Maybe Li Fugui would not have thought that his mistake would provoke the northwest to be unappeased, making the Song Dynasty and Western Xia unpeaceful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏレ?レ

In the winter of the third year of Xining, the Song Dynasty was widely implicated from Gyeongju to Bianjing because of the cases of Li Fugui and Lin Zhao. Gyeongju is in chaos, the farming family and the folding family are implicated, and the northwest border can be described as turbulent.

Fortunately, during this period, the Tangut people temporarily died down and did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, avoiding a catastrophic turmoil.

Is it the short-sightedness of the Tangut people who see the good opportunity at the moment?

Empress Dowager Liang knew very well that many people in Western Xia were aware of it, but they couldn't send troops.

Because of a series of mistakes buried by Liang Yi, the party nobles who were finally suppressed by the bullet were stupid, which made the situation of the Empress Dowager Liang very bad.

In this case, the Empress Dowager Liang was already very tired from dealing with the party nobles, and she really did not have much strength to launch a foreign war.

Moreover, if there is instability at home, how can we wage war with the outside world? A large amount of military power is in the hands of the party nobles, and in desperation, they have no choice but to give up this great opportunity.

Liang Yiburi, as the culprit, naturally became the target of public criticism, even his sister Empress Dowager Liang was dissatisfied with him.

He was transferred back from the Gyeongju front line before, and after returning to Xingqing Province, he had to be scolded a lot. It's just that after all, they are sisters and brothers, and Empress Dowager Liang has many places where she has to rely on him, and she rarely has to cover up for him to minimize the impact.

"You, you, how old are you, why are you always so frizzy?" Empress Dowager Liang had an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and she was quite annoyed.

The marriage between Qingtang City and Tubo failed, and the capture of Dashun City fell short. It also involved her sister Empress Dowager Liang and was humiliated. Reputational damage. Everything started because of his burial. It is also reasonable for Empress Dowager Liang to count him.

"What my sister taught me is that it's all mine!" Liang Yibury didn't dare to talk back to his sister, after all, it was his fault first, so he had to listen obediently. But Lin Zhao's shadow involuntarily appeared in his heart, everything was because of him, otherwise why would he have failed several times?

Fortunately, he teamed up with Li Fugui to concoct an unjust case, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty would help him kill him, which could be regarded as revenge. Liang Yi's deep hatred in his heart was finally soothed. The corners of his mouth involuntarily felt a little proud.

Although it was only a very subtle change in expression, the Empress Dowager Liang, who knew him very well and observed it carefully, noticed it at a glance.

"What? You don't know what to do, do you? The dignified Western Xia Prime Minister was made around by a kid who was weak in the Song Dynasty, look at your ability? Empress Dowager Liang couldn't help but ignore that she and her younger brother were only in their twenties, and at the same time she was particularly curious about this young man of the Song Dynasty named Lin Zhao, who was it?

Although the younger brother is not extraordinarily outstanding, his ability is also quite strong, and he can make him have no power to fight back, this person must have something special. Let's be honest. Empress Dowager Liang really wants to meet this person and see who is sacred? But I'm afraid I'll never have a chance. I heard that he has been imprisoned and is about to be beheaded.

How Lin Zhao was convicted, Empress Dowager Liang didn't care, she only cared about this fact. Thinking of Lin Zhao, he couldn't help but think of that scandal. Lin Zhao is the face of the Empress Dowager of Western Xia? Are you kidding! Empress Dowager Liang felt deeply humiliated, but when she thought of this time, she couldn't help but feel a little shy. In the final analysis, even if she is the queen mother, she is still a woman, not to mention that she is only in her twenties!

Liang Yi's face was flushed, and he was very embarrassed. Lin Zhao was already a dead man, and when the hatred lost its purpose, Liang Yibury began to examine himself. It's really not good enough this time, and we must pay more attention to it later.

Empress Dowager Liang said: "I have tried my best, the situation has gradually stabilized, you have to suffer some impact, and it can be regarded as a lesson for you." ”

Liang Yi was silent, this incident really had a great impact on him. His position as prime minister was retained, but his power and prestige would naturally be hit. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and he is helpless.

