Chapter 224 A business

"Young Master, Heicheng urgently wrote a letter." Li Xiongba did not dare to delay the news from Xixia for a moment, and immediately rushed to the county magistrate's mansion overnight.

"What's so urgent?" Han Zhongwei had never seen Li Xiongba look so anxious.

"The King of Yue of Xixia Li Renyou is dead." Li Xiongba said.

"Oh, when King Yue is dead, then Li An inherits the throne? When I see him in the future, I, the marquis, will be several levels lower than me?" Han Zhongwei smiled and said, Li An is the legitimate son. Since Li Renyou is dead, he deserves to take over the position of King Yue.

"Young Master, let's talk about it before you read the letter." Li Xiongba had already read the secret letter. If Li An had really taken over the seat, he would not have rushed to the county magistrate's mansion so quickly.

"Hey, what's wrong with Li Chunyou? He was only a prince?" Han Zhongwei said in surprise after reading it. It is natural for Li An to be hereditary title, but Li Chunyou may not be used to it and was demoted to him. Don't underestimate this level. The difference between the prince and the prince is very huge. If Li An really becomes the prince, then the commander of the Capture Army will no longer be succeeded by Li An. Perhaps this is the original intention of Li Chunyou's relegation.

"That's right, Li An has sent someone to Heicheng to negotiate with the young master. He heard that the young master returned to Lin'an and wanted to come to my Song Dynasty to find the young master." Li Xiongba didn't know that Li An was so impatient, and wanted to see Han Zhongwei so anxiously.

"You are coming to Dasong to find me? Don't you feel happy about him as a prince?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

Li Ann was really unhappy in being the Prince of Yue. As soon as King Yue died, he was heartbroken, but what made him even more painful was that what he should have been the prince had actually surrendered to become the Prince of Yue. Now he even has the desire to rebel.

However, Li An went to the camp of the Capture Army, but Li Zongshan seemed to be undecided. At this time, Li Renyou had just died, and the Capture Army was in panic. Moreover, Li Zunxu, the son of the King of Qi, had served as deputy commander in the Capture Army for more than half a year. Although he could not cause any storm, he also had his own team. At least Li Zongshan wanted to mobilize the army without knowing it, which was not as convenient as before.

Now Li An almost became the commander of the barely-minded commander. He had not held a position in the Catching Sheng Army. If he could inherit the title of Prince, he might have been the commander of the Catching Sheng Army, but now he is just a prince, and his qualifications are a little less. But the whole Xixia knew about Li Chunyou and Li An, and Li An had probably known it. Only then did Li An realize that in Xixia, he could not find someone who could help him.

Finally, Li An thought about it over and over again. Perhaps only Heicheng, but Hou Han Zhongwei could help him. He immediately sent someone to Heicheng, but he never thought that Han Zhongwei had already returned to Song State. Although the marquis of Xixia returned to Song State without asking for instructions, the court basically ignored the matters of Heicheng. Heicheng is a border barbarian city, so how could it be compared with Lin'an, the world's largest city.

After the funeral of King Yue, Li An asked Li Chunyou for an order, wanting to go to Jiangnan to relax. Li Chunyou didn't want to see Li An jumping up and down in Zhongxing Mansion, so he quickly approved his request.

Before Han Zhongwei decided whether to go back to Xixia to meet Li An, the new Prince of Yue Li An had already arrived in Lin'an. When he heard that Han Zhongwei had arrived in Changhua, he immediately rushed to Changhua without stopping.

This time Li An came to Da Song to reveal his identity. Originally, the Ministry of Rites wanted to send officials to receive Li An, but he only wanted to see Han Zhongwei as soon as possible. In addition to leaving a few followers to deal with it, he went to Changhua with a light car.

"I've seen the prince." Han Zhongwei had received the official documents and led the officials of Changhua to greet him outside the East City Gate. Whether Li An was a prince or a prince, he was still a prince after all. Han Zhongwei was a few levels lower than him, whether he was a Heicheng Kehou or a Changhua County Magistrate.

