The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 458: The little demon in the temple is strong, and there are many monsters in the shallow pool
Zhao Tong walked down the city wall and walked to the Zhizhou Yamen lobby, which had been transformed into a meeting place.

More than 3 Xihe soldiers could not pose any threat to the city, and they could not even besieged the city.

To besiege Xining City, at least 5 people are needed. As for a strong attack, it is impossible without [-] to [-] people.

Xining City is the most majestic city on the plateau. It was once the capital of the Jisiluo Kingdom. It has survived through hardships and wars. It has all kinds of defensive facilities. If the soldiers have enough food and grass, it can be called a stone fortress.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall, all of them heroes from Suiyulou. As for the army, Lu Junyi, Du Bo, Zhang Xian, etc. were all supervising the battle with Liu Suiyun at the top of the city.

Zhao Tong's eyes fell on Jian Suyi and said: "Come up with a plan to rebuild Broken Jade Tower. Once the Xihe situation is decided, we will start implementing it."

Jian Suyi heard this and said yes. Zhao Yu looked at everyone and said, "Is there anyone who is familiar with Xixia and knows the Xixia language?"

Everyone shook their heads, Jian Suyi said: "Your Majesty, only the He family brothers understand Xia language, but they were sent to Xingqing Mansion by the prince two years ago."

Zhao Tong said: "Not enough, far from enough."

Ding Erxie said: "My subordinates and others came early. I have had many contacts with the Tibetan people in the city before. I see that many Tibetans who are doing business understand the Xia language."

Jian Suyi added: "There should be many people who speak the Xia language in the army."

Zhao Tong thought for a moment: "Xixia is not as good as Liao. In Liao, Song Mandarin is spoken more often, even in Beijing, but in Xixia it is rare. Except for the royal family and government aristocratic families, almost no other ordinary people know Song dialect."

Jian Suyi said: "Your Majesty, this is easy. You can just find a few reliable teachers and let the people in the building learn."

Zhao Tong nodded: "This is a good idea. There is another thing. The rivers and lakes in Xixia are not as weak as the Liao Kingdom. It is now a three-legged situation, and each family is stronger than the other."

Bai Ba said from below: "My lord, can you still be stronger than Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Tong looked at him and shook his head and said: "Da Lang, don't imitate your second brother's temperament of seven dissatisfaction and eight dissatisfaction. The rivers and lakes in Xixia are very deep."

Bai Ba immediately became ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, I know my mistake. I thought that a small place like Xixia, which only has less than [-]% of the territory of the Song Dynasty, and is no better than Northern Liao, can produce any masters..."

Next to him, Shi Qian chuckled and said: "Boss of the Bai family, you don't understand. You have never been in the world in Tokyo. You don't know the truth about the small demons in the temple and the big bastards in Chi Qian."

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall laughed, and Zhao Tong also laughed.

Ding Erxie said: "What a small temple, a big demon, and a lot of bastards in the lake. It is a perfect way to describe a country like Xixia, which is capricious and has no commitment."

Zhao Tong looked at everyone with a smile, pressed his hands, and the hall immediately became silent. He said: "The Liao Kingdom is in its doomsday, and the world of Liao is also depleted of people, but Xixia is different. There are three major forces in Xixia that control the trends of the world. These three forces are Beifengtang, Yuan Family and Zizai Sect. All three families are very powerful and have inextricable connections with the Xixia royal court. If you want to change the name of Roulang Mountain and conquer Helanque, you must be on guard against these three families. Secretly sabotage assassinations, pass on information, and assist the Xixia army in doing dark and dirty things."

Lu Da Dao: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have only heard of Beifeng Hall, which is a place where the Hidden Spies Department of the Xixia Army specializes in training elite spies. I didn't expect it to get involved in the Jianghu."

Zhao Tong said: "There are two types of people in Beifeng Hall. One is sent outside to lurk around as spies, and the other lies inside and controls the wind direction of the rivers and lakes and the movement of the green forest!"

Xu Sandao: "Your Majesty, what are the origins of the other two families?"

