Wang Bian came to Western Xia as a messenger, and according to common sense, he should go to see the emperor and queen first, but Wang Bian went against reason and has not set foot in the palace for half a step so far. Wang Fang was not idle during this time, he had already brought his influence to Western Xia, and the entire Xingqing Mansion, regardless of officials, businessmen, literati and scholars, knew that there was a messenger named Wang Pan in the Song Dynasty to visit. Even Cai Jing was arrogant, so he didn't bury Liang Yi in his eyes.

Wang Bian did this because of Wang Bian's own thoughts: The Yan History in the Xixia Palace is so chaotic, especially Li Xili has already made it clear that the idea of a beautiful man's plan, although it has not been implemented, Wang Bian does not want to wade into this troubled water. Besides, he has to beware of this Liang Yi buried, he knows this in his heart, and now that he is in the open, the other party must be more careful in the dark.

Wang Bi has an idea, this trip to Xixia is ostensibly arranged by Li Xili, so that if there are any problems that Li Xili can solve, but it will not make it difficult for Li Xili, for example, Li Xili wants Wang to see the queen, Wang Bi just said, the queen was not summoned, and the emperor is not in the palace, so it is inappropriate to rush to see him.

Liang Luoyao did not summon Wang because Liang Luoyao has always been arrogant. Although she admired Sinology culture, she was unwilling to deign to summon a business envoy. She was waiting for the king to come and meet and kill the king's sharp spirit, but this wait has waited until now. Not only that, but the twists and turns of the past few days have also given her a headache, and the mountain of green salt in the market is completely impossible to sell, not only that, but even the party horses can't be sold.

The reason for this is that the Song State has strengthened the vigilance on the border and completely banned smuggling, and in the past year, the officials on the border of the Song State have been transferred, and the new officials have been burned again and again, not only closing the trade routes, but also strictly guarding the smuggling transportation. The economic sources on which Western Xia depended were horses and salt. Salt could be piled up, but horses consumed a huge amount of pasture resources, and the livelihood of the people was threatened, so she began to turn her attention to Wang Bian, and perhaps through Wang Bian, she could once again open the way to trade with the Song Dynasty.

But Liang Luoyao also has a problem, that is, the emperor Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo is aggressive by nature and always thinks that everything must be solved by force, which is often disagreed between the two, which is also one of the reasons why Li Liangzuo alienated Liang Luoyao.

Liang Luoyao was undecided for state affairs; Li Liangzuo is about to return to Xingqing Mansion; Li Xili is worried about the future; Liang Yi buried and Ji Laqing wanted to repair the king's side. There are thousands of threads twisted together, and there is only one person, quietly observing the changes in this, and that is the king. He analyzed the national strength of Western Xia, visited the commercial market to understand prices, and observed cultural and folk customs.

After meeting Manba, Wang Bei made a bold decision, he wanted to meet Li Liangzuo first. What kind of character is this person who became the emperor almost the same age as himself.

Wang came out of the Manba Mansion and went straight to He Xingyuan's blacksmith shop, and he asked He Xingyuan to build a charcoal pot overnight according to his drawings, the shape of which is our modern people, a charcoal-fired hot pot with shabu-shabu. Let He Xingyuan be sent to Guan Yi early in the morning.

When He Xingyuan sent the charcoal pot to the pavilion, Manba's carriage and horses also arrived at the pavilion, and Wang Bei and Manba rode high-headed horses, followed by Manba's personal soldiers who were driving. They left Xingqing Mansion and headed in the direction of Helan Mountain.

Wang Pan didn't want to bring a pot on a whim, and Man Baa told Wang Pan that the young emperor didn't like the constraints of the palace, after all, he was still young, and he had to come up with new ideas for eating, drinking, and having fun, so as to arouse his interest. Since Wang Bi is proficient in food, it is better to take advantage of Li Liangzuo's stationing outside the city and waiting for the dawn to enter the city, and offer food to get Li Liangzuo's favor.

This emperor does not enter the city when he arrives in the city, he can enter at any time when he arrives, and he must pay attention to auspicious days. Therefore, even if you arrive outside the city early, you have to temporarily station, not to mention that you will receive the emperor into the city, Xingqing Mansion will also have a loess mat road, clean water splashing the street, and the people will kneel to welcome it, and there will be a ceremony.

At this time, Liang Yi was still in a dream of planning to frame Wang Bei, and after he woke up, he decided to go to the pavilion to invite Wang Bei in person. Anyway, he is the minister of state, can the king dare to refuse him? He thought very well, and came to find the king in plain clothes, and without revealing his identity, he quietly brought the king into the palace. When he leads Wang Bian to the "Guanghan Gate", as long as Wang Bian enters, it will be a trespass on the forbidden land, and then a soldier from Yi Wei Si will come out to catch Wang Bian.

Thinking about his plan, he was happy, Liang Yiburi, as the minister of state and the elder brother of Empress Liang Luoyao, could naturally enter and leave the palace at will. The identity of Ji Ralei is the commander of the Ma Budu of the Yi Wei Division, and the Yi Wei Division is mainly responsible for the command, training, guards, garrisons and guards of the domain guards.

Liang Yi buried and joined forces with Ji Laqing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to subdue a small king. Although he had to put down his body a little, in order to repair the king's side, he came to the pavilion in a hurry.

