When the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun saw the ministers argue, he looked at Liu Jiye of the military officer train, the general who was the mainstay of the court.

"General Liu, what about your opinion?"

A man in his fifties, who was burly and beautiful bearded, walked out of the train when he heard that he was named.

He was Liu Jiye, whose original name was Yang Ye, and was given the name Liu Jiye by Liu Chong, the founder of the Northern Han Dynasty. Yang Jiye, who was often called in dramas in later generations. He was the son of Yang Hongxin, the governor of Linzhou of the Later Han Dynasty. When he was young, he was good at Renxia, ​​was good at riding and shooting, and had high martial arts skills.

After the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, he followed Liu Chong, the founder of the Northern Han Dynasty, and served as the commander of the defense. He is famous for his bravery. Because of his loyalty, bravery, he is always wise and resourceful, and has been promoted to the governor of Jianxiong Army. He has "Liu" in the Northern Han Army.

Invincible".

Liu Jiye has a high prestige in the army and is well-known for his war. Once he comes out, he represents a general of the pro-war faction and the real power faction. Therefore, the civil ministers will not argue for the time being, and wait for him to answer.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I think that with our troops at present, if we send troops directly now, tens of thousands of troops, we may not be able to gain much advantage. It is better to wait and see the situation of the war first and see how far the Song Dynasty and the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan can fight, and whether

The Song Dynasty consumed a lot of money, and it was constantly needed to increase troops and transport food and grass to the front line.

"If the Song Dynasty fell into a fierce battle and restrained the main forces of the Song Dynasty, then we can seize the opportunity and contact the Liao Kingdom in the north and the vassal forces in the northwest, and jointly attack the borders of the Northern Song Dynasty, and win without asking for a single sentence of destruction

If we lose the Song Dynasty and invade the city of Bianjing, we can regain the territory of our Han Kingdom. With land and people, the country will naturally become stronger after a few years of renovation."

Liu Jiye's analysis is reasonable, his thinking is clear, he is not radical, nor is he afraid, he just needs to wait for the opportunity and make a move later.

"What General Liu said makes sense, it's safer!"

"I agree with General Liu's proposal!"

"I agree!"

Many civil officials and military generals responded and agreed.

In addition to Pingzhang, Guo Wuwei also stood out of the train and supported him: "General Liu's proposal is not anxious or impatient. I think it is feasible. When the Song Dynasty fought against the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan, we can also send You Xiao, secret spies, etc.

, to spread rumors in the Song State that the Liao State would send troops to attack the Song State, which would disintegrate the cohesion of Bianjing City and the people in various places, drag the Song army back, and make the Song ministers even wave the flag. This is a plan.

”

"In addition, we must step up the reorganization and training to build an elite force that can drive straight in. Once the war begins, we can quickly sweep a few cities and recover them, so as not to fight for a long time and consume a lot of money. The treasury of our Han Kingdom is becoming increasingly empty

, I'm afraid it won't stand several front-line battles."

The Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun nodded when he heard this, and expressed his affirmation of Prime Minister Guo Wuwei and Liu Jiye's suggestion. He glanced at him and saw the prince Liu Jien standing in front of the ministers and among the emperors, and asked, "Crown Prince, what do you think."

?”

When Liu Jien heard that he was named and asked about his political views, he was a little nervous. His qualifications were mediocre, and he could be memorized in the great principles of governing the country. When he arrived at the scene, he was inferior.

In fact, the Crown Prince Liu Jien was not originally named Liu, but was originally named Xue. His father Xue Zhao was not used by his father-in-law Liu Chong, and he was separated from his wife Liu. One day, Xue Zhao got drunk because

After a few quarrels, he pulled his sword to stab Liu. After awakening from alcohol, he committed suicide directly for fear of crime. At that time, Liu Jien was still young and his uncle Liu Jun had no son, so Liu Chong regarded his nephew as Liu Jien.

Liu Jiyuan has been adopted by Liu Jun.

After Liu Chong passed away, Liu Jun ascended the throne, he appointed Liu Jien as the Yin of Taiyuan and the Crown Prince of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, Liu Jien's qualifications were mediocre. Liu Jun often complained to his subordinate Guo Wuwei that Liu Jien had no talent for governing the country. Prime Minister Guo Wuwei also took the opportunity to persuade the emperor to change his position.

Liu Jiyuan was the crown prince, but was rejected by Liu Jun. The matter was left unresolved, but it made Liu Jien even more worried about his position as the crown prince.

"Well, what General Liu said is reasonable, with true insights and proper analysis. My son and son also think it makes sense and can be implemented."

