Duting West Station.

Ma Kuo, Zhi Yanwen, and Zhi Zhichang walked in from the outside.

Far away, Li Zhizhong and the other summer envoys saw that Zhi Yanwen and Zhi Zhichang's faces were sinking like water, and only Ma Kuo's face still had a warm smile on his face.

Speaking of which, Li Zhizhong and other Xia envoys hated Zhi Yanwen and Zhi Zhichang to death.

These two people, in the process of this negotiation, not only reported all the details of the Western Xia to the Dazhong Imperial Court, making them extremely passive, but also always trying to prevent the Zhongxia from forming an alliance, and they even suspected that the recent noisy "temporarily postpone the recovery of Yanyun and go all out to destroy the Western Xia" was proposed by these two or the Fuzhou family behind them.

It's okay -

Not all of them are short-sighted!

Li Zhizhong and the others didn't look at Zhi Yanwen and Zhi Zhichang, but went straight to Ma Kuo, and said very enthusiastically: "Ma Xianggong, look at your red face, but what good things have happened, or what good news has come to us?" ”

Ma Kuo smiled: "There is good news. ”

Li Zhizhong said: "Oh? What's the good news? ”

Ma Kuo said: "The official family agreed to most of the alliance conditions you proposed, and also agreed to accept your princess of Western Xia as a concubine. ”

When Li Zhizhong heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of your country is really wise, he and our Princess Yinchuan will definitely be a pair of fairy couples!" ”

Ma Kuo said: "Uh...... The official family is not your Yinchuan princess, no, you can't say that, the official family's original words are that he doesn't dislike the most is that there are many women, the Yinchuan princess is beautiful and elegant, unparalleled, he likes it very much, but the official family wants to accept the other two princesses. ”

Li Zhizhong and the others listened, "The other two princesses? But we don't have any other princesses in Daxia! ”

The Western Xia royal family withered, and the members could be said to be pitiful.

Li Yuanhao didn't talk about the previous ones, it was too far away from the current Western Xia.

Let's just start with Li Yuanhao.

Originally—

Although Li Yuanhao cannot be compared with Li Yan and Zhao Ji, emperors with many children, he also has six sons.

Li Yuanhao, who can kill his mother, uncle, wife, son, and minister, is cruel by nature, and he killed two of his six sons, and the rest, one practiced qigong and died because he couldn't eat, one was killed by a counterplot, and one died young.

As a result, in the end, Li Liangzuo, who was only one year old, could only be enthroned.

Although Li Liangzuo was lustful and didn't even let go of his own sister-in-law, he was a short-lived guy who only lived to be twenty-one years old and died, leaving only one son, Li Qianshun's father, Li Bingchang.

(Li Liangzuo actually has a daughter, but she was sent to Tubo by the ruthless Empress Dowager Liang decades ago.) ）

Li Bingchang was stronger than Li Liangzuo, and lived to the age of twenty-five before he died, leaving behind two sons - the eldest son is the current lord of Western Xia, Li Qianshun, and the younger son is the current generalissimo of Western Xia, King Li Chage.

When he arrived at Li Qianshun, he was not strong, and Li Qianshun only gave birth to three sons in his life - the eldest Li Renai, and died a few years ago because of Emperor Tianzuo, and now only Li Renxiao (later Xixia Renzong) and Li Renyou (King Yue, the biological father of Li An'an of Xixia Xiangzong. ）

In other words, there was actually no princess in Western Xia at all.

So what's going on with this Yinchuan princess?

This Yinchuan princess, named Li Qinglu, is actually the only daughter of Li Gecha, the king of Jin, and is only thirteen years old this year.

The elder brother is the emperor and manages all the political and civil affairs of the Western Xia, and the younger brother is the generalissimo of the Western Xia, managing all the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia.

Therefore, Brother Richard's daughter is equivalent to Li Qianshun's daughter, and she was named Princess Yinchuan by Li Qianshun early, and because there is only one princess in Western Xia, she is also called Princess Xixia.

To be honest, Xixia didn't think about using Li Qinglu to marry her relatives at all, what they wanted was to marry a princess from Dazhong.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan insisted on not paying tribute.

In the eyes of the grassland countries, harmony is the most sincere alliance and the most reliable alliance.

