Chapter 48 Section 5 Kitchen Killer

Although Liao Muzong asked the officials to dissuade him from killing innocent people indiscriminately, the ministers were all uneasy. Once he made an admonition, could Mu Zong ignore it as he said?Or kill the counselors together?However, if left unchecked, it will eventually lead to the demise of the country.In this case, one person stepped forward and took the lead in admonishing.So, who is this person?How did he persuade the emperor?Will Mu Zong listen to his advice, or will he kill him? This person was inspected by Yeluyi Lage in front of the palace, and he was trusted by Muzong of Liao Dynasty. He wanted to persuade him when he saw Muzong killing innocent people indiscriminately.The checks in front of the hall are equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, holding military power.Once, a person who raised pheasants for the emperor accidentally injured the pheasants.He knew that he could not save his life and was about to flee, but was caught by the emperor.Okay, you, if you hurt my pheasant and dare to run away, the emperor will kill him immediately.Yeluyi Lage hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy for this person. This person was guilty, but he did not deserve to die. I beg Your Majesty to rest the wrath of the thunder and not kill him.Liao Muzong didn't listen, so he killed the chicken farmer, and then called Yeluyi Lage, pointed to the man's body and told him, accept your old man's body.Didn't you advise me not to kill him?Explain that you have friendship with him, he is your friend, well, now you can take his body away for burial.One can imagine how angry Yeluyi Lage was at that time, I was inspected in front of the palace, armed with heavy soldiers, you humiliated me like this!It can be seen from this that how chilling the ministers are!

Although Emperor Muzong of the Liao Dynasty said that "I may be angry and abuse the innocent, the Qing and others will remonstrate, but there is no way to follow", but who dares to remonstrate, is it useful?The number of people who died in vain not only did not decrease, but continued to increase.Especially the attendants around Mu Zong lived in fear all the year round, and were easily blamed. They didn't know when their lives would be lost.In this way, the attendants have to think of a way, if they can’t lead their necks, they can kill them first, so they should act first, if you treat us too badly, then we will fight with white knives and red knives with red knives, and we will fight it out.

In the nineteenth year of Mu Zong's reign, in February Jisi (March 12), he went hunting again.The prey harvested that day was particularly large, especially a big black bear, and the emperor was very happy.Hitting such a big bear is worth celebrating, right?You have to drink to celebrate, right?So the monarchs and ministers began to feast all night long, and after getting drunk, the emperor lay down with his clothes on.According to common sense, the emperor should be asleep at this time.The emperor has been in power these years, nicknamed the sleeping king, and sleeps a lot.The attendants saw that it was a tiring day and the emperor was going to sleep, so we could take a break.Unexpectedly, not long after the emperor lay down, Yigulu woke up again, possibly in a false sleep state.After getting up, he ordered water to be boiled for cooking, saying that he was hungry.He may have been too busy drinking just now, but he didn't have any food in his stomach.He called to boil water for cooking, but the fire in the kitchen went out, the attendants rushed to the kitchen, kicked all the cooks awake, and hurriedly boiled water for cooking, the emperor was hungry.Cooking takes time, but the emperor got impatient and yelled: I let the water be boiled for cooking, why it takes so long, you dog slaves, wait, I will kill you all one by one.Then he turned over and fell asleep again, probably really asleep this time.He forgot the murder words after he said them, and he might say them more than three hundred and sixty times a day.But the brothers who heard this, their faces were ashamed and dead, it's over, you said we were unlucky, who would have thought that he would get up again after lying down to eat?The kitchen can't keep burning!It seems that we are doomed anyway today, what should we do?Remembering the past, we all had family members who died at the hands of this tyrant. At that time, the work of servants might also be hereditary. The father was killed, and the son came in to serve the emperor.Today, if you die anyway, you will die if you kill the prince, and you will die if you tear up the dragon robe. Let's kill this tyrant and vent our anger for the people of the world. Even if we die, we deserve it!

These people did it as soon as they slapped their thighs.So some people went out to prepare horses, and some people walked into Mu Zong's tent with sharp knives in their arms.Assassinating Mu Zong was easy, the emperor was sleeping soundly with his back to the tent, the three of them rushed forward and attacked with swords, and Mu Zong was assassinated at the age of thirty-nine.It is precisely because of his excessive drinking and brutal killing that the "History of Liao Dynasty" written by the people of the Yuan Dynasty gave him four words: "Death is a good thing."It's a good death, it's the right time to die, it's finally dead, it's dead.

As soon as Mu Zong died, there was another problem with the succession of the Liao Kingdom's throne.He drank too much, was weak and sickly, not close to women, and had no children under his knees.So, who will succeed the new emperor?
