The party is in a split time, and it is also the best time to destroy them, but unfortunately Liu E does not agree, Li Zhang also understands this, after all, the Great Song Dynasty has been tossed by Zhao Heng for so many years, and the treasury has long been empty, although Liu E has been letting the people recuperate after taking power, but the time is still too short, even if Liu E is willing to pay a great price to send troops, I am afraid that those ministers in the court are not willing, not to mention that Liu E, as a woman, still has some instinctive rejection of such things as fighting.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help sighing, and then comforted himself not to be too greedy, after all, now the party has been greatly damaged by his own vitality, and it is divided into two parts, even if Li Yuanhao can unify the party again in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to establish Western Xia at that time, and he is still young now, so he has time to play slowly with the party item.

"Big Lady, when the party was powerful in the past, I didn't care much about our canonization, Li Deming even called himself the king of Xixia within the party, and even made Li Yuanhao the crown prince, his heart for being the emperor has been revealed, why are you scrambling for our canonization now?" I saw Li Zhang pondering for a moment at this time, and finally suddenly asked Liu E with a smile.

"Isn't this obvious, Li Yuanhao and Li Chengyu can't tell the winner for the time being, so if one of them gets the canonization of our Great Song Dynasty, then nominally speaking, it is equivalent to our Great Song Dynasty acknowledging that he inherited Li Deming's position, which will also directly affect his prestige and status in the party." Liu E glanced at Li Zhang at this time and said.

"That's right, Li Yuanhao and Li Chengyu are fighting in the same name, and I just said that no matter which of them wins in the future, it is impossible to sincerely surrender to our Great Song, so I think the best way is to support the weaker one, so as to enhance his influence, so that they can fight longer, and the more party members die, the more beneficial it will be to our Great Song!" Li Zhang finally expressed his meaning.

Hearing Li Zhang's answer, Liu E also showed a contemplative expression, and after a while, she couldn't help but smile and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but now that Li Chengyu has been driven out of Xingzhou, Li Yuanhao has also suffered heavy losses, and I'm afraid it's hard to say who is strong and who is weak, right?" ”

"Li Chengyu is a waste, obviously he did his best before, but he was driven out of Xingzhou City by Li Yuanhao, a cripple, so I think it is better to canonize him, lest he lose too quickly!" Li Zhang immediately blurted out, he was very optimistic about Li Chengyu, and even thought that the other party would die in the hands of Li Yuanhao sooner or later.

Liu E also nodded again when he heard Li Zhang's words, Li Chengyu had the advantage before but was defeated by Li Yuanhao, and now he has some remnants in his hands, and he has lost the richest Xingzhou, even if the number of troops is more than Li Yuanhao, I am afraid that he is still in a weak position.

Thinking of this, Liu E finally made a decision, and then asked Li Zhang to step down, and then convened Wang Qinruo and others to discuss the matter, in fact, for the current Great Song Dynasty, the party item is no longer a threat, so this matter is not particularly important, as long as Liu E makes a decision, Wang Qinruo and these people will not have much objection.

When Li Zhang left the Vertical Arch Palace, he had been thinking about the party in his mind, and he was not surprised that Li Yuanhao had regained his strength, after all, the other party was also the founding king of Western Xia, and it was definitely not so easy to fall, which was also the main reason why he was not optimistic about Li Chengyu, now it depends on how long he can last under Li Yuanhao's hands?

A few days later, the holy decree of canonizing Li Chengyu was sent out of the capital by the envoys, and it is estimated that after this holy decree arrives at the party, it will definitely set off a bloody storm, which is also the benefit of a big country, sometimes without swords, just some diplomatic means can make the foreign forces fall into chaos, but these means are only auxiliary, and the real guarantee is the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the beginning of September, Liu Mei, who had been lingering on the hospital bed for several months, finally let go, and when the news reached Li Zhang's ears, he couldn't help but sigh, although he and Liu Mei had no friendship, but after all, they were acquaintances, especially the other party wanted to marry Qingzhi to him several times, although he didn't agree, but still let Li Zhang and the Liu family maintain a delicate relationship.

So on the seventh day of Liu Mei's first seven, Li Zhang also deliberately took time to go to mourn, during which he also saw Qingzhi from afar, but Qingzhi's eyes were red and swollen when he was crying, and he didn't see him at all, but this also made Li Zhang breathe a sigh of relief, for the relationship between him and Qingweaving, he hadn't figured out how to deal with it for the time being, and the remaining half of the words were not made up, but now there is no need to worry, anyway, Qingzhi has to keep filial piety for three years, so this matter is a long-term consideration.

"Big brother, you have to take care of this matter!" As soon as Li Zhang returned home that day, he saw the ugly lady finding him angrily and said loudly.

