Section 2 The struggle for royal power within Khitan

"Giving Yang's Daughter"

Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)

It’s always a day to relax, and travel is leisurely.

The woman is traveling now, sailing up the river in a light boat.

You are suffering and have nothing to rely on, and caring about you will make you kind and gentle.

The young are nurtured by the elders, and they cry endlessly when they say goodbye.

This knot is in the intestines, and it is difficult to leave behind.

I have been taught internally since I was a child, and things have made me worried.

Reiztoring's family is open to the common people.

Poverty, frugality, and sincerity are all things that matter, but how can you wait for Zhou to have the capital to follow you?

Be filial, respectful and obedient to women, be tolerant and submissive to others.

We parted this morning, and it will be the end of the year when I see you.

I started to take care of myself when I was free, but suddenly I couldn't take it back when I felt it.

When I came back, I saw a young girl, and no tears were shed.

After Yelu Abaoji became the khan, he continued to conduct foreign conquests. While expanding the power of the Khitan, Yelu Abaoji's rights also expanded to the point of being irreplaceable. According to the Khitan tradition, the position of the khan is chosen by the world, that is,

It is said that all adult men of the Yelu family, as long as they have ability and merit, have the opportunity to become the next khan. However, Yelu Abaoji was addicted to being the khan and was unwilling to hand over his position. In this way, those of his

The adult uncles and brothers were dissatisfied and wanted to use force to gain their rights.

The first ones who planned to take action were An Rui and four others, but before they could take action, An Rui's wife found out about this matter. His wife had trouble sleeping and eating all day long, for fear that if this matter was leaked, the whole family would suffer.

He secretly told Yelu Abaoji about this matter. Yelu Abaoji immediately ordered the arrest of his younger brother who was the rebel. However, he did not kill them. Instead, he explained to them that he was not greedy for the throne and shared blood with them.

As an alliance, he said that the khan position would be handed over at the next khan re-election meeting. This sentence seemed to be a reassurance to his uncles and brothers, and they stopped making trouble.

The next Khan election meeting had arrived unknowingly. At this time, Yelu Abaoji was leading troops to attack other tribes. He said that he would postpone the election meeting on the grounds that the military was busy.

Now his uncle and brothers could not sit still, and it seemed that they could only force Yelu Abaoji to give up his throne through force. So, Yelu Abaoji's five brothers launched a rebellion.

Yelu Abaoji did not expect that his brothers would attack him when he returned in triumph. But after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and quickly calmed down and came up with countermeasures. Yelu Abaoji secretly summoned all the troops to evacuate.

Jin went to the army for a meeting, and Yelu Abaoji explained to them that the Khan election meeting was a tradition of the Khitan people, and he would definitely hold it as scheduled. The leaders of each tribe also knew that Yelu Abaoji and his brothers had been in trouble because of this matter.

They also knew that Yelu Abaoji just wanted to go through the motions.

So, at the khan re-election meeting, the leaders of each tribe voted for Yelu Abaoji. After the important matter was decided, Yelu Abaoji sent people to tell his brothers that his brothers saw that the overall situation had been decided.

He had no choice but to send someone to apologize to Abaoji. Abaoji also took the opportunity to deprive the old Yelv nobles of their control over the Diela tribe.

However, the temptation of the Khan's throne was too great. Less than half a year after the re-election meeting, his brother, his mother, sister, adopted son and others jointly launched a rebellion. They had thought of a strategy, but they had no choice but to use it this time.

Abaoji found out again. The two parties fought, and the rebels were defeated and fled. Yelu Abaoji took advantage of the victory to pursue them, and finally wiped out all the rebels.

After three counter-rebellions, Yelu Abaoji basically eliminated the opposition forces within the family, and his throne as khan became more secure, which cleared the way for the founding of the country in the future.
