Chapter 45 Part Two "Sleeping King"

Although the rebellion was quelled, Emperor Sejong had been killed, leaving the Liao Kingdom without a master for a while.Yelujing, the king of Shouan who led the army to suppress the rebellion, was the only direct royal relative in the accompanying army, so the officials supported him to ascend the throne. He was also the very famous Liao Muzong in the history of the Liao Kingdom, known as the "Sleeping King".So, why do people call Liao Muzong like this?What kind of emperor was he? After the Chagao rebellion was quelled, King Shou'an inherited the Datong. He was the very famous emperor Liao Muzong in the history of the Liao Dynasty.

Mu Zong is a very famous emperor not only in Liao history, but also in Chinese history. What is he famous for?Famous for sleeping, known as "Sleeping King".You can sleep very well, why can you sleep so well?Is it because he can get drunk very much, won't he go to sleep when he is drunk?When we look through the "History of Liao", we will find that Emperor Mu Zong became the emperor in the eighteenth or nineteenth year. ah?In the 5,000-odd words, Mu Zong didn't make many appearances. He was very low-key and didn't show much.What is the most frequently seen word?drink wine!

According to historical records, Mu Zong set up a special wine-making institution in the palace, and whenever there were festivals and state events, he would hold banquets and drink extravagantly.Today the peonies bloom early, come and come, drink for three days, tomorrow there will be some auspiciousness, the grain will be plentiful, be good, drink for three days.He drank when he had something to do, woke up when he was drunk, and drank when he was awake. The record he kept was drinking for nine days in a row, drinking heavily all night long.As long as you hear that a minister has good wine at home, you will drive there immediately.If your family has good wine, there is no need to advertise, the emperor will come to the door immediately, and his ears are good.In the minister's house, there are staggered cups of wine, and you will return when you are drunk.When he was drunk, he also rewarded these ministers at will, adding officials to ranks.The problem is that these wills were made by him while he was drunk, and he will not accept his account when he wakes up.Can the ministers not hold grudges?You spoiled my good wine for nothing.The reason why I try my best to curry favor with you and give you good wine is not because I heard that you have such a characteristic that if you drink too much, you will be appointed as an official, so I thought this good thing would happen to me.You are so good, you sealed me as a prime minister with one mouth, and I was beautiful all night. You snored that night, and I was so happy that I didn’t sleep that night. When the morning came, you told me that there was no such thing. Are you annoying?Later, Emperor Mu Zong also felt a little embarrassed, so he said to his ministers: "I behaved well when I was drunk, and I couldn't follow the rules. After drinking, you can repeat it." ("The Chronicle of Mu Zong of Liao Dynasty") I drank too much When I was drunk, I was confused and talked nonsense. Don’t listen to what I said. After I sober up, you will repeat it.The problem is that when he is not awake, he will drink again when he wakes up. As soon as he opens his eyes, his hands will subconsciously grab the wine glass, and he will drink as soon as he wakes up.

Why does the emperor only know how to drink all day long?Nothing serious to do?Emperor Mu Zong was not a master of talents, but Yelu Wuzhi persuaded him to put down the rebellion and frightened him like that.What does the killing of the emperor have to do with me?Let other people do the counterinsurgency, why should I go?Yelu Wuzhi said that if you don't go, you will be finished. This inspired his Khitan man's blood, and raised troops to suppress the rebellion.In fact, the counter-rebellion was also planned by Yelu Yazhi. After the rebellion was put down, Mu Zong became emperor and named Yelu Yazhi the king of the North Court. Mu Zong felt that it was enough to entrust the government to Yelu Yazhi. Zheng also has no interest, and is happy to drink every day.

Fortunately, there was Yelu Wuzhi who assisted the government. Yelu Wuzhi was the king of the North Court, and the king of the South Court at that time was also a man of wisdom and far-sightedness. The two kings were quite talented in governing the country. Agricultural production, enriching the country and strengthening the army, is called the king of enriching the people by the Khitan people.With these two wealthy kings, the common people will not cause trouble.
