Chapter 911 The reaction of the imperial concubine
After listening to Tong Guan's words, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others froze there, their faces uglier than the last, and even Liu Guangshi, who had a slightly grumpy temper, subconsciously wanted to say something.
However, Tong Guan, who still knew a little about his men, had a movement in his body, and he immediately stopped Liu Guangshi and said: "Shut up."
This is on the march, surrounded by large armies. Moreover, they are not too far away from Chu Yi's carriage at the moment. With Chu Yi's cultivation, Tong Guan naturally knows that the conversation between them cannot be hidden from Chu Yi at all.
.
That's all, he didn't say anything extreme, but if a few of his subordinates were allowed to talk nonsense, it would not be a good thing if Chu Yi remembered them.
After glaring at Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun, Tong Guan said: "Tong will stay with the general manager to praise the military aircraft. I will leave the military affairs to you. During these days when Tong is away, you
You must perform your duties loyally. If there is something wrong in the army when Tong returns, Tong will not let you wait."
Tong Guan had spoken to such an extent that Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others also understood at this moment. It was obvious that they were already here, and it would be difficult for Tong Guan to leave with them.
Possibly, so all they can do is pray that Chu Yi has no ill intentions towards Tong Guan and returns to the army to take charge of the Western Army for Tong Guan.
As long as the Western Army has more than 100,000 elite border troops in hand, Chu Yi should have some scruples even if he wants to deal with Tong Guan.
After thinking about this, they looked at each other and saluted Tong Guan: "Please take care of me, Mr. En. I will definitely take charge of the troops in the army for Mr. En."
Tong Guan waved his hand to signal Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others to leave.
Just when Chu Yi sent troops, the news had already spread through the Xixia spies lurking in Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty.
The ability of Xixia Yipintang is not bad, and it is such a huge news. Xixia Yipintang really sent strong masters to rush on the road non-stop, but it took less than a day to cross a thousand miles.
Far away, he sent the news to the capital of Xixia.
Prince Li Renxiao, who had been riding home at high speed along the way, had just arrived in the capital of Xixia.
Li Renxiao sent someone to take Li Qinglu back to the palace, and he went directly to the Imperial Study Room to ask for an audience with Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun was handling government affairs in the royal study, when suddenly a chamberlain came to speak to him, saying that it was the prince who wanted to see him.
Li Qianshun, who was reviewing the memorial, shook the brush in his hand slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the memorial. Li Qianshun did not notice it.
After coming back to his senses, Li Qian said in passing: "Send the prince to come quickly."
Prince Li Renxiao was just outside the imperial study. Hearing the movement in the imperial study, he immediately walked into the imperial study and first said to Li Qianshun: "My son pays homage to the king."
Li Qianshun stared at Li Renxiao, waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please stand up and talk. As a father, I would like to ask you, how is your trip to the Song Dynasty going?"
Li Qianshun was naturally concerned about whether the trip went smoothly and whether their goal was achieved. But Li Qianshun stared at Li Renxiao, but he could tell something was wrong from Li Renxiao's face.
Li Cunxiao's expression was really too solemn, and just one glance made him feel a little bad. As expected, he heard Li Cunxiao say to him: "Please forgive me, father, the child has already taken the third sister with him."
Come back."
Li Qianshun, who exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at Li Renxiao and said, "So, Chu Yi is bent on destroying me, Xixia?"
In fact, Li Qianshun was not too surprised by this. He wanted to seduce Chu Yi with his beauty and even make Chu Yi change his mind. This in itself had a bit of luck and gambling thoughts.
For Chu Yi to be able to reach this stage from a servant to today, he must be a determined person. For such people, once they make a decision, they will not be easily influenced by the outside world and change their mind.
Even knowing this, Li Qianshun still tried. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, Li Qianshun would not give up.
In fact, it was the battle that destroyed the Jin Dynasty that made Li Qianshun realize that the gap between Xixia and the Song Dynasty was so big that even he, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, was not optimistic about it. Otherwise, how could he be willing to be ridiculed by the world? , and gained a reputation as a man who sacrificed his daughter to protect himself.
Li Renxiao originally thought that his father would have a huge reaction, but he did not expect that Li Renxiao's reaction would be so calm. He couldn't help but look at Li Qianshun in surprise.
Li Qianshun may have been mentally prepared, so he quickly accepted this bad news that could be regarded as bad news for Xixia.
However, as the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, Li Qianshun had some determination. He glanced at Li Renxiao and said, "Renxiao, please tell me the story of your trip."
Even if Li Renxiao told Li Qianshun everything about their trip, he was still unmoved when he heard Li Renxiao talk about Chu Yi facing two peerless beauties like Li Qinglu and Wang Yuyan. By the way, I couldn't help but sigh: "How unfair is God that this man was born in the Song Dynasty..."
