Chapter 37 Death of the Emperor 2
The emperor treated like a dish
When it comes to mummies, many people can immediately think of the mummies of ancient Egypt. As everyone knows, there were also mummified kings in ancient China.This person is Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang.

In 927 AD, the 25-year-old Yelu Deguang became the second Khan of the Khitan Kingdom. At this time, the Central Plains was in chaos during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.The ambitious Yelude only recharged his batteries and wanted to annex the Central Plains.

Nine years later, the opportunity finally came. Shi Jingtang, son-in-law of Later Tang Emperor Li Siyuan, in order to take over the Later Tang Dynasty, ceded Youyun Sixteen States, 9 pieces of silk, and recognized Yelu Deguang, who was 30 years younger than himself, as his father. Conditions, in exchange for Yelu Deguang sending troops to help him eliminate the Later Tang Dynasty and establish the Later Jin Dynasty.After Shi Jingtang died, his nephew Shi Chonggui succeeded him.Unwilling to be reconciled to the continuous influx of wealth from the Later Jin into the Khitan treasury, Shi Chonggui asked Yelu Deguang to "call him a grandson but not a vassal". Established Daliao and established himself as emperor.However, the people in the Central Plains did not give in. Armed forces from all walks of life fought against the Khitan invaders one after another, and the small Liao soldiers were constantly wiped out.

In 947 AD, 45-year-old Yelu Deguang contracted a fever on the way out of the Central Plains.

How can I stay away from female sex when I want to vent my anger on female sex?" Finally, because of excessive indulgence, when he went to Luancheng to kill Hu Lin, he vomited blood and died.At this time, the Empress Dowager Shulu, who was far away in Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, sent a decree: "When you are born, you must see people, and when you die, you must see corpses." It was a hot summer, and the temperature was extremely high. Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

When the civil and military ministers and the imperial physicians were at a loss, an imperial cook came up with an idea: to make the emperor into a "羓". What exactly is "羓"?It turns out that nomads in the north like to eat beef and mutton. Sometimes after killing a cow or sheep, they can’t eat it for a while. "羓" is equivalent to "bacon" in the Central Plains.

As soon as this idea came out, although they intended to treat the emperor as a livestock, in desperation, the ministers of civil and military affairs and imperial physicians had no choice but to use the method of chefs to make the emperor into "pigs" and transport them back to Beijing, so the poor Yelu Deguang He became the only "emperor" in Chinese history - the mummy emperor.
