The night in Western Xia is cold, even if it is spring, but the wind still blows chills people's bone marrow.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance alarmed the soldiers defending the city, and someone at the head of the city shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Several horsemen came from afar, and shouted close and forward: "Urgent news." ”

The head of the city lowered the hanging basket, and then pulled a sergeant up.

"What emergency military intelligence?"

The sergeant had a knife around his neck, he shuddered for a moment, and said, "The Battle of Song Liao is over. ”

"What?"

"Hurry up and send him to the palace!"

The sound of horses' hooves immediately broke through the silence of Xingqing Mansion until it reached the front of the palace.

"Who?"

"News that Your Majesty wants!"

Immediately, the news went all the way in.

Li Liangzuo, who was sleeping, was awakened.

"What?"

"Your Majesty, there is news of the Song-Liao War."

Li Liangzuo woke up in an instant, he lifted the woman who got up and shouted, "I want to go out!" ”

The door opened, and a maid came in to dress him, and then went out with him.

The sergeant was at the bottom of the steps, and the surrounding area was illuminated by lanterns as if it was daylight, and Li Liangzuo asked coldly, "The Liao people have won?" ”

The sergeant raised his head, "Your Majesty, Song Liao fought in Tang County, Yelu Hongji personally led the elite army to charge, and the Song army ......"

Li Liangzuo closed his eyes, and countless golden iron horses seemed to appear in front of him.

"The Song army blocked the onslaught of the Liao army......"

Li Liangzuo's body shook a little, and he touched his shoulder, where he had been shot by Song Jun's crossbow arrows last time.

"The Song army then launched a counterattack, and the Liao army was defeated and retreated......"

The Liao army retreated all the way to the camp and then withdrew...... I didn't even trim it, so I can see that I was scared of it......"

"Your Majesty!"

Li Liangzuo's body was shaking, and he muttered, "Who is leading the army?" ”

"Fu Bi, but someone saw that it was Shen An who was commanding......"

Li Liangzuo looked up at the night sky and suddenly laughed.

"The Song people have won, and they will keep an eye on the northwest next...... Northwest...... The family business passed down from the ancestors...... I...... I ......"

He slowly retreated, the attendants looked at him in amazement, and someone shouted, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Liangzuo looked at the night sky and felt a little churning in his chest and abdomen, and then a feeling of dizziness hit.

"Your Majesty......"

Li Liangzuo fell to the ground with a bang.

There was chaos in the palace.

Queen Liang was lying on the bed, this bed had not been a man for a long time, but she had long been used to it.

"Mother."

A voice came from outside, and Empress Liang opened her eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty is ill."

"Huh?"

Empress Liang closed her eyes again, letting that comfortable lethargy strike again.

After a few breaths, she commanded, "I'm going to see." ”

She got dressed and went all the way to Li Liangzuo's side.

At this moment, the hall was full of people, Empress Liang looked at it indifferently, and asked, "How is Your Majesty?" ”

An attendant shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is still in a coma." ”

"Speak clearly!"

Empress Liang's eyes were more fierce, and her fists were clenched in her sleeves.

The chamberlain said in a little panic, "Your Majesty heard that the Song people had won, so he fell to the ground and vomited blood...... Then he fell unconscious. ”

"Song people won?"

Empress Liang subconsciously thought of Shen An, and then asked, "How did you win?" ”

The chamberlain shook his head, "It was said that the two armies were facing each other, and the Liao army failed to charge the battle, and the Song army defeated them." ”

Empress Liang let go of her fist and stood there quietly.

Later, Lang Zhong came out and saw that Queen Liang was there, so he came over and whispered: "Niangniang......"

Empress Liang's indifferent face became more restless, and she asked, "How is Your Majesty?" ”

Lang Zhong shook his head slightly, "The old injury has recurred......

The last time Li Liangzuo was shot in the shoulder by a crossbow arrow from Song Jun, he didn't do very well, intermittently. But no one cares.

But at this moment, it actually happened?

Empress Liang said in a low voice: "Shoulder hair is nothing. ”

Anyone with a broken hand can live!

Lang Zhong shook his head, "Your Majesty is still angry...... I fell to the back of my head......"

Empress Liang nodded.

The news of Li Liangzuo's illness and the news of the victory of the Song army were passed in Xingqing Mansion together, and some people said that Li Liangzuo was angry and didn't care about it.

On the fourth day, news came from the palace.

"Your Majesty is no good."

On the bed in the hall, Li Liangzuo was lying with a pale face and his eyes closed.

Queen Liang's eyes were bloodshot, and she hadn't rested since last night. She stared at Lang Zhong and asked, "What happened to Your Majesty?" ”

Lang Zhong got up and looked at the courtiers who rushed to hear the news, "Your Majesty ......", and then lowered his head, "Half a day at most." ”

Everybody gets it.

"Your Majesty!"

A military general suddenly began to cry, and Empress Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty is not dead, why are you crying?" ”

"Your Majesty has woken up."

When Empress Liang turned around, she saw a ruddy Li Liangzuo, as if she had never been sick.

She remembered a book she had read at home when she was not married, and it contained a record of this knowledge.

- Before dying, someone will suddenly look like an ordinary person, with a ruddy face, but then disappear......

This is called a flashback.

She walked over happily, "Your Majesty, have you woken up?" Come on, go and tell those people outside, just say that Your Majesty has woken up, and Xixia is still stable! ”

Li Liangzuo originally looked at her with more murderous intent in his eyes, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but think a lot when he saw that she was happy like a little girl.

I met you at my cousin's house that year......

You're still thinking about me after all!

