Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 811 Planning (Additional chapter for Bubble Blowing Tiger SL)

When Ren Dejing returned to Xingqing Prefecture, it was already March in early spring.

Tuoba Hou, who was stationed in Suzhou, sent a camel caravan to cross the desert with difficulty and report to Xingqing Prefecture on the dangerous situation currently facing the Hexi Corridor region.

After receiving the news, Li Renxiao felt fortunate that the prime minister saw the opportunity early and decisively proposed peace talks with the Song Dynasty.

The situation in Suzhou was so critical, but he really had no way out.

A camel caravan could still cross the desert, but he couldn't send a large army across the desert.

Moreover, Yang Yuan was just south of Yingli City, eyeing the "Nine Crossings of the Yellow River" with eager eyes.

At this time, how could he dare to withdraw the defense forces from the Hetao area to relieve the siege of Hexi.

Now he only hopes that Ren Dejing can bring him good news.

When Ren Dejing returned to Xingqing City, willow catkins were floating gently towards the lake surface of the imperial city, and the lake was filled with green waves and misty curls.

Although for the entire Western Xia, it gives people the feeling of yellow sand everywhere and Gobi desert.

However, the Hetao Plain has the Helan Mountains as a barrier to block the cold wind and the Yellow River to irrigate the land, and it is undoubtedly a Jiangnan area on the frontier.

Li Renxiao personally went out of the city to welcome the prime minister.

When he saw Ren Dejing, Li Renxiao felt that Ren Dejing seemed like a different person.

In recent years, the prime minister has been taciturn and has a cold expression, as if he can't get excited about anything, and there is always a dull gray in his eyes.

But at this moment, Ren Dejing was full of energy, and his spirit and energy were completely different.

He didn't know that Ren Dejing had determined that the key to solving his biggest problem was a walking belt.

Now that he has a goal, his life has direction, so his whole mental state is completely different.

Li Renxiao just thought that Ren Dejing had successfully reached a negotiation with the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and he was in high spirits.

When Ren Dejing was invited to the palace and asked in person, it turned out that Ren Dejing had reached a preliminary agreement with the Song Dynasty.

Li Renxiao carefully read the peace agreement brought back by Ren Dejing, and he basically agreed to all the terms.

Perhaps it was because Western Xia was originally a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, and now it was just a change of overlord.

Or maybe it was because most of the power in Xixia was in the hands of the prime minister, and he was the emperor in name only.

So Li Renxiao didn't really ask for much, just to maintain the independent existence, independent army and country of the Western Xia Kingdom.

He was still the supreme emperor of the kingdom, and there seemed to be nothing he could not agree to.

Li Renxiao invited the prime minister to a palace banquet, and then stayed to negotiate the treaty and make further considerations.

When Ren Dejing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, his brothers, nephews and nephews all came to visit this pillar of the Ren family.

The Ren family is now a large family, with a total of six members holding high positions of power.

My elder brother Ren Dejing is the prime minister of this dynasty.

His younger brother Ren Decong was the Grand Marshal of the Palace.

His younger brother Ren Degong was the prefect of Kaifeng (prefect of Xingqing).

His cousin Ren Deren was the Xuanhui Envoy of the Southern Court.

His nephew Ren Chunzhong was the deputy chief secretary of the Privy Council.

Her daughter, Ren, was the empress dowager of the time.

Basically, this family not only controlled the political and military power of the Great Xia Kingdom, but Xingqing Prefecture was also in the hands of the Ren family.

Prime Minister Ren has not left Xingqing Prefecture for many years. Now that he has returned from the peace talks, it is normal for the Ren family members to visit and pay their respects. No one will be suspicious of this.

After a family dinner, it was normal for Ren Dejing to only invite those clansmen who held important positions and held great power in the court to his small study to drink tea and chat.

What was abnormal was just the content of their conversation.

But outsiders have no way of knowing what they talked about.

Because the entire courtyard where the prime minister's study was located was controlled by the masters of "Yipintang".

After hearing what Ren Dejing said, the Ren family didn't quite understand.

Of course, their misunderstanding does not lie in Ren Dejing’s “treason”.

Ren Dejing was originally a minister of the Song Dynasty. He was captured and surrendered only twenty years ago.

Everyone present here was an adult at that time and had all been ministers of the Song Dynasty.

They had no psychological pressure in selling Xixia.

They just feel...

Ren Decong, the Grand Commandant in front of the palace, said: "Brother, it is better to keep Li Renxiao as the emperor than to directly switch to the Song Dynasty. If Li Renxiao becomes the emperor, he can't control our Ren family.

If we had directly become ministers of the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid our carefree life would not be as good as it is now, right?"

"What you said makes sense!"

Ren Dejing nodded, but he didn't stroke his beard. He still hasn't developed the habit of stroking his beard.

He felt uncomfortable.

"But the Sichuan envoy of the Song Dynasty does not want to accept the peace talks."

Ren Dejing said calmly: "Hexi is about to fall. Do you think Hetao can be spared?"

Ren Dejing was very patient with the Ren family.

Although he did not really regard the Ren family as his own relatives because of the years of getting along with them, in these years, all the people in the Ren family trusted and respected him and never disobeyed him.

No matter what he wanted to do, the members of the Ren clan were willing to work for him.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Naturally, he has feelings for the Ren family and wants to create a better situation for them.

