Although the King of Xixia was already ready to surrender, he still felt very uncomfortable when it really came.

"King Xixia, why don't you speak, is it possible that you want to go back on your word?"

As soon as these words came out, the king of Xixia turned black, this Fan Rui really didn't give him any face.

"When did I say I was going to go back on my word?"

The King of Xixia stared at Fan Rui and asked.

Fan Rui looked calm, and said with a slight smile: "Since you don't want to go back on your word, then please hand over your credentials of surrender. Only in this way can you prove that you really want to surrender to our Kingdom of Liang."

With that said, Fan Rui stretched out his hand to the King of Xixia.

The King of Xixia hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the letter of surrender that had already been written, and handed it to Fan Rui.

"This is the letter of surrender I wrote. You take it back to your master. Also, bring a sentence to your master. I lost. I have nothing to say. I hope he will keep his promise and protect me Li The family is safe, and the people of Xixia are protected.”

Fan Rui took the letter of credence, glanced at it, handed it to the envoy who followed, bowed his hands to the King of Xixia, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will bring it to your Majesty intact."

After speaking, Fan Rui turned and left.

Chapter 420 Loyalty and Unyielding

Soon, Wu Tian received the letter of surrender from Fan Rui.

He looked carefully and smiled slightly: "Xixia has finally won, and now Huaxia is finally unified."

Fan Rui cupped his hands and conveyed the words of King Xixia.

Wu Tian nodded and said: "The king of Xixia doesn't have to worry about this point. From now on, Xixia will be part of the Liang Kingdom, and the people of Xixia will be my people, so I will love and respect him."

Fan Rui nodded.

"Since this is the case, I now ask you to reply to the King of Xixia with your majesty's words."

"Go."

Wu Tian waved his hand.

Fan Rui stepped back.

Seeing that Wu Tian had already made a promise, the King of Xixia no longer insisted, and agreed to leave the city to surrender tomorrow.

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and the king of Xixia led all the civil and military officials out of the city, and bowed down by the roadside to welcome Wu Tian.

Wu Tian led the generals out, accepted the surrender of the King of Xixia, helped him up, and said with a smile: "From now on, we are all one family. The unpleasant things in the past will disappear from now on. Xixia and Liang Guo will be one family from now on."

The king of Xixia had a guilty look on his face, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Your Majesty is willing to be broad-minded and not to care about the past with the humble minister. Please apologize to His Majesty."

Saying so, Wu Tian of the Western Xia Dynasty bowed.

Wu Tian stopped the Xixia King, and said with a smile: "I have already said just now, let him pass the past. From now on, we will never talk about the past again. Now I will make you the King of Guishun, and you will lead you His family went to live in Yecheng. As for the Xixia region, the tax will be exempted for three years, and at the same time, I will dispatch a large amount of food and money from the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Lingnan regions to help the people of Xixia restore the prosperity of Xixia in the past as soon as possible."

The King of Xixia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Wu Tian's words.

Although he lost the throne, at least he could save his life, and the people of Xixia could get a certain amount of subsidies.

"Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty."

Wu Tian nodded in satisfaction, and said to Fan Rui: "You will personally escort the King of Guishun to Yecheng. Remember, the King of Guishun must be settled well. If anything goes wrong, I can ask you to blame."

Fan Rui cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to the minister."

Wu Tian waved.

King Guishun summoned all the Li family members to follow Fan Rui on the train and went straight to Yecheng.

Sending off the Li family, Wu Tian led Guan Sheng and Hua Rong into Yinchuan City, and the people in the city knelt on both sides of the street to welcome them.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the people welcome us very much."

Hua Rong laughed.

Guan Sheng then said: "That's natural. Now they are the people of the Liang Kingdom, and they will be able to live a good life like the people of the Liang Kingdom in the future. They must be very friendly to us."

Wu Tian smiled slightly, but did not speak.

After entering the palace and ascending the throne, Wu Tian summoned the original civil and military ministers of Xixia to go to the palace.

"I just merged Xixia into the Liang Kingdom, and I don't know much about the affairs here, so I still need to rely on the original class of civil and military ministers present. Hubu Shangshu, please come out, I have something to ask you."

A middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a second-rank official stood up, with a long beard, bright eyes, and a righteous look.

He didn't salute Wu Tian, ​​but stared at Wu Tian with airs: "Your Majesty Liang, if you have any questions, just ask, this old man is the Minister of the Household Department."

Seeing him like this, Wu Tian was very unfriendly, and couldn't help but wrinkled his brows.

"Shangshu Hubu, Xixia is already the land of Liang State. You seem to disapprove of the emperor."

Hubu Shangshu smiled slightly and looked at Wutian calmly.

"Your Majesty, you said this yourself, but the minister didn't say it."

As soon as these words came out, Huarong couldn't sit still anymore, pointing to the Minister of the Household Department and shouted: "Old thief, you Xixia kings have already surrendered, what right do you have to show off your power here? If you don't want to surrender to our Daliang, you can Leave here. But since you are already here, answer our Majesty's words well. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Hubu Shangshu glanced at Hua Rong, and laughed out loud with contempt in his voice.

"Our king of Xixia surrendered for the sake of the people of Xixia. He was right. But I am an old man, so I don't have so many worries. Anyway, I will die anyway. I would rather die than surrender to you Daliang. This time, But I just want to take this opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with your Majesty. Wu Tian, ​​don't think that you have succeeded by occupying Xixia. I can tell you clearly that it is not over yet."

Wu Tian stared at Hubu Shangshu, his eyes were full of disdain.

He has already risked everything, for him, living is already superfluous.

After a long time, Wu Tian sighed, and said: "Shangshu Hubu, you don't want to surrender to me, I don't blame you. You go, I think you are a loyal person, so I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Hubu Shangshu laughed, turned and left.

Guan Sheng stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Wu Tian, ​​and said: "Your Majesty, this person is so ignorant of etiquette, I suggest killing him, so that the world can know that Liang Guo is not so easy to bully."

Wu Tian waved his hand to signal Guan Sheng to calm down.

"Forget it, I've already said that I don't care about the old man's matter, and you don't care about it. It's just that I don't want to see the same thing happen again. This time, I will definitely not be polite, so you are the last It’s good to be acquainted.”

The remaining civil and military ministers nodded again and again.

"The servant of the household department comes out."

A young man came out and cupped his hands towards Wu Tian: "The minister is the servant of the household department, what orders does your Majesty have?"
