Chapter 202: The Empress's Ambition
A human head affects the hearts of the entire Western Xia, and the Jin King Richard, known as the undefeated god of war in the Western Xia, was not only defeated and captured, but now even his head has been cut off. The most unacceptable thing is that under the protection of Shui Ayabo, the number one master in Western Xia, Brother Richard was killed, so where is it safe in the future.
Obviously, the Great Song Dynasty sent someone to send Li Chage's head to declare one thing, that is, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was not as powerful as everyone imagined, and he couldn't even keep his own brother, how could he keep those who took refuge in him? Now it has made people panic, and many people who have taken refuge in Li Qianshun regret it, feeling that the original choice was too rash, and now they are eager to slap themselves a few times.
These days, Queen Yelu Nanxian lives like a year, and she has nightmares every day, if she doesn't have children, she doesn't know what will happen. However, after Brother Richard was killed, someone sent Brother Richard's head to Xingqing Mansion, at this time, the big stone in Yelu Nanxian's heart finally landed, she knew that Liu Zhenglong had feelings for herself and would not ignore herself. Of course, in the world, only Liu Zhenglong can save himself, and only this man can reverse the situation.
Yelu Nanxian, who was in a good mood, knew that the melons would be ripe in a few months, of course, if the child was not born, Liu Zhenglong would not come. She sent someone to call Li Renyun, the king of letters, this young man still needs to be cheered, otherwise how can he have the confidence to beat the opponent?
Li Renyun, the king of letters, is under a lot of pressure these days, but although this guy is Alexander, he has never thought of betrayal, and of course, he can't betray it. For this young man, once the queen Yelu Nanxian falls, then he will be uprooted. What we need to do now is to keep our current power and make a decision before we act. As long as the situation is stabilized and the difficulties are overcome, as long as the Great Song side intervenes, the whole situation will be reversed.
Sure enough, the head of Brother Richard, the king of Jin, was cut off, although this is just a small thing, but it is a big thing for Li Renyun, the king of letters, he knows that the sky is going to be reversed, it seems that the queen's lover is really hand-eyed and omnipotent. If this continues, it won't be long before everything will return to normal channels.
Hearing that the queen had summoned her, Li Renyun, the king of letters, quickly changed her clothes and entered the palace.
Empress Yelu Nanxian looked at King Xin's Li Renyun and said, "It seems that King Xin has not rested well recently, is he under a lot of pressure, and does he regret getting on the boat of the palace." ”
"Back to Niangniang, the minister really didn't rest well and was under a lot of pressure, but he definitely didn't regret it." After sitting down, Li Renyun, the king of letters, said: "If I don't have the support of my mother, I am just an insignificant royal family, and I have no chance to get ahead in this life and this life." Now that Brother Richard, the king of Jin, is dead, the next step, as long as we plan properly, we can take out the Yiwang Li Renkai. ”
"It seems that your confidence has been restored, but the pattern is too small." Empress Yelu Nanxian's pretty face showed an unbelievable smile, and she slowly sipped the tea, and said unhurriedly: "Emperor Li Qianshun is seriously injured, although it is rumored that he has been cured by the outside world, but the mourning family still has a way to make him seriously ill again, and after the fan layout is in place, he can also die." ”
What, the queen wants to kill the king? Li Renyun, the king of letters, did not expect that the queen would have a plan to kill the king, at this time, his first reaction was that he heard it wrong, and the second reaction was that this woman was too powerful and too ambitious.
I don't know why, when I knew that Queen Yelu Nanxian had a plan to kill the king, Li Renyun, the king of letters, regretted it a little, feeling that this woman was too ambitious, and it would lead Xixia into the abyss of no return. He regretted it a little in his heart, but on the surface, he still showed obedience.
Queen Yelu Nanxian is not so easy to fool, she said a little lonely: "Before the crown prince Li Renai was assassinated, the mourning family just wanted to be the queen and assist my son in controlling the court situation. However, he died, and the mourning dream awoke. The current Western Xia has reached a turning point in its fate, either it will be finally annexed by the Jin State, or it will eventually belong to the Great Song Dynasty, which is inevitable and no one can reverse it. Now, I am pregnant with that person's child, and if it is a boy, he will definitely become the emperor of Western Xia in the future, which is the only possibility to keep Western Xia intact. That person's strength was too great, so big that it was impossible to resist. Now his men are actively preparing for a battle with the cavalry of the Jin State in Yunzhou. Once they have expelled the Jin army from Yunzhou, then you will begin to prepare your plan against King Yi. There is absolutely no room for error this time, King Yi is very cunning, if you don't use your brains more, you can't fight him. ”
Before, a lot of things were just legends. However, under the protection of Shui Ayabo, the first master of Western Xia, the king of Jin, the head was cut off, so the legend is no longer a legend. The man who conquered the queen was destined to conquer Western Xia.
