When Shi Jingyao borrowed troops from the Khitans, he signed a treaty to cede Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, but since the treaty could be signed, it could certainly be abolished.
If Shi Jingyao did not pay attention to faith in this regard, would the history books criticize him for this? It is estimated that it will not. If Shi Jingyao'en took revenge and turned around and destroyed the Khitan again, would the history books criticize him for this? It is estimated that it will not be. Because such a Shi Jingyao will definitely be praised by the history books like Li Shimin.
More importantly, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are not Shi Jingyao's family, he said cut it, why?
When the Jin Dynasty was new to the world, many of the clan towns did not obey; or although they obeyed, they were uneasy.
In fact, Shi Jingyao became emperor and recognized the treaties signed before the emperor, but when the Khitans took over youyun Sixteen Prefectures, it was also a big deal.
First, Yunzhou, under the leadership of Wu Luan, refused to be taken over by the Khitans. The Khitan besieged Yunzhou for seven months, but was unable to conquer Yunzhou.
However, Yunzhou insisted until this time, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to hold on, so Shi Jingyao came forward and asked the Khitan to withdraw their troops first, and then transferred Wu Luan to leave Yunzhou.
Of course, the Khitan did not ask for Wu Luan to be severely punished, and Shi Jingyao admired Wu Luan as a Hanzi, so he let him go to the interior as a deputy envoy.
Gao Zu entered the country, and Yunzhou entered the Khitans, while luan Yu defended the city, and the Khitan besieged Fan in July. What Gao Zuyiluan did was to inform the Khitan in a letter, so that the troops would be released. Gao Zu summoned Luan and thought that he was the deputy envoy of the Wuning Army, the counselor, and the defense envoy of Fuzhou.
Then, The deputy envoy of Shuozhou Jiedu later killed the Jiedu envoy appointed by the Khitans and demanded that it be placed under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Zhao Chong, the deputy envoy of Shuo Prefecture Jiedushi, had already expelled Liu Shan from the Khitan Jiedu and asked for his return to the imperial court.
There was also the military and political director of the Youzhou Festival who once wanted to request the annexation of the Central Plains Dynasty.
At the beginning, the Khitan had already acquired Youzhou and ordered Nanjing, with Tang descending to zhao siwen as a retainer. SiWenzi Yanzhao was in Jin, and the emperor thought that Qi Prefecture had stabbed shi. Si Wen secretly ordered Yan Zhao's words to eventually change, please attach it to Youzhou; the emperor will not allow it.
The question now is, would Shi Jingyao dare to tear up the treaty signed with the Khitans?
Obviously, he did not dare, because as long as the treaty was torn up, he would go to all-out war with the Khitans, because the Khitan could not let Shi Jingyao play like this.
When you ask me, you promise to cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to me, and after using me, you want to settle the account, do you think I am a bully?
If Shi Jingyao's strength was large enough, he naturally dared to try to settle accounts with the Khitan Lai.
The problem was that at that time, the military power was on the rise, so Shi Jingyao naturally did not dare to talk about going to war with the Khitans. Because you are not willing to be friendly with the Khitans, naturally someone is willing to replace you.
In other words, once the war with the Khitan was in full swing, there would certainly be people who would be tempted to replicate Shi Jingyao's previous successes.
At present, Shi Jingyao's urgent task to be solved is how to consolidate the power of the central government, and everything else must be put back.
Because in the context of many warlords, you dare to launch an all-out foreign war, how many people will take advantage of the fire to rob you, you never know.
How arrogant the military tycoons of the Shi Jingyao era were, just look at Zhang Yanze to know.
One of Zhang Yanze's younger brothers offended him and was about to be executed. This little brother sought refuge from the central government, and Shi Jingyao thought that this little brother was not wrong, so he hoped that Zhang Yanze would let this little brother go.
The problem is that in Zhang Yanze's view, this is Shi Jingyao interfering in his own implementation of the family law, so he asked someone to give Shi Jingyao a message.
I enforce the family law on my little brother, I hope you don't mix blindly, if you have to mix blindly, in case you make a mess, don't blame me for not reminding you.
In the face of Zhang Yanze's arrogant behavior, Shi Jingyao finally did not dare to insist on his own opinion, so he had to send Zhang Yanze's younger brother back. Zhang Yanze tortured and killed this little brother.
