigh: "Sir, you can ask Lord Manma for help." Wang asked, "How can Lord Man help?"

He Xingyuan said, "Mr. Wang knows that although this Yiweisi is responsible for the bodyguard, he is also not allowed to enter inside the Huaimen. The guards in the imperial city are strict. The bodyguards led by the Yiweisi are guarding at most at the gate, and the bodyguards are not allowed to enter the Huaimen. Those who patrol in Huaimen and all parts of the palace are forbidden troops, which belong to Feilongyuan."

He said that the king knew that the soldiers guarding the city and the guard in charge of royal security were two systems. If the State of Song were taken as an example, the famous imperial guard with a knife, Yumao Zhanzhao, belonged to the responsibility of Feilongyuan. Besides, Lin Chong was the leader of the forbidden army. It mostly belongs to the Feilongyuan system.

No matter how accurate it is, Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in a yellow robe in Huangqiao. It used to be inspected in front of the palace, which led the pro-military army. Of course, Taizu's inspection position will be abolished in the future, in case someone repeats the old trick. However, the royal forbidden army must still be retained. Although the real power is a little poor, it must also be cronies.

He Xingyuan continued: "Man Chang, the third son of Lord Man, is the commander of Feilongyuan. As long as Mr. Wang asks Lord Man for help, and the personal soldiers of Feilongyuan will lead Mr. Wang tomorrow, the matter will be much simpler.

Wang said, "This proposal is good, but if I go to Lord Man for help, won't I confess to Xiaowu's cousin, and now there is no empirical evidence. I rush to look for Lord Man. I'm afraid his temper will scare the snake."

The two were talking when the door was suddenly kicked open. Xiaowu held a seven- or eight-year-old child in his arms. Xiaowu came back in a sweat: "The shopkeeper is not good. That Laqing knew that you were going to leave Xingqing Mansion. He took someone to look for you, so he smashed the shop and kicked the casting."

He Xingyuan was shocked and hurried to see it. He Zhu's face was pale and his eyes were closed. What's going on?

Wang also followed. He saw that He Zhu's body temperature was still there, and there was a shoe mark on his chest. He should have been kicked and closed his breath. He hurriedly asked Xiaowu to put He Zhu in **, pinched He Zhu's nose, and began artificial respiration. That's all I can do at the moment. The child coughed violently and coughed up a piece of blood phlegm in his throat.

He Zhu woke up and sat up with his chest covered. Wang Zong hurriedly asked him how he felt. Seeing that He Zhu untied his clothes and saw that his chest was blue, Wang Zong then pressed it gently with his hand. He Zhu said that it was just a pain. Wang's side estimated that the internal injury should not be serious, but he was still worried. He told Cai Jing, "You know there is a pharmacy on the street. Go and invite Lang Zhong."

Seeing He Zhu wake up, Xiao Wu turned around and walked out. The king grabbed him and said, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Wu gasped and said angrily, "I'm going to settle accounts with that spicy Qing!"

"Stand up!" He Xingyuan drank it. He is distressed by his son He Zhu, but the people don't fight with the officials, and they will die if they go to the door. After roaring and standing, He Xingyuan shivered for a long time and couldn't speak.

Wang looked at He Xingyuan, who was shaking his child's little hand and patted him: "Mr. He, this Laqing usually dominates the party. If you can trust me, I will definitely help you breathe this!"

Seeing him say so, Xiao Wu calmed down a little. Wang asked Xiaowu what had happened. It turned out that the shopkeeper He arranged for everyone to rest today. When Xiaowu got the news, he came to look for the king with the shopkeeper He. The two left in a hurry and asked He Zhu to wait at home. Unexpectedly, Ji Laqing was looking for trouble. He couldn't find anyone. Before leaving, he kicked the child to vent his anger. Ji Laqing didn't dare to kick it too hard. After all, He Zhu was still a child, and he was more or less afraid of the king, just to give He Xingyuan a horse.

Xiao Wu went to find his cousin. He was very grateful to put down the silver. When he came back, he thought of Zhu'er, so he bought some food for his child and took it back. As soon as he arrived on the street and saw Ji Laqing taking people away, he had a hunch that something was going on and hurried back to the store. The neighbors also saw Ji Laqing leaving. They quickly gathered around and didn't know what to do. Xiao Wu just held the child and hurriedly looked for Manager He and Wang.

After listening to his story, Wang asked He Xingyuan, "Mr. He, why did you tie the knot with this spicy Qing?"

He Xingyuan sighed and said, "This Liangzi has been married for a long time. These princes in the capital often compete with swords. Two years ago, Ji Laqing didn't know where he got a lot of good swords. He often won, and the winner gambled a lot of money. Later, I took a good sword and was favored by Man Chang, so I gave it to Man Chang. I sent Manchang's sword and won a lot of spicy silver for him"

"At that time, Manchang was not the commander of Feilongyuan, but just a leader of Lalei. Later, because of General Manma's achievements, Manchang was promoted to his current position.

"Ji Laqing hates me because I sent a long sword. I often come to see swords. If I find good weapons, I will take them away.

After listening, Wang asked, "What is the relationship between Laqing and Manchang?"

He Xingyuan said, "They don't have a good relationship. When they are often under La Lei, they have been excluded for many years and can't be promoted. The spicy thunder was originally close to the Tibetan family. If he hadn't been bade to Liang and marry his daughter to Liang Yi, he wouldn't have seen it now.

After listening, Wang said to himself that it was easy to do. He said to He Xingyuan, "I'm going to Manchang Mansion, Xiaowu, please invite your cousin here. I have something important to discuss."

Although Wang is calm on the surface, his heart is already angry. This hot father and son are usually arrogant and domineering. Now he has bullied himself and the shopkeeper. When he is a subordinate, especially the shopkeeper He and Xiao Wu, who are older than him, he must show his calmness, but he provokes himself and bullies his subordinates. If he sits by, it will also make the people who follow him feel cold.

Wang Bian decided to go to Manme Mansion to sow discord first, and then be escorted by Feilongyuan tomorrow. Of course, we must teach the spicy father and son a lesson.
