Wu Wei heard Chun Yu Wanyun say this, frowned and said, "Then let everyone understand the simple situation of this woman Shu Luping first!" ”

When Chun Yu Wanyun saw this, he beckoned to the girls who were scattered around eating with rice bowls: "Everyone come here to gather and listen to General Wuwei talk about a very important matter!" ”

The girls of the red-sleeved incense team came over with rice bowls, some standing, some squatting, and some sitting around Wuwei to listen to him tell the story of Empress Luping by Yelu Abaoji, Emperor Taizu of Liao.

Shuluping's small character "Yue Liduo", "Ping" is her Chinese name.

Shu Luping's father was a Uighur, and her mother was the aunt of a Khitan nobleman, Yelu Abaoji.

According to clan tradition, Jerod and Shulu were two tribes that intermarried; Each is looking for a mate in the other's tribe.

Counting up, Shu Luping and her husband Abaoji are cousins; Kiss on kiss.

Shu Luping was born in the fifth year of Tang Qianfu (878 AD), and at the age of fourteen, he married his twenty-year-old cousin Yelu Abaoji (small character Sili only, Chinese name Yelu Yi) according to the customs of the clan.

This is not only a marriage of the right family, but also a marriage of wealth and wealth; Because the seventh ancestor of Abaoji was once named the governor of Songmo in the Tang Dynasty, a hereditary "Yili Sumire" family was formed.

Yi Lijin was the chief official in command of the army and horses, and the ancestor of Abaoji served as the chief of the most powerful Diera tribe in the Khitan.

Later, Abaoji became the youngest chief of the Diera tribe and began to cultivate elite pro-soldiers who only obeyed his own orders.

Abaoji's elite pro-army is the "leather room army" composed of Khitan warriors, with a total of 30,000 horsemen.

Empress Shu Luping also took this opportunity to cultivate her own pro-army, with a total of 20,000 horsemen named "Shan Army".

From this point of view, Shu Luping is different from the queens of other families as soon as he ascends to the Tao; She has her own personal soldiers and arms.

The two armies of the Pi Room Army and the Shan Army are the main and auxiliary to each other, and the salary is extremely high; Well-equipped, it is a tiger division and an eagle division in the northern land.

Shu Luping attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents, as long as she thinks that people who are really talented and can be loyal; Regardless of nationality and origin, they are recommended to Abaoji and reused.

The attempt of Abaoji and his wife to centralize power and hereditary status gradually aroused the opposition of the surrounding Khitan nobles; And the first to stand up against it and the most resolute attitude was his own brothers and cousins.

The reason why the brothers opposed Abaoji and Shu Luping's attempt to centralize power and hereditary status was not only to preserve the Khitan tradition, which was a democratic system that predated the so-called democracy in the West by 800 years.

It is also because as high-level figures of the Diira Division, they and their descendants may ascend to the throne of Khan because of the election system.

If it becomes the hereditary of Abaoji, then they have no hope; What's more, Abaoji's system of the north and south courts first dispersed the power of "Dierabu Yili Sumire".

There were three rebellions of the brothers, several years before and after, known as the "Brothers' Rebellion".

The rebellion of the brothers reached its climax in 913 AD. In March of this year, Abaoji's eldest brother Rage took advantage of Abaoji's outing; Let the second brother Diera and the fourth brother Antu lead the troops to attack Abaoji on the way, and send the third brother Yin Dishi to attack Shu Luping who stayed in the palace tent.

Both rebels were unlucky, and were defeated by the powerful "Leather Room" and "Zhishan" pro-forces under the calm response of Abaoji and Shu Luping; Most of the brothers who commanded the rebels were captured alive.

Abaoji still had a little incense at the beginning, and once wanted to release some of his relatives who were involved in the rebellion; However, Shu Luping helped him make up his mind to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Subsequently, the Diira Department carried out a purge against the "anti-Abaoji forces"; At the end of this bloody power struggle, hundreds of imperial relatives were executed; Even Abaoji's only sibling sister, Princess Yu Lu Zhijiangu, and his wife, who had served as a tribal priest, were not spared, and the princess who had served as a tribal priest was in her early thirties when she died.

Since then, all the imperial relatives and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been as afraid of Shulu as a tiger and scorpion, and they no longer dare to disobey her proposition; Shu Luping's conditions for changing the crown prince are fully ripe.

After the death of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Shu Luping was unwilling to pass on the throne of the Khitan Kingdom to his eldest son Tu Desire, whom he hated.

In order to achieve her wish to change the crown prince, she announced on the eighth day after Abaoji's death: The lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and she will take over the imperial power by herself.

Belch! In fact, at this time, Tu Yu was already twenty-eight years old, which is not young.

