The story of the palace in Western Xia: To sum up, it is one word "chaos", a line in the thousands of threads, that is, because of the incident, Li Yuanhao's abuse led to the prince's murder of his father; did not hide the queen's abuse, which led to the killing of male pets; The Liang family went out of the wall and contributed to the bloodbath of Li Liangzuo's in-laws; And now, between Li Liangzuo and Liang Luoyao, some gaps only need to be lightly picked, and it is a palace chaos.

"So, is Gong Li afraid that I will be in prison and not know it, so he said this beautiful man's plan?" The king asked.

Li Xili recovered from the bloody storm of this palace, and he said truthfully: "I can't hide it, to invite the prince is indeed to figure out the queen's admiration for the literati of the Song Dynasty, so I want to find a suitable candidate, take the opportunity to provoke Li Liangzuo's suspicion, and abolish the Liang family." But after talking with the prince for many days, I really found that the prince was a talent, so he wanted to learn from Wang Yun, and the conspiracy turned into a conspiracy. Even if it is a plan, it is also a yang plan for Diao Chan, and he can also know how to deal with and withdraw. ”

Wang Bi knew that what Li Xili said was the truth, and the key was not what Li Xili thought, but Li Xili's character, which was really weak, and scheming was not his forte at all. As for Wang Bei, the purpose of his trip was to find stones, since the prince is the incarnation of the white stone god, how can he see the prince if he is not close to the queen.

Instead of letting Li Xili sway, it is better to take the initiative and let Li Xili cooperate so that there is more space. Why bother to be at the mercy of others, simply sell personal favors to Li Xili, and do what you want to do, thinking of this, Wang said: "Thank you Li Gong for telling me the truth today, but has Li Gong ever thought that I am a native of the Song Dynasty, in case this matter is not only a mistake, or it will lead to chaos, I think that Li Gong's identity is not afraid of falling into the infamy of the Western Xia Kingdom through the ages?" ”

"This ......" Wang Bi did say that Li Xili was in his heart, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Wang Fang thought to himself, this Liang Luoyao is advocating the culture of the Song Dynasty, not to mention that he has Liang Yi buried by his side, and if he comes, he will be safe, and he can't send it to the door by himself. He saw that Li Xili was silent, if this person was still shaking, he was also dangerous, so it was better to choose an opportunity to talk about it. "If you can talk to Master Li so far, you can be regarded as a confidant, and when you get to Xingqing Mansion, the younger brother will try his best to communicate."

Hearing Wang Bian say this, Li Xili was relieved that Wang Bian would not betray himself, he was not sure what Wang Bian thought, but he couldn't continue to ask, and thought in his heart: "Wang Bian, you are so self-conscious, everything is left to fate." ”

Before he knew it, Li Xili's carriage came to Xingqing Mansion. At the foot of Helan Mountain, the ancient Huaiyuan town on the shore of the Yellow River became Xingzhou after the Dangxiang Qiang people set up the capital. The Western Xia was born from here, and it also radiated from here, and gradually became the boundary of the Dangxiang Qiang.

Yuan Hao changed the name of Song Mingdao to Xiandao on the grounds of avoiding his father Deming's name, which marked his beginning to use his own era name. Two months after the implementation of the baldness order, Yuan Hao changed the Xingzhou named after his father to Xingzhou Mansion, designated it as the capital, and began to build a large number of palaces and palaces. In this way, a small town under Helan Mountain, during the Western Xia period, soon became the capital of the Western Xia and the political, cultural, economic, and military center of the entire Western Xia Kingdom.

Li Xili wanted to ask Wang Pan to come to his house, but Wang Fang felt disturbed, and he himself felt that it was inconvenient for him to act, so at Wang Bei's insistence, Li Xili arranged for Wang Pan and others to live in the pavilion, and the next day Wang Bei asked the coachman who came to deliver the fragrant cakes to return to the Song Kingdom first to bring a letter to his family to report his safety.

