Pang Shiwu said with some surprise: "Li Deming? How could he have such an idea?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Because his eyes betrayed him! His ambition is too great! He will never be willing to just be a Xixia king!"
Pang Shiwu's eyes flashed, and he said with some surprise: "You mean, he wants to be the emperor?"
Feng Jiuxiao raised the wine bowl and took a big sip. She chuckled and frowned, "Damn! This wine is quite strong!" He put down the bowl and looked at Pang Shiwu, "Not bad! He has the ambition to become emperor!"
"How dare a little Xixia king dare to call himself emperor?"
"What's the point? Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, a military general has dared to rebel and proclaim himself emperor, let alone a more powerful king? Didn't you notice? Is the Xixia Dynasty somewhat similar to the Leshan Sect?"
"resemblance?"
"Be able to please both sides, and please both sides. Don't offend either side!"
"Who to please?"
"Of course there is one Khitan and one in the Central Plains! As for the Khitans, they have always fawned over them. In the Central Plains, whoever is in power will please whomever! Starting from Zhu Wen to Guo Wei, whoever is in power will be vassal to whoever is in power. When Zhou Shizong was in power, he would be vassal to him.
Proclaim themselves ministers, and now they are proclaiming their ministers to Emperor Song when he wants to conquer the Central Plains! Being a good little brother in front of two elder brothers is also a skill!"
Liu Miezhou said: "That's right! If someone suddenly becomes unhappy and forces him to take sides, he will be in trouble!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "So he can make both sides turn a blind eye. This is his ability!"
Pang Shishi said: "Brother, since you have seen the ambition of the King of Xixia, do you want to remind Emperor Song?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Who is the Emperor of Song Dynasty? How did he ascend the throne? In his eyes, I am afraid that every general has the ambition to kill him and become the emperor! To be honest, do you think that Zhao Kuangyin is really rough and bold and is a big man?
You bastard? You don’t know anything? Those breasts are totally wrong! The Zhao Kuangyin you can see is the Zhao Kuangyin that Zhao Kuangyin wants you to see! The side he doesn’t want everyone to see, everyone can’t see at all!
He once walked the rivers and lakes alone and made friends with heroes all over the world. How can such a heartless person survive to this day?"
Pang Shishi was a little puzzled, "Oh brother, who everyone can see is what he wants everyone to see. Is this a tongue twister, brother?"
"What a tongue twister! Just ask if you don't understand!"
"Haha, I'm surprised. I know that Xixia is a serious problem but still let it develop. Isn't it dangerous if the problem remains in the future?"
Liu Miezhou laughed and said: "The fifteenth brothers are getting smarter and smarter. They actually know the word "the tail is too big to lose", which is amazing!"
Pang Shiwu suddenly felt a little awkward and frowned, "As you said, my eldest brother and I are together every day, and we have smoked out, right? Brother? Who are you looking down on!"
Liu Mizhou laughed and said: "Oh, I was wrong, fifteen brothers!"
Pang Shiwu immediately poured him a bowl of wine, weighed it, and shouted: "Little brother, the wine is gone!"
Someone downstairs immediately responded: "Okay, the wine will be here soon!"
Pang Shishi said: "Brother, why don't they try to eradicate Xixia?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "When you discover a disaster but don't eliminate it, how many reasons do you think there will be?"
Pang Shishi was startled, "If it were me, I would definitely eradicate it. Why not eradicate it?"
Feng Jiuxiao rolled her eyes at him, "There are two reasons why we don't want to eradicate it! One is that we don't want to eradicate it, and it would be more useful to keep it. The other is that our strength does not allow it and we cannot eradicate it, or the price we have to pay is too high, so it is not appropriate to eradicate it for the time being!
"
Pang Shiwu asked doubtfully: "What's the use of keeping it? What's the use? Keep it to dig a hole for yourself?"
Feng Jiuxiao was so angry that she waved her hand as if to slap him, "What kind of hole are you digging? Even if you dig a hole, you are digging a hole for others. How can you dig a hole for yourself?"
"Who are you digging a hole for?"
"Damn! Of course you are digging a hole for the enemy! Who is Zhao Kuangyin's biggest enemy? Empress Dowager Xiao! Who is Empress Dowager Xiao's biggest enemy? Zhao Kuangyin! Do you know why Zhuge Liang dared to agree to Liu Bei's coming out?" Pang Shi didn't wait.
After five words, Feng Jiuxiao directly gave the answer himself, "Because the world is divided into three parts! Although the heroes were divided at that time, he was sure to promote the three-legged power through the alliance! Once the three-legged power is established, the three families will restrain each other, and no one will dare to take action rashly!
Once Cao Cao took action, Sun and Liu joined forces. In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao lost his troops and did not dare to go south again! Therefore, with Xixia as a third force, the Khitan and the Song Dynasty would have some scruples and would not dare to use large-scale troops. Both sides
Instead, it maintains a certain deterrence balance!"
