After Guo Wei became emperor, he was amnesty for the whole world. The next day, Empress Dowager Li was honored as Empress Dowager Zhaosheng and moved to the West Palace. Guo Wei ordered the relevant departments to choose a date to send a funeral to Liu Chengyou. After the funeral period was set, Guo Wei mourned and mourned, and stopped the court for seven days, banning music from the market. Guo Wei posthumously named Liu Chengyou as Emperor Yin of Han, and sent the former minister Liu Yu to protect the spirit.

At the beginning, Yang Bin was not familiar with administrative affairs because of his heroes and relatives, but most of the officials who were guarding the country were not familiar with administrative affairs, so he used the three generals of the imperial court's military command to resign from Duya, Kongmu official, and the guest of the internal guest. Those people relied on their orders as emperors, and most of them were domineering and the governor could not control them. At this time, all of them were dismissed.

Guo Wei ordered Shi Hongzhao's relative Li Chongju to visit Shi Hongzhao's relatives. Li Chongju said: "Shi Hongzhao's younger brother Shi Hongfu is still here." When Shi Hongzhao asked Li Chongju to take charge of his family's property, he obtained all the property of the Shi family, and Li Chongju handed over to Shi Hongfu. Guo Wei believed that Li Chongju was very capable, so he asked him to work under Guo Rong.

Guo Wei once said to Wang Jun: "I was born in a poor family and suffered hardships. I have suffered from troubled times, but now I have become an emperor once. How dare I give generously to my own offerings and let the people of the world suffer!" Guo Wei ordered Wang Jun to clean up the precious food contributed by all directions. Then, he issued an edict to stop paying tribute.

Guo Wei's edict generally said: "The only one who is supported in the world is to me, while the harmed ones are popular among the people." He also said: "The tributes are stored in the government, and most of them become useless." Then he issued an edict: "I grew up in the army, and did not learn from the army and do not understand the principles of governing the world. Civil and military officials are good for the country and the people. They write letters to me to let me know that they should make a statement directly and not be particular about words." Guo Wei wanted to reward Su Fengji's house to Wang Jun, and Wang Jun said: "This is the cause of Su Fengji's killing of the Li Song family!" So he refused.

After Liu Chengyou was killed, Liu Chong, the governor of Hedong and the Secretary of the Secretariat, learned the news and prepared to raise an army to march south. Soon, Liu Chong heard that the court was going to welcome his son Liu Yun to succeed the throne, and said happily: "Since my son is the emperor, what else can I ask for?" So he stopped moving and just sent people to Guo Wei to find out the truth.

When Guo Wei was young, his family was poor. He once embroidered a flying bird on his neck, so he called Guo Wei Guo Quer. Therefore, after the envoy from Hedong arrived in the capital, Guo Wei said to him: "If Guo Quer wants to be the emperor, he will not wait until today!" Then he pointed to the neck and said to the envoy: "Where is the emperor in the world? Please tell Mr. Liu, there is no need to be suspicious." The envoy said goodbye and returned Liu Chong, which made Liu Chong feel even more happy.

Li Xiang, the young master of Taiyuan, privately advised Liu Chong: "I see that Guo Wei's intention is to take the throne of the emperor after all. You might as well lead the troops quickly, cross the Taihang Mountains, and occupy Mengjin. Wait for Xuzhou's prime minister Liu to ascend the throne and then return to the town, Guo Wei would not dare to take action. Otherwise, you would be betrayed." Liu Chong was furious and slapped the table and said, "You corrupt scholar, want to alienate my father-son relationship!" He immediately ordered his subordinates to pull Li Xiang out and behead him.

Li Xiang shouted: "I have the ability to manage the world and help the people, but I am planning things for fools. I deserve to die! But I still have an old wife at home, and I hope to die with her." Liu Chong was even more angry when he heard this, so he killed Li Xiang's wife and reported to the court.

Reward means that you have no second intentions.

