Chapter 11: The New Long March
Dali is just a small country out of reach for Western Xia, and the envoy from Dali said that he would unite Western Xia to fight against Jiaoluo, which made Liang Luoyao disdainful at all. This disdain www.biquge.info not only willing Xixia's own insecurity, but also stems from her contempt for Dali. Then when I listened to my brother Liang Yiburi's narration of Gao Yu, Liang Luoyao suddenly became interested. She wanted to see what kind of Dali envoy who was very similar to Wang Bei had the ability to go to Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty to spy on the military situation in order to curry favor with Western Xia.
In order to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, Xixia owed a large amount of foreign debts to the Liao Dynasty, and it was Yelu Yixin who was responsible for arranging this matter. the second is to arrange a character who can never be completed, trap Xiao Ying in Western Xia, so that he can get Xiao Ying's rights; This third is naturally dry firewood encountering fire, one is a beautiful man and the other is a beautiful woman, one is fighting everywhere, and the other is alone in the empty boudoir.
It's a pity that the people next to the pillow have different dreams in the same bed, and Liang Luoyao is not reconciled to be pressed by Yelu Yixin forever, whether he is in bed or in power. On the one hand, she caters, and on the other hand, she takes the opportunity to default on the debt and accumulate strength.
Yelu Yixin naturally will not be idle, and Yelu Hongji's concubine Shan Deng, conspired with the emperor to use the ten incense words to make the emperor order the execution of the queen Xiao Guanyin, and gave Bai Aya a naked body wrapped in reeds. Shan Deng finally got his wish, that is, he took revenge and succeeded in ascending to the throne. Soon after, Yelu Yixin again succeeded in framing the prince Yelu Jun for rebellion and killed the prince in prison. In the fifth year of Dakang (1079), Yelu Yixin tried to eradicate the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi (the son of Yelu Jun), so as to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. But this time the plan was discovered by Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dao Sect, and Yelu Yixin was transferred out of the capital and the prince was removed.
This incident made Liang Luoyao more relaxed, and now except for Xiao Ying, who came to collect the debt regularly every month, she felt upset, and there was no one who could blackmail her. Fortunately, in more than ten years, Xiao Ying is also old, and people have seen it, every time he comes to the palace, he routinely reads the debts and interest, urges the emperor and the Empress Dowager Liang, and the rest of the time is to walk around in the territory of Western Xia, or live a retirement life in the so-called Liao Dynasty envoy's office outside Xingqing Mansion.
Sha Shiyan brought Gao Yu and Liang Yiqi to the territory of Western Xia easily and smoothly, Liang Yikui was accustomed to it, Gao Yu was really amazed that Sha Shiyan and the border soldiers brought the two in and out as if they were in a no-man's land. I think I was walking everywhere back then, but with the customs clearance on my body, I didn't have anything like this guy. Soon after entering Western Xia, he met the guards of the palace who had received news to pick up Liang Yiqi. Sha Shiyan took the horse and said, "Lord Liang, Master Gao, I will send you here!" We'll see you later. ”
"Brother Sha, wait, don't forget what I entrusted you!" Liang Yiqi instructed Sha Shiyan.
"I can't forget it, don't worry!" Sha Shiyan said that he arched his hand towards Gao Yu, turned around and galloped away.
Back at Helan Yuan Palace, the two rested for a while, and set off for Xingqing Mansion the next day. As time passes, Gao Yu and Liang Yikui seem to be closer and closer day by day, and this feeling is innate. It seems that the two of them have endless topics to talk about every day, rushing together during the day and chatting while drinking at night. Gao Yu didn't deliberately flatter him because the other party was the prince of Western Xia, but the inexplicable sense of closeness made the two get closer and closer, and gradually seemed to have something to talk about.
On this day, the two stayed at the post station on the way, and chatted while drinking. The topic talked about going to Yanzhou this time, Gao Yu asked Liang Yikui: "Do you know what this Shashiyan does?" ”
"Of course you know, you sell smuggled salt!"
"Did you know that it is illegal to sell smuggled salt? Aren't you afraid of being used by him? ”
Liang Yikui smiled and said: "Brother Gao, it is illegal to sell smuggled salt, but the people need them, in order to repay the debts in Western Xia over the years, most of the financial income is above the official salt, if there is no smuggling salt, what will the people eat?!" ”
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting! You seem to be dissatisfied with the court?! Gao Yu asked tentatively.
"I, I'm not dissatisfied with the court, I'm just following the trend, you want the government to ignore private salt, why should I care? Where does the private salt come from? Private individuals can't open salt farms, so many private salt sales, there are also Song Dynasty in Western Xia, where did it come from? ”
"Collusion between officials and privates!"
A crisp snap of his fingers, this is Liang Yikui's habitual action: "That's right! It's a bit ugly to say that collusion, it's better to say that it is officially instructed! ”
This kid is quite smart, Gao Yu also smiled: "On the surface, in order to repay debts and increase the price of salt to increase the income of the imperial court, Western Xia secretly instructed the sale of private salt to stabilize prices and people's hearts. ”
"On this issue, the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty actually have a tacit understanding, not to mention that these private salt merchants are familiar with the situation on the border on both sides, and now they are very powerful, as the border guards, they all use the benefits they can get to win them, do not cause trouble in peacetime, and use them in wartime. That's why they have this year's climate! ”
Gao Yu pointed at Liang Yiqi and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you kid can see the problem quite thoroughly, so you haven't thought of a way to solve the problem of Western Xia?" ”
"I can't think of it...... it's my turn" There seems to be a bit of resentment in these words.
