Chapter 3 Cultural Invasion

The pupils in Yelu Bishe's eyes shrank. He lived deep in the palace and had no knowledge of such trivial matters among the people. Hearing what Han Derang said, his heart trembled.

After being the emperor of Khitan for many years, Yelvbi took charge of the internal struggle and came to power. The most troublesome thing was the dispute between Khitan and Han.

Nowadays, many Khitan people are complaining that he, the Khitan emperor, has his elbows turned outward. He likes to use Han people but not Khitan people. He likes new people but doesn't like to use old people.

Yelv Bishe is a difficult person. If possible, who wouldn’t want to use people from his own tribe? But can people from his own tribe be used?

All the bosses and thugs know how to fight and kill all day long. How many of them are qualified to put down their knives and govern the world and bring peace to the people?

Not to mention that Yelu Bishe ascended to the position with the support of Han officials, in terms of ability alone, figures such as Han Kuangsi, Gao Xun, Zhao Kuangyi, Guo Xi, and Liu Jing were not comparable to ordinary Khitan people.

Re-employing Han people will inevitably lead to a certain improvement in the status of Han people.

Coupled with the unique talents of the Han people in handicrafts, agriculture, commerce, and culture, there has been a gradual trend of taking over the spotlight.

Yelu Abaoji, the great ancestor of Khitan, promulgated the policy of Khitan ruling Khitan and Han people ruling Han people in order to prevent Khitan from bullying Han people.

Now the situation is reversed, it seems to be to prevent the Khitan from assimilating to the Han people.

Take the most basic writing as an example. Yelu Abaoji ordered people to create Khitan writing, and documents are mainly written in two languages. But among the people, who uses Khitan writing?

How can the three thousand Khitan texts written on the spur of the moment compare to the culture derived from China over thousands of years?

The funniest thing is that the world-famous Khitan scholar Yelu Chucai doesn't understand Khitan.

The biggest difference between Yelvbishe and Yelvxian is that Yelvxian really likes Han culture and is willing to accept it.

However, Yelv Bishe was not influenced by Han culture and reused Han people only for political needs.

When I heard about Han culture and read Luo Youdu's words again, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. I frowned: "Do the Southern thieves want to use culture to confuse my people?"

Yelv Bishe, like his father Yelu Deguang, regarded himself as Zhengshuo of the Central Plains.

In his eyes, Luo Youdu was just a thief who stole the Central Plains.

Han Derang nodded with a complicated expression and said: "Nine times out of ten... the emperors of the Southern Dynasties had so many tricks that it was difficult to guard against them."

When Handerang learned that Zhongyuan planned to recuperate, he was relieved in his heart.

Luo Youdu's force made them breathless.

Now they are besieging Pyongyang. If the Central Plains does not follow common sense, the Khitans will fall into a two-front war situation.

But then they realized that they were overthinking it. The Central Plains was recuperating, but the trouble it created for them was not small at all.

Xiao Hunian is one of them, and cultural invasion is another.

Not only lantern riddles, but also Li Yu's lyrics, Han Xizai's poems, Zhang Qixian's prose, and "Shuowen Jiezi" written by Xu Xuan and Xu Kai, the second emperor of Jiangdong, ordered by the Central Plains imperial court, all of which were written in Shangjing Linhuang in the East Khitan territory. It was spread in various places where Han people gathered, including Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing, Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and Dongdan.

Han Derang had nothing to do about this. Xu Xuan and Xu Kai's "Shuowen Jiezi" and Zhang Qixian's prose could be suppressed from books.

But Li Yu's lyrics and Han Xizai's poems cannot be sealed at all.

The number of words in this poem is very small. Both of them are geniuses in the world, especially Li Yu. His classic lyrics are very popular and coveted.

The suppression of this culture gave Khitan scholars a feeling of inferiority and full of longing for the Central Plains.