"What's wrong with Huozi?" Li Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the ugly girl's angry appearance, and said that the eighteenth change of the female college, but it didn't seem to work very well on the ugly girl, the skin was whiter, but the facial features did not change much, the small eyes turned the sky and the nose was thick, and the lips were thick, fortunately, the ugly girl was very open-minded, and she usually didn't care much about her appearance.

He ...... He often went to those hooks during this time, and he went all night, and he didn't listen to me when I scolded him a few times! The ugly girl hesitated for a moment, and finally told the good deeds that Huozi had done.

During the Song Dynasty, Goolan does not refer to a brothel, but a kind of entertainment place, similar to the theater of later generations, which can perform miscellaneous dramas and tell history, palace tunes, puppet shows, shadow plays, acrobatics, etc., many Goolan gathered together, plus other entertainment venues, it constitutes the most common tile in Tokyo City, Wazi can be said to be a comprehensive entertainment place, which has casinos, brothels, Goolan and so on, and Goolan and brothels sometimes have intersection, so later Goolan also slowly became another name for brothels.

"What should I do, Huozi is now grown up, and he is at the age of fun, and he is not short of money, and it is nothing to go to the hook bar to play." When Li Zhang said this, he suddenly found that the ugly girl's face was not good-looking, and immediately hurriedly turned a corner, "Of course, it's not good to be too unrestrained, I'll scold him later." ”

The ugly lady is not so easy to fool, and immediately glanced at Li Zhang and said: "If he just went to the hook fence, I wouldn't say anything, but big brother, you don't know, the reason why he goes to the hook fence every day, and he doesn't even want to come back at night, is mainly because...... Because he fell in love with a play, and he was a prostitute. ”

"What?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this, the artists performing in the hook bar are not only performing, some women will also sell their bodies at the same time, and even some of the hook columns are actually brothels, just providing some performances to entertain the guests, so the identities of the drama and the prostitute do not conflict, and even heard that some of the hook bars also have ** sumo wrestling performances, which are extremely corrupt, but unfortunately Li Zhang has never had the opportunity to see it.

"I've seen that woman, relying on her own some appearance, she gave Huozi a daze, and I don't know how much money she spent on the other party, and even wanted to help the other party redeem herself, but that woman obviously didn't look down on Huozi, she just wanted to fish him for money, but Huozi couldn't see it at all, I persuaded him several times but he didn't listen, I really couldn't help it, so I came to find you, big brother!" The ugly lady blushed at this time and said again.

Li Zhang couldn't help frowning after hearing this, Huozi was originally an amorous character, he used to think that Huozi would definitely suffer from women, but now it is really fulfilled, the woman in the hook bar is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not surprising that his first brother in the love field is played with by the other party.

"Big brother, Huozi was brought back by me today with an excuse, and now he should be in his yard, do you want us to go to him together?" The ugly lady saw that Li Zhang didn't speak, so she also spoke again at this time.

"Ugly girl, don't go, I'll talk to him alone!" Li Zhang also stood up at the moment and said, play and play, but if it is too out of line, he, the eldest brother, can't look at it, of course, now it's just the ugly girl's words, he doesn't know what Huozi thinks, so he still has to meet him in person.

The ugly lady was also a little dissatisfied when she heard that Li Zhang didn't let her go, but she was also a smart woman, and she knew that it was more convenient for Li Zhang to talk to Huozi, and if she went together, it would make Huozi more vigilant, maybe she didn't want to tell the truth, so in the end she could only reluctantly nod.

At that moment, Li Zhang stood up and walked to the courtyard where Huozi lived, now there are more and more people at home, mainly the maids and servants have been bought, so everyone is also assigned a few servants to take care of, when Li Zhang came, the courtyard door was open, so he walked in, and just saw Huozi lying under an elm tree under the courtyard, holding a pot of wine and taking a sip from time to time.

Compared with the black and thin little Huozi at the beginning, the current Huozi is tall and strong, and his open placket reveals a chest full of chest hair, his personality is impulsive, and he likes to fight at every turn, so he also follows the old knife and they practice martial arts, and his skills are quite good, of course, there is definitely no way to compare with wild dogs.

"You're quite laid-back!" Li Zhang said immediately.

At this time, Huozi heard the voice and found Li Zhang, and hurriedly jumped up, then pulled Li Zhang to sit down and said with a smile, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"What if I don't come, the ugly girl will sue you." Li Zhang said with a smile again at this time.

"Ugly girls like to meddle!" Huozi also said with an unhappy face when he heard this, Huozi was very ugly before, but now he has grown tall, occupying the light of his burly body, and he looks quite powerful, but the lost front teeth can't grow, so he can only be inlaid with a gold tooth, and some people behind him call him a big gold tooth.

"Tell me, what is the origin of that woman who ticked the fence?" Li Zhang asked directly to the point, there is no need for his brother to beat around the bush.
