Chapter 140: The Pillars of the Three Kingdoms Killing are demolished
The chaos has only just begun, but this is the bane that was planted more than a decade ago. The conversation between King Shu and King Pu reached the ears of King Richard of Jin that night, this Western Xia god of war has a big bad habit, that is, suspicious and suspicious, and his princess was secretly executed because of this.
"What are King Shu and King Pu going to do?" The first reaction of King Richard of Jin was that these two bastards were ready to usurp the throne, and in this case, he wanted to transfer troops into Xingqing Mansion to escort King Qin.
Without a holy decree, he transferred troops into Beijing without authorization, and regarded it as an accomplice, and Brother Richard, the king of Jin, who had been in charge of military power for many years, would not make such a low-level mistake, and this guy still decided to enter the palace like the emperor to ask for a decree.
Recently, the most pressure is on the emperor Li Qianshun, he has a feeling of being hollowed out, financially controlled by Pu Wang Li Renzhong, diplomacy, the court situation has been controlled by Li Renli, the king of Shu, as for the army is the Jin King Li Chage, the palace is the queen Yelu Nanxian in the control, to put it bluntly, the emperor is only the nominal monarch, but it is really stretched to do things, and he is very embarrassed.
What makes Li Qianshun's nest fire the most is that there is a fire in the backyard, since he got married, he rarely goes to the queen's bedroom, as if he is afraid of this woman, and every time he meets, he has great psychological pressure in his heart. The more afraid people are, the more frightened the wolves become, as if Queen Yelu Nanxian pinched her husband's weakness, and has been looking at the entire palace very strongly, even the entire imperial city, the entire Xingqing Mansion, and the entire Western Xia.
Li Qianshun didn't know how long he hadn't entered the queen's bedroom, but he knew the queen's every move, especially after Xiao Zixuan came, he was even more familiar. But none of this is a problem, but he Pu Wang Li Renzhong and Jin King Li Chage took turns to meet the queen, which made him very unhappy.
The eunuch Zhu Lai kept his head down, he didn't know what to say, when he saw the emperor walking around, he knew that it was not easy to survive today, but in this case, I don't know how many times it happened, what can I do?
"Are you sure that King Jin has gone to meet the queen mother?" Li Qianshun finally spoke, King Pu's visit to the queen is a well-known thing in the entire Xingqing Mansion, and it is not a secret, but Brother Li Cha, the king of Jin, is his own brother, and it is obviously not a good thing to hide from himself to meet his sister-in-law in private.
"The slave saw it with his own eyes, and after going in for more than an hour, all the people were separated, only the queen mother, the king of Jin, and that Xiao Zixuan, as for the content of the conversation, the slave didn't know." Zhu Lai didn't bother to answer, no matter what important ministers the queen saw, she would keep the palace maids and eunuchs away, so how could she let herself hear the conversation?
"Okay, you go down, pay attention to the surveillance, and report the news immediately."
Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, was not unhappy, but very unhappy, his sister-in-law had a private meeting with his brother-in-law, and afterwards, the damn Brother Richard didn't come to report himself, it was too lawless.
Whoever meets the queen privately, Li Qianshun can bear it, but he can't stand his own brother Brother Richard, for this Western Xia emperor who is unable to conquer the queen, has extreme inferiority complex in his heart, and is suspicious, the queen is a disease in his heart, and it has never changed for more than ten years.
Li Qianshun, who really couldn't bear this kind of torture, still decided to summon Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, hoping that this guy would help him find out what the King of Jin had to do with the queen in private.
Although Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, has always met the queen Yelu Nanxian, Li Qianshun has never doubted this 'half-wasted man' who has no power to conquer women, he knows that this guy is not as good as himself in this regard, and deep down in his heart, he only has the idea of fighting for power in addition to inferiority, and has never conquered a woman's heart, nor does he have that strength.
When Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, heard that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him, he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he did not enter the palace immediately, but called the strategist Xu Jiu, who was very scheming and believed in this resourceful Han man.
After listening to the description of Pu Wang Li Renzhong, Xu Jiu pondered for a long time before he said: "Lord Wang, the situation is becoming more and more chaotic now, like a mess, cutting constantly, and sorting out chaos. Now that you get the situation, what you have to do is to fish in troubled waters, don't rush to do anything, just wait for your uncle to arrive. As for meeting the emperor, you only need to dismantle the pillars in front of him and demonstrate it once, and you can talk about it briefly. ”
"Dongliang demolition, what is it, just rely on this to be able to convince Your Majesty?" Pu Li Renzhong has an understanding of Han culture, but he doesn't have a deep understanding, after all, he relies on the queen Yelu Nanxian, and he has more of an in-depth understanding of the Liao Kingdom.
