487 Yanxi Humvee

When Wan Yan Sheng became the emperor, he caught "three good cards". These three cards are all "Waste Emperor", Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan father and son, we have used a lot of pen and ink, written in more detail.

Let's talk about the third abolished emperor, that is, Yelu Yanxi, the last emperor of Liao.

Yelu Yanxi was born on April 19 in the first year of Taikang (1075) of Liao Daozong. He is the grandson of Taoism and the son of Yelu Jun, the prince of Zhaohuai. After his parents were killed, in the fifth year of Taikang (1079), when Liao Daozong went out on a safari, Yelu Yixin asked to leave the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi behind so that he could take the opportunity to murder him. Xuanhui of the Northern Courtyard reminded Liao Daozong to pay attention to the safety of the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi, and the Liao Daozong woke up and took the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi with him, so as to avoid an assassination.

On March 27, the sixth year of Taikang (1080), Liao Daozong named Yelu Yanxi as the king of Liang, plus the title of Shou Taiwei, and concurrently served as the Zhongshu Order. He sent six warriors to guard him closely, and ordered Xiao Urna to teach him. On the fifth day of the first month of November in the ninth year of Taikang (1083), Yelu Yanxi was named King of Yan. In the seventh year of Da'an (1091), Yelu Yanxi was appointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the general secretary of the northern and southern courts, and was appointed as the heir to the throne.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Shouchang (1101), Liao Daozong died, Yelu Yanxi was enthroned by the edict, and the ministers were honored as "Tianzuo Emperor". On the first day of February of the same year, the name of the year was changed to Qiantong, and amnesty was granted to the world.

On October 17, his father Zhaohuai Prince Yelu Jun was the Great Filial Piety Holy Emperor, the temple name Shunzong, and his mother Xiao Shi was the Empress Zhenshun. Grandmother Xuanyi Empress Xiao Guanyin and father Yelu Jun obtained Zhaoxue, and the ministers framed by Yelu Yixin were also rehabilitated, and Yelu Yixin's henchmen were killed.

During the reign of Emperor Tianzuo, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Delidi and other ministers blindly hunted, lived a desolate and luxurious life, and ignored national affairs, which led to the intensification of the struggle between the clan nobles, the common people revolted one after another, and the leaders of various tribes also rose up against Liao, and the rule of Liao tended to collapse.

In the fifth year of Qiantong (1105), Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, repeatedly asked for help from Liao because of the attack of the Northern Song Dynasty, and asked to marry the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo as his wife, on the fourth day of March of the same year, Emperor Tianzuo named Yelu Nanxian, the daughter of the imperial family, as Princess Cheng'an, married Li Qianshun, and sent envoys to the Northern Song Dynasty to persuade the Northern Song Dynasty to strike troops against Western Xia.

On the 10th day of the second month of February in the second year of Tianqing (1112), Emperor Tianzuo went to Chunzhou and summoned the nearby Jurchen chieftains to come to the court......

In the spring of the fourth year of Tianqing (1114), Wanyan Aguda officially launched an army against Liao. At first, Emperor Tianzuo did not regard Akuta as a big threat, but all the troops he sent to suppress Aguta were defeated.

In the fifth year of Tianqing (1115), Wanyan Aguda established the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Tianzuo began to perceive the threat of the Jurchens, after the Jin army captured Huanglongfu (now Nong'an County, Jilin Province), Yelu Yanxi personally led the army to conquer, but the result was defeated and fled, Shangjing and other places also fell one after another, but the Liao army was defeated by the Jurchens everywhere, and at the same time there was also a rebellion in the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Zhangnu rebelled in Shangjing, although the rebellion was quickly quelled, but this rebellion divided the Liao Dynasty.

After that, Liaodong, which was located in the former Bohai Kingdom, also rebelled and became independent. The rebellion was not put down until April 1116. However, in May of the same year, the Jurchens seized the opportunity to occupy Tokyo and Shenzhou.

In the seventh year of Tianqing (1117), the Jurchens attacked Chunzhou, and the Liao army was defeated without a fight.

In the tenth year of Tianqing (1120), Jin conquered Liao Shangjing and stayed behind to surrender.