Zhao Tong picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "The Yuan family... The Yuan family is the largest martial arts family in Xixia. The main line of the Tuoba family in the Northern Wei Dynasty changed their surnames. They are the same clan as the Li family of the Xixia royal family. The Li family of Xixia is also passed down from the Tuoba family."

"Is this Yuan family's martial arts very powerful?" Jiang Si asked curiously.

"Is it awesome?" Zhao Tong laughed: "Do you all still remember that I was assassinated when the Liao people were competing in Tokyo?"

"Remember, remember!" Everyone nodded.

Zhao Tong said: "The hidden weapon used in the assassination that day was a small golden arrow, about one-fifth of the length of a normal arrow. I once asked you if you had seen it before, but no one recognized it. Later, after many inquiries, I found out the origin of this object. It is a unique skill of a descendant of the Yuan family."

"That little arrow...is it the martial arts of the Xixia Yuan family?" Ding Erxie asked in shock.

"I don't know if it is passed down from the ancestors of the Yuan family, but it is the unique skill of that disciple. That little arrow is very powerful, you must be aware of it." Zhao Tong said slowly: "By the way, that disciple of the Yuan family is called Yuanji. "

"Yuanji?!" The people below started talking. This name was very unusual. He was probably the core descendant of the direct lineage of the Yuan family.

After a while, Jian Suyi said: "Your Majesty, what is the origin of Zi Zai Sect?"

"Zi Zi Sect..." Zhao Tong touched his chin when he heard this and said in deep thought: "This sect is more complicated than those two forces."

He had specifically asked Duan Heyu, King of Dali, about Xiao Min's parents. Duan Heyu mentioned Zizaimen in his reply.

Xiao Min's mother was a disciple of the Zi Zi Sect. She was originally Xiao Feng's sister-in-law. After the Yanmen Pass Incident, Emperor Tianzuo granted marriage to Xiao Feng and gave birth to Xiao Min.

At that time, Zhao Tong knew that Xiao Min's mother was from the Zizi sect, so he sent people to investigate the sect. The result was that he would not know until he did the investigation, and he was shocked when he did.

This sect is the largest sect in the entire northwest. It has a long history and can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was founded by a student of Zhuang Zhou.

All the martial arts of Zi Zi Sect have been passed down from ancient times. Even though thousands of years have passed and time has passed ruthlessly, many of them are still preserved, even better than those of Songshan Temple.

But over the years, it has not all been smooth sailing for Zi Zi Sect. There have been constant civil strife, and several major civil strifes have almost interrupted the inheritance. Fortunately, Zi Zi Sect has a profound foundation, and in the end, the dangers were turned into safety and the difficulties were overcome.

Normally speaking, Zizai Sect is not actually a sect of Xixia, but it is just the place where Zizai Sect happened to be founded. Zizai Sect's purpose is mainly freedom and freedom, and does not care about the disputes between the country and the dynasty, so it has always peacefully coexisted with Xixia.

But a major event happened in Zizaimen more than a hundred years ago, which directly affected this pattern of keeping water in the well and tightly tied Zizaimen to the Xixia royal family.

But these were not obtained by Zhao Tong's own investigation, but from what his master Jin Tai said.

Jintai's wife, Li Canghai, was one of the four direct disciples of the Zizai Sect at that time, and the youngest junior sister.

At that time, the leader of Zi Zai Sect was called Old Man Zi Zai. In addition to the four direct disciples, there were also several ordinary disciples in the sect, and they were very prosperous.When Li Yuanhao founded the country in Xixia, he went to Zi Zai's door in person to give gifts. He wanted to invite Zi Zai to serve as a national advisor, but he was declined.

Although Li Yuanhao was a tycoon of his generation, he was very greedy for power, lustful, and extremely violent. However, he was not angry about it this time. Instead, he laughed it off and told his subordinates not to embarrass him and to live in peace with him.

This was not because Li Yuanhao had changed his temper, but because he was shocked and fell in love with one of Zi Zai's direct disciples.

