Chapter 86 The Disaster of National Destruction Caused by the Emperors of the Past

[Second: The eighth emperor of Western Xia, Emperor Shenzong of Xia, Li Zunxu.

In the second year of Huangjian in Western Xia, Li Zunxu deposed Emperor Xianzong of Xia, Li Anquan, and proclaimed himself emperor.

Li Zunxu was a top-ranking emperor, but his ability was not very prominent. During his governance, he even caused the Western Xia to decline drastically, sounding the death knell of the Western Xia.

At the beginning of Li Zunxu's accession to the throne, Western Xia faced several attacks and lootings by the Mongolian army. Western Xia had no ability to fight back and was forced to submit and pay tribute. In addition, land annexation was severe, social contradictions intensified, and the country was unstable, with internal and external troubles.

When Li Zunxu was emperor, he often acted on impulse and handled things inappropriately.

At the beginning, the ruler of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Xuanzong Wanyan Xun, wanted to unite with Western Xia to fight against Mongolia, but was rejected by Li Zunxu.

Li Zunxu pursued the strategy of joining forces with Mongolia to invade Jin, so Western Xia chose to attack Jin. On the other hand, after Jin agreed to all of Mongolia's unreasonable demands and Mongolia withdrew its troops, it turned around and attacked Western Xia with all its might.

From the time Li Zunxu ascended the throne and began to attack Jin until the sixth year of Guangding, Western Xia was defeated in many wars between Xia and Jin. Finally, in the sixth year of Guangding, Western Xia could no longer hold on and withdrew its troops.

But at this time, the Mongolian army, which had been eyeing them covetously, came again.

In the seventh year of Guangding, the Mongolian army surrounded Zhongxing Prefecture, and Li Zunxu went to Xiliang and ordered Crown Prince Li De to stay behind. At this time, the roles were reversed, and Li Zunxu wanted to make peace with Jin and jointly attack Mongolia.

But at this time, Jin Xuanzong was tough. What did he mean by "If you want to negotiate peace, then negotiate peace. If you want to fight, then fight!"

Moreover, Jin Xuanzong is now pursuing a policy of making up for the losses in the north with the losses in the south. All the lands that Jin lost in its defeat by Mongolia in the north will be recovered from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Jin Xuanzong directly rejected Xixia's peace proposal and only wanted to fight.

In the eighth year of Guangding, Li Zunxu sent envoys to Sichuan, wanting to join forces with the Southern Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Dynasty. However, after the two countries established an alliance, their joint attack on the Jin Dynasty resulted in heavy casualties.

So Li Zunxu jumped again and chose to rely on Mongolia.

In the twelfth year of Guangding, under the threat of the Mongolian army, Li Zunxu sent troops to attack the Jin Dynasty.

However, during the attack on the Jin Dynasty, Western Xia could no longer bear it. Years of war had weakened the country's national strength, so Western Xia withdrew its troops.

However, Mongolia is unhappy and asked you to attack the Jin Dynasty with me. How can you withdraw your troops?

In the 14th year of Guangding, Mongolia forced Li Zunxu to abdicate and pass the throne to his second son Li Dewang in order to better control Western Xia.

At the same time, Mongolia sent troops again, plundered everywhere, and captured Zhongxing Prefecture. Li Zunxu fled to Xiliang.

A year later, the Mongolian army captured the cities in Hexi of Western Xia. Li Zunxu died of illness at the age of 64, and was posthumously named Emperor Shenzong.

<Isn’t it the same as what King Wei Shao of Jin said when Xixia was attacked by Mongolia?

"When enemies attack each other, it is a blessing for our country. Why worry about it?" He refused to send troops to help Xixia, so after Li Zunxu ascended the throne, he immediately went to seek revenge on Jin Kingdom, leaving you to watch them die without helping...>

<I have to say, Emperor Shenzong of Xia and Emperor Xuanzong of Jin are really a perfect pair [laughing and crying]>

<So their logic is: Mongolia>Xixia>Jin>Southern Song>Mongol envoy>

<Southern Song Dynasty: Allied with Mongolia to fight against Jin Dynasty!!!>

<The logic of Jin Xuanzong's "losing the north and making up for the south" is also very strange>

<Song and Jin are feuding for generations after all [狗头]>

<Jin proposed to make up for the loss in the north with the loss in the south, but in the end, it still couldn't defeat the Southern Song. After all, it wasn't when the country was first established, and it doesn't have that strength now>

