King of Song

Chapter 420 The Wind Blows Again
"Tomorrow, you stay safe, and you must bring back the Prime Minister safe and sound!" In Suizhou City, Queen Mother Liang repeatedly urged Tuobashi.

The agreed time is almost here, and it can be said that the Empress Dowager Liang has worked hard for her younger brother's return.Such a peace treaty has also reluctantly agreed, but it also loses face but can't just lose it like this...

"Yes!" Tuoba Shi bowed and agreed, but beads of sweat kept rolling off his forehead.He was the one who reached the intention of peace talks, exempting the five-year yearly gift from the Song Dynasty, which was a huge loss for Xixia, but Lin Zhao refused to give in an inch, and Tuobashi was helpless.He was worried that the Empress Dowager Liang would get angry directly, but she readily agreed, but even so, he was still not at ease.After all, he is in charge of the peace talks, and if there is any infamy, he must bear it!
"Empress Dowager, the minister is incompetent, and the peace talks failed. Dare to ask the Empress Dowager what orders, so that I can make up for it!" Tuoba Shi felt that the Empress Dowager Liang seemed to have other plans, but he didn't know anything about it. It seemed necessary to ask ask.

"What is the crime?" Queen Mother Liang asked softly.

"Those five years' gifts..."

"Haha, I signed the peace agreement, if guilty, it should be me!"

Tuoba Shi was terrified all of a sudden, how could Shengming's empress dowager be at fault?Sweat poured down my forehead again.

Empress Dowager Liang laughed sharply: "It's just a five-year old gift, and the people of the Song Dynasty are unwilling to give it to us readily, so we have no choice but to... just grab it back by ourselves!"

"Queen Mother, what do you mean? How about the minister?" Tuoba Shi vaguely understood something.

"You, bring the prime minister back safely, and then make another appointment." The Empress Dowager Liang paused for a moment, and continued: "Is it aggrieved these days? After tomorrow, I will give you a good opportunity to relieve your anger, but you must seize it gone."

"Yes!" Tuoba Shi had fully understood, and then happily left.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Mengye came, and since that night, he has temporarily fallen out of favor.For a long time, the Empress Dowager Liang only called him once.Although he worked very hard, Queen Mother Liang was very dissatisfied, and then ignored him.He only thought it was his own problem, but he didn't know that Empress Dowager Liang still remembered the joy of that night in the clouds deep in her heart. He missed it very much because he knew the taste, and he couldn't do it!

Wang Mengye, who is on the verge of falling out of favor, is very anxious. Once a face loses favor, what else can he have?There will be nothing, including possibly life.So he came back with the cheek to flatter Queen Mother Liang, hoping to win favor again.

Empress Dowager Liang was thinking about important things in her heart at this moment, where there is no leisure, so she looked at Wang Mengyao with hatred, and said angrily: "Look at you, what kind of virtue is it now?"

"Empress Dowager, I made a mistake, please give me another chance!" Wang Mengye immediately knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Liang, trembling, with a respectful attitude.

"Give you another chance?" Queen Mother Liang asked coldly, when she was about to get angry, her eyes suddenly moved, and she said softly: "Okay, then I will give you another chance."

Wang Mengxi subconsciously understood that it was wrong, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, she had prepared good things that would ensure that the Queen Mother would be satisfied.However, he soon realized that what the queen mother gave him seemed to be another "opportunity".

"The iron kite has arrived, I'll give you a chance, you must grab it, you look like a man!" Empress Dowager Liang said coldly with her phoenix eyes.

"Iron kite?" Wang Mengye was slightly taken aback, his eyes suddenly brightened when he was still disappointed.If this is the case, it is definitely a good opportunity. If you can seize it, you may have a chance to re-enter the scene.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to expectations!" Wang Mengye agreed happily, and then asked: "Queen Mother, where is the goal?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when the time comes." A sneer flicked across the corner of Empress Dowager Liang's mouth, and the sky in the northwest was about to change suddenly.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The date for the return of Liang Yibu is set on May 27, and the place is the poplar forest where the peace talks were held.

Although Xixia has some unruly actions, there are only signs, after all, they haven't been activated yet.So Liang Yibu naturally cannot be detained. If Xixia doesn't move, wouldn't it be justified?Let alone leave an excuse and ask for trouble.

Furthermore, the loss of a Liang Yibu in Xixia does not mean the loss of a prime minister.Without his support, can Queen Mother Liang survive alone?Will it be the opponents of those party nobles?Wouldn't it be better to have two forces fighting each other in Xixia?The small country leader Li Bingchang is also growing up day by day, and the forces in Xixia will become more and more complicated.

The fight between snipe and clam for the fisherman's profit has been the best policy since ancient times.

"Liang Guoxiang, I am wronged, you can return to your homeland today! On the way there, Lin Zhao looked at Liang Yibu in the carriage and smiled lightly. He is now an old acquaintance, but he rarely chats and jokes.

