Chapter 70 Section 3 Daxing Wenzhi

Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun, facing Song, Liao and Jin who were stronger than him, could only have their own way. Therefore, during his reign, the national power of Xixia reached its peak.So, once Li Qianshun died, what kind of emperor would Xia Renzong Li Renxiao who succeeded him be? Li Renxiao, just by hearing the name, you can tell that he is deeply influenced by Confucian culture.After Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, he fully inherited his father's policies, promoted the rule of law, and raised Confucian officials generously.The enrollment quota of the school founded by his father has been increased by more than ten times. It turns out that his father supports 300 Confucian students, and 3,000 students come to him to study here.There is also a primary school in the palace, and noble children aged seven to fifteen must enroll.The sons of nobles cannot be officials if they do not receive education.This is easy to deal with, I am not an official, our family has plenty of money, I am the son of the prince, and being an official is still troublesome, if I am not an official, I will not study.The emperor also decreed not to get married if you don't study, this is stupid.You can not be an official, but can you not get married?The prince will not do it either. There are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. If you don't get married, our family's incense will be cut off.I am the prince, and when you have no heirs in your life, we will be accountable.The trick the emperor thought of was too extreme, how could the nobles of the Xia Kingdom be educated?As long as you don't study, you can't be an official, and you can't get married.In this way, the noble children of Xixia had no choice but to study.The emperor often went to the school to inspect and supervise, to see how the students were doing and how the teachers were doing.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor ordered that Confucius be honored as Emperor Wenxuan. Confucius was King Wenxuan in the Central Plains Dynasty, and Emperor Wenxuan in Xixia, and he was worshiped as the emperor.Confucian temples were built all over the country. Confucian temples must be spectacular and exquisite. The state allocated funds, and Confucianism flourished in Xixia.Renzong also followed the Central Plains, compiled laws, translated classics, and strengthened agricultural production. Xixia's textile industry and printing industry all flourished.When Li Renxiao was in power, Xixia's national policy inevitably slipped to build the country with Confucianism.

Under such circumstances, the role of foreign policy is very prominent in order to bring the country smoothly and steadily on the right path and not to go on the wrong path.At this time, Xixia was basically surrounded by the Jin Dynasty and had been isolated from the Song Dynasty.Renzong believes that it is absolutely the most basic national policy to belong to the Kingdom of Jin and be sincere.If this national policy is shaken, it will bring disaster to Xixia, and Emperor Renzong is sure of this.
