After Li Yuanhao, a Qiang dynastyman, took control of the Hexi Corridor region, he established himself as emperor after the Song Dynasty and established the Great Xia State, known in history as The Western Xia. Later, he signed a contract with the Song, although he was not called an emperor but a lord of the country, it was also considered to have achieved the purpose of real quality and construction of the country, and he also fished a lot of coins from the Song. Since then, the Song, Liao, and Western Xia dynasties have stood side by side in the land of China.
The northern Liao state underwent a change, and the female Zhi tribe that submitted to the Khitan arose, and within a few years, the Great Liao State of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was beaten down, and then the Great Jin State was established, leaving only Yelü Dashi to lead the remnants of the Khitan to go to Central Asia and establish the Western Liao.
Immediately after that, Jin began to beat up the Great Song, and then the change of Jing Kang, Song Hui and the Second Emperor qin were taken captive by Jin Bing to Heilongjiang, and every day in the cellar to enjoy the frozen scenery of the northern country, I don't know if the great painter Zhao Yao has drawn several pictures of thousands of miles of snow drifting in Xingxing.
Song Mu fled all the way to the southern Canghuang, and finally stabilized his position in Hangzhou with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and after killing Yue Fei, who was the main force to go north, signed a contract with Jin, and then directly made Hangzhou a prefecture.
At the time of the rise of the Jin Dynasty and the annexation of the Liao Dynasty and the destruction of the Song Dynasty, after three generations of young lords and the dictatorship of the later clans, Qian Shun, who was quite talented, inherited the position of the lord of the country and ushered in a period of rising national fortunes.
To say that the lord of the Xia kingdom, Qian Shun, is also a sincere person, no matter what, with the Liao is also a neighbor for many years, the emerging female straight people who know what kind of temperament, in case it is a mischievous can do, so at the beginning of the Liao kingdom was beaten by the Jin people fat, also sent troops to help the Liao state resist, only to be beaten back by Jin.
Unexpectedly, Liao Guotai was too good to fight without being beaten, and within a few years, he was beaten down, and another neighbor, Song, was also beaten to the ground to find teeth. At this time, Qian shun's heart changed, you can't beat people's homes, you can't keep your land, don't blame me for not paying attention to faith, rather than cheapening others in vain, it is better for me to keep it for you two brothers.
In addition, at this time, Jin Guo took the initiative to send people to seek unity, and also cut off several prefectures and counties, and Qian shun made up his mind and said that he would do it.
At first, in order to guard against the Western Xia, the Song built many fortresses at the junction of the two countries. Western Xia took advantage of the Jin army to attack Song, and when Song had no time to take care of the Shaanxi region, he took advantage of the fire and looting to seize many walled fortresses.
Western Xia attacked Song Xi'an Prefecture, Lin Prefecture Jianning Zhai and other places, the defenders were either killed or fled, Xi'an Prefecture Tongju Ren Dejing led the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender, and was appointed by the state lord Qian Shun as Xi'an Prefecture Zhizhou.
Ren Dejing betrayed the Lord and surrendered, and in order to curry favor with the Lord of the Western Xia Dynasty and for his own safety, he gave his daughter, who was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, to Qianshun. Qian Shun liked this woman very much, and later made her a concubine, and was very generously rewarded, and promoted Ren Dejing to the position of Jingzhou defense envoy.
Ren Dejing's daughter Ren Shi was a lady of everyone, and the history books said that she was solemn and taciturn, and she was kind to the people below, and was tied with another concubine, Cao Shi, and the two got along very well.
In order for his daughter to become empress, Ren Dejing often spent a lot of money to bribe courtiers to kiss the noble family. A royal historian was bribed and wrote to him: The middle palace cannot always be absent, the two concubines are juxtaposed regardless of priority, and they will certainly be jealous of each other and compete for favors as the days go by, and it is easy to cause trouble. I hope that His Majesty will quickly elect a virtuous and virtuous empress.
Qian Shun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, felt that it was quite reasonable, so he consulted his subordinates, which is still necessary to say that everyone who received money unanimously praised no matter who was born and talented. Therefore, after establishing ren as the head of the clan, he promoted Ren Dejing to the position of the governor of Jingzhou.
More than a year later, the lord of the Xia kingdom, Qian Shunxue, was succeeded by the sixteen-year-old crown prince Li Renxiao. Ren Xiao was also indeed benevolent, and he made Ren and his birth mother Cao Shi the empress dowager, regardless of whether they were relatives or alienated.
In April of the first year of Renxiao's succession, Li Heda rebelled against the city of Xiazhou. Li Heda's original surname was Xiao, and the Xiao who helped Qiao Fengqiao in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon was obviously a Liaoguo. At first, Qian shun asked to marry Princess Cheng'an of the Liao kingdom, who was escorted to Western Xia by Xiao Heda, and Qianshun saw that this person could speak eloquently and was skilled and brave, so he left him in Western Xia.
