1317 What can the new emperor do to the Central Plains?

"Although the palms and backs of hands are all flesh, your brother is too obsessed with Sinology. However, the Han people have always been arrogant. In the past, the above-mentioned countries and dynasties regarded us as uncivilized barbarians. Their ways of governing the country are useful to learn, but how can they copy them completely and forget the roots of my Khitan?

In the past, he was not only immersed in chanting poems, paintings, music, and even respecting Confucius and Confucianism. He advocated the use of Confucianism as a method of governing the country, but looked down on the old customs of the Khitan people... Humph! The descendants of the white horse and green ox, the gods and gods, insisted on learning from the Han people in full, how could they inherit our Khitan country?

What's more, now that he was defeated by the Southern Dynasties, he had to retreat outside the Great Wall, and he could not lose the tradition of our Khitan... In this situation, you must save the crisis..."

Yelu Deguang, who was bowing to the ground, listened to his mother Shuluping's instructions, his expression became more and more firm, and he gritted his teeth and claimed that he was.

Yelu Lihu, who was standing by, felt very uncomfortable when he saw this. After all, according to his thoughts, the eldest brother advocated the complete Chineseization of the Khitan, which was completely contrary to the concept of the mother's queen, so he must not be allowed to inherit the throne... But I don't bother to learn the Han people, and the second brother also learned Chinese language and practiced Chinese customs. Why did the mother only recognize him as inheriting the throne of my Khitan?

However, Yelu Lihu was cruel and cruel, but when he witnessed the ruthlessness of Lu Ping's self-cutting wrist, he didn't dare to disturb his mother at this time... but he was full of evil fire and had nowhere to vent his brute face. He said ruthlessly:

"It was all because of Zhao Siwen's killing talent that the mother queen forced her to cut off her arm and suffered this severe injury! It was just that the first aid treatment was important, and she missed that guy... The man should really die. The son sent the palace tent troops to kill Zhao Siwen's whole family, threw his family into the fire, and cut off his head, and vented his hatred for the mother queen!"

"Don't be fooled! Don't be reckless. Then Zhao Siwen...you can't touch him!"

Yelu Lihu still resented Zhao Siwen at that time that the queen was closest to the late emperor, so according to Shuluping's personal rules, he should also be buried with Yelu Abaoji... Although he was meant to vent his anger for his mother, he ended up putting his hot face on his cold butt, which made Shuluping look angry, and scolded him:

"Because I set the rule, I first designed to ambush more than a hundred court officials. Even if Zhao Siwen doesn't mention it, others will inevitably question why I was not buried with the late emperor. Killing a large number of old ministers who supported the crown prince, of course, must make an explanation. So since I decided to set up the Yi Chu plan, I knew that my right hand was destined to be unable to be saved... It was also thanks to Zhao Siwen's open mention, far superior to the ministers who said it, but he was filled with resentment in his heart... I followed his words and cut off his wrists and died, which even more shocked the other court officials to have no objection.

I can't let your elder brother completely Chinese and shake my Khitan's foundation, so why should I cherish a right hand? Zhao Siwen walked in front of the Ghost Gate Pass. Seeing that I was cut off, he was glad that he could save his life. He must have devoted himself to the new emperor. After all, he was appreciated by the late emperor for his fierceness and fighting skills, and it is of great use to the Khitan. The ministers who blocked the easy-to-capital and intensified the internal struggle of our court should be killed, but the killing was too much, and how many people could be left for my Khitan. Isn't this going to destroy his foundation?

The matter is done to ambush the ministers for the death of the late emperor. If I go to take Zhao Siwen's life again, the civil and military officials in the court will think that I am hated and will suddenly kill the court officials... If you make your own decision, isn't this a waste of my efforts to cut off my own arm!?"

On the surface, it seemed that it was because of Zhao Siwen that Shu Luping had to sway his knife to cut off his right hand... However, he did not suffer from personal revenge from the Khitan Empress Dowager and the emperor. According to historical records, when Yelu Deguang succeeded to the throne, he even had to be promoted to the title, serving as the chief magistrate of the procuratorate and the governor of the Baojing Army and other important positions. Zhao Siwen's sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have always held high positions in the Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, Shu Luping did not intend to retaliate against Zhao Siwen for the cut off his arm. Otherwise, with her position in the Khitan court at that time, more than 100 old ministers and nobles were killed. It would be a matter of minutes to think of another name to kill Zhao Siwen, a Han minister.

