Chapter 774 Xixia Emperor (2)

It’s a pity that they don’t know, otherwise they wouldn’t have always used the world’s general trend to persuade Li Wangyuan who valued his sister rather than the world.

Fortunately, there are also discerning people among these ministers.

Zhongsun Qifu slowly stepped out of the ranks.

He was the oldest and saw the most. At this time, he looked at Li Wangyuan's expression and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

As far as he talks about this, the prince is still thinking about Princess Xiushu. If he can't see this thought, it would be a waste of life for so many years.

Zhongsun Qifu, who pulled out the old forces of Xixia from the cracks with one hand, grew silently like grass, would not have even had such little vision.

He bowed to Li Wangyuan and said, "Prince, the princess naturally wants to save him, but the old minister thinks that he must exchange it for Kuizhou."

When he said this, Li Wangyuan was not only surprised, but even the ministers and generals in the palace were shocked.

They had never heard Lord Zhongsun Qifu say this.

Little did they know that Zhongsun Qifu was also the solution they came up with when they just gave advice.

In Li Wangyuan's expectant eyes, he slowly spoke and said: "The Song Dynasty used Princess Xiushu to coerce our dynasty. Why can't our dynasty use the Song Dynasty royal family to coerce them? Our Western Xia royal family is in decline, and they are not much better in the Song Dynasty. In the entire dynasty, there are only two emperor Zhao Feng and Guang Wang Zhao Feng."

Someone's eyes emitted light.

Li Wangyuan raised his butt slightly from the chair, "What Lord Zhongsun means... is to hold Zhao Bing hostage?"

He finally didn't have any political sensitivity.

Zhongsun Qifu nodded slightly, "That's right. Zhao Bing enfeoffed Yongzhou. We just need to send masters to take him hostage. It will be easier to change the princess to return to the court."

Li Wangyuan remained silent for a while with his eyebrows narrowed, and his butt fell down again, and finally nodded.

In fact, with his personality, he was not willing to do something that went back on his word. But at the moment, he obviously had no other choice.

He was unwilling to go back on his word, so the ministers below forced him to go back on his word.

Someone looked at Zhongsun Qifu, "Why would you like to ask Lord Zhongsun, should we take this Kuizhou or not?"

Zhongsun Qifu chuckled and said, "Of course. At the moment, the Song Dynasty and Shuzhong have not yet made up their minds to tear each other apart. If you miss such an opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste of God's will?"

The ministers and generals in the hall also chuckled.

The situation in the world has developed to this point and they have grown stronger at an extremely fast speed. It can be said that God is helping them.

Li Wangyuan abandoned all the remaining hesitation in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, all the generals will obey the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

Standing on the right side of the hall, all the generals fell to their knees.

Li Wangyuan said: "I will order you to rectify your troops immediately and gather food and grass. One month later, send troops to Kuizhou!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

On this day, all the civil and military officials in Xixia felt refreshed.

If you can take Kuizhou and save Princess Xiushu, you will finally stop arguing with the prince about this matter. It is said that you cannot have both fish and bear's paws, but this time, they said they cannot have both.

"Master Zhongsun, please stay."

When everyone was about to leave the mansion, Li Wangyuan spoke out again to give Zhongsun Qi to stay.

Zhongsun Qifu smiled, with a wise light in his eyes. When everyone left, he asked Li Wangyuan with a smile, "Is the prince going to ask me who I plan to send to hijack Zhao Bing, right?"

Li Wangyuan was of course quite polite to Zhongsun Qifu and did not mind being flattering himself. "Mr. Zhongsun is worthy of being my think tank in Xixia. This wisdom is beyond the reach of this prince."

But if we really want to talk about it, Zhongsun Qifu seems to be able to bear this statement.

He chuckled softly and said, "Have you heard of Tingchao Mansion?"

Li Wangyuan pondered for a moment, "I heard of it when I was in Dadu. It is said that it is a spy force that can be compared with the Anzi Tower of the Yuan Dynasty and the Tianxiang Pavilion in Shu."

Then a light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Can this Tingchao Mansion belong to me, Xixia?"

“That’s right.”

Zhongsun Qifu said: "The old minister has been secretly developing the Chao Mansion for decades. However, in recent days, the prince has been worried about Princess Xiushu's affairs, so the old minister has not told you about these trivial matters."

He said it was trivial, but he was naturally a little proud on his face.

Li Wangyuan didn't care about this, and just said, "Sir Zhongsun, are you planning to let Tingchao Mansion take action?"

Zhongsun Qifu laughed loudly, "The Wuding Hall of the Song Dynasty is now famous. The Yuan Dynasty has a Green Forest Camp, and even the Pojun Academy in Shu is ambiguous. We in Xixia should let the people of the Jianghu see our strength. After the old minister established the Tingchao Mansion, he also won over a group of Jianghu masters in the mansion and gathered in the Yipin Hall. Although it may not be comparable to the Green Forest Camp of the Yuan Dynasty, it is not difficult to rob Zhao Bing over."

"Yipintang?"

Li Wangyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly, "I have never heard of this prince in the Yuan Dynasty. I wonder how many masters there are?"

Zhongsun Qifu bowed: "The old minister will present the roster and order talismans. First-Pintang will definitely not disappoint you, the prince."

Li Wangyuan sighed, "It is really a blessing for me to have Lord Zhongsun."

After staying in the Western Xia Dynasty for so long, he naturally learned some kingly ways. He bowed to Zhongsun Qifu and said, "I would like to worship Lord Zhongsun as the prince's tutor, and I would like to ask the grand tutor to allow it."

He is the prince, but he is the only prince like him in Xixia, so he is no different from the prince. He will be the final emperor of Xixia in the future.

At this time, Zhongsun Qifu became the crown prince's tutor, which was equivalent to granting Zhongsun Qifu the position of Taifu.

Since the Taifu was the imperial teacher, he was not just a first-rank official in the court. He was definitely more noble than an ordinary first-rank official.

Even though Zhongsun Qifu was already the most prestigious person in Xixia at this time, he couldn't help but be moved when he heard Li Wangyuan's words. There were even signs of tears flowing.

He has been planning for Xixia for so many years, what have he done?

Originally, Li Wangyuan had no king and no domineering in the way of imperial rule, and lacked trade-offs, which made him unavoidably disappointed. Now, he finally felt some hope in his heart.

At least the prince can trust an old minister like him and is not stingy with favor.

If you don’t understand the way of emperors, you can learn it. If you are narrow-minded, then there is really no hope.

The old minister who had endured Xixia for decades was choked with a little voice, "The old minister... was so grateful."

Li Wangyuan knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "In the future, Lord Zhongsun will be Wangyuan's only master and the only imperial teacher in Xixia."

Zhongsun Qifu hurriedly helped Li Wangyuan up, "The old minister decided to devote himself to the prince."
