Empress Dowager Liang tried to consolidate her crumbling power through a great purge of Xian, and her goal was basically achieved.

But it also brought a catastrophe to the Eighth Department of the Party, and at the same time caused a big rift in the relationship between Western Xia and Liao.

There were many nobles in the three tribes of Wei Ming, Xi Feng, and Xiang Li who secretly communicated with the Liao State, hoping that the Liao State would help them regain imperial power from the Liang family;

And Empress Dowager Liang was defeated again and again in the Song war, which was also not in the interests of the Liao State, so the Liao State also intended to return the Western Xia imperial power.

As a result, the Empress Dowager Liang took the lead and purged the people who opposed her ruling in the eight party departments, and vigorously promoted Liang's confidants.

Many of the eight party departments defected to the Great Song Dynasty, and some defected to the Uighurs in Xizhou, all of which were sufficient. There is also a part to Ritchhei, which occupies the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town, which is north of Suzhou and downstream of weak water, and is self-contained.

Here is surrounded by desert, only a green corridor formed by the weak water north, the geographical location is very conducive to defense, the Empress Dowager Liang is unable to clear it for a while, and the Liqiguang has a great tendency to develop and grow here.

Judging from the information sent back by Xizuo, this winter in Western Xia will be extremely difficult, due to the lack of materials, a large number of refugees are unable to resettle, have no food and clothing, freeze to death and starve to death, even outside Xingqing Mansion, there are also corpses and bones;

In order to survive, many people had to be bandits and thieves, looting everywhere, and many people fled to the Great Song Dynasty with their families, and Huanzhou received hundreds of Xixia refugees sporadically.

The Great Song Dynasty did not lack population, but Western Xia lacked, and population was the most important strategic resource in Western Xia.

War is war, and you can do everything you can during the war, but for these Western Xia refugees who fled, the northwest roads tried their best to resettle and try their best to promote the name of benevolence and righteousness of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, there is also the intention of attracting as many Western Xia refugees as possible.

Empress Dowager Liang passed a set of sharp combination punches, and her own power position was temporarily stabilized, but the Western Xia court was not stabilized because of this, and a greater crisis was buried.

His henchmen and his mother's family are in charge of the army and the government, which seems to be very appropriate, but she does not have Xiao Yanyan's skill of training her lover and son to love each other.

Liang Gefang, the representative of the Liang family, has long seen the essence of Western Xia. In Western Xia, military power was everything.

Western Xia is not like the Great Song Dynasty, those who hold knives are one head shorter than those who hold pens, no, a few heads shorter. Western Xia is a system in which all the people are soldiers, in other words, it is equivalent to saying that if you master the military power, you will control the whole people, and you will control everything.

Liang Gefang was willing to give up his civilian position and run to take charge of the army, but now that the Empress Dowager Liang has transferred him back to the government, he has no military power in his hands, how can he be willing?

Who is the military power of Western Xia now? The answer is Rindo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu.

Then things are simple, and Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu have become enemies of the Liang family.

The bloody smell of Empress Dowager Liang's purge of the party has not yet dissipated, and in the Western Xia court, between Empress Dowager Liang's mother's family and her henchmen, the open and secret struggle has reached a white heat, and there is a tendency to get rid of it quickly.

What can Empress Dowager Liang do? You don't have to do another purge, do you? It can only try to play balance, but if it can't balance, it will let Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu avoid going to Tiandu Mountain.

Empress Dowager Liang's idea is very simple, since one mountain does not allow two tigers, I will divide you into two mountains, see how you still fight? Moreover, the two famous generals of Western Xia were stationed in Tiandu Mountain, which was also conducive to dispatching troops nearby to defend the Song army.

Not to mention, Empress Dowager Liang's trick really works, since Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu went to Tiandu Mountain, Xingqing Mansion has finally been quieter! Empress Dowager Liang can also live a comfortable life for a few days!

The self-repair ability of the Great Song Dynasty is extremely strong, especially in Huanzhou, thanks to the relationship between Yang Yi and the important ministers in the court, Huanzhou has to take care of a lot, like those captured booty, ordinary officials do not dare to use a large amount of relief for the people before the approval of the imperial court, but Yang Yi dares, so the recovery speed of Huanzhou is faster.

Now walking around Huanzhou, you can't believe that this place has just been damaged by war a few months ago, and now there are two pillar industries in Huanzhou, one is refined salt, refined salt has enriched the government; The second is the fragrant pig produced in Huanzhou, which has enriched the people.

The charm of idols is endless! After Su Dongpo and Yang Yi boasted, Huanzhou fragrant pig was already well-known in the Great Song Dynasty, of course, this fragrant pork quality is indeed delicious;

Yang Yi's song "Like a Dream Order", what safflower Poria ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum Xianlulan root, four seasons through the intestines, leaving the essence of the body, the Huanzhou fragrant pig is praised as extremely magical, people eat Huanzhou fragrant pig, what they think of is health, so it can not be a hot sale!

Nowadays, many people in Huanzhou are mainly engaged in raising fragrant pigs, this kind of fragrant pigs are different from other domestic pigs, it is free-range, without consuming a lot of grains to feed, Huanzhou is mountainous, is suitable for a large number of stocking.

There is also its price is several times more expensive than ordinary pigs, although only about 20 catties a head, but the income is not much less than raising a pig, the people of Huanzhou have benefited a lot from it, and life is naturally prosperous!

The people are doing well, Yang Yi is comfortable, this winter, he often nests in the back office and does not go to "Xuanli", Mei Zhengqing and none of them dare to say anything about him.

