Chapter 14 Retreat to Advance

In the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the arrival of Li Liangzuo surprised Mozang Epang. Although Mozang Epang was very dissatisfied with Li Liangzuo, it had not been torn apart yet. After performing the rituals of the monarch and ministers, Li Liangzuo and Mozang Epang made it in the pavilion in the garden. Naturally, they were not clear about Li Liangzuo's purpose of coming, so they could only accompany Li Liangzuo to taste tea.

"Uncle is still angry with Zuo'er!" Li Liangzuo asked Mozang Epang tentatively.

Mozang Epang said with an ugly expression: "Your Majesty is serious, how dare I be angry with Your Majesty!"

"If my uncle still recognizes Zuo'er, we both will say something in our hearts." Li Liangzuo said to Mozang Epang.

"Your Majesty just say whatever you want!" Mozang Epang's face relaxed a little and said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo said affectionately to Mozang Epang: "If it weren't for my uncle, Zuo'er would have been killed long ago. Zuo'er would never have forgotten his kindness to Zuo'er; but as the uncle said, "In recent years, my uncle's great cause has attracted great popularity, and he offended many people in both the court and in the local area. Zuo'er demoted his uncle from a prime minister to a prime minister was also for his uncle's next consideration;

During his lifetime, my mother had a engagement with Zuo'er and Xue'er's cousin. I want to choose a good day to sign Xue'er as the queen. If my uncle still serves as the prime minister of the country, I am afraid that some people will say that my uncle is the dictatorship of his relatives. This is not a good reputation for his uncle!"

When Mozang Epang heard that Li Liangzuo wanted to enthrone his daughter Mozang Feixue as the queen, he immediately happily forgot everything. If Mozang Feixue was enthroned as the queen, Mozang Epang in the entire Western Xia Dynasty could be said to be no different from the emperor. The reason why Li Liangzuo did this was to paralyze Mozang Epang.

"What does Your Majesty really think?" Mozang Epang asked Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Of course, can Zuo'er dare to lie to his uncle?"

This conversation eased the relationship between Mozang Epang and Li Liangzuo a lot. It can be said that Li Liangzuo won the first victory in the political war. Although Li Liangzuo made some compromises to Mozang Epang, he got more. First, Li Liangzuo began to participate in the government affairs, which greatly restricted Mozang Epang's prime ministerial power. Secondly, Li Liangzuo began to take charge of the entire palace guarding army, so that Li Liangzuo had sufficient troops to protect himself. No matter what, his nest was finally safe.

"Your Majesty, go and see Xue'er! Xue'er misses you very much!" Mozang Epang said to Li Liangzuo with a smile on his face.

After leaving the back garden, Li Liangzuo walked to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The backyard was filled with female family members from the uncang family. Most people cannot enter and exit at will. Of course, Li Liangzuo is an exception. Because Li Liangzuo is the king of Xixia and the nephew of Wuzang Epang, it is naturally no problem to enter and exit the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Li Liangzuo approached the inner courtyard, he heard a sound of piano. A young girl was playing the piano in the pavilion by the lake in the inner courtyard. Li Liangzuo looked from afar and found that Liang Luoyao, who had passed by him before, was standing next to the girl.

Li Liangzuo walked slowly and gently to the back of the lakeside pavilion. After playing the song "Wuzang Feixue", Li Liangzuo clamped up his palm and said, "Okay, I played it very well. I didn't expect that Xueer's piano skills have increased so much in a few years."

Wuzang Feixue immediately stood up when she heard Li Liangzuo's words. After seeing Li Liangzuo, she ran over and hugged Li Liangzuo and complained: "Emperor's cousin, why are you here to come to see me now!"

Li Liangzuo patted Wuzang Feixue's shoulder and said, "Am I busy? Isn't this coming to see you? OK, don't be a childish temper, get up quickly! So many people are watching!"

"I'm not, I'm afraid you will run away again after you let go." Wuzang Feixue said coquettishly: "Unless you promise to take me on a horse, I won't let go."

Li Liangzuo agreed in full voice: "Okay, okay, okay... I promise to take you on a horse, get up quickly!"

After hearing Li Liangzuo's agreement, he got up without hiding Feixue. After hiding Feixue rose, Liang Luoyao, who was standing beside him, immediately saluted and said, "I will meet your Majesty."

After sitting down, Li Liangzuo said, "Don't give me a gift! Everyone sits! There are no outsiders here."

...

Li Liangzuo stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion until late at night, and Li Liangzuo also promised to take Mozang Feixue and others to Helan Mountain to hunt for horses tomorrow. In fact, this trip was on one hand, and on the more important thing, Li Liangzuo wanted to get rid of the surveillance of Mozang Epang. After all, the Xingqing Mansion is now full of Mozang Epang's minions, and Li Liangzuo would know anything about Mozang Epang.

The Prime Minister’s Mansion is not in the study room of Epang.

"Sir, the young man has checked Chengtian Temple inside and outside as you ordered, but no one can find any possible people." The housekeeper reported to Mozang Epang Hui.

Mozang Epang nodded and said, "Have those fifty little monks investigated?"

"I checked it. Many of them were in Chengtian Temple. They didn't leave the Buddhist temple except for chanting scriptures every day." The housekeeper said to Mozang Epang.

Wu Zang Epang said cautiously: "Your Majesty has been in seclusion in Chengtian Temple for three years. It is impossible for you to do nothing. You send someone to monitor Chengtian Temple for Benxiang. Benxiang sees how long they can hide."

"Yes, the villain understands." The housekeeper replied.

"By the way, is there any news from the palace?" Mozang Epang continued to ask the butler.

The housekeeper immediately replied: "After going to court today, His Majesty and the emperor's uncle, Veritonese, discussed in the imperial study for a long time. Since Li Yi was guarding outside, we did not get any valuable information in detail."

"Let them closely monitor His Majesty's every move. Tomorrow they will go to Helan Mountain to ride horses and hunt. You can personally take people to protect the lady to see if they have interacted with foreign ministers." Mozang Epang ordered the butler.

...

In the imperial study room of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Since Your Majesty intends to get rid of the Wuzang family, why should I make Wuzang Feixue the queen?" Li Yi asked Li Liangzuo in confusion.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Li Yi: "If you want to destroy the enemy, you must first make him crazy."

As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he heard someone eavesdropping outside the window. A flash of light flashed in Li Liangzuo's eyes and threw a steel needle out. The internal supervisor outside the window was hit in the middle of his eyebrows on the spot. Although the noise was not big, it also alarmed the guards and the imperial guards. Li Liangzuo simply used the trick to carry out a major purge in the palace.

Li Liangzuo ordered the entire palace to be blocked under the name of an assassin entering the palace for assassination. Then, Li Yi and a group of trusted guards searched one by one, and captured most of the detailed works that were thrown into the palace in one go. In addition to the detailed works arranged by Wuzang Epang, many of them were made by the Song and Liao countries. Although most of the detailed works were arrested under the large-scale Qing Dynasty, what was left was the real detailed works.

Through this night's action, Li Liangzuo's grasp of the palace became more stable. When Mozang Epang learned about this, it was too late. Li Liangzuo was eroding Mozang Epang's power step by step. At the same time, Li Liangzuo's decisive behavior made many ministers admire him. Li Liangzuo was using his own way to gain the highest power of Xixia.
