Chapter 460 Conspiracy
The Song Dynasty sent troops to Hehuang but could not scare him.
After all, the Song Dynasty spent a lot of money to build the Great Wall in the north.
The repairs have not yet been completed, but the civil strife in Liao is showing signs of subside. Li Liangzuo does not believe that the Song Dynasty will break up with Xixia.
But Dong Zang not only surrendered to the Song Dynasty in name, but also received reinforcements from the Song Dynasty. He was also very capable.
In a short period of time, the original Hehuang and Tubo tribes have been won over, and the annexed Qiang people have also been completely digested.
Now Hehuang is almost completely managed by Dong Xiang.
When the news came, Li Liangzuo was furious and blamed everything on Liang Guangchuan.
Hehuang's strength is actually not weak. The Qiang and Tubo troops originally had more than 200,000 troops combined.
The reason why there is no threat is that both the Qiang and Tubo people are divided into multiple tribes.
Not only are the two sides able to contain each other, but there is also internal disharmony.
Later, the Hehuang War broke out, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
But after Dong Xiang led the Xisiluo tribe into Hehuang, he not only made up for the previous consumption, but the population and military strength actually exceeded before.
Now Dong Xiang is almost completely in control of Hehuang, with nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
Although Xixia claims to have an army of 600,000, almost all the people are soldiers.
Although Dong Fei's nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses were almost all the people, Xixia would definitely suffer heavy losses if it wanted to take over Hehuang, a unified country.
By then, it's not that Song Dynasty won't dare to break up, but Song Dynasty is deliberately watching the show, waiting for them both to lose.
"I am guilty, please punish me!"
Liang Guangchuan knew that he could not refute, so he could only bow and plead guilty.
"Punish me, punish me, so what if I kill you?"
Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Nowadays, there are many complaints in the court, saying that I was indecisive and spent so much money to acquire a piece of territory without even a human being. What I want to hear now is a way to annex Hehuang!"
"Your Majesty, the only solution for now is to wait!" Liang Guangchuan said.
"Wait?"
Li Liangzuo said with an ugly face: "When will we wait? Wait until Dong Xiang completely controls Hehuang?"
"Didn't His Majesty just say that the civil strife in Liao has subsided? The Liao Kingdom must not want to see the Song Dynasty build the Great Wall, and there will be a battle between Song and Liao. The people of the Susiluo tribe are not sincere in joining the Song Dynasty. They are just worried about being invaded by me. It's just a matter of annexing the country. Once the Song-Liao war breaks out, you can definitely unite with Dong Fei to attack the Song Dynasty!
Compared with Hehuang, the Song Dynasty was a prosperous place. "Liang Guangchuan said.
"Dong Xiang has enmity with Daxia, so how could he agree?" Li Liangzuo asked with a softened expression.
"Yes."
Liang Guangchuan said confidently: "Everything in the world is for profit. Your Majesty, please don't forget that the pass between Hehuang and the Song Dynasty is now in the hands of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty wants to send troops to Hehuang, there will be no danger for the entire plain to be defended. . Don’t you want to take it back?”
Li Liangzuo thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "The abbot is right. Capturing some cities in the Song Dynasty is indeed more beneficial than capturing Hehuang."
Although the cities in the northwest of the Song Dynasty were poor after all, that was only for the Song Dynasty.
For Xixia, it is not only wealthy, but also has a large population.
"However, Yi Mi was sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty before, and he was not clear about the Song Dynasty. Although I trust the emperor, there are many criticisms in the court, and I can't ignore them. Let Yi Mi rest at home first, and wait for the limelight to pass. I will use him again," Li Liangzuo said.
"This minister is stupid and cannot be used for much purpose. It is also a good thing to let him settle down at home so that he can serve your Majesty better in the future." Liang Guangchuan said with a calm expression.
"It's good that the father-in-law understands."
Li Liangzuo nodded and asked Liang Guangchuan to retreat first.