Handerang couldn't imagine how many Liao traitors the Khitan would produce if things continued to develop.

Handerang had already noticed that something was wrong, but he never dared to say anything.

This is a conspiracy.

This is not the era of ignorant people in the pre-Qin period. Even most people in the Khitan have their own ideas, let alone the Han people who were wiser earlier?

If you want to restrict the spread of Han culture, it will definitely lead to oppression.

The result is either resistance or laying the foundation for future troubles.

The only solution is to form the cultural self-confidence of the nation, but is it more about the Central Plains than the cultural heritage?

How can it be?

This is an unsolvable problem.

During this year's Lantern Festival, Handerang discovered that lantern riddles were all over Beijing.

As far as he knew, Luo Youdu came up with the lantern riddles two years ago.

This year happens to be the third year. It is hard to say whether it will spread throughout the Central Plains and even reach Beijing.

This is not done intentionally, but it is a ghost.

At this point, he had to report the real situation to Yelu Bishe.

**********

The Khitan general who was ordered to pursue Yelv Xian, Yelv Pode, was named Yelv Xianshi.

At this moment, Yelv Xian was following the traces of Yelv Xian and Yelv Pode, his face tense and his expression complicated.

He is the son of Lu Bugu, who preceded Yue Yelu. He is one of the few Khitan figures with both civil and military skills. However, he is low-key and does not show his ability. He is willing to retreat quietly and hunt for his own entertainment. He is a refreshing figure among the second generation of Khitan.

.

It was Yelvxian who first discovered Yelvxian's ability.

When Yelv Jing was the emperor, all Khitan officials belittled Yelv Xian for being unfit for the crowd and having mediocre talents.

Yelvxian discovered Yelvxian's inner wisdom and made friends with him.

The two have always had a good relationship.

Yelv Xianshi even persuaded Yelv Xian not to get too close to him, so as not to arouse Yelu Jing's suspicion. Apparently, he was interested in protecting Yelv Xian and assisting him.

However, after the Khitan coup, Yelv Bishe came to the throne. The second-in-command in Yue Yelu House discovered Yelu Xian's ability and recommended Yelv Bishe, "This man is in charge of the country, and the world is very lucky."

Yelvbi was entrusted with the important task of regent, Yelvxiuge and Yelvxiezhen were responsible for the southern and northern campaigns, while Yelvxian was able to lead the troops to defend the capital.

After this series of changes, Yelvxian had no hope of becoming the master of Khitan.

Yelu Xianshi could only hide his thoughts in his heart.

Feeling the biting cold wind scratching his cheek, Yelu Xianshi's heart trembled, and a thought came to his mind: "Xian Ning has been weak since he was a child. He has been coughing in winter. I am chasing him so fast, will he not be able to hold on?"

?”

As soon as this thought came out, I thought about the unexpected encounter with Yelvxian three days ago.

Both of them are extremely intelligent people who have their own concerns. They haven't seen each other for a long time.

Yelu Xianshi vaguely remembered Yelu Xian reciting a poem by Li Yu, and said with emotion: "I have been ill since I was a child and was born to have a short life. I have nothing else to seek in this life. I just want to go to Bianjing to have a look and experience the book for myself.

It’s a scene of all the nations coming to court.”

Yelvxian said appropriately: "But the Southern Dynasty is our enemy!"

Yelvxian smiled and said: "That's because you are too petty! In my opinion, the Khitan is Zhengshuo, and the Southern Dynasty is also Zhengshuo. It depends on who annexes whom. As a Khitan, why don't I want to see the Khitan drinking from the Yangtze River?

The Yellow River? It’s just the magnanimity of the emperor of the Southern Dynasties, even more so than our emperor. With the current situation, why should we deceive ourselves? I have a special status. I can only do nothing in Khitan and die of illness. I might as well find an opportunity to go to the Central Plains to have a look."

Yelvxian thought about this and yelled: "Asshole! It was planned!"
