Chapter 402: The Background of Li Wenzhao
Chapter 402 Li Wenzhao’s Background
"Damn Nest Valley!"
In a valley, a young man in Han Chinese attire with intact hair looked at the scattered team and injured companions around him, with angry flames in his eyes.
However, this young man is not Han. He is a serious Dangxiang member and even has blood from the Xixia royal family. In terms of seniority, Liang Zuo should call him his clan brother.
Li Wenzhao.
Yuan Hao was violent, but there were times when civil servants were re-employed. The most classic one was the appointment of Han Chinese Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao.
According to historical evaluations of these two people, it was their defection that enabled Xixia to complete the successful transformation from a nomadic tribe to a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic dynastic political system.
In fact, this is entirely a way for the Han people to put money on their faces. The entire process of Xixia's transformation was controlled and participated by party elites. Li Wenzhao's family is the representative of these elites.
Li Wenzhao's father was the younger brother of Li Yuanhao. He was one of the few Xixia people who was proficient in Sinology, but his mother's clan was even more powerful.
The Yeli family.
Ye Lishi was Li Yuanhao's first queen.
The Yeli family was so beautiful back then.
Among the family members, Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong were both Xixia generals, and could be called the twin walls of Xixia.
He had many tactics and was good at using soldiers. The soldiers he led in the mountain realm were known for their good fighting skills. They traveled across the mountains and frightened the soldiers of Song Dynasty.
In the first year of Yanzuo's reign in the Western Xia Dynasty, the two men commanded the left and right armies respectively. They were named Dawang and were promoted to Ningling. Most of the plans for the war against the Song Dynasty were jointly planned by the two men and Yuan Hao.
Even more powerful was Yeli Renrong, who was known for his extensive knowledge and knowledge of allusions. At that time, Yuan Hao personally called him the minister of Gu Gong.
Li Wenzhao is the grandson of Yeli Renrong.
In the first twenty years when Nori married Li Yuanhao, everything was smooth sailing: his brother was a minister of the country and held military power, his mother was well-liked and loved by the world, and she gave birth to three sons to Li Yuanhao.
The Yeli family liked to wear a "Qiyun crown" made of gold wire, so Li Yuanhao ordered that no one except the queen was allowed to wear it anymore.
It's a pity that when the moon is full, it will be waning, and when the water is full, it will overflow.
The youngest son Li Xili died in infancy.
The eldest son, Prince Li Ning, knew etiquette, loved learning, and understood righteousness. However, he was kind-hearted by nature and did not like glory and wealth. He believed deeply in Taoism and fantasized about becoming an immortal through it.
Li Wenzhao, who was his companion at the time, tried to persuade the prince, but it was of little use.
The Taoist thoughts of the Han people were obviously not in line with Li Yuanhao's ambition and political ideas for hegemony. Gradually, the prince was ignored by the king. He disliked him very much and even ordered that he was not allowed to enter.
One day a few years later, when Li Wenzhao went to the East Palace again, he was told that Li Ningming had gone crazy while practicing Qigong and could not eat and died.
As a member of a political family, Li Wenzhao naturally knew that there was something fishy about the prince's death.
Li Wenzhao was educated by his grandfather, so he immediately went back to tell his grandfather that the Yeli family's crisis began today.
However, his grandfather told him not to worry, saying that he was just a member of the Yeli clan and that his personal ups and downs were insignificant compared to the Thousand Years of Great Deeds of the Dangxiang people.
Wai Zheng is promoting the writing he created for party members.
There is no doubt that the king valued his grandfather at that time.
Jingzong officially proclaimed himself emperor, and his grandfather and minister Yang Shousu were actually the masterminds.
Most of the laws and regulations created before and after the founding of Xixia were written by my grandfather.
Moreover, he was very clear-headed. Although he created the Dangxiang script and translated the "Book of Filial Piety", "Erya", and "Four-character Miscellaneous Characters" into the vassal language, his political views were very different from those of Han Confucianism.
He also scorned Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao's suggestion of copying the Song system.
His political purpose is "the rise of a king must lead to the rule of one generation." He firmly opposes the policy of "converting the Xia to the barbarians", that is, replacing the party's national culture with Chinese culture.
He pointed out: "In the past, Shang Yang's law was strong and the country was hegemonic, and Zhao Wu and Hu were subdued and the army was strong. The country was surrounded by mountains and rivers inside and outside, with Bodhisattvas and Han Dynasties mixed together. They were brave and fond of hunting, and their daily service was soldiers and horses. They did not have the spirit of etiquette, music, poetry and calligraphy."
"If we teach utility according to nature and impose strict punishments and rewards according to customs, then the people will enjoy war and conquest and practice vigorousness, they can control China and control the barbarians and barbarians. How can they be defeated by just talking about etiquette and righteousness."
Li Wenzhao admired his grandfather very much. In his mind, a country can be prospered by one person, and he meant people like his grandfather, who could be compared to Guan Zhong in Qi and Zhuge in Shu.
