Han Shizu

Chapter 1247 Who can succeed?

Amidst the turmoil of the crowd, Yelu Xianshi and other people did not dare to be too tough and seek compromise in the struggle. Of course, this is also based on the premise that the situation in Beijing is gradually falling under their control.At the same time, it seems to be a manifestation of the gradual maturity of the politics of the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, a bloody coup d'état and purge would have already begun.

Of course, this is also because in the political arena of the current Liao Kingdom, there is no one who is as respected as Yelu Wuzhi, who is highly respected, sophisticated, able to harmonize with everyone, balance the interests of various forces, and convincingly stand up to preside over the overall situation.

As for Yelv Xianshi, I have to say that he has some ability and prestige, but it is not enough. Relying on his past achievements and the emperor's reliance, Yelujing can be a powerful minister and be active in the political arena when he is here.

But now that Yelujing was suddenly killed, his performance and actions seemed inappropriate, even lacking in confidence, and more likely to arouse the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the other clan ministers.Even in the court, some people questioned Yeluxian, criticizing Yeluxian for living up to the late emperor's favor and committing treason.

Under the environment of martial law in Beijing, the Liao court was in chaos, with disputes arose abruptly and intensified, and disputes and contradictions became more and more acute.The ones who clamored the most were of course Yelujing's two brothers, Yelufu Sage and Yelv Dilie.

When Yelujing was there, the political arena of the Liao Kingdom was peaceful, everyone and all forces could calm down, behave in a low-key manner, and did not even dare to take the lead easily.As soon as Yelvjing died, the long-suppressed undercurrent began to surge wildly.

In the end, under the proposal of the Northern Privy Secretary Xiao Husi, the controversy was reluctantly put aside and a few things were implemented.Among them, the most important thing was Yelujing's funeral. In the end, Yelv Bishe, Yelv Xianshi, and Xiao Husi were in charge of the funeral, and the emperor's death was investigated and questioned.

From this point, it is easy to draw conclusions, although Yelu Dilie and others insisted that there was another conspiracy behind it, and pointed at Yelu Xianshi, Xiao Siwen and others who were suspected of usurping power, in order to confuse the situation.However, the incident was quickly finalized under the impetus of a group of people.

It is the two servants who are obsessed with ghosts and ghosts, committing chaos and committing heinous acts of regicide.Shande and Nuli were also executed in front of everyone, and their bones were ashes.At the same time, all the servants around Yelvjing were also executed, and hundreds of guards around the imperial tent were all forced to commit suicide. They failed to fulfill their duty to protect the emperor, and death could not atone for their sins.

Such a vigorous and resolute measure was naturally proposed by Qi Wang Yeluxian, and carried out by Feilong maid.This move not only shocked a group of people, but also appeased a group of people.At the same time, Yelu Yila, the general of the old guard, reacted, and in fear, he quickly turned to Yeluxian. After all, he was responsible for protecting the emperor. Apart from Xian, there is no one else.

Speaking of it, Yelvjing is also a bit sad. When he was alive, he was criticized and the throne was considered stable. It seemed that all the courts were loyal ministers.However, once he dies, before his bones are cold, everything changes. There are almost no ministers who can die for him. People have different thoughts, including the ministers he relies on: especially you, Yelu Xianshi!
The most important thing is to issue orders, stabilize people's hearts, and maintain the peace of the court and the country.And the most crucial thing, which everyone cares about the most, is who will inherit the throne.This is also the ultimate direction of all problems and contradictions.

There are various contradictions within the Liao Kingdom, but the biggest problem is the inheritance of the throne, which has existed for a long time since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, and has not been effectively resolved for decades.

For decades, the succession of the throne has been repeatedly tossed and turned between the two pulses of Yelubei and Yelu Deguang, and countless games and competitions have also taken place around the emperor's honor.Now, with Yelvjing's unexpected death, it seems to have returned to the beginning of a cycle.Since Yelujing had no children, this also made the emperor's succession more uncertain.

Regarding this issue, each has his own choice, and the one with the highest reputation is naturally the King of Yue, Yelu Bishou. From Yelujing's arrangements for him in recent years, we can see his intentions.During these years of assisting Yelujing, he also won some people's hearts and accumulated a lot of military and political resources.

But in the end, there is no clear identity of the emperor's younger brother, and there is no more advantage in terms of legal principles. In addition, people from Yeluxian's faction acted first, making him lose the opportunity and be in a passive position.

Thus, while mourning for Yelvjing, the open and covert struggle surrounding the throne also began, or in other words, it had already begun since the news of Yelvjing's death spread.