In the next few days, Li Xili led the king to visit the capital of Western Xia, various temples, and the Fan Han Academy. In the college, because Wang Pan is the founder of "Cloud Pick", he is particularly sought after by students. Fortunately, it was Cai Jing who came with the king this time, Cai Jing's skills, good calligraphy and painting. Whenever there was an exchange, the king said indifferently: "Let my scholar write a few words." ”

There are a few people who don't know the famous calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty "Su Huang Rice Cuisine", Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Di, and Cai Jing. It can be seen that Cai Jing's attainments in calligraphy and painting. However, Cai Jing himself didn't know, and people at that time didn't know that Cai Jing was already a recognized celebrity for future generations. However, the calligraphy and painting of the scholar next to the king have been recognized in the Fan Han Academy. For a time, the fact that the king came here caused a sensation in the pro-Song faction of Xingqing Mansion.

There is an endless stream of people who come to visit the king every day, not only from the people, but also from the Han officials in the court of Zaixia. Privately, through Li Xili, Wang Pan got acquainted with some high-ranking Han officials, and here Wang Pan paid the most attention to: the deputy envoy of the Qunmu Division: Wu Hao; Official affairs of Kaifeng Mansion: Xue Yuanli; Zhang Jiang, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and Xu Min, the envoy of Yantie.

Wang Bi stayed in Xixia for more than half a month, and he was busy entertaining every day, nothing more than talking about Yunxuan's calligraphy and painting, and Yunxuan's tea culture. Or during the banquet, let Cai Jing show his hand a little, this kid's calligraphy and painting are idiots. But at the same time, Cai Jing's foodies are not for nothing, what Wang Fang asked Cai Jing to reveal was not to sit on the table to eat, but to use his own cooking utensils to show one or two hot fried side dishes that Wang Fang instructed Cai Jing when he was in Bianjing.

Now there are more people who come to see the king. Every day is a social interaction, even Cai Jingjing complained, he took the list of people he copied back from the post cabinet, and while ticking the names of the people he wanted to see the day after tomorrow, he muttered: "Childe, we have been here for so many days, when will we see people like this every day?" ”

Wang Bi drank tea to relieve the smell of wine, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to see it, you won't have to check it the day after tomorrow." ”

Cai Jing has been helping the king arrange the people to meet in the past few days, and every day he selects a few copies from the prayer posts on the cabinet of the post to be enthroned, and arranges them for the next day. Then they put it back on the cupboard, and basically everyone who came to visit the king would come to see if they had themselves. He is a little careful, looking at the official position first, and then the department to which he belongs. Wang Bian knew that Cai Jing was doing the work of a secretary, and occasionally Wang Bian also looked and found that Cai Jing's secretarial work was still doing well.

Cai Jing was choosing, happy in his heart, after so many days, he could finally take a day off, and he would not arrange anything tomorrow, and the son finally agreed to go for a walk on the street. However, he suddenly saw a greeting post, and hurriedly said: "Childe, come out, the name you said you were waiting for came out, and said that you would be picked up to his house, this, do you want to arrange for tomorrow." ”

When Wang heard Cai Jing say this, he put down the tea cup in his hand and walked closer, and it was indeed written on the worship note that it was the Minister of State Liang Yi who asked Cai Jing to pay attention to.

After seeing the Western Xia, the level of the characters next to Wang was getting higher and higher, although they were mainly Han Chinese, but occasionally there were one or two Western Xia officials, such as Ye Weima, Renduo Baozhong, and those with compound surnames. It seems that whether it is the Yeli family or the Wuzang family, after two civil strife, their popularity in the sphere of influence of the Western Xia court has been greatly damaged. However, with the name of the king, the legend in the Western Xia officialdom, Liang Yibury and Liang Luoyao couldn't sit still.

Liang Luoyao and Liang Yibury, originally a Li Xili would obediently send Wang to come, but they didn't expect Wang to come to Western Xia, just a normal cultural exchange, but they didn't come to meet the power, but some of these officials ran to see Wang, Liang Luoyao became more and more curious. Liang Yibury became more and more annoyed.

If the king comes to Xixia and sends it directly to them, it will not have any impact, and now it took less than a month for this outsider to have a little fame in Xixia, and Liang Yi is not easy to start, not to mention that his sister has spoken, you go to see what kind of person this king is, why don't you come to see the deity.

Liang Yi asked his queen sister: "This person is so disrespectful, do you want to?" ……”

The queen's sister glared, and Liang Yi buried herself and went to send a greeting to the king.

