The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 525
No, the current Xiao Chuo should be a little girl of eight or nine years old, look at her, she should be fifteen or sixteen years old at this time.

Is this a historical inconsistency or did I change something because I came here for my own reasons? It seems that I may have changed something because of my own reasons.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly again, saying that he really didn't know what to say.

"Well, son, what's the matter with you, did something happen?" Xiao Chuo saw Zhao Xu shaking his head non-stop, and thought there was something wrong with him.

"Oh, it's okay, I just remembered something. By the way, Yanyan, you are from Khitan. Why did you come here?"

Khitan and the Central Plains have always been feuds since the late Jin Dynasty. Zhao Xu was puzzled, why did they come here?
And they can still walk here aboveboard, which shows that they are for the affairs of the country, but they have already notified the court, otherwise such a situation would not have happened.

"Don't call me girl anymore, just call me Yanyan, can I call you Brother Zhao?" The little girl Xiao Chuo didn't know why, but she felt that Zhao Xu was very kind.

Zhao Xu nodded and didn't say anything. Originally, he was thinking about how to get along with this woman, but now it's just a matter of time!

"We came with our mission from Daliao. The emperor of Daliao wanted to make friends with Song, so he sent our envoys to negotiate with Song and maintain the good-neighborly friendship between the two countries."

This Xiao Chuo really didn't hide anything, and directly stated their purpose of coming. What Zhao Xu was thinking in his heart was why the Khitan would do this now.

What Zhao Xu didn't know was that the current Daliao was not stable at all, and the current emperor of Daliao was Yelujing.

Yelujing was the eldest son of Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, but he did not directly inherit his father's throne.

It turned out that his father was only the son of Taizu Yelu Abaoji, and Abaoji's eldest son, Yelubei, should be the emperor's heir.

So Yelude should not inherit the throne alone, but his strength is too great, which made him the emperor.

After Yelu Deguang became emperor, his nephew Yelu Ruan was very dissatisfied. Yelu Ruan was the eldest son of Yelu Bei and had always been against Yelu Deguang.

Later, after Yelu Deguang's death, Yeluruan finally took power and became the emperor, and the throne returned to Yelubei's descendants.

Later, this Yeluruan died in the civil strife among his own people. At this time, Yelujing started to fight against venereal disease, gradually took power, and took the opportunity to become the emperor.He was later Liao Muzong.

However, although he ascended to the throne, the throne was not stable, and he faced the dilemma of competing with many brothers just like his father.

In terms of succession to the throne, although the eldest son inheritance system was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was not well implemented.

The most famous of them is that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, but he was not the eldest son.

They did not strictly implement the eldest son system, which is a natural choice and independent choice to avoid massacre.

In order to consolidate his position, Yelvjing, like other emperors, rejected alien forces.

It turned out that the ministers who were close to Emperor Shizong of Liao Dynasty were either dismissed from office or no longer reused. You are all my cousins. What do I use you for?

Not only that, even people who have made great contributions to him, he also acts according to his own temperament. I don't like you, but I don't need you.

Yeludaoxian had made great contributions to his succession to the throne, so Yelujing might have promised him to be the king of the headquarters.

But because Yelv Daixian never forgot Liao Shizong's kindness to him, he often said in private how good Shizong Yeluruan was.

This made the new emperor very unhappy. You have become mine, and you are still thinking about the old master. What do you mean?

Therefore, Mu Zong was very unhappy, and the promise to his king was shelved, and I don't need you.

Yelujing also mercilessly suppressed those who dared to oppose him openly and conspired against him.In addition to repression, ministers are also forbidden to discuss government affairs casually.Many ministers were demoted and dismissed for discussing government affairs.

After these incidents, his authority was basically established, and basically no one dared to oppose him.

When the regime was stable, he started his own great career of enjoying the blessings. After Yelvjing quelled the rebellion and stabilized the regime at the beginning of his ascension, he felt that the throne had no worries, so he became more indulgent.
.Drink and have fun at night until the next morning, and then sleep during the day, and political affairs are put on the back of my mind.So he got the title of "Sleeping King".

Mu Zong's safari does not distinguish between seasons, whether it is cold winter or midsummer, as long as he is happy, he will go hunting.He did not forget to drink while hunting, probably because eating wild game with wine was more flavorful, and the "Sleeping King" was in such a high spirits that every hunting and drinking would take seven days and nights to end.

Besides drinking, sleeping, and hunting, this guy's biggest hobby is killing people.This hobby is really unique.

He killed people without caring about anything, so many ministers suffered. According to historical records, Mu Zong was cruel by nature, but he often urged the ministers to give advice. When the ministers saw that he was cruel, no one dared to persuade him. refused to listen.

These caused the current situation in Daliao to be turbulent, and this did not cause him to come to show his favor to Dal Song, but because of another thing.

That was the Northern Expedition of Emperor Shizong of Zhou. Later Zhou was the last and most powerful dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and Chai Rong was even more powerful.

They directly sent troops to attack Khitan, and at this time Khitan was actually being beaten back by Hou Zhou. It cannot be said that they were powerless to fight back, but a lot of cities were lost.

This is all a matter of Yelvjing's rule, and the nobles are becoming more and more dissatisfied with him, and Yelvjing feels it too.

But he couldn't kill all the nobles. Just when he was at a loss, Chai Rong died.

Hou Zhou's army also withdrew. He felt that this was his chance, so he sent troops to invade Hou Zhou.

I heard that Zhao Kuangyin, the former general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, became the emperor, and the attack on Daliao was even stronger. He failed in several battles against Khitan.

And since a guy named Wang Yansheng came to the border last year, I heard that he was recommended by the prince of Song Dynasty.

This man is not human at all, he loves to eat people's ears, and all Khitan soldiers caught by him have their ears cut off.

Then it was released, causing great panic within the Khitan. Under the suggestion of the counselor, Yelujing wanted to negotiate a peace with the Song Dynasty.

Because at this time Khitan's interior is unstable, and the peoples conquered by them in the north are rebelling, so he wants to stabilize the lion of Song Dynasty. This is the purpose of his peace negotiation. Only a few people know that Zhao Xu is not Knowing this, he was chatting with Xiao Chuo.
