Chapter 737: Hope of Western Xia!
"Is there something strange about the death of my father?"
Li Ningling looked at Li Ba with a stunned and puzzled look, and then Li Ba said, "Not bad! The crown prince can imagine how brave the emperor was during his lifetime? The queen and the Wuyi clan said that it was a gold sore burst, which was too painful and made the emperor crazy, but with the emperor's perseverance, it was impossible to even endure the pain of the gold sore...... So I suspect that the emperor's death is not so simple, he must have been murdered! ”
"Then Uncle Huang ......" Li Ningling hurriedly made a sad and angry look and asked, "What should the child and the imperial uncle do now?" ”
Li Ba had no suspicion of Li Ningling at all, because when he heard that Li Yuan had fallen to his death, the eunuchs and palace maids saw that Li Ningling arrived at the scene after the incident, so Li Ba said to Li Ningling: "At present, our first priority is to stabilize the situation in Xingqing Mansion, and not let the court be in chaos, and ...... Among these ministers in the DPRK and China, it is very likely that there are unscrupulous people lurking, and they must be watched closely, and the news of the emperor's death cannot be spread! Other than that...... The queen and the Wuyi clan should also pay attention to the observation, the prince should keep an eye on this matter, go now! ”
Li Ningling couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Li Ba letting him go to see Yelurong and the Wuyi clan, of course...... On the surface, Li Ningling still looked angry, and before leaving, Li Ningling turned his head to Li Ba and asked, "Uncle Huang, where are you going now?" ”
"I'll go and see the emperor's body......" Li Ba thought about it, and felt that Li Ningling was Li Yuan's son, and now Li Ningling was almost the lord of Western Xia, so this matter must be agreed by Li Ningling, so Li Ba said: "Prince, uncle is going to check the emperor's body now, hoping to find some clues, so the matter between the queen and the Wuyi clan can only be done by you alone!" ”
Li Ningling nodded and said, "Uncle, just go, you can save it!" ”
Li Ningling left Li Ba, and then rushed to the palace in a hurry, and immediately informed Yelurong of the news that Li Ba was going to check on Li Yuan's corpse.
Hearing that Li Ba was suspicious, he didn't move and said bitterly: "Okay, I still haven't been able to hide it from Li Ba!" ”
Ye Lu Rong looked gloomy, she snorted coldly, and said to Wu Yi's family: "Sister, you are wrong, didn't you see that Li Ba has been deceived by Brother Ning?" Otherwise, how could he repeatedly refrain from being the lord of the country, and also told Brother Ning all the doubts in his heart? ”
He didn't think about it, so he didn't speak.
Then Li Ningling asked, "What should we do now?" ”
Ye Lu Rong sneered and said, "Hmph, what he Li Ba can think of, can't I think of?" ”
Then lowered her voice, Ye Lu Rong said to the Wu Yi clan and Li Ningling: "The emperor's corpse, this palace has already let people do it, that person is a confidant brought by this palace from Liao, and now he Li Ba goes to check it, and he can't find anything if he keeps it!" ”
Li Ningling and the Wuyi clan were relieved, and then Li Ningling deliberately came to Li Ba at night and asked him: "Uncle, can I find the evidence, did my father and emperor be framed to death?" ”
Li Ba Jianghu is full of experience, and he was also deceived by Li Ningling's excellent acting skills, he sighed faintly and said: "The emperor's body is full of bruises, where can I find the slightest clue?" ”
In fact, because of Li Yuan's body, Li Ba didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise, if Li Ba could dissect Li Yuan's body, he should be able to find out that Li Yuan was hit hard by Li Ningling's head in the back of his head, and then find out that Yelu Rong and Wu Yi were lying.
But that's it, Li Ba is still very skeptical, and he said to Li Ningling: "Although no evidence was found this time, at least the emperor's corpse was tampered with after his death!" Alas...... also blame the uncle for being negligent for a while, allowing the traitor to take advantage of the loophole, and now the prince will return to the palace immediately, and he must send someone to monitor the residence of the queen and the Wuyi clan, and if there is any change, he will be arrested immediately! ”
Li Ningling nodded and went very obediently.
After returning to the palace, hearing Li Ningling relay Li Ba's words, Yelu Rong said hatefully: "Li Ba is not removed, our sisters still have the prince, and this country is not stable!" ”
Li Ningling was also quite scruples about Li Ba, so he asked: "Li Ba is in power, how can I get rid of him?" ”
Ye Lu Rong thought about it, and then a poisonous plan came to her mind, and then she told Li Ningling again.
Li Ningling nodded again and again, then took a small porcelain vase in Yelurong's hand, and left Yelurong's bedroom.
The next day, Xiao Mo's army broke through Xiliang Mansion, and the news that Wei Mingshou was killed also spread to Xingqing Mansion, which made the people of Xingqing Mansion panic.
Now in Li Ba's mansion, the information about Xiao Mo's army is getting thicker and thicker, and Li Ba has no choice but to be promoted to the mansion to invite the ministers to discuss with Li Ningling.
On the map, the arrow of Xiao Mo's army pointed directly at Huizhou, and Li Ba said to everyone: "As soon as General Wei Mingshouquan dies, only General Xue can take charge of the court alone, but the defense of Jingzhou cannot be lost, and I can't leave Xingqing Mansion. ”
"This ......"
A cadre of Wenchen was speechless!
In the end, Li Ningling was helpless, and said to Li Ba with a sad face: "Uncle, Huizhou is the gateway to Xingqing Mansion, if it is lost, Xingqing Mansion will fall into an embattled situation, and now there are no generals available in the court, and I hope that my uncle will turn the tide!" ”
Li Ningling's meaning is to let Li Ba go to Huizhou to defend, so that Li Ba can be separated, and Li Ningling and Yelurong will be able to sit back and relax in Xingqing Mansion.
I have to say that Li Ningling's wishful thinking is very good, but Li Ba shook his head and said: "No, if I leave Xingqing Mansion, once Jingzhou is lost, who can support it?" ”
After thinking about it, Li Ba didn't have a good way, so he could only sigh and say: "For today's plan, I can only let my Yipintang soldiers go to Huizhou, hoping to drag Xiao Mo's army and wait until Lord Wu comes back from Liao!" ”
Now the situation in Western Xia can be described as fragmented, and the thirteen states of Western Xia, except for Jingzhou and Xingqingfu, are almost all in the hands of the army of the An Dynasty and other tribes.
Among them, Xiping Mansion and the Xiachuan area, as well as Xiliang Mansion, Xuanhua Mansion and Suzhou, have all been recovered by Xiao Mo's army.
But because there was still a glimmer of hope, Li Ba and Li Ning made them never think about the surrender of An Chao at all!
And this glimmer of hope comes from Wu Hao, as well as reinforcements from the Liao army!