Liang Yibu just smiled, a bit bitterly.I can finally go back, end this prison life, and everyone will be happy to be free.But Liang Yibu felt a little worried, not because he was more timid when he was close to his hometown, but because he felt ashamed.He didn't know how to behave when he returned to Xixia?How to meet my sister?After all, this time people lost a lot.Furthermore, if I can go back by myself, Xixia must have spent a lot of money, alas!
Everything was thanks to Lin Zhao. Although Liang Yibu was annoyed, his life as a prisoner made him see the reality clearly and he matured a lot.Although he hated Lin Zhao in his heart, he also knew that he had many shortcomings.He will no longer be as impulsive as before. As for the matter of revenge, let's make a long-term plan after returning to Xixia!

Lin Zhao took Liang Yibu to exchange on this trip. It can be said that the defense was tight. Zhong Shidao personally led an army of [-] guards, and Liu Changzuo also supported him from afar.After all, after learning the news that the iron kite appeared in Suizhou, their nerves were a little sensitive, and they had to be careful.

Sure enough, along the way, Lin Jian occasionally drilled a head to see the power of the Song army, and finally retreated quietly.Playing around at this time is purely courting death.

All the way was safe and sound, and finally came to the poplar forest, and it was safe and sound along the way.This time it involved the handover of important people, both Lin Zhao and Tuoba Shi brought ten guards to ensure that there would be no problems.

Seeing Liang Yibu from a distance, Tuobashi was very excited, finally he was going to return to the country, and the task assigned by the queen mother was about to be completed, so the corner of his mouth showed a bit of joy.

"The last general, Tuobashi, will meet with the Prime Minister!" After getting closer, Tuobashi rushed forward to greet him.

Lin Zhao also laughed and said, "Send Liang Guoxiang back to Xixia!"

"Thank you Lin Shilang for your care over the past few days, I will definitely keep it in my heart, and I will try to repay you in the future!" Seeing the Xixia people, Liang Yibu felt that there was no need to bear it anymore, and finally he could speak.

"You don't have to be polite, Prime Minister Liang Guo, you should!" Naturally, Lin Zhao didn't take Liang Yibu's threat to heart.He hated himself, and dealt with himself not once or twice, but it was a pity that he always ended in failure, and the result was more embarrassing each time.Lin Zhao used to be just an ordinary small official, but now his strength is not what it used to be, so naturally he is not afraid of Liang Yibu.Waiting for you at any time, I don't mind if I have to humiliate myself.

"Welcome to Xixia as a guest in the future!" Liang Yibu flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to walk away.

Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Don't worry, sign the covenant before leaving!"

"Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager ordered you to sign a peace treaty with the Song Dynasty on behalf of Xixia!" Tuoba Shi hurriedly reported with a mocking smile.

Liang Yibu just accepted the peace agreement from Tuobashi, and his face turned livid after only a few glances.The five-year old gift is gone?He is the prime minister of Xixia, so he knows the financial situation of Xixia well.I didn't expect my sister to pay such a high price in exchange for her.Liang Yibu felt even more ashamed, and at the same time gave Tuobashi a cold look, implying that you can agree to such a peace agreement?

Up to now, Liang Yibu didn't know that his sister was in Suizhou, and thought that Tuobashi was the plenipotentiary representative.

Tuobashi said aggrievedly: "If the queen mother nods, please ask the prime minister to sign!"

They had to sign the peace treaty. Even though they got Liang Yibu back, they didn't go to a safe place after all!In case of attacking on the spot, if Liang Yimi makes a mistake, all previous efforts will be for naught!Today's matter must be handed over to someone and signed with one hand!
As Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom, Liang Yibu was also a very smart person. Seeing Tuobashi's hints, he didn't understand why, so he didn't ask too many questions, so he reluctantly agreed to sign the peace treaty.

Lin Zhao glanced at it, and wrote his name casually, then smiled at Liang Yibu: "Happy cooperation!"

This time, Liang Yibu really walked away without looking back.Seeing this, Tuoba Shi hastily followed. He has too many things to report to the Prime Minister.

Lin Zhao smiled, turned and left as well.Under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to stop anyone. If you have any plans, see you later on the battlefield.Still the same sentence, the soldiers come to cover the water and the earth, with this peace agreement, let the Xixia people jump around!At this moment, the poplar leaves suddenly rustled, and the wind picked up again...

"Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager is in Suizhou!" After walking away, Tuoba Shi told Liang Yibu this almost open secret.

"What? My sister came to Suizhou?" Liang Yibu was a little unbelievable. Did my sister come to Suizhou for herself?The more this was the case, the more upset Liang Yibu felt, and the more ashamed he was, he didn't know what to do for a while but met his sister.

Tuobashi saw it before him, shook his head lightly and said: "You don't have to worry about it, the Queen Mother has a big plan in Suizhou, and the Prime Minister will know it after returning."

Liang Yibu glanced at Tuobashi suspiciously, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.Immediately, he didn't dare to stop, and hurried back to Suizhou.

In fact, Tuoba Shi had already sent a messenger back to report the news.The Empress Dowager Liang who was in Suizhou learned that Liang Yibu had returned safely, and immediately issued an order!
