Zhao Zhao stayed in Lanzhou for a few days and then returned to Chang'an, the affairs of the Hexi front line have Jing Sili, the logistics support has Shen Kuo, and he sits in Chang'an to lead the overall situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he returned to the Qin Palace, Li Cheng sent the latest information.

First of all, Bianjing's sent news from the palace that Zhao Ji's condition is getting worse and worse, and maybe his death is not far away, which means that there is not much time left for him.

Regarding the candidate for the storage position, it has not yet been decided, and Zhao Ji and Gao Taotao disagree. Gao Tao wanted to support his second son Zhao Hao, but Zhao Xuan seemed to be interested in setting up his young son Zhao Xu.

This is a good phenomenon, but if they are mother and son are of the same mind, it will not be easy to do. And there are indications that Zhao Ji may have left a holy decree for Empress Xiang.

"Empress Xiang, we have neglected a little in the past!" Zhao Zhao suddenly realized that if Zhao Ji whimpered for his life from now on, Empress Xiang could also play a pivotal role.

Li Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, there is some negligence, the ministers will immediately summon Di Gong and strengthen their attention to the queen." ”

"There is also an edict in her hand, trying to figure out the content, as well as the relevant situation, and it can be used to make a fuss when necessary!" Zhao Zhao has a plan, the two sides compete, and it is inevitable to meet hard. But something in the name of righteousness is also important and should be explored in any possible way to the advantage.

"Yes!" Li Cheng agreed stubbornly, although this matter is difficult to do, it is not impossible.

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Zhao was very satisfied with Li Chengneng's quick understanding of his own meaning.

Later, I saw that the intelligence showed that Zhao Ji had summoned Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu. and sent him to the Northwest Labor Army.

Alas! Zhao Ji always likes to do these tricks. Find ways to install your own people in the Northwest. Always thinking about dealing with yourself. This time, he actually sent his own uncle. Last time, I played this Zong Zhengqing at the Yong'an Emperor's Mausoleum, and I don't know what will happen this time......

Zhao Zhao sneered: "Hmph, Lao Jun? I'm afraid it's uneasy and kind! ”

Li Chengdao: "Indeed, Di Gong has been closely monitoring Zhao Zongsheng, and he went to a place that night!" ”

"Where?"

"Yuhang County Palace!"

Zhao Zhao frowned, and his impression of this person was already very indifferent. After all, it's been a few years, and I'm busy every day. There are too many people and things in contact, where can I keep all the inconsequential cats and dogs in mind?

Li Cheng added in time: "Your Highness, this person is the murderer you tracked down in Hangzhou when you were investigating the smuggling of salt, and he has been confined by Zhao Ji in the backyard of the mansion in the past few years. ”

As King Qin's personal guard and chief assistant, Mingyue Sect had already traced these things clearly, and Li Chengquan knew all about it at any time for King Qin to inquire.

Zhao Zhao suddenly said: "It's him, it is estimated that their family hates this king to death, Zhao Zongsheng went to find them, what kind of heart did he have?" ”

"We are ready. Beware of Zhao Zongsheng's possible tricks. ”

"Defensively, if we can please enter the urn. Wouldn't it be better? Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "Zhao Zongsheng is the core figure of Zhao Yun's sons, if he can hold him, maybe there will be unexpected effects." ”

"Yes, the minister will prepare immediately!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhao smiled lightly, in this game, there is no need to take the initiative to attack, you only need to see the move to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. So the late striker is probably like this, and it can be considered lucky to have a strange opponent like Zhao Ji.

Zhao Zhao then picked up another piece of information from the Liao State, and the Western Xia envoys asked the Liao State for help, but the Liao State refused.

This result was a little unexpected, and the Liao State gave up Western Xia like this? The wolf told him that it couldn't be. From this point of view, Liao may have a bigger plan. This matter must be weighed, even if the Western Xia is completely destroyed, the strength of the Song Dynasty, especially in military aspects, is still far behind that of the Liao State.

However, it may also be related to the power struggle between Yelujun and Yeluyixin, and the two have a big difference in this matter. Yelu Hongji seems to help his son more, but I'm afraid that Yelu Yixin is very unhappy! Even if there is only one side, Zhao Zhao also knows that he is a restless person.

According to the time, the day when the two people are incompatible is approaching. Maybe it won't be long before there will be a lot of excitement in Liao!

There was also some news that seemed to be insignificant, but the spies of the Mingyue Sect were very cautious and recorded all of them, and Zhao Zhao also took a closer look.

Liao lord Yelu Hongji favors the noble concubine Xiao Tansi, the old cow eats tender grass, it is the same everywhere! It's just that in this way, Queen Xiao Guanyin's life will definitely be difficult.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhao saw the ten poems "Huixin Courtyard" written by Xiao Guanyin. The deep palace is lonely, and the taste of being left out is revealed. Back in Liaodong, she had such a state, and now I'm afraid it's even more unbearable.

While Zhao Zhao secretly sighed, he was suddenly shocked, "Huixin Courtyard" came out, so will the "Ten Fragrance Words" be far away?

That thing was Xiao Guanyin's talisman for the death of the jade, and the crown prince Yelu Jun also died because of this, which was a relatively major turmoil in the Liao State during the reign of Yelu Hongji.

