Piao Tianzi    Chapter 272 The Dramatic Changes of Liao Kingdom

It was not a glorious thing for Zheng Gong to die in Linhuang Mansion drunkenly. Especially at this critical period when the Northern Han and Liao Kingdom formed an alliance, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Han Dynasty, Tong Pingzhangshi chose such a strange way of death, which would likely arouse unreasonable suspicion from outsiders.

Emperor Yelu Wuyou was also a little embarrassed and specially ordered King Yelu Shuzai of Yan, the government official, Gao Xun and others to go to the Northern Han to announce the imperial edict, and escorted Zheng Gong's body back to Jinyang City for inspection by the Northern Han officials to prove the innocence of the Liao Kingdom.

Soon, Yelu Shuza and others came to Jinyang City and stood on Liu Chong's hall to read Yelu Wuyu's imperial edict: Give Liu Chong the name Min, confer him as Emperor Shenwu of the Great Han Dynasty, and confer his official concubine as the queen.

At this time, Liu Chong was afraid that the Later Zhou army would invade a large amount, so he didn't care about his modesty and knelt on his own Golden Palace and kowtowed repeatedly to receive the order. After receiving the order, Liu Chong immediately ordered the Hanlin scholar Wei Rong to write an extremely humble article for him, and went to the Liao Kingdom to thank him for his gratitude, asking the Liao Kingdom to send troops immediately and jointly fight against the Later Zhou with the Northern Han Dynasty.

In September, Li Cunqin recovered from his injuries. Because of his outstanding performance in Changshou Village, Liu Chong immediately appointed him as the recruitment envoy and ordered him to lead the cavalry troops south from Tuanbai to invade the territory of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

My younger brother has already taken action, and where can the boss still watch? Soon, Emperor Yelu Wu of Liao wanted to summon the leaders of various tribes in the Ninety-Nine Springs to discuss the matter of going south.

In Yelu Wuyu's view, as long as he proposed to go south to attack the Central Plains, the tribal leaders would definitely cheer and follow him enthusiastically. However, the facts were completely contrary to his imagination, and basically no leader agreed with the matter of going south.

Yelu Wuyou was very surprised. Yelu House was very calm and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, everyone has dealt with Guo Wei in the past. This guy is not a soft persimmon and cannot tolerate us invading him. In the past two years, he has been in charge of Yedu, and he often selected elite cavalry to go north, which has caused the nearby tribes to lose their temper. Everyone has lost a lot of losses. More importantly, last year, the white disaster was severe, and many tribes were frozen to death. Everyone was hungry and survived, and their strength was greatly reduced. This year, it was finally a good year for rest and recuperation, so everyone was unwilling to go south to fight with the people of the Central Plains!"

At this time, Yelu Cha jumped out and relied on his favor from the emperor and retorted loudly: "What the lord said is wrong. If you stay on the grassland, you will at most take back a few lambs from the mouth of a hungry wolf, and you will not double the livestock! But if we lead the army south and conquer the Central Plains, there will be countless silk, satin, iron pots and iron plows, and the wealth you get can't count! Your Majesty is far-sighted, how can you sing the opposite tune at will?!"

Yelu Wuzhi had long looked at Yelu Chachou and said loudly: "Chachou, don't fool the emperor here. Ask the leaders in the tent, who would give up their plump water and grassland and go to the Central Plains to fight Guo Wei to the death? If everyone agrees, I, Yelu Wuzhi, pull my head down and serve you as a chamber pot!"

Yelu Wu wanted to look around. Basically all the chiefs and leaders lowered their heads. This year, the water is enough and grass is prosperous. Everyone has no shortage of food and clothing. Why do they fight with the people of the Central Plains?!

Yelu Wuzhi said to Yeluwu again: "Your Majesty, this Yelu Chache is a villain. Your Majesty is a wise king. You must not leave him by your side!"

Yelu Wu wanted to shake his head and said with a smile: "Let's just talk about the matter, don't impeach others at any time. Yelu Chache is a person who killed his relatives for the sake of justice. He once revealed to me the sins of his father Yelu Anduan, and everyone knows this! What kind of evil intentions can he have?!"

Yeluwu said angrily: "Your Majesty, Yelu Cha is not filial to his biological father, let alone you, Your Majesty! I suggest expelling him from the tent and revoking his right to discuss matters!"

Yelu Wuzhi was an elder and important official. He spoke clearly like this, and Yelu Wuyu had to express his opinion. At this time, when Yelu Chache saw that the situation was not good, he immediately rubbed his eyes secretly and cried loudly: "I am sincere to Your Majesty. How can you throw dirty water on me like this?!"

Yelu Chae cried like this, and Yelu Wuyou suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. He smiled bitterly and said, "I know your loyalty, and the quality of the house is just a casual talk. Now I have reached an agreement with the Han army to jointly raise an army to attack Guo Wei. How can I break the agreement now? I have decided to recruit my subordinates after I go back and lead the troops south together. Ten days later, I will pay tribute to Emperor Taizong in Xianggushan, and everyone must arrive on time!"

You can just object. Now Yeluwuyu has issued an imperial edict. If you object, it will no longer be a matter of fact, but rather provoking Yeluwuyu's consolation. Everyone, regardless of whether they wish or not, fell to the ground and bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Fifteen days later, dense camps were set up near Xianggu Mountain, and in the center of the camp, Yelu Wuyu's banner was erected. This day was Kuihai day, and Yelu Wuyu took his mother Xiao to climb the mountain to pay tribute to Emperor Taizong of Liao.

