For Lee so-sook, he can do without the world. It's just that he didn't dare to say this openly, for fear of chilling the hearts of these old ministers.

If their hearts are cold, their hope of saving their sister is even slimmer.

Li Wangyuan and Li Xiushu have relied on each other in the Dadu Palace for decades, and this brother-sister relationship is far beyond the imagination of these old ministers of Western Xia.

It's a pity that they don't know, otherwise they wouldn't always use the general trend of the world to persuade Li Wangyuan, who values his sister but not the world.

Fortunately, among these courtiers, there are also discerning people.

Zhongsun Qifu slowly walked out of the ranks.

He was the oldest, and he saw the most. At this time, looking at Li Wangyuan's expression, he had to sigh softly in his heart.

When it comes to this, the prince is still thinking about Princess Xiushu. This thought, if he can't see it again, it will be considered that he has lived for so many years in vain.

Single-handedly pulled out the old forces of Western Xia from the cracks, and Zhongsun Qifu, who grew up quietly like a small grass, would not even have such a little eyesight.

He arched his hand at Li Wangyuan and said, "Prince, the princess naturally wants to be saved, but the old minister thinks that he has to exchange it for Kuizhou." ”

When he said this, not only Li Wangyuan was surprised, but even the ministers and generals in the palace were surprised.

They had never heard this from Lord Zhongsun Qifu.

As everyone knows, Zhongsun Qifu also came up with a method when they just admonished.

In Li Wangyuan's expectant gaze, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Song Dynasty coerced our dynasty with Princess Xiushu, why can't our dynasty use the royal family of the Song Dynasty to coerce them?" My Western Xia royal family withered, and their Great Song Dynasty was no better. In the entire court, there are only two people, Emperor Zhao Yu and King Guang Zhao Yu. ”

There was a sparkle in someone's eye.

Li Wangyuan's butt lifted slightly from the chair, "What does Lord Zhongsun mean......?" Is it to kidnap Zhao Hao? ”

He is not without the slightest political sensitivity.

Zhongsun Qifu nodded slightly, "Exactly." Zhao Yu divided Yongzhou, we only need to send a master to hold him hostage, and it will be easy to change the princess to return to the dynasty. ”

Li Wangyuan stared at his eyebrows and was silent for a long time, then his ass fell again, and finally nodded.

In fact, with his temperament, he is not willing to do that kind of backsliding. But for now, he clearly has no other choice.

He was unwilling to go back on his word, and these ministers below forced him to go back on his word.

Someone looked at Zhongsun Qifu, "Then may I ask Lord Zhongsun, this Kuizhou, do we take it, or don't we take it?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu chuckled and said, "Of course." At present, the Great Song Dynasty and Shuzhong have not made up their minds to tear their faces, if such an opportunity is missed, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the will of heaven? ”

The ministers and generals in the hall also chuckled.

The situation in the world has developed to this point, and they have grown at a very fast speed, and it can really be said that God is helping them.

Li Wangyuan discarded the only hesitation in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the generals will obey the order!" ”

"The last general!"

On the right side of the hall stood all the military generals and knelt on the ground.

Li Wangyuan said: "This prince ordered you to immediately rectify the soldiers and horses and gather grain and grass. A month later, the army was sent to Kuizhou! ”

"The last general commands!"

On this day, all the civil and military generals in Western Xia can be said to feel refreshed.

can take Kuizhou, and can save Princess Xiushu, finally don't raise the bar with the prince for this matter. It is said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but this time, they said they can't have both.

"Lord Zhongsun, you stay."

When everyone was about to leave the mansion, Li Wangyuan spoke out again to leave Zhongsun Qifu behind.

Zhongsun Qifu was smiling, with a wise light in his eyes, and when everyone left, he asked Li Wangyuan with a smile, "The prince wants to ask who the minister plans to send to kidnap Zhao Yu, the king of Guang, right?" ”

Of course, Li Wangyuan was quite polite to Zhongsun Qifu, and he didn't mind touting himself, "Lord Zhongsun is worthy of being my Xixia think tank, and this wisdom is beyond the reach of this prince." ”

But if you really want to talk about it, Zhongsun Qifu seems to be worthy of this.

He smiled lightly: "The prince has heard of Tingchaofu?" ”

Li Wangyuan groaned slightly, "I have heard of it when I was in Dadu, and it is said that it is a spy force that can be compared with the Yuan Dynasty's Dark Zilou and Shuzhong Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

Immediately, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Could it be that this Tingchao Mansion is owned by me in Western Xia?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhongsun Qifu said: "The old minister has been secretly developing the Tingchao Mansion for decades, but in recent days, the prince has been worried about Princess Xiushu, and the old minister has not told the prince about these trivial things. ”

said that it was trivial, but on his face, he was naturally still a little proud.

