Qiming 1158

Chapter 584
Speaking of Ren Dejing, he also felt that Li Renxiao was more than generous, but his skills and courage were seriously lacking.

After being the emperor for so many years, he didn't cultivate his own cronies, nor did he have the political skills to pull one faction against another.

When he was young, Li Chage, an important official of the royal family, had military power, while Li Renxiao had no military power.

So Ren Dejing entered the central Xixia step by step by courting Richard brother as his political capital and held great power.

Brother Richard finally died, Li Renxiao was just about to take a breath, Ren Dejing came from behind, took over the power of Brother Richard, and went a step further, mastered the actual power, and gradually reduced the power in Li Renxiao's hands robbed the past.

During the period, it was not that there were no party officials who tried to fight against Ren Dejing and protect Li Renxiao's power, and Li Renxiao also deliberately condoned.

But when Ren Dejing showed his military might a little to Li Renxiao, Li Renxiao immediately softened.

He dismissed the courtier who tried to speak for him in exchange for Ren Dejing's understanding, but this only made those who were willing to help him no longer dare to help him, for fear of being sold by him.

He tolerated Ren Dejing everywhere, showed grace everywhere, and was promoted to the level of the king of Chu. He did not make any changes to Ren Dejing, but only made him see through Li Renxiao's cowardly and fearful nature even more.

So Ren Dejing completely emptied Li Renxiao, leaving Li Renxiao with only a trivial little claim of power and diplomatic power.

The prefect of the palace, Ren Decong, was the younger brother of Ren Dejing and was in charge of the imperial guards.

Ren Degong, the governor of the capital Xingqing Prefecture, is also his younger brother and controls the administrative and military power of the entire Xingqing Prefecture.

Ren Deren, the younger brother of the clan, was the envoy of Xuanhui in the Southern Court, in charge of eunuchs, internal servants and all matters in and out of the palace.

His nephew Ren Chunzhong was the deputy chief of the privy council, and on behalf of Ren Dejing, he controlled the upload and release of the Privy Council, a military institution.

This is only a small part of the specific manifestations of Ren Dejing's cronyism.

The real power positions in the court are all Ren Dejing people, and those who hold the main military power and logistical power are also Ren Dejing people. Ren Dejing is almost equal to the "standing emperor" of Xixia.

What about Lee In Hyo?

In the inner palace, the only thing he could do was to send someone to ask Su Yonglin for help when the diplomatic envoys arrived in the Central Capital, and ask Su Yonglin to help him clean up Ren Dejing, just like how the Liao Kingdom helped his father Li Ganshun clean up the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang. Same.

Impossible to do so.

Now, even the eunuch serving Li Renxiao is a respectable person, monitoring Li Renxiao's every move around the clock without any blind spots, so that he will never have his own living space, and his life is no easier than that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Ren Dejing treated the country's military and political affairs as the king of Chu respectfully, and Ren Dejing was the first to know about the Liberation Army's elimination of the border Jin army and the border between Guanzhong and Xixia.

When he found out about this, Ren Dejing was handling the daily affairs of the state in Xingqing Mansion, and he received a note from the Restoration Army as soon as he finished handling the delivery of grain to the border areas to support the military exercise.

The Guanzhong Jin Army was defeated by the Restoration Army, and it was about to lose Guanzhong.

The Restoration Army will sweep through Guanzhong and occupy Guanzhong.

The Restoration Army informed Xixia and thanked them for their border exercise. Now the exercise can be over, and there is no need to continue to spend money and food.

Ren Dejing sighed, ordered the previous order to be intercepted, and re-written the order for the border troops to withdraw to the original station, and there was no need to continue to perform martial arts.

The one who escorted the news to him was his younger brother, Ren Degong, the governor of Xingqing. Seeing Ren Dejing's series of actions, Ren Degong was very surprised.

"Brother, has Guanzhong been captured by the Restoration Army?"

Ren Dejing nodded.

"It's not too far away. The Liberation Army sent troops in early June, and in just over a month, Tongguan and Daqingguan have been broken through, sweeping through half of the pass, and both Yan'an and Qingyang houses have been captured. On the contrary, if my expectations are not bad, in another two months, Guanzhong will definitely change hands."

Ren Degong took a deep breath.

"It is said that the uprising of the Liberation Army has only been three years. How can such a strong fighting force come from? How could the Jin Army be able to fight? Why is it like a piece of paper in front of the Liberation Army?"

