Chapter 484: Death of Liang Zuo

Zeng Gongliang said: "Su You! But now there are many discussions in the court, and they think that it is an unjust act to lure Weiming Mountain in Suizhou!"

Su You laughed: "The Song Dynasty inherited the lineage of the Han and Tang Dynasties and conquered the homeland. Is it an injustice? Then Taizu built the sealing pile storehouse and Taizong conquered the Liao Kingdom. Are they both wrong?"

"The significance of reviving Suizhou is that this is the first time in the Song Dynasty's century-old history that it has turned from passive contraction to active expansion! Therefore, since we have taken it, we should hold on to it and don't win first and lose later as in the past.

The boost it brings to people's hearts and national power is far more significant than the Battle of Weizhou!"

"So the imperial court should support the restoration of Suizhou! The problem is that our financial situation last year and this year was so difficult that it was a half-cooked meal without enough heat."

"But any enemy will not allow them to display their strategies comfortably. Therefore, eating raw food may become our norm in the future, and we must learn to adapt!"

"If Suizhou can be retained, it can be said that this will be a major turning point in the Song Dynasty's confrontation with Xixia from strategic defense to strategic stalemate."

"The remaining question is, can Suizhou hold on if it persists alone?"

"Actually, the fact that Xixia's 40,000-strong army pursued them in vain shows the problem. Its military strength in the Hengshan area has been seriously weakened and is not as good as before."

"Without the Hengshan Bubazi, the Xixia army lost the right time, place, and people when fighting the native Tibetan people in the Hengshan area. This is essentially different from the Xixia army that drove the Hengshan Tibetans to fight against us in the past."

"After planting the Five Classics, what kind of reputation will he have in Hengshan Fanzhong? He can win in a hurry. After resurrecting, he has gained control of the hearts of Hengshan Fans and has the support of the imperial court. Will he still be defeated?"

Zeng Gongliang said: "Weimingshan is a traitor to Xixia after all. If Xixia sends envoys to ask for his return, how should we respond?"

Su You smiled: "That's right. Jialiang is also a traitor to the Song Dynasty. If you want to send him back, you can send him back. If it's the same, please ask the Xia Kingdom to send Jialiang back to the Song Dynasty."

"Jia Liang has just recruited Mu Zheng for the Xia Kingdom, consolidating the Qingtang front line. The Xia Kingdom will not let him go for the sake of the safety of the western front. This is the best excuse."

"Or, we can conduct a small exercise with Dong Xiang to coordinate with the diplomatic situation?"

Zeng Gongliang was very satisfied with Su You's memorial, and now he knew exactly what he was saying: "Your Majesty, Mr. Han?"

Zhao Xu looked at Han Qi longingly.

Han Qi finally smiled: "It seems that my trip to Shaanxi is not going to be a battle of swords and fire! But Mingrun, if I find that the situation in Shaanxi is different from what you said, impeachment is inevitable."

This is agreement! Zhao Xu was overjoyed: "That is, when Mr. Han is here, if he finds that Su You has said something inappropriate, even if he participates in the performance, the court will definitely deal with him severely!"

Hey! I, I didn’t do anything...

…

Xixia, Xingqing Prefecture.

Liang Zuo suddenly woke up from the bed: "Don't kill me... don't kill me..."

Empress Liang was waiting beside her, and quickly comforted her: "Wuzi dreamed of a bitch again? Do you want me, Master Xuanjiduo, to come and read the scriptures to Wuzu again?"

The great monk Ji Duo Gyaltsen in red is now preaching in the Xia Kingdom and has a high reputation.

After Liang Zuo returned from the Southern Expedition, he began to feel unwell, first dizziness and insomnia, then muscle weakness and paralysis, then nausea, high fever, irritability, convulsions like epilepsy, and now he often suffers from mental attacks or falls into coma.

All treatments are ineffective. Only after Jiduo Gyaltsen goes inside and chants sutras, his condition will get better for a while and then become serious again.

Therefore, reviewing memorials and handling state affairs fell on the shoulders of Empress Liang and her brother Liang Yimi.

Liang Zuo smiled miserably, revealing the blue-black lead line between his gums: "Queen, I'm afraid..."

Empress Liang interrupted him and shouted to the chamberlain: "Water! Go and ask Master Guido to come into the palace and cast a spell to suppress the nightmare for the Wu soldiers!"

A maid came forward and poured water from a lead-tin alloy Nine Dragons vase decorated with exquisite coral, turquoise, beeswax, plated with gold and silver, and exquisitely carved.

