Liu Sheng looked at a few Song Realm party members and asked: "These days, I heard that Dongshengzhou is not in service to make people's households, break the ice and open the river, I don't know if there is such a thing?" For what? To be controlled Lao Tzu is so big, do you have to fight with the Khitan again? ”

Tuoba Wu buried: "There is no such thing. The Khitan people now have two emperors, and they have to share life and death, how can they still fight! ”

Liu Sheng said: "Is there any such thing as opening the river?" ”

Liang Sanhammer stepped forward and saluted: "There is something to break the ice, but it is not to open the river, but to take the ice." The Han people who came here were very extravagant, and I heard that they took advantage of the cold weather to take ice and store it in the cellar, and used it in the summer. Not only opened the ice, but also built several large ice cellars to serve the households. ”

Liu Sheng said: "This is the best. A few days ago, the Song army on the opposite side killed the Khitan Emperor and scared him to death, and the people in the Xia Kingdom were panicked, for fear that they would come along the river. - It's windy here, so let's go to the leeward place over there to talk. ”

After speaking, he took a few people and went to the place where the sand pile was facing the sun and leeward not far away. Sit down by yourself, keep watch with your entourage, and call a few people over.

Looking at a few people, Liu Sheng asked, "What's your name?" Why did you vote for the Xia Kingdom? ”

Tuoba Wu buried his hand: "The little Tuoba Wu is buried, and he has the same surname as your lord——"

Liu Sheng shook his hand again and again: "You can't say that, you can't say that, Xia Guo has long since lost the surname Tuoba, and you can't climb around!" ”

Tuoba Wu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Blame, isn't the Lord of Xia from the Tuoba Department?" ”

Liu Shengdao: "It's from the Tuoba Department, but the first emperor changed his surname to Wei, and all the borders of his country have already been changed." If you want to enter the summer realm, change this surname as soon as possible. It's not okay to change your name, they don't recognize you, change your surname to Li. The Han surnames of many people in Wei are all surnamed Li, which was given by the former Tang Dynasty. ”

The party's strong and prosperous began in the Tang Dynasty, when the military festival was difficult to make Tuoba Sigong, and the emperor was given the surname Li, which was the emperor's surname in the Tang Dynasty. After entering the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty imitated the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, gave the surname Zhao, and entered the jade. Yuan Hao rebelled against the Song Dynasty and changed his surname to Wei, and all Tuoba surnames in the party were changed. After the death of Yuan Hao, Lang Zuo ascended the throne and improved relations with Song, and later used the surname Li after becoming pro-government. Don't use the surname Zhao to indicate independence, and use the surname Li to show that you are willing to accept sinicization.

At this time, Lang Zuo was still in infancy, there was no pro-government, and the surname used was Wei's name. Li Jiqian, Li Deming, and Li Yuanhao said in later generations are all posthumous records, and they do not exist in history, they were Zhao Jiqian, Zhao Deming and Zhao Yuanhao when they were alive, and Yuan Hao's own name changed to my ancestor.

Khitan and Dangxiang are clan names, and they naturally have country names after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The name of the Khitan country is the Great Khitan, and the change to the Great Liao is a matter of Yelu Hongji, who was fighting with his uncle for the emperor at this time. The name of the party is Xia, which is often referred to as Western Xia in later generations.

The royal family name of the Khitan is Yelu, and the Han surname is Liu, which he chose for admiration of the Han Dynasty. The royal family name of the party is Wei, and there is no Tuoba surname since then, and the Han surname is Li, which comes from the surname given by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty was surnamed Liu, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li. Knowing the origin of the royal surnames of these three countries, it is actually a very interesting thing for the three countries to stand side by side.

Tuoba Wubu knew that the other side had already changed his surname, and he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Then the surname is Li." My lord, since Lao Tzu arrived at Hequ Road, he saw that we were not in sight, and he was ruthless, I don't know how many people I killed and how many I broke up. A few days ago, there was a Longtu Laozi, who thought that he wanted to appease people's hearts and never kill people again, but who knew that he just added a false accusation and sat back, or killed countless people. If this continues, where will we still have a way to live in the Song Realm? can only vote for the Xia Kingdom, and his own people, even if they are hard, they can always survive. ”

Liu Sheng said: "I heard that it was because you sold Han people as slaves that the Song Dynasty killed them!" ”

Tuoba Wu buried and said: "My lord, we have been doing this for hundreds of years, which one should not be killed?" In the territory of the Xia Kingdom, wouldn't it be better to sell the slaves and maids of the Song people? Our people, since ancient times, have been like this, the Han people are clever, careful in their work, and willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, they are good slaves. ”