Li Renxiao looked at Li Qianshun with worry and said: "Father, the Song Dynasty is already raising food and military equipment, and may raise troops to conquer Xixia at any time. Please make a decision early!"
While he was speaking, a voice sounded outside the royal study: "Your Majesty, the head of Xixia Yipin Hall, Helian Yingqi, wants to see you!"
Li Qianshun frowned and said: "Pass!"
Xixia Yipintang has always been in the hands of the Helian family, but the Helian family is also loyal to the Xixia royal family, so despite the fact that the Helian family has suffered a great loss in the hands of Chu Yi, even the ancestors of the family have fallen into it. However, Xixia Yipintang was still handed over to the Helian family by Li Qianshun.
Of course, sometimes loyalty alone is not enough, you also need to have enough strength. Otherwise, there are so many ministers who are loyal to the emperor. Why are some of them valued by the emperor, while others are regarded as nothing by the emperor? Woolen cloth.
The Helian family's real support is that there is an old monster in the realm of heaven and man in the family. Of course, except for the royal family and the core members of the Helian family, few people in Xixia know this.
Helian Yingqi walked into the imperial study, glanced at the crown prince Li Renxiao who was sitting there and was slightly startled. However, he quickly came to his senses, stepped forward and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Helian Yingqi, pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty." ."
Li Qianshun looked at Helian Yingqi and said, "I don't need to be polite if I love you. The Qing family is here to ask for an audience. Is there something important?"
Helian Yingqi's expression became serious, and she turned to Li Qianshun with a somewhat solemn look on her face: "Reporting to your majesty, the news came from Yipintang's spies who were lurking in Bianliang City from thousands of miles away. Just yesterday, the Song Dynasty named Chu Yi as the Handsome, send a hundred thousand troops, a mighty force, heading straight towards our Xixia..."
With a bang, the tea cup in the hands of Prince Li Renxiao, who was sitting nearby, shook and fell from his hands. His face was full of horror and he said: "What, the Song Dynasty actually sent troops!"
Regardless of whether it was Li Renxiao or Li Qianshun, although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they still couldn't help being shocked when they suddenly heard the news.
This news really came too suddenly. In their opinion, it took less than a year for the Song Dynasty to overthrow the Jin Dynasty. It is said that the Song Dynasty would have spent at least three or two years digesting the gains from the destruction of the Jin Dynasty. .
Wouldn't it be better to wait until the troops and horses raised by the Song Dynasty are strong before sending troops, but they never expected that the Song Dynasty would send troops in such a hurry.
As for whether Yipintang's spies got the wrong information, to be honest, Li Qianshun really came up with such a mistake. However, if the person in charge of Yipintang does not confirm the news again and again, it is impossible to pass the news back. of.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qianshun immediately summoned a group of important ministers to discuss matters.
At the same time, Li Qianshun said to Li Renxiao: "Your Majesty, please go quickly and invite the two clan elders to come and say that we have something important to discuss."
The biggest support of the Xixia royal family is the two clan elders who are in the realm of heaven and man. When such a big thing happens, it is naturally impossible for Li Qianshun not to invite these two people to come and take charge.
There were only Li Renxiao and Li Qianshun in the imperial study at the moment, and even the chamberlains who were serving on the side also left the imperial study.
Li Renxiao, who stood up, glanced at Li Qianshun and said tentatively: "Father, would you like me to go and see the emperor's grandmother..."
After hearing this, Li Qianshun's face immediately became a little ugly, as if he wanted to get angry, but in the end he nodded helplessly towards Li Renxiao and said, "Go and see your grandmother."
As the Crown Princess of Xixia and the mother-in-law of Li Qianshun, Li Qianshun has extremely complicated feelings. It is said that Li Qiushui, as the Princess of Xixia, has a distinguished status. However, judging from Li Qianshun's reaction, it is obvious that Li Qianshun seems to be extremely reluctant to Li Qiushui. mentioned.
This is a scandal involving the Xixia royal family. It is an issue related to the royal family's face. Naturally, Li Qianshun is very reluctant to mention it.
But one thing has to be said, that is, although Li Qiushui, as the Crown Princess, was a scandal to the Xixia royal family, she was also an extremely powerful help.
Not to mention the Xiaoyao Sect behind Li Qiu Shui, Li Qiu Shui himself is something that the royal family dare not underestimate. You must know that Li Qiu Shui is now a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man, and Li Qiu Shui is no better than the two from the Xixia clan. The so-called heavenly beings, the two clan heavenly beings relied on the great fortune of the world to a certain extent to break through with the help of the royal family's luck, while Li Qiu Shui relied on his own strength to break through. When it comes to strength, Li Qiu Shui broke through. Qiu Shui can completely crush those two clan heavenly beings.
