Han Shizu

Chapter 1252 The New King of Liao
Due to the delay in the first half of the trip, even if he traveled lightly after passing Chang'an, it would be late February when Emperor Liu rushed back to Xijing.However, during this period of time, from Emperor Liu's side, post cavalry were dispatched one after another, and a large number of military orders were conveyed to the Han frontier army stationed in the north. Order.

Regarding the reaction and handling of this matter, other people dared not say anything, but Prince Liu Yang rarely took the initiative to speak to Emperor Liu, pointing out that something was wrong.

When they were in Chang'an, the father and son had already communicated fully, and Liu Yang also knew that Emperor Liu's Northern Expedition had been decided and could not be easily changed, nor did he intend to dissuade him.He just pointed out that the great event of the Northern Expedition requires the joint efforts of the whole country, the mobilization of internal and external forces, and the close cooperation of the central government officials, so that it can be successful and fully exert its strength.

Therefore, ordering directly across the center, although seeking a speed, is likely to cause some confusion below, and it will also hit the central officials
It has to be said that with the growth of age, experience, ability and knowledge, Liu Yang began to have his own opinions and thoughts on many things, and he also began to dare to speak to Emperor Liu.

Take this matter as an example, although it is only a matter of conveying the imperial edict, Emperor Liu is used to being strong and focused on the major events of the Northern Expedition, he will not take into account that much, and even if the center knows that the emperor passed them and directly issued the imperial edict Ling, did not dare to say more.However, Liu Yang was able to notice these details and take the initiative to speak up. This is growth.

Seeing this, instead of being annoyed, Emperor Liu expressed his appreciation to Liu Yang.The prince's performance over the years has naturally been in the eyes of Emperor Liu, and progress has been made bit by bit, but perhaps he is too powerful, and the image of a "loving father" can't be pretended to be, which makes Liu Yang very depressed. Less assertive.

Now, seeing that he has made progress again, and dared to put forward his own ideas and opinions to himself, Emperor Liu was naturally happy.As a prince, it is natural to cater to Emperor Liu's ideas and follow in his footsteps in terms of major politics, but he must also have his own thinking and understanding, have his own opinions, and not be a puppet, otherwise after a long time, he will eventually disappear from everyone.
Of course, this change is indeed Liu Yang's growth and a kind of psychological maturity.Having been engaged in the profession of prince for more than ten years, Liu Yang's experience is also constantly enriching, just like walking a tightrope, you must pay attention to balance and grasp a certain degree, which is also the most difficult.

Under the shadow of Emperor Liu, it is not good to be too positive, let alone negative; it is not good to be strong, even weaker;
At least so far, Liu Yang has performed really well, and it has reached the point where Emperor Liu can't make mistakes if he doesn't deliberately make mistakes.Compared with the emperor, it is obviously more difficult to be a prince!

After adopting Liu Yang's suggestion, Emperor Liu made timely changes and issued an edict to the Xijing court, mainly the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, to directly inform them of their ambition for the Northern Expedition and ask them to make full preparations.And mobilization for war through the center, once started, is resolute and thorough, and the possibility of stopping is reduced again.

On the wide straight road, the camp moved forward at a constant speed, and thousands of inner guards closely guarded Luanjia. The atmosphere was very serious. Even though Luoyang was approaching, everyone still kept on their way in silence.

From time to time, the bright spring light penetrated into the car through the swaying gap of the curtain. Emperor Liu leaned on a pillow and dozed off.

"Officials, envoy of martial arts, please see me!" While walking, Yan Tuo reported outside, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing Emperor Liu.

But Emperor Liu woke up when he heard it, opened the curtain of the car, noticed Li Chongju who was riding his horse outside the Yujia, and asked, "Is there a new situation in the north?"

Li Chongju nodded, and clasped his hands in an unusually serious answer: "Your Majesty, the new lord of the Liao Kingdom has been established!"

"So fast!" The remaining embarrassment dissipated, Emperor Liu couldn't hide his surprise, and ordered: "Get in the car and talk!"