"If we don't take him in, he will come with his troops. We are powerless to deal with his cannons now."

Ren Degong, the Prince of Kaifeng, said with a sigh, "What a pity! With the power of our Ren family today, it would have been enough to step on Li Renxiao and let my eldest brother become the emperor. Now that he has turned against the Song Dynasty and pledged his loyalty, my eldest brother can no longer be the prime minister." Ren Dejing said calmly, "It makes no difference. The titles are different, but the authority is the same."

In recent years, Ren Dejing would occasionally say something that sounded strange to everyone. It was probably learned from those eccentrics in "Yipintang", so the Ren family members didn't think it was strange.

Ren Dejing said: "Kill Li Renxiao and offer the country to the Song Dynasty. Who will be in charge of governing the Xixia land?"

His eyes slowly swept over the crowd and said, "Decong, you may not still be the Grand Commandant in the future, but your authority will actually be greater than it is now.

Chunzhong, you may not be the deputy chief of the Privy Council in the future, but your power will still be greater than it is now."

After hearing this, all the members of the Ren family understood, and they prepared themselves mentally very quickly and started to get ready to go.

Ren Deren, the Southern Court Xuanhui Envoy, said excitedly, "Brother, when are we going to do it and how are we going to do it?"

Look, the people in Lao Ren’s family are so cute.

Ren Dejing smiled slightly and asked, "Decong, how many troops are there in the Xingqing Prefecture area that you cannot control or indirectly control?"

Ren Decong said: "There are only five garrison troops directly under the emperor, Hukong, Datong, Weidi, Xuanwei and Mingsha."

Ren Degong, the prefect of Kaifeng, said: “The three armies of Mingsha, Xuanwei and Weidi are all stationed outside the imperial city, at different distances.

The only ones who had time to intervene in the change of the imperial city were the Tiger Control Army and the Datong Army. "

Ren Deren, the Southern Court Xuanhui Envoy, said: "These five armies are directly controlled by the royal family, and we cannot interfere.

However, the Mingsha Army is more than a hundred miles away from the Imperial City. As long as we deal with Hukong and Datong, the overall situation will be settled."

"Well, this is what I'm going to do..."

Ren Dejing nodded and told him his plan.

The soul hidden in this body is not a waste.

She is an elite in the crisis public relations industry in the modern world.

She is thoughtful, quick-witted, and good at discovering, analyzing and solving problems.

Many of Yang Yuan's ways of thinking for solving problems were taught to him by her.

What's more, she inherited Ren Dejing's memory and therefore possessed Ren Dejing's knowledge.

The Ren family members habitually responded to the arrangements made by the patriarch by obeying him.

So, as soon as Ren Dejing opened his mouth, they immediately held their breath and listened.

……

The crescent moon is like a hook.

From time to time, crickets chirped in the grass. All around was quiet and the night was hazy.

Under the crabapple tree, the fragrance of lilac wafts in the air.

Queen Mother Ren Muyan of Western Xia stood quietly under the flower trees.

The night wind fluttered the ribbon around her waist, revealing the curve of her slender waist.

Next to him, there was a maid serving him.

It seems like this empress dowager, who entered the palace at the age of 17, was crowned queen at the age of 18, and became a widow at the age of 19, wandered around the palace on spring nights to relieve her loneliness.

However, if you get closer, you will find that the old nanny in the palace is whispering something to Ren Muyan.

Queen Mother Ren listened quietly, spread out her palms, and the moonlight poured into her palms, making her skin look like frost.

Li Renxiao was not her son. She had no children. She was crowned queen after one year in the palace. It was not because of her son's status or her family's influence, but because of her beauty.

Now that her own father is rebelling, she has no choice.

If the plan fails, the entire Ren family will be destroyed, and she, as Ren Dejing's biological daughter, will not have a good ending either.

Probably a three-foot white silk to send her off.

She knew how powerful her family was in Western Xia.

If the Ren family was not so powerful, how could Li Renxiao be so respectful to her and greet her every day, rain or shine.

However, there are still many Western tribes loyal to the Tuoba clan. If they fail...

Her family might be able to escape, but she was in the deep palace and had no way to escape.

Ren Muyan suddenly felt a little cold. She crossed her arms and looked up at the sky in silence.

Because of the action of hugging his arms, two full moons appeared on his chest.

However, in the dark blue sky, there was only a crescent moon and faint stars.

She dedicated her life to her family.

Because of her existence, the Ren family was able to survive.

It was also because of her that the Ren family prospered.

Now, she has to continue to contribute to her family.

This is probably how life is.

Under the flower trees, there was a faint sigh, as gentle as the spring evening breeze.

Under the same starry sky, Luo Cheng'an was also sighing at this time.

He didn't expect that he would walk out of Tianshui of the Song Dynasty and Guyuan of the Jin Dynasty.

As a result, as soon as they passed Sanchuan Village and entered the territory of Western Xia, he, Yan Qingyu, Yue Peiying and others were captured by local officers and soldiers.

Among them, there were actually spies who had long been instigated by Ren Dejing to defect.

Isn't it said that Ren Dejing is a man who doesn't employ people he doubts, and trusts people he employs, and who has a broad mind and is truly a hero of his generation?
This doesn't match the legend. Why does he look like a woman?

A thirty-year-old mother is still a stubborn child. Now she is doomed.
