Chapter 616 Su Yonglin decides to help Li Renxiao
Set things right?

Ren Dejing couldn't help but want to showdown with Li Renxiao?
This is not a good thing.

Su Yonglin has just established a country here, and there are still so many things to deal with. He can't spare the energy to deal with Xixia's affairs for a while. From his point of view, he really hopes that Xixia will maintain the current surface stability.

"Set things right?"

Su Yonglin raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Degong: "You mean to punish Li Renxiao?"

"If Your Majesty wishes, of course you can. If Your Majesty wishes to go further, we can also help His Majesty to oust the current lord and replace the lord who is more loyal to His Majesty and the Ming Kingdom."

Ren Degong tried to see the poor, revealing the ultimate idea of ​​the Ren Group.

Guys, this is no longer the idea of ​​dividing the country, this is naked to replace it.

Su Yonglin thought for a moment and felt that this was absolutely impossible.

Ren Dejing's group is ambitious and has extraordinary abilities. If he controls Xixia, he will definitely be able to integrate Xixia's military and politics and strengthen Xixia's national strength. This is not in Su Yonglin's interests.

So he decided early on that he needed to help the weak Li Renxiao in this matter, not the ambitious Ren Group.

Li Renxiao is old and weak. Of course he can make some achievements in the administration, but it is difficult to expect him to make achievements in the military, at least from Su Yonglin's point of view.

A Xixia without a strong military is very suitable for Su Yonglin's idea.

Having Li Renxiao in power can stabilize the political situation in Xixia, so that Xixia will not fall into civil strife, and will not consume so much vitality that Su Yonglin will invest a lot of money to restore production in the Xixia area after annexing Xixia.

Obtaining a relatively stable Xixia without large-scale social and economic damage is also of great benefit to Su Yonglin's follow-up plan to conquer the Western Regions and conquer the Western Liaoning.

And Su Yonglin also considered that if they didn't agree to Ren Dejing and others, they would definitely be at a loss, but then they would definitely seek help from the Southern Song Dynasty.

What choice will the Southern Song Dynasty make?
He is still unknown.

So after serious thinking, Su Yonglin decided to entangle with him for a while, delay for a while, hit Ren Dejing, and observe how Ren Dejing would respond.

At the same time, he decided to start promoting the infiltration of Xixia and the stationing of personnel, get in direct contact with Li Renxiao, and make preparations for the next subversion of the Ren family.

So Su Yonglin spoke up.

"Although Li Renxiao has acted arrogantly, he is still respectful to me and the Ming Kingdom. A little mistake will not lead to the removal of his position as the lord of the country. Moreover, Xia Guochu is a vassal state of the Ming Kingdom. To oust the lord of the country is too bad.”

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "Anyway, his sins are not enough to oust him, so let's scold him, order him to make corrections, use the title of Daming Hongwu, and don't call me arrogantly. effect."

What Su Yonglin said is also true.

This side has just become the suzerain of others, and then it is about to depose the lord of others. It is really bad to say it.

No matter what, you have to give him a chance to make a change. If he doesn't change after repeated teachings, he will be severely punished. This is more appropriate.

Ren Degong had nothing to say, knowing that it was inappropriate to continue to force Su Yonglin to punish Li Renxiao at this time, and Su Yonglin would not agree, it would only increase his dissatisfaction with Ren, so he could only give up angrily and stop talking about this matter. .

However, Su Yonglin's words were not finished yet.

"You are very frank with me, I am still very happy about this, but you must also know that your identity is the minister of the Xia Kingdom, and there is still a difference between the monarch and the minister. Unless the Xia Kingdom is ready to rebel, you can't just dismiss it Do you understand the words of the lord of the country?"

Su Yonglin's words shocked Ren Degong.

Only then did he realize that what Ren Dejing said to him before he set off was still right.

As a high-ranking monarch, Su Yonglin must have a natural disgust and preparedness for this kind of inferior thing. If they want to discuss this matter with Su Yonglin, I am afraid it will not be easy.

But Ren Degong also noticed the preconditions in Su Yonglin's words - unless Li Renxiao was really going to rebel.

Ren Degong thought for a while, and repeatedly accused Su Yonglin.

After that, Su Yonglin took the initiative to ask him something about Xiliao.

