in fact--

Strictly speaking, the surrender of Li Renxiao's Kaicheng cannot be regarded as the complete demise of Xixia. After all, there is more than one Xingqing Mansion in Xixia. Xixia also has several states including Xia, Yin, Sui, You, Jing, Ling, Hui, and Sheng.

These areas all need to be calmed down slowly.

The key point is that the nation of Dangxiang must be properly dealt with, otherwise, there will be another disaster in this land of Xixia.

Of course, things are intricate and have to be done step by step.

As soon as the Hengshan area was captured by Wu Jie, Li Yan called Chen Kangbo back to Yanjing, and then had a long talk with Chen Kangbo for more than four hours.

On the second day, Chen Kangbo, who was appointed by Li Yan as Ningxia Xuanfu envoy, took a large number of officials prepared for him by the imperial court to Xixia.

When Chen Kangbo and his party arrived in Xixia, it happened to be the day when Wu Jie conquered Xingqing Mansion, and Chen Kangbo happened to be in charge of Xingqing Mansion.

Once in charge of Xingqing Mansion, Chen Kangbo changed the name of Xingqing Mansion to Ningxia Mansion according to Li Yan's suggestion.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Kangbo began to organize disaster relief, immigration, and governance of Xixia.

Needless to say, disaster relief, if it wasn't for the frequent disasters in Xixia, which made the people of Xixia unable to survive, and rose up one after another, Ren Dejing would not dare to jump up against Xia, and Dazhong wiped out Xixia so easily, so , This disaster must be relieved, and it must be relieved well, otherwise, Xixia will definitely show signs of instability.

The same goes for immigration.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, especially taking advantage of such a rare disaster in Xixia, Dazhong is going to move the Xixia people (mainly party members) away—in the future, he will use policies to move some Han people here to completely solve the ethnic problems here in Xixia .

Let me emphasize that the civilians of Xixia still have the right to choose whether to go or not (as long as you can withstand hunger and don’t want the relief money and food from the court, you can stay), the high-ranking officials and nobles of Xixia, especially the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Dangxiang clan , even if it is just a wealthy family, it must be removed, unconditionally, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed. In a word, Dazhong wants to remove the party members from Xixia as much as possible, and the ultimate goal is naturally to never give the party members the chance to restore the country.

After disaster relief and immigration, there is governance.

In this regard, Dazhong not only sent a large number of capable officials, but also selected a large number of officials from the common people of Xixia, and asked them to replace the original high-ranking officials and nobles of Xixia to govern Xixia. They have become vested interests, so they will definitely support Dazhong's rule, and eventually Xixia will completely become an inseparable part of Dazhong's territory.

This will definitely be a very slow and long process, so I won't go into details for now.

Soon, the Li family of Xixia and the dignitaries of Xixia were all escorted to Yanjing.

but--

Unlike the royal families and royal families of other destroyed countries, the Li family of Xixia has an amulet, which is the "personal letter" written by Li Renxiao to Li Yan.

As soon as Wu Jie led the army into the city, Li Renxiao changed his words, saying that the "personal letter" he wrote to Li Yan was written by him himself, saying that he was enough to be the emperor, and that he was willing to exchange Xixia for the Li family of Xixia forever. rich.

This is of course Li Renxiao's choice in desperation, but at this time, this helpless choice can keep the Xixia Li family from being persecuted, and perhaps keep the Xixia Li family's wealth for a lifetime.

Speaking of it, it is really a trick of good fortune. Who would have thought that the "personal letter" that Li Renxiao refused to admit when he was beaten to death, has now become Li Renxiao and the amulet of the Li family of Xixia?

Because of this amulet, the Li family of Xixia went to Yanjing, instead of taking a prison cart like other royal families and royal families who had perished, they went in a horse-drawn carriage.

After the Xixia Li family arrived in Yanjing, Li Yan quickly summoned Li Renxiao.

Li Renxiao cried to Li Yan about the difficulties of being an emperor, and said that he would like to be a commoner for life and life, and he would not be an emperor anymore, and would like to ask Li Yan to fulfill him.

Li Renxiao's reputation in history is very good, even a little bit better than his father Li Qianshun. Due to Li Renxiao's unremitting efforts in internal affairs and foreign affairs, it has promoted the economic prosperity of the Xixia Kingdom and its national strength. I am very envious that the Uighurs in the Western Regions also sent envoys to the Xia Kingdom for the first time during Li Renxiao's period to contribute to the country. Moreover, the territory of Xixia during Li Renxiao's period included the later generations of Ningxia, most of Gansu, northern Shaanxi, and southwestern Inner Mongolia. , the northeastern part of Qinghai, a part of Xinjiang and a part of the Mongolian People's Republic. The vastness of the territory is unprecedented since the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty. Li Renxiao is therefore known as the "Lord of Zhongxing".

Li Yan didn't believe that Li Renxiao was a guy who could only cry and say he was tired of being an emperor, even though he was not yet 13 years old.

Therefore, Li Yan concluded that Li Renxiao must be pretending, and then made up his mind: Once my birthday is approaching, I will kill this person, and I must not leave him as a disaster for my descendants.

but--

Although he thought so, Li Yan cooperated with Li Renxiao to perform the scene well, and played the image of an uncle who is dedicated to taking good care of his nephew to the fullest.

If there were Golden Statue Awards and Golden Horse Awards in this era, Li Yan felt that with his performance today, he should be able to win Best Actor, or at least be nominated.

How do you say that, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Of course, there is a reason why Li Yan performed so hard.

Previously, when Li Qianshun was in power, he did so well that it was really unreasonable for Li Yan to attack Xixia.

Of course, Li Yan can also say domineeringly that Xixia hinders Dazhong from completing the reunification, so it should be annexed by Dazhong.

But this is an excuse when there is no excuse. If Li Renxiao does not give Li Yan this better excuse, Li Yan can only use this as an excuse. Now, Li Renxiao gave Li Yan this better excuse, of course Li Yan has to Then, after all, Li Yan is already the emperor of the largest empire in this era, so he still has to take some face into account.

After the two finished the scene, Li Yan cut off Li Renxiao's position as Xia Lord, and then gave Li Renxiao a Marquis of Anle, and gave Li Renxiao a mansion, so that Xixia Li could settle down in Yanjing. Those high-ranking officials in Xixia who are willing to be officials in Dazhong will accept the assessment of the Ministry of Officials again, and then make arrangements as appropriate (the starting point for officials with Han nationality is higher, and the starting point for officials with Party membership is much lower, but one thing is the same , that is, they all have to start from unimportant positions), and those who don’t want to be officials in universities or middle schools or fail to pass the exam will be scattered by the Ministry of Households and moved to the southeast, central south, and even Jura.

Soon after, good news came from Xixia. Zhang Xian defeated Ren Dejing's rebel army and Xiao Heda died in battle. As a last resort, Ren Dejing had to lead the Ren family to surrender.

Soon, the members of the Ren family, together with the high-level personnel of Ren Dejing's rebel army and all the officers, were all escorted to Beijing.

Although Li Yan hated Ren Dejing very much, Li Yan still didn't kill Ren Dejing because of Ren's face. I got a small official of the fifth and sixth grades.

Ren Dejing was very unhappy about this!