He looked at his courtiers and said, "If the Song people win, we will have a lot of trouble in the future, and the Song people will regard us as a threat, and if we don't get rid of us, the Song people will not be able to focus on the north...... So ......"

He felt that he was better, but suddenly a sense of powerlessness hit him. He felt as if something had been taken out of his body, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Wrong......

He looked at Empress Liang with pleading in his eyes.

Empress Liang walked over and sat down, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with you? ”

Li Liangzuo held her hand, felt the warmth, and at the same time felt what he was passing by.

That's life!

He opened his mouth and said hurriedly, "Liang's ...... Can...... Can ......"

As soon as his hand loosened, with regret in his eyes, he went.

Queen Liang sat there, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty!"

After Lang Zhong confirmed that Li Liangzuo had died, the courtiers knelt down and cried.

An attendant shouted: "Your Majesty said just now, the mother can hang the curtain." ”

Everyone looked up, and some people had more unwilling colors in their eyes.

There are too many examples of draped curtains, the Liao State has the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Great Song Dynasty has Liu E......

The queen mother who hangs the curtain is all in power, and the existence of the young emperor and the ministers.

Look at the Liang family, but he is only in his early twenties, but he is about to listen to the government, and he will become the master of Western Xia from then on.

Who willingly?

Some people have more cunning in their eyes, and after crying later, they go to comfort Queen Liang.

"Niangniang doesn't need to worry, but wherever there is a sending, just find a minister......"

It was a civil official who spoke, and he looked square.

Empress Liang thought of what Shen An had said to herself in Qingjian City at this moment.

- Be decisive!

Now is the time to be decisive.

The person in front of him can't hide her thoughts, he just wants to be her guest in the curtain, not only to win people, but also to gain power.

"I see."

You can't hesitate, you have to be decisive.

If you hesitate, you will be seen as weak.

Empress Liang saw the color of joy, she smiled disdainfully in her heart, and then walked out of the hall.

The sun is shining outside, which is very different from the darkness inside.

The man was right!

I'm just giving them a smile and making them happy, and that's what I need right now.

- There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

That Shen An's words are always so thought-provoking!

Empress Liang couldn't help but look at the sky with her hands in her hands, but she remembered the days in Qingjian City in her mind.

The man was cunning, and she couldn't trap him at all.

But the man was so clever that he was frightening.

He could see through all the changes between the Great Song and Western Xia, as well as the Liao State, at a glance.

He knew all the details of Western Xia.

He even dared to teach himself how to fight.

For example, or before, she used Shen An's method to temporarily appease those courtiers.

If it had been in the past, she would have been furious on the spot and have the civil servant taken down.

But what about after you take it?

After taking it, everyone will be uneasy, and then they will huddle against her.

I get it.

We must use interests to distinguish and divide our courtiers!

Empress Liang looked at the south, turned around and walked in, and said, "Your Majesty has gone, but Western Xia can't be messed up!" ”

Everyone looked at her, and most of them had a different color in their eyes.

Western Xia was originally a loose alliance, which was forcibly kneaded together by the Li family, but the military power was scattered in the hands of those courtiers, and the tribe still existed.

So there is no such thing as loyalty, the only thing that exists is profit.

Now that Queen Liang wants to hang the curtain, what about everyone's interests?

Empress Liang saw what they meant, and couldn't help but praise Shen An again, and then said: "Although Your Majesty is gone, the feelings of the monarch and the ministers cannot be ignored, and the aftermath of Your Majesty is dealt with...... I will share many relics left by His Majesty with everyone. ”

There is no royal affection!

There are just no benefits!

And the so-called relics can only be money.

So those people were satisfied.

Empress Liang saw those satisfactions, and couldn't help but praise them in her heart.

Shen An is really smart!

This was followed by the sending of messengers to various countries.

Then, five-year-old Li Bingchang sat in the palace, while Empress Liang sat behind the curtain, suppressing her excitement and began to manipulate this Western Xia.

……

Zuo Zhen is still frying quails in her shop.

The king went quietly, and no one knew what he was doing.

When the wedding date was agreed, the merchants said that they would come to help, but Zuo Zhen said that it had been rescheduled.

Some people were jealous that she could marry Wang Yan in her second marriage, so they said a lot of gossip.

"Most of the Wang family regretted it."

"Well, I don't think I can regret it."

Zuo Zhen listened to these gossip, her business was still good, and the biggest pleasure every day was counting money.

Twilight is coming.

In the twilight of spring, those men take their wives and children to go to spring, especially in the area of Jinmingchi.

"Zuo Zhen, where is your Wang Langjun? Why didn't he come and take you to the spring? ”

A woman asked outside the store.

Zuo Zhen looked up, "He's doing something." ”

The woman smiled: "He has no official status, and now he is not in the academy, what can he do?" I'm afraid not...... Ay! How pitiful! ”

Zuo Zhen smiled, she didn't like to talk to such a woman.

Where is he?

She remembered Wang Yan.

There was the sound of footsteps, and the woman who was chattering freely was pushed to the side and almost fell.

"You're a ...... you're looking for death"

The woman stood firm, looked back at the troubles of the perpetrator, but froze.

The dusty Wang Yan stood outside the store, and Zuo Zhen stood inside the store.

Two young men and women are looking at each other......

"So-and-so is back."

"Okay."

"I made a meritorious service this time."

The woman wanted to shout, but quietly retreated.

Shen An's meritorious service can break other people's legs, what about this Wang Yan?

The corners of Wang Yan's mouth curled slightly, "I haven't gone home yet......"

This is where he came when he returned to the capital!

Zuo Zhen raised her head slightly, and joy gradually rose......