Of course, Liang Yi has no choice, it doesn't mean that Empress Dowager Liang has no countermeasures, just listen to her: "Bingchang has grown up, it's time to consider the candidate for this queen, Ah Lian is a good child, and Bingchang's childhood sweetheart can be a good match." ”

Li Bingchang is the lord of Western Xia, and Ah Lian is the daughter of Liang Yiburi, even if she is not very old, the big marriage has been put on the agenda. The meaning of Empress Dowager Liang's words could not be more obvious, she planned to marry her niece to her son and be the queen candidate. It can be used to make up for the adverse effects of many previous events on Liang Yi's burial and enhance his status and power. More importantly, to continue the glory and wealth of the Liang family.

In history, it is not uncommon for such aunts and nephews to be queens.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, in order to maintain her wealth, married her niece to her grandson Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Later, several Yin queens in the Eastern Han Dynasty were all from the Xinye Yin clan and had a great relationship with Yin Lihua. There are also several Empress Deng, the same, most of them are from the Xinye Deng family.

In today's Liao Kingdom, all the queens are from the Xiao family. Even the Great Song Dynasty was no exception, the Cao family raised Zhao Zongshi, had high hopes for him, and promised his niece to him, probably with such a mind. There are many examples of this kind of aunt and nephew entering the harem one after another, and the reason is self-evident.

Now the Empress Dowager Liang has also moved this thought, but is this arrangement really good? Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not like Empress Bo arranged by his grandmother, and after the death of Empress Dowager Bo, he abolished her on the grounds that he had no children. The fate of those queens of the Eastern Han Dynasty will probably not be too good, in fact, they had a bloody lesson before the Western Xia.

When Li Liangzuo was young, he did not hide the Empress Dowager in charge, and his uncle did not hide Pang Quan's power to tilt towards the government and the opposition, and he also married the daughter of the Wuzang family to Li Liangzuo. But the result? Not only did it not keep the power of the non-collectors, but it became a life-saving talisman for them to lose their lives.

There is no other reason, after this kind of aunt and nephew two generations are also queens, the power of the surname relatives will undoubtedly increase greatly. The dictatorship of relatives was a taboo for ancient kings, and it was difficult to tolerate. Therefore, the emperor who ascends the throne will naturally reject the family of foreign relatives, and once the relationship is not handled well, the contradiction can only escalate and fight for life and death.

I didn't hide how the Pang family was ruined. Empress Dowager Liang is a first-hand experiencer. As the daughter-in-law of the no-collector, he replaced the daughter of the no-collector as the queen. It can be said that the lessons of the past are just around the corner. But the lesson has still not been learned. still wants to marry his niece to his son.

She didn't notice that isn't the current Ri's self the Empress Dowager who didn't hide it? What is the difference between Liang Yi buried and not hidden? Is this really planning for the future of the Liang family, or digging a grave for the family? Empress Dowager Liang didn't think about it so much. An indisputable fact is in front of us, and this move can at least maintain Liang Yi's current position, which is enough.

Liang Yibury was excited, the uncle, the prime minister, and a national abbot, but the status of the Western Xia can be second to none. Immediately smiled: "Thank you, sister!" ”

"I really want to thank me, I should do things well, don't let people down again!" Empress Dowager Liang still has that expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, but her eyes contain a lot of hope. It can be seen that he is still full of expectations for Liang Yiburi.

Mrs. Liang continued: "Marriage alone is not enough, and how to calm the emotions of those party elders is also very troublesome. In such a situation, I am afraid that I will have to continue to think about the Song Dynasty to start a war. ”

"At war?" Liang Yiburi suddenly felt that he had underestimated his sister's courage.

Empress Dowager Liang nodded helplessly and said, "That's right, the cold winter is about to pass, and we can move our troops as soon as Chun Tian arrives." I'm already very polite. I want to make peace with the Song Dynasty, but people don't appreciate it! One side gave us a candy. Now it has given us a resounding slap in the face. Is it hard to swallow your anger? ”。

"Naturally not!" Liang Yibury knew very well that in the Western Xia Kingdom, especially those party members advocated bravery, it was a tradition. The more times like this, the more you can't show weakness, otherwise it is easy to be looked down upon by them. Not to mention the loss of support, perhaps the opposition will cause even more opposition and turmoil, and some people will even be stupid.

