Li Jiqian, the founder of Xixia, rebelled against the Song Dynasty and captured Lingzhou. He changed Lingzhou to Xiping Prefecture as the ruling center of the Dangxiang clan. // Fastest update // After his son Li Deming succeeded to the throne, he believed that Xiping Prefecture was located in the area of ????four fortresses, which was not conducive to defense, so he sent people to cross the Yellow River and build a city on the north bank, build a city palace and clan fields, and make it the capital. Here, it is called Xingzhou.
After Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, he built palaces and palaces in Xingzhou, promoted Xingzhou to Xingqing Mansion, formally established civil and military classes, and established the Xixia ruling organization. Located in the south of Zhutai City, he was enthroned here on October 11th, the first year of Yanzuo's reign, and became emperor.
The city of Xingqing Mansion is rectangular, with a circumference of more than eighteen miles. The moat connects the Tanglai Canal and is ten feet wide.
There are two gates in the north and south, and one gate in the east and west. The roads in the city are in a grid shape. In order to facilitate the cavalry, the streets are very wide. There are more than 20 neighborhoods including Chongyi in the city. Except for the splendid royal palace and the residences of a few nobles in the city, most common people live in low mud houses or mud houses.
After the news of Li Qianshun's execution came back, the whole city went into silence. All the nobles in the city stopped entertaining and stopped going to the streets. They locked themselves in their mansions one by one as if they were mourning for Li Qianshun. Seeing the nobles' behavior, the common people cautiously hid at home.
In the past, the six squadrons in the imperial siege that galloped in the city were completely wiped out in Shaanxi. Now the capital is guarded by thousands of remnant troops who luckily returned from Shaanxi and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses. However, except for the few soldiers guarding each gate, the rest were all huddled in the camp.
The whole city seemed deserted, and the palace seemed very depressing.
When the news came back that Li Qianshun had been beheaded two days ago, civil and military officials asked Prince Li Renai to succeed him as the leader of the country. To give unified orders.
After Renxiao¡¯s Li Renai came to the throne, the first thing he wanted to do was to use all the country¡¯s troops to recapture Li Qianshun¡¯s body. However, he was unanimously opposed by his mother Yelu Nanxian, King Shu Renli and other officials in the country. The emperor and his ministers finally reached an agreement and sent envoys to Daliang to redeem Li Qianshun's body.
Li Renai has been versatile since childhood, proficient in Sinology, and quite sentimental.
The death of Li Qianshun was a big blow to the sentimental Li Renai. He was originally weak, but now he walks even more frailly.
Seeing Ai'er like this, Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said: "Master, are those servants lazy again? These slaves must teach them a lesson. Don't be too kind."
Li Renai bowed and saluted, and then said: "They are not lazy, it's the children who won't let them follow."
Yelu Nanxian waved the servants in the room to get out, and then said: "Ren'ai, you have to take care of yourself. After your father's death, the foundation of Xixia for more than a hundred years has been maintained by you."
Li Renai nodded and said: "The kid knows, but the kid thinks about his father's head being hung on a high beam. The kid is a little uncontrollable."
Although Yelu Nanxian was given by the Emperor of Liao, he had lived with Li Qianshun for many years and was very affectionate towards Li Qianshun who worked hard to govern.
Thinking of Li Qianshun's tragic situation, I couldn't help but blush, but when I saw my son in front of me, he started to cry again. I could only blink hard and hold back the tears that were about to come out.
"Ren'ai, no matter what the cost, we will redeem your father's body. But the most important thing now is to control the troops in the country. Your father passed away suddenly. Many tribes in the country must be ready to make a move. That is King Shu Renli Be careful too."
Li Renai said doubtfully: "Prince Shu is a minister of the clan. Is the queen worried too much?"
Yelu Nanxian shook his head and said: "Your father asked King Shu to oversee domestic affairs before he went on the expedition. Now the three armies, your father's and King Jin's two armies, have lost most of their troops. Only Pu Wang Renzhong's 200,000 soldiers and horses are left unharmed. Loss. King Shu and King Pu are brothers, and they control most of the country's troops, so there is no guarantee that they will not be disloyal. "
Li Renai said painfully: "My father treats them very kindly, and they are members of the clan, so they should not cause trouble."
Yelu Nanxian said: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. If they can loyally assist you, that would be great, but we cannot leave our own safety to them."
Although Li Renai is a little weak, she is not stupid. Hearing this, she asked, "What plans does the queen have to teach her children?"
Yelu Nanxian said: "The queen wants Xiao Heda to take over the troops of Xingqing Mansion, so that we will not become prisoners of others unknowingly."