This disciple's name is Li Shuangmei, and she is Li Canghai's sister. The two sisters are both Dangxiang people and have no Zang surname. After entering the school, they changed their Chinese surname to Li.

Li Shuangmei's party name does not hide Qiushui, and Li Canghai's party name does not hide Hanhai.

Li Shuangmei was 25 years old and Li Canghai was only 12 years old.

Originally, with Li Yuanhao's powerful character, he could have sent a large army to attack Zizimen and snatch Li Shuangmei as his concubine. Although there were many experts in Zizimen, it would be difficult to save her under the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

But Li Yuanhao, who had been unruly for most of his life, did not do so this time. Instead, he went directly back to the Xingqing Palace. However, he sighed every day and often felt sad.

The reason is that although he has had countless women throughout his life, he has never had a romantic relationship. Now that he has founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor, he looks down on all directions. Whenever he thinks of this matter, he feels very regretful.

As soon as he saw Li Shuangmei, he fell in love and fell in love with her. He thought that the other person could fall in love with him, so he didn't want to do the same rough behavior in the past, and wanted to make the other person truly convinced and committed to him.

Although he was a member of the Party, he had been awarded an official position in the Song Dynasty before he rebelled and founded the country. He also often read Chinese books and military books. He was proficient in the languages ​​​​of Han, Tubo, Uighur, and Liao countries, and he also understood Buddhism and Taoism.

So he knew that the Zizi Sect was founded by the apprentice of the master Zhuang Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. Who was Zhuang Zhou?That is a sub-level figure who founded a sect of learning, influenced hundreds of schools, and was passed down through the ages.

However, even a man like Zhuangzi had to fake his death to test his wife's loyalty. He saw that true love is rare. Every time he thought about this, Li Yuanhao became more and more disappointed and regretful, so he often sent people to send gifts to Zizaimen, and then sent gifts to Zizaimen. Mixed with valuables, he gave it to Li Shuangmei alone.

But Li Shuangmei had already had his heart at this time, but his second brother Tian Luzi.

The four direct disciples of Old Man Zi Zai are senior sister Wu Feiyun, second senior brother Tian Luzi, third senior sister Li Shuangmei, and junior sister Li Canghai.

Tian Luzi also had feelings for Li Shuangmei, and the two communicated secretly, but no one else knew about it.

Li Shuangmei saw that the gifts from Li Yuanhao were getting more and more valuable, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, so she secretly discussed with Tian Luzi. Tian Luzi was worried that Li Yuanhao coveted Li Shuangmei, so he planned to elope together.

At this moment, Tian Luzi was already a master in martial arts, and Li Shuangmei was just one step away from becoming a master. He could go anywhere in the world. If Li Yuanhao hadn't been the emperor of Xixia and commanded a heavy army, he wouldn't have thought of doing this.

The two of them didn't even discuss it with Old Man Zizi. Li Shuangmei only had a brief chat with her sister Li Canghai, and then left the sect with Tian Luzi and walked away.

Who knew that this would not only make Li Yuanhao angry, but also Zizimen would be in chaos.

Although Li Yuanhao was angry, he was asking for consensual behavior after all, and did not blame Zizaimen for this, but Zizaimen couldn't resist it anymore.

The reason was that the senior sister Wu Feiyun also secretly belonged to Tianluzi. Tianluzi and Li Shuangmei suddenly eloped without any warning. She was immediately confused and despairing, and even made a fuss in the door.

Old Man Zizi scolded her a few words, but she turned around and left the sect and ran to Tianshan Mountain.

Even though Old Man Zi Zi has reached the state of martial arts, he is already over a hundred years old after all. The four disciples were all recruited after they were a hundred years old. At this moment, he was about to pass on the mantle and step down as the master of the sect. He did not care about worldly affairs, but he did not expect that the four of them ran away. After three children, there is only one 12-year-old apprentice left. He still thinks about playing every day, how can he take over as the leader.