"Niangniang, what if that person's subordinates can't defeat the Jin Army and are finally defeated by the Jin Army?" Li Renyun, the king of letters, had heard that the Jin Iron Cavalry was powerful, and did not think that that man's men could defeat the Jin army.
"If the Jin army wins, then King Yi will have the absolute upper hand and uproot you, you know that very well, so don't ask me what will happen in the end. One thing is certain, no matter who wins in the end, the mourning family is enough to protect themselves, but they can't protect you, so let's go down and prepare, don't let Yiwang take the lead in chopping off your skull. ”
Yelu Nanxian also thought about what it would be like if Liu Zhenglong was defeated, but she firmly believed that if she could conquer herself, other men would definitely conquer the world.
The head of Brother Richard, the king of Jin, was placed on the table, Emperor Li Qianshun wanted to see it, but he didn't dare to look at it, he knew that it was over, Brother Richard was dead, so no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the war. Unless there is a miracle now, it is destined that the imperial power of Western Xia will finally fall into the hands of Empress Yelu Nanxian, and he will be imprisoned again.
Disappointment, although extremely disappointed, but Yiwang Li Renkai is still cheering up Emperor Li Qianshun and cheering up this wasted monarch, otherwise he is destined to be devoured by the queen.
After pondering for a long time, King Li Renkai said: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Jin was killed, the general trend is still on our side, and most of the royal magnates are still on this side. In addition, there were 30,000 cavalry in Yunzhou, the state of Jin, which maintained enough deterrent power for Western Xia. It is enough to offset the influence of the Song army on our country, and for us, as long as the time is ripe, imprison the queen Yelu Nanxian and capture Li Renyun, the king of letters, then you can still make your own decisions. ”
"Hey, that's easier said than done!" Li Qianshun was defeated by the Song army, and in his opinion, the Song army and the Jin army should be at the same level, and they are both difficult to defeat. The two are at war, and it is difficult to tell the winner from the loser, at most it is a draw.
Even if there is no external force, can you defeat the queen with your current strength? Emperor Li Qianshun has no bottom in his heart, others don't know, but he knows the strength of Empress Yelu Nanxian, and it is not easy to defeat such an opponent.
Yiwang Li Renkai is full of confidence, of course, this is inseparable from the support of the big guy behind him. He said righteously: "Your Majesty, most of the royal family and powerful people still support you, as long as we operate properly, we will definitely be able to stabilize the king of faith." As long as the Jin army defeats the Song army in Yunzhou, or has a draw with the Song army, we all have the strength to finally complete the counterattack. ”
"Well, on behalf of me, you move more among the nobles and magnates, and be sure to win their support, especially the support of the military and the leaders of the major tribes."
I don't know why, Li Qianshun has no bottom in his heart, but as an emperor, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he must not show weakness to the outside world. But there is one thing, this Western Xia emperor knows best, the Jin army in the outside world can't be counted on, and if you want to counterattack, you still have to rely on yourself and seek supporters among the powerful.
The head of Brother Richard, the king of Jin, was delivered safely, but Yan Shun did not go back, and he secretly visited the queen Yelu Nanxian.
Yelu Nanxian was very pleased with Yan Shun's arrival, and she said bluntly: "Some time ago, a lot of things happened in Xingqing Mansion, because your people were broken one by one and finally eradicated, which caused great passivity in the palace. These royal magnates have not been very convinced of the palace all along, and they have always wanted to expel the palace. Now, you're here, it's all great, I hope you can maintain a strong enough deterrent for these people, and in the battle between the emperor and the queen, you won't be a blind team, at least you will remain neutral. Let these people know that the singing against this palace is the same as Brother Richard. This time, the mourning family is all up to you, and I hope you don't disappoint the mourning family. ”
Queen Yelu Nanxian was disappointed or not, in fact, it was not important to Yan Shun. But the problem is that this guy has already made a big mistake once, and he can't make a mistake again, otherwise he will definitely die and have no place to be buried.
