Chapter 358 Emperor Xia listens to Zhongliang’s advice; Emperor Song invites rebellion into the urn
"My dear, do you also think that I cannot win the battle to defend the capital?"
The imperial censor Mou Ning Keren said hurriedly: "Wei Chen does not think that the battle to defend the capital cannot be won."
"But now, Wei Chen observes that many local tribesmen in Daxia Kingdom are sitting on the wall and watching, and they have not sent out troops to serve the king."
"If Your Majesty sends the prince to carry out His Majesty's imperial edict, and threatens the lives of the tribesmen in the 'Six Bands in the Royal Garden', tribesmen from all places will definitely send troops to serve the king, and the Song army that invades our territory will be able to defeat it. ah!"
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun nodded with deep understanding.
"My beloved, what you said makes sense. I will ask the prince if he is willing to serve as an envoy to the country!"
"Your Majesty has a clear lesson." Mouning Keren hurriedly admonished: "This matter needs to be done quickly, not too late!"
Li Qianshun nodded, waved his robe sleeves and said:
"I know it, my beloved, you can retire from the court and rest!"
"The humble minister obeys the decree." Mou Ning Ke Ren, before bowing and retreating, finally gave another admonishment:
"Wei Chen has obtained evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by many Han officials in the DPRK. Wei Chen sincerely requests your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of Han officials..."
"Otherwise, if the Song army attacks Xingqing Mansion in our capital city, these Han officials who are in charge of profit may rebel against Xia and surrender to Song Dynasty!"
After Li Qianshun thought briefly, he sighed:
"Before, Ai Qing has repeatedly submitted memorials to talk about this matter. I have considered that why the Han officials are so determined to contribute to our Daxia Kingdom, it is all because of 'fame and wealth'. Therefore, I am lenient!"
"Of course, now that the Song army is approaching, just as Ai Qing has worried, it's time to deal with those corrupt Han officials who usually pursue fame and wealth."
Mouning Keren was overjoyed after hearing Emperor Xia's statement.
"I order Ai Qing to take charge of the investigation and punishment of corrupt Han officials in the DPRK. Ai Qing, please remember not to make things too big, nor to panic the Han officials in the city!"
"I will obey the imperial edict." Mou Ning Keren happily obeyed the edict, bid farewell to Emperor Xia and left the palace.
…
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was sitting in the magnificent hall, and he issued an order to summon King Shu Li Renli to meet the Holy Spirit...
A quarter of an hour later, the twenty-five-year-old Shu King Li Renli entered the palace, kowtowed and said:
"I am kind and courteous, and I bow to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor..."
"My good nephew has a normal body, and I will give you a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Qianshun gently stroked the armrest of the dragon chair and looked deeply at Li Renli's heroic face. He found that Li Renli's appearance was seventy percent similar to his late brother Li Renzhong, King of Pu, and eighty percent similar to his late father Li Jingsi. .
"Alas!" He couldn't help sighing and slowly said:
"I clearly remember that in November last year, I consecrated Xian's nephew's brother Renzhong as King of Pu, and at the same time, I consecrated Xian as King of Shu."
"However, I never expected that a few days ago, I suddenly heard the bad news that my nephew Renzhong led his troops to guard Xijing City. In the battle against the Song army, he bravely resisted the enemy. When the city was defeated, Renzhong would rather die than surrender. He committed suicide on the spot, his blood splattered on the city walls, and he died for the country!"
"Alas! If I lose Wang Renzhong, my humerus will be broken!"
"I miss you very much, I miss you very much, I am very sad about it, I am very sad about it!"
When King Shu Li Renli heard this, he felt sad...
His eyes were red, he clenched his fists, stood up from the stool, knelt on the ground, and said in a firm voice:
"On behalf of my deceased brother, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Brother Weichen, I sacrificed my life for my country! Although I am not talented, I am willing to imitate my brother and swear to protect the territory of our Daxia Kingdom to the death and not let the enemies of Song Dynasty take a step forward!"
"Wei Chen is benevolent and courteous, and I beg Your Majesty to allow me to join the army and go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"I am benevolent and courteous, and I vow to kill all the enemies of the Song Dynasty. I will kill all the enemy troubles for your majesty, and I can also avenge my brother!"
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was very moved. He admired Li Renli, a distant nephew of the clan, who was as courageous and loyal as his father and brother.
However, Li Qianshun was well aware of Li Renli's abilities. Although he was fluent in both Tibetan and Chinese languages, talented and good at singing, he was not good at archery, horseback riding, and had no experience in leading troops in war.
Thinking of this, Li Qianshun had to agree with his previous suggestion that Ning Keren "oppose the trend of emphasizing civility over martial arts throughout the country" and "advocate hunting as a priority, especially military preparation"; The advice is still very reasonable.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
Li Qianshun swore in his heart: If I can withstand the invasion of the Song Emperor's army led by Yujia himself and win the defense battle of Xingqing Mansion in the capital, then I will definitely adopt the advice of Mou Ning Ke Ren!!!