"What is the demolition of pillars, simply put, is the demolition of pillars. is a simple little game. Take bamboo chopsticks as an example, find some bamboo chopsticks and make one of them (we call it a pillar) stand upright on the ground. The rest of the bamboo chopsticks are towered into a frame by relying on the "pillars". After the frame tower is completed, the "pillars" in the middle will be removed, and the entire frame will not overturn, I will show you the prince, and you will see it at a glance. ”
Xu Jiu seemed to be prepared, he took out a handful of bamboo chopsticks and sprinkled them on the table in front of Pu Wang Li Renzhong, and then unhurriedly pulled the bamboo chopsticks from the inside outward.
After the 'pillars' fell to the ground, Xu Jiu said: "Now for you, the prince, His Majesty the Emperor is this 'pillar', if this 'pillar' falls, the situation will be out of control, only after the King of Jin, King Shu, the queen, and the prince are eradicated one by one, you can transfer this 'pillar', otherwise the situation will get out of control." ”
"Okay, this king knows, you go down."
For a long time, this resourceful strategist didn't see the murderous intent flashing in the eyes of Pu King Li Renzhong, maybe this is the reason why he is destined to be just a strategist.
After pondering for a while, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, entered the palace to meet Emperor Li Qianshun.
At this moment, Li Qianshun did not have the previous anxiety, and he calmed down a little in the depths of his heart, he asked some nonsense that was not nutritious at the beginning, but after the words, he gradually pulled it on the queen, but the words were more rigorous.
Pu Wang Li Renzhong quickly understood what was going on, but he didn't intend to expose the other party, he was just pretending to be confused.
Seeing that the other party was not on the road, Li Qianshun, who lost his patience, said: "King Pu, you have always had a good personal relationship with the queen, may I ask Brother Richard to visit the queen in private two days ago, do you know?" ”
"I don't know." Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, really didn't know, because he didn't want to spy on the queen Yelu Nanxian, and of course he didn't dare to monitor it, and it wouldn't be useful to monitor the queen, on the contrary, there were more mutual suspicions.
"King Jin has always been in control of the army, even if there is something, it should be an important military and political matter, and it should be reported to me, what does it mean to meet the queen?" Li Qianshun finally expressed his inner dissatisfaction, not only because he was afraid of what would happen between the man and woman, but most importantly, because it involved military power, which was what he was most worried about. Now that the crown prince is still young, once something happens, then the probability of King Richard of Jin succeeding to the throne is very high, which is a thorn in the heart of this Western Xia emperor.
Sure enough, Xu Jiu really guessed correctly, but at this time, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, knew that it was not appropriate for him to say anything, so he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, please let Rong Chen play you a small game of Han people 'Dongliang Demolition', maybe you will understand what's going on." ”
"Demolition of Pillars"
"Yes, it's the demolition of the pillars."
Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, while playing the demolition of the pillars, analyzed the current situation in Western Xia, although he did not say it explicitly, but he was also alluding to the moral of this.
The battle between the three kings did not affect the operation of the entire Western Xia dynasty, but once the 'pillars' fell, then the entire framework fell.
The crown prince still exists, the queen is restless and self-conscious, obsessed with imperial power, and the three kings are fighting, in this situation, Li Qianshun can think of what situation Western Xia will enter if he falls. After the former dynasty and the Great Liang took power, he had witnessed and experienced the destructive power of Western Xia.
Could it be that the Western Xia will repeat the mistakes of the past, and the tragedy of history will be repeated? It has only been more than 20 years since the Liao State poisoned the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and this scene has been in the heart of Chongzong Li Qianshun, although the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is autocratic, but after all, she is the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, how can the Liao State be rude to poison it?
What are the consequences if you die yourself. None of the emperors of Western Xia lived long, which made Li Qianshun very uneasy in his heart, he could imagine what kind of situation would happen in Western Xia once he died, after the Jin King Richard and Empress Yelu Nanxian joined forces, this younger brother would even step on his own corpse, kill his son, and do that thing on his own dragon bed.
