In the Chugong Hall, Liu E handed a piece of information to Li Zhang and said, "Look, you have caused great harm to others. Now I don't know how many people have died."

When Li Zhang heard this, he happily took the information and opened it and looked carefully. It turned out that since Li Deming's death, his second son Li Chengyu publicly announced that Li Deming handed over Dangxiang's throne to him before his death, so he also returned to Xingzhou as quickly as possible to replace Li Deming.

However, when Li Deming was alive, he always treated Li Yuanhao as his successor to train him. Moreover, Li Yuanhao was born to Li Deming's wife, the Weizang family. The Weizang family is also a large clan second only to the royal family. It has a great influence in Dangxiang. Even if Li Yuanhao is already disabled, they are still unwilling to hand over power to others.

So in this case, Li Chengyu and the Memi family behind him formed the same faction, while the Wuzang family pushed the disabled Li Yuanhaoqiang to form another faction, and both sides were also in power within the Dangxiang.

At the beginning, Meme and Mozang had not yet been able to win over other forces within the Dangxiang, so the two sides seemed to be more restrained. Although there was constant conflict in secret, they had not yet broken up on the surface, and they were just secretly increasing their speed to win over those neutral tribes.

Just over a month ago, the forces within Dangxiang were finally divided. Li Chengyu and Li Yuanhao completely divided Dangxiang into two, and the secret struggle finally came to the open. For such a power struggle, either you die or I live, it is impossible for a second situation. So the battle between the brothers finally broke out completely, and the two sides launched a battle to seize the throne in Xingzhou City.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Li Chengyu had a greater advantage, because Li Yuanhao was disabled after all, which led to many people within Dangxiang's dislike him, so they defected to Li Chengyu one after another. In the end, Li Chengyu's subordinates almost concentrated two-thirds of Dangxiang's strength. Li Yuanhao's subordinates mainly rely on the influence of Wuzang's family. He himself was just a decoration.

But no one expected that Li Yuanhao, who had become a useless man, actually cheered up. After the war began, he actually took over the army of the Wuzang clan, and then personally directed a battle with his younger brother. In the end, he defeated the more with less and drove Li Chengyu out of Xingzhou City.

However, although this war ended temporarily with Li Yuanhao's victory, Dangxiang's civil strife did not end, because although Li Chengyu was driven out of Xingzhou City, at least he was still alive, and he also had a large number of troops in his hands, and he had the strength to make a comeback.

It is also worth mentioning that after this civil strife, both Li Yuanhao and Li Chengyu were seriously injured, especially Li Yuanhao. Although he defeated more with less, the casualties he paid were also very heavy. It can be said that Li Deming had accumulated more than ten years of strength, but now almost all of them were destroyed in this civil strife. It is said that even the palace built by Li Deming during his lifetime was destroyed by a fire. For this reason, the Party Xiang people were also discussing whether to give up Qingzhou City because they were worried that the Song Dynasty or Liao Kingdom would take the opportunity to destroy them.

"It's a pity that Li Yuanhao actually cheered up, and defeating Li Chengyu was a waste of my previous efforts!" After reading the information in his hand, Li Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed. He had already created such good conditions for Li Chengyu, but he was still defeated. From this we can see that this person's ability is not very good. If he was the leader of Dang Xiang in the future, there would be less trouble in the Song Dynasty.

"Haha, you can speak sarcastic words, but now Li Yuanhao and Li Cheng meet the two of them have also raised a problem for our Song Dynasty." Liu E smiled calmly at this time, and then handed the two documents to Li Zhang again.

Li Zhang took it and opened it and looked at it. He found that the two documents were written to seek peace from the Song Dynasty, and the content was almost the same. However, these two documents were sent by the brothers Li Yuanhao and Li Chengyu, and they both requested to be enthroned by the Song Dynasty in the end. After all, they were nominally attached to the Song Dynasty. Li Deming had received enthroned by the Song Dynasty in the past, but Dang Xiang did not care about such enthrones in the past, but now they are seeking enthrones in the Song Dynasty.

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just two documents requesting enthronement? I think no one is enthroned, just send a large army to destroy them. Now the northwest can reduce most of the external troubles!" Li Zhang replied immediately after reading it without thinking. In his opinion, Dangxiang is to eliminate all evil things, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"It's light, war requires money. Our Song Dynasty looks good on the surface, but the national treasury has long been empty. In the past two years, I have tried my best to let the people recuperate. Although I have recovered some vitality, I am far from able to start a war. In order to build muskets, I even used the sealed trunk left by Emperor Taizu!" Liu E glared at Li Zhang fiercely when she heard this.

The Fengshukuan is one of the inner treasuries of the palace, but its origin is very interesting, because after Zhao Kuangyin failed to attack the Liao Kingdom, he thought it was impossible to recover Yan Yun by force, so he confiscated the gold and silk of various separatist forces in the palace, intending to use this money to buy back the Sixteen State of Yanyun from the Liao Kingdom. As a result, the money was not saved enough, and Zhao Kuangyin died inexplicably. The Fengshukuan was also changed to the Right Cang Warehouse by Zhao Guangyi, which was later called the inner treasury, which belongs to one of the inner treasuries of the palace.

As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, he did not want to use force to recover lost territory, but had to use money to buy back the lost territory. This idea is both laughable and sad. It is probably one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty has been in a weak position in terms of force. Fortunately, the sealing tent was finally used by Liu E on the musket, which was also considered to be the correct place.

"If you can't beat it, seek peace. This is the old measure of the Dangxiang people. Li Jiqian used this method to preserve his strength, thus making Dangxiang grow into a border trouble in the northwest. Now Li Yuanhao and Li Chengyu are just learning from their grandfather. They want to use this method to delay time and solve internal affairs. I am sure that as long as one of them wins, they will definitely cause trouble in the northwest border again in the future!" Li Zhang curled his lips at this time. The Dangxiang people's methods were not innovative at all, but the Song Dynasty took their tricks, which was really hard to understand.

"I don't understand what you said. It's just that now is not the time for war, so I still have to appease you for the time being. You are most familiar with Dangxiang's situation, so I asked you to come here just to listen to your opinions and stop saying the angry words above!" Liu E said seriously again at this time.
