Chapter 51 Prelude to Reform
Under Li Liangzuo's instruction, the case progressed very quickly. Three days later, most of the Hou Party led by Mozang Epang were beheaded and the rest were confiscated and exiled. In this case, more than 1,000 people were beheaded, and thousands of people were implicated. The entire Xixia capital was shrouded in white terror.
The palace, in the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, all the rebels according to the law have been dealt with." Vergoning Ling reported to Li Liangzuohui.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "If such a big thing happens, we must appease the people. I don't want to cause trouble."
"I understand," said Victor Ning Ling.
Li Liangzuo continued to say to the Queen Ning Ling: "I am upset these days, so I will leave the matter in the court to the Emperor's uncle for full handling, and let Zhou Wentai, Gao Huaizheng and others assist the Emperor's uncle."
Wei Gening Ling shirked: "Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate!"
"What's wrong? Are there anyone who has trusted me in addition to the emperor's uncle?" Li Liangzuo said instead.
"Yes, I am obeying the sage order." Vergung Ning Ling knelt down to Li Liangzuo and said.
After Vergil Ning Ling left, Li Liangzuo returned to his bedroom. At this time, Liang Luoyao was lying on Li Liangzuo's dragon bed. Although Liang Luoyao had escaped from the danger period, she was still unconscious and still had no definite answer. Several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose the diagnosis.
"It's been so long, why has Concubine Liang not woke up yet?" Li Liangzuo called several imperial doctors to the outside world and asked.
The imperial doctor replied: "Report to Your Majesty, although Concubine Liang is out of danger, her spirit has been severely damaged. If she is forced to awaken, it may cause great harm to the Empress's body."
"When will Concubine Liang wake up?" Li Liangzuo continued to ask.
The imperial doctor dared not hide it at all and said, "This humble minister is not sure."
Li Liangzuo said with a sad face: "What you mean is that Concubine Liang may never wake up, and she may become a vegetable, right?"
"Vegetative? How dare you ask Your Majesty what is a vegetative person?" the imperial physician asked Li Liangzuo.
Only then did Li Liangzuo realize that he had let go of the words, so he explained to the imperial doctor: "Vegetatives are everyone who has no consciousness and will never wake up, but they are still alive like flowers, plants and trees."
"Your Majesty describes it very appropriately. The symptoms of Concubine Liang are indeed very similar to what His Majesty said." The imperial physician said to Li Liangzuo.
"What's going on with the queen?" Li Liangzuo continued to ask the imperial doctor.
"The Queen's condition has stabilized and she will be able to wake up today, but the Queen still needs to rest and cannot be stimulated."
"I understand. You should take good care of Concubine Liang and save Concubine Liang back to me no matter what."
When Li Liangzuo came to the queen's bedroom, Wuzang Feixue had woken up, but she was still in a state of exhaustion. She did not answer Li Liangzuo's questions, but just looked at the roof with dull eyes. Li Liangzuo knew that this incident had a great blow to Wuzang Feixue, so he left after instructing the female official to take good care of the queen.
The later party was uprooted. For Li Liangzuo, the obstacles that hindered himself from taking power were gone. Li Liangzuo could carry out all-round reforms to Xixia according to his own ideas, and the results of the reform will directly affect the future development of Xixia.
Of course, although the party was destroyed and Li Liangzuo's biggest stumbling block in the reform has been removed, the new reform will still encounter a lot of resistance, because no matter what era the reform is, it will always touch the interests of some people, and these people will become new resistance in the reform.

After the removal of Mozang Epang, Li Liangzuo handed over the entire Western Xia power to the hands of Wei Gening Ling. At this time, Wei Gening Ling could be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people; although the power was in control, Wei Gening Ling did not feel happy at all, because the position where Wei Gening Ling was sitting now was like a volcano, and it might be possible to erupt when it would erupt.
"Prince, General Li is here." The housekeeper said to Vergone Ningling after coming in.
Vergil Ning Ling said happily: "Please invite General Li in."
"Last time, Li Yanzong bowed to the prince." Li Yanzong saluted after coming in.
Ning Ling, a gentleman, said to Li Yanzong with a smile: "You are so polite. What a prince is not a prince? We are all a family, so we don't have to be so polite!"
Li Yanzong stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince."
"Come and see the tea." After the tea came and the servants retreated, Vergung Ning Ling continued to ask Li Yanzong: "The nephew is a rare talent in my royal family. This time, Your Majesty asked me to take charge of the government for a while. What did your Majesty think that Your Majesty should give me?"
Li Yanzong thought for a while and said, "Since the prince asked, then he will be blunt. If there is something wrong, please forgive me."
"Your nephew has nothing to say."
Li Yanzong continued: "The reason why Your Majesty asked the prince to temporarily take charge of the government is, in the last doubt, that is actually because Your Majesty is testing the prince. Since the Later Party was eradicated by Your Majesty, the royal party in the court has dominated the royal party, and as the leader of the royal party, the prince is naturally the most feared by His Majesty. Your Majesty asked the prince to temporarily take charge of the government affairs, which can stabilize the remaining nobles of the Party and Xiang, and see if the prince uses his power to slap his trustees in the court..."
Wei Ge Ning Ling agreed with Li Yanzong's analysis very much, so Wei Ge Ning Ling continued to ask Li Yanzong: "What do you think Your Majesty will do next?"
Li Yanzong thought for a while and said, "While your Majesty promoted the prince, he also promoted a large number of Han ministers led by Zhou Wentai. Finally, he guessed that Your Majesty was very dissatisfied with the current nobles of Dangxiang. This can be seen when Your Majesty dealt with the Hou Party. Many of the Hou Party led by Mozang Epang were punished without death at all, and many people who had some contact with Mozang Epang were sentenced to severe punishment and were exiled;
The reason why Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the Dangxiang nobles is that since the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, these Dangxiang nobles have always occupied the power of the central and local governments of the court, and have seriously exploited the people at the bottom, leading to the poverty of the entire Western Xia;
Your Majesty suppressed the nobles of Dangxiang to value Han officials in order to prepare for future reforms; now Your Majesty has a high prestige in the army, and the reform is urgent. In the end, the prince should convince the remaining nobles of Dangxiang to support Your Majesty in carrying out reforms…”
Li Yanzong's words obviously moved Wei Gening Ling. After the two finished their conversation, Wei Gening Ling summoned all the remaining Dangxiang nobles to discuss the matter, including Nuoyi Shengdu, Jila Siyi and other military generals who held heavy troops.
After saying that Li Yanzong left the royal palace of Wei Ge Ningling, he quietly came to the palace. Li Liangzuo met Li Yanzong in the imperial study room. After Li Yanzong arrived, Li Liangzuo said: "Those words were said to the emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell the prince everything that has been fully erected." Li Yanzong said.
"Thank you for your hard work in Li Aiqing, go and have a rest!" Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.
After Li Yanzong left, Li Liangzuo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and murmured: "Uncle, I have pointed out Lu to you. I hope you don't force me to attack you..."
