In the month, Tong Guan arrived in Taiyuan.

Wang, Zhe Yanzhi, Zhang Xiaochun and others were very afraid of him and did not know what his purpose was to go to the northwest. At this moment, the plan of the Northwest people was implemented smoothly, and Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang were in Bianjing. As long as the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong was more fierce, as long as Li Hu gave up the strategy of attacking the west, Prince Yun could convince the emperor and lead the Northwest army to advance eastward to suppress the rebellion. However, Tong Guan's sudden arrival gave the Northwest people an ominous premonition.

When Tong Guan met Prince Yun, he briefly explained the situation in Hebei, Shandong, and Yanshan Prefecture. "The longer the rebellion lasts, the greater the harm to the country, so I plan to ask Bianjing to dispatch the Northwest Army to quickly quell the rebellion. I was ordered to go to Taiyuan this time to understand the situation in the northwest and the situation of the Northwest Army, and see if the Northwest Army can be recruited within the year."

When Wang heard this, he was secretly happy that the opportunity finally came. Zhe Yanzhi and Zhang Xiaochun thought that Tong Guan had ulterior motives, but now he had no idea what his purpose was, so he could only take one step at a time.

"The situation in the northwest is very bad." Zhe Yanzhi smiled bitterly, "The main force of the Han King and the Hulie Army have entered the front trap, and he will attack Helan Mountain next. In order to ensure the safety of the northwest, the Northwest Army should not go to Hebei and Shandong to suppress the rebellion in the short term."

"What? Do you all think that the King of Han will continue to attack and continue to attack Helan Mountain?" Tong Guan laughed, "You have determined the ultimate goal of the King of Han's attack on Xixia?"

Li Hu's purpose of attacking Xixia, in fact, you can know just by looking at Bian Jing's strategy against Daibei. Bian Jing wants to eliminate Li Hu, and Li Hu of course has to fight back. His move can cause a series of chain reactions. The Jin army may go south, and the Tiger and Martyrs may also take advantage of the situation to go south. The situation in the northwest is tense, and the situation on Hebei and Yanshan Road is even more tense, but Bian Jing is arrogant and arrogant, and he ignores the bad situation in front of him and insists on his own. The consequences of this continue are unimaginable.

"We talked with Li Hu, but Li Hu ignored it." Prince Yun sighed helplessly, "If Bian Jing changed his strategy to Daibei, there might be a chance to save it."

Bianjing did not know the tense situation in northwest Hebei. To be more precise, the central officials of Bianjing were under the ban and did not understand the actual situation. Their understanding of the situation was completely different. The emperor's understanding of the situation came from the central officials, so of course he would not change his idea of ​​killing Li Hu. Although Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang were both in Bianjing and had the opportunity to advise the emperor, they were weak and humble, and had too much effect on the decision-making of Bianjing.

Tong Guan pretended to be pondering, and his eyes turned from Prince Yun's face to Zhe Yanzhi and Zhang Xiaochun, "Am I going to Datong in person?"

Tong Guandi's status is too prominent. If he rushed to Datong in person, it might make things turn around. Wang immediately agreed.

In the emperor's mind, Wang Shao was not interested, but Tong Guan was different. He suggested that he directly influence the emperor's decision-making.

Zhe Yanzhi and Zhang Xiaochun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They probably guessed Tong Guan's purpose. This eunuch had a premonition that Prince Yun would become the master of the Song Dynasty and would change his party. But now the people in the northwest were unable to stop it. They could only use tricks and use Tong Guan to promote the development of the situation.

The envoy of Bianjing Wang Anzhong also arrived in Taiyuan.

Wang Anzhong's destination is the same as Tong Guan. Both are in Datong. The relationship between Bianjing and Huanglongfu is getting closer and closer. The two cooperated tacitly to attack and kill Li Hu. In order to stabilize Li Hu and prevent Li Hu from surrendering to the Jin Kingdom as much as possible, Bianjing specially sent an envoy to compromise with Hulie's Mansion. This was the result of Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang's strong persuasion. With the emperor and prime minister, the prime ministers are arrogant and dignified. They will never compromise with a Han captain.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang knew Li Hu and knew that Li Hu had started a counterattack. This counterattack was very unfavorable to the Song Dynasty, but the two were very isolated in the court and had no strength to affect decision-making. They could only watch the situation deteriorate step by step.