Ren Dejing was much calmer.

"When Emperor Shenzong, the Western Army of Song State could beat the Xia people to a disastrous defeat and expand their territory. How powerful was the Western Army at that time? Then what? The Western Army was not like paper in front of the Jin people. Is there a difference?"

Ren De respectfully listened to what he said, but he felt it made sense, so he no longer bothered about this matter.

"Brother, now the situation in Guanzhong has changed. It is destined for the Restoration Army to sweep the Central Plains and replace the Jin Kingdom. It is impossible for anything to change. Should we make some preparations?"

Ren Dejing glanced at Ren Degong.

"What the superiors hate most is the following offenders. Although Su Yonglin was born in the rebel army, the more this is the case, the more disgusted the following offenders are."

Ren Degong was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt, "Brother, didn't he accept the gift we gave him before? Such an obvious hint, Su Yonglin couldn't see it?"

"I'm not afraid that he can't see it, but I'm afraid that he can see it, but doesn't say anything. Isn't that equal to a disguised rejection?"

"But didn't he take our stuff?"

"That's a meeting ceremony. The ownership of a country is determined by tens of thousands of livestock?"

Ren Dejing rolled his eyes: "He is the overlord of the Central Plains. Could it be that he would allow the following to do the following because of tens of thousands of livestock? If it was you, would you?"

Ren Degong did not speak.

After a long time, Ren Degong whispered again: "What are you going to do, brother? If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be bad. If we don't have a suitable name, it will be difficult for us to control the government all the time. A man whose heart is for the emperor."

"I know, am I trying to figure out a way?"

Ren Dejing closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, and after a while, he whispered, "As of now, we can only persuade Su Yonglin because we are both Han Chinese, a Han nationality is better than a barbarian. The country should be comfortable, right?
Su Yonglin's uprising, under the banner of "expelling the barbarians and restoring China", it can be seen that he still cares about Chinese orthodoxy. The territory of the Xia Kingdom belongs to Chinese orthodoxy, and now it is controlled by the party members. Su Yonglin's heart may not be happy. , is different. "

Ren Degong thought about it, and felt that what Ren Dejing said made sense.

"Wonderful, paying tribute to Su Yonglin in the name of China may be able to exchange for Su Yonglin's acceptance, so... wait a minute, brother, the momentum of the Restoration Army sweeping through Guanzhong is so violent, will they have any... …”

Ren Dejing understood what Ren Dejing meant.

"I can't say no, if I say no, I don't believe it, but I think that the Restoration Army will probably be just like the Jin country, with more than enough strength, not to mention us, there is the Song country to the south, how powerful was the Jin country back then? Sweeping the world is unstoppable, isn't it still ruled by the river in the end?"

Ren Degong nodded.

"That's what I said, but brother, guard against others is a must. No one knows what Su Yonglin is thinking. We must be prepared."

"It makes sense, what do you want to do?"

"Let's connect the Song Kingdom to the South, the Jin Kingdom is dead, and the Song Kingdom will not understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

"Song Country..."

Ren Dejing was silent for a while, then slowly said, "If it wasn't for the lack of a choice, I wouldn't really want to join forces with Song Guo."

"Brother, although the country of Song is not strong in military strength, it is a big country anyway. If the Liberation Army has such constraints, our safety will be guaranteed. At the same time, if the Liberation Army plots against us, the country of Song will definitely respond, isn't it?"

Ren Dejing's persuasion made Ren Dejing think carefully for a while, and then he came to a reasonable conclusion.

They decided to wait for Guanzhong to be completely pacified, and then organize a caravan to discuss the alliance with the Song country secretly on the grounds of going south to Sichuan to buy Shu brocade from the Song people.

They can hide from the Restoration Army and reach an extraterritorial alliance. Once the Restoration Army strikes at one side, the other side will inevitably send troops to help.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Liberation Army is strong. If Su Yonglin's ambitions are uncontrollable, neither the Western Xia nor the Southern Song Dynasty will be defeated by each other without assistance.

Ren Dejing began to formulate the contents of the treaty with the reliable personnel of the secret organization, and was ready to start action as soon as Guanzhong was settled.

If Su Yonglin just planned to build another Jin Kingdom, of course everything would be fine.

But if Su Yonglin didn't just plan to build another Jin Kingdom, then his preparations were not meaningless.
