Han Shizu

Chapter 1253 Dissent is inevitable
"After Ye Luxian succeeded to the throne, what measures will he take?" After pondering for a long time, Emperor Liu asked.

Li Chongju reported: "After rewarding the meritorious officials and nobles, apart from dispatching envoys to prefectures, counties, border gates, and tribesmen to inform the new king of succession, there was no major war, and the Liao court remained the same.

The first edict of the Lord of Liao was to change the Yuan Dynasty to Baoning. The ministers were honored as the Emperor Tianzan, and Empress Yelujing Xiao was the Empress Dowager, and moved to Longqing Palace.At the same time, because the Liao Kingdom suffered repeated chaos of succession to the throne, resulting in unrest in the country's government and uneasy people's hearts, the Liao Lord made an alliance with the clan and ministers to ensure long-term peace and stability, and formally established the eldest son inheritance system! "

After listening to Li Chongju's report, Emperor Liu's serious expression was finally relieved, and a small smile appeared on his face: "See, the new lord of the Liao Kingdom is young, but his wrists are very sharp! Judging from his actions, deep Knowing the key to the current situation, the intention is to stabilize the hearts of the government. If this person is allowed to secure the position of emperor, the Liao Dynasty may be even more difficult to deal with than when Yelvjing was in power!"

"Your Majesty, Ye Luxian is really a blockbuster!" Li Chongju said, "Judging from his performance before and after he succeeded to the throne, he really cannot be underestimated!"

"Hmm!" Emperor Liu responded, rubbing his hand on the jade pendant on his thumb, and fell into deep thought again.

Seeing this, Li Chongju waited for a while before asking for instructions: "Your Majesty, it is reported that the control inside and outside Liao Shangjing has been strengthened, and the spies under the Wu De Division have also lost a lot of manpower in the frequent spying. The situation is gradually calming down. Will the actions of spreading rumors and disrupting the situation continue?"

"Continue! Of course we must continue!" Emperor Liu reacted immediately, glanced at Li Chongju, and said in a deep voice: "Aren't these methods of great use to the Liao Kingdom, and the effect is worrying?"

When asked, Li Chongju replied conservatively: "I should urge my subordinates to do their best!"

Emperor Liu nodded, obviously understood, waved his hands, and sighed: "Rumours can hurt people, but there are still many conditions that are lacking in order to kill people. As for chaos in Liao Dynasty, I'm afraid I can't even hope for it! "

Eyeballs rolled around a few times, Emperor Liu raised his finger and said: "Wu Desi has secretly contacted the tribes, Jurchen, Shiwei and other barbarians in the Liao Kingdom in recent years, right?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to keep in touch!"

"Okay, it's time to use it, send someone to bring the imperial court's reward edict, tell them about the replacement of the Liao emperor, show them the opportunity, mobilize them all, and cooperate with the big man!" Emperor Liu instructed.

"Yes!"

"You step back, let me think about it again!" Emperor Liu ordered after relaxing the whole person.

"I retire!"

The interior of Luanjia became quiet, and the warm spring light still broke in tirelessly, reflecting on his face, making it even more cloudy and uncertain. Obviously, the situation from the Liao Kingdom disappointed him, and even failed to meet his basic expectations .

Ye Luxian's rise to the throne did not exceed Emperor Liu's expectation, but this process disappointed him. Obviously, he expected Liao Kingdom to have another violent internal shock due to the succession of the throne, which would win a more favorable Northern Expedition for the Great Han. The timing is out of the question.

In the end, it depends on hard power!

Although Emperor Liu never felt that the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom could progress and be realized easily and happily, the changes in the situation in the Liao Kingdom still made him feel uncomfortable and even vigilant.

Although Ye Luxian has not taken any specific measures for the political state, it still makes Emperor Liu have some associations.He thought of the situation when he succeeded to the throne. Although he couldn't completely compare it, Ye Luxian's performance made Emperor Liu feel similar to himself, and because of this, he felt disgusted.
"Where are you going?" The Luanjia team continued to move eastward, and the slight bumps made Emperor Liu feel a sense of urgency, and asked suddenly.

"Going back to the official's house, we have passed Yanxi Station!" Yan Tuo reported.

"Decree, speed up, and arrive in Xijing before sunset!" Emperor Liu's tone was unquestionable.

"Yes!"

In Luoyang City in mid-spring, the wind is sunny and beautiful, immersed in a beautiful and stable atmosphere. The scholars and people are busy and satisfied, from the princes and ministers to the traffickers and pawns, enjoying the peaceful world comfortably.

