Jiang Qing and the four agreed to make a notice in the name of Lu Chengyu and offered a reward of 1,000 yuan, but discounted the source of 1,000 yuan.

Jiang Qing said: "Once the notice is issued, it will be an order of the imperial court, if someone provides clues about Liu Min and the four of them, how to honor them?" If the marked bounty cannot be honored, it will damage the prestige of the imperial court! ”

As soon as Jiang Qing said this, Shenyang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang were all speechless.

The four of them were dull, but Jiang Qing still had a bright heart, and said: "Jiang has the seal letter of Lan Cai and the general manager of Ouchi here, which she handed over to Jiang for safekeeping before her death; It doesn't seem to be difficult to take the seal letter of Manager Lan and go to the pawn shop in the capital to borrow a thousand yuan! ”

"That's a good idea!" Shen Yang clapped his hands and praised: "Borrowing a pawn ticket of 1,000 yuan or 1,000 taels of silver from a pawn shop and cashing it out on the spot to the person who reported the news is a step ahead!" ”

Yang Guang interjected again: "It's not difficult to borrow a thousand yuan with the seal letter of the chief of Ouchi, but how to return it afterwards?" ”

"Of course, the court will pay it back!" Shen Yang said solemnly: "The proclamation was sent by the imperial court, and the money naturally has to be returned by the imperial court!" ”

"But the court doesn't know about it!" Yang Guang said vigilantly: "Of course the horse master doesn't know, it's a bit tricky to have no money and a pawnshop after the incident!" ”

Jiang Qing pondered for a moment and said: "In the end, if the game can't be concluded, Jiang will go to the emperor in person; The problem is that we have to catch Liu Min and the four, and if we can't catch Liu Min, we can catch any of the other three; When the emperor sees a prisoner, he will not only reward us; The coins to repay the pawnshop will be piggybacked! ”

The idea was decided, and the four of them acted separately; Shen Yang and Han Fei went to find someone to make a notice, and Jiang Qing and Yang Guang went out as tokens to borrow money. But Shen Yang and Han Fei quickly made the notice, Jiang Qing and Yang Guang found a few pawnshops but did not lend them, and later found a business name called "Hongyun Pawnshop", and things took a turn for the better.

Jiang Qing and Yang Guanglai took out the seals of Lan Cai and the general manager of Ouchi and said that they would use this as collateral to borrow a thousand yuan, and the owner of the Hongyun pawnshop was surnamed Zhang and wore a pair of glasses; Casting his gaze from the top of his glasses, he saw the seal letter of the chief administrator of Ouchi held by Jiang Qing, and without arguing a few words, he promised to borrow a thousand yuan from Jiang Qing and Yang Guangdang.

The generosity of the Fortune Pawnshop involved a character, this character named Li Jishou; It is the real owner investor of Hongyun Pawnshop.

When it comes to Li Jizhuo, we need to use some more pen and ink.

In 960 A.D., Zhao Kuangyin, Huang Pao, Chen Qiao, mutiny, seized the Later Zhou regime, the country name was Song, and the Yuan Jianlong was changed; Dingdu Bianliang, known as the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

At that time, Li Yiyin, a member of the Li family in Xiazhou, keenly sensed the change in the situation and took the initiative to move closer to the Song Dynasty; The first time to return to the table, and in order to avoid the Xuanzu Zhao Hongyin's words, he took the initiative to ask to change the name to "Yixing".

Zhao Kuangyin, who had just established the Great Song Dynasty, was overjoyed, not only retaining all of Li Yixing's original official positions but also promoting him to the rank of Tai Lieutenant.

Receiving this courtesy, Li Yixing strengthened his determination to follow the Great Song Dynasty; In the years that followed, the Li family in Xiazhou and the central government continued to exchange tribute envoys, and the relationship was harmonious.

Especially in the war against the Northern Han Dynasty initiated by the central power, the Li family in Xiazhou also took the lead; It completely changed the attitude of "watching the drama and bluffing" that the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty have always adhered to.

