[Thank you for the "Ten Less" tip!] Thank you for your continued support! \(^o^)/~】

It is said that Ding Zhaolan and the others played a trick in Xingqing, and used a simple version of a hot air balloon to "steal" the housewarming wife and children from Xingqing.

Although this "stealing people" operation was a complete success, it brought a result that Zhao Zhen did not expect.

This matter has to start from the third day after Ding Zhaolan and them stole people.

Since Ding Zhaolan and the others flew into the sky, Li Deming has always believed that the so-called "holy monk" will definitely bring back the elixir so that he can live forever. In order to best absorb the effects of the medicine, he decided to fast until then to empty his internal organs.

However, he didn't know that the so-called "holy monk" was a very undisciplined guy, and he never came back after fooling the old man, making people wait for him!

It is said that an imperial person like Li Deming should be very shrewd and unlikely to be deceived. However, this person's ability to distinguish is greatly reduced when he gets older, and he doesn't have much time to live, this person is a little afraid of death at this time. The representative figure of this is none other than the First Emperor!

Of course, this can't all be blamed on their stupidity, who let Wei Pu play something far beyond his time! Anyone who sees something beyond their own knowledge likes to put it next to God, which is commonly known as a miracle!

Li Deming lay on the bed weakly, waiting for the "holy monk" to come back, but unfortunately the "holy monk" did not wait for him to come back, but waited for his son to come back.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Wasn't the last time the child left? Li Yuanhao had just returned from Tubo, and he hurried to Li Deming's bed. Although he is more cold-blooded, he is not completely emotionless, when his father is no longer a threat to himself, he still has a little family affection in his heart!

Ahem, ahem!

Li Deming, with the support of Li Yuanhao, slowly changed from a lying position to a sitting position, and when he coughed enough and wheezed evenly, he slowly said to Li Yuanhao: "Father wants to wait for the holy monk to come back, wait for the holy monk to bring back the magic medicine, and the father's body will be fine!" Don't worry! ”

"Holy monk? What's going on here? Li Yuanhao was confused, but looking at his father's half-asleep state, he couldn't tell that he was ugly, so he simply asked from Li Deming's personal guard: "Tell me, what has happened during this time?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guard knelt on one knee and said to him: "Just half a month ago, a group of monks suddenly came from the Song Dynasty, claiming to be eminent monks who went to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures......

After the guard had narrated the whole thing without embellishment, Li Yuanhao waved his hand at him and motioned for him to climb away.

And he thought about it himself, and he didn't come up with any clue, if he really pressed the guards, this matter was simply too bizarre, not to mention those little tricks, but this last ascension can't fool people!

So, he had no choice but to ask Wang Qiu, "What do you think?" Could it really be that such a holy monk with boundless Dharma exists? ”

Wang Qiu: "Your Highness, your subordinates think this matter is a bit strange, think about it, let's not say anything else, just say this so-called 'holy monk', why did he want to take away his wife and children?" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Is there anything wrong with this?" Wouldn't any god give sacrifices, it only needs two people, and it's very merciful! ”

Wang Qiu: "No, no, no! Your Highness, there is something that my subordinates have not told you clearly, this housewarming is an important person sent by his subordinates to the Song Dynasty to make trouble, he is originally a Song person, or a small showman, and his subordinates feel that he is more familiar with the situation of the Song Dynasty to let him sabotage, but he is afraid that he will be half-hearted, so he controls his wife and children...... So, you understand? ”

Li Yuanhao: "According to your meaning, this time it was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who sent someone to rescue them!" This is impossible, even if you find that guy named Qiao to join the Song Dynasty, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty Emperor Xiao'er to make such a big effort to save two people? ”

Wang Qiu: "Logically speaking, this should be impossible, but my subordinates feel that there is no other explanation." ”

Li Yuanhao: "Then tell me what happened to those people flying away?" ”