It stands to reason that if Yelujun died, it would only be good for the Song Dynasty. But what about Xiao Guanyin? As soon as this woman was involved, Zhao Zhao felt that he couldn't stay out of it.

In any case, there was a dew overnight love affair back then, and there were some feelings. One day husband and wife, although the 100 days have long passed, but the "grace" has not been broken, and there is always a trace of a different thought. How can you watch Hongyan die? This matter must be intervened.

"Li Cheng, I'll explain you something......" Zhao Ji immediately whispered a few words.

"Yes!" While Li Cheng received the order, there was also a little more suspicion in his eyes, could it be ...... His Royal Highness King Qin is really powerful!

"By the way, the safe passage is in place?" Zhao Zhao suddenly remembered this matter and asked solemnly.

Li Chengdao: "It's already in place, you can definitely transfer the princess and the prince safely!" ”

Zhao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Be sure to be proper, don't miss the slightest, start preparing now, maybe ...... You can use it at any time! ”

"Yes!" Mentioning this, Li Cheng felt an inexplicable excitement that he was finally going to do it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Zhao was originally focused on the situation in Bianjing and was planning big things, but he didn't want to have an emergency on the Western Xia side.

Because of the appearance of a person, the already precarious Western Xia was once again in turmoil.

The land on the southeast bank of the Yellow River in Lingxiadeng was lost, and only a corner of the living space of Western Xia was left, all of which was caused by the reign of Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yiburi, and they became responsible as a matter of course!

The party nobles were very dissatisfied with this and complained. In the past, because of some exchange of interests, mutual checks and balances were able to maintain a temporary balance.

However, as the Song army's offensive in Hexi became more and more ferocious, and the Liao State refused to send troops to help, the situation of Western Xia became worse and worse. The people were panicked and turbulent, and the temporary balance in the Western Xia was also broken.

The party nobles were very dissatisfied, and their reaction became more and more intense. Under the crisis, Liang Yi did not have an effective pacification measure in a short period of time, so he could only suppress it roughly.

This kind of thing is like a spring, either completely Mount Tai is overpowered, so that it can't turn over, but unfortunately Liang Yibu didn't do it.

As a result, the more he suppressed, the stronger the resistance of the party nobles. Finally, one day, the delicate balance was broken, and because of the appearance of a person, the situation worsened even more.

This person is Wei Minglangyu, he is Li Yuanhao's younger brother, Li Bingchang's grandfather, and the great-grandfather of today's small lord of Western Xia. There is no doubt that this person has a noble status and is highly respected. Especially in the era of Li Liangzuo, he also presided over government affairs in the DPRK and China, and his prestige was very high.

But after Li Liangzuo's death, the Liang family took power, and Liang Yi was buried in order to control the court. Wei Minglang is upright and unwilling to flatter the Liang family, as Li Yuanhao's younger brother, he will not easily lower his noble head. The Liang clan was naturally dissatisfied, so they tried their best to suppress Wei Minglangyu, and finally drove him out of the Western Xia court.

Wei Minglang Yu has been unknown for many years, until last year, when Xixia suffered an unprecedented defeat, Wei Ming Langyu finally couldn't sit still and came out to speak. But then Li Bingchang died, and the internal power struggle in Western Xia was fierce, and under the strong suppression of Liang Yiburi, Wei Minglang was defeated and retreated, and he couldn't afford to fall ill in Xiping Mansion. It is said that he had suffered a stroke, could not speak, was terminally ill, and could die at any time.

Liang Yibury didn't care about it, and was busy dealing with other things. But recently, there was a sudden accident, the old man recovered from his illness and became the leader of the party nobles, fighting against the strength of his relatives led by Liang Yibury. The Western Xia, which was already barely breathing, intensified the infighting and became more and more fragmented.

The Liang family controlled the capital Xingqing Mansion, while Wei Ming Langyu controlled Xiping Mansion, and the party nobles and foreign relatives confronted each other. Wei Minglang is capable, and he has extraordinary features in government affairs and military affairs, and the party members are deeply impressed, and now they all look to him as the leader. Even the party members in Xingqing Mansion began to move.

Opportunity is definitely an opportunity for Da Song.

Zhao Zhao originally thought that he would take a defensive position first and stabilize the overall situation of Bianjing before finally solving the Western Xia, but he didn't expect such an unexpected opportunity to appear.

In particular, Wei Minglang took the initiative to contact Song Jun, which has a great intention of cooperation. If this is the case, first solve the Western Xia, and the northwest will completely become his stable rear, and then he can wholeheartedly seek the throne.

Zhao Zhao made a quick decision, left Chang'an again, rushed to Mingsha, and got in touch with Wei Minglangyu. The Northwest Army also began to be fully mobilized, and the final battle against Western Xia was about to start.

Not long after Zhao Zhao left, Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu, came. Unfortunately, the King of Qin was not there, but Zhao Zongsheng did not return immediately, but stayed in Chang'an.

If the king of Qin really destroyed the Western Xia, it would be even more necessary to reward him. Moreover, the special explanation of the official family has not yet been completed, so how can he go home? It's better to wait, anyway, there is time, Chang'an is much safer than Bianjing.
