1186. Li Le Xiao

At this point, the empress was unwilling to make the birth of the prince public and they knew it very well.

But it was far beyond their expectations to send the prince to the Heliancheng family to raise him. In the past, the empress had never revealed such thoughts.

It was not Heliancheng who made the first statement, but Zhongsun Zhouting.

He hurriedly said, "Emperor, the prince is a body of gold. He sent it to General Helian's home to support him. Isn't it wrong to do this..."

Lee Soo-sook looked at him deeply, "What's wrong?"

Zhongsun Zhouting's eyes shrank slightly, and he couldn't speak, so he quickly lowered his head.

He shouldn't have spoken out so quickly, he was really too hasty.

He knew that the emperor had seen his mind.

He was unwilling to let the emperor send the prince to the Helian family for support, so naturally it was not because of the noble prince. It was because if the prince grew up in the Helian family, the Helian family and the royal family would have this relationship in the future, and it would probably have to overwhelm their Zhongsun family. Now, the Zhongsun family is the most deeply rooted in the Western Xia court and is also the most trusted by the empress.

Although the Helian family probably cannot surpass the Zhongsun family as long as the old teacher Zhongsun Qifu is alive. But with Zhongsun Qifu's current age, how many years can he live?

Zhongsun Zhouting's objection is actually selfish.

At present, the major families in the Western Xia seem harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they naturally still have competition and other thoughts.

Heliancheng looked at Zhongsun Zhouting lowered his head, and just sneered in his heart.

Zhongsun Zhouting wanted to get the disadvantage of the prince being sent to the Helian family for support, and he naturally wanted to get the benefits of the Helian family.

He kowtowed to Li Xiushu and said, "Please rest assured, Heliancheng will definitely take good care of His Highness the Prince!"

"Um……"

Li Xiushu responded softly, no longer looking at Zhongsun Zhouting, but said again: "I will arrange for the Grand Tutor to be the prince's teacher. When the prince grows up a little, he will be sent to the palace for school. When he was in the Helian family, the prince named Helian Zuoxiao."

Upon hearing this, Zhongsun Zhouting finally breathed a relaxed tone next to him.

It seems that the emperor still favors the old teacher of their family. Letting the old teacher be a teacher for the prince can always prevent the Zhongsun family from falling out of favor in front of the prince in the future.

Although Heliancheng was a little disappointed, he couldn't say anything.

It is not strange that the emperor will not entrust all the princes to their Helian family. It is just that he thought it too simple.

The emperor's thoughts have always been free of water.

At this time, Li Xiushu said again: "I gave birth to a prince and sent the prince to the Helian family to support me. In the future, only you two families know about it. Do you know what to do in the future?"

Zhongsun Zhouting and Heliancheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my elders, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

"No……"

Li Xiushu said, "This is not enough. I will make the prince ascend the throne in the future."

Heliancheng, Zhongsun Qifu and both realized something, so they hurriedly kowtowed: "Helian, Zhongsun's family will always be loyal to the emperor."

The matter of Helian leaving Xiao is the prince's affairs in the future. In the future, only the two families will know. In the future, Li Xiushu wants Li leaving Xiao to ascend the throne, but he will inevitably make his identity public to the world.

This naturally requires two companies to prove it, and they stand firmly next to Li Xiushu. Otherwise, many other voices will inevitably appear in the Xixia Dynasty.

The story of the empress giving birth to a prince has never been spread. Suddenly, Helian left and was the prince. Who would believe it so easily?

Even if you believe it in your heart, some people will be afraid that they will deliberately pretend not to believe it, right?

At that time, only Helian and Zhongsun families can help each other and suppress the rumors and opposition in the court.

After all, although Li Xiushu is suppressing all major families now, the real power she has in her hands is actually not enough to fight against the joint efforts of all major families.

At this moment, Heliancheng, Zhongsun Zhouting and others couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by Li Xiushu's mind.

It turned out that the prince was not as simple as he was to let the prince enter the Helian family and to let the old teacher be his teacher. What the emperor saw was far more profound than they thought.

She wanted to make Helian and Zhongsun families the most prosperous families, and to tie the two families to the royal family.

Because at that time, if Helian and Zhongsun’s family do not support her in establishing a prince as emperor, the two families will also face a sudden decline in reputation.

