Chapter 600: Prime Minister, We Must Be Stronger First
Chapter 600
After comforting Liang Rui, who was only thirteen years old, after watching him fall asleep, Liang Yiqi slowly got up and left the room, and ordered the guards beside him to take care of his beloved son, then rushed to the study.
"The Prime Minister, the king of the country is not trustworthy." Soon, among all the trusted subordinates who received the order of Liang Yi, the always resourceful Huwei stroked the goatee's beard, and the squinting eyes were flashing.
"Tell me what you think." Liang Yipeng picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, indicating that Huwu continued.
"If the king really relies on you as your backer and backer, you shouldn't mention your marriage matters without mentioning it. Although the Empress Dowager has been a prisoner at the ranks, you are his uncle and have been in charge of the Daxia national affairs for nearly fifteen years."
"The marriage of the king is not only a family and country, but also a major policy of a country. Such a major event, the king sent envoys several times, except for urging the prime minister to return to the capital, without mentioning a word, isn't it doubtful?"
Wen Qi nodded with deep conscience. "Although the king of the country is young, the prime minister has to consider the eight tribes of the Dangxiang tribes and the Northern Liao envoys' influence on our Daxia, which can definitely influence the court."
"What's more, although the king's letter said very beautifully, now he has led the garrison army to Yanzhou. What does this mean? The king does not believe in the prime minister at all, and you are very careful about the prime minister."
"Everyone knows these, but now, Song Ting has not replied to the original person. Alas..." Liang Yibu rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said helplessly.
"The prime minister should not be worried. Song Ting has always held a grudge against Daxia invading its borders. If he had the opportunity to take revenge, he would not let it go. Now, it is just a test of the patience between you and Song Ting."
"As long as Li Qianshun has not made up his mind to lead the whole country's troops to fight, then we will still have the capital to continue to talk with Song Ting."
"If the king was about to show his favor to the prime minister, he should not have imprisoned all the Liang clans and actually fed them with pigs and dogs. Such behavior would not be willing to treat the prime minister and Liang as their help. It is clearly a sharpening of the knife."
Speaking of this, Liang Yibi's face became more and more gloomy. He had carefully asked his third son Liang Rui before these confidants arrived.
Coupled with the judgments of the civil and military officials under his command, Liang Yibu knew very well that returning to Xingqing Mansion would definitely be a dead end for him.
"Sir, Prime Minister, this is news from Xingqing Mansion..." While discussing, a general outside rushed into the study room, took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it respectfully.
Soon, Liang Yifu's guard took it and opened it, poured out a longan-sized wax ball. After crushing it, there was a thin piece of silk full of fine regular script.
"Okay, okay, okay, what a Li Qianshun. It seems that he is really determined to kill me, my uncle, to be willing to be willing..." After reading the secret letter in his hand, Liang Yibing suddenly laughed, but the laughter seemed particularly gloomy.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong?" After a group of civil and military officials looked at each other, Huwu asked first.
"You can see for yourself. Our king is not just trying to kill my Liang clan. Humph, I think he is clearly trying to use this great defeat to eliminate all the tribes outside the eight tribes of Dangxiang in one fell swoop..." Liang Yibi groaned and threw the secret letter on the table.
Huwu picked up the secret letter, took a few glances, and then couldn't help but take a deep breath. In the past, before the Liang family took office, the most prominent eight tribes of the Dangxiang almost controlled the entire court.
Moreover, nearly two-thirds of the troops in Xixia were the soldiers of the Dangxiang Eighth tribes, and after decades of operation after the Liang Dynasty, the Dangxiang Eighth tribes accounted for only one-third in the court, and the rest were mostly from many Dangxiang tribes, Han people, and Fan people who defected to the Liang family to enter the political rights center of Xixia.
But Li Ganshun had only been in power for more than a month. The family of a deputy prime minister who was loyal to the Liang family was executed, and more than 20 important officials who were not Dangxiang clans were either killed or imprisoned.
Among the Tubo tribes, Zhao Xian, who served as the Minister of War in the Western Xia court, was actually charged with treason for rebellion, and all his family were slaughtered.
Now, whether it is Han or French, high-ranking officials and nobles above the fourth rank have been almost wiped out, and almost only Dangxiang people are left.
Now, Li Ganshun is discussing with the Liao envoy. Li Ganshun is willing to marry a daughter of the Liao royal family. He is still hesitant about the Liao envoy's voluntary request to send a large army to help Xixia quell the rebellion.
What he hesitated was not that the Liao Kingdom sent troops to help Xixia quell the rebellion, but that the Northern Liao envoy proposed that if the Liao Kingdom sent troops to quell the rebellion, it would be necessary to cut off the territory of the northern part of Xixia.
In a word, Li Ganshun completely regarded their army as betrayers, or an unstable factor that must be wiped out.
Liang Yiqiu slapped the table hard with a harsh palm. "Damn the child, he used vicious means to kill all my left and right arms in the court. He even told me that he was the most concerned about his nephew and uncle."
"Master, the main thing in the country is not only military power. He wants to kill people to establish his authority, but also wants to kill us to establish his authority..." Huo Wen took a deep breath, shook the secret letter, and said with a tragic smile.
Perhaps before, many people had some fantasies about Li Ganshun, but now, after seeing this bloody secret letter, they all understood a truth. When they could see Li Ganshun, they would be waiting for their heads.
"It's still the Prime Minister who is far-sighted and has always believed that the Song army had the intention of invading the north, and the troops were stationed here. Otherwise, our industry might be out of stock at this moment and become the ghost under the sword of Weiming Awu, Renduo Zhongbao and others."
"Prime Minister, in fact, I also think that as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live on, it is better to be killed by Li Ganshun..."
"I have my own concerns about this matter, but from today on, you will keep an eye on the party and soldiers who are still in the Jianing Military Office. If there is any abnormal movement, you can make a decision at the moment. You must not let them leave with all their heads. At that time, it will become our obstacle."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely look forward to them for you."
"Wait, sir, I think we can't continue to be so passive now..." Huo Wen drank the companions who were about to leave the study and gave a deep bow to Liang Yipeng.
"What does this mean?" Liang Yibi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Huwu who was leaning as a think tank, and asked slowly.
"Since you have decided, then we must first take action, so that we can take the initiative in our hands and never look back."
