Chapter 2006

When Li Qiufeng was on duty in Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town, the capital, he often heard from his colleagues talking about the party struggles in the imperial court. Although there were no swords and swords, it was more dangerous than the feud between Jianghu and Jianghu. If he was not careful, not only would he lose his official life, but his family and friends would not be spared either.

Later, he was sent by Yang Zhenzhong, pretending to rescue Yan Dufei, and wanted to find out what the masters of the Qinghai sect had planned to sneak into the palace. Unexpectedly, there were many secrets hidden behind this incident, which involved the murder of Emperor Zhengde.

At this time, listening to Feng Wei's talk about the court disputes in the Liao Kingdom in the past, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the various martial arts sects were willing to kill people in order to gain status. Officials, big and small, used countless despicable methods in order to gain promotion and wealth.

In order to fight for the throne, Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang must have used more vicious methods. Han Yanhui dealt with these Khitan people like wolves and tigers. It can be said that every step was thorny. If he was not careful, he could be killed.

.This man can always stay by the side of the emperor without being killed, which is really extraordinary. If these words are really what he said, this man is already a proficient official. There may be only two emperors, Renzong and Xuanzong, in the Ming Dynasty.

San Yang at that time could be compared with him.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he heard Feng Wei continue to say: "Yelübei was originally angry, but when he heard what Han Yanhui said, he felt at a loss. He didn't know what Han Yanhui meant. Han Yanhui saw Yelvbei's look of surprise.

, then stood up and asked Yelubei to sit down, and told Yelubei that since he had arrived at the Han family, a big mistake had been made, and even if he wanted to help Yelubei ascend the throne, there was no chance, so it was better to carefully discuss how to protect himself in the future.

"The more Yelvbei listened, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but start to protest and said loudly to Han Yanhui, Mr. Han thought that I was trapped in a place like Dongdan Kingdom and would not be able to stand up, but he didn't know that I had summoned

The 30,000-strong army returned to the capital. The gates of all the cities we encountered along the way were opened wide, and the officials and the common people were eating pots of soup to welcome the king's troops. When we arrived in the capital, I had 80,000 soldiers and horses under my command. This kind of power has been unparalleled throughout the ages.

, how many people can compare with it?

"After Han Yanhui heard what Yelu Bei said, he just sighed and said, if he had more men and horses, he could conquer the world. On that day, the late emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince led an army of 200,000 to the south, and Li Cunxu could only have 20,000 men. Logically speaking,

We should just surrender. But the late Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince came back defeated. So what can we say?

"Yelübei was furious when Han Yanhui exposed his shortcomings, but what Han Yanhui said was indeed the truth, and he couldn't refute it. So even though Yelvbei glared at him, he had nothing to say for a while. Han Yanhui asked Yelvbei to sit down.

Returning to the chair, he slowly said that it had been nearly twenty years since the founding of the Liao Dynasty. Although the veterans and His Highness the Crown Prince had drawn up etiquette regulations based on Han classics, and the emperor also approved of them, the Khitan royal family, nobles, court ministers, and military commanders

The generals all looked down upon the Han people and regarded them as slaves, fearing that the Han people had other agendas.

"When Han Yanhui said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Yelu Bei, and then continued: The old minister has been ups and downs for a long time, and he has long taken the world lightly. In fact, the old minister knew in his heart that although the late emperor and the prince treated me very well,

But from the bottom of my heart, I look down on the old minister.

"Yelubei was told something that was on his mind by Han Yanhui. Even though he was ruthless, he felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain a few words, but didn't know how to explain it, so he could only remain silent. Han Yanhui went on to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a

A very smart person knows that although the Khitan people are invincible, they can take over the world immediately, and they must not rule the world immediately. For the long-term peace and stability of the Liao Dynasty, they discussed with the old ministers and wanted to learn the methods of the Han people and establish a rule for the Liao Dynasty.

Only in this way can the rules of the Liao Dynasty be passed down from generation to generation. However, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worked hard for the Liao Kingdom, the nobles and ministers were not willing to learn from the Han people. They thought that it was because the old ministers assisted the late emperor and the prince in formulating the rules.