Yan Shun pondered for a moment and then said, "Then I don't know, how much deterrent power does the queen mother need?" ”
"Assassinate Emperor Li Qianshun."
"Ahh Yan Shun didn't expect Empress Yelu Nanxian to make such a request, he shook his head and said: "No, before defeating the Jin army, you can't assassinate Li Qianshun, this Western Xia emperor can't die, otherwise, the entire Western Xia will fall into endless infighting, and when the time comes, you won't be able to control the situation." ”
Empress Yelu Nanxian seemed to have guessed that Yan Shun would refuse her, and she said unhurriedly: "I didn't say let Li Qianshun die, and you don't have to be so nervous." Li Qianshun could only die at the hands of Yiwang Li Renkai in the end, otherwise Western Xia would indeed have civil strife. But the entire Western Xia knew that if Li Renkai was loyal to Li Qianshun, and if this guy killed the king, then those who supported Li Qianshun would be completely dead. ”
What a mess, Yan Shun was confused, how could there be such a ridiculous thing as thinking that Li Renkai assassinated Emperor Li Qianshun.
Yan Shun didn't quite understand, but he knew that Queen Yelu Nanxian would definitely have a chance if she said this, so he could only wait silently in this situation.
Sure enough, Queen Yelu Nanxian said: "Actually, things are not as complicated as you think. The mourning family only needs you to assassinate Li Qianshun, no matter what the final result is, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that once there is an assassination operation, then the entire Xingqing Mansion will be panicked and rumored. Those who support Li Qianshun will be completely disappointed, His Majesty the Emperor can't protect his own brother, or even protect his own safety, how can he protect others? It is useless to promise more benefits, because if a person dies, there is nothing. Moreover, only by assassinating Li Qianshun can he successfully force this guy out, then the mourning family can take the opportunity to replace the guards around him and imprison this guy again. ”
"This can be done." For Yan Shun, as long as Li Qianshun does not die, then it is easy to say what to do, and he is also willing to help Queen Yelu Nanxian.
"As long as it is after the assassination of Li Qianshun, you will secretly send someone to contact Li Renkai, the king of Yi, and when the news of the defeat of the Jin army comes, he will agree to your request and obediently cooperate with you."
"Queen Mother, I feel incredible what good this will do you."
"There's nothing incredible. After Li Qianshun was assassinated, Yiwang Li Renkai would have a sense of crisis, he was not the kind of person who was loyal to the monarch and willing to sacrifice himself for His Majesty the Emperor. He would have firmly believed that Li Qianshun would not be able to control the situation, and then he would have the ambition of a wolf son to replace him. However, without the support of external forces, he will definitely not be able to fight Li Renyun, the king of letters, who has the support of the mourning family. ”
Speaking of saying goodbye to this, Queen Yelu Nanxian said a little deflated: "The mourning family is a woman, and now she is pregnant with Liujia, and she will soon enter the production period, in this case, it is difficult to control the court situation." Once there is some accident in King Xin, then King Yi will have the conditions to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, of course, this still needs to be supported by the outside world. ”
"Yes, the support of the outside world is nothing more than us or Jin Guo." At this time, Yan Shun understood why Empress Yelu Nanxian wanted to assassinate Li Qianshun.
"Of course, the premise for letting Yiwang Li Renkai defect to your lord is that the Song army's defeat of the Jin army can completely affect the upper echelons of Western Xia. Only in this situation did King Li Renkai have the courage to destroy Li Qianshun, refuse to believe in King Li Renyun, imprison the slave family, and finally seek to usurp the throne. ”
Queen Yelu Nanxian planned the future of Li Renkai, of course, the most important part of this, that is, the assassination of Li Qianshun, finally made Li Renkai aware of the sense of crisis and was willing to take risks.
At this time, Yan Shun could be regarded as understanding why the lord was obsessed with Yelu Nanxian, just because this woman was extremely smart and had great wisdom.
Yelu Nanxian said: "Go down and prepare, after assassinating and playing Li Qianshun, assassinate a few important ministers who are determined to follow Li Qianshun, and then contact Li Renkai, the king of Yi, remember to make contact steadily, don't be in a hurry." Before the end of the Yunzhou Campaign, don't give Li Renkai any promises, only in this way can Li Renkai dig his own pit and drill it himself. ”
