Chapter 554 This Li Renxiao seems a little weak and can be bullied
After a fun feast, everyone was slightly drunk, and Su Yonglin asked them to go back to the inn to rest. After a few days of rest, they could leave for home and bring Su Yonglin's meaning back to Xixia to tell Li Renxiao.

Send troops to the border to station.

You don't have to take the initiative to attack, as long as you send troops to station at the border and make a good appearance, as long as this attitude is achieved, the rest is not important.

Su Yonglin knew that the Xixia Kingdom was difficult to use, and they didn't need them to work hard, so the Guanzhong Jin Army would naturally be eliminated by the Restoration Army.

The envoy Ren Chunzhong and the deputy envoy U Daochong once again praised Su Yonglin's martial arts skills, expressed their sincere admiration to him, and said that they could still fulfill this requirement.

At the end of the banquet, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. Su Yonglin sent someone to send Ren Chunzhong and Wu Daochong back to the inn to rest. He returned to the study, and took out the meeting gift that Ren Chunzhong presented to Su Yonglin on behalf of Li Renxiao as the envoy. gift list.

Well, comparing the two, Ren Dejing's personal gift to Su Yonglin is obviously much richer.

Ren Dejing seemed to know very well that what the Liberation Army needed most was not money, but something tangible, so he gave Su Yonglin [-] sheep, [-] cows, [-] horses, and [-] each of silk and cloth. [-] catties of copper.

In any case, this could be considered lavish, even too lavish.

In comparison, Li Renxiao's meeting ceremony was much simpler, with a little gold and silver, some jewels, jade, and some silk cloth. It was really just a courtesy gift, and it was quite different from the real things that Ren Dejing gave. .

The things that Ren Dejing gave are very real, especially [-] catties of copper, not gold and silver.

Su Yonglin smelled it, the smell here is really interesting.

Gold and silver are not circulating currencies, and can only be used for gifts and bulk goods trade in the upper class. In daily economic life, copper coins are the mainstay. Therefore, copper is more a symbol of money than gold and silver.

Although Su Yonglin has the idea of ​​carrying out currency reform, it is impossible to implement it for a while. Whether it is gold and silver currency or paper money, it can only be realized after the social environment is relatively stable. Before that, it is very easy to mess up. economy.

Giving gold and silver to Su Yonglin, Su Yonglin still has to find a channel for bulk commodity trade to use, but giving copper to Su Yonglin can actually increase his wealth.

And sheep, cows, horses, silk cloth, these things are real, and they are very useful. Whether it is a reward or disaster relief, no matter how bad it is to eat directly, it is also meat.

It's kind of interesting.

Su Yonglin had never been interested in Xixia before, and he didn't know anything about the internal affairs of Xixia. He thought that Xixia was a scene of harmony between the emperor, the ministers, and the sages, but now it seems that there is a contradiction between the imperial power and the prime minister in Xixia.

Is this Ren Dejing a righteous person?
Su Yonglin's doubts were quickly answered.

Because the second night after the banquet, after Su Yonglin invited Ren Chunzhong again and got him drunk, the deputy envoy of the Western Xia Mission, U Daochong, seemed to have found an opportunity and asked to see Su Yonglin alone.

"What do you mean, let Dejing be arrogant and domineering, conspiracy, and even have the idea of ​​coveting the throne of the country?"

Su Yonglin was a little surprised after listening to Wu Daochong's remarks, and said, "He is already the prime minister of the country, how can he still think like this? Is it exaggerated?"

"General Mingjian, Ren Dejing is cunning and cunning, arrogant and domineering, because his daughter is the queen mother and he has made military achievements, his disrespect for the lord of the country is beyond words!"

Wu Dao Chong said with a sad face: "The lord of our country is a simple and virtuous person. For the sake of the empress dowager and Ren Dejing's military achievements, he tolerated him in every possible way, and tried to win over him in many ways, but this only made Ren Dejing take an inch, many times. Being disrespectful to the lord of the country is really abominable! And he still...he still..."

"What about him?"

"He also forced the lord of the country to confer upon him the title of King of Chu! He declared himself a king! He has a different surname!"

Wu Daochong choked up and said, "With such an arrogant act, he can actually propose it in a grand manner. The lord of the country was forced to agree, but his heart was miserable. Who would know? Does the general think this is a normal subject? Anything you can do?"

