The latest chapter of "King Song"...
Lin Zhao and Han Jiang were full of expectations, hoping to pry something of value out of the female killer's mouth, but the result was not satisfactory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The female killer in purple died because of her injuries, and it didn't take long for her to die. can only be judged from some clues that the killer is a Tangut, which is the only clue.
The Tangut people, at least Han Jiang's first reaction was to be surprised!
He never expected that the Tangut people would also be involved!
Because since the moment Lin Zhao was assassinated, the first object of suspicion was Li Fugui, and the result was inevitably a little unexpected.
Is Lee Fu-gyu innocent? Is it thinking too much? Or is there some collusion between Li Fugui and the Tanguts? If the latter is the case, the consequences are unimaginable. Li Fugui is still the governor of Gyeongju and holds the military power of Huanqing Road, while there is still the Western Xia army in the northwest of Dashun City. What happens if they secretly communicate with each other?
It's horrible!
Han Jiang was almost shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about anything else, and immediately gave Emperor Zhao Ji a secret recital. Let the emperor and the imperial court be careful about the situation in the northwest and be on guard, which is also the responsibility of him, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road.
At the same time, Han Jiang is also very curious!
What was the purpose of the Tangut people to assassinate Lin Zhao? That's where it's the most puzzling. According to Li Fugui, Lin Zhao is the face of the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, and the Empress Dowager Liang has no reason to hunt down and kill her little lover? Could it be because Lin Zhao had some secret of Western Xia?
Of course, if Li Fugui's rhetoric was problematic from the beginning, there seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the border defense of Huanqing Road needs to be more careful.
In addition, there is an indisputable fact, the situation is getting more and more complicated, especially the mysterious people who rescued Lin Zhao today, I don't know who they are?
Qingjian City is undoubtedly the most likely, Han Jiang and Lin Zhao have the same suspicions! It is not surprising that the breeder has such a move, and it is most common sense. I can't hide this at all. Sooner or later, the imperial court will get the news, and it is really hard to say what kind of reaction it will cause.
However, there is one point, the more people want to assassinate Lin Zhao, and some people protect it so carefully, which shows that the matters involved in this case are becoming more and more complicated, and maybe there are many unknown secrets in it.
Interesting!
Han Jiang couldn't help but admire Lin Zhao's young age. inadvertently, it touched the nerves of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the scale is small and weighs thousands of catties, is Lin Zhao similar to the scale at the moment?
Lin Zhao was also puzzled, it had something to do with Western Xia? Is Liang Yi obsessed with killing himself to take revenge? But didn't he obviously borrow Li Fugui's knife? Need to do more? Or...... Could it be because that rumor angered the Empress Dowager Liang and wanted to get rid of herself and protect her reputation? Or did Li Fugui and others collude with the Tanguts?
In any case, this matter must have nothing to do with Liang Yi's burial!
Lin Zhao couldn't help but sneer: Liang Yi buried, your hand is too long! This is the border of the Great Song Dynasty!
A few days later. On the border of Song and Xia, Liang Yishu heard the report of his subordinates, sneezed again and again, and was constantly disappointed.
The killer who went to assassinate Lin Zhao was indeed sent by him, and he was a master of Western Xia Gathering.
The assassination of Lin Zhao this time was in addition to the impulse to put Lin Zhao to death because he hated Lin Zhao very much. His sister Empress Dowager Liang. and the party nobles of Western Xia in China also put a lot of pressure on him.
He originally wanted to get rid of Lin Zhao by borrowing a knife to kill people and borrow the hand of Li Fugui. For this reason, he did not hesitate to concoct a lot of reasonable evidence, intending to trap Lin Zhao in the situation of collaborating with the enemy and avenge him with one arrow.
The wishful thinking was good, but Liang Yiji never expected that Li Fugui would come to such a hand.
The range of action was quite large, and Lin Zhao was directly framed for a big crime, so the result. Liang Yi buried naturally clapped his hands and applauded, and he couldn't ask for it!
However, Li Fugui blamed himself for the bloody case of more than 1,000 people in Dashun City. It's really not authentic, and the relationship between Song and Xia will undoubtedly be more tense now, and it will be difficult to ease it later. At this point, Liang Yi buried it very unpleasantly, but in order to achieve the goal. I still put up with it!
However, the development of some aspects far exceeded his expectations and control, which was unbearable. For example, the scandal between Lin Zhao and Empress Dowager Liang was completely fabricated by Li Fugui in order to confuse outsiders. And it is also vividly depicted.
This incident also reached the ears of the Tangut people, and it undoubtedly became a big joke. Empress Dowager Liang was furious, although she did have male pets, but these are relatively secret, and ordinary people don't know about them.
But Lin Zhao's matter undoubtedly pushed these disgraceful things to the table and made them public!
Liang Yibury didn't expect that Li Fugui added such a lame reason, which caused great damage to the reputation of his sister Empress Dowager Liang.
The sudden change in the situation in Gyeongju is so intense, how can the Empress Dowager Liang and the ministers and nobles in Western Xia not know?
When the news reached Xingqing Mansion, Liang Yibu received feedback from the anger of the Empress Dowager Liang, as well as the accusations of the ministers and party nobles.
