The spring breeze blows across the Huangshui River, and most of the plateau grasslands in Northeast Asia are full of life, and the mountains and rivers inside and outside Linhuang Mansion are also adding more greenery. In this season full of life, the capital of Liaoshang is immersed in a sad atmosphere, sad
There is a lot of urgency and depression among them.
Shangjing City has been under martial law for almost a month, and there are still no signs of reopening. However, white flags are erected high on the city, and the city is densely covered with ribbons. A large number of Liao clans, nobles, generals, and leaders rushed back from outside Ji.
They were all restricted in the city, and were not allowed to enter or leave...
The reason for all this is very simple. Emperor Yelu Jing of the Liao Kingdom died suddenly and unexpectedly. For any country, the death of the emperor and its leader is a major event, which is often accompanied by political turmoil.
If you are not careful, it will be an accident.
For the Liao Kingdom, the situation was even more serious because Emperor Yelujing died abnormally and was assassinated. Yelujing, who had been in charge of the Liao Kingdom for nearly 20 years, was considered a leader of this era and was shrouded in power.
With the light of glory, he was one of those big figures who could stir up the storms of history, but his death was aggrieved and even absurd.
As for the cause of death, the root cause lies in his personal character and style. He was too harsh and cruel to people close to him such as his servants, and regarded them as slaves.
In the later years of his rule, Yelujing's mental state was extremely unstable due to years of alcoholism and internal and external pressure. On the one hand, he persisted in his style of caring for his officials and caring for the people for nearly twenty years.
The internal servants also became more harsh and cruel, killing them at every turn.
At the beginning, even Emperor Liu was a little puzzled when he learned about this situation. The contrast between Yelujing's two sides was too obvious. He could be tolerant and kind to outsiders, so why he was so strict with the attendants who accompanied him or even served him personally. Think about it.
Go on, apart from his own mental and psychological problems, he probably really didn’t regard those chamberlains as human beings...
Of course, from the perspective of a bystander, Emperor Liu was able to make calm and objective judgments, even make comments, and even marvel. But he himself may not realize that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and his close attendants are also afraid of him.
Never before had there been many people around Emperor Liu who had been convicted for various reasons over the years, and even more had lost their lives. However, Emperor Liu was not as manic as Yelujing, and did not show his nameless anger.
Let's start the killing...
As for Yelvjing, after meeting with Emperor Liu in Baishuiluo and returning to Beijing, she became even more crazy and distrustful of the servants around her. In three or two months, the people serving around her were changed again. And she was replaced.
Most of the people were either dead or maimed, or were convicted and exiled, and there was basically no happy death.
This makes staying around Yelujing like playing a horror game. You can be guilty at any time and encounter a life or death crisis. Everyone in the chamberlain is in danger and the mental pressure is also high. What consequences this will lead to is dire.
Unexpectedly, after a long period of suppression, it broke out...
On the night of the Suburban Festival on December 23, the seventh year of Kaibao, Yelujing drank and enjoyed himself as usual, falling asleep with a hangover. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he did not reprimand the servant for the first time, and even gave some wine and meat to express his kindness.
reward.
However, in the early morning of the next night, shortly after Yelujing fell drunk, two rewarded servants, Shande and Nuli, after cleaning up the palace tent, pulled out Yelujing's personal golden sword and assassinated him.
Yelujing, who was deeply drunk, had no defense at all, and no ability to resist. He was stabbed three times with fatal blows, and passed away in a daze. He died peacefully, at least he did not feel much pain.
....
That golden sword was used by Yelujing to execute the chamberlains with his own hands, and it was ultimately used by two chamberlains to kill the king. The reincarnation of cause and effect during this period is really sad.
The two chamberlains, Shande and Nuli, were from the fourth tribe of Khitan. They were soldiers in the Pishi army and participated in the Han-Liao war. Unfortunately, they were selected as imperial chamberlains half a month before the incident.
The two of them committed murder in passion. After the regicide, they calmed down and fled in panic. In their haste, they inevitably showed off their tricks and were caught by the flying dragon maid. She sensed something was wrong and stopped her to inquire about the situation. Found two
After removing the remaining blood stains on the person's body, the two launched a brazen attack and were captured by Nuli and several guards.
Later, when he went to the imperial tent to ask for an audience, he discovered that the emperor Yelv Jing had passed away, and his blood stained the bed red. The girl was just a small flying dragon envoy, but in the face of such a sudden change, she played a big role and also
Finding an opportunity to make progress, he urgently discussed emergency arrangements with Yelu Yila, the palace guard responsible for the residence.