At the same time, when the internal contradictions were serious, it was undoubtedly a very wise strategy to transfer the contradictions to the Song and Xia wars. Previously, Empress Dowager Liang was not sure to control the situation, but now that the situation has improved, she will act immediately. The party aristocracy is already belligerent, and as long as they go to war, they can reap the benefits of it, so that they can successfully survive the crisis.

This method, their brother and sister have done it more than once. When the young Li Bingchang first ascended the throne, their sister and brother first came to power, and it was in this way that they gained a foothold.

After the first success, they saw that it was profitable, and now they are doing it again. It's not just them, Liang Yiburi's daughter Ah Lian, and the future Empress Dowager Xiao Liang will also take this approach as always in the future.

"That's good, but my sister is sure?". The most worrying thing is the result, if you defeat everything, it is easy to say, if you are defeated, there will be trouble.

"Sure?" Empress Dowager Liang smiled lightly: "Do you need to be sure of starting a war with the people of the Song Dynasty?" As long as it is not too excessive and does not hurt the fundamentals, the people of the Song Dynasty are still more willing to spend money. ”

This is indeed a very embarrassing question, and the scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty have a fear of the attack of the Western Xia. He would rather settle the situation than expand the war. It is precisely because of this emphasis on civility over military force that the idea of spending money to buy peace has continued to perpetuate and has become a bad habit over time.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Liang is sure that as long as she violates the principle of Xing, such as calling the emperor irrationally like Li Yuanhao, she will save the face of the Great Song Dynasty. Don't overdo it, the Song Dynasty's reaction will not be too violent. It is precisely because of this that the Western Xia people have no fear and regard the attack on the Song Dynasty as a means for them to fight for power and profit, like child's play. In the end, the Western Xia issue became a cancer and threatened the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty......

Only this time, can Empress Dowager Liang still be able to do this?

At least for now, Empress Dowager Liang is still quite optimistic about the prospects, and said in a deep voice: "The war is to take care of those old party men, but it is also for you and our Liang family." This time, you must behave well and get all the previous humiliation back, and the shame of the past is ...... today."

Liang Yi knew in his heart that his sister had taken great pains for herself, and if there was no progress, she really couldn't say it. This time he was full of confidence and vowed to make a difference.

Sometimes when you're lucky, you can do whatever you want, and it's easy for your wishes to come true.

Today's Liang Yibury feels that he is a lucky person, although he can't be happy like Lin Zhao, but he can barely be happy.

My daughter is about to become the queen, this is the first joy, but I didn't expect to receive the second good news when I returned to the house. It's just that he didn't expect that this second good news would soon be happy and sad.

He had just received news that Li Fugui, the governor of Gyeongju in the Song Dynasty, had committed treason. The fleeing came to Western Xia. In the beginning. Liang Yibury didn't know what the reason for Li Fugui's trick was. I didn't care. I just thought that Li Fugui was a high-ranking officer in the border army of the Song Dynasty, and he knew many key things such as military deployment and grain and grass distribution.

Now that he has come to Western Xia, he can find a way to get a lot of useful things from his mouth. It is very helpful for the plan of the Western Xia to attack the Song Dynasty in the future, and the deployment of troops and the attack and defense will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort.

My sister just confessed that she wants to perform well in this battle. Good things come to your door. As long as you control Li Fugui, you will definitely be invincible all the way and invincible. Liang Yiburi, who had no intention of leading troops, was suddenly full of confidence and wanted to give it a try.

After the joy, a big question mark came to his mind. Okay, how could Li Fugui defect? Unless it's ......

He knew Li Fugui's level, and he was also involved in Lin Zhao's incident, so he knew some of the situation.

At this juncture, Li Fugui can't stay in the Song Dynasty, there is only one possibility. That's ...... Add a little association before and after, and the answer will come out.

