Qian Song

Chapter 354 Zhao Gou Was Castrated (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

"I beg your majesty to let the criminal woman go. The criminal woman already has her own heart. Even if your majesty wins the criminal woman's person, she will not be able to get the criminal woman's heart."

"What do I want your heart to do? In my harem, there are tens of thousands of beauties, and there are thousands of beauties before my departure. Do you really think that they all fall in love with me? How is this possible? You must know, among them, there are Many of them were snatched by me from others, and some of them even had vendettas against me for killing their father, husband, son, and brothers, it would be good if they didn’t hate me, but I dare not expect them all to love me.”

"Since your majesty knows this, why don't you raise your hand..."

"Hey, you don't understand. This twisted melon may not be sweet, but no matter whether it is sweet or not, I have to take a few bites, otherwise how can I prove that you are my spoils of war?"

"...Then please change your place, Your Majesty?"

"Are you afraid that Zhao Gou will hear?"

"...Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"No."

"..."

"..."

Zhao Gou's heart was far less calm than he showed, especially when he heard that Wu Shaofen was loyal to him and was unwilling to serve Li Cun.

Today, there are hundreds of people in Zhao Gou's harem, and there are more than a dozen official concubines.

Among these people, if Zhao Gou is asked to choose one he likes the most, then this person must be the one who accompanied Zhao Gou through difficulties before, shot and killed six rebels in a row to save Zhao Gou's life, and now has her guarding Zhao Gou Wu Shaofen who can feel at ease only when she is behind.

Although Zhao Gou didn't want to admit it, in fact, Zhao Gou really became more and more dependent on Wu Shaofen.

Moreover, Zhao Gou felt more and more that Wu Shaofen resembled her mother Webster.

——What others don’t know is that the reason why Wu Shaofen is guarding Zhao Gou in military uniform makes Zhao Gou feel at ease and can sleep well. In addition to protecting him, when Wu Shaofen was by his side, it reminded him of the scene when Webster protected him meticulously when he was a child.

In short, Wu Shaofen became more and more important to Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou also liked Wu Shaofen more and more, and Zhao Gou even had the idea of ​​making Wu Shaofen the queen.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Gou has been thinking that when he cures his hidden disease, the first person who will leave is Wu Shaofen, so that Wu Shaofen will really become his woman.

Who would have thought that before that day came, Wu Shaofen would be harmed by Li Cun, and in front of Zhao Gou.

At this moment, Zhao Gou's heart seemed to be dripping with blood.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Gou really had the idea of ​​rescuing Wu Shaofen from Li Cun.

But Zhao Gou said to himself rationally: "As long as I dare to act recklessly, the only thing waiting for me is death, and it will not be a good death!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Gou's cowardice and cowardice, which had been engraved in his bones, easily defeated Zhao Gou's impulse.

In the end, Zhao Gou chose to watch Li Cun resist Wu Shaofen into a bedroom not far from him, and could only be forced to listen to Wu Shaofen begging Li Cun for mercy, and then Wu Shaofen failed to beg for mercy, so he could only retreat and beg Li Cun for another one. Don't hurt Zhao Gou, but failed again, and the next period is the most painful period for Zhao Gou...

But Zhang Shunyi seemed to think that Zhao Gou was not suffering enough, she actually found Concubine Pan Xianfei, Han Cairen, Feng Meiren and other concubines of Zhao Gou who were willing to be left by Li Cun, whispered to them for a while, and then led them to the bedroom in front of the door.

Then, Zhang Shunyi asked softly: "Officials, can I bring some concubines of Zhao Gou to serve?"

Soon, Li Cun's voice came from the room: "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shunyi immediately pushed open the door, and then brought Pan Xianfei, Han Cairen, Feng Meiren and other concubines of Zhao Gou who were willing to be left by Li Cun into the bedroom.

Concubine Pan Xian, who was the last to enter Li Cun's room, turned her head and took a deep look at Zhao Gou, and the door was closed from the inside.

What followed was Zhao Gou's most painful and tough period of time.

To Zhao Gou, the short two hours seemed as long as a century had passed.

To Zhao Gou's surprise or sadness, there was a slight reaction in a place that he hadn't felt for several years.

"My illness is cured?!"

Zhao Gou suddenly had a kind of anticipation that it would be a blessing in disguise.

Because of the anticipation, Zhao Gou became less painful. Zhao Gou even hoped that Li Cun could stay there for a longer time, so that maybe a miracle could be created.

Just as Zhao Gou was listening attentively to whose turn it was in the room, an old eunuch found Zhao Gou.

The old eunuch came to Zhao Gou and asked bluntly, "Are you Zhao Gou?"

Zhao Gou, who is not what he used to be, didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "Exactly, my husband looks familiar, I wonder if the two of us have met before?"

The old eunuch said lightly: "You don't have to get close to the miscellaneous family, and it's useless."

Zhao Gou hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my husband taught me a lesson."

Next, Zhao Gou took the initiative to ask: "Why is my husband looking for a villain?"

