Chapter 1246 Death of Emperor Liao
As the spring breeze blows over the Huangshui River, most of the plateau pastures in Northeast Asia are revitalized, and the landscapes inside and outside Linhuang Mansion are also more green.In this season full of vitality, the Liaoshang capital is immersed in a sad atmosphere, amidst the sadness, there is no lack of urgency and depression.

It has been almost a month since Shangjing was under martial law, and there is still no sign of reopening, but the white flags on the city are erected high, and the city is densely covered with plain belts. They are all restricted in the city, allowed to enter and not allowed to leave.
The reason for all this is very simple. Yelvjing, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, died suddenly and unexpectedly.For any country, the death of the emperor and the head of state is a major event, often accompanied by political turmoil, and a little carelessness can be a chaos.

For the Liao Kingdom, the situation is even more serious, because the emperor Yelujing died abnormally and died of an assassination.Yelvjing, who had governed the Liao Kingdom for nearly twenty years, was considered a leader of this era. His body was shrouded in the light of power and glory. He belonged to the kind of big man who could disturb the historical situation, but the way of death was very aggrieved, 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 the servants and other close people, and he regarded them as slaves.

In the later period of his administration, Yelvjing's mental state was extremely unstable due to years of alcoholism and internal and external pressure.On the one hand, insisting on the style of being sympathetic to officials and caring for the people by insisting on being in power for nearly 20 years, on the other hand, he has become more harsh and tyrannical towards the servants around him, killing them at every turn
At the beginning, even Emperor Liu was a little puzzled when he knew about these situations. The contrast between Yelujing's two sides was too obvious, and he was tolerant and kind to outsiders, so why was he so strict with the attendants who accompanied him or even served him personally.After thinking about it, apart from his own mental and psychological problems, he probably really didn't regard those servants as human beings.
Of course, from the standpoint of a bystander, Emperor Liu was able to make calm and objective judgments, and even commented and even marveled.But he himself may not have realized that a companion is like a tiger, and his close servants have never been less afraid of him. For so many years, many people around Emperor Liu have been convicted of crimes for various reasons, and many of them lost their lives. I don't even know myself.It's just that Emperor Liu was not as manic as Yelujing, he was not angry with nameless anger, and would not kill him.
As for Yelvjing, after meeting with Emperor Liu at Baishuiluo and returning to Beijing, she became even crazier and distrusted the servants around her even more. In three or two months, the servants around her changed again.Those who were replaced either died or were disabled, or were convicted and exiled, and there was basically no good death.

This made staying by Yelvjing's side like playing a horror game, where he could be convicted anytime and anywhere and encounter a life-and-death crisis.The servants are all in danger, and the mental pressure is equally great. It is conceivable what the result will be, so, after a long period of depression, it broke out.
On the night of the suburban sacrifice on December 12rd in the seventh year of Kaibao, Yelujing was drinking and enjoying himself, sleeping with a hangover as usual, perhaps because he was in a good mood, and for the first time he did not reprimand the servant, and even specially gave him some wine and meat as a token of his gratitude reward.

However, in the early morning of the previous night, shortly after Yelvjing passed out drunk, the two servants who were rewarded, Shande and Nuli, after packing up the palace tents, pulled out Yelujing's personal golden knife and committed the assassination.

Yelujing, who was deeply drunk, had no defense at all, and had no ability to resist. He was stabbed three times in a row, and the knife was fatal, and he passed away in a daze.He died peacefully, at least he didn't feel much pain.
That golden knife, Yelvjing used it to personally execute the servant, and in the end, it was also used by two servants to kill the king, and the karmic reincarnation during it was really embarrassing.

The two servants, Shande and Nuli, belonged to the four tribes of the Khitan Reign. They were soldiers in the leather chamber and participated in the Han and Liao Wars. Unfortunately, they were selected as imperial servants half a month before the incident.

The two could be regarded as passionate murderers. After killing the king, they calmed down and fled in panic.In a hurry, it was inevitable that she would not show her feet, and was bumped into by the Maid of the Flying Dragon. Feeling something was wrong, she stopped her to ask about the situation.After discovering the blood stains left on the two of them, they launched a brazen attack and were taken down by the maid and several guards.

Later, when I went to the imperial tent to see him, I found that the emperor Yelujing had passed away, and the bed was stained red with blood.Nvli is just a small flying dragon envoy, but in the face of this sudden change, it played a big role, and she also found an opportunity to make progress. In an emergency, he and the palace in charge of the guards inspected Yeluyi. Discuss emergency arrangements.