After the reign of the dynasty, Shu Luping began to spare no effort to eradicate the "dissidents" that she thought might hinder her plans for easy savings.

Soon after Abaoji's death, she gathered all the former ministers of Abaoji, who held great power; This brief convening has a wonderful meeting record in the "Khitan National Chronicles".

Later, (Shu Luping) asked: "Emperor Ru Sixian?" ”

The crowd replied: "If you receive the grace of the first emperor, how can you not think about it!" ”

Later, he said: "If you think about it, you should see it." ”

Truth be told, anyone at such a time would have given the answer of the last emperor; It's just that all the ministers didn't expect that behind such a strange memorial question and answer question, it would actually lead to Shu Luping's decision to beat the snake and follow the rod.

However, it is too late to answer the ministers who were loyal to the first emperor to regret it; Shu Luping, who was standing on the high platform, looked at this group of civil and military ministers who had followed Abaoji from birth to death with the eyes of the fish on the chopping board, and cut off their heads without saying anything; Take it to the funeral.

The ministers were killed for no reason, and of course their dependents wept profusely; Shu Luping replied to them brutally: "I am now widowed, why should you not follow my example!" ”

Since then, Shu Luping's killings have been carried out one after another; All the officials and nobles who were suspicious of her, she would casually find something to say to her: "Tell the emperor for me." Then he dragged him to the Apo ghost and killed him.

There are also some ministers and veterans who have made great achievements, and Shu Luping's trick is a little difficult to use; So she had people spread rumors, and then they were labeled for the crime of rumors; Dismissal of dismissal and beheading of dismissal.

These include Yelu Tupinbu, who created the Khitan script, Yelu Duozhen, whose grandfather saved Abaoji's life, and Yelu Dieli, who opened up territory for the Khitan.

Shu Luping's indiscriminate killing of heroes for his own partiality and selfish desires made the Han officials who had previously attached to Abaoji feel very precarious.

The Khitan officials have nowhere to escape, and the Han officials still have their homeland to run; Naturally, he did not want to stay in Khitan and suffer.

So in a very short period of time, Lu Wenjin and Zhang Xichong, the two envoys of Lu Longjiedu, fled back to the Tang Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and baggage.

Just when Shu Luping was in a big swing and killing, she finally kicked the iron plate; And it was the Han official she had always considered "treacherous" to kick her.

Zhao Siwen, the former assassin of Pingzhou, was a Han who surrendered to Yelude in the Battle of Youzhou.

It stands to reason that Zhao Siwen was originally attached to Yelu Deguang, and he really shouldn't be included in the list of eradicated.

But Shu Luping still found him and asked him to "serve the first emperor".

Although Zhao Siwen is a brave general, he is not like those Khitan officials who have a intestine until the end; He stood up and asked Shu Luping in front of the Manchu civil and military forces: "The first emperor was close to the queen mother, why didn't the queen mother die with her body?" I wait for the courtiers to serve, how can we be as the emperor intended? ”

Just as everyone was waiting to see Shu Luping's speechless and admitting the past wrongdoing, Shu Luping immediately reacted and replied: "The children are young and weak, and the country has no owner; I can't follow the emperor for the time being. ”

Immediately afterwards, this invincible woman swung a golden knife and cut off her right hand at the wrist without hesitation; calmly ordered someone to send this hand to Abaoji's coffin to "martyr" on his behalf.

After suffering this loss, Shu Luping's trick of martyrdom and murder has been curtailed a lot; Even Zhao Siwen let it go.

However, the ruthless energy of the queen mother who cut off her wrist in an instant was more lethal than when she forced others to be martyred; Since then, all the imperial relatives and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been afraid of Shulu like a tiger and scorpion, and they no longer dare to disobey her ideas.

Shu Luping's conditions for changing the crown prince were fully ripe, and his second son Yelu Deguang became the successor of Liao Taizu for Liao Taizong.

Feng Shui takes turns, and today comes to my house. After the fall of Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, after the Jin Dynasty, he instigated the soldiers to threw grass and was beaten by the Han people on both sides of the Yellow River; When he returned to the grassland, he died.

His mother Shu Luping saw that her favorite son went before her, and wanted to set up her third son, Yelu Lihu, as the new emperor.

However, Shu Luping's abacus this time was wrong, and the eldest son Yelu Bei's son Yelu Ruan was after Yelu Deguang's death; was supported by the ministers in the army as the new emperor, and the fight between Yelu Ruan and his grandmother Shu Luping was inevitable.

After Shu Luping was ready to fight, he changed his mind; gave up the establishment of the third son Yelu Lihu and submitted to his grandson Yelu Ruan; Yelu Ruan was later Liao Shizong.

Shuluping's defeat at the hands of her grandson was not a bargain, and her prestige has been spread in the vast land of the Liao State to this day......
