Chapter 661: Ghost Talent Analysis
Just when Li Yuanzhen was planning how to run out of the palace with Li Yongxi, disasters came one after another, first Li Yongxi's mother, Empress Xiaoxian, swore an oath, and then, the old emperor, who was already sick and weak, also read the magic wonderland of the Xishan online game in all directions.
When it turned out, the old emperor relied on his extraordinary means, and was afraid that the power of the prince's side would grow too fast and threaten him, so he limited the power of the crown prince Li Yuandan to death, and used Li Yuanqing and Li Yuankui to contain the prince. By the time the old emperor thought of erecting the authority of the crown prince, it was already too late. As soon as the old emperor died, after Li Yuandan ascended the throne, he wanted to weaken the power of Li Yuanqing and Li Yuankui, but he was too eager to cause a strong backlash.
As a result, Li Yuanqing and Li Yuankui conspired to kill Li Yuandan and killed Li Yuandan's young son. Then, Li Yuanqing and Li Yuankui fought among themselves, Li Yuanqing finally ascended the throne, and Li Yuankui ran back to Xingqing, the old nest of the party members, with the old aristocratic forces that supported him.
Li Xi was originally Li Yuandan's biggest supporter, and was originally sent by Li Yuandan to Longzhou to seek support from Tibet. On the way back to Chang'an, he heard the news of the coup d'Γ©tat in the imperial court, and simply wrapped himself in Hanzhong Li Renzhi and dominated one side.
The occurrence of all kinds of accidents is dizzying, Li Yongxi is discouraged, coupled with the pain of losing his mother and father, Li Yongxi has the idea of becoming a monk. This is actually a self-protection plan, with Li Yuanzhen's maintenance, he is finally safe and sound.
The three sides of the Western Xia were hostile to each other, and even the great drought in Guanzhong could not be stopped. Then came the news that Dajin and Daqi sent troops to Guanzhong, and the situation became even more chaotic for a while. Under such circumstances, the Liang family intended to persuade the three parties to unite and resist foreign aggression. However, the premise is that Shu can support Li Yuanqing and pass the current hurdle first, at least to keep Chang'an.
Under these circumstances, Liang Yiyue had to send an envoy to Shu. Li Yuanzhen is a royal family, but he rarely gets involved in state affairs, and after this war, he has long been extremely disappointed in the party and the royal family, and the only concern is Li Yongxi. At this time, Liang Yiyue found Li Yuanzhen and asked Li Yuanzhen to act as a guard. Li Yuanzhen's identity and superb martial arts skills can ensure that Liang Yiyue can pass through Li Xi's territory smoothly.
Li Yuanzhen agreed, on the condition that Li Yongxi be sent to Shu, after all, Chang'an was in danger. Liang Yiyue didn't care about a waste princess who was a monk, so he simply agreed.
Li Yuanzhen's plan was to settle Li Yongxi in Shu first, and then send him to Daqi by chance. Unexpectedly, in Shu Kingdom, he met Song Zheng who came to envoy, how could he not surprise Li Yongxi.
After listening to Li Yuanzhen's narration, Song Zheng felt sorry in his heart, the changes in his family and country, God knows how much psychological torture Li Yongxi has endured, no wonder she is much thinner than when she was in Dajin.
"Boy, what are you going to do?" Li Yuanzhen sat opposite Song Zheng with a golden sword, staring straight at Song Zheng with his eyes.
Song Zheng gave a deep salute, "Your kindness to Xi'er, the kid will never forget it." Please let the kid call Uncle Li. Song Zheng was really grateful in his heart, and second, he wanted to win over Li Yuanzhen. Such a master of terror must not at least become his own enemy.
Li Yuanzhen snorted lightly, "Don't play with this empty head." β
Song Zheng straightened up helplessly and said sincerely, "The kid is incompetent, causing Xi'er to suffer so much." Uncle can rest assured, since God has given me the opportunity to see Xi'er again, I will not let go of anything. And I promise that I won't let Xi'er suffer a little more grievances. β
"It's like a human word." Li Yuanzhen's color was slightly dark, and then he said, "Although you look infinitely beautiful, but the situation is not good, let me ask you, how can you ensure that what you say counts?" β
Song Zheng thought for a while, then took out a token from his arms, "Now Shu Emperor Lang Zhengchun believes in Taoism, and the Quanzhen Sect is pure and quiet, and Sun Fuji has been stranded in Qingcheng Mountain for more than a year, and is highly respected by Lang Zhengchun. This token is called the Chongyang Order, which is the pro-system of Wang Chongyang, the founding master of the Quanzhen Sect, and has supreme majesty over the disciples of the sect. I'll write a letter to Sanren first, you take my letter and this piece of Chongyang Order, send Xi'er to Qingcheng Mountain first, and I will ask her to try to bring Xi'er to Daqi. β
Li Yuanzhen took the Chongyang Order and looked back and forth, "I have also heard the name of the Chongyang Order, but I didn't expect that your kid would have a piece of Hongmeng True Ancestor to read it all." It's okay, Xi'er's name of coming to Shu this time is to learn the Tao. Qingjing Sanren is here, just to send Xi'er over, thinking that with this token, Sun Buji will definitely be able to maintain Xi'er's thoughtfulness. β
Song Zheng asked Li Yuanzhen to wait for a while, and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Li Yuanzhen along with the Chongyang Order.
Li Yuanzhen pinched it, and suddenly smiled, "Boy, is this your means to save your life?" Once things are not in harmony, with the help of the Daomen, you can also have one more way to live. β
Song Zheng pretended to scratch his head embarrassedly, "Let my uncle see through it." He secretly said in his heart that he fled from Dajin because of this Double Yang Order. Otherwise, there is really no reason to find Hao Datong.
