Emperor Li Renxiao of Xia Kingdom died in the hands of Ren Dejing.
There is no value in dying, there is not even any resistance, and there can be no effective resistance.
After more than 20 years of being emperor, he unexpectedly died at the hands of a powerful official. And this powerful official was not even a powerful official who rose to power before he took the throne. It can be said that he was a powerful official who was raised by his indulgence.
His death was not worthy of pity.
Seeing Li Renxiao die in front of him, Ren Degong, who had been standing behind with no movement, stepped forward.
"Brother, now we really have no way out. What should we do next?"
"Didn't I say it? There is no way out for a long time. Before that, any way out before us was a dead end disguised. We can only go all the way forward and fight a bloody road. The front end of the bloody road is It’s a way to survive.”
Ren Dejing wiped the blood off the knife, sheathed it, turned and left Li Renxiao's palace.
"Those who are in prison, those who opposed me in the court in the past, and those who participated in my music, all are brought here. I will let them look at the corpses of Li Renxiao and Li Renyou, and kill them one by one. By the way, there is also the royal family, don’t forget the royal family, they are also obstacles and will threaten our way of survival, so we must die.”
Ren Degong looked complicated.
"Aren't you going to let anyone go?"
"No one will be spared, except Li Renxiao's three-year-old son, and my stupid daughter. By the way, bring my stupid daughter here too, so that he can see with his own eyes how his father kills himself. Came a bloody road."
"Understood."
Ren Degong winked at Ren Decong and left with Ren Decong.
Soon, the hot-blooded Gongji and others who had been thrown into prison for opposing Ren Dejing, as well as those who followed Ao Daochong in the court to attack Ren Dejing but did not have time to deal with them, along with their family members, were all arrested. Brought to the palace.
The bloody bodies of Li Renxiao and Li Renyou were helped to sit up.
Li Renxiao's eyes were opened, and he "sat" on a chair at the entrance of the palace with a weird posture like a puppet, "looking" at the opponents who were brought here.
Li Renyou was even more horrified. A headless corpse was "sitting" on a chair holding its own head and "looking" at the opposition.
When the opposition officials and their families saw this scene, they were all frightened.
Afterwards, some people cried bitterly, and some people cursed thinking about Ren Dejing, and uttered the most vicious words they could.
For example, Hot Gongji lost his mind and said he wanted to devour Ren Dejing's flesh and blood.
"Ren Dejing! I want to eat your flesh! Drink your blood! Eat your entire family! Eat them all! You bastard! Devil!"
Hot Gongji had disheveled hair and stared at Ren Dejing with red eyes.
If looks could kill, Ren Dejing would have died thousands of times, but looks can't kill. Hot Gongji wanted to rush forward and kill Ren Dejing, but he was guarded by strong soldiers and could not move. .
Hot Gongji's doing this can't change anything, it just makes Ren Dejing's completely released violent mentality even more inflated.
Ren Dejing had just killed the emperor and released the shackles in his heart. Now it was time for his desire for destruction to explode.
How could he withstand such national abuse?
So Ren Dejing stepped forward in person and kicked Rela Gongji's mouth to bits, smashed his teeth, and broke the bridge of his nose. Rela Gongji's face was covered with blood, and he was covered in blood. Blood was pouring out, leaving him speechless.
Then Ren Dejing personally wielded a knife and slashed his body more than a dozen times without hitting any vital points. Then he had someone pick him up and forcefully let him bleed until he died.
The two sons of Rela Gongji broke away and came forward to avenge Rela Gongji, but Ren Degong commanded the soldiers to pierce their hearts with thousands of arrows and shoot them into sieves.
The hot Gongji's wife stepped forward like a madman to avenge her husband and son. Ren Decong stepped forward with a knife, cut off her head with one knife, and kicked away the headless body.
The other relatives and family members of Rela Gongji cried and wanted to fight Ren Dejing, but the soldiers rushed forward and chopped them to death with swords, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The whole family of Hot Gongji died, which was very miserable.
The rest of the people looked at this scene, and those who cursed did not dare to scold, and those who cried bitterly did not dare to cry. They were all frightened and begged not to become the next victim.
However, Ren Dejing no longer intends to reconcile with these people.
