"This, according to what the teacher said, although the Liao Kingdom fell to Emperor Tianzuo, it actually fell to Liao Xingzong Yelu Zongzhen, and it first fell to Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu"
It actually died in Liao Dynasty There are actually two reasons for Xingzong. One is that during the Xingzong period of Liao Dynasty, the senior officials in the imperial examinations of Shengzong Dynasty relied on their elders and betrayed them, and were not obedient. Xingzong was at odds with his courtiers, especially those in the south who were in charge of the Han people.
However, the way to boost the power of the emperor is to try not to promote people, which leads to the shortage of one of the two official positions in the south. Although this shows that it saves the court's expenses. However, the shortage of manpower caused the remaining southern officials to rely on private masters to work.
Following this, more and more government affairs and courts turned a blind eye. This caused the original power of the imperial court to drift to other places. The common people found that it was better to find a place to stay for the old gentry than to find a court. The majesty of the imperial court was fundamentally eliminated. Moreover, there is no one in the imperial court, and it is even less possible to collect land tax and business tax. This further exacerbated the deterioration of the court's finances. Liao Xingzong, who thought he had a plan, insisted on reducing officials and began to save money. From now on, there is no getting out of this cycle. In the later years of the Xingzong Dynasty, military generals could not be promoted. When the border is attacked, soldiers often don't know who to listen to. Because each station has the highest military commander. The imperial court could not find suitable generals for a time after the incident. Militarily, the Liao soldiers, known for their offensive nature, were forced to switch to full-time defense.
In addition, the biggest drawback of the Xingzong Dynasty was the frequent wars. He successively conquered the Northern Song Dynasty and Western Xia Dynasty many times, and even made three expeditions to North Korea to help North Korea put down the Silla rebellion in the south. Just after the three conquests in Korea, the female straight people took advantage of the lack of military strength in the Liao Kingdom and began to gain power in Liaodong. In the end, Xingzong actually hoped to have a scribe lead the army, claiming that the army of 500,000 troops would be divided into three groups to capture the female straight people. As a result, the Liao army marched blindly without knowing anything, but the Nüzhi people concentrated their superior forces and defeated them one by one.
Among these three armies, the Middle Route Army was actually led by the Qing Xue Army who started with the Liao Kingdom, led by the Emperor's Guard. He was buried in Sarhu, Liaodong, by a scribe who knew nothing. From then on, the demise of Daliao was just around the corner. The fact that it can continue to support two generations of emperors is entirely due to the fact that there are too few straight women. After the Battle of Sarhu, it took time to digest the results and conquer Mongolia and North Korea. Secondly, straight women themselves are uneducated and do not know how to govern a country. This learning process takes time.
As for the death of the Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, the root cause is the sinicization of the Shengzong, the introduction of Confucianism and the imperial examination, and this has never changed since then. As everyone knows, there was no purely Confucian dynasty before the Song Dynasty. Even if we refer to the Eastern Han and Tang Dynasties, it only lasted for more than a hundred years of peace. The Liao Kingdom has experienced six emperors from its founding to the end of Shengzong, which lasted 115 years.
It is purely natural to expect that Confucianism copied from the Northern Song Dynasty can easily help the Liao Kingdom cross the two-hundred-year threshold.
Of course, another comparison shows that the Liao Kingdom, which first relied on miscellaneous studies, then medicine, and then Confucianism, enjoyed a period of 218 years, which was much longer than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, which relied solely on Confucianism. After fleeing to the west, the Western Liao Kingdom Zuo established with grassland miscellaneous studies175 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty, which retreated to the south of the Yangtze River with Confucianism, only enjoyed the 152nd year of the reign of Zuo.
In fact, if Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty was really that good, Song Shenzong would not have been thinking about reform. When Liao Shengzong sought out such a teacher to learn from him, he could only say that if the Khitan people were not good at fighting, the Liao Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago.
When Song Yingchang broke these apart and talked about them bit by bit, there was no need to deliberately emphasize the incompetence of Confucianism, it was basically clear.
"These are what your teacher said in the letter to you." Jiajing stared at Song Yingchang with some confusion.
"Half of it is, and half of it is guessed based on the teacher's words and the outline of the story. Although the teacher didn't say it explicitly, it's pretty self-explanatory," Song Yingchang still answered clearly.
"Why didn't your teacher write all this in the storybook?" Jiajing asked hurriedly. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
