Chapter 5: The First Meeting with the Great Liao Emperor (01)
In the past ten days, for the Great Liao Kingdom, it was a post-catastrophe rebirth. In the nineteen years since the accession of Ye Lujing of Liao Muzong, the Liao State has been since
The four tents of the "one tent and three rooms" royal family, down to the various tribes in the border areas that were conquered by the four generations of emperors of the Liao State, all felt depressed because of their stupidity and tyranny, harsh punishment, drunkenness and murder, and the political atmosphere in the court was also highly tense, and the conquered tribes in the frontier raised troops and rebelled many times.
Since the founding of Liao Taizu Abaoji to Shizong Yelu Ruan, a total of four emperors, to Jingzong Yelu Xian, then five emperors, but only Liao Muzong is the most mediocre and incompetent.
At the beginning of Liao Muzong's accession to the throne, because of his incompetence in governing the country, improper measures, and unpopularity, coupled with the imperial family's plot for the throne, there were many ambitious people, resulting in rebellions and rebellions in the imperial family occurred one after another, and then after putting down six rebellions in the imperial family, Yelu Jing felt that the emperor was safe and had no worries, so he indulged himself even more.
Drinking and having fun all day and night, followed by either long sleep, hunting, or killing for fun, the country's politics are wasted.
Because he has been drinking and sleeping for a long time, he got one
"The Sleeping King
". Also because Muzong Yelujing indulged himself for a long time and ignored state affairs, the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Central Plains replaced the Later Jin Dynasty and became the last Central Plains Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. Later Zhou seems to be six years, the second emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, a generation of Ming Jun Chai Rong drove a personal expedition, intending to recover the hometown of the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, Yelu Jing failed to take any strong measures. The direct consequence of Yelujing's inaction is that the Later Zhou army commanded by Chai Rong lightly took the Mo and Ying Prefectures that originally belonged to the sixteen states of Yanyun, as well as the Waqiao Pass controlled by the Liao army, a total of 17 counties, and restored the land of Guannan. After learning that Liao lost three passes and three states, and Youzhou was in an emergency, he was drunk and dreamed of death
The "sleeping king" Yelu Jing was very unimpressed, he said: "Sanguan was originally a Han land, and now it is returned to Han, why not lose it?" At the beginning of his reign, with the assistance of the young empress and a group of confidant ministers, he took a series of measures to correct the maladministration of the Muzong period, win the hearts of the people, and consolidate the fundamentals.
Internally, he first rewarded the ministers who had the merit of supporting the establishment, such as crowning the king of the Southern Courtyard Hanchen Gaoxun as the king of Qin, adding the Feilong maid Li as the political order and the Liao Palace palace deployment, adding the Taizu Temple to stabilize Han Kuangsi as the Shangjing guard, and soon crowned him as the king of Yan, and added the seal of Xiao Siwen as the privy envoy of the Northern Court and the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, and after his daughter Xiao Yanyan entered the palace, he was crowned Xiao Siwen Shangshuling, and soon he was named the king of Wei; Right
"One Tent Three Rooms" Four Tents The Respected Ministers of the Imperial Family, He Respects Much, such as the Seal Who played a decisive role in the succession process of the throne of Sejong and Muzong
"One account and three rooms" Meng's father's room of the north courtyard of the king Yelu house quality for Yu Yue, plus the Shizong Dynasty Yu Yue Yelu Bugu son Yelu Xian suitable for the inspection of the Taibao, give the promotion of loyalty and cooperation, soon add special jin, with the book of the door under the Ping Zhang, and then add the North Court privy envoy and serve the king, Xiping County; For the talented people in the various tribes in the Liao State, regardless of nationality and origin, he was eclectic and greatly promoted, such as crowning the Han official room as the prime minister of the Northern Court and repairing the history of the country, breaking the practice that only the Khitan nobles could be the prime minister of the Northern Court since the Liao State, and crowning the Han official Guo Xi as the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, and soon Guo Xi as the political order.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the authority of the Liao Emperor, especially to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the previous two generations of Liao emperors and queens in his own body, he strengthened the rectification, expansion and training of the Leather Room Army, the Praetorian Guard in charge of the emperor's guards, and vigorously promoted his cronies.
At the same time, he also used to:
"The Su guards were not strict, resulting in the assassination of Emperor Daxing", and traced the responsibility of Xiao Wuli, the right leather room army in charge of the Su guard at the time of Mu Zong's assassination, and the palace commander of the palace front division and the general of the palace front division personally controlled by the Liao Emperor to check the responsibility of Yelu Yila, and then executed them to deter the Praetorian Guard.
At the same time, on the one hand, he simplified the criminal law and the provincial endowment, and on the other hand, he sent Yelu Hugo and other generals to lead troops to patrol the border to defend the country, suppress the rebellion of various tribes, and stabilize the frontier.
Externally, he sent the king of the Northern Courtyard, Yelu Wuzhi, to lead an army to rescue the Northern Han and help the Northern Han resist the entry of the Song Dynasty army.
At the same time, it actively strengthened ties with other separatist forces in the Central Plains, carried out trade exchanges, vigorously developed the economy, and further studied the advanced culture of the Han nationality in the Central Plains.
In this way, under the governance of the young Great Liao Emperor Yeluxian, the Great Liao Kingdom was on the right track again and rejuvenated.