He fell ill immediately out of anger, and later he practiced Qigong to cure his illness. As a result, he became obsessed and fell on the bed. A few years later, he died in extreme frustration.

When the old man passed away, Li Canghai was already sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had no time to manage the sect. He thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to run away!
So he abandoned the Zi Zi Sect and came to the Song Dynasty. Relying on his magical martial arts, he challenged the masters of the martial arts everywhere until he met Jintai at Songshan Temple. The two fell in love at first sight and walked together in the rivers, lakes and green forests. Later, Emperor Renzong held a Shenzhou competition to select heroes. In the army, Jintai won the first place, entered the court, served as an official in the Liao Dynasty, and protected Wang Anshi's reform. After that, he retired after success and took Li Canghai to live overseas in seclusion.

At this point, the Zi Zi Sect has actually been disbanded. Tian Luzi and Li Shuangmei took away some of the many martial arts secrets, and Wu Feiyun took another part. When Li Canghai came out, he also took away the remaining powerful ones, and the remaining ordinary disciples did not get them. The old man Guo Zizai really taught me, and there were no good secrets to practice, so he became no different from an ordinary third-rate sect.

But things are often unexpected. Even Li Yuanhao thought that just when the Zizai Sect was about to completely decline and disappear, Li Shuangmei suddenly came back!

According to Jintai's speculation, there must have been a falling out with Tian Luzi for some unknown reason, so only one person returned.

After Li Shuangmei came back, she immediately took charge of the Zi Zi Sect. She and Tian Luzi took away the most martial arts secrets. Now they re-opened the sect, recruited many disciples, and appointed a few direct successors to pass on the powerful martial arts they had taken away.

Li Yuanhao was overjoyed when he learned that Li Shuangmei was back, and came to pursue her personally. Li Shuangmei readily agreed, and from then on she became the master of the Zizi Sect and Li Yuanhao's concubine.

Later, Li Shuangmei gave birth to a son for Li Yuanhao, named Li Liangzuo, who was the second emperor of Xixia, Yizong of Xixia.

At this time, Li Shuangmei had restored the party name to Wu Zang Qiushui, and Li Liangzuo ascended the throne and was honored as the former emperor and queen, the queen mother of the dynasty, and later generations called her Queen Wu Zang, Queen Xuanmu Huiwen, and Queen Mother Wu Zang.

Li Liangzuo gave birth to a son, Li Bingchang, who was the third emperor of Xixia, Huizong of Xixia.

Li Bingchang gave birth to a son, Li Qianshun, who is the current Emperor of Xixia and the fourth emperor of Xixia.

But there are still many mysteries here. After Li Shuangmei married Li Yuanhao as his concubine, almost all of Li Yuanhao's other sons died, and only Li Liangzuo was left. The causes of death of Li Yuanhao's other sons were all extremely weird, including those who rebelled, those who jumped into the river, and those who wanted to kill. Among those whose father was killed, there was a son named Li Ningming who died because he was disobedient and unable to eat while practicing qigong. This is recorded in "Xi Xia Shu Shi".

As for Zi Zi Sect's main court in Xixia, not only was it revitalized because of Li Shuangmei's return, Tian Luzi also passed down the mantle outside, and Wu Feiyun also had a mantle passed down in Tianshan. Just like this, Zi Zi Sect survived a near death and was reborn. Lively.

And because of Li Shuangmei's relationship, the main court of Xixia's Zizi Sect has been tightly tied to the Xixia royal family ever since.

These are what Jintai told Zhao Tong. When Jintai and Li Canghai were living in seclusion overseas, Li Canghai learned that Li Shuangmei had returned to Xixia and sent someone to visit him, so he knew these things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tong couldn't help but touch his clothes. On the day before leaving Songshan Temple, he went to say goodbye to Jintai. Jintai gave him a booklet. In this booklet, there are some things that Li Canghai brought out from Zizaimen. Martial arts, not all, but some of the best parts.

And the inheritance that Li Canghai left overseas can also be regarded as a lineage of the Zizi Sect...