Yan Ze dispatched the marching Sima Zheng Yuan Zhao to ask for it, and said: "Yan Ze must not be zhang, I am afraid that it will cause accidents." "The emperor had no choice, with it. 癸未, in the style of Jingzhou, Yan Ze ordered to break his mouth, cut off his heart, and cut off his limbs.
Later, Zhang Yanze tortured and killed a general who had deviated from him.
Zhang Yanze in Jingzhou... Back in Shaanxi, the deceased general Yang Hong, took advantage of the drunkenness to cut off his hands and siblings and beheaded him.
So someone told Shi Jingyao that this kind of atmosphere must not be indulged. Because in the Liang and Tang dynasties, it seems that no military tycoon dared to be arrogant to such a situation, so Shi Jingyao demoted Zhang Yanze.
The Right Counselor Zheng Beneficiary said: "Yang Hong was slaughtered, and His Majesty sent Zhang Shi and Yan Ze to make them go unchecked, so that Yan Ze dared to be fierce and unscrupulous, and had no fear..."
Later, Shi Chonggui and the Khitan went to war in an all-round way, and before the Khitans had crossed the Yellow River, Zhang Yanze reached a tacit understanding with the Khitan and took over the imperial capital by force, ready to welcome the Khitan Emperor into the city.
In the winter of the third year of the start of the operation, the Khitan was both Southern Mu and Du Chongwei soldiers were in Yingzhou. Yan Ze was eaten by the Khitan and the secret had become a secret. It was a general payment to the Khitans, please be the forerunner, because of the promotion of riding to say heavy wei, led the army along the west of the water to aid Changshan, and then conspired with the heavy wei. And Wang Shi surrendered to Zhongdu, and the Khitan sent Yan Ze to unify the two thousand horsemen to the Capital Division to subdue the Young Emperor, and to show the Duke Zhaomin to save his intentions.
Although Zhang Yanze was arrogant in the Shi Jingyao era, in general, it was still a small fight.
Fan Yanguang was a standard military and political leader in the post-Tang dynasty, And Fan Yanguang served as a privy envoy of the Later Tang Dynasty; when Shi Jingyao raised an army, Fan Yanguang served as an envoy to the Tianxiong Army. Moreover, Fan Yanguang's daughter was also the concubine of Li Congke's son at the end of the Tang Dynasty, so it was not until the general trend was gone that Fan Yanguang submitted to Shi Jingyao. However, after submitting to Shi Jingyao, he still fought against Shi Jingyao and repeatedly planned rebellions.
When Emperor Gaozu of Jin raised Taiyuan, the last emperor sent Yanguang to 20,000 troops to Liaozhou and fight with Zhao Yanshou. Even if the life extension is reduced first, the extension of light alone will not fall. Gao Zu ascended the throne, Yanguang Hebiao was also a posthumous prince, and his daughter was the last emperor's concubine, so as to have the opposite side.
When Fan Yanguang launched a rebellion, he wrote letters to many military and political leaders in the Later Jin Dynasty and carried out large-scale tandem activities. In the process, many people followed Fan Yanguang to participate in the rebellion; even Zhang Quanyi's son participated in the rebellion and occupied the city of Luoyang for a time.
Fan Yanguang sent envoys to lure the negligent with wax pills, the Right Guard general Lou Jiying, the Right Guard general Yin Hui in Liang, and Wen Tao's sons Yan Jun, Yan Numa, and Yan Gun ju xu prefecture.
Yan Guang lured people to Obey Bin, and from Bin Sui rebelled against him, killing the crown prince Heyang Jiedushi to make Chongxin, so that the general Zhang Jizuo knew that Heyang would stay behind. Ji Zuo, the son of quanyi also. From Bin, he also led troops into Luoyang, killed the crown prince Quan Dongdu to stay behind in Chongyi, and the deputy retainer of the eastern capital and the inspector of the capital made Zhang Yanbo aware of the affairs of Henan Province and join the army.
Fan's rebellion lasted a year, and government forces were unable to put it down. Finally, the rebellion was resolved by means of political inducement.
Shi Jingyao issued a general amnesty order against Fan Yanguang's family, saying that he would not investigate in the past. And swore that heaven and earth could testify that if I held you accountable afterwards, my country would perish at once.
