Chapter 2589

The next day, the princes from all walks of life were ready to set off to return to their fiefs after finishing dealing with the affairs of the court.

The Holy Majesty's decree came down, and he stopped the Xixia King Li Yuanhao in the inn and asked him to go to the pilgrimage to see him.

Li Yuanhao didn't know what was going on, so he accepted the imperial edict and stood there with a sullen face.

Song Gongming in the same building hurried up, stuffed some spiritual stones for the servant who passed the decree, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why your Majesty suddenly summoned him?"

The servant waved his whisk, put it on his wrist and smiled softly, "Of course it's a good thing, and it's a very good thing. Please don't delay, so that His Majesty won't get angry."

"Just go, I am afraid that those treacherous ministers will fail?"

The King of Xixia faintly guessed that it was Cai Jing and his party who were causing trouble, but he still brought people into the palace with his servants to listen to the order.

Outside the Jinluan Palace, the King of Xixia knelt at the bottom of the 99th floor.

A servant announced to him, "I have always asked the king of Xixia to be loyal to the country, and he is well-mannered at the edge of the town. I want to reward him. I will reward ten thousand pieces of silk and satin, enfeoff a thousand hectares of land, and add the word "loyal king", ranking first among you. "

The king of Xixia frowned, not knowing which opera the emperor was singing.

Immediately afterwards, the servant said something that made his head dizzy, "I have been cultivating the world all these years, and all the subjects in the world have surrendered. Su Wen, the king of Xixia, taught his daughter well, and his daughter, Li Shishi, is well-behaved and proficient in poetry. Book rituals and music. I would like to have a marriage with the King of Xixia, and Li Shishi, the daughter of King Naxixia, will enter the palace as a concubine to show the royal kindness!"

The king of Xixia's head vibrated, and for a while, he couldn't hear the sound from outside.

The servant finished reading it and asked someone to send the imperial decree to him.

The little servant yelled a few times, "The king of Xixia accepts the order!"

The king of Xixia knelt on the ground and didn't respond for a long time.

After he went back with the imperial decree, he went out of the palace and met Wang Fu, the left prime minister, and Li Bangyan, the right prime minister.

The two smiled cunningly and cupped their fists to congratulate, the corners of their eyes were full of complacency.

The King of Xixia felt depressed, grabbed Wang Fu's collar with one hand, and asked angrily, "Traitor, is this your idea?"

He was nearly two meters tall, burly and powerful, and lifted Wang Fu up.

Li Bangyan waved his hands in fright and shouted, "Come on, someone is going to rebel, come on!"

The imperial guards of Miyagi immediately surrounded them with guns. Lin Chong, the leader of the imperial guards who was patrolling outside the gate, rushed over and shouted at the king of Xixia with a sword in his hands, "Stop quickly, king of Xixia, don't make things difficult for me!"

The king of Xixia was full of murderous aura, his face was flushed red, and his fingers pinched Wang Fu's neck, making his bones crack.

He gritted his teeth in hatred, and let go of his hand, throwing Wang Fu to the ground.

Wang Fu tidied up his clothes, and shouted angrily, "Bold Li Yuanhao, you tampered with the court minister, do you think you want to rebel?"

"You two treacherous ministers are making troubles in the court, and you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Let's wait and see!"

Li Yuanhao pointed at him and Li Bangyan, and walked away angrily.

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan looked at each other with a sneer, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Barbarians from the Western Regions are shameless. It is the great honor of your Li family that the emperor married your daughter. You really think that you are of the blood of the Tang Dynasty and born with dragon blood." Can't you become a nobleman?"

Li Bangyan cupped his fists at Lin Chong and said, "Thank you, General Lin, for your help!"

Lin Chong clasped his fists and nodded, ignored the two of them, turned around to inspect other places and left.

The two of them were embarrassed, and they discussed for a while, "What's so amazing, didn't you rely on your sister to get this position?"

"Drink, drink, don't be as knowledgeable as these warriors!"

Wang Fu smiled darkly, put his arm on Li Bangyan's shoulder and left.

Inside the inn, Li Yuanhao tore the imperial decree to pieces, smashing the tables in the room into pieces with one palm.

The subordinates stood outside in shock, listening to the ping pong pong inside, wondering what the emperor had ordered to make the king of Xixia so angry.

Someone called Song Gongming, Duke of Qi, and asked outside the door, "Brother Li, can I go in?"

Li Yuanhao swallowed, opened the door, and beckoned Song Gongming to enter.

Song Gongming closed the door, looked at the situation in the room, and asked concerned, "Brother Li, what happened?"

Li Yuanhao sat on the chair, slapped the back of the chair fiercely, and said in his heart, "The treacherous officials are in power, causing chaos in the court, and let the emperor issue an edict to accept my daughter into the palace as a concubine."

"what?"

Song Gongming was surprised and didn't know what to say.

He also expected that Cai Jing and his party would make a move, but he didn't expect the attack to be so vicious that it directly hit King Xixia's three inches.

He all knew that the King of Xixia doted on this daughter very much, he regarded it as the jewel in his palm, and he was afraid of melting in his hands.

Now that he wanted to send his daughter into the palace, the King of Xixia would definitely refuse.

Li Yuanhao was silent for a while, stood up and clasped fists with Song Gongming, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Qi, for this trip to Beijing. We will remember this friendship. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you twice!"

Song Gongming clasped his fists and nodded, persuading him, "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. The Xixia king's loyalty and patriotism can be learned from the sun and the moon. Please think about things in the future. As for the matter, even if you send people to Qizhou to find brothers, brothers will definitely help you with all your strength."

"Thanks!"

The king of Xixia's face turned black, and he asked people to pack up his things, and immediately left the capital with his men.

Song Gongming shook his head and sighed. He took his two sons and didn't stay in the capital any longer, and soon went back to Qizhou.

At Cai Jing's mansion, Wang Fu and Li Bangyan explained the Xixia king's reaction with embellishment.

The old man drank his tea and smiled sullenly.

He told them, "Now is the first step. According to the Xixia king's temperament, he must be very unwilling. You need to add fire to make the officials who go to give gifts more lively. When you arrive in Xixia, even We must show the majesty of our Song Dynasty. When dealing with barbarians, we must treat them with the majesty of thunder."

"The grand master is brilliant!"

Both of them laughed wildly, after saying goodbye to Cai Jing, when they were going out, they happened to meet a handsome young man who came in.

This young man was dressed in an exquisite gold-embroidered gown and a golden flower on his head. He greeted the two of them politely.

The two nodded and went out, discussing with each other, "Who is this person?"

"It seems to be the adopted son of the Grand Master, what is his name, Ximen Qing!"

"The medicinal material merchant?"

"Yes, yes. The family is in the business of medicinal materials, and the shops are all over the state capitals of the Song Dynasty, and they are very powerful."

"Although the way of merchants is glamorous, it is full of the smell of copper after all, and it cannot be put on the table!"

Li Bangyan looked down on him all over his eyes. He was born as a Jinshi in the imperial examination, and he wrote good words.

When he was young, he was famous all over the capital, and was also known as a generation of romantic ministers.

Wang Fu laughed, but he didn't feel contemptuous in his heart, and he had a good impression of Ximen Qing.

In order to curry favor with Cai Jing, this kid took his way, but he was given a lot of money, and his family also had members in Ximen Qing's medicine shop.
