As soon as the king had changed his clothes, he heard someone knocking on the door of the guest room and asking, "Is it the prince from the capital?" He suggested that it was the voice of the shopkeeper, and when he opened the door, he saw the shopkeeper piling up a smiling face and said, "Look at you, you also bought cloud picks yourself, and said that you want to see me give you a copy." ”

Although his smiling face suddenly made Wang Bian a little confused, he was not very surprised. No matter where he goes along the way, anyone who knows that he is the prince next to the king in the capital will greet him with a smile. The king said politely: "It's nothing." Just as he was about to ask the shopkeeper something, a child jumped out from behind the shopkeeper, about ten years old, and asked happily at the king: "Wang Gongzi, do you still remember me?" ”

Wang Bei's eyes lit up when he saw this child, this child had a bun of hair, looked like a tiger's head, and had not yet taken off a pair of dark eyes on his immature face: "Jianzhong, why did you come here." Huo, you've grown taller. The king patted the child on the shoulder.

The child who came was the grandson of the famous Northwest general, known as the "Old Seed Jing and Slightly Xianggong" Chong Shiheng, and the king was going to visit Chongyi's son Chong Jianzhong. Seed Jianzhong is the child's current name, but anyone who has watched "Water Margin" knows that there is a small species that is slightly similar to the public seed teacher, which is the child's later name.

When Wang Fang came to Yanzhou last year, he saw that this kid had the momentum of a martial artist, and he liked it from the bottom of his heart. I haven't seen the little guy grow a lot taller for a year, and there is an entourage behind him, and when he saw that the king recognized his smiling eyes, he took the king's hand and walked out, and said as he walked: "The prince came with me, my father has set up a banquet in the house, and I am here to invite you." ”

A banquet had already been set up in the hall of the Chongyi Mansion, and if it weren't for the arrival of a guest, Chongyi would definitely go to greet the king. The last time he won the top of Hengshan Mountain, Wang Bi was an unsung hero, and now Wang Bi is becoming more and more famous, which makes Chong Yi proud of making this young friend. Hearing Yu Danian say that Wang Bi's son came with them, Chongyi wanted to go to the post station in person, but was delayed by the guests in front of him.

Opposite him sat a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, with a bird-like hairstyle on his head, rings on his ears, and a tight-fitting garment with narrow sleeves, dressed like a Tangut man. There was a pot of tea on the table, and the two chatted while drinking tea and waited for the king's arrival.

After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard and the sound of talking to Chong Jianzhong, and Chong Yi knew that the king had arrived, so he stood up to greet him, and the young man of Xixia also stood up. The two walked towards the king, and Chongyi took the lead in greeting: "Wang Gongzi came just in time, I was about to pick you up, and Li Xili, the envoy of the Fan Han Academy in Western Xia, came here in person to pick up Wang Gongzi to Western Xia." ”

When Li Xili saw Chongyi introduce himself, he knew that the guest he was waiting for had arrived, so he also greeted him and bowed his hand with the etiquette of the Han people: "The prince turned out to be a young hero, and he was disrespectful. This time, I specially invited the prince, and I hope to do more exchanges with our country. ”

Wang Fang had inquired before he came, and invited him to go to the Han Academy of the Western Xia Kingdom, the Fan Han Academy was the educational institution of the Western Xia, and there was no scientific examination when the Western Xia was founded, and the Emperor Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia wanted to use the Hu Lifan book to contend with the Han people, so he built the Fan Han Academy, mainly based on Yeli Renrong, and translated the "Book of Filial Piety", "Erya", "Four Words and Miscellaneous Characters" and the Chengbo language, and wrote the Fan book.

The evaluation of the position of officials is to select outstanding students from among the children of Fan officials and Han officials, and then enter the academy to study, and wait until the end of the semester to take the examination. The criteria for admitting officials are: to see whether the candidate's answers are accurate and whether the handwriting is correct, and then the official position is awarded according to the comprehensive score.

To Wang Pan's surprise, the title of "scholar envoy", in Wang Pan's impression, can be called a scholar at least forty or fifty years old. But the envoy of the Fan Han Academy in front of him looks very young. However, Wang next thought about it: Take the Great Song Dynasty as an example, there have been many talents in recent years, not to mention Su Shi, Su Zhe, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi for the time being. Speaking of Wang Yansuo, who is even in the middle school this year, he is only eighteen years old.

After the greetings, the three of them sat down, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank each other. During the conversation, Wang saw this Li Xuee, although he was young, he was very proficient in Han culture. And in addition to the Western Xia costume, his appearance is rarely as strong as the impression of Wang Bian, and his speech is also polite, although he is not good, but he is not disgusted.