Xiao Heda soon made many military achievements in Western Xia and was given the title of Du tong Zhen Shou Xia Prefecture. When Qian Shun saw that the liao state was gone, he turned to Jin as a vassal, and Xiao Heda became resentful. Later, Princess Cheng'an died of depression due to the demise of her mother's country, and the prince she gave birth to also died of illness, and Xiao Heda was even more indignant in her heart. Hearing that Yelü Dashi had established the Western Liao in the Western Regions, he immediately sent someone to look for it, but to no avail.
Just in time for Ren Xiaoxinli, who thought that he was also a meritorious general, Xiao Heda scattered his family wealth to recruit soldiers, united with the remnants of the Khitan tribes scattered everywhere, pulled up the banner of Xingfu Da Liao, and rebelled together. In April, the rebels besieged Xiping Province in Lingzhou, and in July they captured Yanzhou, raiding nearby prefectures and counties, and the troops rushed to Helan Mountain and threatened the capital of Western Xia.
Xiao Heda also spent a lot of money to contact the state capitals to rebel together, and those governors who dared to do so quickly cleared their relations, either refusing to accept it or kidnapping the emissaries and sending them to the capital. Only Ren Dejing, who served as the governor of Jingzhou, had a lively brain, and entertained the messengers with good food and drink, and took out from the emissaries' mouths many secrets and actual situations of the rebels.
Ren Dejing wrote to renxiao, the lord of the country: The rebels and thieves are all a ragtag bunch, and the united are also a few Khitan remnants. As long as His Majesty orders that the past events are not to blame, and that he is willing to go home to continue his life, and that he will be given money and food subsidies, there will certainly be people who are willing to accept it. Now that the thieves were arrogant, Xiao Heda's old lair, Xia Prefecture, was more than five hundred miles away from Lingzhou, and there was certainly not much defense, and the subject volunteered to lead an army to raid, and he would certainly be able to win a complete victory. Ren Xiao immediately asked Ren Dejing to lead the expedition.
After Ren Dejing received the order, he secretly deployed the inner and outer looses, and sent three hundred elites to Xia Prefecture, first controlling the soldiers guarding The Beacon in Xia Prefecture, and then rushing into Xia Zhou City with three thousand elite cavalry. The defenders of the city were unprepared for the battle and quickly fled. Ren Dejing captured Xiao Heda's wife and a large amount of grain, grass, gold and silver, and immediately opened a warehouse to release grain to appease the people, and Xia Prefecture was pacified.
When Xiao Heda learned of the loss of Xia Prefecture, he rushed back to the rescue, and at that time, Xiao Heda's people had already collapsed, and many small Khitan tribes returned to their own tribes. Xiao Heda met Ren Dejing in Yanzhou, was defeated by him, fled to the Yellow River, and his subordinates killed him, and the first rank was dedicated to the imperial court for merit.
When the rebellion was quelled, Ren Xiao appointed Dejing as the commander of the Xiangqing Army, and was given the title of Duke of Xiping and given a heavy reward.
A few years later, Western Xia suffered successive droughts and earthquakes, and the grains were full of hungry people, and the people could not survive and rose up and attacked the prefectures and counties. Ren Xiao ordered disaster relief and tax reductions in various places, and the flames were alleviated, but some people still took the opportunity to cause chaos. Ren Dejing sent people to pacify the bandits, only to curse the evil and not ask anything else, the flames gradually went out, only two groups of people were guarded by danger, and later Ren Dejing sent troops to pacify.
Since Ren Dejing was made the Duke of Xiping, he became more and more arbitrary in the local area with meritorious service, and he also requested to join the DPRK as an official. Ren Xiao originally wanted to agree, but Yu Shi advised that the foreign relatives took the initiative to enter the DPRK because they had the intention to interfere in the government, and from ancient times to the present, there was no chaos in the countries with exclusive foreign relatives, so they gave up.
In Western Xia, a Zhongshu ordered King Renzhong of Pu to be honest and honest, and Ren Dejing wanted to enter the dynasty as an official, and instructed Empress Ren to blow the wind for herself in the middle of the dynasty, because she was afraid that King Pu would not dare to make any moves for many years.
After the death of King Pu, Ren Dejing bribed the Jin king Cha Ge with gold and silver beads to pave the way for him to enter the dynasty. The King of Jin told RenXiao, and Renxiao finally agreed to ren dejing to enter the dynasty. Later, Ren De was flattered and greeted Brother Cha, and the two were in cahoots with each other, and the smell was similar.