Deliberately suppressing them, I felt very dissatisfied. Because before the etiquette was set, when the ministers saw the late emperor, they could just clasp their fists and bow in salute. But after the rules were set, they had to kneel three times and kowtow, which naturally made them feel troublesome. Moreover, in the past, they had no contact with the late emperor.

How satisfying it is to be able to eat at the same table, drink from a big bowl, eat meat with big mouthfuls, and chat and laugh during the dinner? But after the rules were established, the courtiers could only stay away from the late emperor, and could no longer steal from the late emperor like before.

Whisper and say some private words. In this way, they will not be able to handle some things. Naturally, they dare not put this resentment on the late emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, and can only vent their anger on Han officials like Lao Chen.

"In the past few years, the Crown Prince has been holding power and has been implementing new policies in the court and various places, which has angered Khitan officials. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has won the trust of the late emperor and has military power in his hands. Although the officials are dissatisfied, they dare not be angry.

Yan. The Queen Mother and the Second Prince saw the stakes in this, so they secretly made friends with the court ministers and officials from various places, promising that one day the Second Prince would become emperor and he would abolish the rules modeled after the Central Plains Dynasty, in exchange for the benefits of the ministers and officials.

support.

"The more Yelvbei listened, the more frightened he became. He verified what Han Yanhui said with what he had seen and heard over the years. He was originally an extremely smart person. After a little verification, he knew that what Han Yanhui said was true.

I couldn't help but feel horrified, thinking to myself that Han Yanhui knew that the second child had been dealing with him secretly for a long time, so why didn't he remind me? Did he deliberately want to see my joke?

"Yelubei was shocked and confused. He heard Han Yanhui continue to say that although the Khitan nobles and many ministers were dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince, no one dared to stand up and resist due to His Highness the Crown Prince's strength. The old ministers naturally knew that there were people in the court.

There is an undercurrent surging, but since ancient times, whenever there is a reform in the imperial court, some people will come out to block it, either openly or covertly. His Royal Highness is very knowledgeable and wise. Even if someone comes out to oppose it, they will only stand in the way, and they will only get their own consequences.

Humiliation. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince serves the late emperor well, his ascension to the throne will be a matter of course. As long as these systems are implemented for ten to twenty years and the Khitan nobles and officials gradually adapt, no one will stand up to oppose them again.

"But I didn't expect that during the Southern Expedition, His Highness the Crown Prince accidentally disobeyed the late emperor's will, which made the late emperor suspicious of His Highness the Crown Prince. Later, the eastward expedition to the Bohai Kingdom was a plan set by the late Emperor. Although the territory of the Bohai Kingdom is not small,

, but the people were poor and the country was weak, and it was a bitter cold land where food could not be grown, and there was no grassland for grazing livestock. The late emperor never raised troops to attack the Bohai Kingdom, not because the Bohai Kingdom had strong soldiers and horses, but because the Bohai Kingdom was too poor and was annexed.

After the Liao Dynasty, there was not only no benefit, but also the need to send food, cattle and horses to the people of the Bohai Kingdom, which was a huge burden in vain. This time, the late emperor suddenly decided to destroy the Bohai Kingdom, and he wanted to use the name of the Eastern Expedition to kill the prince.

It will be easier to deal with the prince if he is transferred out of the capital and separated from the prince, such as the veteran courtiers who are loyal to the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the vanguard of the army and forced the Bohai Kingdom to surrender without much effort. For His Highness the Crown Prince, this was certainly a great achievement. However, when the late emperor saw how powerful His Highness the Crown Prince was, his fear became even deeper. He

Changing the Bohai Kingdom to Dongdan Kingdom and naming His Highness the Crown Prince as the King of Dongdan Kingdom is to trap His Royal Highness there and not be able to return to the capital. To be honest, His Royal Highness is called the King of Dongdan Kingdom, which is actually the same as the prisoner.

It’s no different. The late emperor lured the prince into a trap step by step, and the emperor’s throne was getting further and further away from His Highness the prince.”