Inside and outside Luoyang, a large number of scenic spots and historical sites are active for outings; in Xijing City, a large number of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables are also on the market; there are also merchants from all over the world, bringing local products and commodities from all over the country for the capital. Taxi shopping
Everyone is busy with their own business, and it seems that they don't even care about the news that the emperor will return to Beijing. Under the glitz and glory of this beautiful and prosperous age, many people don't realize that a large-scale war has already begun. It's brewing.

Imperial City, Political Affairs Hall.

During Emperor Liu's tour, the highest authority in the Han Dynasty, the government orders of the whole country were issued from this decision, and the authority became more and more grand.Although the emperor was not there, the officials on duty did not dare to slack off in the slightest. There was nothing they could do. Prime Minister Zhao Pu was also a powerful figure, and he was busy making political achievements. Overstaffing was strictly prohibited.

Sitting behind the large official case, Zhao Pu, as always, carefully reviewed and approved the memorials submitted by various ministries and offices. Every stroke, every word, released the charm of power, which made people intoxicated.This reply is not only the memorial, but also the world.
Today, Zhao Pu, who is only 48 years old, can announce that he has ushered in the pinnacle of his career, realized his aspirations, upheld power, and ruled the world.

The scenery is naturally beautiful. Last year on his birthday, although he had deliberately kept a low profile and did not want to make a fuss, on the day of his birthday, the nobles and officials who heard the news were still gathered together, almost breaking the threshold of his house.

Gifts were piled up in the vestibule, which made him a little startled but trembling. It was Emperor Liu who sent Qin Guogong Liu Xu to come to celebrate his birthday in person and give him a platform, which made him feel a little relieved.

Zhao Pu is a smart person, therefore, he knows deeply in his heart who his status and power come from. Even if he is happy or proud, he always grasps the measure when dealing with politics, and is conscientious and diligent.

"Master Zhao!" Shangshu's right servant shot Song Qi into the room holding a pile of performances, and called Zhao Pu who was contemplative.

Looking up, seeing Song Qi, Zhao Pu put down his pen, with a friendly smile on his face, and said, "President Song, please sit down!"

Zhao Pu and Song Qi are of the same generation, and their circumstances are similar. They both started from the local area and belonged to feudal vassals in the early years. However, when they lived together in the Zhengshitang and shared the power of the prime minister, their relationship was lukewarm. There are even repeated objections.

Especially when it comes to border affairs, Song Qi started in the north, and has a much deeper understanding of the Liao Kingdom and the tribes in the north. Zhao Pu, who has experience in the southwest, also knows the border, but in terms of opinions, it is inevitable. have conflict.

And with the issuance of the imperial edict by Emperor Liu, the attitudes of the two prime ministers on the Northern Expedition diverged again.
"Pan Shangshu of the Ministry of War, please allocate funds to build additional ordnance!" Song Qi sat down and said the most important thing.

Hearing this, Zhao Pu replied calmly, "Preparation for the Northern Expedition, manufacturing and transshipment of ordnance materials are the most basic things. If the name is clear and there is no doubt, just accept it!"

Seeing this, Song Qi sighed, and said, "Zhao Xiang really thinks it's appropriate to be so eager for the Northern Expedition?"

In fact, from Song Qi's expression, Zhao Pu knew what he wanted to say, so he smiled lightly: "The death of the old master of the Liao Dynasty, the change of the old and the new, the turmoil of the hearts of the people, and the chaos of the government and the public, this is a golden opportunity that is rare in ten years. Can you let it go?"

Hearing this, Song Qi couldn't help but shook her head, and said: "Khitan has established a country for decades, and its foundation is already deep, so it is not so easy to fall into chaos. Now that the situation in the north is unclear, I don't think it is easy to attack and rush to the north. Break it! If you are careful, you may cause losses to the big man!"

Seeing Song Qi's old-fashioned rhetoric again, Zhao Pu looked at him calmly and said, "I know Prime Minister Song has been here for many years and knows the affairs of the border, but how can your Majesty be unfamiliar with Liao affairs? Such an accident has happened in the Liao Kingdom today, if you hesitate and miss the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it!"

"The enemy's situation is unknown, the matter is hasty, and the chances of victory are doubtful!" Song Qi said: "It is now time for spring plowing, and a large number of people are recruited, which will inevitably lead to desertion and reduced food production. It is even more impatient to prepare for the Northern Expedition within one month."

Song Qi said while shaking her head, looking very worried.Seeing this, Zhao Pu sat up straighter, looked at him, and said: "Xiang Xiang's heart of worrying about the country and the people, I admire you. However, your majesty's edict has come, and we can only implement it. Your majesty will return to Beijing soon. If you want to wait for His Majesty to return, you won't want to only hear these excuses!"
