Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the Khitan people are brutal, decades of Chineseization have gradually softened these tough knights from the grasslands outside the Great Wall. In addition, the Khitan Empire's military system that combines soldiers and civilians does not require high taxes to raise troops, and there is no need to pay high taxes to raise troops.  The Han dynasty had so many redundant officials to support, and there were no insurgent armies to invade them. Compared with the people of the Central Plains during the Five Dynasties, the Han people in Yanjing actually lived a better life.  After the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for the two brief encounters with weapons at the founding of the country, the people of Yanjing had actually not seen what war was like for more than a hundred years. Yanjing also became more and more prosperous, as if the peaceful days would always be like this.  continue.  But the rise of the Jurchens broke all this. If the war before the third year of Xuanhe was just an increase in prices, various rumors, and an increase in labor, by the third year of Xuanhe, the threat of the Jurchens  It was as direct and realistic as the biting cold wind blowing from the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain.  Emperor Liao Tianzuo, who represents the supreme imperial power, has fled to Xijing. There are even rumors that he has fled to distant Mobei. The people of Yanjing who have been accustomed to a peaceful and prosperous life are like a person caught in a heavy rain, becoming panicked.  I became confused and looked for every object that could block the rain.  Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, according to the official system of the Liao Dynasty, the court was divided into a northern and southern official system, with northern officials managing tribes and southern officials managing Han counties and counties.  When setting up a left-behind guard in Youzhou, Nanjing, the emperor's younger brother or uncle was often appointed to serve. In name, it was to prepare for the Song Dynasty, but in fact it also had the role of monitoring Han officials.  At this time, Yelu Chun, who was left behind in Nanjing, was the uncle of Emperor Liao Tianzuo and had a noble status. At this time, he lost contact with the central center where Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty was, and his people's hearts were shaken.  There is no doubt that this is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the entire Yanjing City and even the Youzhou Han region.  In front of the door of the Liushou Mansion, there was a mass of human heads, and a dense crowd of people kneeling on their knees. Judging from the clothing, there were Han'er wearing cloth robes and plain heads, as well as Khitans and Khitans wearing velvet hats and leather robes.  There are even bald-headed monks among the Xi people.  These people, with huge differences in status, wealth, and race, all looked at the closed red door with solemn and expectant eyes at this time. The usually arrogant and domineering guards of the left-behind mansion no longer shouted and drove everyone away.  , but also looked at the house anxiously, as if something related to their fate was happening inside.  Stay in the back hall of the mansion.  There are many crowns and ribbons.  If you pay a little attention, you will find that all the important ministers and celebrities in Yanjing City are gathered here, and everyone has a solemn look on their face, as if they have something to say but dare not say it.  "Brother-in-law!" The first person to speak was Xiao Qian, the king of Xi Liubu and the general manager of the East Route Army.  He also has the identity of being the brother of Xiao Puxian, Yelu Chun's wife.  The relationship with Yelu Chun is the closest.  So he was the first to speak in the hall: "There are so many people here now, and there are more than 10,000 Yanjing people outside the house. Please give me an answer!" Although he has a noble status.  But he still hasn't broken away from Xi Ren's simple nature, his character is straightforward, and he is already a little impatient in his words.  "Go back to Libao!" At this time, Yelu Chun's face was pale and he was much older than a few years ago. He called Xiao Qian by his Khitan name: "You and I are both officials of the Liao Dynasty. We can't even think about such things.  It¡¯s all a sin. How do you want me to answer?¡± Xiao Qian became anxious when he heard this: ¡°The ministers of the Liao Dynasty are good, but the emperor must be like an emperor, so that we ministers must have someone in Yanjing City.  The person in charge, if it hadn¡¯t been for Yelvbaisi¡¯s incident, the position of emperor would have been yours! ¡ª¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Yeluchun shouted, interrupting Xiao Qian¡¯s words.  He is familiar with poetry and books, has a good Confucian education, and has a humble personality. Not to mention the powerful Xi clan dignitaries like Xiao Qian, he rarely speaks harshly to ordinary Han officials.  At this time, his face was full of anger, and his eyebrows were raised high. Even a military general like Xiao Qian who had experienced the battlefield unconsciously lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.  "You and I are both ministers of the Liao Dynasty, and we must know the difference between the superior and the inferior. I have received overwhelming kindness from two generations of emperors, and I can hardly repay it even if I am broken into pieces. If I hear these words again, I will  I can¡¯t remember the feelings of relatives!¡± Ye Luchun¡¯s voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall knew that he was definitely not joking!  Xiao Qian was already sweating profusely and hurriedly stood up to plead guilty.  "King Wei!" Someone on the side laughed and said, "Although Xiao Dutong spoke a little recklessly, his words are correct. There must be someone in charge in Yanjing City!" Yelu Chun looked back and saw  Although the man speaking was over sixty years old, he had a square mouth and straight nose, white face and beard, but he was a rare handsome man. He was none other than Li Chuwen, a minister of the Han Dynasty.  