What to do? Non-toxic is not a husband, and the amount is small and not a gentleman. Li Qianshun decided to pull out this thorn in his heart, and he said hatefully: "I have given you a secret decree, from now on, you are responsible for commanding the Iron Harrier and all the soldiers and horses in the Xingqing Mansion, and is responsible for guarding the safety of the palace." In addition, once the king of Jin, Richard, plotted against him, or I died bizarrely, you must protect the crown prince from the throne, you must be loyal to the prince, be the regent with peace of mind, and remember not to disadvantage the prince. ”
The reason why Li Qianshun handed over such an important matter to Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, was because this guy had no son. In this concept of the Western Xia emperor, a man has no son, that is, no heir, at most he is greedy for power, but he will never usurp the throne. And Li Renli, the king of Shu, and Li Chage, the king of Jin, are different, so Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, is the safest.
"Chen Cheng is scared."
"You swear allegiance to the Prince."
The people of the Western Xia Party were extremely confident in the oath, believing that as long as the oath was made, it would not be violated, and once the oath was violated, there would be retribution.
"I, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, swear in front of the saint that I will always be loyal to the crown prince, never abandon me, never betray, and if I violate my oath, I will be tortured by ten thousand arrows piercing my heart to death."
Only then did Li Qianshun rest assured that the safety of the capital would be handed over to Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, and this could be regarded as a real peace of mind.
Everything that happened here had already been secretly reported by the eunuch to the queen Yelu Nanxian.
Queen Yelu Nanxian was bathing, and when she heard the news, she was so angry that she came out of the bath directly, and she didn't care about getting dressed, so she walked around the room like this, not caring about walking away at all, after all, there were only eunuchs around, and it didn't make much sense to go naked or not.
What did Pu Wang Li Renzhong want to do, was he ambitious, or betrayed the mourning family to join the emperor, at this time, Queen Yelu Nanxian felt that the situation was a little chaotic, maybe it was really the 'pillar demolition' This stunning beauty actually played the pillar demolition, while playing, while analyzing the current situation.
Although he was in alliance with Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, Yelu Nanxian also knew that he had not seen through the other party at all, and this man who seemed to be calm was actually extremely powerful. It's definitely not as simple as it seems, but what does this guy want to do?
has no son, only one daughter is married to the Han Chinese, what does this King Pu want to do? Queen Yelu Nanxian felt the need to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and shock the king of Pu, Li Renzhong, this guy in the province stabbed himself at a critical moment.
has no son, no capital to conquer women, this seems to have become the shield of Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, which is also one of the most important reasons why Queen Yelu Nanxian is willing to cooperate with him.
Li Qianshun's oath to Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, was very important, and he motioned for the other party to follow him into the secret room.
In the secret room, Li Qianshun said: "Anything that happens in the palace can't be hidden from the queen, including the oath I just made, the queen must know, you have to think about how to get by." You must let the queen continue to trust you in the future, otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive, you should have this ability to protect yourself, don't teach you. ”
"Your Majesty, you mean to let me continue to cooperate with the Empress He to deceive each other."
"That's what it means, you can take the initiative to tell the queen the content of our conversation, of course, military power cannot be handed over to the other party. You must know that it has only been long since the Liao State poisoned the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, I don't want to be poisoned, you better live well. ”
"I understand." Pu King Li Renzhong is indeed a little afraid of Queen Yelu Nanxian deep down, of course, the main thing is to fear the Liao State behind this woman.
In order to win over Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, Li Qianshun said bitterly: "After all, we are all members of the Western Xia Party and the imperial family, and only by ensuring that the imperial power does not fall, our wealth will last forever." Empress Yelu Nanxian is a Khitan from Liao, and the Khitan has always been eyeing my Western Xia, you should know this very well, we must remember not to fight inwardly. The demolition of the pillars has a good meaning, and I believe you should understand the truth. ”
"I understand."
Pu Wang Li Renzhong returned to the mansion very late, he knew that the demolition of the pillars meant that the situation in the Western Xia was more chaotic, before the outside affairs were dealt with, once the pillars were demolished, the entire situation in the Western Xia collapsed, it seems that things are much more complicated than he imagined, and a wrong move is a full game.
Now where is that cheap son-in-law who has fallen to the ground, does he have the ability to help him turn the tide? At this moment, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, was both eager for Liu Zhenglong to appear, but also doubtful about this guy's ability.
