After Li Renli returned to Xingqing Mansion, he immediately came to the palace to see Li Renxiao.

It just so happened that Li Renzhong was also here with Li Renxiao at this time.

Li Renli immediately told Li Renxiao and Li Renzhong about his trip to see Wu Jue, and focused on the "handwritten letter" written by Li Renxiao to Li Yan.

After hearing this, Li Renxiao flatly denied it: "I did write a handwritten letter to the Lord, but what I wrote in the letter was to ask the Lord to support us according to what we had discussed before, and I did not ask the Lords to send troops to help us quell the rebellion. ”

Li Renli hesitated a little and said, "This letter written by Your Majesty, um...... Who else has seen it but Your Majesty? ”

Seeing that Li Renli didn't believe him, Li Renxiao was very unhappy!

But Li Renxiao still replied: "This letter was written by the professor of Sinology, I personally transcribed it, and then put it in an envelope and sealed it by Xiao Shunzi. ”

He is a scholar with rich writings in Chinese and Western Xia, and he is a scholar with rich works in Chinese and Western Xia characters, and he is very virtuous and well-known to the world, so if he witnessed that Li Renxiao's letter to Li Yan was just asking Dazhong to support Western Xia and not asking Dazhong to send troops to help, then Li Renxiao's words would be much more convincing, so Li Renli hurriedly asked: "Has Hu Daochong ever seen His Majesty write a letter to the Lord?" ”

"This ...... Never. ”

How can Li Renxiao say that he is also the lord of Western Xia, how dare he "monitor" Li Renxiao's letter? What if Li Renxiao wanted to write something private in this letter, such as asking his uncle to send troops to help.

Therefore, this letter written by Li Renxiao has not been seen by a fifth person except for himself, Li Yan, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian.

Li Renxiao was very unhappy and said: "Even if no second person has seen it, so what, can I lie?" ”

Li Renli said: "Now it is no longer a question of whether Your Majesty is lying or not, but Dazhong insists that His Majesty asked the Lord for help, and Dazhong sent troops." ”

Li Renxiao raised his voice and said: "That's the Chinese lord lying, or who dropped my handwritten letter, it doesn't matter, I can openly say that I haven't asked the Chinese army for troops, and ask the Chinese army to return the Hengshan area to us in Daxia." ”

Li Renli also raised his voice a little and said, "When has Your Majesty ever seen a wolf on the grassland eat a sheep and spit it out the sheep?" ”

Seeing that Li Renxiao and Li Renli were on fire, Li Renzhong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it has become a fact that the Chinese army has captured the Hengshan area, and there is no point in arguing about this matter anymore, and now the top priority is how to solve the current dilemma, now that there are wolves and tigers in front of us, it has come to the time of life and death in our Western Xia, we must deal with it properly, otherwise we will ......"

Li Renzhong didn't say the latter words, but Li Renxiao and Li Renli both knew what Li Renzhong meant, otherwise it would be the end of their Western Xia Li family.

Li Renxiao was silent for a while, and said, "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, but I have come up with a way, you two can help me take a closer look and see if it is feasible?" ”

Li Renxiao organized the language for a while, and then said: "If you let the thief continue to fight, don't say that we lose, even if we win by luck, the Western Xia is afraid that it will no longer exist, and the defeated Western Xia will not be able to resist the invincible Chinese army, for the sake of today, only half of the Western Xia will make peace with the thief and the thief, and then our two Chen armies will be in the east, so as to deter the Chinese army and make it dare not easily go west, and then temporarily stabilize the situation, and then we will slowly try to do it." ”

Li Renzhong and Li Renli were a little surprised—they didn't expect that Li Renxiao, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, would really be able to think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of them!

This also made Li Renzhong and Li Renli re-examine Li Renxiao, and felt that Li Renxiao might also be able to become a Ming Jun - Li Renzhong and Li Renli thought together: "If Your Majesty doesn't take over a Western Xia that is full of holes, God will take care of Your Majesty again, don't just ascend the throne, disasters will occur frequently, Your Majesty may be able to leave a heavy mark in history, now...... can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Li Renzhong was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty's method has a certain possibility of success, but it's just ...... As soon as His Majesty ascended the throne, he ...... Some...... Some ......"

Li Renxiao laughed at himself: "As soon as I ascended the throne, I lost half of Daxia, I am a little sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, right?" ”

Li Renzhong and Li Renli were all silent, and it can be said that they acquiesced in Li Renxiao's self-deprecation.

Li Renxiao was silent for a while, and then said: "I am incompetent, as soon as I ascended the throne, there were many natural disasters, bandits everywhere, important ministers rebelled, and the army of a big country pressed the border, which is really immoral and incompetent, so as soon as this matter passed, I issued an edict against myself, and then gave way to the king of Yue." ”

Li Renzhong and Li Renli are old ministers of the two dynasties, how can they not understand that Li Renxiao is preparing to bear all the sins on one shoulder, including ceding half of the Western Xia to Ren Dejing?

Truth be told, this is not an ordinary responsibility.

From this, Li Renzhong and Li Renli also saw that although Li Renxiao was young, he actually had the qualifications of Mingjun.

Therefore, Li Renzhong and Li Renli cried at the same time: "Your Majesty ......"

Li Renxiao waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, if you are still a courtier of Great Xia or a member of the Li family, you must do this well, and it will not be in vain...... It's not in vain......"

The latter words, Li Renxiao really can't speak!

In fact, he also wants to be a good emperor, not to mention carrying forward the Western Xia, at least to keep the ancestral family business.

However, creation makes people!

……

Now is the time to race against time - if the Chinese army advances westward, then everything will be out of the control of the Western Xia court.

Therefore, he must make a strategy, and Li Renli immediately went to Xiazhou non-stop to negotiate peace with Ren Dejing.

By the way, Empress Dowager Ren learned that Li Renxiao wanted to negotiate peace with Ren Dejing, and also wrote a personal letter to Ren Dejing to persuade Ren Dejing to accept it when he saw it and not to become a sinner in Western Xia.

Nothing to say all the way.

It is only said that after Li Renli arrived in Xiazhou, he immediately asked Brother Li Chage to arrange someone to escort him to Ren Dejing's military camp.

After several tosses, Li Renli came to Ren Dejing's Chinese army tent and met Ren Dejing.

Li Renli hated Ren Dejing for the following offenses - Li Renli believes that if it weren't for Ren Dejing's wolf ambition to take advantage of the weakness of Western Xia to rebel, how could Western Xia end up in such a dilemma now, and must rely on ceding half of the territory to have a chance to breathe?

Therefore, Li Renli didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ren Dejing, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty has a will, as long as the Minister of State is willing to strike and reconcile, Your Majesty is willing to give the Southwest Road and Lingzhou to the Minister of State, so that the Minister of State can be a country by himself, and from now on, the Li family is willing to take charge of Western Xia together with your Ren family." ”

Ren Dejing really didn't expect that Li Renxiao would cede half of Xixia to him with such great courage!

This made Ren Dejing, who had just talked deeply with Ren Decong, a little undecided, and didn't know whether he should continue to march to destroy the Li family?
