Chapter 53: Sumire Khan dies of illness

In October 901 A.D. (the first year of Tang Tianfu), Yelu Abaoji captured many people because of his successive destruction of Murwei, Yu Ju, and Xi Division, and was promoted to the rank of Yili Jin of Dadielie Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While appointing Yelu Abaoji as the leader of the Great Dielie Mansion (tribal alliance), Yelu Qinde also realized from time to time that he lacked virtue and merit, and that mediocrity was incompetent.

The exploits of the Yaoran clan are about to be ruined in the hands of his ninth generation khan, and Yelu Qinde is like sitting on pins and needles, deeply uneasy and worried, but what can he do? My body is not angry!

In the autumn of 902 AD, Yelu Abaoji marched south with 400,000 horses, captured nine counties, and captured more than 95,000 Han people, including camels, horses, cattle, and sheep.

In 903 A.D., Yelu Abaoji attacked Nuzhi in the north, took the Huaiyuan army in Hedong in the south, and slightly Jibei (now in the north of Hebei). Yelu Abaoji was promoted to the rank of Yu Yue of the tribal alliance (second only to the Khan) and was always in charge of military and state affairs.

Due to his outstanding exploits, Yelu Abaoji gradually became the actual manipulator of the tribal alliance, and his status in the eyes of the common people gradually surpassed that of Yelu Qinde Khan.

On this day, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Holu had just returned from the battlefield, and Yelu Holu, who was covered in blood, complained.

"Let's take the border issue as an example, Liu Rengong sent troops in Yuguan every year and burned down the pastures and pastures where our Khitan was stationed, causing a large number of livestock and common people to starve to death and freeze to death. Yelu Qinde Khan not only did not send troops to fight, but bribed Liu Rengong with a BMW and asked him to sell some grassland to the Khitans.

Abaoji smiled: "Brother Haolu, you, you're too anxious. We young people, don't forget the wind of our ancestors, that is, "go forward bravely and fight the country". But there is another thing, for the elders of the tribe, we should not complain and complain. Do you know that when they were young, they were just as strong as we were, and they did their best"!

"Alas, I'm so anxious"!

"What are you anxious about? No matter how good the oil twist is, there will be a time when it burns out. Are you in a hurry to be useful? Only when we have more records can we prove our strength and convince the people around us."

Ao, Yelu finally understood that Abaoji continued to use troops against the surrounding tribes, and even Liu Rengong, who had harassed the Khitan border for many years, was defeated, so that Abaoji "relocated his people to return", it turned out to be mysterious.

Due to his meritorious service, Jeluhorus was promoted to the rank of military leader of the Dierabu Yili Sumire.

In December 906, the last khan of the Yaoran clan, the Khan of Yelu Qinde (Hind Jin), was like a withered lamp, and finally burned out the last drop of oil.

In the center of the mourning hall hangs the remains of Yelu Qinde (Trace Dejin) Khan, Yelu Abaoji and Khitan nobles are all dressed in plain clothes and white scarves, standing in front of the sarcophagus with a raised head, to make a final farewell to the remains of the ninth Khan of the Yaoran clan (also the last Khan of the Yaoran clan).

The shaman god god Gu danced the divine drum with a serious face, and the divine skirt on her body fluttered gently with the dance.

Several little shamans worked as assistants, inside and out, praying for the Khan's ascension.

At this time, Yelu Hulu, who had not dried his tears, led a hundred officials to play and asked Yelu Abaoji to succeed to the throne of the Khan.

"My lord Dejin Khan has died of illness, and I implore Yelu Abaoji, that is, the lord Khan, to obey the will of heaven"!

"What? Ladies and gentlemen, I have appreciated your kindness, but I have a knot in my heart and cannot accept your request. ”

Jerehuro was in a hurry.

"What? Abaoji, don't you look at what time it is, in front of the Khan's statue, you are still doing bargaining"?

"I have a doubt, which I have not solved so far, how can I make a new khan in a vague way"?

"You speak".

"In the past, my ancestor Yili Jin (military chief) Yali was canonized by the Tang Dynasty as the governor of the Khitan Songmo, and he mastered the power of the eight Khitan soldiers and horses, and he had the opportunity to establish himself as the Khitan Khan. However, the lords of the Zhubu resigned from my ancestral position because they should not have been established, and now they have reinstated my Yelu Abaoji as the Khan of the tribe, what is the purpose? ”

"Abaoji, aren't you settling old accounts? These old sesame seeds and rotten grains are lost and you also shake them out? You should know that in the past, although there were supporters in Yili Sumire, the power of the Diera tribe was far less powerful than that of the Haruka clan at that time! If you are not as good as a person, you should be self-aware"!

