In the official history, Emperor Shi Jingtang recognized the Khitan king as his father, ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, and was willing to bow to the outside world. However, according to a saying in later generations, because Shi Jingtang was a Shatuo native, he should not be regarded as a traitor... Li Tianqu originally believed that this was biased.

In terms of bloodline, families such as the Zhe family and Huyan family were Hu people outside the border, and they were not Han people. However, since they could be recognized as part of the Han civilization representing the Central Plains, there were good ones, and there were naturally bad ones.

Shi Jingtang was born in Taiyuan, Hedong. He loved to read military affairs since he was a child, and praised famous generals such as Zhao Mu and Zhou Yafu, and accepted the degree of sinicization. Moreover, the Later Tang regime he was originally loyal to was the second dynasty of the Five Dynasties in official history, and the Li family in Hedong really regarded himself as the upright of the Tang court in the previous dynasty.

In terms of blood relationship alone, even if Shi Jingtang was not a Chinese Han, he spoke Chinese, wore Hanfu, and behaved no differently from other Han warlords who dominated the country... He betrayed the interests of the Han civilization in the Central Plains, so it is not wrong to call him a traitor who was always nailed to the pillar of history shame.

As for Sang Weihan, a close confidant who was highly valued by Shi Jingtang according to historical records... Whether in terms of bloodline or the activities he did, he was definitely a big traitor.

Li Tianqu thought in his heart that Sang Weihan's fame and wealth were all begged Shi Jingtang, so he did not hesitate to beg Yelu Deguang, and according to the historical records, "kneeled in front of the tent, from day to night, crying and fighting for it." After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, a long general was indignantly surrendered to the Khitan, but Sang Weihan wrote a letter to the seven must-haves against the Khitan. Shameless, as the main planner of Shi Jingtang's stolen country and usurpation of the throne, he was in exchange for power. The position of the first hero of the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty led to the Han people in the Central Plains being under the threat of the northern nomadic people for hundreds of years... It is not an exaggeration to call him a complete national scum.

However, Li Tianqu also knew that Sang Weihan was shameless, but he did have the talent of Wang Zuo. In the early days of the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, he served as the prime minister, Privy Councilor, Hanlin Bachelor and other important positions. He used farming and sericulture to stabilize the granaries, traders to enrich wealth and wealth as the national policy, attached importance to agriculture and commerce, and made the country richer, and in terms of political achievements, it has to be said that it is also commendable... Even the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once clearly stated that he highly praised Sang Weihan's ability to govern the country.

However, Li Tianqu thought that Sang Weihan was somewhat similar to Gao Yu, who was good at managing finances at the time. He could open up wealth for the country, but he was also a huge corrupt person. He twice became prime minister, and used his power to seek personal gain, and accepted bribes to make money. In a few years, he accumulated a huge amount of money, which attracted criticism from the government and the public.

In terms of the current situation, Sang Weihan directly surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty, rather than Shi Jingtang, who occupied Hedong in the official history, but was about to face the attack of the Later Tang army... Then he did not need to slap in favor of the Khitan, so if he said that he was selling his country for glory, it was not a fait accompli.

But even so, Li Tianqu admitted that he was just wearing tinted glasses to look at that guy. In the face of big trouble, such a person was obsessed with profit and would not care about national justice. These personalities were engraved in his bones... Then how could I give you the opportunity to take charge of the government?

However, waste can be used, scum can also be used.

Since you, Sang Weihan, also has the talent to govern the country, I will give you the opportunity to perform hard... You think you will have the hope of entering the power of the Wei Dynasty, and naturally you will do your best to achieve political achievements. However, you are greedy and insatiable. After you have a certain status in the officialdom, you will inevitably be corrupt and abuse your power and accept bribes to make money.

When Li Tianqu thought about it, I was secretly observing how much effort you would put into the country and how much money you would be greedy. When the money you embezzled and collected was enough to kill the heads several times, I would consider how long you would continue to work for the country. But after all, you would have to put the heads in the ground. But when the order was issued to investigate, it all depends on my mood...

In short, you will work hard for a few years, but for more than ten years, you will step into the gate of hell... behead your head, search your house, and live together.