Liu Shengdao: "What you said is also reasonable, but Song Realm has its own Song Law, and it is not our Xia State affair." Now that the Song army is strong, what if I take you in, and wait for Lao Tzu to come to ask for it? If he doesn't give it to him, he will force him with a large army, won't it be ugly then? ”

Liang San hammered and said: "My lord, Lao Tzu is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, can he really sweep the summer realm?" ”

Liu Sheng shook his head again and again: "It's 30,000 Hequ Road!" The Song Dynasty is vast and has a large population, so why is it difficult to transfer hundreds of thousands from the mainland? ”

Liang Sanhammer said: "The soldiers and horses transferred have no guns or cannons, how can they compare with the 30,000 on Hequ Road?" ”

Liu Sheng listened to it and said curiously: "What, is it possible that only these 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Song Realm can fight like this?" ”

Liang Sanhammer said: "These 30,000 are not soldiers who can fight, but they rely on sharp guns." If there are no guns, why are we so manipulating the Tibetan tribe? When it comes to bow horses, they are comparable to those of us who grew up on horseback? ”

Liu Sheng sighed: "But they have guns and cannons, so they can only be careful, how dare they tease?" ”

Tuoba Wu saw that Liu Sheng should not speak, and was a little anxious, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, there will be 30,000 soldiers and horses under Lao Tzu!" The so-called two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, and the soldiers of the Khitan country are only a small victory, and they are afraid of 30,000 soldiers and horses? ! ”

Liang Sanhammer said: "There are no less than 10,000 accounts in Hequ Road, many cattle and sheep, as well as accumulated gold and silver, all come to your country, what a great merit!" ”

Liu Sheng hesitated when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "I'm just guarding the border, and I can't be the master." Well, if you really want to, I will send someone to report to the minister. This can only be done if the Prime Minister agrees. ”

Tuoba Wu buried a few people who didn't know about the party and state affairs, and listened to Liu Sheng's meaning, the prime minister should have the final say, and he agreed.

After Bao Zheng arrived, he was more relaxed than Du Zhongxiao, forbade false accusations, and reduced the number of death sentences. However, what is implicated in a major case is still severely punished by law. As the news spread to various places, the government gave rewards very happily, and more and more people made more and more complaints, and more and more people were implicated. Most of the people involved were tribal leaders or important figures, and many tribes were directly killed and dispersed. The people of the various tribes were panicked and sought a way out, so their brains naturally moved to the party of the same tribe, Xia Guolai.

Liu Sheng was the guard of the party opposite, and many people brought news to take refuge, so they made up their minds to meet these people.

Tang Longzhen's killing of Yelu Zongzhen not only frightened the Khitan, but also scared the party. The party guards who were connected to Hequ Road and Linfu Road had been particularly cautious recently, for fear of a sudden attack by the Song army. The Khitan army of 100,000 attacked the city, and the emperor was killed like that, how many heads did they have?

In the past, the party had a lot of detailed work around, but now they dare not send it, and Liu Sheng knows very little about the news of Hequ Road. There was an opportunity, and I inquired in detail about the situation of Hequ Road, and only then did I agree to report to the top and send a few people away.

When Yuan Hao died, he was ordered to be the new monarch from his younger brother Ge Ning, but he was resolutely opposed by his uncle Wu Zang. In the end, according to the opinion of Wu Zang, he waited for three months, and after the Wu Zang clan gave birth to Lang Zuo, he became the new king. There is no Tibetan family as the queen mother, and there is no hidden Pang as the minister of state, holding power.

At this time, within the party, there were no hidden brothers and sisters to control the government. did not hide Pang Enoch and other royal forces to divide and rule the three major generals to calm their hearts. The Wuzang clan had an affair with Li Shougui, the housekeeper who was begging in Yeli, and when he became a nun after falling out of favor, he hooked up with the Bao Xi who served him at that time, and these two adulterers became her right and left hands. The brothers and sisters of Wuzang plus these people are the people in charge of the party at this time.

Like the Khitan, the party also has contradictions between the royal family and the descendants. Liang Zuo is young, and it is the descendants of the Wuzang clan who have the upper hand at this time. And the royal forces such as Nuo Yixiang and Manba were excluded because of their young age, and they quietly waited for the opportunity. Although the party is a state, it is actually still a pattern of division and rule of major tribes, and those in power have various advantages, but they cannot cut down the power of the tribes.