When the king saw the post, he sneered and said to Cai Jing: "Tomorrow, according to what we said, I will take you around this place." This is for Liang Yi to bury the prime minister, and he will not arrange it if he does not see the third letter. ”

Cai Jing's eyes widened: "Childe, this is the minister of the Xia Kingdom." ”

Haha, what is the prime minister afraid of, his subordinates are defeated. Wang Bi thought so in his heart, not to mention that the prime minister had already begun to send a message of worship, that is, he was under pressure, so why not let him be under more pressure.

Relax and rest for a day, and before seeing the prime minister again, the king should take a good look at Western Xia.

The emperors of the Western Xia Dynasty were built with reference to the architectural model of the Song Dynasty, and were directly affected by the layout of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and Kaifeng City in the Northern Song Dynasty, the city was rectangular, more than 18 miles in circumference, and the moat was 10 zhang wide; two gates in the north and south, one in the east and west; The road is in a grid shape, the street is wider, and there are more than 20 neighborhoods such as Chongyi.

Cai Jing walked around the street to see the novelty, this building didn't arouse his much interest, he suddenly saw so many strangely dressed Xixia people, secretly laughing at the special head shape of the Xixia people on the street. However, fortunately, the Han people here also account for a certain proportion, so that the two of them will not look different in this environment.

The king didn't notice this, this Xingqing Mansion has a certain scale of imperial city, and the royal palace gardens in the city occupy a large area; With the Imperial Castle as the center, the surrounding government offices, feudal and Han colleges, and various temples were built along with the trend. Wang found that there were many religious places in Xingqing Mansion. This is probably because the Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, and Li Liangzuo was also a worshipper of Buddhism.

The imperial city then goes to the outer city, the workshops are born because of the city, the restaurants are built along the streets, the bungalows are built around the palace, and the ordinary residents are densely distributed in dozens of neighborhoods, all of which are low earthen houses or earthen houses.

Wang Pan was not very interested in these buildings; I also didn't have much interest in those costumes that Cai Jing, a native of the Song Dynasty, looked like. He wandered around the market, and the attractions that aroused his interest were naturally not the clothing and architecture. On the street, there is a kind of shop in Western Xia, which specializes in selling knives, swords and other weapons.

In the Song Dynasty, swords were regulated, and there were very few people who carried swords and swords on the streets, and even fewer put swords in front of blacksmith shops. But in this place, there are all kinds of swords on the counter in front of the blacksmith shop, and when you walk near the shop, you can hear the sound of clanging iron. Obviously, behind the storefront, there is a hot iron furnace.

The Tangut people were brave and fierce, especially the swords were not controlled, and there were often people with swords and swords on the streets. From this point of view, it is no wonder that Liang Yi was buried in Kaifeng back then, carrying a Songwen sword with him. Thinking so, Wang stopped in front of the blacksmith's shop, looked at the sword on the counter, and picked up a random one to look at.

The shopkeeper saw that the two people next to the king were looking at the knife, and hurriedly greeted the king to look at the goods on the cabinet: "This son, you will know the goods at a glance, this knife is good steel." He pointed to a knife that the king had just picked up.

Wang Bi also saw that this knife was different, and just about to ask the price, a few Xixia people came over, one of them was bald, with a felt hat, sideburns and hair, and two big earrings. He pouted and approached, looked at the sword beside the king, and said, "How many taels of silver is this, I want it!" ”

The king saw this man with short eyebrows and small eyes, a narrow nose, a hooked nose, and high cheekbones; Rolling his sleeves, he leaned over to look at the knife in his hand, he didn't have any good feelings in his heart, and was about to put down the knife and turn around. Suddenly, I heard the shopkeeper say: "Oh, I'm really sorry, this knife has already been paid." ”

The man looked at the king, turned his head and said viciously to the shopkeeper: "Old man He, I warn you, don't think that you don't sell my good knife, I can't do anything about you." ”

The shopkeeper surnamed He was in his fifties, and he said with a smile: "Where did Childe go, now this knife has really been sold to Childe." ”

Then he waved his hand to the king and said, "Since the prince has paid the money, take it quickly." ”

Cai Jing looked at Wang Bian, Wang Bian looked at the knife in his hand, and wondered in his heart, this support was not given away in vain, this knife is a good knife, but he knows very little about weapons, is there something wrong here?