Li Tianqu glanced at his eyes, and his eyes fell on the list of Jinshi this year, and he murmured:

"Lu Qi, the son of Lu Yan, is also going to be an official, so he can reuse it..."

At that time, Li Tianqu and Li Keyong jointly sent troops to destroy the Jieyan regime, shocked the Khitan troops to retreat, and divided the two towns of Lu Long and Henghai. Liu Rengong's eldest son Liu Shouwen was not killed by his brother Liu Shouguang as he was in the original trajectory. Instead, he surrendered to the Wei Dynasty. Lu Yan, who was the judge of the Henghai Army at that time, surrendered with his master.

However, according to the official trajectory, Lu Yan would defend the city and resist Liu Shouguang's army. He would set up slaughtering affairs until the food and fodder was exhausted, and he would set up slaughtering affairs, specifically slaughtering residents in the city to help the soldiers guarding the city to satisfy hunger... Fortunately, the situation has changed. The Henghai Army was taken by the Wei Dynasty, so Lu Yan did not have to be loyal to the emperor, rather than to commit the crime of massacring innocent people as military rations. However, Li Tianqu hated him very much. Even if he was appointed, Lu Yan was still a small official of the seventh rank.

However, Lu Yan's son Lu Qi was a talented person. According to historical records, he was kind and tolerant and fair after entering the official career. He made great contributions to punishing evil and was also far-sighted. It was precisely because Lu Qi realized that Shi Jingtang wanted to rebel, so he would have to use foreign tribes, so he proposed to marry the princess to the Khitan by marriage, and then gave gold and silk, intending to stabilize Yelu Deguang. In short, he destroyed Shi Jingtang first and then argued with the Khitan later.

But Xue Wenyu, an old angry young man in the court, strongly protested and lowered his attitude, and first stabilized the Khitan's plan, and said, "Isn't it a humiliation to be the emperor's respect and worship the barbarians? If the barbarians follow the story, why should they refuse?"... This inspired the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, to take his anger on Lu Qi, and Shi Jingtang finally fought for the Khitan to send a large army to rescue him in time, so that he had the opportunity to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty, and usurped the throne and established the Later Jin Dynasty.

If Lu Qi's plan was adopted, it would be impossible for Yelu Deguang to hesitate, and he would win time for the Later Tang Dynasty to destroy Shi Jingtang first... But at that time, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke and some ministers could not see the situation clearly and wanted to save face, which led to the Hedong rebels and the Khitan army uniting, and they would inevitably end up with the collapse of the country.

Li Tianqu said that Lu Qi served as an official, ritual, criminal, household, military department, and even the Privy Council, Duanming Hall, Secretary-General and other official agencies, and was quite effective... According to his original career trajectory, he was originally a censor in the palace, so he was praised by the people for his ignorance of corruption and abuse of power and caused many unjust cases.

Then let Lu Qi, who had just entered the official career, go to the Censorate to experience it, and then transfer to other departments based on his political achievements. He may not be unable to take over the ranks of Lao Weizhuang in the future, and the court supervisory agency is in charge of supervision and inspection, impeaching officials, and rectifying discipline.

What's more, Lu Qi's eldest son, Lu Yuqing, was a staff member of the dominant family when Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, and during the Song Dynasty, he discussed political affairs with Prime Minister Zhao Pu; his second son, Lu Duan, was praised as the wise minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who "Zhuge was cautious in his life, and Lu Duan was not confused in his major affairs." So although his old son Lu Yan was an official in the Wei Dynasty, although he was not popular, since Lu Qi had already become an official, he could have two generations of capable ministers who could be used more seriously.

Li Tianqu was still thinking about how to arrange for the important officials such as Ren Yuan and other capable officials who had surrendered to the Wei Dynasty before, but who had the disadvantages of being arrogant and other in the reign of Emperor Mingzong of Tang. However, during the reorganization of the high-ranking officials of the court, Zhang Xiao, the chief supervisor of the patrol guards, rushed to the inner hall and came to Li Tianqu to report:

"Your Majesty, Nanwu has also taken the evidence... The secret spy sent by me was under the price of the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse. I have found that there were ships traveling by sea in the name of a merchant to Liaodong, and then returned. After verifying the rest and reconciliation of the Maritime Warehouse Port, all the people were captured..."