The emperor was assassinated and died, Yelu Yila was duty-bound, he was in panic, his mind was not in the right place, and unexpectedly he was pinched to death by a group of women, who had no opinion and listened to their arrangements.

The two discussed, guarded the imperial camp, blocked the news, and at the same time notified the prestigious noble ministers to come to preside over the affairs.Under normal circumstances, it would be the most suitable person to inform the king of Yue, Yelu Bishe.He is not only Yelujing's biological brother, but also has a good reputation and is highly relied on.

However, Nvli notified three other people, Qi Wang Yeluxian, Beifu Prime Minister Yeluxianshi, and servant Xiao Siwen.This is a bit particular. At present, there are four nobles in the power center of the Liao Kingdom, namely Yelu Bishe, King of Yue, Yelu Xiezhen, King of the Southern Court, Xiao Husi, Privy Councilor of the North, and Yelu Xianshi, Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion.

Even if someone was to find someone to clean up the situation, it would never be Yelu Xianshi's turn, even though Yelu Bishe and Yelu Xiezhen were not there, and the North Privy Secretary Xiao Husi was there.But the girl just notified the above three people, which shows her intentions.

Yeluxian's identity is naturally sensitive, and not long after he was named king of Qi, his reputation is on the rise.Because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Tanzhou that year, Xiao Siwen lost his teacher and lost his land, and because of his relationship with the son-in-law of the two clan rebels, Yelufeng Sage, King of Taiping, and Yeluxiyin, King of Zhao, he has not been trusted by Yelujing, and he is quite repulsed. After wasting for several years, he recovered, and serving as a servant was basically a vain job without much real power.

As for Yeluxian, who is both civil and military, he is known as a talent for the country. He has been trusted by Yelujing over the years. He and Yeluxian are not only only one character apart in name, they have always been close in private
And Qi Wang Yeluxian was not camping at that time, but was worshiping Buddha at Yunmen Temple in the north of Shangjing. When he learned of the drastic change, he did not hesitate at all. He only brought a dozen guards and braved the wind and cold, and went straight to the Black Mountain where the camp was located.

When Ye Luxian rushed to the camp, there was already a tense atmosphere there. Ye Luxian was about to enter the imperial camp. The first thing he did was to lift the high-pressure state of alert to avoid people's guessing. The scope of the blockade has been increased.At the same time, Xiao Wuli, the right leather clerk who was accompanying him, was called to control him, and his military power was lifted, and Xiao Siwen went to take over.

Therefore, the entire camp was quickly controlled by Yelu Xianshi and others, and the arrival of Ye Luxian gave everyone a backbone.Several people discussed in secret, continue to hide the news, control the camp, return to Beijing quickly, maintain the situation, and avoid riots.

The next thing went very smoothly. When I returned to Shangjing, the funeral was still kept secret. The emperor ordered that the whole city, including Miyagi, be under martial law, clean the streets and clean the market, and even the nobles and ministers of civil and military affairs were not allowed to act without permission. access.

After all affairs were basically handled properly, and most importantly, after all the control of the army was in his hands, Yelu Xianshi came forward to summon the clans, nobles, and ministers to report the news of the emperor's assassination and death.

This news was like a bolt from the blue to the ministers of the Liao Kingdom.After all, he was the emperor who ruled the Liao Kingdom for nearly 20 years. Although there were all kinds of absurd and puzzling behaviors, Bingguo died suddenly or was stabbed to death after so long. The impact caused by this was naturally huge.

Digesting this news is not difficult, nor does it take much time, but it is followed by various suspicions.Reminiscent of the series of deeds of Yelv Xianshi and others, the clan headed by Taiping King Yelufu Sage, Anping King Yelv Dilie, and Yelujing's confidantes naturally questioned them a lot, and every sentence punished their hearts. It was almost pointing at Yelu Xianshi and others for murdering the king and plotting rebellion.After all, Emperor Yelvjing's death was too sudden and strange, and there is always a market for conspiracy theories in any era.

Although the overall situation is already under control, Yelu Xianshi and others also feel a lot of pressure in the face of this turbulent crowd, especially Yelu Xianshi who was pushed to the stage to host.What they rely on is that they have taken the initiative and controlled most of the army, but this kind of control is just taking advantage of the chaos, and it is actually not reliable. In this case, people have different opinions.