He wants to carry out a great purge and kill all those who oppose him, including their families.
This way, no one will be able to oppose him.
He believed that every successful usurper in history had risen to power in this way.
Stepping on the corpse, the soles of his feet were covered with blood, and his hands were covered with blood, and then he sat in that shining golden position, dominating the world.
This is how power is created. It's not a big deal. He allowed Dejing to do this, and so did Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Which person with a great reputation doesn't have a few lives in his hands?
So he sat next to Li Renxiao's body, called a minister's name, and soldiers took him out, along with his family members, and killed his family members first, and then himself.
The vicious curses could not change anything. In this way, the large square in front of the palace was soon filled with the corpses of the victims.
In the middle of the killing, the Xixia royal family was all brought over. A large group of people were crying and crying. They were scared to death when they saw the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. When they saw the corpses of Li Renxiao and Li Renyou, they screamed and screamed. Very.
Ren Dejing was unhappy to hear this, and even recalled the past when he had knelt down to please the Xixia royal family in order to gain access to the central government and gain more power when he first became successful.
At that time, in order to please the powerful Xixia royal family, Ren Dejing racked his brains. He was given all kinds of gifts to his heart, and all kinds of beauties were given to his heart. Finally, he got their recognition and was allowed to enter the court.
Thinking about it now, it really made Ren Dejing shed a lot of bitter tears.
So with a wave of his hand, his soldiers drew their swords and stepped forward, killing them indiscriminately.
Each and every one of these people, either themselves or their fathers, have received the filial piety and benefits of Ren Dejing. Although it was necessary to do so in the past, when I think about it now, it is really annoying.
With new grudges and old grudges, it is not surprising that Ren Dejing wants them to die.
Although these Xixia royals are noble and well-dressed, they really don't have the courage. They only know how to eat all day long, but they don't know where the food comes from. Facing these well-trained soldiers with a heart as strong as stone, they naturally have no power to fight back.
In just two quarters of an hour, all the men and women of the royal family were killed, and no one survived.
The old prince who had asked for a bribe from Ren Dejing was hanged up and bled to death by Ren Dejing's subordinates.
The young royal family member who had mocked Ren Dejing as a villain was beaten and kicked to death by three or five strong soldiers.
The bitter princess who disliked the jewelry given by Ren Dejing was not luxurious enough, was stripped naked and hung to death.
Ren Dejing listened to their miserable voices and freely vented the desire for destruction in his heart, feeling that his soul had been sublimated.
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yuanhao's descendants were basically dead, leaving only a three-year-old baby who would serve as the mascot for Ren Dejing's power.
After killing most of the royal family, Ren Dejing continued to kill the ministers.
When he killed the last minister who opposed him, his daughter came here holding Li Renxiao's only son, who was only three years old.
The pungent smell of blood and the tragic scene frightened Queen Mother Ren to the point where she took several steps back and screamed repeatedly, unable to control her emotions.
She turned around and wanted to escape, but the soldiers around her refused to let her escape.
Looking at her father Ren Dejing, who was stained with a lot of blood, Queen Mother Ren seemed to have seen a terrifying demon king, trembling like a weak chick losing the protection of a hen before an eagle.
Ren Dejing stepped forward and looked at Queen Mother Ren with cold eyes.
"Are you afraid now? Do you know that if I take a step back, it will not be them but us who will die here now. As long as I soften my heart just a little bit, what you will see now is my and your uncle's bodies. You are My daughter, why are you so naive and stupid?
Ever since I sent you to the palace to be the late emperor's concubine, we, the Ren family, had no way out. Today, Li Renxiao begs you to call me into the palace and ambushed three hundred dead men on the only way. If someone hadn't informed you, As for me, I am afraid that I have died without a burial place.
If I die, can you live well? When I die, the entire Ren family will be buried with me, and they will all die without a burial place. Will you be happy to see with your own eyes that your blood relatives will die without a burial place? If it were me, I wouldn't be happy. "
Queen Mother Ren stood stupidly, her body trembling slightly, looking at Ren Dejing with fear in her eyes, unable to say a word.
This situation made Ren Dejing let out a long sigh, so he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take Queen Mother Ren away and take her back to her palace to rest well and take good care of her body.