Xiao stood on the mountain and said to Yelu Wu: "Emperor, do we really have to go south to build a country for the old man Liu Chong?"

Yelu Wu shook his head repeatedly, "Mother, Liu Chong just regarded me as his uncle and gave me 100,000 yuan a year. With such a little money, even if we keep his Han Kingdom worthy of him, why should we still build a country for him? You should have heard about what happened a few days ago. Some tribes did not obey my orders. This time, this time, it is the best time for me to clear away dissidents! Mother, look at the army and horses at the foot of the mountain. If all of them follow my orders and ignore the short-sighted tribal elders, then the territory of our Great Liao will reach the end of the sky!"

The old lady looked at her proud son and sighed softly for some reason.

Yelu Wuyou did not notice the old empress dowager's inexplicable loss, but laughed and ordered: "Tonight, the whole army will drink together, and we will not return without getting drunk!"

That night, the army camped in Huoshendian, and the whole army drank together, and I don’t know how many wine bags they had drunk. Yelu Wuzhi re-reported the old story, hoping that the emperor would march carefully, but was scolded by the drunken emperor and ordered him to withdraw from the banquet immediately and go to the surroundings of the army to be responsible for the warning. This was already a very obvious warning. Yelu Wuzhi did not dare to refuse, and left the tent with a heavy breath and blushed.

King Yelu Shulu of Shou'an had a good relationship with Yelu Wuzhi since childhood. Seeing that Yelu Wuzhi was blamed for leaving, he was afraid that Yelu Chacuo and others would take the blame to continue impeachment. Yelu Shulu quickly stood up to persuade him to drink, trying to ease the atmosphere. Under his guidance, everyone started drinking and soon they got drunk.

Emperor Yelu Wu of Liao was excited. He drank the most alcohol and couldn't walk. He was so drunk that he was unable to walk. He was helped into the inner tent by two eunuchs. The other leaders and chiefs of the tribes also drank a lot, and many of them were so drunk that they even vomited bile.

At this time, Yelu Chaqi's eyes flashed with a flash of light. Seeing that others were not paying attention, they quietly rushed out. Before the emperor got drunk, he only arranged for Yelu Wuzhi to be responsible for external defense, and did not designate the person in charge of the defense of the inner tent. The two eunuchs who had just helped the emperor into the inner tent were the two eunuchs secretly bought by Yelu Chaqi. This was a good opportunity to usurp the throne! However, with Yelu Chaqi's own strength, it was still a little thin and needed the help of external forces.

So Yelucha looked dizzy and staggered to find Yelu Shulu, King Shou'an. However, King Shou'an and Yeluwu were of good quality, so how could he be polite to Yelucha? Just dealing with a few words, he suggested that he would go out to investigate and expel the guests in disguise.

Yelu Chache was angry and said decisively. After thinking about it, he thought of Yelu Pentdu, who had just been on the mission to Gas Kingdom last year. This guy was cruel and powerful. In the past, he was punished for rebellion and was relieved of the position of Seiwen. Now he is still angry with the emperor.

Yelu Chaqi came to the Yelu Bindu tent. The two hit it off and soon reached an agreement. Yelu Chaqi took his more than ten confidants to meet with the subordinates of Yelu Bindu, quietly avoided the patrol soldiers, and secretly went to the imperial tent.

At this time, the emperor was still asleep on the couch. Yelu Chache whispered to kill the king, but his subordinates were so scared that no one dared to step forward. Yelu Ben smiled grimly, took out a knife to remove the flesh-relieving knife, and stabbed it into Yelu Wuyu's heart with one knife.

Yeluwu was in pain and suddenly woke up. Seeing that the tent was full of strange faces, only Yelu Chache stood aside and was stunned. Yeluwu was shocked and shouted, "Yelu Chache, come and save you!"

Yelu Chache agreed repeatedly, stepped forward and pulled out the knife, stabbed it in. Then he saw blood gushing wildly, and Yelu Wuyou realized that it was too late. After struggling for several times, he fell to the ground before he could shout and died!

Under the strict orders of Yelu Cha Cho and Yelu Pentdu, their subordinates took out their weapons and stabbed Yelu Wuyu's corpse several times to commit suicide. When everyone injured the emperor's body, they had no way out and could only follow Yelu Cha Cho Cho and go to the black.

So Yelu Cha left Yelu Pendant to guard here, and led everyone out of the tent quietly, sneaked into the empress dowager's tent, pressed the empress dowager to the ground, and beheaded with a knife!

Then, Yelu Cha took the head of the empress dowager and returned to the imperial tent, ordered his men to pull up a curtain and separate the body from the main tent. Then, he ordered people to sound the horn of the collection order, falsely pass on the imperial edict, and summon all leaders.

When everyone came to the imperial tent drunk, they did not find the emperor. Everyone was very surprised and immediately started to talk in a low voice.

At this time, Yelu Chache walked out from behind and ordered the guards to pull up the curtains and reveal the emperor's body. Yelu Chache said by the sword: "Yelu Wuzhi plotted against the emperor and assassinated the emperor. He is now fleeing! Before His Majesty died, the general's major political affairs were entrusted to me and appointed me as the regent!"