After Fan Yanguang surrendered, he still held a very high position and enjoyed a very high salary. Most of the younger brothers who followed him also continued to hold very high positions and enjoyed high salaries.
In general, Fan Yanguang's family of people and horses all maintained their previous ranks, just giving them a different place to work.
The whole process, optimistically speaking, is actually just a relatively drastic method of cutting the domain. Because of such a toss,the military and political clique represented by Fan Yanguang was divided and disintegrated.
Although the position of Fan Yanguang's family has not changed significantly, it has been transferred, which means that it has completely accepted the reorganization of the central government.
In the process, a dramatic event occurred.
During the siege of Fan Yanguang, the government army found the mother of one of Fan Yanguang's younger brothers and asked her to persuade Fan Yanguang's younger brother to surrender under the city, and Fan Yanguang, the younger brother, in order to prevent his mother from confusing the hearts of the army, shot her to death with one arrow.
Now the question is, should Fan Yanguang's little brother be pardoned? Shi Jingyao said that the amnesty order has been promulgated, and looking for an excuse to kill and surrender will make the pardoned person insecure.
The question is, some people have said, how can such unfaithful and filial people stay in heaven and earth? In the end, Shi Jingyao still forgave Fan Yanguang, the younger brother, and appointed him as an envoy of a certain state.
Summoning Yang Guangyuan to know that Yan Xun was also in Xingzhou, whose mother was still alive, he sent his mother to the city, and showed Yan Xun to recruit him, and Yan Xun saw it and shot himself. And Yan Guang surrendered, Jin Gaozu worshiped Yan XunFangzhou to assassinate history, the chancellor Yan Yanxun killed his mother as a curse, Gao Zu said that the pardon had been done, and could not be dishonest.
There is a very famous saying in later generations, called "When the son of heaven is in the world, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, they are the ears", which comes from the mouth of An Chongrong. When he rebelled, he openly accused Shi Jingyao of betraying the country.
Chengde Jiedu made An Chongrong out of line, rough sex, brave and arrogant, and everyone said: "In this world, the son of heaven, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the ears are strong." ”
In this context, as long as the Khitan emissaries passed by his territory, An Chongrong would call them over and scold them; later, when the Khitan delegation saw An Chongrong so arrogant, they confronted An Chongrong, so An Chongrong was angry and killed them all.
In the blessings of heaven, the imperial court appeased the Khitan and made peace and the border, and chongrong, whenever he saw an envoy, he would scold him slowly. There will be dozens of beautiful horses riding in its territory, and the words will not be inferior, because they will kill them, and the Khitan lord will be furious and rebuke the imperial court.
More importantly, An Zhongrong also repeatedly openly invited rebels and contacted various foreign forces opposed to the Khitans.
In the beginning, the emperor cut off the north of yanmen to bribe the Khitans, and tuguhun belonged to the khitans, suffering from its greed, thinking of returning to China; Chengde Jiedu made An Chongrong re-enticing, so the Tuguhun tribe came from Wutai.
An Chongrong was so arrogant, the Khitan people were naturally very angry, so they said to Shi Jingyao's emissaries, Why don't you care about An Chongrong?
Shi Jingyao's emissary said that it was like a family with a fierce and evil son, and his father could not take care of it.
When Yan inquired about his account, the Khitan rebuked the messenger for his death, and Yan inquired: "If there are evil sons in the people of the people, and the parents cannot control them, what will they do?" "The Khitan Lord's anger is solved.
But this kind of explanation really can't make the Khitan people really satisfied, what you can't manage, it is clear that you are not willing to manage! If you use such invisible means to incite the nation against us Khitans, you will not have a good end!
Later, An Chongrong openly rebuked Shi Jingyao for admitting to being a thief as his father, and shouted that he would attack the Khitan on a large scale, and also spread the relevant content everywhere.
Thousands of words, most of them rebuked the Emperor's father for the Khitan and exhausted China to charm the insatiable prisoners. It also means that the book will bequeathed to the nobles and the towns of the qianfan, and the clouds have been reduced to the army, and they will fight a decisive battle with the Khitans. The emperor held a strong army with a heavy honor, and could not control it, and it was even more troublesome.
But in the context of the time, the nationalist banner did not seem to work. An Chongrong held high this banner, and finally let Shi Jingyao send an army to encircle and suppress it.