"I heard that Yelu Dashi led his army to the Western Regions to rebuild the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom is still there. I wonder if this is the case?"

"It's true, does Your Majesty know about the Liao Kingdom?"

"I know some, but not much. Mainly, I have a lot of Khitans under my subordinates. They are more concerned about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. I will just ask.

"I see."

Ren Degong didn't think too much, and said: "Yelü Dashi did establish a country in the old land of the Western Regions, rebuilt the Liao Kingdom, and then conquered the east and the west. It is said that he has conquered a large territory and has many troops and troops. This is not surprising. , The strange thing is that the Liao Kingdom is now ruled by a female emperor."

"The Empress is in power?"

Su Yonglin was a little curious and asked, "Which woman is the emperor?"

"It is the daughter of Yelu Dashi, named Yelu Pusuwan. When the first emperor of the Liao Kingdom, that is, Yelu Dashi's son, died, the prince was still young, so the first emperor of the Liao Kingdom issued an edict to let the female emperor proclaim the dynasty and take over the throne. But I didn't expect the Empress to directly proclaim herself Emperor."

"She wants to be Wu Zetian?"

Su Yonglin smiled: "How capable is she? Is the Liao Kingdom stable? Could there be turmoil?"

"I haven't heard of any turmoil, and I don't think she is an ordinary woman, but we also got news that after Yelu Dashi died, it was his wife who came to rule the dynasty, and later returned the throne to the first emperor of Liao, so the people of Liao I guess I'm used to it."

Ren Degong replied.

Su Yonglin nodded and gained some understanding of the current situation of the Liao Kingdom.

There was no civil strife when the female emperor was in power, indicating that the Liao Kingdom was indeed very stable. Yelu Dashi had laid a solid foundation for the country. It was considered a strong country locally. It is no wonder that many countries later called China with the pronunciation of Khitan.

This is not the time to contemplate Xiliao.

It is better to rectify internal affairs, cultivate internal strength, and wait for problems within the Southern Song Dynasty and Western Xia to prepare to annex these two countries and unify the land of China.

As for Gary.

A small country can be pacified by a single division, so why bother?

Later, Su Yonglin formally met with Ren Degong and other Xixia envoys, publicly announced that Xixia was recognized as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, publicly canonized Li Renxiao as the king of Xia, and recognized Li Renxiao's rule over Xixia.

At the same time, Su Yonglin also ordered to rebuke Li Renxiao.

Su Yonglin accused Li Renxiao of failing to fulfill the obligations of the vassal state and of arrogance, and demanded that Xixia fully adopt the Hongwu era title, and Li Renxiao was not allowed to call me, but could only be called a widow.

He said that he would send someone to see Li Renxiao in a while to see whether Xia Guo corrected his trespassing actions according to Su Yonglin's request. If he did not correct it, he would be severely punished.

Su Yonglin had just finished meeting the envoys of Xixia, and the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty came. It was quite a coincidence.

Su Yonglin learned that this time the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty were envoys Zuo Pushe, the Shangshu of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Tang Situi, the chief prime minister, and learned that the Southern Song Dynasty attached great importance to his proclamation as an emperor.

Tony retreats.

This person is very interesting. Facing Jin Guo, his attitude is the same as his name, but it runs counter to his official word [Jin Zhi].

This person who was thinking about retreating and shrinking, and even suspected of collaborating with the enemy, has now come to the Central Capital.

To be honest, after Su Yonglin left the Southern Song Dynasty, he never had any contact with the official figures of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he did not know much about their current attitude towards the Ming Empire.

As the only "big country" that could rival the Ming Empire, Su Yonglin paid more attention to the current official attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Because he intends to promote the construction of internal affairs, and does not intend to implement the strategy of outward expansion, the governance of the Yellow River will be the top priority.

He will allocate a lot of manpower and material resources to attack the Yellow River.

At this stall, he didn't want the Southern Song Dynasty to change the foreign policy of the Lord's Peace, so he also hoped to learn about the actual trends of the Southern Song Dynasty through Tang Situi.

For example, does Zhao Gou have the idea of ​​abdicating the throne, whether Zhao Tan has the possibility of ascending the throne in the near future, etc.

So before formally receiving the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Yonglin took the initiative to summon Tang Situi.
