Since Emperor Tianzuo left Yuanyangluo, Yeluchun, who stayed in Nanjing, lost contact with Emperor Tianzuo.

Yeluchun was very anxious, at such a critical and fatal moment, how could the king of a country not be heard from, isn't this the way to take the country of death!
Yeluchun sent out several waves of sentries to inquire about the whereabouts of Emperor Tianzuo. If he wants to find Emperor Tianzuo, it is best to ask Emperor Tianzuo to come back and lead the army and people of the Liao Kingdom to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

As a result, after inquiring and inquiring, there are many rumors about Emperor Tianzuo - some say that he has been captured by the Song army, some say that he has been captured by the Jin army, and some say that he has already died in battle in Yuanyangluo , and others said that he had already fled to Xixia and took refuge in Xixia Emperor Li Ganshun (Li Qianshun, that is, Xixia Chongzong, the fourth emperor of Xixia, married Yelu Nanxian, a daughter of the Liao royal family, and made Yelu Nanxian his queen. Before Nanxian married Li Qianshun, Emperor Tianzuo accepted Yelu Nanxian as a righteous daughter and named her Princess Cheng'an. In fact, this was a pure political marriage. However, in name, Li Qianshun was The son-in-law of Emperor Tianzuo, to put it mildly, is also the son-in-law of the nephew.).

All in all, although there are many rumors, no one knows where Emperor Tianzuo is, and Emperor Tianzuo has never sent anyone to contact the officials who stayed behind in Yanjing. I can't help but hate it so much!
Yeluchun was the grandson of Xingzong of Liao Dynasty. Emperor Tianzuo called him the emperor's uncle. His father was Yelu and Luwo, the famous former generals of soldiers and horses in Liao.

It has been 12 years since Yeluchun stayed in Yanjing, and he has won the hearts of the people. Therefore, the Yan people call him the King of Yan, and also call him the Nine Kings and King Qinxiang.

As the highest official of the Liao Kingdom in Yanjing City and a descendant of the royal family, Yeluchun was very worried about the future and destiny of the Liao Kingdom.

Facing the chaos in front of him, Yeluchun really wanted to make a difference, but he felt helpless.

Daliao, the once powerful grassland empire, is now in a precarious state.

That night, Yeluchun drank by himself in the palace. He felt that only wine could anesthetize his painful spirit and dilute his infinite sorrow.

Yeluchun's concubine, Xiao Puxian persuaded softly: "Don't drink it, Duke of the county, wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and drinking too much will hurt your body."

Yeluchun let out a long sigh and said, "I never imagined that my foundation of more than 200 years in the Liao Dynasty would be destroyed like this. You say, we incompetent descendants, how can we face our ancestors? I, Yeluchun, am ashamed of my ancestors. Ashamed of the sky, shame of the people!"

Miss Xiao Puxian said: "Waiting like this is not an option. You are considered to be of high seniority, high prestige, and high position in Yanjing City. You should come forward and call all the ministers to discuss countermeasures. Maybe everyone can come up with some good ideas."

Miss Xiao Puxian was even more disappointed with Emperor Tianzuo, and could even be said to hate Emperor Tianzuo.

Xiao Puxian was once implicated in the rebellion between her younger brother Xiao Dili and Yeluzhangnu, and was imprisoned by Emperor Tianzuo in Shangjing.

Later, Shangjing fell, and Emperor Tianzuo imprisoned Xiao Puxian in Zhongjing.

Not long ago, Xiao Puxian took advantage of the chaos in Zhongjing to escape from Zhongjing and fled back to Yanjing.

It can be said that without this great change, Miss Xiao Puxian might have been Emperor Tianzuo's prisoner until her death.

Miss Xiao Pu said again: "The country has not yet perished, but the emperor can't find it. Isn't that absurd? How can the country's fortune last forever?"

Yeluchun nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

Afterwards, Yeluchun raised his head and looked out the window, only to see the endless night outside the window, neither moonlight nor starlight. Stirring together, it rushed into his heart.

At this time, in the secret room of Li Chuwen's house, the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom Han (Nanfu), three people were secretly planning a major event.

These three people are: Li Chuwen, brother Li Chuneng and son Li Shi.

Li Chuwen is thin, short and lean, with piercing eyes, he said in a low voice: "I have already contacted Xiao Qian, and we all agreed to support King Yan as emperor, and tomorrow morning, everyone will go to King Yan's mansion to persuade King Yan to ascend the throne. "

"What's Dashi Linya's attitude?" Li Chuneng asked.

Li Chuwen smiled, and said: "It was he who first proposed to support King Yan as emperor, and he has no problem at all... It's Zhang Lin, I haven't told him yet."

Zhang Lin used to be the prime minister of Nanfu, and later the commander-in-chief of the garrison of Shenzhou city. Because of the loss of Shenzhou city, he was criticized by the officials and has been depressed ever since.

Before Emperor Tianzuo left Yanjing, he arranged for Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen to assist Yeluchun in guarding Yanjing.

Li Chuneng said: "Go and invite him immediately, and explain to him tonight, so as not to cause trouble."

Li Chuwen nodded and sent Li Shi to invite Zhang Lin over.

After a while, the tall and fat Zhang Lin followed Li Shi into the secret room.

Looking at the atmosphere in the room, Zhang Lin had a premonition of what Li Chuwen was plotting.

Li Chuwen cut to the chase and said, "We plan to embrace King Yan as emperor, what do you think?"

Zhang Lin pondered for a while, and said, "It's enough to be a regent, why bother to become the throne?"

Li Chuwen said in a firm and unquestionable tone: "Today's matter is determined by God's will and people's hearts, and no one can change it!"

Zhang Lin remained silent.