"Brother Han, you are too polite. Do you need so much courtesy between you and me?" Li An saw that Han Zhongwei was just wearing a county magistrate, but he spoke first, and the magistrate next to him was not angry at all. He was curious, but he didn't ask too much, was the rules of the State of Song changed, and the county magistrate was more important than the magistrate?

Brother Han? Luo Zhongzheng next to him was shocked when he heard this. He received a report from the diary today that the newly appointed Prince Yue of Xixia was coming to the county. He took a shower and changed clothes early in the morning and invited the Han County Magistrate to come to the East City Gate to wait. Han Zhongwei spoke first just now, but he didn't dare to be angry, just for fear of making Li An unhappy. But he never expected that Li An was not angry, but instead came to meet with the brothers of Han County Magistrate.

"I've seen Brother Li." Han Zhongwei didn't be polite to him. Now Li An is like the phoenix with hair falling, not as good as a chicken.

"Haha, that's right, Brother Han, is this..." Li An held Han Zhongwei's hand and smiled.

"This is Lord Luo Zhongzhengluo, the magistrate of this county, and he is Lord Qingshanguan, Boguan." Han Zhongwei introduced.

Since Li An disclosed his identity, he had to let Changhua Yamen meet him. By the time Han Zhongwei and Li An could be alone, it was time to get off.

"Brother Li, this time I came to Changhua not just to meet me, right?" Han Zhongwei didn't say much nonsense. When it was still during the day, Li An was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Of course, Brother Han, you have to think of a solution for you this time. I really can't swallow this." Li Ann sighed. He went through hard work to come to Song State just to ask Han Zhongwei for an idea. Now in Xixia, he, the prince, is not as good as Han Zhongwei, the black city.

"Brother Li wants to get the title of the old prince, right?" Han Zhongwei asked with a smile. For the Jin and Mongolia, he temporarily supported the Jin Dynasty to deal with Mongolia together, but for the Xixia, Han Zhongwei had no specific countermeasures yet. But one thing is that if the Xixia was too peaceful and comfortable, it would not be a good thing for the Song Dynasty. If it was turbulent, hehe, Han Zhongwei would be happy to see it.

"Of course, my father and ancestors are all princes, why did they become princes when they come to me? From now on, when they come to my son, will they not even be able to do it?" Li An said angrily.

"The Capture of Shengjun is like a private soldier in your Zhao Prince's Mansion. As long as you control the Capture of Shengjun, what else can Li Chunyou do to you?" Han Zhongwei asked, Li Renyou was the commander of the Capture of Shengjun during his lifetime. The Capture of Shengjun was run by him for more than ten years, and he would have been unable to insert needles and water. If Li Chunyou had not inserted Li Zunxu into the Capture of Shengjun more than half a year ago, I'm afraid Li An would not have had so many troubles now.

"Oh, as soon as my father passed away, the commander of the Capture Army was unstable. I, the Prince of Yue, couldn't speak as much as possible." Li An shook his head and said with a wry smile. The tea was cold when people left, and the world was cold. Now he could finally understand it.

"I have no power in my hands, I'm upset. Brother Li, you are not in power. You are the one who takes control of the Capture Army as soon as possible. Now if you don't manage those deputy governors or the Emperor of Xixia, who dares not look at your expression?" Han Zhongwei chuckled.

"It's really as Brother Han said, if you have a chess game, you will lose all the game." Li An was already very dissatisfied with Li Chunyou.

"Brother Li, if I can help you get power, how will you thank me?" Han Zhongwei was moved by Li An and went to him.

"Oh, if Brother Han can give me power, I will help Brother Han become the prince of my Daxia Kingdom," Li An said confidently.

"I don't care much about official positions." Han Zhongwei shook his giggle.

"Brother Han doesn't have power, that's money. As long as you can help me, I, Daxia's treasury, can be used by you." Li An had seen Han Zhongwei's methods, and he seemed to have never done anything unsure.

"No, Brother Li, I can't spend all my money in three lifetimes now. I don't want officials or money. What I want is territory." Han Zhongwei said, with power in his gun, no soldiers in his hands, nothing is useful, and if you want soldiers, you have to have territory, and you have to be completely in charge of the territory.

