Chapter 71 Section 4 Make Good Neighbors

When Li Renxiao's father Li Ganshun was in power, he adopted a diplomatic strategy that was both right and wrong, and got along very well with neighboring countries.So, will this Lee In Hyo do the same thing as his father?Will Jin, who was already very powerful at the time, buy him? Emperor Renzong once killed two Song Dynasty generals who wanted to defect to the Jin Dynasty.These two people were officials in the area bordering Xixia at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. When Xixia attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, the two surrendered. Now they are going to defect to the Kingdom of Jin. Emperor Renzong killed these two people.After the incident, he reported the incident to the Kingdom of Jin.At that time, the emperor of Jin Kingdom was Jin Xizong, and Xizong was very unhappy.These two people originally wanted to defect to me, but you killed them without anyone's consent and without telling me?However, he couldn't publicly issue an edict to criticize him. He could only blame Xia Renzong for being too authoritarian.Renzong hurriedly made an apology, but in the future, I will follow the example. I will do what I do first. After I finish it, if you turn your face, I will make an apology. Isn't it just to write an inspection?

Not long after, Jin Xizong was killed, and King Hailing sent an envoy to Xixia to tell Xixia that you have changed your boss. From today on, King Hailing is your boss, and you must serve him well.Xia Renzong upholds the heart of loyalty, can the name "Renxiao" be called for nothing?You, King Hailing, are a courtier, and you actually killed the emperor, can I accept your account?Therefore, Renxiao asked the golden envoy confidently and confidently: "Why did Emperor Shengde see him as abolished?" What did Emperor Shengde do wrong, why did you abolish him?The Jin envoy went back and told King Hailing that Li Renxiao asked us why we abolished Jin Xizong.When King Hailing heard this, Longyan was furious, can you control it?Anyone in the Kingdom of Jin who dares to take care of this matter is already a ghost under the sword.You are a small country in the west, and you don't know how to live or die.Of course, King Hailing mainly dealt with the Southern Song Dynasty. He didn't take Xixia seriously, but sent envoys to reprimand him. Renxiao immediately said, Boss, Boss, I was wrong.Anyway, whoever of you in Jin Kingdom becomes the emperor is my boss, I don't care who you are.I was too impulsive at the time, so I calmly asked such a sentence: "Why does Emperor Shengde want to be deposed?"Unexpectedly, the political situation in the Kingdom of Jin changed so quickly.Xixia enjoyed the country for 190 years, and experienced ten emperors; Liao 210 years, nine emperors; Jin 120 years, also nine emperors.King Hailing invaded the Song Dynasty in the south and was killed by his subordinates. Jin Shizong ascended the throne, and the Jin Kingdom changed its emperor again.Li Renxiao changed again immediately, and changed the boss again, so he had to curry favor quickly.

Renxiao was the elder of the three dynasties in Dajin, from serving Xizong to King Hailing and then serving Sejong.He asked a skilled craftsman to weave a tent and sent it to Jin Shizong, which was extremely exquisite.The tribute was delivered to Jin Shizong's eyes, and Jin Shizong's love for Xixia was beyond measure.Later, when Xixia was in danger of subjugation, it was thanks to Jin Shizong's help.Why?When he came to the throne, the political situation in the country was unstable, the old army of Hailing King was about to move, and the Song Dynasty wanted to take the opportunity to attack. At this time, Renxiao gave me something and respected me so much, how could I not love him more?

The lord of the Xixia Kingdom was really smart at this time, and he stopped drawing knives with others at every turn, but relied on diplomatic strategies to please the Kingdom of Jin, and at the same time communicated well with the Song Dynasty and paid tribute to the Song Dynasty.Even though it was so far away, Xixia still sent tribute to the Song Dynasty with gold and silver wine vessels, silk and satin, and sent envoys endlessly.Anyway, Song Chao and I are normally friendly, and Jin Chao doesn't say anything. As long as Jin Yi bullies too much, I will contact the Sichuan-Shaanxi Song Army and make a gesture.Renxiao's reign was also fifty-four years old. Like his father, the father and son had been in power for nearly one hundred and ten years, while Xixia only had a total of one hundred and ninety years.

The man of benevolence and filial piety is capable of bending and stretching, and he is also a monarch with great talents.Internally, he strengthened the imperial power and consolidated his throne; externally, he subdued when it should be subdued, as long as it was beneficial to Xixia.Moreover, Renxiao loves the people very much.I don't know what happened in those few years. There were always earthquakes in the Xixia Middle School, and it was in the capital.After the earthquake, the capital was in ruins, and the common people were about to rise up and rebel.At that time, unlike today, the government had timely relief measures to protect the people immediately.At that time, if an earthquake occurred in the border areas, it would take a month to report to the capital, and the common people could only take risks.Ren Xiao didn't send troops to suppress it as soon as he heard that there was an uprising among the people, but more often he sent officials to appease him.The government opened warehouses for relief, providing food, clothing and shelter for the common people.Anyone in the family who dies due to a disaster will be exempted from tax for three years, and those who are injured will be exempted for two years.In all disaster-stricken areas, taxes will be reduced or exempted depending on the severity of the disaster.Once the tax is reduced or exempted, the common people feel at ease.Our house has sunk into the ground, and you still ask me to pay taxes, what should I pay?I'm not a Tu Xingsun!Now the imperial court has ordered not to hand over, not only the ones from the past, but also the ones after two or three years, so everyone can feel relieved.The government also issued pension relief to allow the victims to resume production and rebuild their homes.The common people supported the emperor very much.

During Renxiao's reign, Xia's national strength continued to rise.But during the more than 50 years of Renxiao's reign, Xixia almost experienced such a shocking event that the country was split, which has never happened in history.What's going on here?