The old eunuch said with a fake smile: "The officials intend to praise you, so you can go with the miscellaneous family."

Although Zhao Gou felt that the old eunuch's smile was malicious, but Zhao Gou, who has become a prisoner for the sword and I for the fish, has no other choice but to obey orders?

Therefore, even though he was worried, Zhao Gou obediently followed the old eunuch.

Arriving at the destination of the old eunuch, Zhao Gou's face turned pale all of a sudden!
Clean room! ! !

Zhao Gou immediately guessed what Li Cun was going to do with him!
"It turns out that Thief Li is planning to castration on me!"

Although Zhao Gou guessed everything, he still had the last chance to ask the old eunuch, "Husband, why did you bring the villain here?"

The old eunuch smiled sinisterly, and then said: "You are so smart, you have even been the emperor, how can you not guess?"

Zhao Gou's eyes moved slightly, and then he changed his previous obedience, but said with a straight face: "After all, I was the emperor of Song Dynasty, how can I be insulted like this, I want to see Your Majesty, and argue face to face!"

The old eunuch put away his smile, shook his head, and said, "Don't you see the steward's attitude? If the official didn't have this intention, why would they ask you to enter this forbidden area of ​​the harem?"

The old eunuch broke the secret with one word.

Not to mention that Zhao Gou is a eunuch, and without special circumstances, it is impossible for him to enter Li Cun's harem.

Therefore, from the moment Li Cun asked Zhao Gou to enter his harem, Zhao Gou had already embarked on the road of being castrated.

At this moment, after the old eunuch woke up so suddenly, Zhao Gou was stunned!
How can Zhao Gou not be clear about the matter now, even if he sees Li Cun, it can't change the result of his being castrated?
In other words, from the beginning to the end, Li Cun never thought of letting go of Zhao Gou, the guy who not only prevented him from completing the unification, but also dug the Yellow River and caused him huge troubles. It was just because Webster pleaded for Zhao Gou However, Li Cun didn't want Zhao Gou to die quickly, so Li Cun didn't kill Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou thought about it further, and immediately guessed that Li Cun, who has no tolerance for sand in his eyes, has long been guarding against him from imitating Goujian, the king of Yue, and would never give him a chance to become Goujian.

And as long as Zhao Gou is castrated, even if the Zhao family can be restored one day, it is impossible for Zhao Gou to be emperor again.

Just ask, who would support a castrated person as emperor.

If you don’t believe me, just go and see, in the thousands of years of ancient Chinese history, has there ever been a eunuch who became an emperor?
Thinking about this, Zhao Gou knew that he would definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe.

At this time, the old eunuch rarely persuaded Zhao Gou: "The thing about you is useless, so let's just get rid of it once and for all, and completely cut off this thought."

If there is really no hope at all, Zhao Gou may also be appointed.

But Zhao Gou obviously found a little hope, and even guessed the way to make him recover.

However, Zhao Gou found this little hope, and Li Cun was about to completely cut off Zhao Gou's hope.

"Li thief is too cruel!"

At this moment, Zhao Gou hated Li Cun like never before.

Moreover, at this moment, Zhao Gou wanted to escape from here desperately like never before.

But at this moment, more than a dozen eunuchs suddenly came out of the clean room and slowly surrounded Zhao Gou.

More importantly, there are nearly a hundred palace guards not far away.

Zhao Gou has practiced martial arts.

But these years, as Zhao Gou got along more and more, his martial arts had already been abandoned.

Taking a step back, even if Zhao Gou is at his peak now, he can only beat these dozen or so eunuchs at most, and it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of nearly a hundred masters, and even two or three of them are enough to easily win. Zhao Gou at his peak.

Facing the seriously unequal strength of the two sides, Zhao Gou could only force himself to calm down.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Gou, who had already made up his mind, suddenly asked the old eunuch, "Husband, you just said that your majesty wants to promote a villain. I don't know why?"

The old eunuch didn't want to use force to complete this matter. After all, if Zhao Gou really didn't cooperate, it would be more troublesome, so he tried his best to be patient and said to Zhao Gou: "The official rewards you to cleanse yourself. Team up with me and listen to the advice of the miscellaneous family. It is better than being imprisoned in the city of the Five Kingdoms, and you must not forget that Tong Guan is also an eunuch, but he can be crowned king and command an army of millions. If you obey the emperor's order, There may not be a day when you will regain power."

in fact--

The old eunuch was simply deceiving Zhao Gou.

Just ask, how stupid is Li Cunde to let Zhao Gou, an enemy whose father, mother and all concubines were captured, and all relatives captured by him, to encounter military power?
If Li Cun is really so stupid, how could Li Cun be where he is today?
But although what the old eunuch said was outrageous, it was still an excuse for Zhao Gou, who had no other choice, to persuade him to accept cleansing.

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Old thief, if I have a chance in the future, I will make you repay me a hundred times for the pain I have suffered today!"

With such conviction, Zhao Gou gritted his teeth and followed the old eunuch into the cleansing room.