Both sides have entered a wonderful "honeymoon period"!

Just when the two families were happy, a person's death was like a ripple of a pebble thrown into the calm lake; The entire Northwest will be involved, and no one will be spared.

In the early morning of June 19, the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979 AD), Li Jiyun, the eighth leader of Xiazhou, died of illness at the age of 23.

Li Jiyun's death was unknown, and after Li Jiyun's death, his brother Li Jisheng was appointed as the envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty court.

Li Jiqian was very dissatisfied with his cousin Li Jisheng's heir, two years ago Li Jiqian had the idea of rebelling against the Song Dynasty, and led 100 dead soldiers to rush to the Songpan area in an attempt to expand their power in Tubo and the Dangxiang ethnic group to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, but was beaten by the officers and soldiers led by Liu Min, Lu Chengyu and Qin Feng to give birth to one Buddha and two Buddhas to ascend to heaven.

Li Jiqian was panicked like a lost dog to return to his hometown of Pingxia City, Xiazhou.

Although Li Jizhuo occupies a famous position, his strength is not good; Li Jiqian, who was already a little armed, refused to obey him at all.

Li Jisheng was unable to persuade his relatives to submit to the Song Dynasty, and was in danger of being knocked down; In order to avoid misfortune and accidents on the wall, he made an amazing move and brought his wife and children to Bianliang.

Since the secession of feudal towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it is the first time that local festivals have made a pilgrimage to meet the Son of Heaven; Considering Li Jitou's foreign identity, it is even rarer.

So much so that Song Taizong heard the news and asked several times before he dared to confirm it.

Zhao Guangyi has been comparing himself with his brother all his life, comparing culture, martial arts, popularity, knowledge, merit, and heirs.

Of course, frontier governance is also comparable. Liang your Taizu Shenwu, didn't people just sacrifice a few horses; To his Yi chieftain to obey Tianwei and his family to vote, it is really a big face.

Song Taizong summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to hold a banquet in the Jiying Hall and entertained Li Jishang's family.

The monarch sat down. Ji Zhu began to perform. No matter the words, no matter the demeanor, everything revolves around two words, that is, "touting".

Don't look at Li Jisheng's young age, but he is not young, there are more than 20; coaxed Taizong, who was already over forty years old and half a life of Rongma, full of joy.

This is almost a common problem of the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, although he looks down on barbarians on the surface and on the mouth; But they often care most about the brabarian touting.

And the party members are by no means good at stubble, Li Jisheng is a relatively honest one; Li Jiqian is a yin owl, and Li Yuanhao, who later caused the most trouble to the Song Dynasty; Even Li Zicheng, the leader of the uprising in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, was the hero of the Dangxiang clan.

Yi Di touted Song Taizong Shengming, which was better than the Han people to say a thousand sentences.

Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty can be described as the leaders of the Han emperors, but they still can't stand the praise of An Lushan and Li Jizhui.

It's a disease. Regrettably, this disease has been incurable for thousands of years.

The climax of the banquet was to present the atlas, in which he presented the geography of the mountains and rivers and the population of the five states of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing to Emperor Taizong in public.

Without spending a single soldier, he got the land where the party had been divided for a hundred years, and realized the long-cherished wish of several generations of kings from five generations to the present.

What could be more wonderful than that? This point, the heroic and decisive grandfather did not do it!

Song Taizong was happy, and rewarded thousands of platinum taels, thousands of silk horses, and millions of money; He also rewarded him with a mansion in Tokyo City to ensure that his children and grandchildren would enjoy prosperity and prosperity.

Li Jizhuan is very lacking in other talents, but he knows that money can make money; Only then did he open a business name in the most prosperous place in Tokyo - Hongyun Pawnshop.

After Song Taizong rewarded Li Jishuang with great interest, Li Jishuang talked about his little worries; That is, he had a dispute with the clansmen before he came, and perhaps someone would make trouble because of this and prevent the imperial court from accepting the land of the five states.