After Liu Yun was deposed, Liu Chong regretted it and had to send an envoy to ask Liu Yun to return to Jinyang. The court issued an edict and replied: "The Duke of Xiangyin is near Songzhou and is now returning to the capital. He will definitely be able to get what he wants. Don't worry about this. If you can work together to assist the court, you should be awarded the title of king and guard Hedong forever." Liu Chong got the edict, and naturally became angry and had a strange intention.

Gong Tingmei, who stayed in Xuzhou, heard that Liu Yun had lost the throne, so Yang Wen, the concubine Dong, who served Liu Yun, occupied Xuzhou and insisted on waiting for reinforcements from Hedong. Guo Wei asked someone to write a letter to them about the pros and cons, saying: Xiangyin Duke is still in Songzhou, and the court wants to let him move to the capital to live. But please don’t have any doubts, the court will definitely treat him well. It’s just that you are in Xuzhou, but please feel at ease. If you can work together to support the new dynasty and have no other concerns, the court will grant you the title of prince, Yongzhen North Gate, and give you the Iron Khitan Book!

Gong Tingmei received the edict and sent it to Liu Chong, saying that Guo Wei was extremely cunning and must be guarded. He also asked Liu Chong to send troops to rescue Xuzhou immediately. He was willing to defend himself with his coach Yang Wen and wait for Liu Chong's order. After Liu Chong received the report, he wanted to proclaim himself emperor in Taiyuan so that he could compete with Guo Wei, so he naturally had no time to help Xuzhou.

Although Gong Tingmei and Yang Wen did not receive Liu Chong's reply, they still raised the banner of the Later Han Dynasty and refused to obey the orders of the Later Zhou court. Guo Wei was furious and immediately sent the newly appointed Jiedushi Wang Yanchao to lead his troops to Xuzhou. Guo Wei forced Liu Yun to write a letter, asking him to tell Gong Tingmei and others to wait for the new Jiedushi to enter the city.

Liu Yun was under the eaves and had to obey the divorce letter. He asked Gong and Yang to welcome Wang Yanchao. Gong and Yang still refused to obey and stood firm in Xuzhou. Wang Yanchao came to the city and shot the letter into the city to persuade the surrender. Gong and Yang still refused. Wang Yanchao had no choice but to siege Xuzhou. Gong and Yang were on guard day and night, waiting for reinforcements from Hedong.

At this time, Liu Chong, the governor of Hedong, ascended the throne and became emperor in the palace in Taiyuan. His country name was still Han, which was often called Northern Han by later generations. He used the Qianyou era name and occupied twelve prefectures including Bing, Fen, Xin, Dai, Lan, Xian, Long, Wei, Qin, Liao, Lin, Shi. Liu Chong appointed the judge of the Jiedushi Zheng Gong, the observer Zhao Hua as the Tongpingzhangshi, and the second son Liu Chengjun was the commander-in-chief of the guards and the yin of Taiyuan. Li Cun, the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, was the commander-in-chief of the Daizhou, the deputy general Wu'an, Zhang Yuanhui, the commander-in-chief of the Cavalry and Infantry, and Chen Guangyu was the commander-in-chief of Xuanhui.

After the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong said to Li Cun and Zhang Yuanhui: "I just couldn't bear to have the great cause of Emperor Gaozu's death, so today's throne and reign title were called. But what kind of emperor I am, and what kind of military governors are you?" Therefore, he did not build a ancestral temple and worshipped ancestors like an ordinary family. The prime minister's monthly salary was only 100 knots, and the military governors only 30 knots. The rest of the officials had only meager support, so there were few honest officials in the Northern Han Dynasty. Li Guangmei, the guest provincial envoy, once served as a provincial official and was very familiar with the old affairs of the court. Therefore, all the systems of the Northern Han Dynasty were from Li Guangmei. Guo Wei learned that Liu Chong was the emperor and immediately sent people to Songzhou to kill Liu Yun, claiming that he died of a sudden illness.

Soon, Liu Chong heard that Liu Yun was killed and cried to Nan: "My descendant."