"That's right! You're still too young! The king secretly observed this Liang Yiqi.
"Young? I think that the first emperor ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and the kings of the Song Dynasty came to our Western Xia on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty when they were eighteen years old. ”
"Haven't you also been to the Great Song Dynasty? Haha"
"I'm sneaking around! On behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, they came to negotiate trade as envoys. ”
"Isn't that easy? The Queen Mother is your aunt, and the Emperor is your cousin and brother-in-law. Why don't you just ask for an official position to do something big? ”
"Senior brother, you really don't know. I get along very well with the emperor, but the emperor is a puppet, and the queen mother has been in power since the death of the first emperor. How old were we! Why did the Empress Dowager imprison the emperor this time, not because she planned to assign the land south of the Yellow River to the Song Dynasty, and use a good method to use the power of the Song Dynasty to regain real power? ”
Wang put down his wine glass, looked at Liang Yiqi and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”
"Cut, how do I think it matters?" Liang Yi shrugged, eighteen or nineteen-year-olds are not very good at disguising themselves, he seems to mind that his ideas are not taken seriously.
"For the Queen Mother and the Emperor, it may not be important, but it is important to me!" Gao Yu encouraged Liang Yikui with a firm gaze.
"Alas, brother. How nice it would be if you weren't from Dali! ”
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know why, I just believe you inexplicably, I am willing to tell you what I have never said to others for so many years, including my opinion of the imperial court. But you are the messenger of Dali, sooner or later you will have to go back to Dali......"
Gao Yu put his hand on Liang Yiqi's shoulder: "Brother! Just for your trust in me, I decide! Don't go back to Dali. ”
"Really? But? Can you not go back? ”
"Of course I can, I made up my mind not to go back when I came out this time!"
"Why?!"
"Because...... Because Dali is unwilling to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty! My most beloved woman was sent to the emperor of the Song Dynasty in the Great Song Dynasty, you say, I am for my sweetheart, do I want to repay the hatred of taking my wife! ”
When did he become a fool, whatever, take one step at a time, you must let Liang Yikui stand on the same front with him.
Liang Yikui grabbed Gao Yu's hand and was very excited: "Brother Gao, I have only heard of this kind of tragic story but have never seen it, but now I finally know that there is such a tragedy in the world, and there is a person like Brother Gao." ”
"I've heard of it, I've never seen it, 25,000 miles. Some people say, if you don't do it, how can you know that it is not easy! Gao Yu sighed.
"Good word, what kind of word card is this?" Liang Yiqi asked with wide eyes.
"Self-created, self-created, I named it "New Long March"" Gao Yu felt that his sweat was about to come down. He hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "Now can you tell me what you think of the emperor's actions?" ”
Liang Yiqi drank all the wine in the cup and said, with the strength of the wine, he said: "The Liang family's dictatorship is hateful! The emperor ceded the land and sought power, sad! ”
This is like what the son of the current prime minister, the prince of Western Xia, should say, Gao Yu was also stunned, he didn't expect that this short evaluation was so sharp, so he had to look at Liang Yikui, who was usually a little childish.
Liang Yikui's face suddenly turned red: "Senior brother, I have been holding back my words for a long time, don't say it." ”
In the blink of an eye, he was like a ball, and his momentum just now was gone. Gao Yu sneered, after all, he was eighteen or nineteen years old, a child who grew up in a honeypot. But if this kid is well dialed, he will definitely have a future.
"What's wrong with you? You're right! So what do you want to do in the future? ”
"Since I've said it, I've said it all, I don't have any plans. It's good to be a prince now, although the queen mother never reuses me, but I can ride a horse on Helan Plain and dabble in it, and live a happy life. What's the use of thinking too much, it's impossible for me to bring soldiers with me. Besides, what about after I have done my best for the imperial court? Don't look at my father scolding the king, I don't think so, I've heard everything about the king, including his and his father's changes and innovations, how new. He did his best, but he didn't end well. And the emperor's uncle Li Xili is not too? He has been studying the culture of the Great Song Dynasty all his life, and has made so many suggestions to the imperial court, but in the end, he was not implicated in the emperor's east window incident, and he didn't even leave a whole corpse. ”
Gao Yu listened to Liang Yikui's words, and had mixed feelings in his heart, the young people saw things sharply, but the young did not have the blood of the older generation.
"If the Song army enters Western Xia, what will you do?" Gao Yu asked.
"Well, if you can't get in, I'll be my lord with peace of mind! If I get in, then I will fight desperately on the bloody battlefield and become famous. Anyway, it's better than being framed and killed in the court without knowing how to die. Look! ”
Liang Yiqi said that suddenly with a wrist, a dart flew out of his hand, and he heard a sound outside the door, and one person fell to the ground.
