    Zhao Zhao stayed in Lanzhou for a few days and then returned to Chang'an. With Jing Sili on the Hexi front line and Shen Kuo on the logistics support, he could just sit in Chang'an and lead the overall situation.  As soon as he returned to Prince Qin¡¯s Mansion, Li Cheng sent the latest information.  First of all, it was from Bianjing. News came from the palace that Zhao Xu's condition was getting more and more serious. Maybe his death was not far away, which meant that he didn't have much time left for him.  Regarding the candidate for the reserve position, it has still not been decided. Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao have different opinions.  Gao Taotao wanted to support his second son Zhao Hao, but Zhao Xu seemed to intend to support his young son Zhao Xu.  This is a good phenomenon. If mother and son were of the same mind, it would be difficult to handle.  And there are signs that Zhao Xu may have left an imperial edict to Queen Xiang.  "Queen Xiang, we have neglected it before!" Zhao Zhao suddenly realized that if Zhao Xu died from now on, Queen Xiang could also play a decisive role.  Li Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, there was some oversight. I will summon Di Gong immediately and pay more attention to the queen." "There is also the edict in her hand. Try to understand the content and related situations so that you can use it when necessary.  Article! "Zhao Zhao has a plan, and a head-on confrontation between the two sides is inevitable.  But some things in the name of justice are also very important, and any possible favorable factors must be explored.  "Yes!" Li Cheng bit the bullet and agreed. Although the matter was difficult to handle, it was not impossible.  "Well, very good!" Zhao Zhao was very satisfied with Li Cheng being able to quickly understand what he meant.  " Later, we saw that intelligence showed that Zhao Xu had summoned Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu, and sent him to labor in the northwest.     well!  Zhao Xu always likes to do these tricks, trying every means to place his own people in the northwest, always thinking of dealing with himself.  This time, his uncle was actually sent here.  The Zong Zhengqing was tricked last time in the Yong'an Imperial Mausoleum. I don't know what will happen this time Zhao Zhao sneered and said: "Humph, Laojun? I'm afraid you are not well-intentioned!" Li Chengdao: "Indeed. Di Gong has been close  Zhao Zongsheng was under surveillance. He went somewhere that night!" "Where?" "Yuhang County Prince's Mansion!" Zhao Zhao frowned and had a very indifferent impression of this person.  After all, it has been several years, and I am busy every day and come into contact with too many people and things. How can I keep all the insignificant cats and dogs in my heart?  Li Cheng added in time: "Your Highness, this person is the murderer of the illegal salt case you investigated in Hangzhou. He has been imprisoned by Zhao Xu in the backyard of the mansion in recent years." As the personal bodyguard and chief assistant of King Qin, these things are clear.  Zong had already traced it clearly, and Li Chengquan knew it well and could provide it to the King of Qin at any time.  Zhao Zhao suddenly said: "It's him. I guess their whole family hates me. Zhao Zongsheng went to find them. Why are you so worried?" Li Chengdao: "We are already prepared to be on guard against Zhao Zongsheng's possible tricks." "Beware.  That's for sure. Wouldn't it be better if we could invite you to the urn?" Zhao Zhao said with a smile: "Zhao Zongsheng is the core figure of Zhao Yunrang. If we can capture him, there may be unexpected results." "Yes, I will prepare now!  " "Yeah!" Zhao Zhao smiled lightly.  In this game, many times you don't need to take the initiative, you just need to see the tricks and take advantage of the situation to counterattack.  So it's probably like striking from behind. Having a weird opponent like Zhao Xu is considered lucky.  Zhao Zhao then picked up another piece of intelligence from the Liao State. The Xixia envoys asked the Liao State for help, but the Liao State refused.  This result is a little unexpected. Did the Liao Kingdom just give up on Xixia?  Reason told him.  impossible.  From this point of view, the Liao Kingdom might have a bigger plot.  This matter must be weighed. Even if Xixia is completely destroyed, the strength of the Song Dynasty, especially in military terms, is still far behind that of the Liao Kingdom.  But it may also be related to the power struggle between Yelu Jun and Yelu Yixin in this matter.  The two men differed greatly.  Yelu Hongji seems to be helping his son more, I'm afraid Yelu Yixin will be very unhappy!  Even if they only met him once, Zhao Zhao knew that he was a restless person.  Calculated according to time.  The day when the two are incompatible with each other is coming soon.  Maybe it won't be long before there will be excitement over there in the Liao Kingdom!  There were some other pieces of information that seemed insignificant, but the Mingyue Sect¡¯s spies were very cautious and recorded them all, and Zhao Zhao also took a careful look at them.  Lord Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty dotes on his concubine Xiao Tansi. Old cows eat tender grass, it¡¯s the same everywhere!  But if this happens, Queen Xiao Guanyin's life will definitely be difficult.  As expected, Zhao Zhao saw the ten poems "Returning to the Heart" written by Xiao Guanyin.  The loneliness in the palace and the feeling of being left out are revealed in the writing.  Back in Liaodong, she had experienced something like thisThe situation is even worse now.  While Zhao Zhao was sighing secretly, he was suddenly shocked. "Back to the Heart" came out, so can "Ten Fragrance Ci" be far behind?  That thing is the talisman that reminds Xiao Guanyin to die. Prince Yelu Jun also died because of it. It was a major turmoil in the Liao Kingdom during the reign of Yelu Hongji.  Logically speaking, if Yelu Jun died, it would only be good for the Song Dynasty and not harmful.  But what about Xiao Guanyin?  