"Since the beginning of the rectification of the imperial court's regulations, the rules need to be re-established. Although I have been in the dormitory in the past few years and have a certain understanding of the court's ethos, I did not expect that the situation is so serious. I am delayed in doing things and lax in my administration. This style must be strict.
Rectification! The late emperor was too lenient in his administration and was too lenient with his ministers. He has not updated it for more than ten years. How can the whole court not become lazy!" Yelvxian looked at Han Derang and said seriously, with a strong tone in his tone.
Seeing Yelvxian's resolute look, Han Derang smiled calmly and responded: "Your Majesty, I have been studying literature and politics in recent years, and I have also been paying attention to the governance of the Southern Dynasties. I discovered that during the twenty-three years of Emperor Han's reign, every three or five years
In the year, there will be a rectification of the court and local areas, either to clean up the political style, to deal with corruption, or to improve the system.
In the process of implementing the system and governing the people, if any problems arise, they can be corrected in time, and even summarized and customized.
In the past twenty years, the Southern Dynasty has also continued to develop amidst continuous adjustments and changes. It still maintains a clear and clear political environment. Its national power continues to rise and it is so coercive that Daliao does not dare to compete with it rashly.
The power and prestige of the Han Emperor also continued to increase in this process..."
Mentioning this, Yelvxian was obviously very interested and said: "I also know and have observed that when I heard about the rule of the Southern Dynasty, I felt both admiration and fear in my heart! The Han Emperor was really a difficult opponent.
As soon as he became famous, Daliao suffered many setbacks! Without this person, perhaps Daliao would have taken control of the Central Plains and even unified the world today!"
The tone is full of emotion. Looking back on history, there is always infinite regret, and it is inevitable to make some imaginary thoughts. From the standpoint of the Liao Kingdom, the key figure who changed the situation between the north and the south and established the current pattern of China is Emperor Liu.
.
Of course, history has already gone through a turning point and embarked on such a new path, which was bleak for the Liao and brilliant for the Han. What the Liao monarchs and ministers did not understand was that even without Emperor Liu, the Liao's entry into the Central Plains was just a delusion.
Even in its heyday, it was difficult to succeed in the face of the "weak Song Dynasty".
"China is a country with a long history and outstanding people. Whenever there is a crisis, there are always heroes born, and heroes come together to turn the tide!" Yelvxian sighed again: "I have never heard of the name of the Han Emperor? Han Qing is knowledgeable and knows it well.
Do you know the situation in the Southern Dynasties?"
Facing Yelvxian's curious eyes, Han Derang smiled and said: "The original name of the Han Emperor was Chengyou, with the courtesy name Yuanji. After he ascended the throne, he changed his name to Hao!"
"Han Qing is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable!" As he said that, Yelvxian's eyes showed a little yearning and said: "If Daliao wants to enter the Central Plains and dominate the world, it must carry out thorough reforms and actively integrate!"
Yelvxian glanced at Han Derang. This was once again revealing his political philosophy. Of course, this was a conclusion reached after in-depth research and careful consideration.
Before Yelu Deguang established the Liao Dynasty and during the thirty years when the Khitans also rose to prominence, it was difficult to make a breakthrough when the Central Plains was in chaos. Before Liang was destroyed, Li Cunxu even used a small corner of the country to fight back and forcefully defeated Yelu.
Abaoji's ambition to go south.
Yelu Abaoji was forced to turn his troops to the front and attack the Bohai Kingdom. Even if the annexation of the Bohai Kingdom was a strategic progress and improvement for the Liao Kingdom, how could it have happened if it had not suffered losses in the south?
Decision-making. The so-called prosperous country of Haidong can still be compared with the vast and fertile Central Plains.
Even if Yelv Deguang destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it would only be after several conquests, which exhausted the country's power, and caused problems in the later Jin Dynasty itself, and there was a prerequisite for Shi Jingtang to cede Youyun.
Therefore, when Yelvxian first came to the throne, he showed his ambition to reform and enterprising, avenge his humiliation, and go south to the Central Plains. Han Derang could only express his appreciation and emotion, and would also try his best to assist and make suggestions.
However, Handerang's inner thoughts are definitely not optimistic. If you want to occupy China and compete in the Central Plains, it is far from just doing well on your own and being strong enough. The most important thing is to give opportunities to the south.
But it is obvious that given the current situation of the Han Empire in the Southern Dynasties, it is basically delusional for the Liao Kingdom to pursue it. Even under the consistent strong posture of the Han Dynasty in recent years, it is even rare to be able to defend the country and preserve the foundation of the Liao Dynasty.
Already.
Han Derang did not express this point, so as not to ruin Yelvxian's popularity. This young emperor had the determination to change and the ambition to make progress, which was beneficial to the development of the Liao Kingdom.