<Xixia really offended all the surrounding countries hhh>

<While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains.>

<I understand. Xixia was finished on its own>

<The Western Xia, Jin, and Southern Song are really interesting>

<To be honest, I feel like this is an insult to Emperor Shenzong of Song. Emperor Shenzong of Song is much better than Emperor Shenzong of Xia and Emperor Shenzong of Ming…>

<Xia Shenzong and Jin Xuanzong are really perfect replicas of Liao Tianzuo Emperor and Northern Song Huizong [covering face]>

<To be honest, Xixia is already pretty good. It has been established for more than 200 years. It was originally weaker than its neighboring countries, and its resources were also scarce. Now it has outlasted Liao and Northern Song... it's good enough>

<Just realized that both names contain 顼>

<The strategy of joining forces with Jin to fight against Mongolia should be correct, but the alliance came too late [laughing and crying]>

......

Sharp comments from emperors of various dynasties in the Guangming period: Emperor Shenzong of Xia and Emperor Xuanzong of Jin acted on impulse and had no sense of the overall situation.

After watching so many light screens, Zhuge Liang already understood the true meaning of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. He coughed awkwardly. People in later generations are so unreasonable...

Xixia

Li Yuanhao lamented the difficulties of Xixia's future. More than two hundred years had passed, and it was still in the same place.

As long as the Liao Dynasty still exists, the Jurchens would probably not have an easy life.

"Where should we Dangxiang people go?"

Song Dynasty, the second year of Xining

"Is Li Zunxu also worthy?"

Song Shenzong Zhao Xu was furious. How could this be called Shenzong? !

"No wonder people say the temple name 'Shenzong' is not a good one."

Looking at what Emperor Xia Shenzong did, it is not difficult to know what good things Emperor Ming Shenzong would do later.

Zhao Xu constantly disliked Li Zunxu, the Emperor Shenzong of Xia. Not only did this man have the same temple name as himself, but his name also contained the character "Xu", which was really unlucky.

Wang Anshi felt somewhat disappointed, as Guangmu indeed stopped talking about the reform.

-------

Song Dynasty, the eighth year of Yuanyou

The ministers who had previously decided on the temple name for Song Shenzong Zhao Xu began to ask themselves this question.

When you gave the late emperor a temple name, you were thinking positively, right? You didn't add any sarcasm, right? You didn't intend to express your dissatisfaction, right?

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu learned from some marginal information on the light curtain that in the future the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, and that Mongolia was very powerful, and neither the Jin nor the Western Xia were its opponents.

Southern Song? From the map given by the light curtain, the Jin Kingdom occupied the north and part of the Liao Kingdom, while the Southern Song only had a piece of land in the south...

"Where's Zhao Ji? He hasn't come yet?"

Zhao Xu was furious. It was obvious that the Song Dynasty was still thriving, but the light curtain directly revealed that in the future Bianliang would be lost and the country would be driven south. This made Zhao Xu, who was preparing for drastic reforms, very uncomfortable.

Zhao Xu had no way to vent his anger, so he had to blame it all on Zhao Ji, not caring that Zhao Ji was just a child now.

The court officials have different thoughts. Could it be that the emperor is still thinking of employing people from the New Party?

The light curtain's hint is so obvious, why don't the officials understand and insist on making changes?

Golden State

When Jin Xizong Wanyan Tan saw that Xixia still dared to attack the Jin Dynasty, he said angrily: "The Dangxiang people are used to changing their attitude according to the situation. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know who to listen to."

Wanyan Zongbing hurriedly tried to stop Jin Xizong from using military force against Western Xia.

"Your Majesty, the Song Kingdom in the south is not at peace, especially now that they have a new emperor. The government is now in the hands of the war faction. If they see us going to war with Xixia, they will not sit idly by."

Jin Xizong suddenly realized that the current Song Dynasty was no longer the Song Dynasty that wanted to negotiate peace before. The current Song Dynasty was full of crazy people.

"I really don't understand where they get all that enthusiasm from."

This is a complaint that the enthusiasm of the Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, for the Northern Expedition is too fanatical.

"Qin Hui's chess piece is useless..."

Wanyan Zongbing saw that Jin Xizong had stopped thinking and said no more.

The Song Dynasty is in a very difficult situation now...

As for Jin Xuanzong, forget it, I won’t comment on him…