Xixia may have another civil strife.

The Helian family may be even more charged with holding the emperor hostage, hoping to establish the Helian family's bloodline as the emperor.

Of course, this is not something the two companies are willing to see, nor is it possible to withstand it.

"alright."

Li Xiushu looked at the two of them deeply, and confirmed that they knew what they were thinking, so she said again: "Then you will lead the soldiers down. After returning to the house, let the Grand Master and Doctor Helian come to my bedroom to see me after the regular court meeting tomorrow."

"yes."

Heliancheng, Zhongsun Zhouting and the other two agreed to leave the room.

They knew that the empress would say something to Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong.

For such a big thing, the empress could not just explain to them. What she needed was the statements of Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong.

After quitting Li Xiushu's bedroom, Zhongsun Zhouting and Heliancheng gathered the imperial guards and left.

When they left, the two still walked together.

Heliancheng said to Zhongsun Zhouting: "General Zhongsun, it seems that our two families will become unswerving allies in the future."

Zhongsun Zhouting nodded and smiled, "I hope so."

Heliancheng nodded too.

The two of them are the most promising juniors of the Helian family and the Zhongsun family, and are also the candidates for future owners.

Although it was just a few words, it could be said that it had become an ally.

Of course, the premise is that when Zhongsun Qifu and Heliancheng are in charge of the two families, the relationship between the two families will not change much.

Not long after, a pigeon rose into the sky and headed towards Changsha in the Xixia Palace.

The next day.

Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong joined forces to Li Xiushu's bedroom to meet Li Xiushu.

What Li Xiushu said to them, no one in the Xixia court knew about it.

All I know is that after Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong came out, the relationship seemed to suddenly become much closer.

Just after leaving the palace, He Liandong went to Zhongsun's house as a guest.

Although the Helian family and Zhongsun family chose to support the empress in the past, they had never had such close contact.

This made the ministers who were unaware of the court think that the emperor was going to make any big moves.

Even the patriarchs of the major clans strictly ordered the disciples in their family not to cause trouble, and many of the secret actions were quietly restrained.

After all, after the Empress pulled out Pang Hongguang and others, it was considered a heart-wrenching problem in Xixia, and only the major families that had not yet completely chosen to surrender.

Two days later.

Changsha.

Zhongsun Guge, the envoy of the Western Xia Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, hurried to the palace to seek to see Zhao Dongting.

At this time, Yue Peng and Zhao Hu had already led the Tiankui army to Xiangyang Prefecture.

It doesn’t take much time for the formal establishment of Xianglong Military Region.

Zhao Dongting only issued an order to let Yao Yushi be the governor of Tongchuan Prefecture Road, Xi Yi be the governor of Chengdu Prefecture Road, and sent Ren Wei to the outside of the Shuzhong Military Region to serve as Marshal, so he returned to his leisurely life.

For example, he has handed over taxes, grain and silver, water conservancy, civil affairs and other matters in the court. He has given Lu Xiufu and others all the officials in charge. And the officials of various departments are also in charge of them.

Zhao Dongting had no intention of taking back these powers at all.

The king governs his ministers and the ministers govern the people. Zhao Dongting did not mean to do anything personally, nor had he ever done this before.

This is a kind of trust in the ministers and a kind of self-confidence.

Zhao Dongting, who created the great Song Dynasty in just a few years, believed that even if he delegated power, Lu Xiufu and others would not be willing to let the Song Dynasty be full of holes.

After receiving the eunuch's report to Zhongsun Guge, Zhao Dongting walked from his bedroom to the imperial study.

Only a little hurrying.

He had forgotten some things before, but now Zhongsun Guge suddenly asked for a meeting, of course he remembered something.

Calculate the time, if Li Xiushu is really pregnant, it should be the time to give birth.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting's first sentence when he saw Zhongsun Guge was, "Is it the empress who has sent me a letter?"

Zhongsun Guge looked at Zhao Dongting and was a little surprised, "That's it."

Then he handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Dongting.

He didn't even dare to open this letter and read it.

Zhao Dongting opened the letter, "Birth of Li Zuoxiao, sent to Helian's family for raising him."

There are only a few words in the letter.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but frown slightly after seeing it, muttering to himself, "Send it to Helian's house to raise it?"