As it is said, Daliao has gradually declined in recent years!
Looking at Yelu Xian, Han Derang thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to refresh the government, and I admire you very much. However, I think that at the moment, His Majesty is in the imperial palace for the first time, and he has been in Beijing for the first time, and the country is not at peace, so it is not appropriate to worry about it. In the end,
If it is critical, the Han Dynasties in the Southern Dynasty have to be more vigilant and be more vigilant. If the external affairs are uneasy, the internal affairs will be uneasy!"
After Han Derang finished speaking, Yelvxian frowned immediately, his expression became very serious, and he asked in a solemn voice: "Han Qing thinks that the Southern Dynasty will take action?"
Han Derang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I dare not make a conclusion, but I have to take precautions! I have observed the measures taken by the Southern Dynasty since the founding of the Bao Year, marching westward and southward, and expanding continuously. Therefore, in the old Tang Dynasty, the rest are all ministers of the Liao Dynasty.
Well, with the ambition and ambition of the Han emperor, how could he just sit back and watch.
At present, among the four territories of the Southern Dynasties, only the Liao and the Han had conflicts and conflicts. Only the Liao could pose a threat to them. How could the Han emperor tolerate this given his headstrong and strong character?
Although the political affairs in Daliao were weak before, the country was still peaceful and the Han Dynasty did not dare to move. Now that the late emperor has been killed, His Majesty is in charge of the emperor, and the old and the new have replaced each other. This is a good opportunity to mobilize troops. Based on the Han Emperor's grasp of the opportunity in the past, he may not be able to do so.
Thinking of the Northern Expedition!
Moreover, with the power of the Han Emperor in the Southern Dynasty, if he is determined, no one in the Southern Dynasty can stop him!"
Hearing what Han Derang said, Yelvxian's back straightened up subconsciously, his face gradually became serious, and he murmured: "We have to be cautious about this matter. Last year, after the late emperor met with the Han emperor, he bluntly said that the Southern Dynasty had plots against me. The late emperor
Although he did not announce the death of the deceased, he took the initiative to send Wang Zhaoyuan to pay homage. The former emperor's uncle also reported that he went to Beijing to conduct secret operations in the Southern Dynasties, and conducted frequent spies..."
"I heard that the Han Emperor is still on his way to patrol the west. Even if he wants to, how can he launch it in a short time? It is said that he has always made plans before taking action. Whenever there is a war, he is always well prepared! As long as I and Daliao are given a certain amount of time...
..."
Before Yelvxian could finish his words, he saw someone hurriedly appear, almost forcing his way into the palace regardless of the waiter's obstruction. The person who came was none other than Gao Xun, the newly-appointed Southern Privy Envoy. Seeing his appearance, Yelvxian couldn't help but frown.
Down.
Gao Xun was from a good family background. His father had a high status in the Central Plains, and he himself was both civil and military. He had been in the Liao for more than 20 years and was highly regarded, and he had made a lot of achievements in the Liao Kingdom.
However, people with high talents are often arrogant. Gao Xun is like this. He is domineering and rude in dealing with others. This time, he was promoted to a higher position due to his support, but he was still not satisfied. When facing himself, his attitude was somewhat helpless.
present.
Gao Xun did not care about Yelvxian's expression, but directly reported: "Your Majesty, the Southern and Northern Expeditions have begun!"
"What!" Yelvxian and Han Derang changed their expressions at the same time.
"Previously, border states came to report that there were unusual movements in the north of the Southern Dynasty, so I ordered more detectives. Just then, I received the urgent report, and the Han Emperor officially issued an edict for the Northern Expedition!" Gao Xun reported.
Taking a deep breath, Yelvxian tried to stabilize his mind: "How many people are there? How is the progress?"
"The troops were divided into four groups with 500,000 infantry and cavalry. The Southern Dynasty was obviously well prepared. If it didn't move, it would be nothing. If it moved, it would be thunderous. The Han army might have mobilized its troops as early as half a month ago..."
For a moment, Yelvxian didn't even listen to what Gao Xun said. The message "Half a million cavalry" flashed in his mind repeatedly. Even though the city was rich, his expression was a little tense at this time.
It was obviously white, and the one hidden under the sleeve was trembling involuntarily...
On the side, Handerang lost his calm and measured expression at this time. He really did whatever he said, and it came so suddenly and so suffocatingly.
"Your Majesty!" Han Derang whispered after noticing Yelvxian's strange behavior.
After coming back to his senses, Yelvxian trembled, looked at Handerang and Gao Xun, showed a pale smile, and said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty must have some intentions for me. He passed the imperial edict and discussed matters in the main hall..."