Before Yang Yi came to Huanzhou, the treasury of Huanzhou was so empty that it could run horses, and the fiscal year was empty; Yang Yi has only been in Huanzhou for a year, and the taxes paid by Huanzhou have become the first in the northwest.

With such proud political achievements, let alone being lazy, even if he doesn't go to "Xuanli" for a year, I'm afraid that all the Cao officials in Huanzhou will not dare to say a word.

On this day, Yang Yi came back from the barracks, and as soon as he walked to the door of the flower hall, he heard the voice of Wang Chaoyun coming from inside, Thirteen Niang's body is getting heavier and heavier, Wang Chaoyun is a person who has come over, and she will often come to visit Thirteen Niang in the past two or three months, and pass on some parenting experience, she is not surprised.

The strange thing is that the content of their conversation, Wang Chaoyun mentioned about Su Che, saying that whenever Su Dongpo mentioned this younger brother who derogated Lingnan, he always sighed and sighed, which was very sad.

Although Wang Chaoyun didn't say anything explicitly, it was obvious that she wanted to ask Yang Yi to help Su Che intercede through Thirteen Niang to see if she could be transferred back.

Yang Yi listened to a few words, then turned his head and went to his study, now his relationship with Su Dongpo is not bad, but with Su Dongpo's personality, it is impossible for him to mention Su Che's matter to himself, and it is impossible to instruct Wang Chaoyun to say that this is obviously Wang Chaoyun's own meaning.

Su Dongpo got a good concubine!

Wang Chaoyun is beautiful and graceful, empathetic, he dedicated himself to Lao Su at a young age, not to mention, Lao Su is quite sorry for others, whether it is derogatory to Huangzhou or Huizhou, Wang Chaoyun follows him without regrets, takes care of him and encourages him.

But whenever Su Dongpo is proud of the spring breeze, Wang Chaoyun always becomes a dispensable role, and he is not very valued by Su Dongpo.

If you can help, for a good woman like Wang Chaoyun, Yang Yi will also help. But this didn't work, so Yang Yi hid in the study.

Su Che is different from Su Dongpo, during the Yuan You period, Su Dongpo was excluded from the court for a long time, and Sima Guang did not distinguish between good and bad, and the practice of abolishing the new policy was also fiercely opposed, and Yang Yi helped Su Dongpo to make sense.

During the Yuan Yu period, Su Che has always been a figure at the core of power, and his blow to the New Party is also extremely ruthless.

Cai Cheng, the veteran of the New Party, died in Lingnan, and Su Che was mainly responsible, and it was precisely because of his gluttony that Gao Tao shouted "The mountain can be moved, but this state cannot be moved";

When Zhao Xu was in power, he even put the big hat of abolishing the new policy of Shenzong on Zhao Xu's head.

They abolished the new deal together with Gao Taotao, but in the end, Su Che reversed black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, and insisted that Zhao Xu abolished the new policy of Shenzong, which made Zhao Xu angry at that time, if it wasn't for Fan Chunren's intercession, it is estimated that he would be the first to be kicked to the ends of the earth by Zhao Xu.

For people like Su Che, Yang Yi didn't want to help intercede, it was useless to say it, and members of the New Party such as Jingzhong Zhangdun, Huang Lu, and Zhang Shangying would never agree.

Yang Yi didn't stay long in the study alone, so Mu Lanhua hurriedly broke in, hugged her fists and said, "My lord, there is someone outside who claims to be Yaoqing who wants to see you, saying that he has important information for your lord." ”

"Yaoqing?" Yang Yi had never heard of this name, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Has this person asked where he came from?" ”

"The last general asked, but he refused to say, and only told him when he saw the adult himself."

Yang Yi frowned a little and said, "You bring people in!" Try to be careful. ”

"Whoa!"

Mu Lanhua answered, and withdrew, and soon she came in with a man in his thirties, who was quite athletic, with thick calluses between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and must have been a man who used knives often.

After this person came in, he didn't salute or speak, but just glanced at Mu Lanhua and the two guards.

"Mulan, you guys step back first!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Stand down, I won't call you, don't go near the study."

Under Yang Yi's strict order, Mu Lanhua had to withdraw with two guards, and when the study was covered, the man bowed down and said, "The villain Yaoqing has seen Master Yang. ”

Yang Yi said lightly: "You can rest assured, who are you?" What is the matter with coming to this officer? ”

The man didn't drag the mud and water, and immediately said: "The villain is Renduo Baozhong's personal entourage, and it was Lord Liang Gefang Liang who sent the villain to find Master Yang. ”

"What credentials do you have?"

Hearing this, the man carefully took out half a note from his bosom, on which was written the word "tranquility". Yang Yi took it, then opened the drawer of the bookcase, and took out the other half of the note with the word "Zhiyuan" written on it, a pair of the two, and the lines were seamless.

Yang Yi returned the half note to him before he spoke again: "Well, why did Lord Liang ask you to come to me?" ”

"Bachelor Yang, the villain said that the villain is Renduo Baozhong's personal entourage, and what I want to tell Bachelor Yang is about Renduo Baozhong, Bachelor Yang, Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu are in the tin well near Tiandu Mountain at this time, and there are less than 4,000 soldiers around them, and now after the heavy snowfall, Renduo Baozhong and others are even more vigilant. If Mr. Yang is ......"

Tin wells? Yang Yi knew that this place was more than twenty miles away from Tiandu Mountain, and Yang Yi's heart jumped, this was a rare opportunity! If you can kill these two famous Western Xia generals in one fell swoop, then the Western Xia will ......