"Territory? Brother Han is dissatisfied with the Heicheng, who is just a little bit like a little bit. It doesn't matter. As long as you can help me get things done, so what if you give you half of the country?" Li An slapped the table. Anyway, he is almost driven out of Daxia. As long as he can control the absolute power of Daxia, so what if he gives Han Zhongwei half of the country?

"Half of the country? You dare not ask for it, but you dare not ask for it." Han Zhongwei laughed. Now Li An has no power or power, and can be issued blank checks at will, but such a check is so big that even Han Zhongwei can't believe it.

"Since Brother Han doesn't want so much, you can take it at that time." Li An said disrespectfully.

"Stop, Brother Li, I am never too ambitious. I just said it casually. How can I take the country of Daxia be the only one, unless you are the emperor." Han Zhongwei shook his hand and shared the spoils here before he even robbed. This is not something Han Zhongwei could do.

"Emperor?" Li An was shocked. Yes, he said he could give Han Zhongwei half of the country. Not to mention that he is just a prince now, even the prince and even the emperor cannot say it casually. Moreover, such a thing, even if it is the emperor's words, is impossible to count. It must be agreed upon by the ministers and generals in the court, otherwise it will be a war.

"Brother Li, we may have drunk too much today and said a lot of alcohol. You should rest first and get together tomorrow." Although Han Zhongwei was interested in the territory of Xixia, even if he really took the territory, he had to keep it and set it flat. For example, there were not many in Heicheng, and the three Dangxiang tribes below were still obedient, but if he had thirty or even three hundred small tribes under him, would he be able to set it flat by then?

Han Zhongwei ignored Li An's attempt to keep him and left resolutely. He knew that Li An must be hot-headed by his words now, but the more he did this, the less he could make any promises to him. As long as Li An is anxious, his own interests can be maximized. Now Li An comes to ask for help, but in fact, it is like the two of them doing a business together, of course they have to strive to maximize their interests, and at the same time, the interests must be feasible. For example, half of the country that Li An casually said just now basically belongs to the flowers in the water, the moon in the mirror, and the fantasy.

Li An thought that what he said just now had annoyed Han Zhongwei. Now he has a high courtesy in the Song Dynasty. If he were in Lin'an, he would probably have come to pay his respects to him in person. But when he arrived in Changhua, the small county magistrate himself had no way to do anything to him.

Thinking of Han Zhongwei's identity in the Song Dynasty, Li An shook his head with a wry smile. He could not believe that a person who was in Daxia would return to the Song Dynasty to be an insignificant county lieutenant. Moreover, looking at Han Zhongwei's appearance, he was still doing a good job. I really don't know what he thought.

As soon as Han Zhongwei left, his room immediately became quiet. Li An lay on the bed, thinking about how to get Han Zhongwei to help him sincerely. Now that he has been demoted to the prince, it is almost impossible to change his situation in a short period of time without using external forces. Before his father passed away, the Yue Palace was indescribable, but once the old Yue King left, Li An realized that with his strength, he could not support the Yue Palace.

Thinking of the expression Li Chunyou gave him, Li An is still furious. Why did he demote himself to Prince? Why did other princes in Zhongxing Prefecture and generals in the army not stand up for him? Is it really a waste of people?

It was not until dawn that Li An gradually felt sleepy. He thought for a night and became more certain that in Daxia, except Han Zhongwei, he could not find anyone to help him for a while. Han Zhongwei wanted to help him, so he wouldn't want to send himself to the throne directly, right?

Li An had a dream. He dreamed that he became the latest master of the Great Xia Kingdom, and all his subjects surrendered to his feet, including the current emperor Li Chunyou. A hazy figure stood beside him, very much like Han Zhongwei. He joined hands with him and ruled Daxia together.

This dream made Li An smile while sleeping. He slept soundly and didn't wake up until noon. After washing up, he wanted to find Han Zhongwei, but others told him that Han County Wei was not in the county town at this time and had something to do when he left the city. As for when he would come back, I don't know yet. The County Wei was the master of Changhua, and no one dared to ask about his whereabouts.