In the context of that time, you held high the banner of the nation, and within the appropriate range, everyone would praise and cheer for you. But the more you play, the bigger you play, and the rise to the height of the main battle faction, the main faction and the faction need to take sides, you carry this big flag, it is estimated that there is no good result.
Because at such a time, people will naturally generally admit that in the context of that time, the main battle is a matter of harming others and harming themselves. Because at that time, the Later Jin Dynasty, the centralization of power was in progress, and the Khitan rushed to war, and the consequences were unimaginable.
As for following An Chongrong to overthrow Shi Jingyao and then abrogate the unequal treaty signed with the Khitans, this is even more unfortunate. Because this was destined to toss the Central Plains Dynasty into chaos, and finally let the Khitan get more opportunities.
Therefore, An Chongrong held high the banner of the nation, and the rebellion of the stone-making Jingyao with great fanfare soon failed.
Soon after the settlement of An Chongrong, Shi Jingyao fell ill and died, and he served as emperor for a total of six years, during which time, although he was always in a situation of disarray, the centralization of the empire was obviously further strengthened. Because when encircling and suppressing the rebel forces, Shi Jingyao ended up with a total victory.
After the victory, even if there is a compromise, the final bottom line is to completely reorganize the rebels. To be more specific, the head of the rebel army was transferred away from his former military district, and key members of the rebel army accepted new personnel appointments.
Therefore, before Shi Jingyao's death, the two major military giants of the empire were Liu Zhiyuan and Du Chongwei, both of whom were Shi Jingyao's concubines.
However, this did not mean that Shi Jingyao had completely reorganized the military system, because Liu Zhiyuan had shown a tail that could not be dropped at that time.
When Shi Jingyao gave Liu Zhiyuan the title of Tongping Zhangshi, Liu Zhiyuan heard that du Chongwei was also given a title related to Du Chongwei, and at that time he refused. Because Liu Zhiyuan felt that he had achieved success in his hundred battles; Du Chongwei mainly relied on nepotism to ascend to the throne, why let Du Chongwei be juxtaposed with himself?
At the beginning, Han Gaozu was in Jin, in charge of the army, commanding the envoys for the guards, and working with Du Chongwei to make Jiaping Zhangshi, Han Gaozu was ashamed and angry and refused to thank him.
In fact, Liu Zhiyuan's daring to do so proves in itself that Shi Jingyao should let Du Chongwei restrain him.
Because this is really put into the five generations period, another era, which big guy dares to be such a cow? In the era of Emperor Wu of Qin, Emperor Wu, Tang Dynasty, and Song Zu, if any military tycoon dared to be so arrogant, it would definitely be a dead end, so Shi Jingyao was so angry that he once wanted to remove Liu Zhiyuan from his post.
It was only when someone told Shi Jingyao that Liu Zhiyuan was your concubine, and that he was now in a high position of authority, and that if you opened up the contradictions between you in this way, it is estimated that the consequences will be more serious. So Shi Jingyao did not disclose this contradiction, but only let people convey this meaning: you have crossed the line. Liu Zhiyuan then accepted the relevant personnel appointments.
Knowing the shame and the heavy power of the same system, Dumen does not come out. Gao Zu was furious and wanted to dismiss him from his military post, but Zhao Ying, the chancellor, thought that he could not do it, and Gao Zu was sent to duan MingDian and Ning To announce the first edict, and Zhi Yuan was ordered.
Later, after Shi Chonggui and the Khitan all-out war, a very important reason why they could not open up the situation was that Liu Zhiyuan sat in Hedong, but he always looked like a protector of the border and the people.
Bai Zhongshu Ling, feng Taiyuan King, Youzhou Daoxing Camp to solicit envoys, and also worship the north of the camp to unify. In April of the second year of kaiyun, he was crowned king of Beiping, and in May of the third year, he was added to the guard of the lieutenant, but the king did not try to send troops. In the Khitan Kou Prefecture, King Wei was sent to attack Yanmen and was defeated by Xiurong.
Before Shi Jingyao's death, there was another military bigwig who could compete with Shi Jingyao, and that was Yang Guangyuan.
Yang Guangyuan was also a standard military leader in the post-Tang Dynasty, and the army that later besieged Jinyang surrendered to Shi Jingyao under the leadership of Yang Guangyuan.