Ren Xiao asked Ren Dejing to do Zhongshu Ling, and Ren Dejing was proud of his inner pride but resolutely resigned, but Ren Xiao still let him do Zhongshu Ling. After Cha Ge's death, Ren Dejing became the Western Xia Xiangguo.
When King Cha Ge of Jin was there, Ren Dejing still had something to take care of, and when Brother Cha was gone, he was arbitrary and arbitrary, and the government was up to himself, and the whole country looked at him. Ren Dejing also made his younger brother Ren Decong the former lieutenant of the palace, and Ren Degong the governor of Xingqing Province, and the two relied on their power to take bribes, and some impeached them but were deposed.
Ren De respected the power of the heavens, and the court was full of his henchmen, and gradually began to rebel. Empress Ren painstakingly persuaded: Our family's glory and wealth have reached the extreme, and I am afraid that if we continue to do so, we will probably cause trouble. But ren de be respected and can still listen to it.
Ren Dejing was later made the King of Chu, and sent 100,000 people to build the city of Lingzhou, and built a palace in his own Xiping Province, Xiangqing Military Supervision Division, and the people complained bitterly. He also asked his brother Ren Deren to serve as an envoy to the Jin Dynasty to listen to the words of Emperor Jin.
In order to usurp the throne, Ren Dejing sent people to Sichuan to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to send troops to attack Western Xia, and Xuanfu Shi Yu Yunwen saw that it was profitable, and hid the letter in a wax pill to reply to him. Later, he wrote a letter to Sichuan to send troops together, and was seized by the Border Patrol, and Renxiao secretly told Jin Guo.
After Empress Ren's death, Ren Dejing's usurpation of power became more urgent, and he coerced Ren Xiaoxiao, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, to distribute the land in the southwest of Western Xia and Lingzhou to Ren Dejing, so that he could establish himself as a state, and send envoys to the Jin Kingdom to request canonization. Jin Guoshang shu made Li Shi think that this was Xi Xia's own business, or to be nosy and promise him to forget it.
At this time, Emperor Jin Shizong, who was known as the "Little Yao Shun of the Northern Kingdom", said: If any king is willing to give the country to others, this must have been coerced by the powerful ministers, not the intention of the western Xia state lord. Western Xia has been a vassal for a long time, and has become the lord of the four seas, if he indulges the rebellious thief, how will he govern the country and the country in the future. If he does not repent, he should send troops to kill him, and he cannot be promised.
Emperor Jin returned the tribute and gave him an edict: The inheritance handed down by your ancestors should be well maintained. The matter of playing the request is too unreasonable, and I will send an envoy to inquire about you later. All tributes have been ordered to be returned.
Ren Dejing's request for the seal could not be achieved, and his heart was a little afraid, and he and his younger brothers Ren Deren, Ren Decong and other generals were ready to usurp the throne.
When Ren Xiaoxiao, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, learned of the attitude of the Jin Kingdom, he suddenly gained a little more confidence, united several clans, and planned cautiously, after all, li Yuanhao and the future Western Xia lords were still very experienced in how to eradicate the Later Clan and the powerful subjects. In the end, Ren Xiao destroyed Ren Dejing and his clan henchmen and eliminated them in one fell swoop.
I have to say that judging from Ren Dejing's practices in suppressing rebellion, he is indeed a rare talent in both the military and political fields, and if he can uphold his integrity and be loyal to his duties, he will certainly be a generation of famous courtiers. It's just that he is accustomed to seeing the wind and making the rudder, and he is not right in his heart from the root, and this kind of ending may have been predestined. Some people even said that his actions were to avenge the Song Song for the disaster in Western Xia, which was too ridiculous.
Jin Shizong finished Yan Yong's good knowledge of what Ren Dejing did, and could have done nothing, waiting for the civil strife in Western Xia to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he took the initiative to give up such a good opportunity, so some people praised Jin Shizong for being worthy of a generation of Ming Jun, and could be called a benevolent ruler.
However, in my opinion, Jin Shizong was afraid that this was not a benevolent demeanor, but he was worried that if ren Dejing was allowed to do this, his wolf-like uncles and brothers with the surname of Guanyan would learn from it, and the chair under his ass would be unstable, after all, he himself was taking advantage of the defeat of the Hailing King's complete Yan Liang to attack the Song army in the south, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the rear.
A traitor who betrays his lord and seeks glory, by virtue of his own ability, eventually becomes a generation of powerful ministers of a country, and finally because of his greed, he ends up with the end of the death of the clan, just in response to that sentence, and his rise and fall are also sudden, which is really legendary.
Climbing to the peak of power by his own strength, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Western Xia courtiers, Ren Dejing almost destroyed the Western Xia Dynasty.
Life and death are uncertain, and history is so interesting.