Not long after, Zhao Gou's heart-piercing screams came from the cleansing room...

……

After Li Renli returned to Xixia, he told Li Qianshun and his ministers what he had seen and heard in the Dagan Dynasty in detail, and then he said his judgment on the Dagan Dynasty and its Li Cun.

In Li Renli's view, the unprecedented strength of the Dagan Dynasty is far from comparable to that of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Moreover, the Dagan Dynasty has developed extremely well and will only become stronger in the future. In addition, Li Cun is ambitious and will definitely become stronger in the future. Following the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, sent troops to Xixia and grasslands to restore the old frontiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Li Renli said to Li Qianshun that even if Jin and Xia joined hands, they would never be the opponents of the Dagan Dynasty. As for the Western Song Dynasty, it must have become history.

Li Renli's judgment on the Dagan Dynasty and Li Cun was exactly the same as Li Qianshun's guess.

That being the case, should Xixia still seek peace with the Daqian Dynasty?

The answer is yes.

The history of Xixia is not long, only a mere 100 years.

In just over 100 years, Xixia gave birth to two famous women, who are the well-known Empress Dowager Xiaoliang.

Xixia and the Zhao Song Dynasty fought for many years, but overall, almost half of the wars were fought by the two women, the Empress Dowager and the Zhao Song Dynasty.

During the reign of the Empress Dowager Daliang.

The Empress Dowager Liang and her older brother Liang Yibu worked together.

The Empress Dowager Liang entrusted all the political power of Xixia to Liang Yibu, and Liang Yibu arranged for the children and cronies of the Liang family to hold important positions.

Liang Yibu, Du Luowei, who controls the military power, and Wang Mengye, the bodyguard of the Queen Mother of Liang, formed the mother party group, firmly controlling the supreme ruling power of Xixia. Suppress Xixia's imperial power.

In order to stabilize their rule, the Empress Dowager Daliang, Liang Yibu and others continuously launched wars against the Zhao Song Dynasty, and fought against the Zhao Song Dynasty for more than ten years.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Liang, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang came to power.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang appointed Liang Yibu, the son of Liang Yibu, as the prime minister.

Xiaoliang Empress Dowager and Liang Yibu relied on the power of the "one family and two queens" of the Liang family to expand the influence of the mother party internally and firmly control the power of the government;

In order to ease the contradictions, following the example of the Empress Dowager Dayang and Liang Yibu, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and Liang Yibu still pursued a militaristic war policy, constantly using troops against the Zhao and Song dynasties to divert domestic crises.

As a result, in just 13 years, Xixia launched more than [-] large and small wars against the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and some launched more than six or seven times within a year.

But Liang Yibu didn't have the foresight and ability of his father Liang Yibu at all, and he and the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang couldn't cooperate as well as the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yibu.

Not only that, but later it gradually developed that Liang Yibu attempted to control the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and even attempted to usurp the power of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and a struggle for power began between the brothers and sisters.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was also a ruthless person. In order to preserve her power, she even cooperated with the Xixia dignitaries, not only killing Liang Yibu, but also exterminating the entire Liang family.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, Xixia was politically corrupt and the army was weak. The Zhao Song Dynasty took the opportunity to attack, and the Xixia army suffered repeated defeats.

In the end, if the Liao Kingdom hadn't threatened the Zhao Song Dynasty, the Zhao Song Dynasty might have wiped out Xixia and regained the lost land.

Later, Daozong of the Liao Dynasty saw that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was arbitrarily powerful and unpopular, and could not give support, so he sent people to Xixia, killed the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang by poison, and ordered Li Qianshun to rule in person.

After more than [-] years of monopolizing power in Xixia, two relatives of the Liang family who were in charge of the mother-in-law came out, and this was the complete end.

After Li Qianshun killed his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and became pro-government, he rectified the administration of officials, established a system of centralized monarchy, and ended the dictatorship of foreign relatives and aristocrats that appeared in the tired dynasty.The official titles of the hierarchical system were promulgated. Except for the emperor and the heir to the throne, they were divided into seven ranks, and the political system of Xixia was becoming more and more complete.

Moreover, Li Ganshun reduced taxes, paid attention to farming and mulberry, and built water conservancy.

Under Li Qianshun's diligent rule, Xixia's national power has gradually recovered, politics can be regarded as clear, and social economy has also developed to a certain extent.

But even so, because the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang has overdrawn too much potential of Xixia, and because Xixia only has a small area of ​​Ningxia, Gansu, northeastern Qinghai, western Inner Mongolia, and northern Shaanxi, it is too much. If he is too young, he will never be the opponent of the Dagan Dynasty that destroyed the Zhao Song Dynasty.

You know, Xixia can't even defeat the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Qianshun can only stabilize Li Cun by means of a kinship, and buy some time for development.

but--

The problem now is that Li Cun refused to marry his daughter to their Xixia to be their queen, and insisted that they marry a princess in Xixia, and they had to be Li Qianshun's elders to go to the Daqian Dynasty to get married.

This is more difficult to do...
