Li Qianshun, the young leader of the Xixia Kingdom, was staying deep in the palace at the moment, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" smuggled from the Song Dynasty and studying it carefully.
Starting from his grandfather Li Liangzha to himself, the three generations of ancestors and grandsons all loved and respected Chinese studies.
Moreover, they also attach great importance to the promotion and reuse of Han officials, and also attach great importance to those Han scholars who defected to Xixia.
Moreover, these Han books are full of the wisdom of life, and naturally the wisdom of those who govern the people and even the king are indispensable.
Just when he was looking at it with great interest and in high spirits, a waiter walked over quickly and bowed respectfully to Li Qianshun.
"Your Majesty, Jing Xun, the Vice Minister of Zhongshu, has something important to ask to see Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Qianshun had no choice but to put his beloved "Spring and Autumn" on the table.
"Please come quickly."
When he was not very young, Li Qianshun saw Han Chen Jingxun, who was over seventy years old, with beard and hair as snowy, but still energetic, walking into the hall and bowing devoutly to him.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Li Qianshun stepped forward and helped this veteran of three dynasties, who had been in office for fifty years, up, speaking with sincere concern.
"Old Ai Qing Jing, please get up quickly. Lao Ai Qing is old and physically inconvenient. If something happens, you can just write to me. Why do you need to come in person?"
"Old Sir, thank you for your concern. However, there is an urgent matter and I have to come. Your Majesty, please take a look at this..."
Jing Xun reached into his sleeve, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to Li Qianshun in front of him.
"Wanted notice? This..."
Li Qianshun glanced at the four eye-catching characters with a confused look on his face, and then read on patiently at Na Jing Xun's signal.
Soon I understood what was going on. It was actually a wanted notice from the Song Dynasty for a commoner named Wang Mingfu.
The point is, this person does not care whether he lives or lives, and the price of the reward is extremely high.
"Old Aiqing, what kind of person is this? Why did this notice actually appear in Lao Aiqing's hand?"
"Your Majesty, not only this notice, but also the criminal wanted on this notice is currently in the guest room of the old minister's residence."
Faced with His Majesty's face full of shock and doubts, Jing Xun informed the young Xixia king about the general situation of Wang Fu, the wanted criminal in the Song Dynasty.
This Wang Fu was originally from Kaifeng, but he had blond hair and golden eyes, and his appearance was very different from ordinary people.
However, this son was very knowledgeable and talented. During the imperial examination, he should have been ranked first.
But because the examiner felt that his appearance and hair color were very different from those of Song Dynasty people, he was placed in the second class because he was a Jinshi.
But a capable person is capable. After he became an official, he was quickly recommended by his superiors because of his extraordinary talents and joined the Secretary's Cabinet.
Who would have expected that just a few months ago, a jealous and jealous Shangguan, Secretary Cheng Cai Liulang, came.
This man was the beloved son of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. When he saw that Wang Fu had made great achievements, he stole his achievements as his own.
"The boy was not angry, so he argued with Cai Liulang face to face. As a result, he angered Cai Liulang."
"Your Majesty, you must also know that Cai Jingquan, the leader of the Song Dynasty, has all the power in the government and the public, covering the sky with one hand."
"Then Wang Fu has no power and power. All he has is talent and ability. But when he annoyed Cai Laoliu, the other party made up an excuse and dismissed him from office."
"But Wang Fu didn't mean anything and wanted to seek justice..."
Naturally, the result was that the ruthless Cai Laoliu fabricated the charges in order to get rid of him.
Fortunately, Wang Fu's character and talent were so well-received that some officials who didn't want him to die in vain quietly informed him.
He was able to escape safely from Bianliang, Tokyo, but the Cai family who covered the sky with one hand in the Song Dynasty wanted to kill him.
When a nationwide manhunt began, Wang Fu left his hometown in grief and anger, and decided to come here to seek refuge in Xixia.
I just happened to find out that Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, was thirsty for talents, so he went to great lengths to find his mansion.
As someone who once committed a major crime in the Song Dynasty and was about to be killed, and later escaped to Xixia, Jing Xun, who had made a fortune as an officer along the way, naturally sympathized with his plight.
Let him stay in his house temporarily while sending people to find out the authenticity of the news.
"The people sent by the old minister can see the wanted notice in the Song Dynasty city on the border with Daxia."
"I also asked the merchants who had just returned, as well as the Han merchants, and I can confirm that Wang Fu is indeed wanted by the entire Song Dynasty."
"The veteran had many conversations with him and felt that this man was extremely intelligent, and because of his experiences and encounters, the veteran couldn't help but think of his own past experiences."
"Fortunately, what I gained in the summer was favored by the Lord Ming, so I was able to show my talents and serve the imperial court..."
After hearing Jing Xun's words, Li Qianshun, whose heart was already pounding, first comforted Jing Xun, who was a little excited as he recalled the past.
Then he asked about the whereabouts of this talented man who was wanted by the Song Dynasty.
#####
Standing outside the Xixia Palace, anxious and uneasy Wang Fu saw a middle-aged man wearing a helmet and armor walking out of the palace gate, and his eyes immediately fell on him.
"Are you Wang Fu, a Confucian scholar from the Song Dynasty?"
"Exactly, I wonder what the general has ordered..."
"Let's go, follow me, His Majesty orders you to enter the palace."
As soon as he said this, Wang Fu suddenly became energetic and quickly thanked the Xixia general who came to lead the way, and then walked quickly towards the depths of the palace.
Along the way, Wang Fu thought over and over again how he should behave after meeting the leader of the Xixia Kingdom today.
Soon, the general stood in front of a large hall and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Wang Fu, a Confucian scholar from the Song Dynasty, has brought you here."
"Announce him to come in..." A clear young voice came from the hall.
Wang Fu exhaled and buried his head. After entering the palace, he threw himself directly at the young man standing next to Minister Jing Xunjing.
"Wang Fu, the unjust abandoned citizen of the Song Dynasty, begged the benevolent and righteous monarch of Daxia to take him in..."
With just one word, Li Qianshun's eyes lit up. What he said really made people feel deeply happy.
I am afraid that only a benevolent and righteous hero like me would dare to take in those who were wronged and wronged in the Song Dynasty and use them for their own use.
"Master Wang, please get up quickly and let me have a good look at it."
Wang Fu stood up slowly. His yellow hair, yellow eyebrows, and yellow eyes were completely different from those of Han people. There was really no trace of Han people at all.
But his fluent and silky Song Dynasty Mandarin cannot be faked.
Moreover, his voice was loud and sonorous, and his eyes were bright. Although he was different from the Han people, Li Qianshun had to secretly praise his good looks.
"Please give me a seat. I have been reading the Spring and Autumn Annals recently and I have some doubts. I wonder if Confucian Wang can help me solve them?"
"Your Majesty, please feel free to ask..." Wang Fu smiled confidently, not showing off at all.
