Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo's move is really too clever, unlike Song Emperor Zhao Mao, Li Liangzuo's canonization is the real power of the Great Song Empire, the three of them together master more than seventy percent of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, if the three of them rebel at the same time, then the entire Great Song Empire will also completely collapse, in fact, Li Liangzuo's purpose is not to let the three of them rebel, but to split the Great Song Dynasty from within.
Seed Master Dao, Wang Kai, Zhang Miao three people are the three commanders of the Great Song Dynasty with great qualifications, the army under their command, basically all of them are trained by themselves, especially the Jianghan Army under Wang Kai, which is built by Wang Kai, and the Jianghan Army has become the most elite and wealthy army in the Great Song Dynasty, with the danger of Xiangyang, backed by the Jianghan Plain, Wang Kai and not worried about the soldiers and salary, Wang Kai has been fully capable of dominating one side, and Wang Kai has been able to defend the Jianghan area for so many years, and has made great achievements for the Great Song Dynasty.
However, the Great Song Dynasty's reward for Wang Kai has always been limited, and in recent years, there have even been signs of inhibiting Wang Kai's development.
The holy decree of Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo soon passed to the hands of the three people, in Jiangling Mansion, a lurker from Yipintang came to Wang Kai's general's mansion in the center of Jiangling City as an envoy of the Great Xia Empire, and the doorman heard that it was the envoy of the Xia Emperor who naturally did not dare to have the slightest neglect, and immediately entered the palace to report to Wang Kaiyu: "Report, report, report to the marshal, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the envoy of the Great Xia Empire, and he has come to ask to see the marshal." ” "The envoy of the Great Xia Empire, what is he doing at this time" Wang Kai frowned and said: "Who sent the envoy, is it the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo or the crown prince Li Bingchang" "Yu Dashuai, it was sent by Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo."
Someone came to report to Wang Kaiyu.
Wang Kai frowned again and said, "Someone came to let the Xia envoy in, Ben Shuai wants to see what kind of holy decree the Xia Emperor gave us." ” Soon Wang Kai looked at the envoy of the Xia army, who thought that he was a guard general, and it stands to reason that the envoy of the envoy to another country should hold a talisman to show that he is an envoy, but due to the rush of time, the envoy of the Great Xia Empire did not prepare the talisman, only the edict, the python robe, the seal letter and the tiger talisman.
After meeting the envoy of the Xia army, Wang Kai asked very politely: "I don't know what the envoy of Xia came here today."
The envoy immediately said: "On the military order of His Majesty the Emperor, I have come to issue the decree; His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia, Shengyu, the commander of the Jianghan Army, Wang Kai, Kuang Fu Fang, won the love of the people of Jinghu, and hereby enshrined Wang Kai as the king of Jinghu, and gave the king robe, the king seal, and the tiger talisman each After the edict of the Great Xia envoy was read, Wang Kai was in a daze, Wang Kai never thought that the Great Xia envoy would come to such a move, it stands to reason that Wang Kai should not accept this edict, after all, Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo is not Wang Kai's master, but Wang Kai's heart is very connected, this is the edict of the king, and it has a fief, and can dominate one side, with such an edict, Wang Kai and his descendants can justifiably take charge of the entire Jinghu two roads.
Wang Kai was stunned for a long time, and the envoy of Great Xia reminded Wang Kai and said, "Lord Wang, it's time for you to accept the order." ” Only then did Wang Kai react and said: "Your Excellency the envoy is not in a hurry, Your Excellency is staying here now, and we are talking about this matter slowly." ” Although Wang Kai said so, but he took over the holy decree, the royal robe, the king seal and the tiger talisman, the person who can serve as the envoy of Daxia is definitely not stupid, as soon as he looks at Wang Kai's performance of the envoy of Daxia, he knows Wang Kai's temptation, after all, this is not a trivial matter, so after the incident, Wang Kai immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, Wang Kai wants to be the king first of all to get the support of these generals, although these people are Wang Kai single-handed, but he does not dare to guarantee, Among them, there were no people sent by Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Kai sat on the handsome chair and said to everyone: "Brothers, you have been with me Wang Kai for more than 20 years.
Now Ben Shuai has encountered some difficulties, I hope you brothers can help."
"Dashuai, if there is anything you command, the brothers will definitely go to the soup and do not give up."
A Song soldier hurriedly stood up to show his loyalty.
Wang Kai smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, today Ben Shuai received a holy decree, a holy decree from the Great Xia Imperial Capital. ” Wang Kai's words said this, and the following generals began to discuss: "How come this is still a holy decree from the Great Xia Imperial Capital" "That's right, this Xia Kingdom is our mortal enemy."
"Did you make us surrender, or did you come to negotiate peace with us?"
"Fool, let's surrender or negotiate peace, do we need to read the holy decree?"
"Brothers, don't be talented."
Wang Kai said to everyone: "Emperor Xia sent a letter of edict to Ben Shuai, along with tiger talismans, seal letters, and python robes; This is obviously Xia Jun's counter-plan, that is, let's kill each other, Ben Shuai now wants to ask everyone what to do with this envoy of the Xia Kingdom and this edict of the king."
"Yes, this is a difficult problem" A general whispered: "If the marshal receives the holy decree, it means that he has surrendered to the Great Xia Empire, but if he does not accept this holy decree, it will completely offend the Xia Emperor, so I am afraid that the Xia army will attack Xiangyang with all its might, and now our defense line in Xiangyang is not so stable."
"Yes, that's reasonable."
"Marshal, I have an idea at the end."
A Song general stood up and said: "Yu Dashuai, the last general thinks that the envoy to treat the Xia Emperor should be able to drag it out, and now the Xia army is just doing nothing outside Xiangyang, and its purpose is to sit back and wait for us to mess up, the last general means, it is better to report to His Majesty the Emperor through this matter, and let His Majesty canonize the Dashuai as the fake King of Jinghu, the purpose of which is to block the excuse for the Xia army to attack."
Jiangning Mansion, in the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty.
The entire imperial study was very chaotic, and after Li Gang came in, he saluted Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty and said, "Weichen Li Gang greets His Majesty the Emperor" Zhao Mao said very unhappily: "Aiqing, get up, what happened recently, Aiqing should have heard about it."
"Your Majesty, Wechen have heard about it."
Li Gang said to Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty: "Your Majesty, this time it is the responsibility of Weichen, and Weichen is willing to accept the punishment." ” "This time it's free."
Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty said to Li Gang: "I just received an excerpt from Wang Kai, Wang Kai asked me to canonize him as the fake king of Jinghu, so that he can better manage the affairs of Jinghu and the two roads, and in addition, it is also to block the excuse for the Xia army to attack Xiangyang, how do you think I should reply to Li Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, it is obvious that Wang Kai has already had the heart of the king, even if His Majesty does not entitle Wang Kai, Wang Kai will sooner or later establish himself as the king, rather than so Your Majesty should generously canonize Wang Kai as the real King of Jinghu, to stabilize Wang Kai, let him continue to resist the attack of the Xia army, and wait for His Majesty to clean him up after moving to the new capital":
