Chapter 4: The Young Emperor and Empress of Da Liao (02)
It was 10 o'clock in the afternoon, and outside Ouchi's dormitory, the sky was blue, and the time-keeping sundial was bathed in sunlight after the rain.
In the dormitory, the twenty-one-year-old Emperor Ye Luxian of Daliao was taking a nap in the morning on the dragon couch. In the incense burner on the side of the dragon couch, wisps of soothing incense rose and permeated the entire dormitory.
Through the gentle curtain, I saw that the young emperor on the dragon bed had slender eyebrows and eyes, a slightly square face, soft and serene facial features, and a slightly pale face, which seemed to lack the roughness and robustness of some northern grassland men, and more the weakness of southern scholars.
Of course, this is not only because the young emperor still has half of the Han family blood in his veins, in fact, the young emperor has been suffering from nightmares for a long time, and his health has been worrying.
It turned out that since the age of four, in Huoshendian
In the "Chacha Rebellion", he was lucky enough to survive because he was wrapped in felt by the imperial chef Liu Xie Li and hid in the firewood stack, he witnessed his imperial grandmother, his father, and his mother being killed by Yelu Chache, Yelu Chacha and other monks, especially his mother, the retort from the Han family, was almost cut into meat by Yelu Cha Che and others who hated the Han family.
Since then, the bloody scenes of crying and shouting have been deeply engraved in his mind like a knife and an axe, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
In the days and nights that followed, he woke up from bloody nightmares countless times.
After the death of his father, the eldest son of Taizu's second son Taizong Yelu Deguang, Yelu Jing, inherited the throne and was the fourth emperor of Liao, Liao Muzong, and the Liao imperial line was transferred from Taizu's eldest son Yelu Bei to Taizu's second son Yelu Deguang.
Although Mu Zong has been enthroned as the emperor, he is narrow-minded, incompetent, mediocre and tyrannical, and greedy for alcohol and murder
The rebellion of the princes and nobles of the royal family of "one tent and three rooms" and four tents is still endless, just before the assassination of Montenegro, there were as many as six major cases of rebellion by Mu Zongqin, and the kings of the clan were killed and imprisoned in many ways.
The successive rebellions made Mu Zong's thirst for killing and drinking even more, and his suspicion of the kings and tribes of the clan was even worse.
Therefore, as the son of Sejong who lives under the nose of Mu Zong, Yeluxian has to be even more cautious, and it can even be said that he is scared, and he will never dare to make the slightest mistake in doing things for others.
But Rao is like this, Yeluxian's situation is also full of dangers, if it weren't for some of the tribal forces that are devoted to Shizong, and some Han officials who are dedicated to maintaining it, Yeluxian may have suffered an accident.
The long-term nightmares caused the young Yeluxian to suffer from a long period of sleep deprivation and nervous breakdown, which was greatly exacerbated by the sixteen years of fear and high nervous tension at Muzon's side, which continued to damage his body.
