Chapter 5 The situation of the Three Kingdoms during this period

Section 1 The family war between the two Khitan queen mothers

Presented to the Eighth Guardsman

Life without meeting each other is like participating in business.

Tonight or any other night, we share the light of this lamp and candle.

How long will it take for you to be young? Your hair will turn gray.

Visiting the old man is half a ghost, and exclaiming is hot in the intestines.

How could I know that after twenty years, I went to the Junzi Hall again.

In the past, I was not married, but my children suddenly came together.

Yiran respected his father and asked me where I came from.

Before the questions and answers were even finished, the children were drunk with wine.

The night rain cuts off the spring leeks, and the new rice cooks in the kitchen.

The host said that it was difficult to meet, and it would be tiring to drink ten glasses of wine in one fell swoop.

Even if I drink ten glasses of wine, I won’t get drunk, and my feelings will grow deliberately.

Tomorrow, across the mountains, the world will be confused.

While the Khitan Empire was entering its heyday, another nation was quietly rising in the southwest of the Khitan, that is, the Xixia. At the same time, although the Central Plains dynasty in the south was not good at fighting, their skinny camels were bigger than horses.

The Song Dynasty was still a powerful opponent, and in this way, the three empires formed a tripartite situation.

After Yelu Longxu, the Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, was emperor for 49 years, he headed west. After his death, his eldest son Yelu Zongzhen succeeded to the throne and was known as Xingzong of Liao in history. As soon as Yelu Longxu died, his two wives started to fight.

The battle for power.

The queen of Yelu Longxu is called Xiao Bodhisattva. She is Handerang's niece. She is the queen of Xiao Chuoli.

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is very beautiful and talented. He and Yelu Longxu also have a very good relationship.

However, God's will played a trick on people. After giving birth to two princes one after another, Bodhisattva brother died in infancy, and he was unable to give birth to another son after that.

At this time, Yelu Longxu was already in his 40s. Seeing that he had no children, he was very anxious. If he could not give birth to a son, it was very likely that no one would inherit the prosperous age he had worked so hard to create.

At this time, another woman appeared. This woman's name was Xiao Yujin. She was born in the uncle's house. However, because she was not good-looking, she only became Xiao Chuo's maid after entering the palace.

Xiao Yujin was a smart woman, and there were already two queens before Yelu Longxu. The first queen served as queen for 15 years, but was finally deposed because she did not give birth to a son. Although the second queen, Bodhisattva, gave birth to two

He had two sons, but none of them survived. So far, the heir to the throne has not been born yet. Therefore, he took advantage of his position to keep getting close to Yelu Longxu, trying every means to make the emperor favor him. He really succeeded, after a while

Over time, Yelu Longxu finally gave birth to a son, Yelu Zongzhen.

45-year-old Yelu Longxu was blessed with a son and took care of him as a treasure.

But at this time, another problem arose. Generally speaking, only the son of the queen can be the emperor, and only the prince who is his mother can be the queen. If he wants to make Yelv Zongzhen the prince, he must abolish Brother Xiao Bodhisattva and replace him with

Xiao Yujin became the queen.

However, Yelu Longxu did not want to abolish Brother Xiao Bodhisattva. In order to neutralize this conflict, Yelu Longxu ordered that little Yelv Zongzhen be given to Brother Xiao Bodhisattva to raise. Xiao Bodhisattva had not had a son for so many years, and this time he finally got a son.

, he devoted his life's efforts and maternal love to Yelv Zongzhen.

Xiao Yujin was very unhappy when her son was snatched away. Fortunately, a few years later she gave birth to another son, Yelu Zhongyuan.

In the years since then, the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly. Xiao Yujin gradually gained the upper hand by relying on the power of her mother's family. Now, she hopes day and night that Yelu Longxu will die soon, so that her son can ascend the throne and become emperor.

Yelu Longxu had always loved Xiao Bodhisattva very much during his lifetime, but was not very fond of Xiao Yujin, who gave birth to two princes. It was not until he died that he realized the seriousness of the problem. Doing this by himself was undoubtedly

It will aggravate the conflict between the two of them. After his death, the two of them are likely to fight each other.

So when he was dying, he announced that Brother Xiao Bodhisattva would be the empress dowager, and Xiao Yujin would be the empress dowager. He did not expect that this would add up to old and new grudges, causing Xiao Yujin to resent Xiao Bodhisattva even more.

After the death of Yelu Longxu, Xiao Nujin immediately put brother Xiao Bodhisattva under house arrest and proclaimed herself the empress dowager. Xiao Nujin took the opportunity to attack brother Xiao Bodhisattva's power. Xiao Nujin had a powerful natal family as a backer, and his revenge was almost crazy.

Yelu Zong was really caught in the middle, but he realized that if his biological mother continued like this, it would probably cause a big disaster. So, he found his mother and asked him to stop.

Yelvzong sincerely interceded for Brother Xiao Bodhisattva. The more Xiao Yujin listened, the angrier he became. He did not expect that his own son would also turn to others. He in turn persuaded his son that if he did not get rid of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, there would be trouble in the future.

Infinite. Yelu Zong really didn't believe her. The more Xiao Yujin thought about it, the more worried he became, fearing that his position would be shaken.

So he decided to do it without stopping and sent an assassin to kill Brother Xiao Bodhisattva. When the assassin appeared in front of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, she was not surprised. Instead, she asked the assassin that she wanted to take a bath and change clothes first to show her innocence.

, died cleanly.

The assassin was moved by his words and temporarily retreated. When he went in again, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva had already bathed and changed clothes and hanged himself.

From then on, Xiao Yujin came to power, monopolized power, and at the same time eradicated dissidents. He also promoted people in his own family crazily, and even his own servants became high-ranking officials. He truly achieved enlightenment for one person, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

.Compared with the previous regents, Xiao Yujin was completely motivated by his own personal interests, while Shuluping and Xiao Chuo always put the interests of the country first. For a time, Xiao Yujin was everywhere inside and outside the court.