When it came to this woman, Zhao Zhao felt that he could not stay out of the matter. ????????????????????????? There was a one-night romance back then, and there was some emotion there.  Husband and wife for one day, although their hundred days have passed long ago, their "favor" has not been broken, and there is always a trace of special thoughts.  How can you just watch a beauty suffer disaster?  This matter must be intervened.  "Li Cheng, let me tell you something" Zhao Xu then whispered a few instructions.  "Yes!" When Li Cheng accepted the order, there was a little more suspicion in his eyes. Could it be thatHis Royal Highness King Qin is really powerful!  "By the way, is the safe passage ready?" Zhao Zhao suddenly remembered the matter and asked solemnly.  Li Chengdao: "It's done. We can definitely transfer the princess and the prince safely!" Zhao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It must be done properly without any omissions. Start preparing now. Maybe it may be used at any time!"  " "Yes!" Li Cheng felt inexplicably excited when he mentioned this matter, and finally wanted to take action. ?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zhao Zhao was originally focused on the situation in Bianjing and was planning major events, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected situation in Xixia.  Because of the appearance of one person, Xixia, which was already in danger, became turbulent again.  Lingxia climbed to the southeast bank of the Yellow River and the country was destroyed, leaving only a corner of Xixia's living space. All this was caused during the reign of the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yimi, and they naturally became the responsible persons!  The party nobles were very dissatisfied with this and complained.  In the past, due to some exchanges of interests and mutual checks and balances, a temporary balance was still able to be maintained.  But as the Song army's offensive in Hexi became more and more fierce, and the Liao Kingdom refused to send troops to assist, Xixia's situation became worse and worse.  People were panicked and in turmoil, and the temporary balance in Xixia was also broken.  The party nobles were very dissatisfied, and their reactions became more and more intense.  Under the crisis, Liang Yimi did not have any effective measures to appease him in a short period of time, so he could only suppress him roughly.  This kind of thing is like a spring, which can either completely overwhelm it and prevent it from turning over. Unfortunately, Liang Yimi did not do it.  As a result, the more powerful he suppressed, the stronger the resistance of the party nobles became.  Finally one day, the delicate balance was broken, and because of the appearance of a person, the situation worsened.  This person is Wei Minglangyu. He is the younger brother of Li Yuanhao and the grandfather of Li Bingchang. He is the great-grandfather of the current Xixia small country leader.  There is no doubt that this person is of high status and has high moral standards.  Especially during the Li Liangzuo era, he once presided over government affairs in the court and had a high prestige.  But after Li Liangzuo died, the Liang family came to power, and Liang Yi buried himself in order to control the court.  Wei Minglangyu was an upright person and was unwilling to flatter the Liang family. As Li Yuanhao's younger brother, he would not lower his noble head easily.  The Liang family was naturally dissatisfied, so they tried their best to suppress Wei Minglangyu, and finally drove him out of the Xixia court.  Wei Minglangyu has been unknown for many years. It was not until last year that Xixia suffered an unprecedented defeat that Weiming Langyu finally couldn't sit still and spoke out.  But then Li Bingchang died, and the internal power struggle in Xixia became fierce. Under Liang Yimi's strong suppression, Wei Minglang was defeated and fell ill in Xiping Mansion.  It is said that he had a stroke, he could not speak, he was terminally ill, and there was a possibility of death at any time.  Liang Yimi didn¡¯t pay attention and was busy dealing with other things.  But something unexpected happened recently. The old man recovered from his illness and became the leader of the party nobles, working together to fight against the strength of his relatives led by Liang Yimi.  Xixia, which was already struggling to survive, has intensified internal strife and become increasingly fragmented.  The Liang family controls Xingqing Mansion in the capital, while Wei Minglangyu controls Xiping Mansion. The party aristocrats and foreign relatives confront each other.  Wei Minglangyu was capable and extraordinary in government affairs and military affairs. The party members were deeply impressed and now they all look up to him.  Even the party members in Xingqing Mansion began to make moves.  Opportunity is definitely an opportunity for Song Dynasty.  Zhao Zhao originally thought that he would take a defensive stance first and stabilize the overall situation in Bianjing before finally dealing with Xixia, but he did not expect that such an unexpected opportunity would arise.  Especially Wei Minglangyu took the initiative to contact Song Jun, showing great interest in cooperation.  If this is the case, Xixia should be dealt with first, and the northwest will completely become its stable rear area, and then it can focus on seeking the throne.  Zhao Zhao took the opportunityAfter a while, he left Chang'an again and rushed to Mingsha to get in touch with Wei Minglangyu.  The northwest army has also begun to fully mobilize, and the final battle against Xixia is about to begin.  Not long after Zhao Zhao left, Pu Wang Zhao Zongsheng came.  Unfortunately, while King Qin was away, Zhao Zongsheng did not return immediately, but stayed in Chang'an.  If King Qin really destroyed Xixia, rewards would be even more necessary.  Furthermore, the things specially assigned by the officials have not been completed yet, so how can we just go back home?  It's better to wait, there is plenty of time anyway, Chang'an is much safer than Bianjing.