Empress Dowager Liang is not without male favorites, and her guards are the guests who enter the curtain without being cute. As the queen mother, her private life is disorderly, after all, it is detrimental to the majesty of the mother's world. Everyone turns a blind eye and knows it in private, but if you have to put it on the table, don't you deliberately get along with people? It's undoubtedly a shameful thing.
It's just that the secret thing is made public! There is also a question, even if the dignified Empress Dowager of Western Xia is looking for a male favorite, does she disdain all the warriors of Western Xia and specifically favor a man from the Han family? In this way, how can thousands of men in Western Xia be embarrassed?
Now, Empress Dowager Liang's fame and style/rhyme are no longer only in Western Xia, but have spread to the territory of the Song Dynasty. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, and the empress dowager of Western Xia has been thrown to the Song Dynasty, and raising male pets has become an international scandal.
Can Empress Dowager Liang not be annoyed? Can the party nobles of Western Xia watch the queen mother be humiliated, the first king be humiliated, and the Western Xia royal family is disgraced?
On the one hand, they were very indignant, and at the same time, the party nobles in Western Xia used this as an excuse to blame the Empress Dowager Liang openly and secretly.
You must know that since Li Bingchang ascended the throne, the relationship between the party nobles and the Liang brothers and sisters in Western Xia has been very tense. Empress Dowager Liang finally won the support of the Liao State by being hostile to the Song Dynasty, and only after paying a huge price did she stabilize the situation.
But the good times didn't last long, first Liang Yi buried the Qingtang City, and the marriage of Hehuang Tubo made a big joke. Not to mention the embarrassment in front of the Song envoys, the relationship between the Uighurs and the Tibetans increased day by day, and became a threat to the Western Xia.
The prestige and majesty that Empress Dowager Liang had so hard accumulated was greatly impacted!
Fortunately, at this time, Li Fugui, the governor of Gyeongju in the Song Dynasty, gave them an excellent mouth. Empress Dowager Liang specially asked Liang Yibury to preside over the war against the Song Dynasty, hoping to re-consolidate her position with her military achievements.
It's a pity that it backfired, and Liang Yi buried his willfulness and changed his combat strategy at will for his own personal grudges, which eventually led to the return of Dashun City in vain.
Yeli Han is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the Yeli family was originally a big nobleman of the party, and he himself was a general, and his generals suffered heavy casualties, and he was defeated in the end, so he was naturally unhappy. Therefore, he directly went to the lord of the Western Xia State, in fact, the Empress Dowager Liang, and impeached Liang Yi. The party aristocracy moved to express their support when they heard the news.
The two stupid things immediately aroused strong disgust in Western Xia, and the opposition to Liang Yibury was even higher and higher. At this time, there was also a scandal about the Empress Dowager Liang, which can be said to be worse.
Empress Dowager Liang, who had managed to stabilize the situation, was once again crumbling, in addition to trying to consolidate her position. also expressed strong dissatisfaction with her younger brother Liang Yiburi, hating iron and not steel! and ordered him to deal with the scandal!
Liang Yibu is also under tremendous pressure because of this, but the evil consequences have been caused, and it is already an irreparable situation.
But there is one thing, everything is because of Lin Zhao, thanks to Lin Zhao, how can he be easily spared? In addition, the scandal started because of him, ...... if you get rid of him directly?
The reputation of the queen mother's sister was damaged, and Liang Yiburi did not blame Li Fugui for spreading rumors, but was extremely hostile to Lin Zhao.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Liang Yi became, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, so he sent someone to infiltrate the territory of the Song Dynasty and assassinate him directly. It's faster and more direct than borrowing a knife to kill people, and it can also give an explanation to my sister and the party nobles.
Liang Yibu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and secretly contacted Li Fugui to seek assistance, or cooperation. Li Fugui, who had long wanted to kill people and kill people, naturally did not object.
So two people who were supposed to be enemies came together because of a common enemy, and joined hands with each other. Li Fugui took advantage of his power to deliberately reveal relevant information, so that the Western Xia Assassins knew Han Jiang and Lin Zhi's team well.
However, the army has been very well protected before, and they have no chance to make a move. Knowing that the Weishui ferry had an opportunity, he planned this assassination!
Originally, everything was planned very well, and if it could be executed smoothly, it would not be impossible to assassinate Lin Zhao. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Liang Yizhu didn't expect that there would be many mysterious guards around Lin Zhao. Observe the details, always be on guard, and use more clever means, and the elite killers of Western Xia are also on the way!
The assassination attempt ultimately failed!
Liang Yi was very uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't think of any other way for a while. It was as if Lin Zhao was his natural enemy, although he had thought of a lot of ways, he was never able to help him, this matter was really annoying!
Liang Yi buried this hatred, it's really indescribable!
At this time, his sister Empress Dowager Liang sent a decree to let him return to Xingqing Mansion to discuss major matters!
Liang Yibury went back temporarily with a nervous mood, returned the army to Ye Lihan, and temporarily stood still, and the Gyeongju border was temporarily peaceful!
But many times, the storm is often preceded by extra solemnity. The brief tranquility of Gyeongju seems to be brewing an even bigger storm! (To be continued.) )