I regret not using the words of loyal ministers, which killed my son!" So I ordered people to build a temple for Li Xiang and sacrifice regularly. At the same time, Liu Chong reorganized his troops and repaired his armor and decided to take revenge. It happened that the Liao general Pan Yunian, on the order of the Emperor of Liao, wrote a letter to Liu Chong's son Liu Chengjun to ask about the national conditions.

Besides, when the Liao Kingdom learned of the chaos in the Central Plains, he took the opportunity to send troops to attack Neiqiu, and many casualties occurred. Then when the lunar eclipse came, many strange things happened in the army. The Liao Lord was frightened and did not dare to go further. He led his troops back and sent envoys to show goodwill to the Central Plains. Liu Ci, the governor of Anguo, sent the Liao Kingdom envoy to Daliang. Guo Wei met the Liao envoy and sent Zhu Xian, the general of Zuo Qianniu Guard, to visit the Liao Kingdom, and stated the reasons for the change of dynasty, and gave a lot of gold and jade to the Liao Lord.

Murong Yanchao sent envoys to the court to pay tribute, but Guo Wei had no intention of killing him. He was afraid that he would be confused and afraid, so he specially issued an edict to issue an edict to the Taining Jiedushi Murong Yanchao to be appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and sent Hanlin scholar Yu Chongliang to Yanzhou to announce the edict. Murong Yanchao came forward to express his gratitude.

On the first day of March, the edict replied: "In the past, because the previous generation lost their moral power, the young monarch listened to slander. At a critical moment, he summoned his beloved to the palace. He immediately ran and accepted the order, and rushed to the capital in two nights. This is really to save the country from danger without taking care of himself, and to hear the monarch's call without waiting for the car. When God ended the fate of the Han Dynasty, the army collapsed outside the suburbs of Daliang, and surrendered generals and defeated troops followed one after another. But the beloved immediately turned his horse and returned directly. For the king, the current situation, there was a beginning and an end. Only when the so-called danger was the so-called loyal ministers, and only when the strong winds were heard, the backbone of the vigor of the strong grass was known. If all the ministers could do this, then

Who wouldn't want to be appointed by a monarch of a country? The table said that I went to the north bank of the Yellow River to avoid giving in. When I was quelling the chaos outside the suburbs of the river, I was unable to send anyone to my actions because I did not receive a notice. But why should the ministers serve the monarch? If I had a half-hearted intention towards the Han Dynasty, how could I be loyal to the Zhou Dynasty? Isn't it too much to have fear from this? My dearestness is to do my best to ensure the peace of the people and the country. As for my former monarch, not only will the people be safe, but the country also relies on it. I just want to firmly up my dear role as a hero, and never discuss the replacement. The heartfelt words end here."

Guo Wei was still worried that the Liao Kingdom would take the opportunity to go south, so he planned to use Yedu to pacify the area north of the Yellow River to resist the Liao army. Guo Wei arranged for his confidant to guard the key cities. Guo Wei ordered the Ningjiang Jiedushi and the commander of the guards Wang Yin to be the one who stayed in Yedu. Tianxiong Jiedushi was the governor of Tianxiong, and he also led the guards as usual. He also brought the guards' entourage to Ye County to prevent the attack of the Liao army.

Besides, Liu Chong knew that his strength was far inferior to his opponent Guo Wei, so he asked for help from the Liao Kingdom. Liu Chong sent an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Lord received the request for help from the Later Han Dynasty, and of course, he was very happy. The Liao Lord agreed immediately. Liu Chong received the promise from the Liao Kingdom, so he sent troops to attack Yindi, Huangze, and Tuanbai.

The Northern Han army divided into five routes to attack Jinzhou, and Wang Yan, the governor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, closed the city gate and refused to leave. Liu Chengjun thought that Wang Yan was timid and ordered soldiers to climb the walls and climb the city like ants. Suddenly, the soldiers who were ambushing Wang Yan fought back, and the Northern Han army was killed and injured more than a thousand people. Liu Chengjun sent his deputy envoy An Yuanbao to burn the western city of Jinzhou, but An Yuanbao surrendered to the Zhou army.
