Section 2 The disaster caused by favoring traitorous ministers

Drinking alone under the moon

Third

In Xianyang City in March, thousands of flowers bloom like brocade during the day. Who can be alone in spring and have to drink from it?

Poor communication and shortcomings are all given by nature. One bottle combines life and death, so everything is difficult to judge.

After being drunk, I lose the world, and suddenly I am alone on my pillow. I don't know that I am there. This is the most joyful thing.

After Yelu Hongji quelled the rebellion, he immediately felt refreshed and rewarded those ministers who had contributed greatly to suppressing the rebellion. It was this reward that led to the rise of a treacherous minister, and this person eventually destroyed Yelu Hongji's family.

This man's name is Yelu Yixin, and he was born in the most powerful Five Academy Division in Khitan. However, his family was already extremely poor when his father arrived, and he was called "Qundiela" by his tribe.

Yelu Yixin was handsome in appearance, but due to his poor background, he only worked as a small official in the palace at first. However, he still relied on his clever and cunning mind to win the love of the then Emperor Yelv Zongzhen and Queen Xiao Tali.

, and got promoted step by step.

After Yelu Yixin was promoted to the position of Taibao, he had more opportunities to contact the royal family members. He gradually became familiar with the prince Yelu Hongji. In this way, after Yelu Hongji became the emperor, he was also named a privy councilor.

Deputy envoy.

When Yelu Chongyuan and his son rebelled, Yelu Yixin also led his troops to participate in putting down the rebellion. In this way, when the merits were rewarded, Yelu Yixin was promoted again, and was named Privy Envoy of the North Courtyard, and was promoted to the title of King of Wei.

Yelu Yixin suddenly became a powerful figure in charge of power, so he began to form cliques for personal gain and eliminate dissidents.

At the same time, when he was misbehaving, there was a person who not only ignored him, but also opposed him at every turn. This person even sat on an equal footing with him and jointly ran the government. This person was Mr. Yelvren.

The more Yelu Yixin looked at him, the more unhappy he became, so he began to say bad things about him crazily in front of the emperor. Moreover, Yelu Hongji listened to his words and sent Yelu Ren to Youzhou to stay behind.

After that, Yelu Yixin became even more unscrupulous. His mission was to make Yelu Hongji happy and then cultivate party members. He had the final say in almost all major military and political affairs of the Khitan Empire, and he seemed to have become the de facto emperor.

At this time, Yelu Yixin discovered another big enemy, this person was the crown prince Yelu Jun.

But Yelu Jun was not only the prince, but also the only son of Yelu Hongji. It was naturally very difficult to get rid of him. Yelu Yixin decided to start with Queen Xiao Guanyin.

Xiao Guanyin is a famous Khitan poetess. She is not only beautiful, good at riding and shooting, but also versatile and virtuous.

Yelu Hongji and his wife Xiao Guanyin were very affectionate in their poems. However, later, a group of treacherous villains surrounded Yelu Hongji. They began to believe the slander and brutally killed Zhongliang. Even Xiao Guanyin's family was affected. Xiao Guanyin

Worried that the inheritance of the ancestors would be destroyed in the hands of her husband, she kept admonishing Yelu Hongji.

At this time, Yelu Hongji had been so confused by the flattery of those treacherous villains that he could no longer listen to good advice. Therefore, not only did he not listen to his wife, but he became more and more alienated from her.

Xiao Guanyin was snubbed and doubted by her husband, and was filled with sadness. At this time, he remembered Jiang Caiping, the concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. After failing to compete with Concubine Yang for favor, she changed the name of her palace to Huixinyuan, hoping that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty would change his mind.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guanyin wrote the phrase "Back to the Heart Courtyard".

There are ten poems in this poem:

one

Sweep the deep hall, it has been closed for a long time and the gold pavement is dark. Gossamer and dust are piled up, and the old moss is thick on the steps. Sweep the deep hall and wait for your banquet.

Second

If you blow the elephant bed, you can borrow it from the Tang Dynasty according to your dreams. If you break the edge of the river, you will know that your concubine is lying there, and the appropriate place will have a bright light. If you blow the elephant bed, you will wait for the king.

Third

Change the fragrant pillow, half of it is without clouds and brocade. Because autumn is coming, there will be more tears. Change the fragrant pillow, and wait for you to sleep.

Fourth

I spread the emerald quilt, and I am ashamed to kill the mandarin ducks. I still remember that it was called Hehuan at that time, but now I only cover it with the lovesickness block. I spread the emerald quilt and wait for you to sleep.

Fifth

When I put on the embroidered tent, I didn't dare to put up the golden hook. I untied the luminous beads on the four corners, and I didn't show my sad look. I put on the embroidered tent and waited for you to take care of me.

Sixth

Laying the brocade yin, the layers are empty. I only want my original body to be a white jade body, I don’t want to be a misfortune. I fold the brocade yin, waiting for the king to come.

Seven

Showing the banquet of Yao, the flowers are smiling three Hanbi. The concubine is laughing at the newly made jade bed. She has never been in love forever. Spreading the banquet of Yao, I am waiting for you to rest.

Eighth

If you pick up the silver lamp, you should be aware of it. You will be born with a halo of color in your future life, and you will pretend to be green. Pick off the silver lamp and wait for you to do it.

Nine

The steaming and fumigating furnace can cure the loneliness and boredom. If you are committed to the filth and lowliness, you can soak yourself with the royal fragrance and penetrate your skin. The steaming and fumigating furnace is waiting for your entertainment.

Ten of them

Zhang Mingzheng, I pick up the sweet words of the oriole. I play and compose a song in the room, which is often combined with the sound of wind and rain in front of the window. Zhang Mingzheng, waiting for you to listen.