The young Yelu Lihu was simple-minded and only thought of Shuluping's ruthlessness, but he couldn't figure out the deeper purpose of his mother's consideration of power... Seeing that his pampered third son was still shouting and killing, Shuluping, who had severely cut off his arm, had to rest, but was so angry that she seemed to be about to spit out another mouthful of old blood, which immediately made Yelu Lihu shut up.

Seeing this, Yelu Deguang hurriedly advised Shu Luping not to get angry, and he also needed to take good care of himself, and it was not advisable to discuss for too long. So after a few words, he said confidently:

"My son is obeying the teachings and will never let down the trust of the mother. After the father passed away, the country is in a turmoil and storm, and the survival of the people is in danger. My son is bound to support such a dangerous situation... Now when the emperor's brother goes to the country to die, it is time to inherit the throne and maintain our Khitan country..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Although he was named the Emperor of Humanity, he also served as the lord of the Dongdan Kingdom, a vassal established by the Khitan after the fall of the Bohai Kingdom. However, after hearing the bad news of his father, Yelu Be, as the crown prince, must set off as soon as possible and rush to the west building to mourn his deceased father.

Yelu Bei was certainly very sad about his father's death, but he went day and night and rushed forward, so he naturally had to return to the capital as soon as possible to compete with his second brother Yelu De, who was also very likely to inherit the throne... After all, Chi Ze changed, and the Dongdan Kingdom was just a transitional regime established by the Khitan in the former land of the Bohai Sea. He inherited the throne of the entire empire. According to Yelu Bei's opinion, of course, he, the eldest son, had to be the eldest son.

However, the Wei Dynasty controlled all over the western part of Liao, and Yelu Bei had to change the route, which could not avoid crossing mountains and ridges, and delayed some time... The journey was full of dust and exhausted. However, when he finally arrived at the west building of Linhuang Mansion, the situation on the capital was far beyond Yelu Bei's expectations...

Originally, the nobles and honorary ministers who were more inclined to support themselves in the court, but were almost slaughtered by their mothers in the name of being buried with their fathers. Shuluping even cut off his wrists and died. The other ministers were shocked and frightened, and obviously wanted to keep a distance from the eldest son of Yelu Bei... In theory, the human emperor, who was second only to the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress in China, was shocked to find that the ministers would be polite to him at most, but in fact they seemed to be avoiding disaster stars, and no one dared to have too much contact with him.

After walking to the funeral palace to worship his father Abaoji, Yelu Bei was ordered by his mother Shuluping later, and walked with his second brother Yelu Deguang to the front of the large tent of the Longmei Palace in the inner city. He saw that the Khitan court officials had been standing solemnly and waiting for a long time. His right wrist was wrapped in white cloth, and he could finally see some blood on his face. There was still a thigh between his eyebrows, and Shuluping, who could not be offended, was sitting at the entrance of the dome tent and said in a deep voice:

"I love both of my two sons, but I don't know what to stand. You choose to hold the reins if you can stand."

Shuluping said that Yelu Bei, among the sons of Yelu Deguang, she didn't know who should succeed the throne, so the ministers decided to choose the candidate who was suitable for the emperor, so she went forward to hold the saddle and bridle of the mount under his crotch. However, during the funeral of the late emperor Yelu Abaoji, Shuluping suddenly launched a massacre under the name of burying for his death, killing many ministers, and there seemed to be a residual smell of blood in the air... Who doesn't know the real intention of the queen who killed the ruthless?

So, the Khitan officials went out one after another, but they all took Yelu Deguang's saddle and bridle to signal that they would lead the horse for the new emperor, willing to give advice... They also realized that Yelu Be was frightened and angry, so they watched the endless stream of officials who went to pull the horse riding by his second brother Yelu Deguang, but they were alone, and no one came to pull the reins of his mount under his crotch...

In theory, even if his military achievements are slightly inferior to his second brother, Yelu Bei's question is that he is both civil and military, and he is the eldest son of the emperor and has a more reasonable reason to inherit the throne... However, he is now neglected, and his ministers who should have supported him are slaughtered by Shuluping. Yelu Bei's face became increasingly angry, but when he was about to speak, he happened to face his mother's cold eyes again.