Li Wangyuan didn't care about this, but said again: "Then Lord Zhongsun, are you planning to let Tingchao Mansion take action?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu laughed loudly, "The Wuding Hall of the Song Dynasty is now famous, the Yuan Dynasty has a green forest camp, and even there is a broken military academy palace and its ambiguity in Shu. We, Xixia, should also let the Jianghu people see our strength. After the old minister set up the Tingchao Mansion, there was also a group of masters of the rivers and lakes in the mansion, gathered in the Yipintang, although it may not be able to be compared with the green forest camp of the Yuan Dynasty, but it is not difficult to rob Zhao Hao. ”

"Yipintang?"

Li Wangyuan couldn't help but nod lightly, "This prince has never heard of it in the Yuan Dynasty, I don't know how many masters there are?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu arched his hand: "The old minister will present the roster and the order talisman later, Yipintang, and you will definitely not be disappointed." ”

Li Wangyuan sighed, "It is really a blessing for me to have Lord Zhongsun." ”

After staying in the Western Xia Dynasty for so long, he naturally learned some of the ways of kings, and at that moment he actually bowed to Zhongsun Qifu and said: "This prince is willing to worship Lord Zhongsun as the crown prince and princess, and ask the prince for permission." ”

He is the prince, but he is the only prince in Western Xia, and he is no different from the crown prince, and he will be the emperor of Western Xia in the future.

At this time, worshipping Zhongsun Qifu as the crown prince is equivalent to promising the position of Zhongsun Qifu as the prince.

Taifu is not only an emperor in the court, but also a few more noble than ordinary officials.

Rao is Zhongsun Qifu was already the most prestigious person in Western Xia at this time, and when he heard Li Wangyuan's words, he couldn't help but be moved. There are even signs of old tears.

He has been planning for Western Xia for so many years, what is he trying to do?

Originally, Li Wangyuan did not have a king and a tyrant in the way of imperial rule, and he lacked trade-offs, which made him inevitably disappointed. Now, there is finally some hope in my heart.

At least the prince can trust an old minister like him, and he is not stingy with grace.

If you don't understand the way of the emperor, you can learn it. If you are narrow-minded by nature, then there is really no hope.

The old minister, who had endured for decades in Western Xia, had a choked voice with a little choked, "Old minister...... Thanksgiving. ”

Li Wangyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "In the future, Lord Zhongsun will be the only master of Wangyuan and the only emperor of Western Xia." ”

Zhongsun Qifu hurriedly helped Li Wangyuan up, "The old minister is determined to be the prince and do his best." ”

For a while, it seemed that the master-apprentice relationship was deep.

Nearly 20 days have passed, and it is the end of March.

On the sea, the merchant ships flying the flag of the Sea Dragon Gang are still heading north. But at this time, you can finally see the lush Liuqiu Island.

There are not many boats on the sea, and none of them have a flag, just ordinary fishing boats.

The merchant ships headed for the harbor.

Zhao Dongting and the others were still sitting cross-legged in the cabin, and the little bean sprouts were still holding the Pu knife next to them.

Since Zhao Dongting and others showed their skills in the Dongsha Islands, they have suddenly become estranged from Lao Wu Tou and others. The thugs and sailors didn't dare to get too close to Zhao Dongting anymore.

Zhao Dongting was also happy to be idle.

When you arrive at the port, you can see the flags on the port.

There are many sea ships docked outside the port, and it looks like they haven't been out for a long time.

There were Liuqiu soldiers in khaki uniforms standing around the harbor, their blades reflecting a blinding chill in the sunlight.

"Zhao Gongzi, the front is Liuqiu."

Old Wutou's voice came from the deck into the cabin.

Zhao Dongting opened his eyes, walked to the deck and looked at the port, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "Liuqiu is determined to cut off maritime trade with our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Then he looked at Lao Wu Tou, "I'm afraid our ship won't be able to enter the port?" ”

Old Wu Tou smiled bitterly, "Now merchant ships with documents can't enter the port, ...... like us"

"Oh!"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Then turn around." ”

Old Wu Tou was surprised, "Childe, this is?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "You can't enter the port, can't this son step on this magnificent wave and land on Liuqiu Island?" ”