"Oh, I understand. If anyone dares to attack Xixia suddenly, he may have to pay for his hometown later, right?"
"right!"
"But I still don't understand how powerful the little Xixia can be and how much of a deterrent effect it can have? Whether it's the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, wouldn't they be wiped out by sending a team of cavalry?"
"What? Do you think Xixia is made of earth? Then you don't know much about Xixia!"
"Brother, tell me, what's going on in Xixia? Is it that powerful?"
"Actually, their title as King of Xia has just been conferred not long ago, and it has always been Duke of Xia!"
Pang Shishi poured Feng Jiuxiao a glass of wine, "I thought they were always king!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Although they claim to be kings on the surface, in fact they have been the uncrowned kings for a long time!"
He paused and took a sip of Jade Chan, "The Li family's success was due to their meritorious service in the siege of Huang Chao. Tuoba Sigong was named the Military Envoy of the Dingnan Army, and was granted the title of Xia, Sui, and Yin Prefectures, as well as the command of You.
, the two Yan states, a total of five states, were given the surname Li, which has since laid a solid foundation for the Li family of Xixia to become an independent dynasty!"
Liu Miezhou said: "It sits on the land of five states, has its own army, and is a small independent court."
Pang Shishi said: "Is this the so-called separatist regime of vassal towns?"
Liu Miezhou said: "Yes!"
Pang Shishi said: "Then the Tang clan is not a fool? Didn't the Anshi Rebellion teach him a lesson? Let this party member become bigger and stronger, and he was granted the title of Duke and King. Isn't this digging a hole for himself?
?"

Huang Chao bloodbathed Chang'an and almost destroyed the entire Tang Dynasty, but Li Sigong stepped forward at the critical moment of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty
He went out to save the Tang clan from the fire and water, and if he was petty in the final discussion of merit and rewards, then who would work for him in the future? Therefore, he was granted the title of Duke of Xia and the land of the five states!"
"There's nothing wrong with heavy rewards, but you can't grant the land to the five states all at once! Isn't this the same mistake again? Didn't Anlushan grow up from the northwest back then?"
"Well, there is progress! After Li Sigong's death, it stands to reason that the military governor of the Difficult Army should be replaced, but this position was given to his younger brother!"
"Damn, this is hereditary?"
"good!"
"Then it's not a fool anymore? How can a military general have a hereditary title? It's so stupid. What kind of sect in the Tang Dynasty? Just be stupid. Even if it's hereditary, your son and grandson should inherit the title, right? Why do you let your younger brother take over?
Where is the seat?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Because his son died early and his grandson is young, the situation dictates that my younger brother can only take over!"
Pang Shishi said: "This brother is so lucky!"
Zeng Yong suddenly said: "Zhao Guangyi's life is not bad! He got the dragon energy. I think Zhao Kuangyin will be the emperor of the Song Dynasty in a hundred years!"
Chang Zijin was startled and said with a smile: "Fortunately there are no outsiders around, otherwise your words would be enough to punish the nine tribes!"
Zeng Yong said proudly: "Aren't the Thirteen Taibao of the Wei family and the Fifteen Swordsmen of the Leshan Sect human beings? So what if I say so? I'm not afraid of them!"
Pang Shishi said: "Yes, who dares to mess with you, Brother Zeng? Brother, after talking for a long time, you mean that the Xixia people are very powerful in fighting, and they are definitely not as weak as they seem, right?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What Xixia used was a stratagem to hide from the sky! Show their weakness to the Khitan and the Song Dynasty! When their wings are full, it will definitely be the day when they become emperor! Think about how powerful Huang Chao's army was back then, in one fell swoop
They invaded Chang'an, bloodbathed the Tang Dynasty, and almost wiped out all the powerful nobles for generations. However, the Dangxiang people did not have many troops, but they were able to defeat Huang Chao steadily. Do you think the Dangxiang people are weak?"
Pang Shishi said: "Not weak! But I can kill that Li Deming! When the time comes, Xixia will be leaderless and become a mess. The Song Dynasty cavalry will sweep all the way. It will take a few days to win!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Why did you want to kill Li Deming?"
Pang Shishi was startled, "Removing hidden dangers for Emperor Song?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If the matter is so simple, then Zhao Kuangyin is still fighting in the south and north, and let the assassins of the Imperial City Division assassinate all the emperors of the ten countries. Wouldn't it be over? Kill the Empress Dowager Che Xiao together and capture the Khitan.
Is it just around the corner?”
Pang Shishi was stunned for a long time, "Hey, yes, then why are they not willing to use this move to assassinate the leader?"
"Assassinating the enemy chief is the best choice only under special circumstances! For example, for primitive tribes, the power of life and death of the entire tribe is concentrated in the hands of the leader. If he dies, the entire tribe will be defeated, and beheading is extremely effective. Do you understand?
"
"clear."
"But for a huge feudal empire that has been running for many years, the results of beheading operations are different. Unlike tribal chiefs, although the emperor has the most power, the operation of the entire dynasty will not completely collapse because the emperor is dead!