After speaking, the curtains were removed, and Li Chongju quickly boarded the Luanjia.To avoid his respectful salute, Emperor Liu let him sit closer and asked solemnly: "Whoever succeeds to the throne, Yelu must be photographed, or Yeluxian!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chongju, who has always shown himself calm and serious, couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this time, and replied: "It's Yeluxian! On the fifth day of this month, King Yeluxian of Qi swore a blood alliance with the clan, nobles, and ministers of the Liao Kingdom. Take over the throne!"

"No one objected? No infighting? No trouble?" Emperor Liu asked several times.

Although he knew what Emperor Liu expected, Li Chongju still shook his head and said, "Yeluxian seems to have reached a consensus with the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom. Although there were fights, there was no civil strife in the end, and Yeluxian succeeded to the throne smoothly!"

"Hiss..." Emperor Liu couldn't help but took a deep breath, not concealing his disappointment, then frowned deeply, and asked anxiously: "Have you figured out what's going on? Didn't you report it to Beijing two days ago?" Undercurrents are surging, fighting is endless, why did the situation settle down so quickly?"

Emperor Liu's tone was already filled with anger, and Li Chongju couldn't help lowering his head a little, and replied in a deep voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, the key lies in Yelu Xiezhen, the King of Southern Liaoyuan, Yeluxian has the support of this person! "

"Yelu Xiezhen," Emperor Liu murmured with a gloomy expression.

Li Chongju reported: "Yelu Xiezhen went back to the court for the funeral. That night, Yeluxian came to pay a visit in person and waited for two hours in front of the mansion before seeing him. I never found out what the two said at the meeting, but after that , At the court meeting where the Liao court elected a new emperor, Yelu Xiezhen raised the banner to support Yeluxian's succession!
Yelu Xiezhen is currently the most famous commander in the Liao Kingdom. After he expressed his position, the noble ministers who were vacillating in the military and political affairs of the Liao Kingdom also turned to support Yeluxian!

Among the ministers of the Han nationality, Han Kuangsi, Gao Xun, Han Deshu and others also expressed their support for Yeluxian one after another!Yeluxianshi, Xiao Siwen and other civil and military ministers with real power escorted him, and under the pressure of the situation, Yeluxian was able to inherit the throne! "

Hearing this, Emperor Liu's anger calmed down a bit, but he still felt something was wrong, and said, "Can Yelvjing's brothers agree? What about Yelv Biju? ​​Didn't he do anything?"

Regarding this, Li Chongju showed a puzzled expression, and sighed: "This is what is puzzling! At the beginning, there were not many people who supported him in the court of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelv Dilie, the king of Anping, worked hard to support him. However, Yelv Bishe seems to have no ambition to seek the throne, and is devoted to Yelujing's funeral.

Later, when the officials pushed Ye Luxian, he did not resist, but took the lead in surrendering to the new lord, and the overall situation was settled! "

"It's too useless!" Hearing such a result, Emperor Liu finally couldn't hold back, and scolded with an indisputable attitude: "What is this Yelu Bishe thinking? He can just watch his father and brother's foundation being destroyed. The sidelines seized it but remained indifferent and did not fight? The emperor's position, just handed over to others like this? His knees, are they so weak?"

Seeing Emperor Liu's righteous indignation, Li Chongju didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and waited for him to vent his anger. Then he said: "Your Majesty, a new monarch of the Liao Kingdom has been established, and he succeeded under the support of all the ministers. There is chaos in the room, I am afraid that the chance is not great!"

Emperor Liu calmed down a little, and said, "Where's their Taiping King? Didn't you say he was jumping up and down, and he was extremely active?"

"After Ye Luxian succeeded to the throne, he was named the king of Zhao to win over him!"

"Where's Yelu Dilie?"

"Conferring Wei Wang, Shizhong, Taiwei, and Jiedu Envoy of the Baoguo Army!" Li Chongju said: "In addition, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom are often promoted to nobles and rewarded with wealth and goods. , assistant government."

"This Yeluxian is very cunning and courageous!" Finally, Emperor Liu said with emotion: "Not only can he gather people's hearts and get the support of so many people, but he can also be so generous to a direct competitor for the throne, which is rare. what!"