Xiao Guanyin also asked the court musicians to set the poems he wrote to music. When he was bored, Xiao Guanyin played the jade flute and the pipa to relieve his inner unhappiness.

Yelu Yixin saw all these things in his eyes, and he slandered Xiao Guanyin and the musician Zhao Weiyi for having an affair. And under his control, this matter quickly spread in the palace.

Yelu Yixin was not satisfied yet, so he found the sister of a woman named Dan Dong. This woman was named Qingzi, and he had an ambiguous relationship with Yelu Yixin. He found someone to imitate "Hui Xin Yuan" and wrote a song "Shi Xiang Ci"

". Let Qingzi be handed over to his sister Shan Deng. Shan Deng was originally a slave under Yelu Zhongyuan. After Yelu Zhongyuan was killed, he became a palace maid. Shan Deng was very good at playing the guzheng and pipa. Once, Yelu

Hong Ji wanted to listen to him play, but was stopped by Xiao Guanyin, who thought that he was the maid of a guilty minister and was not qualified to play for the emperor. Shan Deng was also expelled from the inner palace, and she held a grudge against Shan Deng.

After Deng got "Shi Xiang Ci", he lied that it was written by the Queen of the Song Dynasty and dedicated it to Xiao Guanyin. He also told him that if Xiao Guanyin could copy it down and compose a tune for her, it would be able to match "

"Return to the Heart" are both known as "Shuangjue".

This "Ten Fragrance Ci" is as follows:

One: Fragrance

The black hair is seven feet long and is used as makeup for the housekeeper. On the pillow where I don't know how to sleep, I feel the fragrance of green clouds.

Second: frankincense

A piece of red gauze is strong, and the light of white jade is light; try to open the chest to explore, it is especially trembling and crispy.

Third: cheek fragrance

The hibiscus loses its new look, and the lotus loses its old makeup; the two are comparable, and can be compared to the fragrance of pink cheeks.

Fourth: Neck Incense

The grasshopper's feet and long beard are like those of the phoenix; the joy of last night's arms should be the fragrance of green onions around the neck.

Fifth: Exhale the fragrance

The soup tasted good, and he sent a message to the palace merchant. An Zhilang's mouth was filled with warm and sweet fragrance.

Sixth: Oral Balm

It's not about the smell of alcohol, nor about the fragrance of your mouth; but it's about the fragrance of flowers and the fragrance brought by the wind.

Part Seven: Jade Hand Incense

After picking the pistils from the forest, I also kissed the mulberry trees in the royal garden; when I came back, I held hands with them, and the slender spring bamboo shoots were fragrant.

Eighth: golden lotus incense

The seams of phoenix boots are thrown away, and the light frost is removed from the stockings; who warms the white jade and carves soft hooks and fragrances.

No. 9: Fragrance inside the skirt

The color is already trembling after the belt is untied, and the tentacles are getting busier; inside the skirt of consciousness, there is a unique fragrance.

No. 10: Full of fragrance

When you cough up the wine brewed by thousands of flowers, your skin will be filled with lilies. It is nothing more than looking at the sinking water, and your whole body will be filled with fragrance.

This poem describes the charm of a woman from all aspects, and it is also in line with the lonely mentality of Xiao Guanyin. So Xiao Guanyin copied it with his own hands. At the end, he added a nostalgic poem, "There are only a few in the palace."

Zhao Jiazhuang, the defeated rain and lingering clouds mistook the king of Han. Only the moon that knew the truth had glimpsed the flying swallow entering Zhaoyang."

Yelu Yixin was very happy when he got the poem inscribed by Xiao Guanyin himself. He showed the poem to Yelu Hongji, and at the same time he found several people to interpret the last poem mentioned by Xiao Guanyin.

After the two of them interpreted it, Yelu Hongji became more convinced of the earlier rumors in the palace that Xiao Guanyin and Zhao Weiwei were related. Yelu Hongji felt that Xiao Guanyin had put a cuckold on him, and he suddenly became furious. He immediately sent someone to arrest him.

Xiao Guanyin and Zhao Weiyi were arrested.

Yelu Hongji ordered Xiao Guanyin to be put to death, and Zhao Weiwei was executed by Lingchi.

Yelu Yixin's actions aroused dissatisfaction among many people in the court. They exposed Yelu Yixin's crimes one after another, and Yelu Hongji had no choice but to demote Yelu Yixin to Zhongjing. However, Yelu Yixin was very good at flattery, and it didn't take long.

, Yelu Hongji recalled him to Kyoto again.

Yelu Yixin, who returned to power, hated the ministers who had framed him. He dealt with them all, and then promoted a group of his cronies. At this time, he was ready to deal with the crown prince Yelu Jun with all his strength.

However, after the death of his mother, Prince Yelujun acted more cautiously, making it difficult for Yelu Yixin to catch him. In the end, he decided to plant a trumped-up charge of rebellion against Yelujun.

Yelu Yixin first asked his men to plot to make Yelu Jun the emperor, and then sent someone to report the matter. After Yelu Hongji knew about it, he immediately sent people to investigate, but after a period of investigation, nothing was found.

Real evidence. Yelu Yixin didn’t want to just let the matter rest, so this time he adopted more vicious methods.

He simply asked his people to surrender, saying that the crown prince had come to them to plot a rebellion, and also listed a list of Yelu Jun's gang members. This time Yelu Hongji was convinced and immediately ordered Yelu Jun to be demoted to a commoner.

However, Yelu Hongji only had this son, and Yelu Yixin was worried that Yelu Jun would still inherit the throne after Yelu Hongji died. So he sent someone to secretly kill the imprisoned Yelu Jun, and announced that Yelu Jun died of illness.
