Chapter 57 The Poorest Emperor in the World (Part 2)
After Li Liangzuo persuaded the cabinet members, Li Liangzuo began to think about the intentions of Verge Ning Ling and Zhou Wentai. As the emperor, Li Liangzuo always understands the hearts of the following ministers. Only in this way can he not be deceived by the following ministers, not become a sword in the hands of the subjects, and not become a puppet emperor.
"Your Majesty, I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some snacks for you, please use some!" Xiao Fuzi walked into the imperial study room with a tray and said.
As soon as Xiao Fuzi finished speaking, Li Liangzuo suddenly stood up and frowned and said, "It's so bold that I dare to plot against you."
Xiao Fuzi was so scared that he knocked over the tray and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare me, I will borrow a hundred courage from my servants, and I dare not plot against you!"
"Get up! I didn't mean to you." Li Liangzuo glanced at Xiao Fuzi kneeling on the ground and said.
Xiao Fuzi glanced at Li Liangzuo and climbed up from the ground, then stood obediently. Li Liangzuo waved to Xiao Fuzi, and Xiao Fuzi stood obediently next to Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, have you ever heard of the name 'Yipingtang'?"
"The slave of 'Yipintang' has never heard of it." Xiao Fuzi thought about it and shook his head and said.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "I understand, go and clean up!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
After Xiao Fuzi left, Li Liangzuo smiled and murmured: "You still can't believe what's in the novel!"
Then Li Liangzuo thought about it and said with a smile: "But since there is no 'Yi Pintang', why can't I set up one?"
Li Liangzuo would not have thought that in one thought, an intelligence and assassination organization that terrorized the Liao, Song and the Western Regions countries in the future would be born. Although Li Liangzuo had such an idea, there were still many difficulties in implementing it. After all, Li Liangzuo did not have available intelligence talents, and the members of the Yipintang also needed training, so this matter could only be handled afterwards.
"Come here, come and find Li Yi for me." Li Liangzuo said to the guard outside the door.
Soon Li Yi came to the imperial study room. After seeing Li Yi, Li Liangzuo asked, "Have Li Yi confiscated the property of those traitors?"
"The statistics have been completed, and I have been handed over to you yesterday. I guess you haven't seen it yet!" Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo patted his head and said, "I have been so busy these two days. I won't read the memorials. Tell me about it! How much is it?"
Li Yi had already remembered these things in his heart, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Liangzuo: "After that, we will search for 100,000 taels of gold and 13.273.168 taels of silver, 5,721 horses, and there are too many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there are probably too many slaves in the fields, which are probably worth 4,500 taels."
"I didn't expect that the guys from Hou Dang have plundered so many people's wealth and ointments. It's so hateful." Li Liangzuo slapped the Long Case with his hand and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. These people from the Later Party are all from the aristocratic families of our Party Xiang, and in the past decade, they have the final say in the entire Xixia. It is not surprising that they can loot this money." Li Yi persuaded Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo found the list and memorial from his dragon case and handed it to Li Yi and said, "You give this list to Zhou Wentai, let him replenish the money into the treasury, and let him liquidate the treasury. From today on, no one can withdraw a penny from the treasury without my approval."
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's do it all." Li Yi replied in response.
When Li Liangzuo sent people to investigate the treasury of the Western Xia Dynasty, Wei Ge Ningling had already led the mission to set off. It was more than 2,000 miles from Xingqing Prefecture to reach the capital of the Song Dynasty. It took more than a month to go at the speed at that time. However, in order to complete the task assigned by Li Liangzuo as soon as possible, Wei Ge Ningling came to Bianliang as quickly as possible, and only took more than 20 days.
"Prince, Bianliang City is ahead." said Wei Ge Ningling's entourage.
Vergone Ningling looked at the tall city wall in the distance and said with a gloomy face: "Send the order, everyone is moving forward at full speed and rest after entering the city."
"Yes, Prince..."
Weige Ningling led the envoy to enter the outer city from Wanshengmen in the west of Bianliang. After entering the inner city, the envoy entered the inner city through Liangmen. The inner city of Bianliang was full of dignitaries and nobles, as well as various bureaucratic institutions in the central central of the Song Dynasty. The first thing Weige Ningling did when he entered Bianliang was to find the Honglu Temple.
Honglu Temple was the decree of five ancient temples. The so-called temple is not a temple, but a management agency of the central government. The five temples are Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple. Among them, Dali Temple is equivalent to today's Supreme Court and is the highest appealing agency in the country. Taichang Temple is in charge of various sacrifices; Guanglu Temple is in charge of various banquets; Taipu Temple is in charge of horses and emperor carriages; and Honglu Temple is in charge of receiving foreign guests.
The Honglu Temple had long received news of the arrival of the Xixia mission. Although the Xixia and the Song Dynasty are still in a confrontation, there were still envoys on both sides. However, what the Honglu Temple Minister did not expect was that the Wei Ge Ning Ling had arrived so soon.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me if you come late." Lu Gongzhuo, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, ran to the yamen and said apologetically to Lu Gongzhu.
Vergil Ning Ling smiled and said to Lu Gong: "Mr. Lu is so serious. Master Lu is able to greet him personally. Vergil is flattered."
"What did you say? Lu just fulfilled his duties. The hotel has prepared a residence for your country's mission. Three days later, His Majesty the Emperor will personally receive the Western Xia mission." Lu Gongzhu said to Vergong Ningling.
"Thank you then, Lord Lü." Vergung Ning Ling said with a smile.
Wei Ge Ning Ling stood at the yamen of Honglu Temple and said a few words to Lu Gongzhu. Then he was taken to Ying Guesthouse by his subordinates. Ying Guesthouse was a place where the Song Dynasty lived specifically to receive foreign missions. All the expenses for foreign missions here were the responsibility of the Song Dynasty court.
"Prince, the one named Lu just now was too rude. I really want to..." The entourage of Vergone Ning Ling said after the official of the Honglu Temple Minister left.
Wei Ge Ning Ling said with a gloomy face: "A little impatience will cause chaos and big plans. You must complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty as soon as possible. Don't be idle these three days. Find out the situation in Bianliang City, the barracks, granaries, government offices and Tibetan soldiers everywhere."
"Yes, Prince..."
At this time, the reign of Emperor Song Dynasty was Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen, and the reign of Emperor Song Dynasty was the most intense period of confrontation between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty. Because the Song army was defeated by the Xia army one after another, Song Renzong changed his strategy in his later years and always comforted Xixia and Liao, and tried his best to use rash weapons.
"The envoy of Xixia has entered the capital." Song Renzong asked the inner supervisor while walking the birds.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that the uncle of Lord Xia was coming!" The inner supervisor followed behind and said in a low voice.
"You go and visit yourself, don't neglect others, after all, they come from all over the world." Song Renzong said while teasing the birds.
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