On the contrary, like the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, power changed frequently, and the death of the previous emperor was the happy day of the next emperor!"
"Then I will kill all the Li family members! So that no one can inherit the throne! Kill all their sons, grandsons, daughters, nephews, younger brothers, uncles, uncles, and I will see who can succeed to the throne!"
"Are you ruthless?"
"I have no choice but to do justice for heaven!"
"Hmph! Even if all his rough relatives are killed, he still has hundreds of civil and military officials under his command! They are all Dangxiang people. Their blood is destined to resist the rule of the Han people. If their king surrenders, they can rule all the Dangxiang people! So you kill
It’s not enough to kill the royal family, we have to continue killing!”
"Continue to kill?" Pang Shishi was a little confused, "Aren't you afraid after killing all the other princes and nobles in the royal family? Don't you know how to surrender?"
"You didn't surrender in the face of Huang Chao's army, but you surrendered in the face of the assassins of the Song Dynasty? People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? If the royal family is all dead, there will be other nobles who will continue to raise the banner to confront the Song Dynasty.
, after killing all these nobles, other lower-class people will continue to fight against the Song army! Rule the world, and the benevolent are invincible! Whenever there is oppression, there will be resistance! Killing cannot solve the problem! You said that celebrities killing kings is good for the people.
, but their people won’t think so! If you kill their king, you will be their sworn enemy, and no matter how you wash it off, you can’t wash it away!”
"Brother, I understand a little when you say this. The best way to conquer Xixia is to conquer their leader first! As long as Li Deming surrenders to the Song Dynasty, the entire Xixia will be under the control of the Song Dynasty! So the most important thing is to let
Li Deming did not dare to talk about the war lightly and did not dare to challenge the Song Dynasty easily!"
"Not bad! You finally figured it out! Let Li Deming not dare to easily challenge the authority of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty must always maintain the belief that it must win and constantly improve its overall strength! Otherwise, once Xixia sees the weak side of the Song Dynasty, they will
I will take the opportunity to set up my own business!"
"The Song Dynasty is so powerful now, what's the weak side?"
"It may be easy to say when Zhao Kuangyin is alive, but what will happen after a hundred years? The Central Plains has experienced five dynasties, almost all of which are short-lived. How many more years can the Song Dynasty last? Who can predict? Maybe it will go downhill after ten years, and then someone will
Maybe it can be replaced!”
"Aren't you optimistic about Zhao Kuangyin?"
"I am optimistic that among the ten countries in the world, he is the only one with the most strength to unify the world. Supporting him is actually to speed up the process of unification! But how many years he can be emperor, I don't know how to tell fortunes!"
Zeng Yong suddenly said, "When Zhao Guangyi returns to Kyoto, it will be the day of Zhao Kuangyin's funeral!"
Pang Shishi was startled, "How do you know? Have you learned fortune telling recently?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zeng Yongdao: "Your elder brother can't say it clearly, but I don't care! Didn't you see Zhao Guangyi's ambition?"
Pang Shishi said: "I can see it. He must want to be the emperor, or else he came to grab the dragon energy? But Yue Kuangyin died as soon as he returned. Isn't this too mysterious?"
Liu Miezhou was a little drunk, but he still looked sober, "What is Xuan? Zhao Guangyi is cruel and ruthless. He will definitely find an opportunity to kill his elder brother when he returns to Kyoto!"
Pang Shishi was startled, "To do something to your own brother? Isn't this too heartless?"
Zeng Yongdao: "The most ruthless emperor's family!"
Pang Shishi was stunned, "This sentence is so familiar, it seems that my eldest brother has said it before!"
Chang Zijin said: "My dreams are wet with tears, and I sing songs in the front hall late at night. My love for a beauty is cut off before I am old, and I sit leaning on a smoked cage until dawn. Poor beauty is always ill-fated. The most ruthless emperor's family. This is Bai Juyi's
poetry."
Pang Shiwu said, "Why do you think it sounds so familiar? To say that, Zhao Guangyi is so inhumane! Brother, you don't care?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What should I do? Kill Zhao Guangyi? Just say that I suspect you want to kill Zhao Kuangyin, so I came to kill you?"
Pang Shiwu said: "That's right. He hasn't taken action yet, so we can't infer guilt! So what should we do?"
Yuan Zishan said: "Let nature take its course."
Pang Shishi said blankly: "Just leave it to fate?"
Yuan Zishan said: "You can do your best, listen to fate, and go with the flow, but you can't act against nature! There is a time in your destiny that must be there, but there is no time in your destiny. Don't force it!"
Pang Shishi was a little strange, "Sister-in-law, have you been reading Taoist books recently?"
Yuan Zishan deliberately pretended to be surprised, "How did you know?"
Pang Shiwu was really surprised, "Sister-in-law, are you really reading Taoist classics?"
Yuan Zishan took out a thin booklet from her sleeve and shook it deliberately. The three words on it were very clear and Pang Shiwu recognized them.