How much power Yang Guangyuan had in the Shi Jingyao era, as long as he knew one thing.
When Yang Guangyuan led the encirclement and suppression of Fan Yanguang, he once did many things that exceeded his authority, and the civilian system imposed several restrictions on him. After the victory in encircling and suppressing Fan Yanguang, Yang Guangyuan said that the head of the civilian system had abused his powers, hoping that Shi Jingyao would give an explanation, and Shi Jingyao could only deal with the head of the civilian system to a certain extent.
Guangyuan surrounded Yanguang and sought to teach Wei Bo to be an envoy. With the handle of the army in his hand, he thought that Gao Zu was afraid of himself, interfered slightly in the government affairs, or resisted and played, and Gao Zu also followed it... Sang Weihan was a Privy Counsellor, and often catapulted his own affairs, and Guangyuan was far away. And Yan Guang descended, the light far into the Dynasty, and the face played Wei Han's power. Gaozu was credited to the country with Guangyuan, and was out of Weihan Town Xiangzhou, Guangyuan stayed in Xijing, and the town of Heyang was also the town of Heyang, because he was relieved of his military power.
Of course, in the process, Shi Jingyao also began to cut Yang Guangyuan's domain.
First of all, in the name of the reward, Yang Guangyuan's younger brother was greatly promoted.
Gao Zu said of Guangyuan: "In the Battle of Yuancheng, qing left and right have made meritorious contributions, and have not been rewarded, and now each has a county, and it is honorable to be honored." "For the destiny of the assassins are all men.
Second, Yang Guangyuan was transferred to other military regions. Of course, in order to appease Yang Guangyuan, he was made the King of Dongping.
Shi Wang established the party from Qingzhou to move the town to Guangyuan as the envoy of the Pinglu army, and was enfeoffed as the King of Dongping.
Similar personnel transfers can be carried out smoothly, which in itself proves that the centralization of power was very strong at that time. Because when the centralization of power is limited, similar personnel transfers usually lead to rebellion.
First, the central government's casual transfer of the younger brother of the military boss through promotion is itself an infringement of the power of the military boss.
Second, the central government's mobilization of military leaders to leave their old lairs is also an infringement on the power of military leaders.
If the central government does not have enough power, these two things are actually taboo, because if you dare to make a big fuss about these two aspects, you usually force the military bosses to rebel.
Of course, Yang Guangyuan's cutting of the domain was not carried out thoroughly, so after Shi Jingyao's death, the Later Jin and the Khitan were at odds, and Yang Guangyuan contacted the Khitan to invade the south.
Guangyuan Yijiao secretly informed the Khitan that it would be advisable to take advantage of the fact that the Jin lord had violated the alliance with germany, that there was a great famine in the territory, and that the public and private sectors were exhausted, and that it would be advisable to attack it in one fell swoop; Zhao Yanshou also advised him.
Yang Guangyuan's meaning is simple, that is, to find opportunities to replicate Shi Jingyao's success. But unfortunately, in the end, the government army was cornered and suppressed.
The government army besieged Qingzhou City for seven or eight months, and finally Qingzhou City was starved of grain and grass, and it is said that half of the people who starved to death began to eat people.
Yang Guangyuan still wanted to persevere, but his son advised him not to insist on it. Yang Guangyuan said that many years ago, some people said that I have an imperial appearance, I will not lose, the darkness before dawn, and holding on for a while is hope.
His son saw that at such a time, he was still such a stubborn general, so he launched a mutiny, arrested Yang Guangyuan and surrendered to the government army.
In the winter of November, Chengxun and his brothers Chengxin and Chengzuo saw that the people in the city were about to eat each other, and the governor was not good, so he persuaded Guangyuan to surrender and hope to avoid the Chi tribe. Guangyuan was far from accepting, saying: "When I was in Daibei, I tried to sacrifice the heavenly pond with paper money and camels, and all of them sank, and people have the heavenly sons of heaven and earth, and when it is appropriate to wait, do not speak lightly." ”
The government army entered Qingzhou and secretly executed Yang Guangyuan, claiming that he had died of illness.
A person like Yang Guangyuan secretly executed him is actually the greatest preferential treatment for him, because executing him in this way means that the government's pursuit of relevant events ends here. If he is publicly convicted, many people will be implicated, at least his family, and it will be difficult to escape.