Liang Zuo was served by the queen and drank water. He stared blankly at the exquisite dragon cup in her hand: "The things from the Song Dynasty are really exquisite..."

Empress Liang smiled softly: "It was also a humble man who brought great blessings to the sky. Yiduo buried a lot of effort and robbed an imperial tribute from the Song Dynasty. The best thing in it is this set of Kowloon gold cups."

"However, a tool is used for its purpose. One day, the soldiers will declare a hundred thousand troops and reach Bianjing. Isn't this kind of thing all available?"

Liang Zuo took Empress Liang's hand: "Thank you for your hard work these days. The Dangxiang people's conversion to the Han system must be completed as soon as possible... Where is Jing Xun? Why haven't you seen him visiting recently?"

Empress Liang said: "Doctor Jing went to inspect winter wheat and won't be back until March next year. My brother has already informed Wu Zu, why did he forget it again?"

Liang Zuo's eyes were a little dazed: "Really? There is something wrong with my memory..."

Empress Liang said: "Then rest more and don't worry about state affairs all the time..."

At this time Jiduo Gyaltsen came to the imperial couch and saluted the two of them.

Liang Zuo murmured: "Master Jiduo, please praise my ancestors for me. I haven't finished listening to the epic of the Dangxiang people yet..."

Jiduo Gyaltsen bowed to accept the order, sat down cross-legged, took out the conch and the copper bell, and prepared to recite.

Liang Zuo raised his hand again: "Queen, that cup just now..."

Queen Liang asked: "What's wrong?"

Liang Zuo paused for a moment: "...it's a little dim, let the servants wipe it."

Queen Liang whispered: "Yes."

In the ethereal sound of Ji Duo Gyaltsen's poetry recitation, Lang Zuo finally fell asleep again.

Empress Liang slowed down and came out. A middle-aged man came up and asked, "Sister, how is Wuzu doing?"

Empress Liang gritted her teeth: "I'm still thinking about that bitch before I die! I lost my soul when I came back from Weizhou, how can I still look like a man?!"

The middle-aged man is now the Prime Minister of the country, Empress Liang's brother Liang Yimi. Hearing this, he was shocked: "On the verge of death? Is it too late to survive?"

Empress Liang said: "He has started to urinate blood. The medical officer said that he probably won't survive this month. Brother, it's time to make arrangements."

Liang Yimi said: "There is a lot of dissatisfaction among the clan with what Wuzu did after he ascended the throne. You and I, my brothers and sisters, are all Han people. If we want to protect ourselves now, there is only one way to do it."

Empress Liang nodded: "Stop the chaos, shave your hair and make it easier, restore the old system of Emperor Wu Lie, and restore party customs!"

Liang Yimi said: "Exactly! Then we have to deal with one person."

Empress Liang said leisurely: "Doctor Jing...the six squads in the imperial siege are all Tibetan people. If we send them to arrest him, will it cause panic among the Han people in the territory?"

Liang Yimi thought for a while and said, "It's not like there is no one available. Liang's family is both civil and military, and his scenery is a hundred times more beautiful. Now that the western front of the Xia Kingdom has been stabilized, it's time to call him to the capital to resign and order him to take charge of the squad and capture Jing Xun!"

Empress Liang smiled slightly: "Yes, our general is also a Han. If we use Han people to deal with Han people, there will be no controversy."

Liang Yimi nodded: "There are still a few old ministers who have always been at odds with my brothers and sisters, so I recalled Yi Duobi together and took care of them!"

Empress Liang asked: "Yong Neng is in control of the affairs of the capital, why can't he be used?"

Liang Yimi sighed: "Although Yongneng is loyal and courageous, his temperament is too strong and straightforward. He is afraid that he will not be able to attack his old ministers, and he will in turn advise him; Yiduomi has trade relations with the Song Dynasty and is flexible and wise.

I understand that letting them change positions is just a matter of teaching them according to their aptitude."

Empress Liang nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense, so let's act like this."

In the winter of December of the fourth year of Zhiping, Liang Zuo was seriously ill for two years and died without recovery. He was only twenty-two years old.

After his death, he was buried in Anling, with his posthumous title of Emperor Zhaoying and his temple name of Yizong.

After Liang Zuo died, his eldest son Li Bingchang succeeded him as Huizong.

That night, Li Chongguang, an old minister of Yizong, took advantage of Liang Yongneng to leave the capital and attempted to cause chaos, and once killed him at the palace gate.

Strange troops appeared outside the city. Liang Yiduobian led Tiandu's elite troops to arrive, beheaded Li Chongguang, and searched for fifteen families who had rebelled against the party.
