In Duting Post, Liu Liufu walked around the courtyard, restless and restless. When he came, he was cold and the ground was frozen. Fu Bi also left him in Daming Mansion for 10 or 20 days with the reason of icy and slippery road. At this time, the flowers were already in bloom. Since leaving the Khitan, two or three months have passed. He has been under house arrest in this inn, which makes him feel more and more extraordinary.

Since the Enyuan Alliance, Song and Liaoning have had good friendships, and both sides have maintained friendly relations. The two sides have been engaged continuously and the envoys are familiar with everyone. Whenever there are major festivals on both sides, or the birthdays of the emperor and the queen mother, they will send envoys to each other. In general, both sides respect each other and have peace of mind.

The Khitan country names were divided into Chinese and Khitan languages. In Khitan language, they always called themselves the Great Khitan or Khitan country, abbreviated as Khitan. The Han country names were the Great Khitan most of the time. Only after the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were presented in Shijingtang, the name of Xinde Han land was the Great Liao, and its former land was the Great Khitan. In the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo, the Song army defeated Yelu Xian, the Liao Dynasty, who was invaded south in Mancheng. The entire Khitan area was invaded. In order to prevent the Song Dynasty from competing for Yanyun, the name of the Great Liao was called the Great Khitan. In history, it was not until the third year of Emperor Yingzong's Zhiping that the Khitan country names of the Khitan country were renamed the Great Liao, and its original words claimed to have always been the Khitan.

Xu Ping called him the Liao Dynasty in his previous life, just to show that he was in opposition to the Song Dynasty. They were both the same dynasty and were together as the orthodox dynasty. However, in this era, the Song people almost never called him the Liao Dynasty, especially in formal exchanges. Many of the names in historical materials were later recounted. Only in the decades when the Khitan Dynasty finally destroyed did Liao become their widely called.

The claim to be a Khitan shows that they still regarded themselves as foreign countries at this time and had a sense of psychological superiority. It is something that many people in their territory regard themselves as the Great Liao Qu Ying Han people. However, their long-term contact with Han culture is still inevitable, especially those who have some cultural pursuits.

This was the case with the Khitan master Yelu Zongzhen. He received cultural education from a young age, and was good at poetry and painting green. He once painted goose and gave Zhao Zhen a gift, and had extremely high attainments. Zhao Zhen was good at calligraphy, especially the popular "Flying White Book" in this era. He was a great master and gave it back to him with "Flying White Book".

The growth process of Yelu Zongzhen was similar to that of Zhao Zhen. His mother, Xiao Nojin, was born into a palace maid, and had a low status, and was similar to the origin of Empress Dowager Liu. When Yelu Zongzhen ascended the throne at a young age, Xiao Nojin became the empress dowager and was regent in the court. In the first year of Jingyou, he and Zhao Zhen were in charge of power.

Similar experiences and the differences in details made Ye Lizongzhen yearn for Han culture even more.

His biological mother was Xiao Nojin, but she was not raised by Xiao Nojin. Because Empress Qi Tian had no son, she raised him personally, treated him as her own son, and was extremely kind. Compared with the relationship between Zhao Zhen’s biological mother, Li Chenfei and Empress Dowager Liu, it was exactly the same.

However, cultural differences have brought about different results. Empress Liu raised Zhao Zhen like a parent and child, but the control was extremely strict, and it can be summarized in one word. Empress Qi Tian raised Yelu Zongzhi, but she was extremely kind, and could be summarized in one word.

When he ascended the throne at a young age, the commander of Empress Dowager Liu, and Zhao Zhen's biological mother Li Chenfei did not recognize his son until his death. However, the commander of Xiao Nojin, the commander of Khitan, was Xiao Nojin. His son ascended the throne, and he established himself as the empress dowager, and decided to command himself. However, Xiao Bossa Ge, the empress dowager, was falsely punished by Xiao Nojin on charges of rebellion. Zhao Zhen was Empress Dowager Liu's death in old age, and Yelu Zongzhen was Xiao Nojin's opinion that he was in power and wanted to abolish it. After that, Yelu Chongyuan ran to tell Yelu Zongzhen that Yelu Zongzhen decisively led troops to imprison Xiao Nojin, and led his followers to rule.

