Chapter 38 Liao Mu Zong

"Yes! I will die to serve the country! Serve the Great Liao Country!" The recruits outside spoke in unison, and the screams were deafening, resounding through the nine heavens, and I listened to it from such a long distance.

"Handan!" what do you call me for?

"It's coming, it's coming!" I swooped out and rushed to the training ground as fast as I could.

"The subordinates are here!" is a consistent phrase in the army.

"Very good! This marshal appointed you as the commander of the two roads today, and all the military power here will be handed over to you! There must be no mistake!"

"The last general commands!" I tilted my head slightly, my hands clenched into fists.

Heh, it's easy to do it now that you have military power in hand. The corners of his mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile, which was meaningful...... Next, this is the first step I plan to take! With tens of thousands of soldiers in hand, I must train these people into my own troops. Except for me, no one listens, even if the emperor comes now, it's useless!

"Haha! Okay! Send the order down! Kill cattle and cook sheep, and reward the three armies!"

That night, I finally had a full meal, and I couldn't take care of the meal after being busy in the past few days, which was really inhumane.

At night, when everything is silent, only the lamp is still lit in my tent. I softly summoned out the space-time mirror and scanned the space completely.

"The Liao troops of the Northern Song Dynasty are subordinate to the Liao Mu Sect Yelu Shulu. Date: August 953. In the second year after Liao Muzong ascended the throne. The area here is unknown, and it does not belong to the territory of Liao......"

I have come to such an era of mediocre, absurd and brutal monarchy! The development of history, the memories of the Liao Muzong Yelu Reign in my mind, I am most impressed by the rule of this monarch, not because of anything else, but because of his tyrannical regime, he is called the most brutal monarch in history!

Liao Mu Zong Yelu Jing, 931, Taizong Tianxian six years Xin Mao August Gengshen (the fifth day of the first month) ~ 969, should be the nineteenth year of the second month of the twenty-first year. He ascended the throne in 951 and reigned for 18 years. Yelu Shulu, the eldest son of Taizong, after Yelu Chacha launched the reform, he killed Sejong, and Yelu Shulu took the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and seize the throne. I remember very clearly that Muzon was "a good game, but a mess". Killed in 969. He was 39 years old. He reigned for only 18 years, but he didn't know how many innocent people he had killed...

In 951 AD, although Liao Muzong ascended to the throne, his throne was not as stable as he imagined, and Muzong faced many brothers fighting for it like his father. In terms of succession to the throne, although the primogeniture system was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was not well implemented. Qin II of the Qin Dynasty, Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the reigning emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not strictly implement the system of primogeniture, which was a natural struggle for choice and independent choice, so as to avoid brutal killing.

In order to consolidate his position, Liao Muzong, like ordinary emperors, rejected dissident forces. The ministers who were originally close to Liao Shizong were either dismissed or no longer reused. For example, Yelu Zhixian originally made a great contribution to his succession to the throne, and Liao Muzong may have promised him the position of king of the headquarters at that time, but because Yelu Zhixian always remembered Liao Shizong's kindness to him. Therefore, Mu Zong was very unhappy, and the promise he made to the king was put on the shelf... For those who dared to openly oppose him and commit rebellion, Muzon also suppressed it without mercy.

In June 952 C.E., the year before I came. Mu Zong ascended the throne for less than a year, and Xiao Mei Gude, the uncle who served as the political order, and Li Di, a scholar of the Xuanzheng Palace, discussed defecting to the Later Zhou, and Li Di wrote a letter to his brother Li Tao, who was an official in the Later Zhou, saying that the Khitan monarch was not good, only knew how to drink and hunt, and had no great ambitions, and suggested that the Later Zhou use troops to come to the conquest. In the end, the matter was leaked, Xiao Meigu was killed, and Li Di was sentenced to cane punishment.

Not long after the matter subsided, in July, Liao Shizong's younger brother Yelu Louguo wanted to establish himself as emperor again, but was strangled by Mu Zong, and his accomplice Yelu was executed by Ling Chi... Such a tyrannical monarch even killed his own uncle, which is really a great rebellion!

In October of 953, this was the time I came here. Li Hu's son Yelu Wan also came to compete for the throne, and his younger brother was also involved, and even Yelu Anbo, the important minister of the original Sejong, was also implicated. As a result, An Bo died in prison, the others were executed, and his brother and Yeluwan were released.

November 959, six years later. The fourth younger brother, Enemy Lie masterminded the rebellion, and after it was quelled, just like last time, the others were killed, but Enemy Lie was released. In order to warn everyone, Mu Zong also specially carried out a large-scale sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth... In Liao Muzong's eyes, in addition to killing, it is still killing! It seems that watching others die in front of him is a very pleasant thing for him...

After Liao Muzong put down the rebellion and stabilized the regime, he felt that the emperor had no worries, so he indulged even more. Drink and be merry at night until the next morning, and then sleep during the day, and politics is left behind. Therefore, he won the title of "Sleeping King".

Also, Mu Zong likes to go hunting, and he doesn't care about first aid, no matter whether it's cold or midsummer, as long as he's happy, he goes on safari. Don't forget to drink wine when you go on a safari, probably because it is more flavorful to eat wild meat, and the interest of the "sleeping king" is very high, and every safari and drinking will last for seven days and nights before it ends.

After drinking, Mu Zong's temper did not improve, but worsened, and he found fault and killed people at every turn, treating human life like a mustard. In his later years, he was even more brutal, and the left and right attendants were killed by him by his own hands if they made a slight mistake, which made the attendants worry all day long. The ministers also dared to be angry with him. It is said that Mu Zong killed people because he listened to the words of the witch Xiao Gu, and in order to take people's courage to create an elixir to prolong life.

The reign of Mu Zong was the darkest era in the history of the Great Liao Kingdom. The criminal laws used by Liao Muzong to deal with people were all invented by himself, and there was no one before or since.

Liao Muzong himself was brutal, but he often told the ministers to admonish, and when the ministers saw that he was cruel, no one dared to admonish, and sometimes he refused to listen to a few words of persuasion.

In the first month of 963, Mu Zong drank wine day and night for a total of nine days, killing the sea. In March, he killed the deer keeper Miriji and showed his head to the public. In June, the attendant was killed by Mu Zong's staff because he wounded the deer.

In February 964, a total of seven deer keepers were disbanded, and in November, they were killed in the palace. In March 965, Dong'er, a close attendant, was killed by Mu Zong because the knife and chopsticks used to deliver food were slow. In December, under the pretext of his close attendant Xige, he went home without permission and killed his wife.

In 966, in the first month of the first month, he killed the servant Bai Hai and the family boy, and in September, he held a feast on the Chung Yeung Festival, drank alcohol day and night, and finally killed the wolf keeper. Since then, almost every year up to 969, murders have been recorded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Muzon was a murderer.
