When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 166 This is the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, I can’t even imagine it.

[Ye Yelvbei, who moved to the Later Tang Dynasty, lived a relatively comfortable life and served successively as the military envoy and observer of the Huaihua Army. Similarly, his relationship with the Liao Dynasty was not severed. Instead, he often sent envoys to pay greetings. 】

[However, before Yelu Bei ran away, he only took his secretary and concubines with him, while his wife and son stayed in Dongdan Kingdom, so Yelu Deguang did not attack them. 】

[Yelübei’s wife, Xiao, as the human emperor’s princess, carried out the long-standing tradition of the Liao Dynasty and served as regent of the Dongdan Kingdom until her death ten years later. 】

[The eldest son of Yelu Bei, Yelu Ruan, later came to Yelu Deguang and was carefully taught by him. Later generations recorded that "Taizong loved him like a son."]

[During the Tianxian period, Li Siyuan's eldest son succeeded to the throne for only half a year, and his adopted son Li Congke committed regicide and established himself on his own. Yelu Bei even wrote a secret letter to Yelu Deguang because of this, thinking that this was a good opportunity to attack the Later Tang Dynasty. 】

[Until the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke sent someone to kill Yelvbei after learning of his secret message. Finally, he burned himself to death and was buried in Yiwulu Mountain, with the posthumous title of King Wenwu Yuanhuang. 】

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Once again seeing the story of Zhu Wen usurping the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was no longer shaken at all.He was wondering if the traditions he left behind as the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty were somewhat unqualified?

Let’s not talk about the Khitan and Liao dynasties. It has been repeatedly emphasized in Miracles that they were nomadic people. Even if they later settled in the Central Plains, they were different from the Central Plains dynasty. In addition, they switched from a tribal alliance to an imperial system, so they naturally had many characteristics.

But one of the characteristics of the Later Tang Dynasty is that they joined the Tang Dynasty and were later given the surname Li by their Datang Dynasty. Forget it, there are actually so many adopted sons. Even if there are parents and children, the adopted sons can still They ascended the throne one after another!
People in future generations will have too much fun!

Looking at the Liao Dynasty, Yelv Bei ran away. Yelu Deguang not only did not anger his wife and children, but instead let the imperial concubine Xiao take over the affairs of Dongdan and treated his nephew as his own.

This tradition of the wife directly accepting relevant rights and affairs when the husband is unable to control the government due to dealing with government affairs or various situations is indeed distinctive and effective.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Bai was also shocked. Yelubei was not dead, and his princess could actually take over the Dongdan Kingdom?

Can his son still be taken by Emperor Taizong of Liao?

Later he ascended the throne and became Emperor Shizong of Liao Dynasty!

You must know that from a political perspective, this is a real and possible potential enemy. Although Yelu Bei does not have the capital to compete with Yelu Deguang at the moment, he actually exposed it so easily. This is different from his previous exposure. From Taizong’s story, we learned that, even though they were related by relatives, he had done nothing but was forced to burn himself to death by his nephew. How dramatic it was!

Zhu Ju said quietly, "I live a very comfortable life." Although it was true that he ran away to the Later Tang Dynasty because of his dissatisfaction, but overall, his life had a lot of wonderful things, which was much better than the unlucky ones who were later liquidated by their own families. much better.

[The civil strife in the Later Tang Dynasty was a God-given opportunity for the Khitan to truly become a Central Plains empire. This opportunity is rare in a hundred years, because it brought the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, which were extremely critical and important in every aspect. , if this opportunity is not seized, how long it will take for the Khitan to become the Liao Dynasty, and even whether it is possible for the Khitan to become the Liao Dynasty, will be a big question mark. 】

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth when he heard Shenqi mention this matter.He admitted that the Song Dynasty itself did have many shortcomings and flaws, and some problems were still deep-rooted and difficult to solve, and could even be left to future generations.

A typical example is the military issue. For those generals who have been over-indulged and arrogant, it cannot be said that they can be completely polished off in a short time.

But no matter what problems the Song Dynasty had itself, Shi Jingtang used Yan Yun in exchange for Taizong of the Liao Dynasty to send troops to help, and finally allowed the Khitan to rise completely. He is the culprit who has broken the world apart now!Just as the miracle said, let the Khitans develop on their own. Without Yanyun's land, population, soldiers and horses, and even various technologies to promote them, they would not be able to develop into the Liao Dynasty so quickly. Whether they can even develop into the Liao Dynasty is also a question. How will their strength be Will it be as powerful as it is now? ——
Khitan, the second year of Tianzan.

Yelu Abaoji and Shuluping were overjoyed when they heard that the Khitan had acquired the Sixteenth Yanyun Province. These were the Sixteenth Yanyun Province. He simply could not imagine how powerful the Khitan would be in the future.

"This is God's blessing to us. God bless me Khitan!"

You know, the reason why Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were able to win had a lot to do with the civil strife in the Later Tang Dynasty.

In the civil strife of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke's regicide and self-reliance, and even the subsequent situations were beyond what the Khitan could have predicted. Although the Khitan was still developing and expanding its strength, it was far from reaching the point where it could influence the core politics of the Later Tang Dynasty.

They know very well that if the current situation continues, even if the Khitan can seize the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, it will be a result that can only be achieved after a long period of time and at a high price.

Shu Luping said with a smile: "I have to thank Shi Jingtang for this. Without such a strong general, I, the Khitan, would not have such a glorious future."

[In the eighth year of Tianxian's reign, Li Siyuan, Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, died, and his son, King Li Conghou of the Song Dynasty, was declared to succeed him. 】

[But Li Conghou’s succession can’t change anything. He can’t even control himself. 】

[He wants to work hard, but he does not have sufficient experience in handling government affairs, nor does he have a strong enough team to help him solve the problem. 】

[The veterans left behind by Li Siyuan control a lot of power, but they do not have extraordinary ability to govern the country and cannot solve the problem.

There were various problems and hidden dangers in the Later Tang Dynasty, and the power in their hands was only to maintain the final dignity of the Tang Dynasty and their own prosperity and wealth. 】

[At that time, the army of the Later Tang Dynasty actually still had a certain degree of combat effectiveness. Therefore, the main problems at that time were actually internal problems and difficulties in coordination between the central and local military governors. 】

[The representative figures are Li Congke and Shi Jingtang.Although both of them have no blood relationship with the central government, Li Congke is an adopted son after all, and he has the status of King Lu, so he and she are always regarded as a thorn in the eyes of many people. 】

[His eldest son was appointed to a remote area, and his daughter was called to the capital. 】

[Although Li Conghou ascended the throne, he did not have much power in his hands, so he followed the advice of his powerful ministers and mobilized the military governors of the four towns of Fengxian, Hedong, Chengde, and Tianxiong. Li Congke was one of them, the military governor of Fengxiang. . 】

[Therefore, Li Congke claimed that "Zhu Hongzhao and others took advantage of the late emperor's illness, killed the elders and established the younger ones, autocratic power, neglected their own flesh and blood, shaken the vassal wall, and were afraid of overthrowing the country." He started his rebellion in the name of "Qing Jun Side". 】