The Empress Dowager, who was also in power, was also ambitious. Although Empress Dowager Liu made some small moves, she faithfully fulfilled her duties in general. Xiao Nojin was greedy and violent, and was willing to kill, and widely gang members and supported her family.

On the surface, if Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Qi Tian exchanged, and Concubine Li Chen and Xiao Nojin exchanged, they would be very happy. In fact, it would not be the case. The Khitan could not produce Empress Dowager Liu, and the Song Dynasty would not allow Xiao Nojin to take office. This is a fundamental cultural difference.

During Zhao Zhen's growth, he lacked the warmth of an ordinary person. The ministers of the Song Dynasty and Empress Dowager Liu fully demonstrated what the royal selflessness was. Zhao Zhen's personal emotions were placed in the least important position, and everything was for the stability of the government. During the growth of Yelu Zongzhen, Xiao Nojin and the Khitan nobles fully demonstrated how to turn the national politics into a family farce.

From Zhao Zhen’s personal perspective, he would envy Yelu Zong’s true encounter. He was very restrained, his biological mother Li Chenfei was also very restrained, and the court officials were even more restrained. If Li Chenfei could be the queen mother, everything would be perfect. But as an emperor, Zhao Zhen knew that it was impossible. The real encounter between him and Yelu Zong was caused by different political foundations of both sides.

And Yelu Zongzhen also envied Zhao Zhen? He had never felt the warmth of mother and son. His biological mother did not bring him any warmth, but instead had a family torn apart and turned against him. His yearning for Chineseization was enough for his growth experience.

From a personal perspective, Yelu Zongzhen was more inclined to the Song Dynasty and hated Yuan Hao. He himself advocated sinicization, while Yuan Hao was anti-sinicization. In terms of value orientation, the two were completely opposite.

What is Chineseization? What is Hu Feng? In fact, when Yuan Hao ascended the throne, he said it very clearly that he wore furs and worked in animal husbandry. Nomadic culture is Hu Feng, and farming culture is Chineseization. The ruling group is based on the agricultural areas of the Central Plains. If Hu Feng is still maintained, it will inevitably lead to a series of discomforts. Without Chineseization, their rule will be unable to proceed. They can only be looted robbers and cannot establish a long-term rule. Only as long as the nomadic group entering the Central Plains will face this problem.

The Khitan was also facing this problem. As the ruling center moved more and more to the Youyan Han cultural area, the ruling class became more and more sinicized. One of the appearances outside was that there were more and more people like Yelu Zongzhen who were good at literature.

Why did the Six Towns Rebellion that led to the demise of the Xianbei? The ruling upper class quickly became a Chinese, that is, to advocate literature, and the force that relied on to support the regime still maintained the old customs of Xianbei, that is, to be fond of martial arts, and to emphasize culture over military forces, and to resist. Every nomadic group entering the Central Plains by force has to face such a problem. If you do not respect literature, you cannot rule the Han area that supports the political and economic foundation of the regime. If you do not care about military affairs, you will have to face the resistance of conservative forces.

This is their necessity, because the basis for their ability to take over the world is force, and the result of betraying military power is obvious.

From Yelu Zongzhen's personal opinion, Yuan Hao was beaten to pieces by the Song Dynasty and he gloated, and he still wanted to beat him. For the countries under his rule, whether it is tradition or reality, it is impossible to explain if he doesn't get something from the Song Dynasty at this time.

Liu Liufu came to the Song Dynasty with this mentality. Originally, there was Xiao Ying behind him, who later set out to negotiate with Song on the road. However, he did not expect that after entering the Song Dynasty, he was polite with Fu Bike and was placed under house arrest within two days, while Xiao Ying was stopped outside the country.

Liu Liufu has no idea what will happen in the future.