head.  Yelu Chun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Does this king have nothing to do now?" "Haha!" Li Chuwen laughed twice and asked: "If the Jin man breaks through and is invincible, is it a battle?  Surrender? Can King Wei take charge?¡± ¡°This¡ª¡ª¡± Yelu Chun suddenly became speechless.?Staying behind, but after all, he is not the emperor. He can decide whether to fight or to defend, but whether to surrender is not within his power.  And he had also gone to Liaodong to deal with the Jin people, and he knew the terrifying fighting power of the Jin people. With Yan's poor military strength now, to resist the Jin people in hundreds of battles, it was like driving newborn lambs to resist the tigers.  .  Not to mention the actions of the Southern Dynasty in the past few years, he did not think that a piece of paper written more than a hundred years ago could stop the Southern Dynasty's army from moving north.  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.  "The King of Wei, the sage said: 'Sister-in-law, the one who lends a helping hand is the right!'. Today, Zibo has moved and the country has no owner. The King of Wei temporarily takes over his throne and presides over the affairs of the government. This is great loyalty! That's it!  A hundred years later, when King Wei came to the front of his ancestors, he had nothing to fear!" "Xiangong Li's words make sense!" Yelu Chun said with a bitter smile, "Why is it that I, Yelu Chun, am already nearly sixty years old?  If his energy is declining, it would be fine if he were in peace. How can he ascend to the rank of Ninth Five-Year Plan at this time? "He was really not pretending at this time. The situation in the Liao Kingdom at that time was already extremely bad. The most important thing was  The military power has either been eliminated by the Jin people or is still following Emperor Tianzuo. He can only control the seven or eight states and counties on Youzhou Road. To the north are the tiger and wolf-like Jin people, and to the south are the Jin people who have been coveting the land of Yanyun for a long time.  In the Southern Dynasties, the Han people in Yan State were ruled by wavering minds.  Yelu Chun is already nearly sixty years old. How can he still think about sitting on the emperor's throne like a red-hot iron?  "King Wei, in terms of relatives, you are our direct uncle, no one in Yanjing City can match you; in terms of talents, your father and son have guarded Yanjing and the Han Dynasty for decades, and you have been kind to the people; in terms of abilities,  You created the Resentful Army. Who else could control this rebellious army? " "This!" After hearing what Li Chuwen said, Yelu Chun couldn't help but be speechless. It was indeed as Li Chuwen said, the first two times.  Forget about Xiang Dao. At that time, there were not many military forces belonging to the Khitan and Xi tribes in the Yan region, but the Yin Army became a decisive force. Anyone who wanted to ascend the throne must get their support, and Yelu  Chun Zai's military experience in forming the Resentful Army in Liaodong to attack the Jin people in the fifth year of Tianqing's reign (1115) became a very important asset. No matter how uncertain the Resentment Army was about its rebellion, he and the middle and high-level generals of the Resentment Army  He has quite a lot of connections, which no Khitan relative has.  Li Chuwen saw that Yelu Chun did not express any objection, so he went out to worship Yelu Chun and said, "How dare Li Chuwen, a humble minister, love the king of Wei and become the emperor!" Li Chuwen's actions were like a signal. Whether they were Han officials, Khitan people or Xi people, they all  They all stood up, danced and prostrated, and said loudly: "How dare Li Chuwen, a humble minister, love the king of Wei and become the emperor!" "This, this!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Yelu Chun couldn't help but be at a loss.  Like this, he gently winked at his son Li Shuang, the young eunuch behind him. Li Shuang jumped up knowingly, put an ocher brocade robe that he had prepared long ago on Yelu Chun, and was the first to kneel down.  , shouting loudly: "Long live, long live, long live!" Yelu Chun's body seemed to have been burned by charcoal fire, he twitched, jumped up, and reached out to pull off the brocade robe on his body, but Li Chuwen kneeled down.  He took two steps, hugged his legs, and said loudly: "If the King of Wei refuses to succeed, what will happen to the world? What will happen to the people of Yanjing? What will happen to the ancestors?" Li Chuwen's question was like a heavy blow.  Hitting the opponent's target, Yelu Chun slumped down on his seat and sighed: "That's it, that's all. I am a descendant of the Yelu family. I have enjoyed wealth for decades. Let's do something for the people of Yanjing today!" Liushou Mansion  Outside, the people of Yanjing endured their anxiety and looked at the red lacquer door, as if they could see through the walls and doors with their eyes and see what was happening inside the house.  Suddenly, with a creaking sound, the door opened.  A group of people walked out of the gate and stood in two groups.  The sharp-eyed people have clearly seen that they are all high-ranking officials from the Khitan, Xi, and Han people. They hold their breaths and wait for the critical moment to arrive.  "Today Zibao moved, King Wei Yelu Chun stayed in Nanjing to temporarily take over the throne of the emperor and handle the affairs of the court. All officials in the court were promoted to one level, and the people of Yanjing Prefecture and County were given another year!" followed the high-pitched voice of the attendant.  The people in Yanjing who were watching shouted loudly and knelt on the ground. Many people's eyes were filled with tears.  "Go back to Libao!" In the crowd, a burly Khitan nobleman wearing a fur robe whispered to Xiao Qian standing aside: "Those guys are very smart, and they actually took the great credit of supporting the establishment!"