The next morning, Li Chuwen, Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi, Li Chuneng, Li Xun, Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Kang Gongbi, Cao Yongyi and other officials from Han and Han, military leaders, monks and priests, and fellow villagers counted tens of thousands. People gathered outside the gate of King Yan's Mansion one after another.

Li Chuwen, Yelu Dashi, and Xiao Qian entered the palace on behalf of the officials of the Han Dynasty, and invited Yelu Chun to accept the ceremony of worship from the officials outside the gate.

Yeluchun refused to accept his resignation.

Yelu Dashi said: "Now Daliao is like a big ship. How can a ship sail without a helmsman? If you don't want to be the helmsman, the ship will sink soon. You have the heart to see everyone on this ship fall into the sea and die." dead?"

Xiao Qiandao: "In the Yanjing Mansion, you are the most prestigious person in the Daliao Emperor's House. You ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself the Emperor, following the will of God, and applauding the hearts of the people. Please do not decline, Daliao has no choice!"

Li Chuwen said: "Ascension to the throne is not a usurpation of the throne. During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor Li Longji fled Chang'an, and the prince Li Heng ascended the throne by himself in Lingwu. Then he organized forces, finally put down the rebellion, and restored the Tang Dynasty. Now Daliao is also facing the same situation. In the current situation, if you don't ascend the throne, where will the people go?"

After hearing the words of the three ministers, Yeluchun fell into deep thought.

In fact, Yeluchun still had some predestined relationship with this throne, and he had at least two chances to ascend to the throne before this.

Once, after Liao Daozong's son Prince Zhaohuai was convicted and killed, Liao Daozong had intended to appoint Yeluchun as the heir to the throne, but later he gave up the idea.

The other time was that a few years ago, Yeluzhangnu and Xiao Dili, Yeluchun's wife and younger brother, Xiao Puxian's younger brother, conspired to abolish Emperor Tianzuo and make Yeluchun emperor, but Yeluchun didn't accept it. Di Xiao Dili and others beheaded and gave the head to Emperor Tianzuo.

Accompanied by Li Chuwen, Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi, Yelu Chun walked out of the gate.

At this time, Li Xun, who was waiting at the gate, quickly put an ocher robe on Yeluchun.

All the officials of the Han Dynasty and tens of thousands of people under the steps all worshiped together and celebrated warmly.

Yeluchun was horrified and couldn't refuse again and again.

Looking at the tens of thousands of officials kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, Yeluchun had no choice but to agree, but he felt a little guilty in his heart, feeling that he had done something wrong to his nephew Emperor Tianzuo.

Therefore, all the officials of the Han Dynasty took the honorary title and called Yeluchun Emperor Tianxi (Xuanzong).

Emperor Tianxi appointed Li Chuwen as the Taiwei, Xiao Qian as the envoy of the North Privy Council, Yelu Dashi as the governor of the Southwest Road, Zuo Qigong as Situ, Cao Yongyi as the Privy Councilor, Yu Zhongwen as the Minister of Political Affairs, Zhang Lin as the Taishi, and Li Chuneng directly The Privy Council, Li Shi was the young supervisor of the Shaofu, and Xiao Dan, the captain-in-law, was appointed to the Privy Council. Xiao Puxian was named a concubine, and the resentful army was changed to Changshengjun. Guo Yaoshi was appointed as the chief of the capital. Emperor Tianzuo was the king of Xiangyin.

This regime is the Northern Liao Dynasty.

From then on, the Liao Kingdom was divided into two parts.

Emperor Tianxi owned Yan, Yun (currently some areas of Yundi are under the rule of Beiliao), Pingzhou Road (the three states of Pingluanying), Shangjing, Liaoxi and other places.

Emperor Tianzuo owned the Southwest Road (in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) and the Northwest Road (west of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) in the north of the desert to recruit the tribes.

As soon as Emperor Tianxi succeeded to the throne, he sent envoys to seek peace with the commander of the Jin army, Xie Ye, and expressed his willingness to be a vassal state of Dajin as long as the Jin army stopped marching.

Xie also wrote back and said: "As a commander, you command the army, but you want to occupy the isolated city and resist stubbornly. Is there a way out? My lord has an order. Anyone who submits can be given to the official. Anyone who does not submit The people who are going to raise troops to attack, what do you want to do? Don't be obsessed with ignorance, and take chances."

Emperor Tianxi sent people to Xianzhou to ask Wanyan Aguda for peace.

Wanyan Aguda issued an imperial edict to Emperor Tianxi, saying: "You are a close relative of the Liao Kingdom, and you are a general. day!"

After reading the edict, Emperor Tianxi vomited blood and almost fainted.

At this time, Li Chuwen suggested: "It seems that we can no longer make peace with the Jurchens. We should send envoys to the Song State to explain to the Lord Song the reason for his enthronement, and secondly, to express to him that the old coins can be exempted, and even the Song State in Xijing can be exempted. The several prefectures that have been occupied are ceded to the Song State, and we will be friends forever. If we can get the support of the Song Lord and join forces with our two families, we will definitely be able to drive the Jin people back to Liaodong."

Emperor Tianxi then sent Xiao Taboye, the official of Huinan Academy, and Wang Juyuan, deputy secretary of the Privy Council, to thank the state of Song.

The two envoys left Yanjing City and went south, crossed the Baigou River, and arrived at the Baigou Post Station in the State of Song.

He Shen, the magistrate of Xiongzhou, had already learned about Yeluchun's proclaiming himself emperor, but he did not expect that Yeluchun would send an envoy so soon.

He Shen played immediately, and invited Xiao Tabo and Wang Juyuan to temporarily stay at Baigou Station to wait for the imperial edict...
