Chapter 144: Friend and Foe Divide Themselves

The people below looked at each other, what did Li Changzuo mean by this? I don't seem to understand.

Li Changzuo said: "The jade seal and tiger talisman are already in my hands. However, I, Li, think that my virtue is thin and shallow, it is difficult to sit on the dragon throne, and the emperor or something is not suitable for me. Since ancient times, Daxia and the Central Plains have the same root and origin, sharing weal and woe, and it is also a last resort to break away from the Central Plains in the past years. Now the Great Song Dynasty is strong in the southeast and west, and it is majestic; The rising star of the Jin Kingdom also forcibly occupied the east, leaving us only with the barren desert in the north, and the limited fertile soil in the territory, the people were already living in poverty; The most important thing is that Li Qianshun indulges in the harem, is mediocre and incompetent, and does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, so that the national strength is declining. What else do we have to compete with Song Jin? ”

As soon as Li Changzuo said this, the people below were all shocked. Is he not sitting on the dragon throne, and he wants to give the ancestors' country to the Great Song Dynasty? What did he think? Does he still have a little bit of politeness and shame? How can he be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors?

"Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, I Li Changzuo has served the Song Dynasty, and now half of the territory of Daxia is in my hands, the jade seal of the country, the marching tiger talisman, all for me to obtain, although Li Qianshun temporarily survived, but the death period is not far away. Li's words have been made very clear, those who are willing to stay, stand on the left, and those who are unwilling to stay and want to leave, it doesn't matter, stand on the right, and I will give you a coil. If you still want to be at odds with me, don't move! Li Changzuo continued.

An old man of the Great Xia royal clan trembled bitterly and said, "Changyou, are you really not looking back? More than 100 years of foundation in Great Xia, can you really destroy it with your own hands? In the future, after you are a hundred years old, how will you explain to your ancestors? ”

This person used to take good care of Li Changzuo, so Li Changzuo saluted him respectfully and politely, saying:

"The people of my generation distinguish success and failure, and history has its own posterity. You say that I have destroyed my home, but I say that you are self-contained, frogs at the bottom of the well! Returning to the Great Song Dynasty is not a shameful thing, it's just that people who have been displaced go home to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Hurry up and stand in line, don't waste time, I still have a lot of military and political affairs to deal with! ”

Although this multiple-choice question is a send-off question, it is very painful because it is also a send-off proposition.

chose to live on Li Changzuo's side today, and Li Qianshun will come back tomorrow to be his own death; Those who choose to fight to the end today have already regarded death as home, but in fact, half of their lives have been lost; As for those who intend to remain neutral and are ready to be the grass on the wall, even if Li Changzuo fulfills his promise to let them go, he will not let them go until Li Qianshun is over, otherwise he will let the tiger return to the mountain and leave behind trouble. Of course, it is also possible to let them go today and die on the way.

"Is it hard to choose? Is the will so unstrong? Li Changzuo only took out the killing stick and said, "If I make dozens of noises and stay where I am, I will acquiesce that you are going to fight me Li to the end!" 10, 9, 8...... Three ......"

By the time they had reached three, the prisoners were already standing in line to the left and right, and many of them had swollen heads because they were so impatient.

"II...... One! Very good! Li Changzuo gritted his teeth and counted, and the result was quite satisfactory.

Three-fifths of them followed on the left, and many of the relatives of the Great Xia Emperor chose to stand on the left, because they still hoped that Li Changzuo would remember the old feelings, and even if Li Qianshun called back, there was still a great hope that he would be alive. More than one-fifth of those on the right side of the station plan to go home for retirement. The rest are the people who are ready to go to the Netherworld to continue their allegiance to Li Qianshun.

Li Changzuo sneered and looked at the people who were stumbling to the end with him, and said, "Very good, if you toast and don't eat and drink, I will fulfill you!" Come on, pull them down, and wait on death row! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers rubbed their hands and pulled the spoils away.

Li Changzuo said to the person standing on the right: "You choose to stand by and watch, and I will not stop you." The avenue leads to the sky, each on its own. It's just that now Li Qianshun's life and death are unknown, so he has to wronged everyone to eat a big pot of rice for a period of time! ”

The man on the right had already thought about all the results in his heart, and let the soldiers take everyone away. It is better to have food in prison than to die.

Li Changzuo finally looked at the people on the left with a smile and said, "Welcome, reunite with the broken mirror, and become friends and relatives with me Li Changzuo!" Ha ha! ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Lord Li is like a bright sun, and the light is naturally yearning!" "And what to say is like having another parent, the flattery is simply goosebumps.

Li Changzuo kept in mind these people who like to be one before and one after others, and who like to flatter, and their end is that it is good to have a bite to eat. As for those who don't speak much, they may be able to use it.

At this time, the soldier came to report: "General, the marshal is back!" ”

"Oh! Hurry up and greet it! ”

As soon as Li Changzuo finished speaking, Qu Ping rode in with dozens of generals on horseback.

On weekdays, there are probably no people who dare to take big strides in front of this hall, but today people are riding horses to and fro, and the world is too far apart.

Qu Ping looked at the people standing in the row, had a conjecture in his heart, and asked, "What is Ningxia Hou doing?" ”

Li Changzuo said briefly and said: "These are the people who are used, and there are some who don't plan to follow us, and I will let them go in the future, and there are a few who want to die, I plan to fulfill them." ”

Qu Ping dissuaded: "They are all captives, how can they be killed indiscriminately?" If the Great Song Dynasty doesn't kill and surrender prisoners, how can it mess up the rules? ”

Li Changzuo felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "If we don't kill him today, they will become a stumbling block for us in the future." ”

Qu Ping said: "Lock them up first, their life and death should have the emperor's fate." ”

"Yes." Li Changzuo said reluctantly.