" Xiao Heda is Yelu Nanxian's domestic slave who came from Liao Kingdom as a dowry.
Li Renai frowned and said, "Will the people in the country reject Xiao Heda?"
Yelu Nanxian shook his head and said: "Xiao Heda has always been brave and has friendship with many soldiers guarding the city. Moreover, he is my dowry slave, that is, a Xixia native. People in the country will not reject him."
Li Renai said: "But the soldiers and horses in the city are now under the control of King Shu. If he is suddenly deprived of his military power, I am afraid it will make him think too much."
Yelu Nanxian smiled and said: "The king is worried too much. He is also avoiding suspicion at this time. He has strictly restrained the soldiers and horses in the city these two days because he is afraid of being misunderstood. The king gave him an order to hand over his military power. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s eager to do so.¡±
Li Renai said in confusion: "In this case, King Shu has no objections, so why should he be deprived of his military power? I think it is better to continue to let him control it. Anyway, there are not many soldiers in the city. We can organize troops in the future. Just let Xiao Heda lead the troops so that he doesn't have to think too much."
Yelu Nanxian looked at his immature son and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "People can change. He has no dissent now, but there is no guarantee that he will not have dissent in the future. King Pu's troops have not returned home yet. Once his 200,000 troops When you come back, there is no guarantee that King Shu will not be tempted. Now that you are the king, you must be kind to your ministers and let them be loyal to you, but you must also have the majesty of the king to prevent them from bullying you. You were too kind in the past, and the servants in the palace were not afraid of you. In the future, you have to correct them. If they make mistakes, you have to punish them, otherwise they will treat you less and less. "
Li Renai nodded painfully and said: "What the mother taught me is that the child immediately ordered Xiao Heda to take over the military power in the city."
"At the same time, give more rewards to King Shu. Although everyone knows our intentions in this matter, you still have to give King Shu a step down. You can reward his heirs and increase his official titles, but you cannot let him have more rights."
Yelu Nanxian couldn't bear to see her son in pain, but the current situation forced her to let her son change.
Yelu Nanxian persuaded Li Renai for a while before letting Li Renai draft the decree.
After Shu Wang Renli received Li Renai's order, he was not unhappy at all and immediately handed over his military power.
Xiao Heda took over the military power and had to promote some confidants to control the military power.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???? Zhong Shidao, Lu Junyi, Liu Zhongwu and others all gathered in the hall.
Master Zhong said: "Last night I received a letter from Xue Sichang, the former Song Dynasty's Huanqing Road envoy. He wanted to exchange for a chance to be rich and wealthy for the rest of his life. If the prince could absolve him of his guilt, he was willing to lead his troops and drag Renzhong's troops to Hengshan. outside."
Hearing this, Liu Zhongwu shook his head and said: "This person is capricious and extremely shameless. He just voted for Xixia, and now it seems that Xixia's defeat is certain, but he wants to join me, Daliang."
Wu Song said: "This guy has betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. If the prince's temperament does not kill him, the three clans will be considered advantageous to him. He still thinks about wealth for the rest of his life. Huang Qianshan just said something and was beheaded, but he directly killed the Xixia soldiers and horses. Put it in Shaanxi."
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "Xue Sichang probably knew what happened to Huang Qianshan, so he wanted to prevent the imperial court from granting him an official position, but to absolve him of his guilt."
Mu Hong frowned and said, "Such a dishonest person can be killed if caught. How can we absolve him of his guilt?"
Yang Zhidao: "If we can block Renzhong's 200,000 troops, it would be worth a try."
Wu Song said: "The prince has already broken into Xixia, and we can't delay. Apart from our 50,000 soldiers and horses, there are not many soldiers and horses in Shaanxi. What can we do if we block them?"
Xu Guanzhong, who had been silent, said: "In my opinion, this matter is feasible. The 50,000 troops and horses to support the prince cannot be delayed, but there are still 50,000 troops and General Li Ying's 10,000 troops. There is General Lin Chong in Jingzhao Mansion. With 10,000 troops and horses, the Yongxing Army can also mobilize 20,000 troops and horses. Coupled with the troops and horses on the Yanyan Road, it is still possible to defeat Renzhong's troops and horses from three sides. "
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "General Xu is right, I think we can give it a try. Regardless of success or failure, we can drag the Renzhong tribe in Shaanxi for a while and reduce the pressure on the prince. If it succeeds, we can get 200,000 Xixia soldiers and horses." It is worth replacing Xue Sichang. If it fails, Xue Sichang will probably lose his life." (To be continued.