In the first year of Baoda (1121), Yelu Yujian, the deputy governor of the army, plotted to depose Yelu Yanxi and set up Yelu Yanxi's second son, Yelu Aolu, the king of Jin, as the emperor. The matter was revealed, and Yelu Yu saw the betrayal of Liao and the reduction of gold. In the second year (1122), Yelu Yu led Jin soldiers to attack Yelu Yanxi stationed in Yuanyangbo (present-day Zhangbei, Hebei).

Xiao Fengxian offered a plan and said: "Yu Jian is just here to seize the king of Jin, and if he simply kills the king of Jin, he will die and naturally retreat." ”

Yelu Yanxi executed the innocent King of Jin. This chilled the aristocracy and made them think of rebellion. Instead of retreating, Yelu Yujian led the Jin army to approach Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Yanxi had to lead 5,000 guards to flee to Yunzhong (present-day Datong, Shanxi). In March, the Jin army captured Yunzhong, and he fled to Jiashan (now north of Tumut Zuoqi, Inner Mongolia), Nanjing (now Beijing) and other places.

In the second year of Baoda (1122), Emperor Tianzuo killed his second son. This made more Liao troops uneasy and defected to the Jin dynasty.

In April, Jin conquered Xijing. Due to the lack of information on the battlefield, the Liao Dynasty thought that Emperor Tianzuo was killed or besieged on the front line, so he appointed Yeluchun as the emperor in Nanjing, further expanding the chaos within the Liao Dynasty. And the ministers of the Liao Dynasty also did not protect themselves, some of them planned to surrender to the Song Dynasty with the Northern Song Dynasty minister Tong Tong, and some wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty. In November, Juyong Pass was lost, and in December, Liaonanjing was breached. In the first month of the third year of Baoda (1123), Shangjing rebelled against Jin.

In the fourth year of the Baoda Dynasty (1124), Emperor Tianzuo had lost most of the land of the Liao Dynasty, and he himself withdrew from Mowai, most of his sons and family members were killed or captured, although he also intended to regain Yanzhou and Yunzhou, but in reality he had little hope.

In the winter of the fourth year of Baoda (1124), Yelu Yanxi did not listen to the persuasion of Yelu Dashi and others, led the remnants of the army out of Jiashan, and went south to Wuzhou (now Shenchi, Shanxi) to try to recover Shanxi Prefecture, but was defeated by the Jin army, and many of his subordinates surrendered to the Jin army.

In the fifth year of Baoda (1125), he crossed the desert through the Tiande army (now east of Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia) and fled westward.

In February, he easily fled to 60 miles east of Yingzhou Xincheng (present-day west of Huairen County, Shanxi Province), where he was chased and captured by Jin's general Wanyan Lou. In August, he was sent to Jin Shangjing, and Jin Taizu demoted him to the title of King of the Sea, and soon changed his title to King Yu. Since then, Yelu Yanxi, like Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, has become a prisoner.

By the time Yan Liang took power, Song Huizong Zhao Ji had already died. However, Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Huan are still alive. These "two good cards" also lose any value.

Wan Yanliang felt that they had no meaning, made fun of them, and then executed them.

In June 1156, Wan Yanliang ordered Song Qinzong and Yelu Yanxi to play polo.

This year, Song Qinzong was 56 years old, and Yelu Yanxi was 81 years old. It stands to reason that 56-year-old Zhao Huan should be more energetic, in fact, it is the opposite.

Zhao Huan got on the horse several times, but he didn't go up, and the Jin people lost interest in him and ignored him.

Don't look at Yelu Yanxi is 81 years old, but his body is very good, he turned over the horse, rushed into the polo field, and played polo with the young men of the golden people.

Playing and fighting, Yelu Yanxi felt that something was wrong, and he was the only one left in the polo field. The golden soldiers around him drew their bows and prepared to shoot him.

Yelu Yanxi was furious, waved his polo stick and rushed out. With one shot, he opened the head of a golden soldier. snatched his sword and slashed several golden soldiers to death.

The Jin soldiers shot indiscriminately, and dozens of arrows fell from the horse. The Jin man drove the horses and trampled his corpse into a mess......