In the late May, Tong Guan, Wang Anzhong, Zhe Yanzhi and Li Zongzhen formed a prominent mission and went north to Datong to try to save the crisis.

Under May, Xixia, Xingqing Prefecture.

Fan Zhichang returned to Kyoto, met Prime Minister Xue Yuanli, and told the emperor in detail about his mission. Both the prime minister and the emperor acted silently and unusually, which made Fan Zhichang very uneasy and realized that the capital was about to storm, and a storm was coming.

When she returned to the mansion, Fan Zhichang asked his wife to find an opportunity to go to the palace and send Princess Changle's letter to the queen. He repeatedly warned her wife not to let the third person know, otherwise there would be a disaster. For several days, Mrs. Fan did not find the opportunity and immediately returned to her parents' home to seek help from her mother. Her father was the royal family, her mother was the princess, and her brother was in the army without the court, and her status was very prominent. She thought this was very simple, so she stayed for one night after returning to her parents' home, preparing to talk to her mother the next day, but on that night, she was awakened by her mother's hurried steps.

"Go away, hurry back, something happened." The princess panicked and was very scared. "I overheard your father talking to your elder brother, the queen hanged herself, and involved your husband. The King of Jin is mobilizing the army to kill a group of Han people, and he must be among them. You tell him to escape quickly, hurry up."

Mrs. Fan's soul flew out of the sky and went home overnight, waking Fan Zhichang who was sleeping.

"What did you say?" Fan Zhichang immediately lost his sleep after hearing the messy words of his wife, "The queen is sober?"

"Yes, it's tonight." Mrs. Fan cried, "After so many years, the emperor has not even allowed you to go out of the capital, but this time he has asked you to go on a mission. I have always felt that it is not

I thought it really came true. Someone in the court wanted to frame you and then take this opportunity to kill Han officials."

"Your mother was not listening to it wrong?" Fan Zhichang was extremely shocked. He never dreamed that Brother Richard had planned everything long ago, and his mission was just part of Brother Richard's plan.

"Escape quickly, you run quickly, otherwise you will die." Mrs. Fan urged repeatedly.

Fan Zhichang forced himself to calm down. At this time, you must not be confused, as if you are in chaos, you will die.

"Where is that letter? Where is that letter?"

Mrs. Fan took out the letter. Fan Zhichang immediately burned it, then packed up some things, and left with her wife in tears.

Fan Zhichang escaped into Dabei Temple. The host of Dabei Temple had a good personal relationship with Fan Zhichang. He heard that Fan Zhichang was in trouble, so he hid him immediately.

Princess Cheng'an hanged herself and wrote a suicide note, cursing Li Qianshun and the Western Xia Kingdom. Li Qianshun felt guilty and angry, and ordered the arrest of Fan Zhichang.

When the Khitans attacked the previous trap, Richard reported to the emperor, believing that the leak must be Fan Zhichang.

Fan Zhichang knew about this and before he was on the mission, Richard told him in person. Shortly after Fan Zhichang arrived in Datong, the Khitan army took the lead in attacking, and then the Tiger and Lieutenant Army also broke into the front trap. The reason for the attack was that the Xixia people betrayed Yelu Yanxi, so Fan Zhichang must be the biggest suspect in the leaked secret place.

Fan Zhichang was a native of the Song Dynasty and a descendant of Fan Zhongyan. He had reasons to betray Xixia, so he would not come back. Brother Richard begged the emperor to thoroughly investigate Fan Zhichang to investigate those Han officials who had recommended Fan Zhichang to enter the court. As the minister of Xixia, Fan Zhichang knew many secrets in Xixia. This time he escaped would bring immeasurable losses to Xixia.

