Since discovering that Liu E's body is somewhat abnormal, Li Zhang often takes time to enter the palace, always paying attention to Liu E's movements, and during this time Liu E is also very excited, urging the civil and military officials every day to prepare for the Taimiao ancestral worship, and even postponing some government affairs for this reason, it seems that she regards entering the Taimiao as the most important thing at the moment.

Just when Liu E was fully preparing for the Taimiao ancestral worship, the news from the Liao State finally came, just when Yelu Longxu had just died, Xiao Yunjin immediately launched a coup d'état, first set himself up as the queen mother, and then framed Xiao Bodhisattva and Xiao Pi for rebellion, Xiao Yunjin has been preparing for a long time, but Xiao Bodhisattva has no preparation, but Xiao Yunjin was caught off guard, first Xiao Bodhisattva was placed under house arrest, and then Xiao Biaodi and others were also arrested.

Xiao Pidi is the younger brother of Xiao Bodhisattva, and he also has a younger brother named Xiao Xunbu, who was also arrested in this case, and the number of Liao nobles implicated reached more than 40 people, and at the same time that these people were arrested, Xiao Yunjin also seized the imperial power and began to act as an agent for the government.

The family behind Brother Xiao Bodhisattva and Xiao Rival is powerful, and the family relationship can be said to be intertwined, when Xiao Rival was arrested at the beginning, countless ministers of the Liao State begged for them, and many people suggested not to kill Xiao Rival and others.

But no one expected that Xiao Yunjin was ruthless, knowing that cutting grass must be eradicated, if Xiao Bodhisattva's family is left, they will definitely be counterattacked by them in the future, so Xiao Yunjin ignored everyone's opposition and directly ordered the execution of these nobles, and as a result, more than 40 Liao nobles died on the streets of Zhongjing.

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is the queen mother, although Xiao Yunjin wanted to kill this woman, but her son, Xiao Bodhisattva's adopted son, that is, the current Liao Emperor Yeluzong, pleaded hard, hoping that his mother would not kill his adoptive mother, plus many ministers in the court also interceded for Xiao Bodhisattva, and finally Xiao Yunjin had to spare Xiao Bodhisattva's life and moved her to Shangjing under house arrest, away from the political center of Liao.

When the coup d'état of the Liao State was transmitted to the Great Song Dynasty, the entire court of the Great Song Dynasty was also shaken, although Xiao Yunjin did not directly claim the emperor, but through the coup d'état to monopolize the power, as if becoming the second Empress Dowager Xiao, you must know that when the Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, the Great Song Dynasty was beaten unspeakably, and even almost forced Zhao Heng to move the capital.

However, now the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty are most worried not about the military aspect, but that the Great Song Dynasty has Liu E, and the Liao State has Xiao Yunjin, these two women have won the imperial power through different means, especially after Xiao Yunjin seized power, he was aggressive, and even once rumored to be the emperor, but Liu E on the Great Song Dynasty side was actively preparing to enter the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, almost no different from the emperor.

Maybe it was Xiao Yunjin's incident that gave the Great Song Dynasty a warning, so after the news came, a wave of opposition to Liu E's entry into the temple broke out again in the court, especially the third division Xue Kui, that is, the guy who satirized Zhao Zhen with his daughter, led people to break into the vertical arch hall many times to admonish Liu E in person.

However, it is a pity that Liu E is determined to enter the Taimiao this time, and he can't listen to Xue Kui's advice at all, and even in order to show his attitude, he directly demoted Yan Shu, who had just been promoted, out of the capital again, in fact, the most fierce opposition is Xue Kui, but Xue Kui, as the third envoy, has far more influence than Yan Shu, Liu E didn't want to have any chaos in the court at this time, so he killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and killed Yan Shu, a "chicken" that is both important and unimportant.

However, Yan Shu's depreciation did not intimidate Xue Kui and these people, but more fiercely wrote against them, but at this time Xue Kui also learned to be smart, he knew that it was impossible to completely dispel Liu E's idea of entering the Taimiao, so he was opportunistic and still worked the bow, so he asked Liu E: "If you dress like a king when you enter the Taimiao, how should you bow down when you see them?" ”

It is the emperor's prerogative to enter the temple to worship his ancestors, so when Liu E proposed to enter the temple, the officials of the Ministry of Rites proposed that Liu E should wear the clothes of the Son of Heaven and wear the sword of the Son of Heaven, which is also in line with the requirements of etiquette, and it can be said that Liu E is actually the emperor on this day.

Maybe it was Xue Kui's advice that played a role, or maybe Liu E saw that the ministers were so fiercely opposed, so she also decided to take a step back, so in the end, Liu E also followed Xue Kui's suggestion, that is, to modify the dragon robe and crown she wore when she entered the temple, which mainly has three aspects.

The first modification is the dragon robe, after the discussion of the ministers, Liu E agreed to remove some patterns from the dragon robe he wears, so as to distinguish it from the real dragon robe, and the second modification is the accessory, that is, no longer wearing the sword of the Son of Heaven.

The third and most important one, that is, the crown, the crown has always been the representative of the status of the ancients, the crown worn by the emperor in the grand sacrifice is also called the crown, the so-called Xuan, in fact, is the colorful silk rope, each through 12 pieces of colorful jade, according to the order of Zhu, white, Cang, Huang, Xuan, each piece of jade is 1 inch apart, each 12 inches long, it is said that the crown is made by the Yellow Emperor, only the emperor can wear it, the production is extremely complex and accurate, can not make the slightest mistake.

However, in order to let the ministers agree, Liu E also agreed to modify the crown she wore, although the crown she wore was the same as the Son of Heaven was twelve before and after, but it was not the colorful jade used by the emperor, but the pearl commonly used by women, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites also gave this different crown a nice name - "Yitian Crown".

Although some things have been removed, in the eyes of ordinary people, Liu E's crown is still not much different from the dragon robe, especially when Liu E tried on this dress, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were also called to watch, but the two stared at it for a long time, only then did they find out a few subtle differences, this is still because Zhao Zhen was originally the emperor, and he often wears this dragon robe.

With the production of Liu E's special dragon robe, some ministers in the court finally accepted the fact that Liu E wanted to enter the Taimiao, after all, they had done their best, and now unless they directly launched a coup d'état and then imprisoned Liu E, no one would want to prevent her from entering the Taimiao.

On February 11, Li Zhang came to the palace again to find Zhao Zhen, tomorrow is the day for Liu E to enter the temple to worship his ancestors, but Li Zhang's heart is becoming more and more uneasy, because Liu E's spirit has become more and more excited in the past few days, and he also privately heard from Luo Chongxun that Liu E has hardly slept much at night these days, which also makes him more uneasy.