Su Yonglin felt a bit interesting when these words were spoken out by Yu Dao Chong.

Since Liu Bang beheaded the white horse and made the oath, most of the kings who were named kings with different surnames in various dynasties were dead people, and they belonged to the posthumous posthumous title.

But if you are alive to be crowned king, it is not a good thing. If something happens, you will soon become dead.

Only a few kings with different surnames who lived to the end of their lives could not be regarded as normal existences, which were beyond the rules of the game, and could not be regarded as general cases, and had no reference value.

And among those few people, Su Yonglin didn't remember the name Ren Dejing. In this way, this person should belong to the kind of king who was alive but died later.

Interesting, interesting.

Su Yonglin was very interested, and said calmly: "So, let Jing be arrogant and domineering, and have no intention of being a minister, but you can't do anything about him?"

Wu Daochong said while weeping: "Ren Dejing's daughter is the empress dowager, he is a foreign relative, a member of the royal family, with a stable identity and military merits, and there are not a few supporters in the court. Exclude dissidents and place cronies in important positions.

At present, he not only controls the government affairs of the court, but also controls a considerable number of troops, and even the mobilization of the national army must obey his orders, otherwise it will be unjustifiable, so this person has reached the extreme of power, which is really unsightly! "

Su Yonglin squeezed his chin and nodded slowly, feeling that Ren Dejing was indeed number one.

If you want to be in power, you will be in power to the end, without any sympathy, and fully aware of the hidden dangers that will be brought to you if you do not do things, so decisively, Li Renxiao, who has been an emperor for decades, has been empty.

On the other hand, Li Renxiao, who has been an emperor for decades, seems to be a little weak and deceived in the face of a "mother" and her father who is younger than himself. Political means and political sense of smell are true to pull the crotch.

You can't deal with the powerful minister yourself, so you try to find him for help?
Can you be the emperor for decades like this?
What is the situation in Xixia's political situation?

Su Yonglin didn't quite understand what the political system of Xixia was like.

Just thinking about it, Su Yonglin suddenly noticed an interesting point.

"Ren Dejing, listen to this name, is he Han?"

"Yes, Ren Dejing is a Han Chinese."

Wu Daochong said, "He is not only a Han Chinese, but also a surrendered minister of the Song Kingdom! Back when Daxia invaded Shaanxi and attacked Xi'an Prefecture, Ren Dejing served as the judge of Xi'an Prefecture at that time, and led the troops to surrender to Daxia. Happy, so Ren Dejing was appointed.

If so, that's fine. I never thought that Ren Dejing thought his daughter was beautiful, so he tried every means to send his daughter to the former lord, who was seduced by the beauty and accepted Ren Dejing's daughter.

Later, Ren Dejing bribed the dignitaries in the court to make his daughter the queen. Just one year later, the former ruler passed away, and her daughter became the current queen mother. Ren Dejing also got a lot of benefits because of this. today! "

Su Yonglin was greatly surprised.

"A minister surrendered to the court and became the prime minister? How could there be such a thing..."

"That's not all, after Ren Dejing became a foreign relative, he made several military exploits, and he was called to serve in the DPRK by virtue of his military exploits and the recommendation of the dignitaries in the DPRK. The position, now the government and military orders are all from the Ren family!"

U Dao Chong said sadly: "I also ask the general not to be deceived by Ren Dejing's little flattery. This man is greedy and cunning, and he does all kinds of evil. He bullies the lord of the country and commits the following crimes! His crime should be punished!"

Wu Daochong knelt down to face Su Yonglin, tried his best to put eye drops on Ren De, and asked for Su Yonglin's help.

In his opinion, perhaps a high-ranking ruler like Su Yonglin is the most unbearable to commit this kind of thing.

So he has a high probability of being able to apply eye drops successfully.

Su Yonglin stood up and stepped forward, helping Ordo Chong up.

"Even if I say this, I can't send troops to kill Ren Dejing now, right? You also said that the government, government and military orders are all from the Ren family, so how could such a great power be destroyed so easily? This matter, I should think about it myself, you should not make it public, let alone be known."

Wu Daochong looked at Su Yonglin's serious expression, pursed his lips, and didn't dare to say anything.