At this time, Qi Wang Yeluxian officially stood in front of the stage and was promoted as the heir to the throne, discussing with Yelu Bishe.

Under the condition that Yelujing had no children, Yeluxian did have the qualifications to inherit the emperor's business. In terms of blood, even Yelu Abaoji was counted, he is also the direct lineage. Older, even if he is ten years older, it may not be Yelujing who is supported to the top.

Now, if he wants to take back the throne, he naturally has that qualification.In contrast, Yelu Bishe is a concubine, so don't think that the Khitan people don't value blood.

In addition, although Ye Luxian is young, only in his early 20 years old, he has already shown outstanding self-cultivation and character. In these years of low-key and forbearing, he has also attracted a large number of people. For example, Ye Luxian's support for him is Enthusiasm for the fruit of making friends.

After all, his father, Yeluruan, was the first emperor, and he also left him some valuable political resources. Although he became indifferent with the passage of time and was not so reliable in ordinary times, when the conditions were ripe, these broke out, which is a kind of Stocks are solidly supported.There are also some who were unhappy during Yelujing's administration, and there is also a tendency to move closer to Yeluxian to provide him with support.

In this way, under the escort of Yelu Xianshi and others, coupled with some civil and martial arts from the crowd, Ye Luxian's momentum has also been developed.In addition to the advantage of blood status, during this period of time, Yeluxian's faction also came up with a reason, that is, Yelujing said last year: My son is an adult and can be paid for by the government.

It is difficult to verify whether Yelujing has said this sentence, and the meaning revealed by this sentence does not clearly express the expectations placed on Yeluxian.However, one sentence can have various interpretations, and those who support Yeluxian can also explain it in that direction.

And Yelujing's treatment of Yeluxian was indeed preferential. He was adopted and raised from a young age, and a separate palace was specially built for him to live in. During festivals, he never forgets the rewards.

These things are nothing on weekdays, but at such critical times, they become places that can be interpreted in depth.The first emperor, the king of Qi!

When Yeluxian's faction was in full swing, planning to take over the position, and the momentum was so great that it almost filled the court and the opposition, Yelvjing's brothers did not stop, especially the two brothers Yelufu Sage, King of Taiping, and Yelv Dilie, King of Anping, were running around. In the city, actively communicate.

Yelufu Sage is the younger brother of Yelujing's direct relative, a mother and a compatriot, and he is a person who has never been restless, and he can free up some things when he gets the chance.

In terms of status, his qualifications should be ahead of everyone else, and he himself thought so, but because of his past actions, he was exposed to dissent several times, which made him severely suppressed by Yelvjing. Over the past ten years, He really doesn't have any power in his hands, let alone much prestige.

Bloodline and identity are just the most basic things. If you don't have the corresponding strength and luck, it is wishful thinking to succeed. This is the main reason why almost no one proposes Yelufeng Sage's succession.

As for Yelu Dilie, he and Yelu Bishe are brothers. Of course, he also covets the throne, but after years of training, he still has a clear understanding of the reality, and his temper is not as impetuous as when he was young.

However, he is also running around, but he is working hard for the king of Yue, Yelu Bishe. He knows his own shortcomings. In comparison, his younger brother, who is trusted by the late emperor, has a gentle temperament, and is quite popular, is more likely to be in power. It is also more beneficial for him.

He took the lead at the beginning, questioning and opposing Yelu Xianshi and others, because he couldn't understand their behavior of using the emperor's order to stir up trouble.And when Ye Luxian was officially elected, his ambition became more determined. No matter what, at least the lineage of the throne can no longer be handed over, and the meat in his own pot can no longer be touched by outsiders.

After a period of deliberation, the situation of succession to the throne gradually became clear. There were three candidates, Yelufu Sage, King of Taiping, Yelubishe, King of Yue, and Yeluxian, King of Qi.

Among them, Yelufu Sage is the weakest and has the lowest reputation, but he dances the most; Yeluxian has many supporters, but there are too many people who temporarily report to the group, and the cohesion is not so strong. Yeluxian took the helm, Xiao Siwen and others waved their flags; Yelv Bishe looked suitable in all aspects, but he was not so prominent in all aspects. The key point was that his own attitude was not so positive.

On the contrary, during this period of time, Yelv Bishe was deeply saddened, immersed in the grief of losing his brother and king, and devoted himself to taking care of Yelvjing's funeral.

And when the succession of the dominant emperor, the handover of the regime, and soft power are difficult to play a key role, in the end, it depends on hard power and the barrel of the gun.

　Come on EDG, as long as you don't get beaten 3:0, you can accept it.
