Chapter Eleven The Empress Dowager Assassination
In the autumn of the fourth year of Fu Sheng Chengdao, Li Liangzuo was already nine years old at this time. The nine-year-old Li Liangzuo's extraordinary talent made the people of Xixia see hope. What was even more gratifying was that of the members of the Xixia royal family. During these nine years, Xixia had always been the dictatorship of the mother and queen, and the queen family was in power, and the power of the Xixia royal family was greatly suppressed.
Now the court and local government of the entire Xixia are divided into two forces. One is the Hou Party headed by Mozang Epang, and the other is the Royalist Party; but now the Royalist Party has weak power. Since the last battle in Liaoxia, the leader of the Royalist Party, Wei Goningling, was detained in Xingqing Prefecture by the Queen Mozang. Although he was appointed as a senior official in Yi, he was named an empty title without any real title.
The power of the royalist party can be said to be negligible in the local area, but in addition to these two parties, there are many local generals waiting and watching. At this time, the Xixia was at risk of being divided at all times, but the power of the Xixia was still in the back party, and the power of the Wuzang Epang in the court became increasingly stable.
In the Xingqing Palace, Li Liangzuo was practicing martial arts in the Imperial Garden. Although Li Liangzuo was only nine years old, he was very beautiful when he grew up. In today's words, he was simply cool. Not only that, Li Liangzuo was born with divine power since he was a child, and he was unparalleled in archery, riding and shooting, and chanting poems and essays. He was also very politically wise and strategic. Li Liangzuo was the hope of the entire Western Xia royal family.
After Li Liangzuo finished practicing a set of kung fu, the palace maid standing next to him immediately handed the wet towel to Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo wiped it and threw it to the palace maid and asked Li Yi, the chief guard who was following him, "Where will you pay respects to my mother?"
Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace."
Li Liangzuo frowned and asked, "Where is my mother not going in the palace?"
Li Yi looked at Li Liangzuo and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager went to Helan Mountain to hunt."
"Hunting, I'm afraid hunting is fake, but it's true to meet your lover!" Li Liangzuo said angrily.
Li Yi came to complete the whole story and said, "Your Majesty is careful. If these words are heard by the Empress Dowager, you may be punished again."
Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Since she dares to do it, are she still afraid that I will say it? Now everyone in the world knows that my mother, the current empress dowager of the Daxia Kingdom, actually raised two dating men. Where do you think I will put my face!"
"Your Majesty, I'll ask you not to say anything more." Li Yi persuaded Li Liangzuo with a sad face.
As soon as Li Liangzuo got angry, Wu Zang Epang hurriedly ran to Li Liangzuo. Now Li Liangzuo does not have much favorable feelings for his uncle, but in order to pay attention to the overall situation, Li Liangzuo still has to endure it, because the military and political power of Xixia is now in the hands of the Prime Minister Wu Zang Epang.
"Old minister, please see Your Majesty." Mozang Epang bowed to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, get up!"
After Mozang Epang stood up, he said to Li Liangzuo with anxiety, "Your Majesty is in trouble, the Empress Dowager was assassinated in Helan Mountain."
After hearing this, Li Liangzuo stood there immediately, feeling sad and happy. What was painful was that his mother died in this life. What was happy was that the party's power would inevitably be greatly reduced after the Queen Mother of the Uncensored, and he could take the opportunity to take charge of the rule.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Liangzuo immediately ordered with tears on his face: "Hurry, I am going to Helan Mountain, I am going to see my mother..."
After seeing the body of the Empress Dowager Wuzang, Li Liangzuo fainted from tears. The Empress Dowager Xixia was assassinated and died. The news that the emperor cried and fainted spread throughout the world for a while, and the Emperor Xixia's benevolence and filial behavior spread throughout the world.
A few days later, in the Xingqing Palace court, Li Liangzuo was wearing a filial piety uniform and red eyes sat on the throne. The civil and military ministers below were lined up on both sides. Li Liangzuo glanced at the ministers and finally turned his eyes to the prime minister Mozang Epang.
"My dear friends, now that my mother is assassinated and died, I am heartbroken and unwilling to do the government. I will persuade the major affairs in the court to be handled by the Prime Minister." Li Liangzuo said with pain on his face.
Mozang Epang, who was standing below, was very happy in his heart. The ministers of the Hou Party below all stood up and praised Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise..."
Li Liangzuo looked around and saw that almost all the ministers in the court were standing beside Mozang Epang. Only then did Li Liangzuo truly realize the strength of the Later Party. At the same time, Li Liangzuo also had the intention to eradicate the Later Party.
"The Empress Dowager has great kindness to raise me. I have worked hard for me and Daxia for nine years. I cannot repay the great kindness of the Empress Dowager! So I have decided to go to Chengtian Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager for three years. I will not see anyone in these three years, and all the major events in the country will be troubled." Li Liangzuo said to the ministers.
As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, Vergung Ning Ling immediately stood up and stopped him and said, "Your Majesty must not be done in this matter. Your Majesty must pray for the Empress Dowager in the palace. Why do you have to go to Chengtian Temple?"
"I have decided, so the emperor's uncle doesn't have to persuade him." Li Liangzuo said to Vergne Ningling.
"Oh..." Wei Ge Ning Ling sighed and retreated helplessly.
Li Liangzuo waved his hand and an internal supervisor immediately stood up and read the imperial edict loudly and said: "The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom: From now on, the title of Mozang Epang as the prime minister of the great country to take charge of the government affairs. During the period when I pray for blessings for the queen mother, all major military and political affairs will be handled by the great prime minister. I am here!"
"I, Wu Zang Epang, receive the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Wu Zang Epang immediately knelt on the ground and received the imperial edict.
With the issuance of the imperial edict, Mozang Epang took over the real Western Xia Kingdom with justification. It can be said that from this moment, Mozang Epang became the actual ruler of the Western Xia. At this time, Mozang Epang can be said to be full of energy. Mozang Epang may not have noticed that a strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Liangzuo's mouth when he received the imperial edict.
Late at night, in Chengtian Temple.
Li Liangzuo sat cross-legged in the hall alone. After arriving at Chengtian Temple, Li Liangzuo ordered the entire Chengtian Temple to be enshrined for three years and no one was allowed to enter and exit within three years. At this time, Li Liangzuo was sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue in the Great Hall.
Li Yi walked slowly to Li Liangzuo's ear and said, "Your Majesty, the person has arrived."
Li Liangzuo, who had originally closed his eyes, immediately opened his eyes. At this time, Li Liangzuo's eyes looked very bright. Li Liangzuo said to Li Yi slowly: "Let him go to the secret room to wait for me."
"Yes." Li Yi responded.
After Li Yi left, Li Liangzuo stood up and saluted the Buddha, then withdrew from the Main Hall. After leaving the Main Hall, Li Liangzuo came to the secret room. At this time, Wei Ge Ning Ling had been waiting here for a long time.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty." After seeing Li Liangzuo, Verge Ning Ling immediately saluted.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Ning Ling, "Uncle, I came to you today because I have something to ask for."
"Your Majesty has nothing to do, just give me orders." Veng Ning Ling said respectfully.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "Uncle, tomorrow you will find fifty children aged ten to twelve for me. These children must be from poor families and have their family backgrounds be innocent. I will tell you that I will pray for the Queen Mother."
"Yes, I understand." Wei Gening Ling replied.
"In addition, the emperor's uncle also needs to secretly contact some people from the royal family, especially the generals who hold military power outside. I will have great uses in the future." Li Liangzuo continued to say to Vergung Ningling.
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down even if I am broken." Vergung Ning Ling said loyally to Li Liangzuo.
