Not only Jerod, but any emperor would do this. Although the emperor's skills are good, his only loophole is that the emperor died before the heir was announced, which made all the forces of the entire Khitan begin to be arrogant, but no one can control it.

The Khitans only announced their heirs when they were in prison, which was also to ensure the safety of the heirs. Having ministers join one of the supporter factions, and when they get the throne, the prince will promote those who support him. This is also a test of the vision of the ministers. As a person in power, there must be no development potential if you have a bad vision, so every time you change an emperor in the court, you will change a group of ministers, and it is because of this that the Khitan will continue to develop and become stronger and stronger.

But the impact of Yelu Deguang's death on the Khitan was too great, and no minister was willing to lose power, so they would fully support the princes of their faction to ascend the throne and become emperors, so it was also for their own glory and wealth, so even if these princes didn't want to fight, the ministers and nobles would force him to fight.

Now there are five forces in the Khitan to contain each other, and the person who forcibly integrates these five forces together is Yeluzhen, the king of Shenwu. Today's Khitan is the only one who has this right to speak. In the same way, Yelu Zhen also has this strength, as long as Yelu goes crazy, no one in the entire Khitan Palace can leave alive.

It is precisely because of Yeluzhen's force that several princes are forced to stay in the palace and are not allowed to go out, even if only one person leaves the palace, this person will be stationed with a part of the army, ready to rebel at any time.

But in fact, four of these five forces have prepared all the work of rebellion, and only those who support Yelujing do not intend to rebel, and they are ready to rehabilitate.

Yelu Jing can be said to be expected, as the eldest son, his strength is extraordinary, and no one dares to say anything about him inheriting the throne. Only a few of his brothers dared to disobey, as long as the reason was sufficient, they could rebel and then enclose the land as king, which was also what Yeluzhen was most worried about.

I don't know how much time, how much financial and human resources it will take to quell all the rebel forces, which is a burden that the Khitan cannot bear. What's more, the Central Plains can take this opportunity to attack the Khitan, and the only person who will be happy at that time is Guo Wei.

The second prince, Yelu Sage, was the most unconvinced, because the former emperor Yelu Deguang was the second son of Yelu Abaoji, and the first emperor was not the eldest son, so Yelu Jing's inheritance of the throne was the most unpopular. The title of King Taiping is not for nothing, the martial arts of the second prince Yelu Sage are far better than Yelu Jing, and even under the entire Khitan count, there are not many people who can win against Yelu Sage, so Yelu Sage has always advocated fairness and openness, and it is best for several brothers to compete in martial arts to decide the winner, and whoever wins will be the emperor......

The third prince, Yelu Tiande, strongly opposed it, because his martial arts were the worst. But the resourcefulness is okay, but there is too much wine on weekdays, and there is no strong internal force to support the poor health. He advocated an intelligence test the most, because being an emperor does not require too strong martial arts, and a smart mind is more important.

The four princes, Yelu Enemy, refused to accept it, and no one was convinced. But compared to people's hearts, he is not as good as the eldest brother Yelu Jing, his martial arts are not as good as the second brother Yelu Sage, and his resourcefulness is not as good as the third brother Yelu Tiande, so Yelu Enemy Lie has long planned to split, and has been silent, and when someone asks him, he will cheat, and if he can't play tricks, he will be scolded directly. As long as he doesn't do it, Yelu Dilie can use any shameless tricks.

Jerubel is a princess, she does not compete for power and strength for the throne, and he has no ambition to compete for the throne. Of course, Yelu Beier supports the eldest brother Yelu Jing, because a discerning person knows at a glance that Ye Lu Jing is the material for becoming an emperor, and the other three straw bales are not a good thing even if they become emperors.

In addition to the power of the four princes, there is another force that has also been supported by many people, except for Yelu Jing, he is the one who supports him the most. Yelu Deguang's nephew, Yelu Abaoji's eldest son and grandson, Yelu Ruan. His identity is very slightly awkward, but this person is both civil and military, open-minded, and quite similar to Yelu Deguang, so there are many people who also support him as emperor.

At the beginning, Yelu Ruan's father lost to Yelu Deguang in the battle for imperial power, but Yelu Ruan's father was the eldest son of Yelu Abaoji, and Yelu Ruan was the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he also had the right to inherit the throne.

These five forces are only the most qualified and have the best chance of getting the throne. There are also countless small forces that are about to move, all of them are dreaming of being emperors.

Because of Zongxin, the whole Khitan chaos has become a pot of porridge, it was originally a country integrated by nomads, and there are countless titles of various thrones, these people have been impatient, ready to rise at any time to break away from the Great Liao, unless the emperor's candidate is immediately fixed, otherwise the Khitan will inevitably split.

After listening to Yeluhong's full account, Zong Xin was ashamed and said, "How much trouble have I caused you? I myself feel a little ashamed. Otherwise...... I'll pay you five taels of silver. ”

"You don't have to, as long as you can integrate these forces, let a few princes stop a little, and don't fight for the throne, the old man is willing to pay for your life. The more Yeluhong spoke, the more excited he became, and even made his own life a condition, as long as Zongxin could quell the Khitan civil strife, it didn't matter if he gave him this life.