The reason why the government disposed of Yang Guangyuan in this way was because Yang Guangyuan's son chose to surrender at the last moment. And Yang Guangyuan's sons, who betrayed Yang Guangyuan at the last moment, hoped to get this kind of ending.
The imperial court blamed Yang Guangyuan for a great crime, and the sons returned to their fate, which was difficult to show their condemnation, and ordered Li Shouzhen to engage in cheap work. Leap Moon, Deca, Shou Zhen entered Qingzhou, sent people to kill Guang far more than Beidi, and died of illness.
Although shi jingyao's six years as emperor has always been excessive, the centralization of power in Shi Jingyao's hands has obviously been further developed.
Because while encircling and suppressing Fan Yanguang and An Chongrong, and weakening Yang Guangyuan, it was also a process of successfully cutting the domain.
More importantly, in this process, Shi Jingyao also divided the civilian system to a certain extent. For similar reasons, high-ranking civilian officials who competed with the emperor (such as powerful civilian leaders like Guo Chongtao and An Chongjie) could no longer appear.
Since Liang, the military state has been in great politics, the Son of Heaven has consulted with chongzheng and privy councillors, and the prime minister has been ordered to make edicts, talk about allusions, and govern literary affairs. Emperor Mingzong of Tang punished Emperor Mingzong of Tang for his tyranny, so he ascended the throne at the beginning of the reign, but ordered Sang Weihan to be also a privy councillor. and Liu Churang as a Privy Councillor, who played more than one thing and did not pay attention to the will, would punish the funeral of his mother, Jia Shen, abolish the Privy Council, in order to print the Zhongshu, and the affairs of the Court were all entrusted to the Prime Minister. With the deputy envoy Zhang Cong'en as the envoy of Xuanhui, the zhishi scholar Kurabe Langzhong Situ Xue and the Gongbu Lang Zhongyan dismissed the official. However, Xun Chen's recent habits do not know the general body, are accustomed to stories, and want to repeat them every time.
If you continue to move forward along this road, the development of the Central Plains Dynasty may be less tortuous. But after Shi Jingyao's death, should he continue to submit to the Khitan in the face? The Later Jin Empire was divided, and finally the main warrior faction gained the upper hand, so the Later Jin and Khitan went to war in an all-round way.
Although the Later Jin Dynasty repelled the first round of khitan attacks, it was finally defeated.
Although it is said that in the process, the military power once again rose again, but it may not be a bad thing for the centralization of power in the Central Plains Dynasty. Because we know that the greater the internal crisis, the more general membership tends to grant more power to the central government.
In this huge disaster of the Central Plains Dynasty, people finally discovered that the Khitan was far more dangerous than everyone imagined. After that, when someone tried to find foreign aid from the Khitans, it was difficult to open the situation quickly, because people would clearly know that this was to lure the wolf into the house.
Shi Jingyao's conclusion in the traditional history books is actually not too bad. Because the history of the Five Dynasties, especially the history of the Old Five Dynasties, was obviously based on the official materials of various dynasties when they were created.
In this kind of official information, it is natural to beautify the founding emperor in various ways, and the official information of the Later Jin Dynasty is no exception to Shi Jingyao; and whether it is Liu Zhiyuan, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, or Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, they all followed Shi Jingyao to make a fortune, so the Later Han and Later Zhou also lacked the motivation of ugly fossils when writing history. Because of the ugly fossil Jingyao, Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Wei followed Shi Jingyao in the past, what happened?
Therefore, the tone of history can usually recognize Shi Jingyao's plight and affirm his achievements.
First, in the context of the time, it would be unwise to go to war with the Khitans. Bearing the burden of humiliation is a must. Just as when Shi Chonggui ascended to the throne, some people said, for the benefit of the people of the country, what is the shame of being humiliated?
The Jin emissaries went to the Khitan and the Khitan were arrogant and did not speak inferiorly. The messenger also, in order to smell, was ashamed of the emperor, and the emperor was tireless, thinking that there was no gap between the final emperor and the Khitan in the life. However, the amount of money lost is not more than a few county rents, and it is often entrusted to the people and cannot be fully counted.
Li Song said: "What a shame to bend down and think that it is a social order!" His Majesty is like this, and he will bow down every day and fight the Khitans, and it will be useless to regret it at that time. ”
Second, the centralization of power in the later Jin Dynasty was strengthened; the economy recovered and developed very well.