"For this reason, everyone can ignore my Zu Yari's feelings, and casually proclaim the Yao Ran clan as the king"?

"No, there is a saying in China that 'the rafters that come out of the rafters rot first'. Abaoji, you are a smart person, everyone knows this truth, don't you understand? Therefore, all the people immediately blocked Wu as Khan. ”

"It's too simple to convince me." Yelu Abaoji shook his head like a drum.

Yeluhorus was anxious: "There is only one purpose for everyone, and that is to wait until my Diera tribe is getting stronger, and then replace it."

"Is our Diera Department strong now? Is it possible to replace the Haruka clan now?"

"None of us in the Diera tribe thought that this would be more than 170 years wow!"

"How many precious times have been wasted in seven generations, is this also providence"? The more Yelu Abaoji spoke, the more emotional he became.

"Yes, Immortal Heaven meant that! Listen, the will of the Khan of Yelu Hind is still in my ears, the will of heaven cannot be violated, the hearts of the people cannot be disobeyed, and the king's order must not be disobeyed! ”

Jeruhoru continued.

"I know the testament of the Khan of Yelu Qinde (Trace Dejin), but what does the Heavenly Dao mean?"

"The Khan of the Yaoran clan has been passed down for fifteen years, and the division of kings and ministers and the unification of discipline have made my Khitan tribe increasingly decline."

A trace of grief appeared in Yelu Holu's eyes, and Yelu Abaoji was also moved by compassion.

"Today, out of support and respect for your Abaoji, I, the common people of the Great Khitan, support you as our new khan, this is the will of heaven! I have heard that you were born with a divine light and a strange fragrance in the room."

"Where? Where? What you say is nothing more than hearsay."

"I have also heard that you have received the teachings of God in your dreams and have received the golden pendant of the dragon!"

"This thing is even more outrageous, I had a dream, and it was so evil? Brother Holu, you don't have to believe these rumors!"

"Rumors or not, we can leave it alone. Now, I have eight Khitan departments, dotted all over the place, and it is not that there are no successors. But the common people are devoted to you, this is the way of heaven! Today, the time, the location, the people, the opportunity can not be lost, the fortune of rise and fall is here! ”

"But I'm not mentally prepared, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Say what? Abaoji. Heaven has never been selfish to others, it must be in the virtuous people, the Khan knows the will of heaven, so there will be this will"!

"Well, let me think again." Abaoji scratched his scalp and made a state that still needed to be thought.

Yelu Haili, the uncle of Yelu Qinde Khan, had a solemn expression: "Today, the time, the place, and the people are favorable. Don't miss the opportunity, the luck of rise and fall is here! ”

Yelu Abaoji still insists on prevarication, he wants to test whether everyone is sincere?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into a crime of bullying my ancestors! Uncle Yeluhadi is the elder of my Khitan nobles, and now he has returned to the Dirabu, and he should have taken over as the Khan. ”

Jerod's eyes lit up, but he still pretended to excuse himself. "Khan, a great sage sent by the Immortal Heaven, where is there a reason for me to be a subordinate?"

Jeruhoru snorted. And the heart said, Even if thou art self-aware, thy thou is not qualified to ascend the throne of the Khan.

"Yelu Abaoji, only you can revive the strength of the Khitan Diera tribe, please take over the mission entrusted to you by the heavens"! Yelu Haili was the first to kneel at the feet of Yelu Abaoji. When the people saw that the Khan's uncle Jelu Haili was on their knees, they followed suit.

"Your Majesty respects the last orders of Yelu Qinde (Trace Dejin) Khan, and will definitely assist you in achieving great causes"! Jerehiri said.

"Khan, should be obedient to the heavens, in order to answer the fate, such an opportunity must not be lost"! Yelu Hulu was very worried that Yelu Abaoji was still hesitating, so he added.

Yelu Abaoji stepped out of his seat and looked around. He knew the time had come. So, politely hugging and bowing to everyone.

"Everyone, please get up. In this case, I will definitely live up to the expectations of heaven and earth, and hold a ceremony on a certain day, and burnt wood to tell the sky"!
