October is here, and with it the winter in Bianjing City.

The pebbles in the three charcoal fields are piled higher and higher.

In order to rush to Bianjing before the heavy snowfall in winter, coal from various places is being transported to Bianjing day and night.

At the same time, the Bianhe River also began to enter the dry season.

The flow of the Bianhe River begins to decrease!

This makes the stacking yards inside and outside Bianjing City, especially those near the river bend, becoming increasingly busy.

Everyone is trying their best to stock up.

There are no more market affairs.

This means that the imperial court will no longer regulate prices!

Therefore, merchants at home and abroad are stocking up on goods in large quantities.

They have sharpened their knives and are just waiting to make a fortune!

Zhao Xu was already in the palace and began to practice etiquette. The content of the banquet also changed from teaching to etiquette.

Because, the late emperor’s spiritual chariot is about to be launched!

After practicing again the etiquette required to lead the day, Zhao Xu felt a little tired.

So I sat down and rested for a while.

"Everyone, Xia Envoy Wei Mingji and others entered Bianjingdu Tingyi today. They brought five hundred horses for use in the mountain tomb..." Feng Jing whispered in Zhao Xu's ear.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Why are Dangxiang people so generous?"

Among the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia, Xia was the weakest, smallest and poorest.

Therefore, every time a Dangxiang person makes a move, they have to be careful and calculate carefully.

This is true whether it is for the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty.

Feng Jing replied: "I heard that they brought new credentials..."

Zhao Xu was surprised: "New credentials?"

This is so interesting, people must ask for something when they are polite!

The party members began to become generous, and there was only one possibility - he wanted something from the Song Dynasty.

So, what do the party members want to do?

What does he ask for?

Zhao Xu's eyes were blazing, and his whole body began to become energetic.

And Zhao Xu did not wait too long. Xing Shu, the envoy appointed by Zhao Xu, quickly reported the results of his communication with the Western envoy.

After Zhao Xu read it, he laughed: "So that's it..."

"Xiao Liangzi, your mind works very fast!"

"But...why should I agree?"

What is not available is the most precious.

This is a piece of knowledge that Zhao Xu learned while studying abroad.

Moreover, if the Dangxiang people agreed to the Song Dynasty as soon as they asked for it, what would the Liao people think?

Therefore, you have to make a good gesture and create a grand scene to let everyone know that it is not just any cat or dog that can just take some rags of gold and silver and use it to issue a handover in the Song Dynasty.

That is the treatment that only the most beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters of the Song Dynasty receive.

So, on the next day, Wei Mingji went to the Chongzheng Hall to see His Majesty and submit his credentials.

Xixia's request was declined by the two palaces.

This was naturally the work of Zhao Xu - it was a very simple matter, and a Xixia threat theory convinced the two palaces.

This made Wei Mingji very disappointed, but he had no choice but to bow his head again, thank him and leave.

…

Guihai in October of the eighth year of Yuanfeng in the Song Dynasty.

In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, after a muffled groan, all the storms returned to calm.

Bingchang's body collapsed on the concubine's body like a pile of sand. He seemed exhausted.

"Wu Zu..." the concubine asked softly: "You are so powerful... The slave family was about to die just now..."

However, Bingchang, who was lying on top of her, did not answer and remained motionless.

The concubine didn't take it seriously, because Bing Chang was always like this these days, and he became more energetic after just a short rest.

However, this time, something seemed wrong.

She tentatively stretched out her hand to push, but she couldn't push it at all. The stone on her body was like a stiff stone.

"Wuzu..." She raised her head carefully, moved it to Bingchang's ear, and blew as usual.

However, this time there was no reaction from Bingchang.

She tremblingly stretched out her hand and put it under Bingchang's nose.

Immediately she screamed, and everyone inside and outside the hall was startled by her scream.

When Ren Duo Xi Zhong arrived with his people.

The vulture of Dabai Gao Kingdom just lay naked on the bed, without breathing or heartbeat.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible before he died.

"Wuzi!" Renduo said his loyalty, shook a little, and then collapsed on the ground.

Wuzu is dead!

Renjia's hope is gone!

…

In front of Empress Dowager Liang's bed.

Empress Liang looked at the Queen Mother, who had been unconscious for several days, and sighed.

At this time, a minister tiptoed up to her: "Queen, Wuzu Longyu has passed away..."

Empress Liang shed a tear, clasped her hands together, and sighed: "Amitabha!"

Then she hugged Ganshun and walked out of the palace.

Between the walls of the palace, the Liang family and the nobles who depended on the Liang family were already ready to fight.

"Everyone..." Empress Liang cried and said, "I have just received a secret report. Unfortunately, the soldier was killed by a traitor and died just now..."

"The Great White Kingdom is in danger..."

"My wife is ignorant and the prince is young...the country is in danger and the country is overturned..."

She hugged Ganshun, slowly bent down, and begged the Liang ministers and nobles: "I, the prince, have paid homage to all your beloved ministers..."

"May you wait and protect the prince and the country..."

Everyone immediately knelt down and said: "I am willing to die to be loyal to the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liang Yibu knelt down and worshiped: "Unfortunately, I was killed by a treacherous minister today, and the Queen Mother is lingering on her sick bed again... I am frightened and respectfully request Her Royal Highness the Queen to assume the position of Queen Mother immediately, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne immediately..."

Empress Liang nodded slowly: "The words of the Prime Minister of the country are those who are mature enough to plan for the country!"

"The dragon body of Wuzu is in the hands of a traitor... In urgent matters, I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne in front of the Empress Dowager's bed..." Liang Yibu paid his respects again.

So, surrounded by the Liang ministers and nobles, on the 10th day of the 8th year of Yuanfeng (the second day of the lunar month).

Prince Qian Shun of Xixia came to the throne in front of the Empress Dowager Liang's bed.

Immediately, the Prime Minister Liang Yibu issued an edict in the name of Qian Shun, Empress Dowager Liang and Empress Liang.

Order Liang's troops and private soldiers outside the palace to immediately seize the arsenal of the Xingqing Mansion, and at the same time summon the generals of Wei Mingjia to enter the palace immediately.

On the other hand, Liang Yibu announced that the person who killed Bingchang was the traitor Renduo Baozhong, and called on the "loyal and brave men" in Xixia to avenge their father and protect the country of Jingzong and Yizong.

On the other side, Renduo Baozhong, who learned of Bingchang's death, originally wanted to block the news and not announce the funeral secretly, and then led his troops to raid the palace of Empress Dowager Liang in order to control the palace.

However, before his order was issued, he already learned that Liang Yibu had called on King Qin and Liang's tribe to use private soldiers to control the arsenal of the Xingqing Prefecture.

Renduo Baozhong was immediately shocked.

The arsenal is the most important facility in Xingqing Mansion.

A large number of weapons are stored in it, which can arm more than 100,000 people!

Now it is completely controlled by the Liang family, which means that the Liang family can continuously receive replenishment from the arsenal.

"Why did I get so confused that I thought the soldiers were allied with me, but I forgot to send someone to control the arsenal..."

At this time, Renduo Baozhong finally knew where he was compared with the Liang family?