For three consecutive days, Li An could not see Han Zhongwei's shadow. Li An became more and more impatient. He was thinking again and again why Han Zhongwei refused to meet him? Is the sincerity he showed was not enough? Thinking of sincerity, Li An was shocked. It seemed that he did not have any sincerity. This time he came to Song State without any help. After seeing Han Zhongwei, he only talked on paper, but had no substantial expression.

Is this the reason why Han Zhongwei hides from him?

In fact, Li An really wronged Han Zhongwei. This time, Li An came to him on his own initiative, and Han Zhongwei felt that it was an opportunity. After he settled Li An, he returned to Lin'an early the next morning and found Han Luzhou and Xin Qiji to discuss. Now, there are only two of them who can discuss around Han Zhongwei, especially Xin Qiji. In some places, Han Zhongwei wants to listen to his suggestions.

"Wei'er, do you think this Li An can succeed?" Han Tuozhou pondered after hearing Han Zhongwei's introduction to Li Renyou and his son.

"Yes, I think this is an opportunity, not only ours, but also the Song Dynasty." Han Zhongwei said. If Li An can really be pushed to the throne of the emperor, the next benefits will be endless.

"Does Brother Han want to help Li An get back the position of prince or..." Xin Qiji didn't feel much disgusted with Xixia, but Xixia also took a lot of land from the Han people during the previous dynasty, especially Xiping and Xiazhou areas, where it was a very good horse-producing area. If the Song Dynasty could take it back, or even control those places in its own hands, the Song Dynasty would never be short of war horses in the future.

"Just drive down the current emperor Li Chunyou and help him to the throne." Han Zhongwei said confidently, as if this matter was as simple as waving his hand.

"Wei'er, changing dynasty is not that easy. If it is not good, it will cause death." Han Luzhou did not expect Han Zhongwei to say such a rebellious word as pulling the emperor off the horse, and he said it casually just like he usually chatted. Han Zhongwei looked calm, but he was shocked.

"Li An and Li Chunyou are both grandsons of Chongzong. If they are properly operated, they will not be considered usurping the throne. Xixia does not value the emperor as much as our dynasty. To put it bluntly, their emperor is like the leader of the tribes in Xixia, and the power below is still controlled by the leaders of various tribes." Xin Qiji also occasionally heard about the situation in Xixia.

"Father, Brother Xin, now we are not considering whether we can support Li An to the throne, but what should we do to get the greatest benefit after supporting him to the throne. My opinion is that Xixia can be a little unrest, but not a big chaos. Moreover, the Song Dynasty will have a great impact on Xixia in the future. Even the prime minister of Xixia must be our people, or at least we recognize." Han Zhongwei said that Han Zhongwei has not considered whether Li An to the throne of the emperor, but he believes that as long as he goes to Zhongxing Prefecture to command, there will be no problem. What we need to solve now is how to get what should belong to him after cooperating with Li An.

"You mean that Li An agrees to give up the Prime Minister of Xixia?" Han Tuzhou knew that his son was resourceful, and it seemed that he had already made plans for how to seize Li An's treasure.

"Last night he promised to give me half of the country in the future, but I didn't dare to ask for it unless I had 100,000 elite soldiers." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.

"Half of the country" Han Tuozhou and Xin Qiji were shocked. They looked like Li An was extraordinary. In fact, he probably had no way out, otherwise he would not have taken such a big cake to seduce Han Zhongwei.

"Yes, if I have 100,000 elite soldiers, not to mention half of the country, it would be a problem to take down all Xixia." In Han Zhongwei's heart, Xixia must eventually return to the whole world, but he had not thought it through before or after defeating Mongolia.

"If you don't have elite soldiers, you can train elite soldiers yourself. Brother Han, you should go to Xixia now and control as much as possible in their prefecture. If there is a shortage of soldiers, there will be no problem for my Lin'an Prefecture to send you 10,000 soldiers." Xin Qiji never thought that a few people could decide the destruction of a country. But judging from Han Zhongwei's confidence, he felt that this was not like a dream.
