The Western Xia Imperial Palace, with its golden palaces, is no worse than the architecture of the Great Song Dynasty, on the contrary, it is just as fascinating as it is full of exotic style.

Li Qiushui sat in her dormitory, wearing a phoenix robe that was extremely bright, with pale gold and crimson blending into a brilliant glow, and the domineering spirit that was unintentionally revealed was terrifying. "Helian Tieshu, as a general of Zhengdong, what do you think of Yipintang?"

Helian Tieshu looked like he was in his fifties, and the wind and frost on his face were eroded by the years, but it showed his perseverance even more. I saw him standing aside and said respectfully, "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, Yipintang is my Western Xia's institution to prevent the Great Song Dynasty and Dali and other national martial arts people, it is indispensable, but Yipintang's power is scattered, although it has the support of the Xingzhu faction behind it, it will not cause the root cause of turmoil, but this is a great disadvantage, once our country and the stars are at odds, the consequences are unimaginable." Moreover, for my Western Xia Kingdom, we must not tolerate a team that may disobey the royal family's orders at any time. ”

Li Qiushui touched the long hair on her forehead, and she said indifferently, "Not bad." Yipintang must be in the hands of the royal family, just as the Great Song Dynasty controlled the inner secret agents inside the six gates, and the monks of Tianlong Temple controlled by Dali. Li Qiushui paused, and she didn't hide it, "Although Ding Chunqiu and I are the same family, and he is also my nephew, this relationship is not solid." Moreover, some time ago, the world changed greatly, and it was suspected that something big had happened, and now the rivers and lakes are surging, and I am very worried about the safety of the Western Xia Kingdom. Do you have any good way to take back the power of Yipintang without provoking Ding Chunqiu?"

Helian Tieshu knelt down in embarrassment, and his voice was rough, "The minister is incompetent. Li Qiushui's eyes turned and looked at the emperor Li Changdao beside him, "Emperor, as the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, what can you do?"

Li Chang is only twenty-five years old, with a cowardly face. He is the son of the Empress Dowager Liang, but the relationship between mother and son is not good, so he switched to Li Qiushui's disciple in order to become the emperor. But in the end, he doesn't have any real power, like Zhao Xu of the Great Song Dynasty, "Erchen listens to the arrangement of the queen mother." ”

Li Qiushui frowned, she didn't like this son, but this was also the best way to take charge of Western Xia, "General Helian, I heard that the person in charge of Yipintang is named Li Yanzong, how is he?"

Helian Tieshu was also stunned. I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to care about such a trivial matter, knowing that there is such a person in Lu Dao, but thinking about it, if she didn't know Lu Dao, she wouldn't have come to talk about the big things of Yipintang, "Li Yanzong has a mysterious origin, and he was recommended to be a general by Pan Dao, the eldest disciple of the Xingzhu faction, but as soon as this person came to power, his methods were quite intense, and the high level of power and scheming was eye-catching. In a short period of time, he has completely mastered Yipintang, and it is said that he has gone to the northwest and is about to destroy the great enemy of the beggar gang in one fell swoop. The Queen Mother wants to recruit him, and Weichen can do his best. It is believed that he does not have a deep affection for the Nakshatra and Pan Dao. ”

Of course, Li Qiushui knew this, but what she wanted was not to recruit cables, but to kill. Li Yanzong's real name is the people of the Western Xia Kingdom who don't know the way, but she knows it clearly. Murong Fu came under a pseudonym, so it was strange that she could rest assured. Moreover, it has had too much influence on Wang Yuyan, and has already caused danger to his own plans. "No, his real name is Murong Fu, do you think he will really vote for me Xixia?"

Helian Tieshu was shocked, not because he was surprised that Murong Fu, the head of the Gusu Murong family, came to Western Xia to become an official under a pseudonym, what he cared about was the horror of the Murong family. It is a behemoth, it is a family that can compete for the world, there must be a conspiracy here, "Queen Mother, why don't I send troops forward, God will strike first without knowing it, I don't believe that he alone can stop my thousands of troops." ”

Li Qiushui denied his proposal, "No, it's easy to kill Murong Fu, but the Murong family behind him is too terrifying." Although we killed Li Yanzong, they didn't think so. And do you think Murong Fu is the head of the family? It's too naïve. ”

"Queen Mother, do you mean Murong Bo is not dead?" Helian Tieshu also knew about the rumors, he had dealt with Murong Bo, so naturally he would not believe that the other party was really dead.

