Chapter 840 The Liao Dynasty Has Completely Became History (Please Subscribe!)

...

What shocked and saddened Yelu Dashi was naturally related to Daliao and Khitan. Otherwise, what could make him, a hero who has experienced great storms, so moved?

This secret letter was actually sent back by the spies in Ketun City.

Back then, after Li Yan captured Xiao Pu Xiannv and forced her to be his concubine, Beiliao did not completely perish. At that time, many Khitan people took advantage of the chaos to escape from Yandi, and then went to join Tianzuo in Jiashan emperor.

Later, when Jin soldiers besieged Qingzhongzhai, Liaoliang King Yelu Yali and his brothers were all besieged in Qingzhongzhai.

In that battle, Yeluding, king of Liao Qin, and Yeluning, king of Liaoxu, were captured successively by Jin soldiers. Only Yelu Yali, who was in the army at that time, escaped under the guard of the hard village Taibao Temu brother, and then took a small road to Yinshan and Tianzuo. God rendezvous.

At that time, Yelu Yali had more than 1000 entourages (most of these 1000 people were escaped from Yanjing), which was more than the entourage around Emperor Tianzuo.

Emperor Tianzuo was worried that these people would cause chaos, so he wanted to kill Yelu Yali.

Emperor Tianzuo accused Yelu Yali of not being able to rescue all the kings, and prepared to interrogate Yelu Yali.

Emperor Tianzuo summoned Yelu Yali with a sharp sword in his hand and asked, "Brother Temu, they taught you how to do it. Do they want you to rebel and kill your father?"

Hearing the words, Yelu Yali knelt down and said: "Now the situation in Daliao is weak, we have no fixed place to live, and our entourage is less than [-]. The emperor must not be suspicious of subordinates anymore. We should use kindness to make everyone work together so that we can regain our strength." Raise the flag and drums, and restore the former glory of our Daliao... I can swear to the sky that I will never be rebellious. If I violate this word, I will be punished by heaven and earth..."

At that time, Emperor Tianzuo had only one son, Yelu Yali, by his side, and the rest of his sons were all captured by the Jinren. Moreover, what Yelu Yali said was true. They had less than 2000 people at that time. It might be all over.

Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo finally let Yelu Yali go.

Soon after, Emperor Tianzuo planned to cross the Yellow River and flee to Xixia.

Yelu Dilie, a subordinate of Emperor Tianzuo, robbed Yelu Yali with Temuge and others because of his persuasion to no avail, and fled northward, arriving at Dashaling in May of the same year.

At that time, the virtuous lady Xiao Pu who was the regent of the Northern Liao Dynasty was already the son of Li Xiansheng, so the regime of the Northern Liao Dynasty had existed in name only.

So, three days after Yelu Dilie and others arrived at Shaling, they discussed together to support Yelu Yali as emperor.

Yelu Yali then became the emperor, changed the year name to Shenli, and became the second emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Yelu Yali is generous by nature and hates killing people. To catch fugitives is just to use flogging (the punishment of beating the prisoner's back or buttocks with bamboo boards and thorns).

Yelu Yali often said to the left and right: "Whoever wants to be attached to me can come, and whoever doesn't want to be attached to me can leave. Why force them?"

Because of Yelu Yali's generous temperament and the presence of the remaining prestige of the Liao Dynasty, the Jiedu Envoy of the Wugu Tribe, the Commander of the Dieli Tribe Tabuye, and the Dujian Tuli led their troops to join him. .

Slowly, more and more tribes came to attach themselves.

This led to a brief flashback in Beiliao.

However, Yelu Yali became more and more indolent and lazy day by day, he fell in love with shooting and hunting, and had no intention of governing the country.

Afterwards, Brother Temu spoke bluntly and strongly advised Yelu Yali to stop traveling and restrain himself a little.

But this Yelu Yali is not a successful person after all, he governs the country like a child's play.

When Yelu Yali went on a tour, if the entourage was tired and tired, they would be rewarded greatly.

The subordinates advised Yelu Yali, saying: "Now the country's financial resources are empty. If you reward like this, what will you use to support the army?"