Song Taizong's face was a little unsightly when he heard this, he put down the wine cup and waved his hand: "Where the heavenly soldiers are coming, who dares to stop them?" ”

Li Jizhu saw that Song Taizong was so speechless, and pondered in his heart; Now that the words have been said, if something happens again, don't blame me for not reminding me.

Then again, if Li Jisheng's reminder is useful; How much less trouble should there be in that world!

Soon, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were in trouble, and it was endless trouble; Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, this trouble was still going on and even intensified.

The person who caused trouble was called Li Jiqian; If Tuoba Sigong is the founder of the party and the nation, then Li Jiqian is the founder of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Li Jiqian's family has inherited the post of defense envoy of Yinzhou for four generations, and Yinzhou and Xia Erzhou have always been the main forces in the Li family's army in Xiazhou.

So in Li Guangrui's era, Li Jiqian was already a very powerful branch within Xiazhou.

After Li Ji entered the court, Li Kewen knew Xiazhou with him; Li Jiqian was very unhappy with Li Guangrui's uncle's behavior of taking Li Jizhuan away, so he led his subordinates to live in Yinzhou.

Soon, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to "escort Li and his relatives to Que"; Jiqian learned that Li's land in the five states had been dedicated to the Song Dynasty, and he was also among the "going to Que", so Li Jiqian certainly couldn't accept it.

Li Jiqian is a very staunch "Baoxia faction", and he has always believed that Li Jitou's problem is Xiazhou's own problem; There is no need for the Central Plains court to intervene.

At the same time, Li Jiqian also keenly felt the intention of the Central Plains Imperial Court to prepare for the peaceful annexation of Xiazhou, as the direct descendant of Xiazhou's important ministers; Li Jiqian has a special affection for Xiazhou, where all his glory and dreams are entrusted.

Li Jiqian's belief is that every inch of land in Xiazhou belongs to the Li family, and whoever wants to seize it in any way must fight with him to the end.

But to fight is to fight, how to fight, there must be a practical plan; Otherwise, "stealing chickens will not make rice", not only will they not be able to drive away the soldiers of the imperial court, but they may also have to put themselves on board, so an epoch-making meeting was held.

In June of the seventh year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty (982 AD), Li Jiqian, Li Jichong, and Zhang Pu held a meeting to discuss the strategic issues of opposing the Song Dynasty and the restoration of Xia.

Li Jiqian spoke first, only to see him say with tears in his eyes: "Our old Li family has been mixed in the territory of Xiazhou for almost three hundred years, and the old and young masters control these five states and eight towns; In any case, it can be regarded as a prince who dominates one side. But now, almost all of the old Li family's clans have been dragged to Bianjing; The lives of the whole family were at the hands of others. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that our Li family will be wiped out, and the current situation is extremely critical, everyone hurry up and come up with a countermeasure, what should we do about this? ”

If you want to say that you are a brother in a war, it is absolutely reasonable, as soon as Li Jiqian's words fell, his younger brother Li Jichong next to him took a stubble: "Big brother, this tiger can't leave the mountains, the fish can't leave the sea, and the people of our Li family can't leave Xiazhou." Since his surname Zhao is too deceitful, then don't blame us for being polite. It's better to take advantage of the fact that Xiazhou has no defenses now, kill the edict envoy, and we will occupy Sui and Yinzhou and fight against the imperial court! ”

Based on these words, my friends will be able to conclude that this Li Jichong is a character with "well-developed limbs and a simple mind".

With Li Jiqian's current strength, he still wants to engage in armed secession in Yinzhou; That's just looking for death! Immediately, someone refuted his erroneous thinking.

This man's name was Zhang Pu, and he was the most powerful confidant of Li Jiqian for the Han people; Equivalent to the chief of the General Staff of later generations.

After all, literati are literati, and the angle from which they look at problems is different from that of "rectum......