After the banquet was dispersed, Li Xili took his leave, and Wang agreed with him to leave in three days. Seeing Li Xili leaving, Chong Jianzhong came to the hall and said to Chongyi and my king: "I don't like these Xixia people, they always have nothing to do, why does my father treat him so politely." ”

Chongyi's face sank: "Don't interject if the child doesn't understand, go and review your homework." Chong Shiheng pursed his lips, very reluctant to say goodbye to the king, and then withdrew. Looking at his son's back, Chong Yi's face was soothing, Chong Jianzhong was very likable, but there was nothing wrong with disciplining the child strictly, he saw a smile on the corner of the king's mouth, so he said: "This child is a quick temper, if he enters the official career in the future, he is afraid that he will suffer." ”

Wang said with a smile: "Jianzhong will become a climate in the future, and I am very optimistic about this child." ”

Hearing Wang Bian praise his son Chong Yi was very happy, he remembered the agreement between Wang Bian and Li Xili, "Wang Gongzi should be more careful when he goes to Western Xia this time." ”

"I'm a businessman, and I don't bring troops, and besides, I still go to communicate, and Xixia shouldn't be difficult for me." The king's heart did not take this envoy as a major matter at all. But since the kind of ritual reminder must ask more: "Thank you for the reminder, but I don't know what I want to pay attention to, is it just now?" He was halfway through his sentence.

Chong Yi shook his head: "The one just now came to the Great Song Dynasty with the courage to come, and some people in Western Xia were expecting him to have an accident." I'm afraid you'll have something to do with him. ”

This made Wang Bei feel strange, but he liked to ask this curious thing, and he said, "Huh? "Yes. Chong Yi lowered his voice and said: "This young man's identity is not ordinary, he is the brother of the current emperor of Western Xia. ”

These words made Wang Fang even more surprised, the current Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo is the Wuzang clan, the Empress Dowager is the wife of Tiandu Wang Yeli Yuqi, the Yeli family was once prosperous during the founding emperor Yuan Hao of Western Xia, and the queen Yeli clan was from this family. And the Yeli clan was too powerful, which attracted Yuan Hao's suspicion, so that Ye Li was killed by begging, but the Wuzang clan became Yuan Hao's lover and gave birth to an illegitimate son, Liang Zuo.

Li Yuanhao was suspicious and lustful in his later years, in addition to not hiding the clan, he also accepted the wife of the prince Ning Lingge, who was about to pass through the door, as a favorite concubine, and intensified his efforts to abolish the Yeli clan as the queen. The younger brother of the Wuzang clan was ambitious, and in order to seize the throne, he instigated the mother and son of the Yeli clan to murder Yuan Hao, and the prince Ning Lingge went to assassinate Li Yuanhao in an attempt, and did not hide the false Pang to take the opportunity to kill Ning Lingge's mother and son. Yuan Hao had his nose cut off and died of his injuries, and the brothers and sisters of the Wuzang clan who benefited from the fisherman took control of the state politics of Western Xia, and Liang Zuo, who was only two years old, ascended the throne.

These are all old things, but Wang Bei never knew that Li Liangzuo had a royal brother. Chong Yi explained: "This Li Xili was also born to Empress Yeli, but when Brother Ning Ling assassinated Li Yuanhao, he was still young, and although he was connected by Zhulian, he actually saved his life. This has to be said to be the credit of the current Liang's father. ”

The Liang family has always been cautious and arrogant, and the Liang family, as a Han Chinese, has a difficult time surviving in the country of the party members, even if it is a wealthy family, there is always a big gap with the state power. Empress Yeli and the crown prince were killed, and Liang's father persuaded Wuzang to not kill them all, and at the same time persuaded Empress Wuzang to show her grace if she wanted to govern, so Li Xili was left with his life.

Li Xili himself is also very low-key, plus he is talented, but he is meticulous in the academic research of the Han Dynasty. So it was slowly forgotten, and later Li Liangzuo and the Liang family set up a plan, contacted the general Manba, and took the opportunity to summon the unhidden Pang in the secret room, and captured him in one fell swoop, and then the husband who did not hide the false Pang, that is, the husband of the Liang family, was also killed, and the entire family of the Wuzang family was destroyed, and the queen did not hide the death of the clan.

The civil strife in the Western Xia court is only over here, and Li Xili was also appointed as the history of Han studies because of his knowledge, but this history of Han studies has no real power, Liang's elder brother Liang Yibury is now the prime minister, and the power of Western Xia is in the hands of the Liang family.

After telling the king about this, Chong Yi instructed again: "In fact, the prince can not go to Xixia until now, the emperor has a secret decree, if the situation at the border is urgent, the prince will stay here for a few days, and find a reason to return to the capital." ”

After listening to this, Wang Jian laughed: "Why don't you go, if they don't mess up, I'm really hesitant to arrive, but there is so much excitement to see right now, I have to go." ”

He didn't say big things, he had long wanted to clean up this Liang Yi burial. The first time he set fire, the second time he let Leng Qing rescue him from Kaifeng Mansion, and the third time he almost injured Yuexia. Since there is a nail next to Liang Yibury, he has to sharpen the nail and straighten it. Then stab Liang Yibury and Xixia hard, and let them know that Wang Bi is not easy to mess with.
