After Yelvxian left, Luo Youdu thought about every detail of his meeting with Yelvxian alone. His hands rubbed together unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face.
"If the barbarians and Di come to China, then the Chinese will come over to them; if the Chinese barbarians come to the barbarians, then the barbarians will come to them!"
"Your Majesty is not a bloodthirsty person. There is a shortage of Han people in Jiaozhi and Dali. The Khitan royal family is deeply Hanized, and their talents and learning are even more common. Most Han people. They have no influence in Jiaozhi and Dali, and they are no different from the Han people. It has been true for decades.
, that is, there is no such thing as a Khitan royal family.”
Yelvxian's words revealed two problems. First, he could not let go of the Khitan, and he had no choice but to leave. Second, he had a certain degree of benevolence and was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. Third, he proposed to treat the Khitan
The best solution for royalty.
In this way, Yelvxian will be useful when attacking Khitan in the future.
Luo Youdu does not intend to reuse Yelvxian prematurely, but this does not prevent him from squeezing all the value out of him.
If they win in the future, Yelvxian is the best candidate to persuade the remaining Khitan troops to surrender.
Especially the Khitan royal family who have mastered the core strength of the Khitan and intend to resist stubbornly, to avoid the situation of wildfire burning and spring breeze blowing.
With this in mind, I asked Mr. Hubei to call Zhongyou Jianyan.
You Jianyan is a scholar in his late forties and a capable person.
Luo Youdu had a very good sense of it and ordered him to find a house for Yelvxian near the Imperial College so that Yelvxian could easily integrate into the life of Bianjing.
After Luo Youdu arranged for Yelvxian, he continued to handle temple affairs.
After reviewing today's memorial, Luo Youdu asked someone to send today's newspaper.
Reading newspapers in his spare time is one of Luo Youdu's current habits.
As the mouthpiece of the imperial court to control public opinion in the world, the importance of the newspaper was among the top in his mind.
Luo Youdu took the newspaper handed by the chamberlain and read it carefully. The first page recorded national policies.
This aspect mainly allows the world's virtuous and talented people to understand the national conditions and the general trend of the world, but most people see it as a lively event.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Especially in the decades before this, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, warriors were rampant in the world, and literati were trampled under their feet.
The literacy rate across China has dropped significantly.
After Luo Youdu succeeded to the throne, he actively promoted culture and education and regarded cultural and educational achievements as one of the key points for officials to evaluate their performance. However, most of those affected were children and teenagers, and most of the adults were running around Hukou to support their families, and there was little opportunity to re-learn.
.
Of course, this does not rule out perseverance and perseverance such as Zhang Xiong, deputy commander of the navy.
Zhang Xiong grew up from an illiterate boatman to a general who commands more than ten thousand naval forces today. He is familiar with military books and proficient in water warfare. He really has great perseverance.
However, there are really very few such people.
Zhang Xiong's success is also based on meeting Luo Youdu.
Only when you have enough food and clothing can you achieve success in learning. Otherwise, how would it be possible for his eight sons to start by asking Confucian scholars to read military books and learn bit by bit.
Luo You glanced at it without taking a closer look.
This aspect was brought up by him and several prime ministers, so there is no need to read more.
The second page is what he attaches most importance to, and he will read it carefully every time.
On developing national politics.
This is a page for discussing current affairs. You can write articles, discuss current situations, give opinions, talk about local development, and even talk about military matters, and other aspects.
As long as it is beneficial to the court and the country, anyone can express their opinions.
This is an opportunity for everyone in the world to write a letter and express their opinions.
Luo Youdu always paid equal attention to civil and military affairs. He did not suppress the literati because of the weakness of the Song Dynasty, nor did he deliberately suppress the military people due to the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Instead, he sought a balance between them.
The treatment enjoyed by the literati of the Song Dynasty, to a lesser extent, was also enjoyed by the Luo and Yu court.
Luo Youdu discovered many talents here, including Zhao Changyan and Shi Xizai who put forward suggestions, as well as the medical genius Ma Zhi who reorganized "Compendium of Materia Medica" and so on.
Luo Youdu read it carefully and found that the article excerpted this time closely follows the facts and focuses on recuperation.
Or write about water control, or about opening canals, or about planting mulberry trees and encouraging farmers to talk about clichés.
It doesn't matter if you can write something new.
Articles that can be excerpted might have impressed people a hundred and eighty years ago, but now these things are already out of date.
Luo Youdu shook his head. The recent arguments were a bit unpleasant. It had been a while since he published an article that impressed him.
Then read on, there are introductions to the virtues of civil servants, and there are introductions to the heroic deeds of generals.
In short, it is to promote a concept: the civil servants of the Luo and Yu imperial court were of high moral character, and the military ministers protected the family and the country, and were brave and invincible.
Finally, there are poems, songs, and classic articles.
Luo Youdu closed the newspaper and felt lonely after reading it.
Is it aesthetic fatigue?
still?
To be honest, you shouldn't.
Spring is approaching, and scholars from all over the world are gathering in Bianjing. This is the time when talented people gather together.
Why aren’t there a few good articles?
Such thoughts flashed through Luo Youdu's mind, but before he could think about it carefully, Zhang Xiong walked in.
He brought the latest trends in Korea.
Because of the existence of Chen Chuyao and Yin Shenzheng, the war situation in Goryeo was all under Luo Youdu's control.
The Khitan and Japanese invaders attacked Goryeo from the north and south. Goryeo was caught off guard at first and lost dozens of cities in a row.
But as the front line shrank, both the Khitan and the Japanese were in a state of fatigue.
Among them, the Khitan army besieged Pyongyang City and could not take it for a long time.
After the Japanese captured Qingzhou, they attacked Sizhou in Shannan to the west, but stopped at the foot of Sizhou City.
The two attacking forces were in a stalemate for more than four months.
After trying to attack Pyongyang City for a month, the Khitan army chose to encircle it rather than attack it, and adopted a posture of encircling the city and calling for reinforcements.
However, the Japanese state had some internal conflicts, the details of which were unknown, and its offensive also weakened.
This time of crisis is the time when your abilities are most tested.
Chen Chuyao and Yin Shenzheng were both practical and the other was good at boasting. They successfully became the glue that integrated Han officials and Goryeo aristocrats, and their status in Goryeo increased significantly.
"Your Majesty, the Jurchen tribe crossed the sea and attacked Gaocheng County on Shuofang Road. They unexpectedly went straight to Jinhua County in Dongzhou."
Luo Youdu was stunned, then quickly took the map of Korea and found Jinhua County.
Goryeo was deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Many of the densely populated cities and counties on the map are familiar faces.
If it’s not copied from the Central Plains, no one would believe it.
"This is about to attack the city!"
Luo Youdu said that to the west of Jinhua County is Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, which is only a hundred miles away.
He paused and said: "This is a beautiful move by the Khitan! Although Pyongyang is not the capital of Goryeo, it is a barrier to the north. The ancestor of Goryeo attached great importance to this place and almost restored the original city defense of Goguryeo. The Khitan was not good at it.
They attacked the city with the idea of encircling the city and calling for reinforcements, hoping to consume Goryeo's effective military strength. As a result, they relied on Pyongyang's strength and refused to support them. Now, they went straight to Kaesong to see if Goryeo would support it."
"The Jurchens, Japanese, Khitan, and Mongols are all alive!"
Luo Youdu's eyes flashed and he crippled them all. In the next hundred years, there would be no need to worry about the East.