Yeluhong knew the consequences of the Khitan split, but several princes were unwilling to waste this good opportunity for the sake of their own glory and wealth. Even if the Khitan is divided, he will ascend the throne and become emperor. And they are justified, and no one is qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

Every prince is very confident in himself, and even if the Khitan splits, he can integrate the Khitan again with his own strength.

Zong Xin sneered: "Are you really willing to give up this life for the sake of the Khitan?"

"This matter is absolutely true, as long as the master can calm the Khitan civil strife, the old man will immediately commit suicide in front of you to atone for his previous sins. ”

"Well, you can die now. ”

Without saying a word, Yeluhong directly pulled out his talisman sword, and then put it on his neck...... But this knife can't cut it, because Zong Xin grabbed the blade of the knife, and his strength was far greater than that of Yeluhong, and the blade of the knife was naturally towering and immovable.

"Don't worry, you have to lead the way for me, otherwise how can I go to find Yeluzhen?" Zong Xin said: "I was joking with you just now, don't take it too seriously." Anyway, I caused this trouble, but ...... This is also because Yelu Deguang is too confident in himself, clearly telling him that this is a trap, and he still jumps in with his eyes closed, which is none of my business. ”

"There is no need to mention this matter, you and I know it well, and if we can attack the heart, we will eliminate ourselves, and we have known since ancient times that soldiers are not belligerent. If you don't judge the situation, you will be lenient and severe, and you will have to think deeply about how to govern Shu later. These two sentences were learned by the master's guidance when Chengdu first met the master. The old man knows the master's way of attacking the heart, the ability to judge the situation, and the ability to use both soft and hard to make people know whether it is a trap or have to jump. Yeluhong said: "If the old man wants you to have this ability, it is estimated that the Central Plains will already be in my Khitan bag." But the old man still has something unclear. ”

Zong Xin said: "You know you don't understand, but you don't have to understand, Yelu Zhen will tell you." ”

"Sure enough, a mortal like me can't even understand it. Yeluhong sighed: "No wonder I only have the qualification to lead the way for Master Zongxin, the younger brother said that you will definitely come, the old man has never doubted, not that he does not doubt this matter, but he does not doubt my younger brother." It's just that...... I don't understand. ”

Of course, Yeluhong didn't understand, Zongxin finally laid out a big situation, leading Yeludeguang into the game and dying in the Central Plains, so that the Khitan civil strife and division were imminent. All of this was Zongxin's plan, and he finally made this plan come true, and this result was great news for the Central Plains.

Although the Khitan has not yet died in the country, I am afraid that it will not last long if it continues like this. In the end, the Khitan will be divided, not to mention the now strong and prosperous Great Zhou, I am afraid that even Goryeo will not be able to defeat it at that time, and in the end I will have to ask for help everywhere, and even be forced back to Beijing, and most of the land will be colonized by other countries.

It is not easy for Zongxin to achieve such an effect, and this can be said to be the biggest victory of the Central Plains against the Khitan. And this is also the result that the Central Plains people want to see the most, but ...... Why did Zongxin deliberately come to quell this civil strife?

In fact, in the first battle of Kaifeng, although Yelu Deguang died and lost a lot of troops, the impact of that war on the Khitan was not very huge. If the Khitan is integrated again, it will soon recover, and the result will still be a long-term pressure and confrontation with Cangzhou.

Now that the Khitan royal family has cracked Fu Yanqing's five-shaped formation, as long as the army presses the Central Plains, it will be broken. Didn't Zongxin think about this kind of thing? Could it be that Zongxin really wanted to help the Khitan unify the world and settle the Central Plains?

Yeluhong immediately shook his head, Zongxin was definitely not such a good person. Although he can't understand the tacit understanding between him and his younger brother, there must be something wrong with it. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, but ...... Zongxin's skills are superior, but I am afraid that the younger brother will suffer from Zongxin again.

"Lord Yelu, where are you going to take us now?

Yeluhong said: "This king has a humble room in Mozhou, which is temporarily used as a place for the master to rest. Have a full meal today, and set off for Dading Mansion in Shangjing tomorrow, the little brother has been waiting there to panic, and I have to use the Flying Eagle to tell him that you have come to the territory of Liao, so that he can rest assured for the time being. ”

Zong Xin said with a smile: "It's necessary to have a full meal, but there is no need to worry about tomorrow, let's go to Youzhou first." I wanted to go to Youzhou a long time ago, and you just said that Yelu Ruan, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is in Youzhou, right? One of the reasons why your eldest brother sent you here is to pick me up, and the other reason is to listen to my orders, let me go wherever I go unimpeded, and go to Youzhou tomorrow to do business, if you want the Khitan to integrate again, you must pass the Yelu Ruan pass. ”