Qu Ping persuaded with good words: "Brother Li, I have always regarded you as a brother, so I persuaded you with good words, don't be blinded by hatred and emotions." Those who do great things should have an open mind and a long-term vision. A grain of sand may sting your eyes, but if you put it in the right place, it might shine and turn waste into treasure. ”

Li Changzuo said: "I know, then lock them up first." Li Changzuo said this, but he was actually a little unhappy in his heart.

Qu Ping patted Li Changzuo on the shoulder and said, "Yes! Li Qianshun is dead, I believe this news will make you happier! "The fire is out

"Really?" Li Changzuo's eyes lit up, "Great, haha!" Li Qianshun! It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes! ”

When the people in the square who had just turned from prisoners into disciples of the Great Song Dynasty heard the news of Li Qianshun's death, their hearts were shaken. Unexpectedly, Li Qianshun had nothing to do but go hunting, and turned himself into someone else's prey. A dynasty, and that's it.

Regardless of whether they were sad or worried, Qu Ping asked someone to take them down to settle down first.

"What? Li Qianshun is not dead? In the main hall, Li Changzuo was surprised after listening to Qu Ping's explanation.

Qu Ping said: "That's right, I deliberately said that he was dead in front of those people!" ”

It turned out that Qu Ping led the team to chase Li Qianshun, Li Qianshun was broken into pieces at a critical moment, and the targets were scattered, and in the end Qu Ping and they only caught more than 30 people, but the most important Li Qianshun let him escape.

Li Changzuo was scratching in his heart, and asked: "Li Qianshun ran away, what should I do now?" ”

Qu Ping said: "Don't worry, listen to me." When the truth is false, it is also true, and when it is false, it is also false, we might as well confuse the truth with the false, and resolutely let out the wind to the outside, so as to say that Li Qianshun has died. Then the crowd will be gold, and the white will be said to be black! ”

"What if it's really Li Qianshun who comes out?"

"Just say it's fake! Li Qianshun fled to the east, and would only go to the Xia army's defense line in the east, in order to fight back from the east mountain. You have the jade seal of the country and the tiger talisman of the army, and we will control the existing situation first. Then join forces in one place, and fight back and forth with Wu Jue's troops, not afraid that he will not be defeated! ”

"How?"

"Don't be in a hurry to cancel Western Xia first, and wait until Li Qianshun is really pacified. You take the jade seal first, and the next decree is to say that Li Qianshun is good or bad, and you are the head of the country, and you are willing to risk the world's condemnation and abolish the crime Li Qianshun for the sake of the safety and livelihood of the people in the world. Li Qianshun committed suicide in fear of sin, and then gave him the nickname of Emperor Xia Abolished. ”

Li Changzuo listened and took the notes. Then he began to draft the decree, and after writing it for a while, he threw his pen and exclaimed, "Oh, it's too hard to write, it's not my forte!" ”

Qu Ping smiled: "Then find someone with great clerical skills!" Hey, where is the prime minister Chen Tai? ”

"What do you tell him to do, he was beaten by me, and now he is lying in prison, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to turn over."

Qu Ping secretly said that it was bad, and he forgot to explain that Li Changzuo and Chen Tai were his own people.

Qu Ping said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Invite him over! ”

Half an hour later, in the main hall, Qu Ping, Li Changzuo and Chen Tai were all sitting together, slightly embarrassed.

Qu Ping cleared his throat and said, "I blame you for this." ”

Li Changzuo said: "It turns out that you planned all this......

Chen Tai said: "Actually, it can't all be thanks to Yongguo Gong, Li Qianshun has actually been on guard against you for a long time, and his merits are high." ”

"Shut up!" Li Changzuo said, "As a courtier, as a prime minister, you should play a role in reconciliation and make the monarch and the minister harmonious, this is what you should do." ”

"Do you regret it now?" Qu Ping threw out a fixed question.

“…… That's it, a slap doesn't make a sound, and it's useless to regret it now. Li Changzuo replied dryly.

Qu Ping said calmly: "No, you can welcome back Li Qianshun and continue to be his Western Xia Emperor, and then we will fight in the open." ”

Chen Tai looked at the two of them left and right, and said in his heart that it was better for me not to speak.

Li Changzuo sighed and said, "The rice has been cooked, why don't you have a cup together!" ”

"There's another way. You are the emperor of Western Xia, but you must ensure that Song and Xia are good friends and swear to be like brothers. Qu Ping said.

The temptation is just too great.

Li Changzuo was silent for a long time and said, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Chen Taixin said what I have worked so hard for all the way, in the end, I still make wedding clothes for others. Isn't it good to be my prime minister of Western Xia honestly, this time Western Xia is still Western Xia, and I, the prime minister, may not be the prime minister. Originally, one person was below 10,000 people, but if you go back to the Great Song Dynasty, you don't know how much you will be downgraded!

Qu Ping said: "Of course, as long as you can sit firmly in this position, do a good job as this emperor!" The Western Xia was handed over to the Western Xia people, and it was the most stable at present. Now that the turmoil in Western Xia is still uninterrupted, and the smoke is in full swing, you can only stabilize the current situation by squeezing out Li Qianshun and becoming the emperor. This is also an expedient measure, if Li Qianshun was not allowed to run away at that time, then it would be two words. ”