"You have a conscience." Li Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction, "But, boy, you give this to Xi'er, in case something happens to you, can you think of a way out?" β
Song Zheng blinked, "What does Uncle know?" β
"Slippery head!" Li Yuan reprimanded, "Tell me quickly, what have you discovered, so that I can see your skills." β
Song Zheng smiled, picked up the pen, drew on the paper, and roughly drew a map of Shu. He pointed to the area to the east and said, "Shu is known as Bashan Shushui, which actually refers to two places, one is Ba and the other is Shu. In recent years, due to the good relations between Western Xia and Shu, the threat to the north of Shu was not great, so half of Shu's military strength was concentrated in Badi, especially from Gongzhou, Fuzhou, Wanzhou to Kuizhou. And most of these forces are under the control of Lang Boyan. β
Li Yuanzhen's eyes flashed with appreciation, "How do you know?" β
Song Zheng said with a smile, "I came with Lang Boyan along the way, and this is the line." Everywhere I went, I either visited places of interest or drank and wrote poems. β
Speaking of this, Song Zheng stopped and looked at Li Yuanzhen. Li Yuanzhen followed up knowingly, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink." β
The corners of Song Zheng's mouth curled, "Lang Boyan himself will never be willing to be so female." This comes from two clues, one is that something happened on the way, which makes me suspect that Lang Boyan and Jiang Kui are closely connected. Uncle knows Jiang Kui? β
"On my way to Shu, I also heard Liang Yiyue talk about this person. This person was originally a cadre under Xiao Jun, and it seems that he is still the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, but he is actually a fine work of the Shu Kingdom. And the failure of the Great Qi to attack Shu a few years ago is also related to this person. β
"Not bad!" Song Zheng nodded and said, "Jiang Kui is now the general in charge of the guards of the Shu Palace, not only in charge of intelligence, but also in charge of the internal guards of the Shu Palace. β
"Alas, it's a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the throne again." Li Yuanzhen frowned in disgust.
"I don't know, but through these old mansion newspapers, you can see. In recent years, Lang Zhengchun has been superstitious about Taoism, and he has not been very attentive in court politics. Therefore, Lang Boyan's power expanded rapidly, especially his control over the military. I have carefully compared some of the movements of Lang Boyan and the Privy Counsellor, and although they are not quite the same in small places, they are strikingly consistent in the general direction. Although I dare not assert that there is any connection between the two, if I were Zhao Yan, I would definitely support Lang Boyan, not the prince of Shu who is known for his benevolence and literary talents. β
"What do these things do?" Li Yuanzhen looked at the stack of old mansion newspapers in the house.
"It's not just that." Song Zheng said with a smile, "Although the Di newspaper will not publish some secret information or high-level secret discussions, it can always reflect some clues. If you give me more Di Bao, I can list the relationship composition chart of the officials above the fifth grade in the entire Shu Kingdom. β
Li Yuanzhen's eyes widened and he looked at Song Zheng with some incredulity.
The newspapers of later generations originated from Di Bao, but the newspapers of later generations had too many false things, and it was very difficult to analyze. However, people in this era obviously do not have a good sense of secrecy, and because of this, the amount of political information it can reflect is considerable. Of course, only Song Zheng can see these from it.
Song Zheng flipped through a newspaper and put it on the table casually, looking at Li Yuanzhen expectantly. Listening to Li Yuanzhen's words just now, I thought I was understanding some inside information that Song Zheng didn't know.
Li Yuanzhen hesitated, "Do you know the purpose of Liang Yiyue's visit this time?" β
Song Zheng chuckled, "Judging from the current situation, Shu State can't solve the problem of Western Xia with some money and materials." It must be that he wants Shu to send troops directly. But this is not easy, after all, it is necessary to face the two big countries of Daqi and Dajin, and the determination of the people of Shu is not easy. Unless ......"
Song Zheng's face suddenly changed, and he pressed the topographical map of Shu that he had just drawn with one hand, and fell silent.
"Did you think of something?" Li Yuanzhen looked at Song Zheng playfully.
"You told me to think about it." Song Zheng stood up again, pacing back and forth in the room, whispering several names such as Liang Yiyue, Bo Chuan, Lang Boyan, An Guan, and Zhao Yan back and forth.
After about a cup of tea, Song Zheng said, "If Western Xia is against the two countries of Jin and Qi, it is impossible, even if the Shu State is added, it will not be able to defeat the two countries of Jin and Qi on the frontal battlefield." Therefore, the only way to make peace with the Jin State is to concentrate all forces on the Great Qi. Li Yuankui can't be counted on in the north, and the rest, Li Yuanqing, Li Xi and Shu Guo, should be able to stop it...... It doesn't seem right, how to make Shu inevitably send troops? β
Song Zheng scratched his head again.
Li Yuanzhen opened his mouth and did not speak. Although he was not interested in the Western Xia royal family, Song Zheng was now an envoy of the Great Qi, and he had no reason to help the Great Qi people deal with his own people.
Song Zheng went back and forth a few times, and suddenly said, "Li Yuanqing is still nominally orthodox in Western Xia, and Li Yuankui is not called emperor now, but only known as regent." Although Li Xi respected Li Renzhi, he also did not claim the title of emperor in the name of avenging Li Yuandan. Therefore, Liang Yiyue can use this to play the game of empty gloves and white wolves, if he can take Hanzhong out, the power of Zhao Yan's side on the side of Shu will be greatly ......"
Speaking of this, Song Zheng said with a smile, "Whether Lang Boyan will take advantage of the trend depends on the past two days." If I were Lang Boyan, I would definitely be able to write in the next two days and raise troops to aid Xia. β
