"Thoughts?" Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Zhao Xu's pale little face also showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he spoke, "There are nothing else. I just felt a little emotional when I saw the dignified king of a country falling to such a level."

"The success and defeat of the king are the same in ancient and modern times. If it were the Song Dynasty that was destroyed, we, the royal princes, would probably have a more tragic fate than Li Liangzuo. After all, the people of Xixia would not raise prisoners of war like us." Zhao Yan smiled lightly again. Zhao Xu could feel the sadness of a king who had lost his country from Li Liangzuo, and had achieved his goal.

"Uncle San, I heard that you were the ones who escorted Li Liangzuo back?" Zhao Xu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said to Zhao Yan with a smile, and his little face also regained a little bloody color. After all, the child's mind changes quickly, and the disgust he had just now was quickly thrown behind him.

"Yes, in order to escort Li Liangzuo back, Zhong Yan and I led 5,000 troops. We encountered several dangers and lost hundreds of brothers to bring him to the capital safely. When Li Liangzuo was sitting in a prison cart, the whole capital was sensation. Fortunately, your grandfather asked the imperial guards to open the way early, so that he could enter the capital smoothly." Zhao Yan recalled the situation when he escorted Li Liangzuo to the capital, and was also a little moved for a moment. These things seemed to be the same as yesterday, but who would have thought that it was the old thing more than ten years ago.

"Hehe, I heard that Li Liangzuo's wife, Queen Liang, also died on the road?" Zhao Xu said with a weird smile at this time. He had heard of a rumor about his third uncle and had never had the opportunity to ask. Today, he could take this opportunity to ask clearly.

"That's right, he died on the road, and it was killed by Li Liangzuo with his own hands. Now that I think about it, Li Liangzuo deserves to die alone!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but look at the kitchen of Li Liangzuo's body when he said it the last time. He attached the most importance to the relationship between husband and wife, no matter how hateful the Queen Ran was. But she was Li Liangzuo's wife, and she probably never expected to die at the hands of her husband.

"Hehe, no, right? Why did I hear that Uncle San fell in love with that Queen Ran? But I didn't expect the other party to swear to die?" Zhao Xu laughed in a low voice at this time, and the smile on his little face looked a little dirty no matter how he looked.

"Nonsense, no one knows the relationship between you and your aunts, how could he fall in love with the cruel Queen Liang!" Zhao Yan was so angry that he shouted angrily when he heard this. The rumors that Zhao Xu was talking about were already ten years ago. He had just escorted Li Liangzuo to the capital. He was still frustrated at that time. After Cao Ying's persuasion, he didn't care. However, he didn't expect that more than ten years have passed and the rumors have not disappeared.

"Of course I believe that you won't do such a thing, but it's all about it outside. I can't believe it!" Zhao Xu said with a smile again at this time. Today he had been arranged by Zhao Yan to run around. Now it's finally his third uncle's turn to be embarrassed.

"The Qing Dynasty will be clear, and I am too lazy to explain. However, Li Liangzuo died, this matter is big or small. After the dynasty and the others figured out the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, they will report it to the Queen Mother and the others!" Zhao Yan didn't want to argue about the cause of Queen Liang's death, so he changed the topic now.

When Zhao Xu's little face collapsed when he heard that Li Liangzuo's death had to be handed over to Queen Mother Gao, he said, "It's handed over to the Queen Mother again. When can I really do something?"

Seeing Zhao Xu's expression full of dissatisfaction, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny. He stepped forward and patted his little head and said, "You are only ten years old this year. Even if you leave the government to you, you may not be able to handle it well. So for you, the most important thing is to learn all kinds of knowledge. When you are a few years older, even if you don't want to, I will ask the Queen Mother to arrange some government affairs for you to handle."

When he said this, Zhao Yan's expression was suddenly stunned. After a moment, he suddenly sighed and said, "When your father was a prince, your fourth uncle and I were carefree. We didn't have any serious work all day, but your father had arranged a lot of government affairs by your grandfather. We ran around every day, and even my younger brother often couldn't see him for more than a month, but he enjoyed it. Until now, I can't figure out whether those government affairs are really that attractive?"

When Zhao Yan heard Zhao Xu's face also showed a little sad look on his face, but then hesitantly appeared on his face, as if he had something to say, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Zhao Yan also noticed the expression on Zhao Xu's face at this time and said, "What's wrong? Just say anything if you have to say. Do you have anything to hide from Uncle San?"

