A knife in love

Chapter 2026
When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, glanced at Wang Xiaoyu, and said to her: "Little girl, I heard what you said before, and I seem to be quite curious about the old affairs of General Yang Ye's family. I don't know if you heard Who made up those weird stories, but apart from those too bizarre legends, it is not false that the Yang family father and son were brave and good at fighting. When Emperor Taizong launched a large-scale Northern Expedition in the third year of Yongxi, whether it was General Cao Bin, the leader of the Eastern Route Army, Mi Xin, the leader of the Central Route Army, Pan Mei, the leader of the West Route Army, and Yang Ye, the deputy general, were all the most powerful generals in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Emperor Taizong had been preparing for this Northern Expedition for many years. Our success fell short, and we returned in a disastrous defeat. Our Song army lost the battle, of course it was because of the Khitan general Yelu Xiezhen and others who were brave and good at fighting, but don't forget that standing behind these Khitan generals is a woman who is planning the overall situation. She is the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom Xiao Chuo, also known as Xiao Yanyan. And Shu Luping is Xiao Chuo's elder, and his wit and cunning ability is even higher than Xiao Chuo's."

Hearing what Feng Wei said, Wang Xiaoyu became curious.She widened her eyes and said, "The Empress Dowager Xiao's surname is Xiao, and Shu Luping's surname is Shu. How can they be of the same clan?"

When Li Qiufeng heard Wang Xiaoyu say "Shuluping's surname", he knew she was talking nonsense again, and he was very angry and funny.I only heard Feng Wei laughing and saying: "Little girl, teach you to be good. Shuluping is not named Shu, just like Yelu Abaoji and Yelubei are not named Ye. Her surname is Shulu, her first name is Ping, and her nickname is It's called Yuelido."

Wang Xiaoyu was accused by Feng Wei of making a mistake, but this time it was irrefutable, her face flushed, and she was speechless.Seeing her like this, Murong Danyan was afraid that she would become angry from embarrassment, and drew his sword to fight Feng Wei, and was about to persuade him, but Feng Wei did not mock Wang Xiaoyu, but said in a deep voice: "Yelu Abaoji is the one I admire most in my life. He is not a Khitan, but Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. I don’t know what he thinks. He often regards himself as Liu Bang, claiming to be the reincarnation of Liu Bang. After he unified the Khitan tribes and became the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Liu As the surname of the Yelu family of the royal family. Therefore, the royal family of the Liao Kingdom not only has the surname Yelu, but also the surname Liu."

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu had never heard of such strange things, so after Feng Wei finished speaking, they were all amused.But the four of them thought about it again, the Khitans are barbarians, they have not been educated by saints, so it is not uncommon for some ridiculous things to happen.

I only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "Yelu Abaoji compares himself to Liu Bang, and he admires Liu Bang's Prime Minister Xiao He the most, thinking that without the help of a virtuous minister like Xiao He, Liu Bang would not be able to achieve great things, so he often laments that there is no good minister like Xiao He He came to the world to assist himself. After he became emperor, he changed the surname of his mother and queen family to Xiao, which later became the custom of Khitan emperors to marry their queens. That is to say, in addition to the surname Yelu, the family of Liao emperors also took Liu as their surname. The empresses are all from the Xiao family, and Shuluping is the ancestor of the Xiao empresses of all dynasties in the Liao Kingdom. Yelubei's main wife and concubine are both named Xiao, because both of them are Yeluping from his own clan. Wives and concubines chosen by Ping.

"Among her three sons, Shuluping actually likes the youngest son Yelu Lihu the most. However, Yelu Lihu is violent and cruel, so he is not the material to be an emperor. If Shuluping is really incompetent, he can only rely on himself She chose her son as the emperor according to her preference, so she could support Yelu Lihu as much as possible. But in the end, the Liao emperor she chose was Yelu Deguang, which shows that the theory of favoring the youngest son is not reliable.

"Shuluping abolished the crown prince Yelubei and changed Yelv Deguang to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. The most fundamental reason was that Yelubei had been educated by the Han people so deeply that he had already become half a Han. Although Shuluping also used the Han as his advisers , but in the final analysis, she just treats the Han people as slaves that can be used. Deep down, she looks down on the Han people at all, but she knows that the Han people are more strategic than the Khitan people, and she is afraid that the Han people will rise and take over the country of the Khitan people. Interacting, liking the documents and classics of the Han people, and even changing the clothes of the Khitan people into Hanfu, these things aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Khitan nobles.

"Shuluping has experienced all kinds of hardships when Yelu Abaoji fought for the throne, and he knew that if he wanted to secure the throne of the Liao Kingdom, he must obtain the support of the Khitan nobles. If he did not become one with these nobles, he would not only lose the throne in the end, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to save his family and life. However, although the eldest son Yelubei has both ability and political integrity, both civil and military, he is also proficient in Han Chinese knowledge. It can be said that he knows everything about medicine, Danqing, and rhythm. Many Khitan nobles talked secretly, saying that although Yelubei looked like a Khitan, his heart had already become a Han. Once Yelubei came to the throne, Han people would definitely be used as high-ranking officials, and the Khitan people would perish.

"Shuluping knew that the Khitan nobles were jealous of Yelube, and she hated Yelube who was obsessed with Han culture. She thought that after Yelube studied Han culture, he no longer had the bravery of the Khitan people. She was the emperor who commanded all the tribes of Khitan. That's why she slandered Yelubei in front of Yelu Abaoji and wanted to abolish his title of prince.

"Shuluping is so shrewd. He naturally knows that the second prince, Yelu Deguang, is far less talented than Yelube. However, although Yelu Deguang has no literary talent, and his ability to lead troops in battle is not as good as Yelube, but he also followed Yelu Abaoji. Fighting everywhere, his martial arts strategy is also quite outstanding. The most important thing is that Yelu Deguang is still as brave as the Khitan people, and he despises the knowledge of the Han people very much.

"It was Yelubei and Yelv Deguang's wife who made Shuluping more determined to abolish Yelubei and make Yelu Deguang the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Shuluping is a strong man, and he has to do everything by himself. As the master, the matter of marrying wives for several sons will naturally be subject to her arrangement. She married two daughters from her own clan to Yelubei as Yelubei's main wife and concubine. But Yelubei didn't like the two Xiaos Madam, you only dote on the Han woman Gao, which makes Shuluping very dissatisfied. He tried to kill Gao several times, but was stopped by Yelvbei. As a result, Shuluping became more and more angry, thinking that Yelubei After marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, she hated him even more.

"And Yelu Deguang's official wife is Xiao Wen, who is Shuluping's niece. After the two got married, Yelu Deguang treated Xiao Wen very well. He even changed the rule that Khitan men can marry more wives, and only loved Xiao Wen. One person. Moreover, Yelude promised Xiao Wen both inside and out that once he became emperor, he would definitely use the children of the Xiao family. When Xiao Wen married Yelu Deguang, Shuluping had already told her to keep an eye on him. Yelu Deguang. Because of what Yelu Deguang said, Xiao Wen naturally told Shuluping. In this way, Shuluping thought that after Yelubei became emperor, he would love Han women. There is a big crisis for the family. Only by abolishing Yelubei and replacing Yelu Deguang can the Khitan nobles continue to support Yelu as the emperor of Liao, and the Xiao family can be the queen of Liao for generations, sharing the glory and wealth.