Liu Jien did not say any great truth, but instead picked up people's wisdom. He supported everything with the highest support. He agreed with the wise and famous ministers among the people. This way, he avoided saying wrong words and avoid offending some important officials.

He conducted behind the scenes.

National affairs and mediocre qualifications are not well aware of it, so it is difficult for a country to stand on the monarch of a country and make decisions in the important position of the temple, involving too many complex things such as national defense, military, economy, system, and land. Liu Jien grew up in the palace.

There is no such reason for having so much insight and thinking. Because he lost his father and was adopted for foster care, he was trembling in the palace life and was cowardly in his personality. There is also a reason for this.

Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun showed a hint of disappointment, and was still as disappointed with the qualifications and talents of the prince.

However, the chief system is an inheritance system that the royal family has overstable power and respected by the literati. He cannot depose the crown prince just because of his personal preferences. Looking back on history, Emperor Wen of Sui deposed the crown prince Yang Yong and changed the establishment of Yang Guang, but the result was that the Sui Dynasty

The death of three generations means that the work was not carried out according to a set rule.

Once this hole is opened, the princes will be introverted and fight each other. The prince and ministers will collude with each other. In order to get support, many factions may be formed. In the end, they will take risks and even dare to kill the lord. The brothers will turn against each other.

It will make the court unstable and the royal family unstable.

"Are there any other good friends?"

General Li Yin clasped his fists and said, "I think that I should prepare early. The northwest vassals had long been in the plan for the inclusion and annexation of the Song Dynasty. Although the Yang family of Linzhou had been dependent on the Later Zhou Dynasty in the early years and now surrendered to the Song Dynasty,

The other three states and vassal soldiers and military governors are all holding their own troops, so we can make use of them."

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Yang family in Linzhou originated from Chang'an and settled in Linzhou. After nearly a hundred years of inheritance, they developed into a family of military generals in the famous town of northern Shaanxi. They and the Zhe family of Fuzhou, Wang family of Fengzhou, and Li family of Xiazhou.

Together, it also formed the "four major families" in northern Shaanxi back then.

If we put it in detail, Liu Jiye, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was born in the Yang family in Linzhou.

During the Five Dynasties between the Tang and Song dynasties, wars continued and powerful people fought for hegemony. In the late Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong, who was named "King of Jin", occupied the northern part of Jin and Shaanxi provinces, and appointed Zhe Silun as the governor of Linzhou.

After Li Cunxu succeeded King of Jin, he was busy fighting with Zhu Wen of the Later Liang Dynasty. In order to consolidate river defense, he ordered Zhesilun to build a Fuzhou City on the bank of the Yellow River north of Linzhou and move the Linzhou army here.

At this time, the city defense of Linzhou was empty, and local forces rose up. Yang Hongxin took this opportunity to enter the city of Linzhou and proclaimed himself the governor; his younger brother Yang Hongrong stayed in Yangjiagou to protect his family property, and his descendants have reproduced to this day. Yang Hongxin is in power.

Linzhou has been through the Five Dynasties and has always adhered to the principle of "looking at the overall situation of the Central Plains and then seeking to surrender."

Until the establishment of the Later Han Dynasty, although Yang Hongxin admitted that Linzhou belonged to Hedong, he firmly controlled his jurisdiction. Liu Chong, who was once the Taiyuan Yin of Hedong in the Northern Han Dynasty, accepted Yang Hongxin's eldest son Yang Ye (Liu Jiye) at this time. Under the tent. After the establishment of the Later Han Dynasty, even though the eldest son served Liu Chong, Yang Hongxin still accepted the title of Later Zhou.

After Yang Hongxin's death, his second son Yang Chongxun succeeded to the position of governor. Because his elder brother Liu Jiye was in the Northern Han Dynasty, he also reigned with the Northern Han Dynasty. However, because many of the northern Shaanxi ministries were ordered by Zhou at that time, Yang Chongxun was appointed by the Northern Zhou Jiedushi. After the surround, he surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty again. After that, the Northern Zhou Dynasty promoted Yang Chongxun to the Linzhou Defense Envoy. Because he avoided the taboo of Chai Zuxun of Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he changed his name to Yang Chongxun.

This is the relationship between Liu Jiye and Linzhou defense envoy Yang Chongxun, and the reason for the establishment of the Zhe family in Fuzhou. The most interesting thing is that Liu Jiye’s first wife, Zhe Saihua, is the daughter of Zhe Dejing. His family can contact the Yang family in the northwest. The two major separatist forces of the Zhe family.
