Since she discovered that Liu E's body was a little abnormal, Li Zhang often took time to enter the palace and kept paying attention to Liu E's movements. During this period, Liu E was also very excited. Every day, she urged all civil and military officials to prepare for the ancestor worship of the Taimiao, and even postponed some government affairs for this. It seems that she regarded entering the Taimiao as the most important thing at the moment.

Just as Liu E was fully preparing for the Taimiao ancestor worship, news from the Liao Kingdom finally came. Just as Yelu Longxu had just passed away, Xiao Nojin immediately launched a coup, first proclaiming himself the queen mother, and then accusing Xiao Bossiege and Xiao Piddi of rebellion. Xiao Nojin had been preparing for this matter for a long time, but Xiao Bossiege had no preparation. As a result, Xiao Nojin was caught off guard. First, Xiao Bossiege was under house arrest, and then Xiao Piddi and others were also arrested.

Xiao Piddi is Xiao Pusattva's younger brother. He also has a younger brother named Xiao Xianbu. He was also arrested in this case, and there were more than 40 nobles in the Liao Kingdom who were implicated. While these people were captured, Xiao Nojin also seized the imperial power and began to act as the government.

The family power behind Xiao Bodhisattva and Xiao Pideng is strong, and the family relationship can be said to be intricate. At the beginning, when Xiao Pideng was arrested, countless ministers of the Liao Kingdom asked for them, and many people suggested not to kill Xiao Pideng and others.

But no one expected that Xiao Nojin was ruthless and knew that cutting the grass would eliminate the roots. If Xiao Bossa Ge's family was left behind, they would be counterattacked in the future. So Xiao Nojin ignored everyone's opposition and directly ordered the execution of these nobles. As a result, more than 40 great nobles of the Liao Kingdom died on the streets of Zhongjing.

As the empress dowager, although Xiao Nuojin wanted to kill this woman, she had no choice but to let her son, Xiao Pusata Ge's adopted son, the current Liao emperor Yelu Zongzhen pleaded hard, hoping that his mother would not kill his adoptive mother. In addition, many ministers in the court also pleaded for Xiao Pusata Ge. In the end, Xiao Nuojin had to let Xiao Pusata Ge live and moved her to Shangjing for house arrest, staying away from the political center of the Liao Kingdom.

When the Liao Kingdom's coup spread to the Song Dynasty, the entire Song Dynasty's court was also shocked. Although Xiao Nojin did not directly proclaim himself emperor, he monopolized the power through the coup, and became the second Empress Dowager Xiao. You must know that when Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, she defeated the Song Dynasty and almost forced Zhao Heng to move the capital.

However, what the civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty are most worried about is not the military, but the Song Dynasty had Liu E and the Liao Dynasty had Xiao Nojin. These two women successively seized the imperial power through different means, especially after Xiao Nojin seized power, and even rumors of becoming emperor were rumored to be called emperor. However, Liu E in the Song Dynasty was actively preparing to go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, which was almost no big difference from becoming emperor.

Perhaps it was Xiao Nojin's incident that gave the Song Dynasty a warning, so after the news came, a wave of opposition to Liu E's entry into the Taimiao broke out in the court again, especially Xue Kui, the guy who mocked Zhao Zhen for worshiping his daughter, led people into the Chuigong Hall to advise Liu E many times.

However, it is a pity that Liu E was determined to enter the Taimiao this time, and she did not listen to the advice of Xue Kui and others. In order to express her attitude, she directly demoted Yan Shu, who had just been promoted, from the capital again. In fact, Xue Kui was the most fiercely opposed. However, Xue Kui was the envoy of the Three Sessions, and the influence was far superior to Yan Shu. Liu E didn't want any chaos in the court at this time, so she killed the chicken to warn the monkey and killed Yan Shu, the important and not important "chicken".

However, Yan Shu's demotion did not scare Xue Kui and others, but instead wrote a letter to object even more fiercely. However, Xue Kui also learned to be smart at this time. He knew that it was impossible to completely dispel Liu E's idea of ​​entering the Taimiao, so he took advantage of the opportunity and still worked hard on worshiping. So he asked Liu E: "If you wear it like a king when you enter the Taimiao, how should you kneel down when you see them?"

Entering the Taimiao to worship ancestors was the emperor's privilege, so when Liu E proposed to enter the Taimiao, officials from the Ministry of Rites suggested that Liu E should wear the emperor's costume and wear the emperor's sword, which also meets the requirements of etiquette. It can be said that Liu E was actually the emperor on this day.

Maybe it was Xue Kui's advice that played a role, maybe it was because Liu E saw that the ministers opposed it so fiercely, so she decided to give in. So in the end, Liu E also followed Xue Kui's advice, which was to modify the dragon robe and crown she wore when she entered the Taimiao, which was mainly three aspects.

The first modification was the dragon robe. After discussion by the ministers, Liu E agreed to remove some patterns from the dragon robe she wore to distinguish it from the real dragon robe. The second modification was the accessories, that is, she no longer wore the Emperor's Sword.

The third and most important one is the head crown. The crown has always been a representative of the status of the ancients. The crown worn by the emperor during grand sacrifices is also called the crown. The so-called tar is actually a colorful silk rope. Each tar runs 12 pieces of colorful jade, arranged in order of vermilion, white, cyan, yellow and mysterious. Each piece of jade is 1 inch apart and 12 inches long. It is said that the crown is made by Huangdi and can only be worn by the emperor. The production is extremely complex and accurate, and there is no mistake.

However, in order to get the ministers to agree, Liu E also agreed to modify the crown she wore. Although the crown she wore was like the emperor, the twelve tars in front and back, the tars were not colorful jade used by the emperor, but pearls commonly used by women. Officials of the Ministry of Rites also gave this different crown with a nice name "Yitian Guan".

Although some things were removed, in the eyes of ordinary people, Liu E's crown is still not much different from the dragon robe. Especially when Liu E tried on this outfit, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were also called to watch it. As a result, the two of them stared at each other for a long time before they found out a few subtle differences. This was because Zhao Zhen was originally the emperor and he often wore this dragon robe. If it were someone else, he would have to give him a set of real dragon robe and then play the game of "finding different pictures".

With the creation of Liu E's special dragon robe, some ministers in the court finally accepted the fact that Liu E was going to enter the Taimiao. After all, they had already tried their best. Now, unless they directly launched a coup and imprisoned Liu E, no one would stop her from entering the Taimiao.
