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

He looked carefully and smiled slightly: "Xixia has finally taken it down, and now China has finally unified it."

Fan Rui bowed and conveyed the words of the King of Xixia.

Wu Tian nodded and said, "The King of Xixia does not need to worry about this. Xixia will be part of the Liang Kingdom in the future. The people of Xixia will be my people, so I will naturally love it."

Fan Rui nodded.

"Since that's the case, I will now ask you to reply to the King of Xixia."

"Go."

Wu Tian waved his hand.

Fan Rui retreated.

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

The next day came, and the King of Xixia led all civil and military officials out of the city and bowed to the side of the road to greet Wu Tian.

Wu Tian led the generals out, accepted the surrender of the King of Xixia, helped him up, and smiled and said, "From the future, we will be a family, and the unpleasant things in the past will disappear from then on. Xixia and Liang Kingdom will be a family from now on."

The King of Xixia looked guilty and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Your Majesty is willing to be broad-minded and not to care about past matters with me. That is my blessing. But I am really sorry to Your Majesty in the past. Here I want to apologize to Your Majesty."

As he said that, Wu Tian of the Western Xia Dynasty bowed.

Wu Tian stopped the King of Xixia and smiled and said, "I have said just now. Let him go to the past. From now on, we will never talk about the past. I now give you the King of Sui, and you will lead your family to live in Yecheng. As for the Xixia area, three years of taxes will be exempted. At the same time, I will dispatch a large amount of food and money from the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Lingnan areas to help the people of Xixia restore the past prosperity of Xixia as soon as possible."

When the King of Xixia heard Wu Tian’s words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"I thank Your Majesty."

Wu Tian nodded with satisfaction and said to Fan Rui: "You will personally escort the Suishun King to Yecheng. Remember, you must settle the Suishun King. If something goes wrong, I can ask you for guilt."

Fan Rui bowed and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, leave this matter to me."

Wu Tian waved his hand.

The King of Sui Shun summoned all the members of the Li family to follow Fan Rui on the train and headed straight for Yecheng.

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

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

Hua Rong smiled.

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

Wu Tian smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

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

"I just incorporated Xixia into Liang State and don't know much about what's happening here, so I still need to rely on the former civil and military ministers present. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, please come out. I have something to ask you."

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

He did not salute Wu Tian, ​​but stared at Wu Tian with an airs on his face: "Your Majesty Liang State, just ask if you have anything to do. I am the Minister of Revenue."

Seeing that he was like this, Wu Tian was very unfriendly and couldn't help but frown.

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Xixia is now the land of Liang State. You seem to be very dissatisfied with me, the emperor."

The Minister of Revenue smiled slightly and looked at Wu Tian calmly.

"Your Majesty, this is what you said yourself, I didn't say it."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Rong couldn't sit still and pointed at the Minister of Revenue and shouted: "Old thief, your King of Xixia has surrendered. What qualifications do you have to show off your power here? If you are unwilling to surrender to our Daliang, you can leave here. But since you are already here, please answer your Majesty's words. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

The Minister of Revenue looked at Huarong and laughed loudly, with contempt in his voice.

"Our King of Xixia surrendered for the sake of the people of Xixia. He did this right. But I, an old man, don't have so many concerns. Anyway, I'm dead, and I would rather die than surrender to you Daliang. This time, I just took this opportunity to talk to your Majesty in person. Wu Tian, ​​don't think that you have succeeded after occupying Xixia. I can tell you clearly that it's not over yet."

Wu Tian stared at the Minister of Revenue, his eyes full of disdain.

He has already made his promise, and for him, living is already unnecessary.

After a long time, Wu Tian sighed and said, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, if you don't want to surrender to me, I don't blame you. Let's go, I think that you are a loyal and righteous person, so I won't be as knowledgeable as you."

The Minister of Revenue laughed and turned around and left.

Guan Sheng stepped forward, bowed to Wu Tian, ​​and said, "Your Majesty, this person is so unaware of etiquette. I suggest killing him so that the world knows that our Liang Kingdom is not so easy to bully."

Wu Tian waved his hand and signaled Guan Sheng to calm down.

"Forget it, I have already said that I don't care about the old man's affairs, so don't worry about it. But next time, I don't want to see the same thing happen again. This time, I will never be polite, so you'd better know more."

The remaining civil and military ministers nodded repeatedly.

"The Minister of Revenue came out."

A young man walked out and bowed to Wu Tian: "I am the Minister of Revenue. I don't know what His Majesty has to give?"

Wu Tian glanced at the Minister of Revenue. He turned out to be a young man in his early twenties. He smiled slightly and said, "You can be the Minister of Revenue in Xixia at such a young age. You are really promising. I ask you, how much population does the Xixia treasury still have and how much money does it have in the treasury?"

The Minister of Revenue thought for a moment and bowed his hand and said, "There is still a population of about five million in Xixia, and the treasury has seven million taels of silver, which is enough to support it for two years."

Wu Tian nodded and said, "Okay, take out all the money in the Xixia treasury to help the common people in the Xixia. In addition, in two days, I will ask someone to transfer a batch of super rice to come, and you will be responsible for educating the Xixia people to plant. Within three years, I will not collect any taxes from the Xixia people, and all the things grown by the people are their own. But if there are people who do not plant and cause trouble, I will never be polite. The first thing I bear is you, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

The Minister of Revenue's face suddenly turned pale.

Wu Tian smiled and continued, "You don't have to be afraid of the Minister of Revenue. If you do this, I will appoint you as Xixia Duke, also serve as the governor of the Northwest, and manage the entire Xixia region."

Hearing this, the Minister of Revenue was very happy and knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Tian.