All of a sudden. Liang Yi's smile froze, and he chuckled in his heart, feeling a very bad premonition. Just as he thought, someone soon reported to him that Lin Zhao was acquitted.

Not guilty, that is, not dead.

Hearing the news, Liang Yibury really had a feeling of joy and sadness, and all the joy in his heart was swept away in an instant, replaced by endless depression.

He already hated Lin Zhao very much, and a lot of pressure in recent times has been completely attributed to Lin Zhao. The reason why he was able to bear it was because he thought that Lin Zhao would die and be able to take revenge.

But in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and even if he lost his sister's name, he still failed in the end. Liang Yi's frustration is not lower than that of Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing.

Helpless, really helpless! The infinite hatred in his heart could not be vented, and the suppression made him very uncomfortable. Although he really wanted to take revenge, Lin Zhao was now in Bianjing, and he couldn't reach it. Unless he comes to the northwest again, as long as he comes, he will definitely have no return......

Now that these are empty words, in this case, the only way to transfer all the hatred to the Song Dynasty is to do so. Then the action of attacking the Song Dynasty is bound to be more diligent, and it is necessary to regain the face lost in Dashun City......

Liang Yi, who calmed down, thought that controlling Li Fugui was the first priority at the moment.

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

At this moment, Li Fugui is like a lost dog, fleeing to the territory of Western Xia in a hurry, the whole person is extremely haggard, old and wasted, completely devoid of the spirit of going to ri, and even a little crazy.

I didn't expect Bianjing to fail, it doesn't make sense!

With Wang Xianggong here, Wang Yuanze is personally involved, how can there be a mistake? What's more, Lin Zhaowen's crime has been determined, how could such a thing happen? Li Fugui was a little puzzled.

Could it be that someone is playing against himself? Wang Xianggong crossed the river and demolished the bridge? The first thing that Li Fugui thought of was the problems of others. He would never have thought that something that was certain would take a fundamental turn because of the sudden appearance of the Empress Dowager.

The person he arranged did not expect such a situation, so the delivery of the news was delayed, so that Li Fugui was not on guard. is also a coincidence, Wang Shao's time grasp is very exquisite, and he won him in one fell swoop.

"Wang Shao, I didn't expect this guy to be such a thing, he is modest and respectful in Pingri, but he is so ruthless today!" Li Fugui scolded and scolded along the way, and he couldn't stop at all. Perhaps this is the only way to relieve the panic and violent struggle in his heart......

He thought that the most serious consequence would be dismissal, and exile would be impossible, but he didn't expect Wang Shao to do it directly. Even the army has been mobilized, the sword has been moved, and the seriousness of the matter is constantly rising, what can he think of.

"General, the matter has come to this, and I am already lucky to be able to save Xing's life." Chen Qiaoping seems to be a calm reader, but in fact, he has ruthlessness in his bones, and he is still very good at taking risks.

He took the risk because he saw the situation and the consequences clearly. Wang Shao's decision represents the court's decision to clean up Li Fugui, as long as the truth of Dashun City is exposed, he will definitely die, and as a deeply involved, how can he be spared?

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to defect directly to Western Xia, and there is still a chance to live. As for welcoming Li Fugui, perhaps it was to repay the kindness of the acquaintance, and it was a loyal act of the confidant. Or maybe you just want to add a little bit of weight. A staff member would not attract the attention of the Tanguts, but a high-profile general would be a different matter entirely.

"Chen Qiao, thanks to you!" Anyway, at least Xing's life was saved. As for the position of power in the Great Song Dynasty, glory, wealth, and even fame, it is no longer important at this moment.

"As it should be!" Chen Qiao just replied lightly.

"What's next? Do you want to go to Liang Yi to bury it? ”。 Although Li Fugui also realized that with his own identity, it seemed that it was not difficult to have something to eat in Western Xia. It's just that at this moment, my mind is a mess, and I can't figure out anything.

"I'm afraid we don't need to look for it, someone has already come to look for us!" Chen Qiao looked straight into the distance, and as soon as Li Fugui turned around, the dust was flying directly in the northwest, and someone was galloping towards him...... (To be continued......)