The three-year-old baby was handed over to the wet nurse. After a few days, when the situation stabilized, the baby would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Since then, Ren Dejing has officially taken control of Xixia's military and political power, and no one within Xixia can threaten his status and power.
After killing this group of people, he searched the entire capital for people who had connections with this group of opposition people. Whether they were ordinary scholars or businessmen who provided financial support to them, they all were arrested, killed, and their homes were ransacked.
All those who had threatened him or were currently threatening him were killed by him, like autumn leaves sweeping away fallen leaves.
And this three-year-old baby is the only survivor of the Xixia royal family that can be found in the entire imperial city, and the only bloodline inheritor of Li Renxiao.
As for how many Xixia royal families there are in other places, Ren Dejing doesn't know.
So later he checked the files and learned the number and residence of the Xixia royal family scattered in other places. None of them had military power, which was a good thing.
So he sent people to various places with forged... It can't be said to be forged, it should be said to be written in the name of his daughter, to punish the death of these scattered Xixia royal family.
If they are decent, let them be decent themselves; if they are not, then help them be decent.
All in all, apart from this three-year-old baby, he did not want the Xixia royal family to be alive and affect his rule.
Otherwise, as long as there is any ambitious person in the local area, he can easily support a descendant of the Xixia royal family to fight against him and cause him trouble.
He wanted to take precautions and solve everything.
He wanted to control this little doll in his hands, manipulate it at will like a plaything, control all the real power of Xixia, and become the uncrowned king.
When this little baby becomes the nominal ruler of Xixia, it can also help Ren Dejing cope with the political offensive of the Ming Dynasty.
Two days later, Ren Dejing had all the officials who opposed him promoted and his house ransacked. Having had enough to eat and drink, he officially announced that he would make Li Chunbao, Li Renxiao's only son, emperor.
Then externally, he sent the official credentials of Xixia to the Ming army on the border, hoping that they would transfer the credentials to the emperor Su Yonglin and let Su Yonglin know that the Xia Kingdom had changed its king.
Whether you like it or not, the deal is done. Things have reached this point. Do you want to use troops for this?
You are still building the Yellow River. You have just fought a war. There is no way to continue the war in a short time, right?
The so-called border troop deployment is probably just military deterrence, right?
Ren Dejing believed that his speculation was reasonable. If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to go to war, it would have started long ago. It would not wait until now at the border and threaten himself to make concessions. In essence, he could not fight, but he hoped to start a war. to the effect.
Humph, Su Yonglin, do you think I will fall into the trap?
Ren Dejing convinced himself in his heart.
However, on the day he killed Li Renxiao, the news was known to Su Yin and Song Zhongxuan.
When Ren Dejing mobilized his troops to enter the palace, all the Skynet Army spies and Ming merchants in the entire imperial city hurriedly left the imperial city and fled to the south.
They ran all the way and spent three days leaving the border of Xixia and heading to Huaidezhou. They were protected by the Ming army and brought the news to the Ming army on the border.
The border Ming army belonged to the Qilu Corps, and its commander was Su Haisheng. Su Haisheng happened to be preparing for war in Huaidezhou at that time. As soon as Ren Dejing launched a mutiny, he immediately knew that the opportunity had come.
He received an order from Su Yonglin at the end of November, asking him to mobilize troops to prepare for battle. The purpose was that once Ren Dejing launched a mutiny, regardless of whether Xixia King Li Renxiao was in trouble or not, he would immediately send troops to attack Xixia, and the troops would be directed towards Xingqing Mansion—— The capital of Xixia.
No matter what, if you rebel, I will fight. I am here to quell the rebellion of the vassal country and teach the sycophants a lesson. How can you still criticize me?
For this reason, Su Yonglin sent 10,000 Huben Army cavalry who had not had time to return to Yanyun after reorganization to assist in the battle under Su Haisheng. Together with the five divisions mobilized by Su Haisheng himself and a cavalry division directly under the army, a total of 70,000 troops were ready to go.
Just waiting for the exact news to come from Xixia.
As soon as the news arrived, Su Haisheng immediately issued an order to march, and without caring about anything else, he marched directly with great speed and personally commanded an army of 40,000 troops directed at the Xixia Jingsai Military Division.
Catch him off guard.