Prime Minister Xue Yuanli tried his best to persuade him. Brother Richard did not have enough evidence. Who has any evidence to prove that Fan Zhichang betrayed Xixia?

Of course, Li Ganshun would not believe Brother Richard's one-sided remarks, so he rejected Brother Richard and patiently waited for Fan Zhichang's return. If Fan Zhichang came back, Brother Richard's retribution would be purely a blow to his opponent and his intentions were sinister.

Fan Zhichang really came back, but then Princess Cheng'an died. When the emperor was in sorrow, the personal eunuch quietly told him that when he was sorting out the queen's relics, a letter from Fan Zhichang to the queen was revealed. The letter made the queen know that Xixia betrayed Yelu Yanxi, which led to the queen's suicide.

Fan Zhichang's handwriting is well written and has its own characteristics. The emperor knew it was Fan Zhichang's handwriting at a glance. Long Yan was immediately furious and ordered the arrest.

Fan Zhichang ran away, but found a large number of correspondence letters from his study, including secret letters from an affair with the Song Dynasty, and several letters conspiring to kill Richard with Prime Minister Xue Yuanli.

When the matter came to this point, the emperor had to send a royal prince to investigate the matter. Prime Minister Xue Yuanli temporarily avoided it, and his subordinates were investigated, but they were out of control. A shocking conspiracy was found. He not only wanted to kill Richard Brother, but also had an affair with the Song Dynasty and planned to betray the Western Xia Kingdom.

Xingqing Prefecture immediately fell into a bloody storm.

Fan Zhichang did not dare to stay in Xingqing Prefecture. In June, in order to save him, the host of Dabei Temple decided to give a lecture in Xiazhou, dressed up Fan Zhichang as a monk and took him out of the capital.

After arriving in Xiazhou, the host found a businessman who was smuggling on the border of Song and Xia through his own relationship. Fan Zhichang followed the horse team through mountains and rivers and finally entered the territory of the Song Dynasty. Then he went straight to the prefectures without stopping.

When Zhe Keqiu saw Fan Zhichang with a disheveled face, he could hardly believe his eyes, "Can you escape from Xixia?"

"It's not that I have the ability to escape back, but that Brother Richard didn't want to arrest me at all." Fan Zhichang said with a wry smile, "If I had known that there would be today's disaster, I should have listened to you and stayed in the Tiger Army."

"Why don't Brother Richard want to catch you?"

"What am I?" Fan Zhichang said, "Brother Richard had already planned everything. Even if I did not tell Li Hu about the Xixia people betrayed Yelu Yanxi, the Khitans would learn the secret from other channels, and then the Khitans would attack Xixia. As long as the Khitans dragged the Tiger Lieutenant Army into the battlefield, my charge of betraying Xixia will be confirmed. Of course, Li Ganshun would not easily believe that I betrayed Xixia, so Brother Richard also had to design and kill Princess Cheng'an. Princess Cheng'an died, Li Ganshun would investigate the leaks, and the next thing would be done."

"So, no matter whether you return to Xingqing Mansion or not, Princess Cheng'an will die, and Brother Richard took the opportunity to frame Xue Yuanli and Hanchen, kill them all, and take over the power." Zhe Keqiu sighed, "In other words, Brother Richard has the final say in Xixia now."

"Yes, I underestimated Brother Richard." Fan Zhichang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This person is so terrible."

"What will Brother Richard do after he monopolizes the power?" Zhe Ke asked.

"He has always insisted on active defense. If nothing unexpected happens, he will attack Shaanxi." Fan Zhichang said, "The Xia army attacked Shaanxi, and the war in Shaanxi has started again, and Bianjing had to force Li Hu to give up the attack."

"If you are rushing to Datong day and night to tell Li Hu about this news, Li Hu will definitely give up the attack." Zhe Keqiu heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Tong Guan, Wang Anzhong and Zhe Yanzhi have arrived in Datong, and they are forcing Li Hu to withdraw their troops."