Wang Qiu: "Your Highness, my subordinates just listened to the situation described by the guards, and I feel that they should be using a large Kong Ming lantern. ”

"Kong Ming lantern?" Li Yuanhao hesitated for a moment: "You seem to have a bit of truth in what you said!" In this way, wasn't my father deceived by them, that is a holy monk and an impostor? ”

Wang Qiu nodded: "I'm afraid so!" ”

"Nope! No! No way! The holy monk will definitely come back, the holy monk will definitely come back, and he will definitely come back......" Li Deming, who had fallen into a state of confusion, heard the conversation between the two, and instantly became crazy, and kept roaring loudly until his voice became smaller and smaller......

Li Yuanhao hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Father, calm down!" Calm down! Wang Qiu, go and call the imperial doctor! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

I don't know if Wang Qiu did it on purpose, or if the imperial doctor was too old to walk, all in all, when Wang Qiu came with the imperial doctor for a leisurely stroll, Li Deming couldn't wait for the arrival of the "miracle medicine", and hurriedly followed the footsteps of his ancestors.

Alas! It's called not being immortal! You said that at such an age, your body is not strong, and you still play on a diet, isn't that death! I can't blame others!

After Li Yuanhao buried his father, under the careful arrangement of Wang Qiu, he smoothly took over the position of his father's Xia Guogong with a heavy and joyful mood, and officially became the supreme leader of Western Xia.

Because of his childhood coveting of the Song Dynasty, coupled with the fact that his father's death was inseparable from the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao took dealing with the Song Dynasty as his basic national policy at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and actively prepared for the founding of the country.

One day, after Li Yuanhao went down to the court, he didn't know what he was stimulated, so he grabbed Wang Qiu and asked directly: "Wang Qiu, this king asks you, if this king wants to build a country and become the emperor, can it?" ”

"Founding the country and becoming the emperor?" Wang Qiu rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "Grandpa Guo, it is said that we are now strong and strong, with a wide territory, the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north, more than 20,000 miles. In fact, a three-legged situation has been formed with the Song and Liao. If you want to be the emperor at this time, it's not impossible, but the minister thinks it's still waiting. ”

Li Yuanhao: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Wang Qiu said mysteriously: "Wait for the ministers to give you a big gift!" ”

Li Yuanhao: "What kind of gift?" Since the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent someone to rescue the housewarming family, this thing must be backwater, and those people you send are probably out of play, what tricks can you play? ”

Wang Qiu: "You're right, the ministers don't count on those people, although they didn't succeed, at least they still added back to the Song people, and it was worth the money." However, the people sent by the minister to the Liao State performed well, listening to their reports, the two brothers of the Liao Shengzong who originally looked like Shenli would not only be separated from the gods, but also not match their appearance, it is estimated that when the Liao Shengzong closed his eyes, they would pinch up. As for the great gift given to you by the minister, please allow the minister to sell a pass, although you are preparing for the emperor, when the minister's gift arrives, it is the best time for you to ascend the throne! ”

Li Yuanhao: "This king listens to you again!" Now Tibet has also become a stalemate, and it will be difficult to do anything for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, this king also reorganized the interior, trained more troops, and at the same time formed a 'proton army' with the relatives of the heads of various departments, so that those old guys could figure out that this territory had the final say! ”

"The king is wise!" Wang Qiu lost no time in slapping a sycophant.

……

Subsequently, Li Yuanhao began to knead the ideal empire in his heart.

First of all, Li Yuanhao considered that his territory was seized through war, and the perennial war made the people on those new territories miserable, and he desperately hoped to live a peaceful life. Therefore, he did what he liked, and internally implemented the national policy of uniting Yebo and Tibet, and consolidating and expanding the foundation of his rule.