After the founding of the country, my grandfather became even busier. Yuan Hao asked him to serve as the Moning Ling, which means the king of heaven. He was the main counselor beside Yuan Hao. Not only did he preside over government affairs, he was also the spiritual leader of the Xia Kingdom.
In the first year of Daqing, the Xixia writing system was established, consisting of twelve volumes, with square characters and complex strokes.
The ministers expressed their praise, so Yuan Hao ordered to change the Yuan Dynasty, revered it as the "national character", and forcibly promoted its use in the country, stipulating that "the imperial edicts on art and literature in the country should be translated into Yifan scripts."
In diplomatic documents, all communications with the Song Dynasty were written in Han and Tibetan scripts, while those with other ethnic minority regimes were written in both Tibetan and Han scripts.
After that, my grandfather’s main focus was on culture and education. He recruited talents and taught the children of Han bureaucrats, so that they could be awarded official positions after they completed their studies.
He also urged all states to set up Tibetan schools to educate their people. For this reason, my grandfather was affectionately called the "Sage Teacher" by the Xixia people.
This is comparable to the achievements of Confucius of the Han Dynasty.
Unfortunately, only five years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my grandfather passed away due to mental and physical exhaustion. Yuan Hao "came to his death three times" and cried bitterly: "How can you take away the speed of my legs and arms!"
Presented to Marquis Fuping.
Then, the political winds slowly began to change.
Although the last son of the Yeli family, the second son Ning Lingge, was succeeded as the crown prince, in order to consolidate the imperial power, the king began to consciously weaken the power of the Yeli family and other party nobles.
Soon, Li Yuanhao used Song Dynasty general Zhong Shiheng's counterintuitive plan to execute Yeli Yuqi, Yeli Wangrong and their entire family. The queen lost her most important supporter in the court.
After the Yeli brothers were killed, Queen Yeli cried to Li Yuanhao from time to time and complained that the two men died unjustly. Li Yuanhao also expressed some regrets for his hasty execution of the Yeli brothers, so he tried his best to find the survivors of the massacre.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, Yeli Yuqi's wife, Meizangshi, was found by Yuanhao and brought into the palace.
However, the emergence of the Muzo family became the last straw for the Nori family.
It's not a life-saving straw, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back.
As a descendant of the Yeli family and an adviser to the previous and later princes, Li Wenzhao's fate was doomed.
Therefore, he escaped and fled into Hengshan, where the Yeli family was quite influential. He raised a team of his own and started a rebellion against the Li family in Xixia.
After the Wu Zang clan was destroyed and Liang Zuo came to power, instead of pardoning Li Wenzhao, he urged the border troops to step up their arrest.
As a result, Li Wenzhao was forced to leave Hengshan and come to the even more chaotic Liugufan sphere of influence.
Liang Zuo also knew that Li Wenzhao was from the Yeli family and a loyal minister to the second prince. In his eyes, he was just a bastard born of an unscrupulous king and a woman who cheated on her husband.
The existence of Liang Zuo is itself a shame to the Yeli family.
The political views were also different. Li Wenzhao inherited his grandfather's legacy and advocated that while learning from the advanced experiences of all ethnic groups, he should also maintain the independence of the party and the nation.
In Li Wenzhao's eyes, Liang Zuo's behavior was a cycle between wolfishness and servility, either one extreme or the other.
It has completely lost the dignity that an independent nation should have, and therefore lost the qualifications to dialogue with other nations, as well as the trust of other nations in party members.
Neither of them can tolerate each other.
When the autumn harvest began in Weizhou, the little magistrate suddenly changed his style and began to organize the army to suppress the border, arresting spies, and sent out reconnaissance cavalry.
The attitudes of the various factions surrounding Weizhou have also undergone tremendous changes, and they are obviously leaning towards Weizhou.
However, Su Mingrun did not pose much of a threat to her. What Xiao Su Tanhua often said was that business is business.
However, the most hateful thing is another Song person, a traitor of the Song Dynasty, Xing Jin of Xixia.
With his appearance, his geographical advantage in Liugufan was completely lost. His past nest valley and current family beam were completely lost.
This is an insidious and cunning lackey, and a shameless person.
After Tugan's death, his tribe was annexed by Liang Yiduo and rewarded to Jialiang.
Jialiang accepted Tugan's wife as a head wife, and also regarded himself as the spokesperson of the Tugan tribe, which brought a lot of benefits to his wife's family.
Of course, he also made a lot of contributions to the agency trade with the Song Dynasty. In fact, this family Liang was in charge.
However, these are just appearances. The eyes of this evil wolf have actually been fixed on him for a long time.
After careful investigation and deployment, Jialiang grasped Li Wenzhao's activities, and then led the Tugan tribe and Bubazi to launch a long-distance attack and broke into Li Wenzhao's secret residence.