If it weren't for Xixia's survival this time, Li Qianshun definitely didn't want to hear any news about Li Qiushui, but at this moment, he had to let Li Renxiao go to see Li Qiushui.
Li Renxiao first went to visit the two clan elders, then hurriedly left the palace and headed straight for Qiushui Mountain, dozens of miles outside the imperial city.
I won’t mention the original name of Qiu Shui Mountain, but after Li Qiushui settled in the mountain, it was renamed Qiu Shui Mountain.
Although the mountain is not high, it is well-known in Xixia because of the name of Li Qiushui. At this moment, Li Renxiao came quickly and quickly entered the mountain.
In a pure place in the mountains, in a quiet canyon, a luxurious building complex appeared in sight. It is conceivable that such a continuous building complex was built in this valley, which is only possible for the royal family.
of strength.
A group of outstanding-looking maids were busy in various palaces. When someone noticed Li Renxiao striding towards him, someone immediately came to greet him.
This was a female official. When the female official saw Li Renxiao, she quickly saluted Li Renxiao and said, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know that His Highness was coming. I missed you at a distance. Please forgive me."
Li Renxiao glanced at the female official and said, "The king is here to ask for an audience with the emperor's grandmother. Please pass the news on my behalf."
The female officer led Li Renxiao into a palace and said, "Your Highness, please rest here for a while, and I will go to visit you now."
In a luxurious palace, the scent of sandalwood fills the air lightly, a figure is vaguely visible between the veils, and with the sound of clear water, several maids dressed in gauze are serving a woman to bathe in the hot spring.
A hot spring is completely integrated into a palace, which shows the luxury here. The female official walked cautiously into the palace, then bowed and said: "Return to the concubine, the prince is outside asking for an audience."
Li Qiu Shui, who was bathing under the service of the maid, said calmly: "Oh, isn't that good son of the Ai family always unwilling to talk to the Ai family? Why is he willing to let his crown prince come to ask for an audience with the Ai family..."
While talking, a slim figure walked out of the hot spring, and the clear water drops immediately rolled down the smooth jade skin, dripping to the ground, making a slight ticking sound.
Two maids hurriedly came forward to help Li Qiu Shui wipe his body, and another maid changed Li Qiu Shui's clothes. After almost a cup of tea, Li Qiu Shui came out after finishing his preparations.
If anyone of Li Qiu Shui's contemporaries saw it, their eyes would probably fall off. You must know that Li Qiu Shui is at least seventy or eighty years old, but at this moment, Li Qiu Shui looks like nothing more.
Only thirty years old.
The beautiful Li Qiu Shui walked into the main hall. Li Renxiao, who was waiting in the main hall, stood up almost instinctively when he saw this. Then he quickly bowed to Li Qiu Shui and said, "My grandson has met the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother."
Wan'an."
With a faint glance at Li Renxiao, Li Qiushui, who sat down, took a cup of tea from the maid's hand, took a sip and said: "How could your cheap man be willing to let you come to see the Ai family? Could it be that something happened in the court?"
Something?"
Li Renxiao drooped his head, then knelt on the ground with a thud, and said to Li Qiu Shui: "Emperor Grandma, please save Xixia, Xixia is going to perish..."
It must be said that Li Renxiao's behavior even made Li Qiushui stunned for a moment, looking at Li Renxiao who was kneeling in front of him with a look of shock.
Frowning slightly, Li Qiushui stared at Li Renxiao and said: "What's the decency of crying and crying? Let's tell the Ai family what happened. Xixia has been a country for nearly a hundred years, and those two old guys are still in charge in the clan.
, how can we be in danger of destroying our country?"
Li Renxiao told the story of the Song Dynasty sending troops to conquer Xixia. Li Qiushui said rather disdainfully: "The Song Dynasty sent troops to conquer Xixia not once or twice. Even an army of more than ten or two hundred thousand was commonplace. A mere hundred thousand
What's the point of having soldiers and horses? When did your cheap man become so cowardly that a mere hundred thousand soldiers and horses frightened you into looking like this?"
Li Renxiao smiled bitterly and said: "But... but the person who is commanding the troops this time is the King of Song Dynasty, the general manager of the world's military forces, Chu Yi..."
Li Qiushui, who was sitting there, sipping tea, couldn't help coughing violently, and stared at Li Renxiao with a gloomy face: "Who do you think is commanding the army?"
Li Renxiao's reaction to Li Qiushui was not surprising at all. Others didn't know about the grudges between Xiaoyao Sect and Chu Yi, so didn't he still know about it?
Sure enough, when Chu Yi's name was mentioned, the royal grandmother finally reacted a little.