Yelu Yali said angrily: "If there are no ministries, where will I collect taxes from?" He refused to accept the advice of his subordinates.

Yelu Yali ordered the shepherds to transport salt and corn, but some people stole them, negotiated and registered the quantity and ordered them to compensate.

Yelu Yali worked out the value himself: for every cart of corn stolen, one sheep would be compensated; for three carts, one cow would be compensated; for five carts, one horse would be compensated; and for eight carts, one camel would be compensated.

Both left and right said: "Now a sheep can't do it for two buckets of millet, but it can be used to compensate for a cart of corn!"

But Yelu Yali said stubbornly: "If the people have it, I have it. If they are asked to pay it all, how can the common people bear it?"

All in all, Yelu Yali's magnanimity is magnanimity, but he governs the country with children's means, seriously lacking the ability to govern.

Later, Yelu Yali, who hadn't hunted for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, so he went hunting in Chaci Mountain, and hunted 21 gazelles and [-] wolves in one day.

As a result, due to excessive exercise, Yelu Yali was overworked and fell ill, and died within a few days at the age of 30.

After Yelu Yali's death, Yelu Dilie, Temuge and others supported Liao Xingzong's great-grandson Yelu Shulie as emperor.

Yelu Shulie, Yelu Dilie, Temuge and others later led the people from the Northern Liao Dynasty to flee to Kedun City, an important town in the northern border of the Liao Dynasty-the Northwest Road recruiting department.

At that time, the dragons in Kedun City had no leader, so they respected Yelv Shulie as their master.

But this Yelv Shulie is also a person with no ambitions.

Since Kedun City was an important northwestern frontier defense city in the Liao Dynasty, the frontier defense troops were not allowed to be recruited at will, and the army was preserved during the war, and there are hundreds of thousands of horses that can be ridden here.

This gave Yelu Shulie the capital to be happy in Ketun City.

After Yelu Shulie arrived in Ketun City, he indulged in women's sex and hunting every day, so happy and happy, he didn't want to restore the glory of the Daliao Empire in the past.

Gradually, the Khitan people could no longer stand being ruled by an incompetent and unambitious person like Yelu Shulie.

So, not long ago, there was a mutiny in Kedun City, and both Yelu Shulie and Yelu Dilie were killed by the rebels. Brother Temu was disheartened and stopped meddling in world affairs.

What is even more lamentable is that the rebels who launched the mutiny were just angry that Yelv Shulie was not enterprising, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and had no intention of usurping power.

As a result, the final rule of the Liao Dynasty was also ruined, and Kedun City is now in a state of leaderless dragons.

In the past, the Daliao Empire whose territory stretched from the Sea of ​​Japan in the east to the Altai Mountains in the west, the Ergun River in the north, and the Baigou River in southern Hebei in the south has completely become history. Dashi, how can he not be shocked, how can he not be sad?

Li Yan could understand Yelu Dashi's mood.

However, Li Yan did not sympathize with Yelu Dashi, just as the founding monarch would not sympathize with Li Yan's descendants when the next dynasty replaced the Dazhong Dynasty.

Li Yanchong waved at the door, and soon a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who looked almost nine points like Li Yan walked in.

The young man came to Yelu Dashi's side, and then he bowed to Li Yan: "My child pays homage to Father!"

Li Yan signaled the young man to get up, and then asked Yelu Dashi: "Does Aiqing know this emperor of mine?"

Although Li Yan's sons all looked alike, Yelu Dashi recognized at a glance that the young man in front of him was Li Xu, the first son of Yelu Yan, the princess of the Kingdom of Liao and Shu, to Li Xian.

Yelu Dashi put away his sorrow and said: "How dare I not know the king of Liao." Then he bowed to Li Xu and said: "Dashi pays homage to the king of Liao!"

Li Xu hurriedly helped Yelu Dashi up, saying: "I dare not let my uncle do this great gift." ——It turned out that from Yelu Yu Liyan's theory, Li Xu should call Yelu Dashi uncle.

After the two met, Li Yan said to Yelu Dashi: "I want Yue Fei and Ma Kuo to escort Xu'er north to Ketun City to take over the remnants of the Northern Liao Dynasty there. I wonder what Ai Qing wants?"
