Chapter 600: Xiangguo, We Must Strike First (Third Update)
Chapter 600
After comforting Liang Rui, who was only thirteen years old, and watching him fall asleep, Liang Yikui slowly got up and exited the room, and ordered the guards around him to take care of his son, and then rushed to the study.
"Xiangguo, the lord of the country is not credible." Soon, among the henchmen who rushed to the scene after receiving Liang Yiqi's order, Hu Yu, who had always been resourceful, stroked his goatee, and his squinted eyes flickered.
"Tell me what you think." Liang Yiqi took a sip of the wine in front of him, and motioned for Hu Yu to continue.
"If the lord of the country really still relies on Xiangguo as a backer and backstage, he shouldn't say a word about his marriage. Although the Empress Dowager is already a prisoner of the order, you are his own uncle, who has presided over the national affairs of Great Xia for nearly 15 years. ”
"The marriage of the lord of the country is not only a family and a country, but also a major policy of a country, such a major event, the lord of the country has sent envoys several times, except for urging the country to return to Beijing, there is no mention of a word, isn't it suspicious?"
Winch nodded approvingly. "Although the lord of the country is young, but the prime minister, I have to consider the influence of those party items and eight clans, as well as the envoys of Northern Liao on my Great Xia, can definitely influence the situation of the court."
"What's more, although the letter of the lord of the country said very beautifully, but now, he has already led the garrison army of Na Sachen to Yanzhou, what does this mean, that is, the lord of the country does not believe in Xiangguo at all, and you are very wary of Xiangguo."
"All of this is known to the true appearance, but now, Song Ting's side has not replied to the original appearance, alas, ......" Liang Yiqi rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and said helplessly.
"Xiangguo doesn't need to worry, Song Ting has always held a grudge against Great Xia's invasion of its side, if he can have a chance to retaliate, he will not let it go, now, it is just a test of the patience between Xiangguo and Song Ting."
"As long as Li Qianshun has not made up his mind and led the whole country to fight, then we still have the capital to continue to negotiate with Song Ting."
"If the lord of the country is about to show favor to Xiangguo, he should not imprison the Liang family, and actually feed pigs and dogs.
Speaking of this, Liang Yiqi's face became more and more gloomy, and before the arrival of these henchmen, he had already carefully inquired about the third son, Liang Rui.
Coupled with the judgment of his subordinates now, Liang Yiqi knows very well that returning to Xingqing Mansion is definitely a fatal situation for himself.
"Lord Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo, this is news from Xingqing Mansion......" was in the middle of discussion, and a general outside hurried into the study, took out a small cloth bag from his arms and respectfully handed it over.
Soon, Liang Yiqi's guards took it and opened it, and poured out a wax pill the size of a dragon's eye, and after crushing it, inside was a thin silk full of fine regular script.
"Okay, good, good, good Li Qianshun, it seems that he is really bent on putting my own uncle to death in order to be willing......" After reading the secret letter in his hand, Liang Yiqi laughed suddenly, but the laughter was extraordinarily gloomy.
"Sangkook, what's wrong?" After a cadre of civil and military officers glanced at each other, Hu Yu asked first.
"Take a look for yourself, our lord of the country, not only to kill my Liang clan, hmph, I think he clearly wants to take advantage of this defeat, intending to sweep away all the clans other than the eight clans of the party in one fell swoop......" Liang Yi snorted sullenly and threw this secret letter on the desk.
Hu Yu picked up the secret letter, only after a few glances, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. In the past, before the Liang clan came to power, the most prominent party and eight clans controlled almost the entire court.
Moreover, nearly two-thirds of the troops of the Western Xia were soldiers and horses of the eight clans of the party, and they had experienced decades of operation after the big and small beams. Now, in the court, only one-third of the eight clans of the party are occupied, and the rest are mostly from many small clans of the party who have taken refuge in the Liang family, Han people, and Fan people to enter the political power center of Western Xia.
However, Li Qianshun was only able to be in power for more than a month, and the whole family of a deputy minister loyal to the Liang family was executed, and more than 20 important ministers of the non-party clan were either killed or imprisoned with their families.
Among the Tubo people, Zhao Xian, who served as the secretary of the military department in the court of the Western Xia Dynasty, was convicted of rebellion, and more than 300 members of his family were slaughtered.
Now, whether it is a Han or a Fan person, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries above the fourth rank have almost been swept away, and almost only the party members remain.
Now, Li Qianshun is discussing with the Liao envoy, and he, Li Qianshun, is willing to marry the daughter of the Liao clan, and he is still hesitant about the Liao envoy's initiative to send a large army to help Western Xia quell the rebellion.
What he hesitated was not that the Liao State sent troops to help the Western Xia put down the rebellion, but that the Northern Liao envoys proposed that if the Liao State sent troops to quell the rebellion, it would be necessary to cut off the northern territory of the Western Xia.
In a word, Li Qianshun completely regarded their army as a traitor, or rather an unstable factor that had to be exterminated.
Liang Yiqi slammed his palm on the desk. "Qianshun Xiaoer, such a vicious method, directly slaughtered the old man's right hand and right men in the court, and even told the old man that he cared about his nephew the most."
"Lord Xiangguo, the main thing in the country is not only the military power, he is trying to kill people and establish power, but also to kill our power......" Hu Yu took a deep breath, shook the secret letter, and said with a miserable smile.
Maybe before, many people still had some illusions about Li Qianshun in their hearts, but now, after seeing this secret letter with such bloody content, they all understand a truth, when they can see Li Qianshun, it is the time for them to wait for the head.
"It's still the far-sighted thinking of Lord Xiangguo, who has always thought that the Song army has the intention of invading the north, and the garrison is here, otherwise, at this moment, maybe our industry has been overwhelmed and has become the ghost of the sword of the famous Ah Wu and Renduo Zhongbao and others."
"Xiangguo, actually, in fact, we also think that the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and it is better to be ...... than to be unjustly killed by that Li Qianshun."
"This matter, the old man has his own plans, but from today on, you will give the old man an eye on those party soldiers and horses who are still left in the Jianing Military Division, if there is any change, you can make a decision on the spot, and you must not let them leave with all their tails, and when the time comes, it will become an obstacle for us."
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely take care of them for you."
"Wait, my lord, Xia Guan thinks that we can't continue to be so passive now......" Hu Yu drank those companions who were about to leave the study, and bowed to Liang Yi.
"What do you mean by that?" Liang Yiqi's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Hu Yu, who was relied on by himself as a think tank, and asked slowly.
"Since you have already made up your mind, then, we must strike first, so that we can grasp the initiative in our hands, and we must not look forward or backward."
"Therefore, the lower officials think that it is best to do it now and disarm the armies of all ethnic groups in the party, otherwise, once the matter is leaked, they will have a great possibility to become our life-saving talisman."