Liang Guangchuan bowed and exited the hall, his expression unchanged. His expression turned ugly only after he left the palace and got on the carriage.
He knew that Li Liangzuo dismissed Liang Yimi from his official position in order to give an explanation to the party nobles and to give him a warning.
But others did not understand that he, a Han, became the head of the Xixia Kingdom and also the prime minister. This had already made the party nobles dissatisfied, and various impeachments continued.
He can always sit firmly on Diaoyutai because of Li Liangzuo.
Now that his son has been dismissed from office, it is equivalent to sending a signal to the party nobles that Li Liangzuo no longer trusts him.
By then, not only will the party nobles increase their efforts to impeach him, but it will also make those Han officials lose confidence in him.
It's okay now, Li Liangzuo still needs him. But once there is no fighting between Song and Liao, Li Liangzuo might give up on him and win over the party nobles.
Back home, Liang Yimi learned that his father was back and hurriedly greeted him.
"Father, His Majesty suddenly summoned you to the palace, but what happened?"
"Go in and talk!" Liang Guangchuan said calmly.
Arriving at the main hall, Liang Guangchuan sent the servants out, and then told what happened.
"What?"
Liang Yi stood up impatiently: "Just because of this trivial matter, your Majesty is going to remove me from office?"
Although his official position was not important to him, his status as the queen's younger brother and the prime minister's son was enough.
But it would be embarrassing if word spread about being dismissed from his official position. How would he see anyone in the future?
"Sit down!"

Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Liang Guangchuan scolded with an ugly face: "Now there is even greater trouble waiting for us, can't you help it?"
Liang Yimi was still very afraid of his father and sat down obediently. Hearing this, he asked in confusion: "What is the big trouble that father said?"
Liang Guangchuan told the inside story, and Liang Yimi became anxious after hearing this: "What should I do, father?"
"I was reprimanded in the palace today, and everyone who should know will know it in a short time. As soon as the news of your resignation comes out, everyone will speculate like this. There is no way to reverse it, we can only advance the plan." Liang Guangchuan said coldly.
"Father, you mean..."
Liang Yimi was very excited when he heard this. Liang Guangchuan glared at him and shut up.
"My father has his own thoughts on this matter. You should stay at home during this period and you are not allowed to go out without my permission."
"Father, I..."
"You are not the only son I have."
Liang Yimi was anxious when he heard it, but after hearing Liang Guangchuan's words, he calmed down instantly.
…………
Liang Guangchuan's guess was good. Li Liangzuo summoned him to the palace. No one knew what they talked about specifically, but the sound of throwing tea cups was quite big and could not be hidden from the eunuchs outside the palace.
Many of the nobles in Xixia had eyes and ears in the palace and quickly learned the news.
Although he didn't know the reason, it was always a good thing that Li Liangzuo was so angry with Liang Guangchuan.
The next day, two pieces of news came out.
One is that Liang Yi was dismissed from office, all his official positions were dismissed, and he became white.
The other is that Liang Guangchuan is ill.
When Empress Liang heard the news, she quickly went to see Li Liangzuo and wanted to go home to visit her father.
Li Liangzuo was also very worried about Liang Guangchuan's condition. He not only allowed Empress Liang to visit, but also sent an imperial doctor to accompany her.
…………
Liang Family
After the imperial doctor took the pulse and prescribed the medicine, Empress Liang got Liang Yimi's hint and sent all the servants out.
Liang Guangchuan, who was originally unconscious, opened his eyes and sat up.
"Father, you..."
Queen Liang was startled.
"It's okay to be a father."
Liang Guangchuan waved his hand and said: "Now that the situation is not good for us, the original plan must be accelerated."
"But now my father doesn't have many people in the army. If His Majesty dies, we may not be able to control the situation." Empress Liang frowned.
"Your Majesty is already very dissatisfied with me because of the Hehuang incident and cannot continue to drag it out." Liang Guangchuan said seriously.