When Liang Yi buried, Cai Jing was packing his luggage, and he had an explanation before Wang left in the morning, and they would be able to return to Bianjing in a few days. Cai Jing was happy while cleaning up, and he was finally about to leave this ghost place. There are too few places to play here, and there are no friends who can play with Cai Jing. Every day, I either follow my son around, or I am bored in the guest room.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Cai Jing put down the work in his hand and opened the door to be a very naïve person, twenty or thirty years old, thin and tall in Han costume. Cai Jing is strange, usually some Han scholars come to find Wang, most of them are left by the shopkeeper, why did he come up by himself today?

Liang Yibury opened his mouth and asked: "This little boy, your prince is in the pavilion." Cai Jing politely bowed his hand back: "Childe is not here, go out early in the morning, this adult can leave a name post, I will wait for Childe to come back and hand it to him." ”

To Cai Jing's surprise, the people who came didn't seem to hear that Gongzi was not there, but pushed open the door and walked into the room, saying, "Wang Gongzi is here?" "Straight in. came in and looked around, and saw that Cai Jing was not hiding from him, so he laughed: "Wang Gongzi is out of the way, I'll wait for him here." So saying, he sat down on a stool beside the table.

Seeing it like this, there is a feeling that he won't leave if he doesn't see the king, Cai Jing is helpless, how can there be such a person. But I didn't know where the other party came from, and it was not easy to coax outside, so I continued to do the work at hand. Liang Yi sat for a while and felt bored, and accosted Cai Jing without saying anything, Cai Jing just politely replied with a sentence or two, and didn't know anything else, and finally Liang Yi couldn't sit still: "Where did your son-in-law go?" ”

Cai Jing still said: "I don't know, or you will leave a famous post." ”

Originally, he came to find Wang in person, Liang Yi buried it enough to nest the fire, and he had to talk to a scholar, but he finally couldn't help it, and lowered his face: "Little scholar, do you know who I am?" I am the Minister of State Liang Yiburied, you quickly tell me where your son-in-law is, otherwise it will ruin your son-in-law's good deeds, and you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

It's good that he didn't mention that he was the minister of state, but as soon as he said that he was Liang Yiburied, Cai Jing pouted, glanced up and down, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that the son was reluctant to see him, and he didn't look like a minister of state. They all came to invite the son in person, and what else did they pose. Thinking so, he said: "I really don't know where Childe has gone, I'm a scholar, and Childe won't tell me where he goes." ”

Liang Yi buried it and saw that it was meaningless to talk to Cai Jingduo, and regretted why he didn't ask more when he went upstairs, and when he went downstairs to inquire, he found out that Wang Bian followed Man out of the city. Liang Yi stomped his feet, this kid next to the king was really lucky.

At this time, the team that greeted Wang Jia by Manba and Wang had already walked more than ten miles, and Manba's estimate was right, and at noon, they finally saw a team of people and horses coming from the opposite side. This pair of men and horses is the march of Xia Yizong and Li Liangzuo.

At the front of the march was two standard-bearers, behind the standard-bearers was a young man, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, wearing a black crown, wearing a bow and arrows, riding a tall horse, behind this young man was more than a hundred cavalry, behind there were hundreds of guards and foot soldiers, Zhang raised the blue three covers to accompany him, and behind the march was a convoy of horses transporting supplies and tents. Such a team of people surrounded Li Liangzuo, showing off their might.

Manba and the others hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and he ordered the king and his entourage to wait in place, and he himself stepped forward. Li Liangzuo was very happy when he saw that he was coming to greet him. Manba is a veteran hero of the Xia Kingdom, and he made great contributions to annihilating the plan to frame Li Liangzuo back then.

The two teams of soldiers and one place, Manba and Li Liangzuo walked side by side, Wang and Manba's entourage followed behind Li Liangzuo's march, and walked a few miles in the direction of Xingqing Mansion, and the brigade stopped.

The emperor of Western Xia was different from the Han people, they were the first tribal leaders, and they were accustomed to running around and fighting, even if the emperor marched, he would be stationed at any time wherever he went.

After a while, tents were erected on the hills, and the tents were made of cowhide and coated with tung oil, which not only protected from rain and snow, but also kept warm. One of these tents is particularly conspicuous, much larger than the general tent, Wang Fang knows that is where Li Liangzuo is, Wang Fang first saw the so-called encampment in the Song Dynasty, think about the team of only a few hundred soldiers, if it really fights, the two armies face each other, into a group of camps, what a spectacular scene it must be.

In the midst of sighing, he saw Manba walking towards him, greeted him and said, "Prince Wang, the emperor is resting, I will see you later, you can prepare." ”

Wang Bei thanked the old general, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of the old general's kind words." Wang Bei just saw Li Liangzuo, and felt very surprised, in his impression, they all said that Li Liangzuo was fierce and cunning, and he rarely even heard of the description of Li Liangzuo's outside.

Looking back on the Western Xia and seeing these people: Li Xili did not feel like an ordinary Fan next to the king, but was polite and polite. Manba is quite brave, although he is a little older, but there is no lack of boldness and rudeness. Ji Laqing is a bun that has not grown, his face is not likable, and he is brave and strategic. It was Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo who surprised Wang Bian, after all, he gave Wang Bian the impression that he was brave and ruthless, but he didn't expect that he was indeed a young man who did not wear a yellow robe but a white robe.