The emperor was assassinated, and Yeluyila had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. Just when he was frightened and helpless, he was manipulated to death by a few girls. He had no objection and just obeyed their arrangements.
The two discussed how to put the imperial camp on guard, block the news, and at the same time notify the prestigious noble ministers to come and take charge of the affairs. Under normal circumstances, it would be the most suitable person to inform King Yelv Bi of Yue to take photos. He is not only Yelujing's brother, but also the most suitable person.
He has a reputation as a virtuous person and is highly respected.
However, Nuli notified three other people, King Yelv Xian of Qi, Prime Minister Yelv Xianshi of the Northern Mansion, and Xiao Siwen, the servant. This is a bit particular. At the moment, there are four nobles in the center of power in the Liao Kingdom, namely King Yelv Bishe of Yue,
Yelu Xiezhen, the king of the South Court, Xiao Husi, the Privy Councilor of the North, and Yelu Xianshi, the Prime Minister of the North.
Even if someone were to be found to clean up the situation, it was not Yelu Xianshi's turn. Even though Yelu Bishe and Yelu Xiezhen were not there, and Northern Privy Councilor Xiao Husi was there. But Nvli only informed the above three people, and her intentions were evident.
A spot.
Yelvxian's identity is naturally sensitive, and his reputation is on the rise not long after he was granted the title of King of Qi. Xiao Siwen lost his army and territory due to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Tanzhou, and because of his relationship with Taiping King Yelvkun, he
The relationship between Zhao Wang Yelu Xiyin and the son-in-law of the two clan rebels was always not trusted by Yelu Jing and was quite rejected. It took several years for him to make a comeback. His position as a minister was basically a false position and he did not have much real power.
As for Yelv Xianshi, he is both civil and military, and is known as a talented person who has helped the country. He has been deeply trusted by Yelujing over the years. Not only is his name different from Yeluxian by just one word, but he has always had a close relationship in private...
King Yelvxian of Qi was not at the camp at that time, but was worshiping Buddha at Yunmen Temple north of Beijing. When he learned of the drastic change, he did not hesitate at all. He took only a dozen guards with him and braved the cold wind and went straight to the Black Mountain where the camp was located.
When Yelvxian arrived at the camp, there was already a tense atmosphere there. When Yelvxian arrived at the imperial camp, the first thing he did was to lift the high-pressure alert to avoid people's speculation. However, the news of the emperor's death was unexpected.
The scope of the blockade was enlarged. At the same time, Xiao Wuli, who was accompanying him on the right side, was summoned to control him, relieved of his military authority, and Xiao Siwen was sent to take over.
Therefore, the entire camp was quickly controlled by Yelv Xianshi and others, and Yelv Xian's arrival gave everyone a backbone. Several people discussed in secret, continued to hide the news, controlled the camp, and returned to Beijing quickly to maintain the situation.
To avoid riots.
What happened next went very smoothly. When we returned to the upper capital, we still kept the secret of mourning. We faked the emperor's order and ordered that the entire city, including the palace, be under martial law and the streets and markets be cleaned. No nobles, civil and military ministers were allowed to do so without permission.
In and out.
After all the basic matters had been taken care of, and most importantly, the control of the army was in his hands, Yelv Xianshi came forward and summoned the clans, nobles, and ministers to tell them the news of the emperor's assassination.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to the ministers of the Liao Kingdom. After all, he was the emperor who had ruled the Liao Kingdom for nearly twenty years. Although he had all kinds of absurdities and various behaviors that were puzzling to ordinary people, he had served the country for so long.
Whether he died suddenly or was stabbed to death, the impact caused by this was naturally huge.
It is not difficult to digest this news, and it does not take much time, but it is followed by all kinds of suspicions. Thinking of the series of actions of Yelv Xianshi and others, such as Taiping King Yelu Sage, Anping King Yelu Di
The clan headed by Lie, as well as Yelujing's confidants, naturally began to question a lot, and every sentence was very heart-breaking, almost directly accusing Yelu Xianshi and others of committing regicide and treason. After all, the death of Emperor Yelujing was too sudden.
, it’s too strange, conspiracy theories have a market in any era.
Although the overall situation is already under control, facing this turbulent crowd, Yelv Xianshi and others also feel great pressure, especially Yelv Xianshi who is pushed to the stage to preside over. What they rely on is to gain the upper hand and control the situation.
For most of the army, this kind of control is just a matter of convenience and is not actually reliable. In this case, people's hearts are different.