Li Qianshun put away his random thoughts, looked at Li Renli who vowed to join the army and kill the enemy, and said sadly:
"I have lost my good nephew Renzhong. How can I bear to let you, my good nephew Renli, go to the battle again and risk the enemy's arrows and rocks from the Song Dynasty?!"
Li Renli was moved to tears and kowtowed repeatedly...
"Furthermore, I can send many soldiers to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Now, there is no need for you, my nephew Renli, to go out personally."
Li Qianshun declined the request of Li Renli, who was "strong in literature but weak in martial arts", to join the army to kill the enemy, but Li Renli mistakenly believed that Emperor Xia was trying to preserve his family's lineage.
"I have summoned my nephew to come here today. I have a more important task than asking my nephew to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I will entrust him to my nephew!"
Li Renli was confused.
"My dear nephew, Renli, you are my family member, and I will tell you everything I know."
"The commander of my bodyguard army, 'Yuyuan Nei Liu Ban Zhi', his father is the highest officer of the Xishou Baotai Military Division in southern Xinjiang, the Supervisory Military Division. When the Song army first invaded our border in Daxia, Xishou The Baotai Military Division has not sent troops to reinforce the neighboring tribe Zhejianghui; when I sent messengers to recruit and coordinate the troops, King Qin has not sent troops yet."
"Therefore, I want to replace him with someone who can be loyal to the emperor and serve the country as the commander-in-chief of the 'Sixth Squadron in the Imperial Garden'. This candidate is none other than the worthy nephew Renli!"
"I am kind and courteous, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for your consideration..."
Emperor Xia Li Qianshun's frown relaxed slightly, and his deep gaze fell on King Shu Li Renli.
"Ren Li Xian Nephew, long before the Song army attacked Xijing, I sent dozens of envoys on fast horses to various military divisions and local tribal armies in accordance with my imperial edict to mobilize troops to serve the king. I hope they can recite
In response to the emperor's great kindness, he led his troops to fight together to fight against the Song army during the national calamity."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "However, the result makes me feel chilling!"
"Most of the tribal armies actually used the excuse that it would take some time to mobilize a large army for the expedition, but they have not sent any soldiers to serve the king. I am really disappointed! I have vigorously promoted Han Confucianism in the country to teach them how to be loyal to the king.
Serving the country is like playing the piano to an ox!"
When Li Renli heard the holy words, veins popped up on his forehead and his fists clenched. He thought of his brother Li Renzhong, King of Pu, who bravely resisted the enemy and died to serve the country, and his heart burned with anger.
"Your Majesty, our country, Great Xia, is now in the critical stage of life and death. How can we tolerate such rebellious ministers who do not obey the emperor's orders?"
"My brother, a humble minister, fought bravely against the enemy, would rather die than surrender, and sacrificed his life for the country. But now, the military commanders of our Daxia Kingdom and the local tribal army leaders all enjoy the great favor of the emperor on weekdays. Now we need them to fight for the country.
, but they stood by and watched. They are really ungrateful, unfaithful and unfilial! They all deserve to be killed to uphold the law of the country!"
"Alas!" Li Qianshun sighed: "But what's wrong, I will not grant the order of the foreign king!"
Li Renli took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may solve our urgent need."
"My dear nephew, come quickly."
"The humble minister obeys the order with courtesy and courtesy. The six squads in the imperial garden are the elite of our imperial city. They are also composed of local tribal army leaders and powerful nephews."
Speaking of this, Li Renli's voice trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"Your Majesty can select the nephews and nephews of the tribal leaders who are sitting on the wall from among the six groups in the imperial garden, and publicly execute them to serve as a warning to others and to demonstrate the imperial power!"
After Li Renli finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.
He secretly raised his eyes and looked at the dragon chair. He saw Emperor Xia Li Qianshun closing his eyes and meditating, holding the armrests on both sides of the dragon chair with both hands, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
…
At this time, Xiping Mansion, the capital of the former Xia Kingdom, was now located at the Yellow River ferry west of Lingzhou City in the Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, was in high spirits.
Within the previous half hour, Zhao Ji sent farewells to the Zhongshi Dao Department, the Zhongshi Central Department, Han Shizhong Department, Yue Fei Department, and Liu Guangshi Department respectively. He watched these four groups of people board the ship in an orderly manner and set sail one after another along the Hebei River.
go……
The Yellow River is rolling and the waves are roaring. Zhao Ji is full of heroic spirit and strong ambition. He is preparing to take King Yun Zhao Kai and Kang King Zhao Gou to board the ship, and follow Wang Zhen and Yao Gu's tribe to lead the expedition in person.
Suddenly, a horse came from the city and reported:
"Report..."
"please!"
"In response to the imperial edict, the Sihu of Xi'an Prefecture joined the army and Ren Dejing led two of his brothers and a clan brother. The four brothers of the Ren family have entered Lingzhou City and want to meet the official."
After Zhao Jiwen heard the report, he knew that his plan to clean up Ren Dejing's plan had already worked.
Ren Dejing, the notorious rebel of the Song Dynasty in history, actually took the initiative to enter the urn I arranged!