Li Qiushui wasn't sure if Murong Bo was dead, even if she didn't die, she wasn't afraid, what she was really afraid of was the person who founded the Murong family. Li Qiushui can be sure that that person is not dead, just because she is a disciple of the Xiaoyao faction, that person was as famous as Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Duan Siping, the emperor of Dali, and Li Yuanhao, the monarch of the Western Xia, if it wasn't for provoking Xiaoyaozi, it can be said that the whole world is his. That person is the ancestor of the Murong family, Murong Dragon City, the creator of the Dou Zhuan Xing, and the figure of the Grandmaster Realm.

However, Li Qiushui will not explain to Heran Tieshu, after all, it is impossible to know the legendary person of the Dao at the level, so he thinks that it is Murong Bo. "It would be nice if there was an excuse. ”

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, General Helian. Yipintang sent an emergency military situation, and a large number of beggars and disciples invaded Western Xia and asked for support. The old eunuch came in a hurry, knelt down and handed over the letter in his hand.

Li Qiushui was suddenly overjoyed, she really fell asleep until she met the pillow, she took the letter and looked at it casually, and then threw it to Helian Tieshu, "You understand what to do." ”

Helian Tieshu nodded, "Chen understands. He got Li Qiushui's signal, got up and left, and his steps were calm and not nervous.

Li Qiushui came back to her senses, she looked at the emperor, "Chang'er, is there any adult princess in Western Xia?" Li Qiushui began to think about the next move, if Wang Yuyan could not meet her conditions, then the princess would become her next target.

Li Chang didn't understand why the Queen Mother was asking this, but he still replied, "After returning to my mother, only one person is an adult, and that is Princess Yinmeng." Erchen's sister, Li Qinglu, the daughter of the concubine Zhou, just turned sixteen this year. ”

Li Qiushui narrowed her eyes, she looked at Li Chang and said, "Emperor, do you have any arrangements for her?" Li Chang was also straightforward, and said, "Erchen wants to marry her, either for Dali or for Liao." It was used to strive for the union of the two countries to resist the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and had a large number of soldiers, although it did not want to forge ahead, but it was not something that the Western Xia could resist, and the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to use troops against the Liao State, but it dared to move the small country of the Western Xia. Although Dali Guo is also the younger brother of the Great Song Dynasty, he is not without ideas, especially after Zhao Xu took the throne, he was even more ambitious and ready to move. It can be said that Li Changneng became the emperor on the one hand, although he has the credit of Li Qiushui, but more importantly, he also has political acumen.

His idea was not wrong, but it was a pity that he met Li Qiushui. She doesn't care about the survival of the Western Xia Kingdom, in her eyes, the Western Xia is nothing at all. "No, let her come to me. I want to accept her as my righteous granddaughter, pass on her martial arts to marry the Xingzhu faction, and play an important role in stabilizing my Western Xia in order to turn her face in the future. ”

Li Chang is not stupid, how can he be willing, the princess of a dignified country actually married a martial artist, isn't it just a martial arts gang, and the commander of the army still doesn't believe that it can't be destroyed. As for the stability of Western Xia, he was not worried at all.

Li Qiushui saw his hesitation and said sarcastically, "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, I believe you have heard this sentence." Although you can send troops to destroy the gang, don't forget that the most important thing is that the opponent's master can infiltrate the palace and kill you beforehand. Do you think those Ouchi guards in the palace can keep you safe?"

Li Chang thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat, he could have seen Li Qiushui's martial arts, it was simply not human. Because of this, he didn't dare to make any moves after sitting on the throne. "Erchen knows, I'll go and find Princess Silver Dream. ”

Li Qiushui watched him walk out of the background, and said indifferently, "If you want to marry, you can recognize a righteous sister and relatives, just like the practice in the Han Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with this." Li Chang's body was shocked, why didn't he expect it, he turned around and thanked him, "Erchen understood." Looking at his figure walking away, Li Qiushui was silent, isn't he the emperor, I don't think that's it. A burst of light shot out of her eyes, and she raised her eyes to look at the sky outside, "Master, what do you mean for martial artists not to meddle in the world." You are high above, how can you understand the loneliness and loneliness of the hearts of our people. ”

Li Qiushui closed her eyes gloomily, she was not very worried in her heart, and she remembered the Empress Dowager Gao of the Great Song Dynasty again, "Gao girl, I lost once back then, and I won't lose the second time, it was you who taught me that martial arts are not everything, and the complexity of politics comes from the charm of power, which made me understand Wuyazi's feelings for me, but I was not reconciled, so I wanted to hit the ethereal peak and personally step on him to ask for the answer." Moreover, I, Xixia, will definitely destroy the Great Song Dynasty to repay your humiliation of me back then, because you made it impossible for me to become the concubine of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The sky is getting dark, a little starlight is falling, and the occasional night breeze blows, and the cold is deep. (To be continued......)
