Chapter 197, The Battle for the Throne
After a while, Xu Shoujing walked into the Chengqing Hall with his feet up, and saw Ye Luxian's sad face, knowing that he must be worried about his body. So Xu Shoujing hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea, and then brought it to Yeluxian.
"Your Majesty, this is the pre-rain Longjing that the Great Song Dynasty paid tribute to a few days ago, it is rumored that this pre-rain Longjing is the most calm, you have drunk a hundred times the spirit of safekeeping!" Xu Shoujing said to Ye Luxian with a smile.
Ye Luxian, who was originally in a daze, slowly turned his head, glanced at Xu Shoujing, and then slowly took the hot tea he handed over, took a sip, and said lightly: "This tea is indeed refreshing, sweet in the mouth, and has an excellent taste." It's just a pity that I don't have much of the mood to taste it now! ”
"The emperor works hard for state affairs, and every day is full of opportunities. It is a blessing for us to have an emperor like you in Daliao! Xu Shoujing took the opportunity to compliment.
"You should have heard Chen Xuan say about me, right?" Ye Luxian asked suddenly.
Xu Shoujing was suddenly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I've heard what you just said outside! In fact, even if he doesn't sue you, he can't hide this matter from you. Ye Luxian said in a low tone.
Xu Shoujing was shocked again, it turned out that all the words of himself and Chen Xuan were clearly heard by Ye Luxian. If this is the case, then wouldn't the little abacus in his heart also be seen clearly by Ye Luxian?
Thinking of this, Xu Shoujing hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yeluxian: "The old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty"
"What are you doing here? What you and Chen Xuan said is also the truth, it is my life that should be like this, and I can't complain about you. Ye Luxian looked ahead with a sloppy gaze and said lightly.
When Xu Shoujing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that Ye Luxian only heard the conversation between him and Chen Xuan, but he didn't peek into the little Jiujiu in his heart. Luckily, fortunately!
"Your Majesty, although your body is not as good as before, you still have a few years to go. Forgive the old slave for saying too much. You should relax now, your heart is relaxed, and your body will naturally improve slowly. Even if you can't fully recover, if you can fulfill your unfulfilled wishes in the remaining days. That's a life in vain! Xu Shoujing lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly.
"I'm not afraid of death, what I'm afraid of is that after I die, no one can take good care of the queen and their mother and son!" Ye Luxian said helplessly.
Xu Shoujing was silent, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would not actually play a big role. At this time. What can give Yeluxian the most confidence is that he himself and the queen.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and Ye Luxian finally raised his head slowly again, and then said to Xu Shoujing: "If Chen Xuan feels that it is too tiring to take care of the three of us at the same time, then let his little disciple take over from him to take care of the jade concubine as he wishes, but it is more reassuring that I and the queen's bodies are still taken care of by him personally." ”
I didn't expect Xu Shoujing to open his mouth yet, Ye Luxian took the initiative to bring it up himself, which can really make Xu Shoujing spend a lot of money!
"Slaves obey!" Xu Shoujing couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
"Okay, accompany me to Qinning Palace to see the queen's mother and son, and now I can't rest assured that they are the ones I can't worry about." After saying this, Yeluxian got up and walked out of the hall.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shoujing raised his voice and sang.
Since Xiao Siwen's death, Lü Bugu has been placed under house arrest in the palace. In the past, the Xiao Mansion, which made the entire government and the opposition look sideways, is now extremely depressed. Because the Xiao family has no men, when all three daughters get married, the Xiao family becomes even more deserted. Now in the huge house, there are no other people except for a dozen subordinates. Let's talk about defeat, I can't talk about it, because Yan'er is still the queen, and Xiao Hepu and Xiao Hemin are also still princesses. But the only difference is that Xiao Siwen, the biggest pillar of the family, is gone. This can be a real fatal injury to a family. In the past, people would still look at it with sympathy, but since the current emperor exposed the adultery between Lu Bugu and the woman at Xiao Siwen's funeral, the balance in the world's minds will no longer be biased in favor of Xiao Mansion. After all, no matter what. A woman's chastity and chastity are very important things. And an impure woman cannot be respected by the world.
But the world doesn't respect it, it doesn't mean that the people of Xiao Mansion don't respect it. No, Xiao Hemin, the second lady of the Xiao family, was very dissatisfied with Ye Luxian's house arrest of Lu Bugu in her heart. So all day and night in the palace, Yelu Xi Yin rebelled. Yelu Xiyin's rebellious heart is well known. In the past, there was Yelu Qichuan's assistant, but now Yelu Qichuan has broken off his righteousness, and the only thing he can rely on may be his own identity as a prince! But this did not affect Yelu Xiyin's rebellious heart in the slightest.
If in the past, Yelu Xiyin rebelled because he had no excuse, then now this problem does not exist at all. Because Yeluxian put Emperor Taizong's eldest daughter Lü Bugu under house arrest in the palace. This in itself is an excellent excuse.
This matter has to start from the time of the death of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of Liao.
In 926 A.D. (that is, the first year of Tianxian), Yelu Abaoji suddenly fell seriously ill on the way back to the Khan City with the Khitan army eastward, and died in Fuyu City soon after. According to Yelu Abaoji's arrangement during his lifetime, the successor to the throne should be Yelubei, the eldest son of Yelu Bei, because as early as the first year of Yelu Abaoji's divine book that the emperor had seen, Yelubei was canonized as the crown prince.
However, because of the haste of the incident, the struggle between the two political forces within the ruling group of the Liao State made waves again, and because of the representative of the conservative forces, the then empress Shu Luping controlled the power of the court, so that the crown prince Yelubei deserved the throne was taken by his younger brother Yelu Deguang. And Yelu Deguang is Liao Taizong, that is, Lü Bugu's father. But the good times didn't last long, and in 946 A.D., when Yelu Deguang was killing the Hulin realm, he suddenly fell ill and died.
At this time, the internal contradictions of the ruling class of the Liao State broke out again, and there were three people who were qualified to participate in the struggle for the throne and had the possibility of success: one was Yelu Honggu, the younger brother of Yelu Deguang and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the second was Yelu Deguang's eldest son, Yelu Jing, the king of Shoukang at that time (later Emperor Muzong), and the third was the eldest son of the crown prince Yelu Bei, who was supposed to inherit the throne, Yongkang Wang Yelu Ruan (later Emperor Sejong, Yelu Xian's father).
Probably because of the favor of fate, Yelu Deguang's death happened suddenly, so the first two were not in the accompanying army, but Yelu Ruan was in the army just as Yelu Deguang went south to fight. In the midst of the misfortune, Yelu Ruan was pushed to the most advantageous position in this battle for the throne.
In 951 AD, when he went south to help the Northern Han attack on Hou Zhou, Emperor Sejong Yelu Nguyen was killed by the rebels in the military camp, and Yelu Nguyen, who was only 4 years old at the time, was taken out of the camp by a kind cook, thus saving his life, but also missing out on the throne. After quelling the rebellion, the old minister at that time, Yeluwu, was ready to let the young Yeluxian succeed him, but he couldn't find it. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yelu Wuzhi had to let Yelu Jing, the son of Liao Taizong in the accompanying army, succeed him.
After Yiqiē came down, everyone found Yeluxian, but at this time, Yelujing had already ascended the throne, and it was already too late. Later, because Yelujing didn't like women and couldn't have children, he adopted the young Yeluxian and made him the crown prince. (To be continued.) )
