The Xingqing City Gate finally opened.

A few days ago, for some reason, the city gate suddenly closed, and the city was full of troops. The people had complaints in private because it caused great inconvenience to life, but they only dared to talk about it in private.

After waiting for a few days, the city gate finally opened, but the army did not show signs of gathering because it dispersed.

The people in Xingqing City were talking a lot.

"Hey, brother, do you know what's going on?"

"Shh, don't ask, just be quiet if you want to ask, something big has happened."

"Ah, brother, go to my house for dinner and talk about it in detail?"

"Walk."

...

"Brother, let me tell me?"

"Hiss, your wine is good. Since the Lingzhou City Free Trade Zone was banned, I have not been able to drink such good wine."

"Haha, brother, don't tell me. I have the foresight. It was reported that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to change the foreign rituals to the Han rituals, so I knew something was going to happen.

Although I don’t know what happened, I always felt that the war was about to begin, so I quickly collected a batch of old Qingzhou cellars to hide it. Tsk tsk, sure enough, didn’t Song Xia fight a war?”

"Huo, amazing, indeed, I have foresight. Tsk tsk, this incident has something to do with our little emperor... Oh, I can't drink this wine without any effort. Alas, it may be that I haven't drunk a good wine for too long..."

"Hey, brother, stop talking, you have enough wine, I'll give you the full amount!"

"Zi Liu! Hmm, this Qingzhou Laojiao is really good, haha!"

"Brother, since you like it, I will bring you two bottles when you leave later!"

"Haha, brother will come. Speaking of the city gate closing this time, I really have a definite news. Isn't the little emperor going to change the Han ritual? Then Queen Mother Liang definitely cannot agree, because the change of the Han ritual was presided over by Queen Mother Liang. What is the little emperor going to change the Han ritual to the Han ritual? Can you think clearly, brother?"

"Well, could it be that the little emperor couldn't help but want to seize power?"

"Tsk tsk, I'm so keen, no wonder I can hold wine in advance and have the foresight!

Your opinion is right. The little emperor really wants to seize power, but this power should be his. He will take charge of the government next year. If you follow the steps, hehe, I guess the little emperor will just wait for death."

"That's right, the Liang family will not give up the power in their hands. Leaving it the Liang family will be dead."

"Yes, the little emperor has to take action, because at that time he takes power, whether the Liang family will give it or not, if he gives it, the Liang family will have to die. If the Liang family wants to live, they will have to kill the little emperor, so the little emperor cannot wait.

So the little emperor launched in advance, but he had no strength, so he was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Liang, and the Song Dynasty took advantage of the excuse to start a war. Our Daxia is capable and actually defeated the five armies. But once the battle came back, what happened, brother, do you think?"

"Is... the little emperor dead?"

"Ha, my cousin is eating imperial grain. It just so happens that he belongs to the imperial guards, so I have some news about this. The little emperor is not dead, but he is missing. The city is closed these days just to search for the whereabouts of the little emperor."

...

In the afternoon, Queen Mother Liang was drowsy and the sound of footsteps came, and she forced herself to cheer up.

Liang Yi buried his gloomy face and waited in the side hall. Even if he and Empress Dowager Liang were brothers and sisters, they had to avoid suspicion.

Queen Mother Liang was dressed neatly and came to the side hall from a few confidants. When she saw Liang Yimeng, she asked, "Have you found the whereabouts of that stranger?"

Liang Yi buried his voice and said in a deep voice: "I already know his whereabouts."

Queen Mother Liang said, "What are you waiting for? Just catch it."

Liang Yimai shook his head: "It's a bit complicated. Your Majesty and the Hengshan thieves have been mixed up. According to the report, the Heishan Weifu Army Division, Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division, Xiangyou Army Division, Jingsai Army Division, Xishoubaotai Army Division, Zhuola and Nanjun Division all received His Majesty's false edict and ordered them to attack Xingqing and capture the rebel party."

Queen Mother Liang frowned and angrily shouted: "The seals are all in our hands. How can he issue an edict? Also, who will repay the report you mentioned? Are these military officials?"

Liang Yi buried his sword eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, and he was also angry: "Only the Heishan Weifu Army Office, Zhuola and the Southern Army Office reported, the Left Xiang Shenwang Army Office, Xiangyou Army Office, Jingsai Army Office, and Xishoubaotai Army Office were silent. It seems that these things are not the same. If it weren't for the Heishan Weifu Army Office and Zhuola and the Southern Army Office, I wouldn't know this!"

Queen Mother Liang was shocked: "What do they mean? Do they want to rebel?"

Liang Yima shook his head: "That may not be possible. I have already asked someone to investigate. Sister, you have issued an edict ordering them to stand by on the spot and not allow them to go out. If you dare to disobey, you will confiscate your family and exterminate your clan!"

Queen Mother Liang thought about it and said, "Are you planning to lead your troops to suppress the bandits yourself?"

Liang Yima shook his head: "At this time, I can't leave Xingqing, I can only let the Baimaqiang Town Military Office go. The Yan Army Office, Xiping Army Office, and Gansu Army Office are all too far away, and I must be on guard against the attack of the Liao Kingdom and the Uighurs.

The left wing Shenyong Army Division, Xiangyou Army Division, Jingsai Army Division, and Xishoubaotai Army Division are temporarily unavailable, and the Xiangqing Army and the right wing Chaoshun Army Division are protected by Xingqing and cannot leave for a moment."

Queen Mother Liang nodded: "Then hurry up and catch the unspoken son quickly. Chi Ze changes. Hengshan is in a critical position. If the Song people take it, Daxia will be in danger."

Liang Yi nodded. He understood Empress Dowager Liang's nervousness in his heart. Not to mention the salt of Yanzhou and the iron of Xiazhou, as well as the granary of Xixia here. Military alone, Hengshan's strategic position is extremely high. Whoever occupys this place will be able to take the initiative.

Li Bingchang is now in the Hengshan area. If he cannot be captured as soon as possible, if he colludes with the Song Dynasty, it will cause a disaster.

Thinking of this, Liang Yima suddenly felt a thunderous heart, and he thought of a possibility.

When Empress Dowager Liang saw his younger brother's face change, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yi buried his heart and trembled: "Sister, I suddenly thought of something. The Hengshan thieves only appeared during this period. I have never heard of bandits here before. Where did these large number of bandits come from?

Moreover, according to the reports of the army that had been in contact with the bandits in front, Hengshan thieves were well-equipped, and they were one man and three horses, and they were like the wind. There were quite a lot of people, at least several thousand cavalry. Where did so many cavalry come from?"

Queen Mother Liang quickly asked, "Would it be the Song Dynasty? The Song army that occupied Hengshan was easily driven away, which is quite unusual."

Liang Yima shook his head: "It's possible, but it's unlikely. The Song army does not have such cavalry, and the Song army is probably afraid of being beaten. Maybe they just withdrew. I suspect they are..."

"Liao Kingdom!"

Queen Mother Liang exclaimed.