When the Jin Dynasty was new to the world, many of the clan towns did not obey; or although they obeyed, they were uneasy. In addition to the war, the treasury of the government was exhausted, the people were poor, and the Khitan consulted tirelessly. Wei Han advised Emperor Tuicheng to abandon his grievances in order to soothe the town, to bow down and pay homage to the Khitans, to train soldiers to repair their weapons, to work in agriculture and mulberry to cultivate real warehouses, and to trade with Jia to enrich the goods. In a few years, China was a little bit safer.
Of course, this tone obviously has the tendency to beautify fossils. But Shi Jingyao's image became worse and worse, obviously later.
Because it is far away from the background of that era, people are more likely to condescend to analyze historical figures, as if it is because of a slag stone Jingyao, so history has been rewritten.
In fact, in the context of the khitan's strength, there were many people who were willing to copy Shi Jingyao's success, but there was no chance.
The most classic thing is that the golden sword Yang Invincible initially served in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Han Emperor also called the Khitan Emperor a subject and a father, the key is because the basic disk is small, so it is even more bullied by the Khitans, and the Northern Han Emperor has always hoped to copy Shi Jingyao's success, but he can't do it.
At that time, although Shi Jingyao was a vassal of the Khitan and called him a father and a land cut, the Later Jin and the Khitan were obviously two countries of equal strength, so the Khitan did not have the strength to participate in the internal affairs of the Later Jin.
Khitan involvement in the personnel of the Later Jin Dynasty was usually only an acknowledgement of facts. For example, let Shi Jingyao reuse Sang Weihan, reuse Liu Zhiyuan, or reuse Shi Zhonggui. This was ostensibly an intervention in the personnel issues of the Later Jin Dynasty, but in fact it was only an acknowledgement of the facts, because without the intervention of the Khitans, Shi Jingyao would have done the same.
The most ironic thing is that the last person who actively opposed the Khitan was the one that the Khitan named Shi Jingyao to reuse.
The emperor and the Khitan lord will lead the army south, and want to leave a son to guard Hedong, consulting the Khitan lord, and the Khitan lord ordered the emperor to give up all his sons and choose himself. The emperor's brother was precious, the father respected Confucianism and died early, the emperor raised himself as a son, and the emperor was short, and the Khitan lord pointed to it: "This big eye can also be." "It was Chonggui who stayed behind in Beijing, Yin in Taiyuan, and Jiedushi in Hedong."
Later, the Khitan once, nakedly wanting to interfere in the personnel appointment of the Later Jin, was politely rejected by Shi Jingyao.
It is said that since the beginning of the Huangchao Rebellion, Dingzhou has always been the territory of the warlord Wang Zhizhi's brothers. Wang Chuzhi's son used to take refuge in the Khitans, so the Khitan Emperor said to Shi Jingyao, according to our Khitan rules, Wang Chuzhi's son should be allowed to administer Dingzhou.
Shi Jingyao said that according to the rules of our Central Plains Dynasty, this is not the case. The Khitan Emperor was angry when he heard this, and you suddenly climbed to the throne from the throne of Jiedu, which is in line with the rules of your Central Plains Dynasty?
In this context, Shi Jingyao did not dare to fight with the Khitan Emperor, so he said, since you think that you should let Wang Chuzhi's descendants be the head of Dingzhou, this is a good thing to say.
So Shi Jingyao made Wang Chuzhi's nephew the highest military and political governor of Dingzhou, and this nephew did not have to ask, and had nothing to do with the Khitans.
In the beginning, Yiwu Jiedushi made the king zhiziWei, avoided the difficulties of the king's capital, and died in the Khitans, until the end, Yiwu lacked a marshal, and the Khitan sent an envoy to say, "Please make Wei attack the father's land, as I have done." The emperor said that "the Chinese law will be self-piercing history, regimental training, defensive order migration, and even moderation, please send wei here, and gradually add it to use." The Khitan Lord was furious, and sent the envoy to say, "Erzi Jiedu made the Son of Heaven, and there is also class evil!" "The emperor was afraid that he would not be troubled, and he bribed the Khitan generously, and asked his brother Sun Zhangde to make Ting Yin the envoy of the Yiwu festival to disgust him." The Khitan was angry.
