Chapter 223 Three Letters

Li Qing's letter was the most threatening to Queen Mother Liang, because no one in Xingqing Prefecture knew that Liang Yimeng was dead, and Li Qing's actions also made Queen Mother Liang very puzzled: it was Li Qing's martial law in the whole city that surrounded the Jianing Military Office. The secret letter he sent to inform Liang Yimeng of the death, which made no one except her know that Liang Yimeng was dead. This gave her the necessary time to lay out the ground, but she stood on her own opposite and strongly suggested that the war be terminated and peace talks with the Song Dynasty.

Although Liang and Li Qing are both descendants of Han people, Queen Mother Liang was still very puzzled by Li Qing's actions. However, for such a person with heavy troops, Queen Mother Liang still dared not offend Li Qing, especially at this time, the Liang family was in a turbulent stage. Li Qing fell to either side, and this side had an absolute advantage in military affairs. Queen Mother Liang, who lives in the actual power struggle in Xixia, has been used to the bloody internal power struggle for decades. What she believes is the only sword in her hand. As long as the force is enough, there is nothing that cannot be done. As long as Li Qing does not get involved, she is still very confident in controlling the situation in Xixia.

Although Liang Yitong is much worse than Liang Yiming, he is the younger brother of Queen Mother Liang. At this time, he has completely taken over Liang Yiming's authority, but it is a big deal to hold it firmly. After all, his prestige is not as good as Liang Yiming, but at this time, Queen Mother Liang had to quickly promote Liang Yitong to the front line. The news of Liang Yiming's death is that no matter how well it is buried, it is only a short time. At the same time, the garrison troops in Xingqing Prefecture were also replaced by Liang's direct descendants in large numbers, which was a big trouble for Yu Zanghuama.

She issued three tough-worded decrees to transfer him from Xingqing Prefecture. Although Yu Zanghuama felt that Liang Gewei had been destroyed, it was the best time to seize the power of the Western Xia from the Liang family. However, his identity was awkward - he was not a Dangxiang person, but a branch of the Tufan. Wei Mingrong, the representative of the Western Xia nobles, was still exiled in a very distant place. He did not have such a high appeal to seize power by force. After seeing that the sixth squad of the Imperial Inner became a lackey in the Liang family, he helplessly followed the decree of the Queen Mother Liang and moved to Qingtongxia to guard.

After the Empress Dowager Liang made arrangements for Xingqing Prefecture, she sent a secret envoy to Li Qing and asked Li Qing to protect the body buried by Liang Yi and transport it back to Xingqing Prefecture for funeral. She also appointed Li Qingquan to deal with the conflict between Song and Xia, and secretly contacted the Song Dynasty to discuss peace talks.

The envoy sent by Li Qing was intercepted by Wuxin's racial forces after he left the Jianing Military Office. He knew that the Dangxiang people could not bear it anymore, so he escorted the secret envoy of the peace talks to Yan'an Prefecture. However, Wuxin also kept a secret. Except for leaving five or six hundred people to continue circling around the Jianing Military Office, the others followed the secret envoy to Yan'an Prefecture and sent people to arrive at the three newly built hamlets to report to Wang Shao in advance, asking him to prepare to "welcome" the secret envoy of the peace talks. Of course, Wuxin also knew that Li Qing was not easy to mess with, and the five or six hundred people

The scattered cavalry was just pretending and would never dare to copy Li Qing's life-saving food route. That would only anger Li Qing. If Li Qing rushed out of the Jianing Military City without his life, the paper tiger that he bluffed would be completely bankrupt. It was also extremely unfavorable for the three newly built villages. At this time, the robbery task had been completed. They created an illusion for Li Qing, making Li Qing think that the Song Dynasty had heavy troops on the territory of the Western Xia, so that he did not dare to make dangerous moves easily and gain time for the three villages.

After Wang Jinghui took a brief look at these battle reports, he put them aside. He didn't understand the military matters very well. For specific war steps, he only needed to know the results were beneficial to the Song Dynasty. In addition, he could clean up the remaining situation as soon as possible. He believed that the reason why Emperor Zhao Xu showed him these battle reports was because of this. Such a great victory was of great significance to the future development of the situation. How to deal with the aftermath is of great significance to the direction of the future situation.

