Chapter 214 Yelvxian is preparing to rectify the Chao Gang
When the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty was in full swing and the entire northern Xinjiang was covered with war clouds, the Liao Kingdom, which was directly targeted by the army, was still in the transition period between the old and the new. Even some of the tribes in the cities on the border between Han and Liao were succeeded by new kings.
Before he could react to the news about his position, and his thoughts were still stuck in the nineteen-year Yingli era, he had to face the situation of the Han army pressing down on the border.
However, the Liao Kingdom's rule over its subordinates was still relatively stable after all. When the Han Dynasty finally showed its strength, most of the generals on the border were vigilant and prepared for defense. At the same time, a large number of emergency military information was quickly sent to Beijing.
The Hu tribe, which lives in the north and south of the Yinshan Mountains all year round, is also sensitive. Before the Han army gathered and the border was in emergency, they began to move north in large numbers. Before the Han cavalry arrived, they fled north and south in the desert.
Linhuang Mansion, Liao Shangjing is still the same Shangjing, but the owner has changed. After all, it is the capital of the country. After a period of appeasement, the nobles, officials and people of Shangjing also gradually accepted the rule of Tianzan Emperor Yelvxian.
In late spring, even the remote Saibei is full of vitality, and the people of Hu and Han have entered a busy state of production and life.
As for Yelvxian, he has been emperor for more than a month and is still in the adaptation stage. However, he adapted well and began to enter the role of Emperor of Daliao and began to rule this huge grassland empire.
During the more than a month since Yelvxian succeeded to the throne, there were not many changes in the Liao Kingdom, especially in terms of government affairs. Under Yelvxian's appeasement policy, it remained stable without many disturbances. After Yelvjing was executed,
The chaos during the period when the emperor's throne was suspended has become clear, and the fog has completely dissipated.
Of course, there were no changes in Shangjing during this period. At least the Liao Palace was renamed Yongxing Palace after Yelvxian took over, which was also the name of the palace he had previously lived in. At the same time, the main hall of the Shangjing Imperial City was named Chongzheng Palace.
In terms of the degree of Sinicization and his closeness to Han ministers, Yelvxian was obviously more in-depth than the previous emperors of the Liao Kingdom. Speaking of which, even Sinicization seems to be hereditary.
Yelvxian's grandfather Yelvbei, King of Dongdan, fled the Later Tang Dynasty after losing the throne, sought political asylum, and died in the Central Plains; not to mention his father Yelvruan, who liked Han classics and admired Han culture, and was enthroned after he won the throne.
All the queens were Han women, and the Khitan aristocrats' backlash over the use of Han ministers when they encountered rebellions; as for Yelv Xian himself, he had been influenced by Han culture since childhood. Why did Han Kuangsi and other Han ministers choose to support Yelv Xian so easily?
This is largely due to cultural proximity.
After Yelvxian ascended the throne, when he considered how to govern the Liao Kingdom well, he actually had a clear understanding. If he wanted the Liao Kingdom to become stronger and use it to fight against the Han Empire in the south, he had to reuse Han officials and
Continue to deepen the reform of the Han system.
In fact, after more than half a century of separation between Hu and Han, although there were some twists and turns, the degree of integration between Khitan and Han culture has been very high. Otherwise, Han, Geng and other Han aristocratic families would not have existed in Liao.
That kind of lofty political status holds a lot of real power.
Of course, they are also Khitanized Han people, but no matter what, the attitude within the Liao Kingdom towards Han subjects is accepting, and after so many years, they are all used to it.
Therefore, Yelvxian has the basis for in-depth sinicization reform of the Liao Kingdom. If he is given enough time to update and reform, and integrate the country, then it is conceivable that the Liao Dynasty will be more difficult to deal with in the future.
Perhaps it was because of this "foresight" and the ambition in his heart that Emperor Liu could not wait to launch the Northern Expedition, but did not intend to give Yelvxian this time.
After conferring awards on a group of clans, nobles, and ministers to achieve the purpose of appeasing and winning over people's hearts, Yelvxian began to take action. The goal was not to continue Chinese centralization of power, which was not urgent, but to stabilize the position and establish authority.
.
When Yelujing was murdered, there were two main generals responsible for guarding him. Yeluyila was inspected in front of the palace, and Xiao Wuli was the only one who kept a close eye on the right side of the palace. He did not take any action before taking the throne. After taking the throne, he became Yeluxian.
The object of authority.
Yelu Yila was dismissed from office and exiled because he behaved calmly during the seizure of the throne and saved his life. Xiao Wuli was not so lucky and was executed for the crime of ineffective guarding. The young Emperor of Liao showed his restrained gentleness.
The strength and determination behind his face were actually reflected in his proposal to execute all the personal servants and guards guarding the royal tent.
Of course, killing people to establish prestige is one thing, but on the other hand, with the title of emperor, he can legitimately control the military power. Xiao Siwen used his support, in addition to being promoted to a noble rank, he also led the Youpishi Army. As for Xiao Siwen
Su Weibingquan, Yelvxian chose his uncle Yelu Daoyin, who was a talented man with both civil and military skills.
Yelv Xian's three uncles who are still alive have all received certain rewards, either from the court or from the tribe, and were given positions of real power. There is a reason for nepotism. And Yelv Xian's family is a Khitan royal family with a high degree of Chineseization.
, if you don’t look at the name, but just look at the thoughts and temperament, there is no problem at all in saying that they are a Han family.
The other three clan uncles who were suspected of competing for the throne, Yelu Sage, continued to be imprisoned, and Yelu Dilie was soon dispatched to the Western Regions. When it became clear that there was a tendency to liquidate Taizong's descendants, many people turned their attention to Yue Yelu.
When it was necessary to take the photo, it was stopped abruptly, and he was still allowed to take charge of the national affairs, but he was given two deputies, Yelu Xianshi and Gao Xun, one Hu and one Han.
Even when Yelv Bishe took the initiative to resign as the King of Beiyuan, Yelv Xian refused. Instead, he frankly comforted him, saying that the emperor's uncle had the talent to manage politics and had no suspicion at all.
In comparison, Yelvxian transferred some Han ministers headed by Han Derang to serve as personal advisors, which seemed less conspicuous.
In the main hall, Yelvxian was sitting on the throne. Judging from his relaxed posture and harmonious atmosphere, he had already sat firmly, and the cold and lofty seat began to feel warm.
Although his energy was not so strong due to physical reasons, Yelvxian was in high spirits at this time. Sitting next to him was Han Derang, a handsome and well-educated minister.
Handerang talked eloquently, while Yelvxian asked questions from time to time, looking like they were having a great time talking to each other. What the monarch and his ministers were talking about were some of the issues that urgently needed to be corrected within the Liao Kingdom.
Although it is inevitable to mention some of Yelvjing's mistakes during his reign, neither of them cared about it that much. Of course, in the later period of Yelvjing's reign, although the overall situation was stable, within the Liao court, there was still
There are some political issues.
After all, he is a sleeping king who has ignored secular affairs for a long time. Even if there is no great chaos, it is impossible to say how healthy the government is. Especially in the administration of officials, there are many problems. The emperor treats them well or even indulges them.
It is inevitable that there will be violations of the law, favoritism, and neglect of government.
During this period, Yelvxian made no major moves against the imperial situation and kept everything as it was. However, during his silence, he carefully understood the situation and problems of the Liao court, discussed with Han Derang and others, and made policy preparations for rectification.
When a new king succeeds to the throne, there must always be something new!
After more than a month, Yelvxian has already made preliminary reform plans and plans!
