Chapter 37 Section Four

With the efforts of Yelu Wuzhi, both the Empress Dowager Shulu and Liao Shizong agreed to a peace agreement, so the two sides began to send representatives to discuss a peace agreement.After several rounds of negotiations, the grandparent and grandson finally met in the big tent in the grassland, but they still had fundamental differences on the issue of the heir to the throne: one was to make his youngest son the emperor, and the other One is to resolutely keep his throne.So, how will the eloquent Yelu Wuzhi solve this difficult problem? Yeluwuzhi is eloquent and eloquent, and he is especially good at grasping the main contradiction. Facing the Queen Mother, he uttered the greatest pain in Emperor Sejong's heart, and said what Emperor Sejong wanted to say the most, a blockbuster: "The former emperor Now, why did you establish an heir?" ("The Biography of Yeluwuzhi in Liao History") After the death of Emperor Taizu, why didn't you let the crown prince Renhuang Yelubei succeed you and establish Emperor Taizong?This is what Sejong is most dissatisfied with. It should be my father who succeeded, but my grandmother was partial and my uncle succeeded.Yelu Wuzhi said this for Shizong first, if Shizong said this to his grandmother, the grandfather and grandson would have to fight again.After he finished speaking, the queen mother replied: "It is Taizu's will to establish an heir to the sage."But no one knows whether Emperor Taizong followed Taizu's will when he succeeded to the throne, because Taizu died of illness suddenly on the way back to his teacher after destroying the Bohai Kingdom. nonsense?So in this way, it means that the queen mother has grasped the moral high ground. I am not abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, but I have the will of the great ancestor.Naturally, Sejong could not say that your will was forged.

Then, Wu Zhi asked Shizong again: "Why did the king stand up for himself and not report to his relatives?" ("The Biography of Yelu Wuzhi in Liao History") Why did you proclaim yourself emperor in the army without reporting to your relatives?Why don't you wait for your grandma to nod to be the emperor?This sentence is what the Empress Dowager Shulu wanted to question Sejong the most, which means that Yelu Wuzhi first said what both sides wanted to say the most, and you give the answer so that I can judge.As soon as Shizong heard this, he said: "The emperor should be established but not established, so go." ("The Biography of Yeluwuzhi in Liao History") Back then, according to the etiquette and law, my father should inherit the Datong, but my grandmother and uncle After taking away the throne, my father had to go to another country... He wanted to go on and say, Wu Zhi's face sank at this moment, stop, stop talking, your father went to another country to join the Later Tang Dynasty, this is treason, Are you still putting it on the list of achievements?Even if the Queen Mother has something wrong, he can't treason, and even served as the Jiedu envoy of the Later Tang Dynasty, and changed to wear Han clothes. This is not an act of being a son or a minister at all.And you, my lord, as the grandson of the king, the bones of the Daxing emperor are not yet cold, you proclaim yourself the emperor without authorization, you come to the capital, threaten your grandmother, and provoke a civil war, can you bear the crime?When Shizong heard it, what's going on, where are you from?She showed displeasure, while the queen mother showed complacency, after all, she is my person, and this speaks to me.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Wuzhi immediately changed the topic and aimed at the Queen Mother.Queen Mother, you are really eccentric. You have abandoned the elders and established the younger ones, and now you are still entrusting the will of the great ancestor.You established Taizong as the emperor, which made people feel uneasy. You see that the civil war is about to break out, and the situation has developed to this point. You cannot absolve yourself of the blame. As the mother of the country, you know that you made a mistake, and you have no intention of regretting it.If it continues like this, there is no way to solve this matter today, and we can only fight. At the end of the war, the lives will be ruined, the brothers will kill each other, and the foundation of Taizu Taizong will be destroyed.Yelu Yazhi became more and more agitated as he spoke, and threw the wat board in his hand to the ground.

When he did this, the grandparent and grandson were all shocked.The empress dowager and the emperor thought about it, you see he was so angry about the state affairs, he was rude before, throwing the wat board on the ground, it is equivalent to hitting the grandfather and grandson with 50 boards each, you are both wrong, so don't say anything.The best way now is to take a step back. If you want to negotiate a peace, you have to make concessions.First of all, the queen mother has to show a high profile, because after all, you are a grandmother, and it is not appropriate to care about your grandson.So the Empress Dowager made a speech first, and said with deep emotion: "Xiang Taizu was troubled by his younger brothers, the world was poisoned, and the scars have not recovered. There is nothing more mediocre!" The three rebellions of the younger brothers were all experienced by me personally. I put down the rebellion of the younger brothers with the Emperor Taizu.After speaking, the old lady burst into tears and picked up the wat board thrown down by the roof.Emperor Sejong saw his grandma crying, which was unprecedented, she didn't even blink her eyes when she cut her own wrist, but now that Yelu Wuzhi said something, grandma actually cried.Sejong also quickly stated that although my father lost the throne and defected to the Later Tang Dynasty, he did not do anything that endangered the country and the country, but now I have done it, leading an army to beat my grandma, seeing blood and flesh flying everywhere, and people dying. There was something wrong with me, and the emperor cried too.

When the empress dowager and the emperor cried, everyone around them cried loudly. At this time, it was the loudest voice, and whoever had the loudest voice was the most loyal.Both the queen mother and the emperor are crying, what do you mean if you don't cry?Didn't the Queen Mother pick up the wat board thrown by Yelu Wuzhi?Emperor Sejong also went up and supported the other side of the wat board. The two handed the wat board to Yelu Wuzhi together.