However, in addition to caring about the situation of his disciples, Wang Jinghui was most concerned about the prisoners of war in Xixia. I don’t know what the emperor Zhao Xu was thinking, but he also specifically stated in the war report that there were more than 50,000 "capturing soldiers" among the 70,000 Xixia prisoners. Wang Jinghui himself also knew that the capturing soldiers who had "buyed" from the court before were almost dead or disabled. Everyone in the court and the country knew about this. He was not a stupid person. He knew that Emperor Zhao Xu had such a detailed number of capturing soldiers in the general war report. He undoubtedly wanted to help the court deal with the issue of Xixia prisoners of war again. According to his own words, there were too many lice and he was not afraid of biting. The court had to worry about face.

We must also negotiate with the upcoming Song Xia peace talks to avoid entanglement with the envoys of the Dangxiang on this issue, and be able to sell these prisoners to the prince-consort to deal with it. This ending is a joy. Anyway, with the emperor coming to protect him, this is not the first time. I believe that the censors and ministers who have doubts about it will shut up their mouths tactfully.

"Catching Shengjun! Capturing Shengjun! This time, you still have your life to 'capturing Sheng'?!" Wang Jinghui slapped the battle report on the desk. Eunuch Zhao next to him trembled a little. Obviously, Eunuch Zhao did not expect that the capturing Shengjun on the battle report would actually make the prince consort feel so deeply resentful.

"Father-in-law, please write a memorial!" Wang Jinghui said excitedly.

Eunuch Zhao prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. If the word "安容家" is well written, I don't know when a memorial will be written. If I write some manuscripts, it would be fine. I could write it with the quill pen. However, the memorials to the emperor and private letters from other ministers in the court were either written by Eunuch Zhao or copied by the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom, so as not to make outsiders look a little weird.

This memorial was a bit strange. The prince-consort did not explain to write about the Song and Xia war, but wrote about building roads and clearing the rivers. Although Eunuch Zhao had some questions, he saw the prince-consort walking around in the study and slowly thinking about the wording of the memorial, so he didn't say anything. In this memorial, the prince-consort talked about the importance of transportation to the court, and focused on the important role of the Grand Canal in the Beijing-Hangzhou for the unification of north and south China.

"I personally think that the greatest achievement of the Emperor of Sui in his life was to build the Grand Canal, which made it increasingly impossible for China to split north and south. With convenient transportation, it strengthened the connection between the north and south, and strengthened the closeness of our Chinese nation... Our dynasty's wealth was allocated to Biandu, and a total of five canals were gathered in Biandu. Eighty-nine out of ten of the wealth and goods in the north and south rely on canal transportation. If the canal is infringed, it is a major concern for the court..." Wang Jinghui said slowly in circles in the study. Although his speech was relatively fast, his writing speed was even more impressive.

"For the sake of the great Song Dynasty, I beg the emperor to clear the rivers to benefit the people's livelihood, but the national treasury is still scarce. I am willing to buy Dangxiang prisoners of war at high prices to fill the national treasury to build the canal!"

At this time, Eunuch Zhao finally knew that the prince-consort wanted to buy prisoners of war in different ways, but in order to avoid Qingliu interfering with this, he took great pains to come up with such an excuse to buy prisoners of war openly. But this is not an exaggeration. The prince-consort had a lot of money to clear the canal. Even if the court had this money to bear the cost, it was still very reluctant. In order to avoid the court's finances, the prince-consort suggested that the court could use the formation of a royal sea transportation method to invest in this income. Gathering the wealth of the wealthy merchants of the Song Dynasty to carry out this matter together, and using the silt fields generated by clearing the river as collateral to attract merchants to invest.