Seeing Zhao Yan asking on his own initiative, Zhao Xu finally plucked up the courage. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Uncle San, why did you leave the capital when his father just started reform? If you could stay to assist his father at that time, maybe the reform would not have been what he did later?"

When Zhao Yan heard that Zhao Xu was asking this question at a young age, he felt a little nervous. Although Zhao Xu didn't say it clearly, he actually blamed Zhao Yan. After all, although he was close to Zhao Yan, he had a deeper relationship with his father, so he was always worried about the failure of Zhao Xu's reform. What made Zhao Yan even more angry was that at Zhao Xu's age, he probably couldn't think of these things. In other words, his words were probably soured by someone behind the scenes.

Thinking of someone behind the scenes, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he thought about it for a moment before saying to Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, the reform was very complicated at the time, and it was not something that could be clearly stated in just a few words. However, the reason why I left the capital was not only because of the disagreement with your father due to the reform, there was another reason, that was, I wanted to develop the Nanyang area, and your father also supported me very much. Now, looking at the Nanyang area, I can provide a large amount of taxes to the court every year. It is precisely with the support of these taxes that my Song Dynasty can recover in the shortest time after the reform failed."

Zhao Xu, who was young, was indeed a little knot about Zhao Yan's departure from the capital. However, now he heard Zhao Yan bluntly say that he and his father did have differences due to reforms, but because of this difference, Nanyang was developed. This made him feel that Zhao Yan's openness and integrity, and the knot in his heart was suddenly eliminated. After all, although the third uncle and his father had a disagreement, it did not affect the relationship between their brothers. When his father was seriously ill, the first thing he thought of was to summon his third uncle back to Beijing to preside over the political situation. It was also the support of his third uncle that allowed him to ascend the throne.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Xu couldn't help but apologize to Zhao Yan. But at this moment, the Chao suddenly walked over and then stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the cause of Li Liangzuo's death has been found!"

"Oh? What's the cause of death?" Zhao Yan also asked hurriedly when he heard this. He wanted to know whether Li Liangzuo's death was an accident or was there any conspiracy?

"According to the autopsy just now, Li Liangzuo should have died of starvation!" Wang Chao replied immediately.

"What? I died of cold and hunger, and I was still in the kitchen?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but wonder if he had heard this. If he hadn't known the dynasty's character, he would have doubted whether he was fooling him?

"Your Highness, my subordinates may be a bit unbelievable to know this conclusion, but this is indeed a fact. In addition to discovering the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, the coroner just now also found that Li Liangzuo had a disease during his lifetime." Wang Chao said again. At first, he also suspected the coroner's test results, but after listening to the coroner's explanation, he understood what was going on.

"Oh? What disease?" he asked in a hurry.

"Stroke!" Wang Chao looked up and spit out two words, and then explained, "According to the coroner's test, Li Liangzuo suddenly fell ill when he was preparing to cook in the kitchen, and he was paralyzed and lying on the ground. However, this disease did not kill Li Liangzuo. He must have woken up after that, but because he could not move after the illness, he and the old servant were the only ones in the mansion. You have seen the old servant's appearance just now. According to my estimate, it is very likely that the old servant became stupid because of the illness, which forced Li Liangzuo to cook by himself, but he didn't expect that he also suddenly became ill, which ended up lying on the ground and dying of starvation."

After listening to the dynasty's inference, Zhao Yan also showed a meditative expression. Although there were many coincidences in the whole matter, it also fully explained the cause of Li Liangzuo's death. He also believed in the dynasty's ability. Therefore, the cause of Li Liangzuo's death was probably just an accident, just like he inferred. The only thing is that the person who cared for Li Liangzuo only arranged an old servant for him, and he did not often come in to see Li Liangzuo's life and death. If there were more servants, or if someone in the middle came in to see him, this kind of tragedy might not have happened.

But thinking about it, it is not a big mistake for the person who cared for Li Liangzuo. After all, he has been under house arrest for more than ten years. It would be good to be able to send someone to take care of him. Moreover, nothing happened in more than ten years. It is impossible for those who cared for Li Liangzuo to remain alert for more than ten years. What's more, Li Liangzuo was originally a prisoner, and he would be clean after he died, so as not to have any thoughts in the remaining Xixia committing evil.

At this moment, Zhao Yan asked the dynasty to discuss with the people from the Imperial City Office to report the matter. Then he took Zhao Xu away from the Xirong Duke Mansion. However, once Li Liangzuo died, it was estimated that the Xirong Duke Mansion would become history.