It is said that Li Yan insisted on not paying tribute if he did not get along with his relatives, and Western Xia could not bird Dazhong, because they could not see any sincerity in forming an alliance from Dazhong.

But Li Zhizhong fed back Dazhong's true strength to Li Qianshun and Brother Richard, which made Li Qianshun and Brother Richard very worried, if they didn't form an alliance with Dazhong, Dazhong would find an excuse to destroy Western Xia!

After thinking about it, the high-level of Xixia discussed it repeatedly, and in the end, Li Qianshun decided to use Li Qinglu to make peace, you don't marry, I marry, this is always okay, right?

But what Li Qianshun and the others never expected was that they came to send the princess, and Dazhong still pushed back.

finally waited until Dazhong agreed, but there were still complications, and he had to accept the other two princesses.

The point is, there are no other two princesses in Western Xia!

I really couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Dazhong, Li Zhizhong could only say: "The old man dares to vouch for the head of the emperor, I will never have a second princess in Daxia, so please ask Ma Xianggong to say bluntly, who does the emperor of your country want to accept?" ”

Ma Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and replied directly: "The two daughters of the late Liang Guoxiang, honorific names, Liang Xianxian, Liang Shishi." ”

"What?"

When Li Zhizhong and the others heard this, they were all shocked!

Why do Li Zhizhong and others have such expressions?

This is not only because Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi are not the princesses of Xixia, but also because the identities of Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi are too special!

So who is this Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi?

As mentioned above, they are the daughters of the late Minister of State Liang Yikui.

Some people may say that Liang Yikui's daughter is Liang Yikui's daughter, and it is also worthy of Li Zhizhong and others?

Those who can say this must not know the relationship between Liang Yikui and the Western Xia royal family.

To put it simply, this Liang Yiwei is the elder brother of Li Qianshun's mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and the powerful minister of Western Xia, in other words, Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi should be the cousins of Li Qianshun and Li Chage.

Hearing this, some people may say, that's nothing, and it's not worth the shock of Li Zhizhong and the others?

How could it be so simple.

In the short history of more than 100 years in Western Xia, there were two very famous women - the Empress Dowager Liang.

The two of them fought with the Northern Song Dynasty for decades.

And the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Liang is Liang Yikui's father, Liang Yiburi.

The Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yiburi brother and sister worked together - the Empress Dowager Liang entrusted all the power of the court to Liang Yiburi, and Liang Yiburi arranged for his children and cronies to hold important positions. He and Du Luowei, who held the military power, and the guards of the Empress Dowager Liang, formed a new mother party group, which firmly controlled the supreme ruling power of the Western Xia, and at the same time they excluded dissidents, wantonly brutalized the Western Xia magnates, and suppressed the imperial power of the Western Xia.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Liang, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang took power.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang appointed Liang Yikui as Minister of State.

But Liang Yikui does not have his father's vision and ability, and he and the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang can't cooperate as well as the Empress Dowager Daliang and his father, not only that, but he also fights with the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang openly and secretly, and slowly, he even has a heart of disobedience, wanting the Liang family to replace the Li family, and wanting to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.

And the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang is also a ruthless person, she cooperated with the Western Xia magnates, not only killed Liang Yi, but also wiped out the entire Liang family.

For more than 30 years, the dictatorship of Western Xia has produced two relatives of the ruling mother, the Liang family, and it has come to an end.

But—

Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was the Liang family in the end, and she didn't really kill all the Liang family - some inconsequential Liang family members actually survived in the end.

And two of them are Liang Yiqi's two twin daughters Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi, who were just over a month old at the time.

Time flies, more than 20 years have passed.

At that time, people either died or lost power, in short, time has passed.

And Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi have also grown up, and the thing is that they are slim and elegant, beautiful, and captivating, and some old people see them, and even secretly exclaim: The Empress Dowager Liang has been reborn!

It's a pity -

Because of the insoluble grievances between the Liang family and the Western Xia royal family, coupled with the complete decline of the Liang family, although Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi were born with national beauty and natural fragrance, no one dared to marry them, resulting in them being twenty-three years old, unmarried, and living a poor half-prisoner life.

Li Zhizhong and other Xia envoys never expected that Li Yan would accept these two women!