"Isn't this all the ministers in the court collected all the people in one go?!" Eunuch Zhao muttered in his heart. What is the identity of the person who can do business with Wang Jinghui? Eunuch Zhao naturally knows the origin of these people. In addition to Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, a few officials in the court who do not use their power to find agents to do business. Those who can take the fast-growing train of the Prince Consort are at least a third-rank official in the court. They are at least a third-rank official in the court. They are tricks about the prince consorts to pay money to invest and then get rich together. Eunuch Zhao has watched many things by the prince consorts, and they feel a little nonsense every time, but the white money will not lie.

This secret letter involved all aspects, and Wang Jinghui also tried his best to revise it several times. In fact, for the senior officials of the Song Dynasty, this memorial was just taking off his pants and farting. However, in order to block the opponent's mouth, he had to find a very noble excuse to link this kind of thing. Almost no one dared to touch such a big hat. This is also the theoretical basis for the firmly determined that Emperor Zhao Xu could carry out the policy of prisoners of war to the end. Otherwise, it would inevitably be shaken by Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo's repeated remarks.

Thinking of Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, Wang Jinghui also thought of Wang Anshi at the same time. He really didn't know what his husband thought of his actions. But now it seems that Wang Anshi did not interfere in whether he was in the Western Xia prisoners of war or advocated the improvement of the status of philosophers. However, whether from history or now, he came into contact with Wang Anshi himself. Wang Anshi is a rare school of adaptation - although he was from Confucianism, he did not oppose the treason. This is the biggest difference between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

"It's a pity that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both lack the quality of becoming a top politician - the ability to embrace all rivers." Wang Jinghui thought secretly that in his impression, only one of the founders of the Republic, the famous prime minister, had this kind of demeanor.

Wang Jinghui shook his head and let his mind clear. In this era, no one can know what he really thoughts in his heart, and no one knows what he did. In fact, sometimes when he looks back at the path he has walked, even Wang Jinghui himself has doubts. However, Wang Jinghui has gone from nothing to today, and now there is no way out to go. History has changed a lot, and everything in the future has become unpredictable. All he can do is continue to move forward according to the ideas in his heart, go as far as he can go, and stop to fall into the fate of history. It is just a matter of time. Keep moving forward can fight against history to the death, at least he still has a thought.

The memorial was written, but in order to ensure that the memorial was passed without resistance, Wang Jinghui still asked Eunuch Zhao to write three letters, one to Han Qi, who was far away in the northwest. Han Qi was the specific author of the victory of the Northwest War. Han Qi, Duke of Wei, had a high reputation in the court. With him, he came to write a letter. It is estimated that the disciples and officials in the court would stand on his side in this great victory; one to Guo Kui, the chief of staff of the Song Dynasty, has always been in the air, although this time

He did not participate in the actual battle, but the impeccable analysis of the battle situation greatly stabilized the atmosphere in the court. Emperor Zhao Xu once again paid attention to the Deputy Privy Councilor who gradually faded out of the high-level officials of the court. He was almost always discussing matters in Funing Palace. What is important is that he had a very good relationship with himself. In the future, the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms were finally settled. In addition to Wang Shao charging in the front line, Guo Kui also had a greater role; the last letter was sent to Wang Anshi.

"It's your turn to show your position!" Wang Jinghui thought silently. When he left Wang Anshi, Wang Jinghui felt very difficult. Now he had to take action himself in everything he wanted to do. The focus of the court was on him alone, which made him feel very sad. Although Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo's relationship with him was not very close, he was definitely not an enemy, but no matter how good the relationship was, he could not withstand such trouble. During this period, he was talking in the newspaper for the sake of different personal ideas. No matter what the final situation was, it was extremely unfavorable. It was ultimately a big problem to make this knot.

When it comes to personal beliefs, whether it is to improve the status of craft officials or view the alien race, this is something that Wang Jinghui cannot give in. There is no room for rewind in the middle, and others don’t know it. However, Wang Jinghui can know from history books how much harm these alien races have to the people of the Central Plains. Almost every invasion will cause a huge disaster of halving the population. Reconciliation will naturally not work, but if you want to divert your attention from the two of you, it is still easy. Wang Jinghui plans to throw Wang Anshi out as a shield.