Secondly, Li Yuanhao also made efforts in ideological rule, he abandoned the "etiquette and righteousness" thought of Song Confucianism, and adopted the utilitarian ideology that adapted to the current situation of the party and the "rule of law" theory of the pre-Qin Legalists. The first is to get rid of the people's dependence on the culture of the Song Dynasty, and the second is to stimulate the radical emotions of the people.

In the end, Li Yuanhao also made appropriate military adjustments, and reorganized the tribal soldiers on the basis of the original militia integration.

The original party clan is called one account, the small clan has hundreds of accounts, and the big clan has thousands of accounts. The clan is over 15 years old to under 60 years old, and they come out to help in wartime, and they are engaged in production in peacetime, they bring their own weapons and food, and the battle comes with the point of collection.

It is conceivable that the combat effectiveness of this form of militia is relatively low. This could not meet Li Yuanhao's need to dominate the Central Plains, so he set up a rule, that is, from the two dings, select a strong one called the regular army, and the weak one was organized as an auxiliary soldier. Before and after, he trained a total of almost 500,000 tribal soldiers.

Although Li Yuanhao's army still has a lot of gaps with Song Liao in terms of numbers, this baby has scored extra points for herself in diplomacy.

After consulting with Wang Qiu and other aides, he came up with a new diplomatic strategy, which was different from his grandfather's policy of uniting Liao to resist the Song Dynasty, and different from the policy of peaceful coexistence with the Song and Liao during his father's time. Instead, according to actual interests, they adapt to the situation, contend with the Song and Liao, and change according to the changes in the strength and weakness of the two countries. To put it simply, it is to see who breaks the cow, and make it with the other, until you make a profit from it and slowly grow stronger.

……

"What? Li Deming's old man is hanging? ”

An exclamation resounded in the vertical arch hall of the Great Song Palace, and Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Zhong with a surprised expression.

Zhao Zhong replied very calmly: "Yes, the emperor! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Then how is the situation of the Xia people now?" Could it be that Li Yuanhao's kid became the supreme leader of the Xia region? ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhong nodded slightly: "Li Yuanhao successfully took over his father's position, and there was nothing special during the period. Recently, his movements in Tibet have also slowed down, and he has built a defensive line there, confronting the other Tibetan tribes with the Tusi Mabu, and the skirmishes have never stopped, but no large-scale battles have been launched. He also withdrew part of his army and stationed it outside Xingqing, as if urging the tribal soldiers of the various tribes in his jurisdiction to reorganize, and the movement was quite big. ”

Zhao Zhen: "Could it be that this thing wants to imitate me, and what kind of military reform will it be?" ”

Zhao Zhong: "This minister is not clear, and the spies have not yet made a specific report on his adaptation." However, when you talk about imitation, this Li Yuanhao really has something imitating you! ”

Zhao Zhen: "What is it?" ”

Zhao Zhong: "According to the report from the spies, Li Yuanhao has recently tinkered with a 'Daxia Research Institute', and also arrested a large number of craftsmen and threw them inside, the person in charge of this research institute is a Han man named Wang Qiu who took refuge in Li Yuanhao?" ”

"Wang Qiu?" Zhao Zhen tilted his head and thought for a while: "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." ”

Zhao Zhong prompted: "You forgot to move!" ”

"Oh, yes! I remembered, he said it. Zhao Zhen suddenly realized: "Have the spies found out what Li Yuanhao's 'Great Xia Research Institute' is doing?" ”

Zhao Zhong: "This is really there!" It may be that they don't know the secrecy yet, and the spies didn't have much effort to buy the people inside. According to them, Li Yuanhao wants to make a super-large Kong Ming lantern that can carry people, and there is a repeater that imitates us. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Yo! It seems that this little Haozi was stimulated by me! This is to give up barbarism and play civilization, which is worthy of praise! ”

Zhao Zhong: "Your Majesty, don't you have to worry about it?" ”

"Is it useful to worry?" Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically: "Instead of worrying about others catching up, it's better to speed up your pace." In the final analysis, self-development is the last word! (To be continued.) )
