Chapter 87 Section 2

The key reason why Liao Xingzong did not kill Luo Yiqing was because Luo Yiqing once corrected a huge mistake of his.So, what big mistake did Emperor Xingzong make?Why did the Manchu Dynasty need an actor to correct the emperor's mistakes when there were so many civil and military ministers? An important reason for Xingzong's throne to be consolidated is that his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan informed him.Originally, Empress Dowager Fatian was going to abolish Xingzong and make Yelu Chongyuan the emperor, but Yelu Chongyuan came to inform you foolishly, mother wants to make me, I will let you know.Only then did Xingzong of Liao imprison the Empress Dowager Fatian and take power alone.After Xingzong himself took power, he named Yelu Chongyuan the emperor's younger brother. The younger brother is like the prince. After the emperor dies, you will inherit the throne. It means that Emperor Xingzong recognized Yelu Chongyuan as the heir to the throne.As a result, Yelu Chongyuan got carried away in the court, and no one dared to accuse Yelu Chongyuan of his fault, because the emperor trusted him too much.

Once, Emperor Xingzong played Shuanglu with Yelu Chongyuan.Shuanglu is a kind of gambling game in ancient China. Since it is gambling, it has to be colored.The emperor bet with the emperor's younger brother, winning or losing is not a matter of three melons and two dates.The emperor gambled while drinking, and soon got drunk, and his gambling addiction became more and more serious.What are they betting on?Take the city and population in their hands.I lost this one, I lost ten cities to you, and I lost the next one, I lost one hundred thousand households to you.The emperor was really a bit memorized that day, Confucius moved - all lost (book).The more the emperor was playing, the happier he was, the ministers were getting anxious. If the bet continued like this, the Khitan Kingdom would become Yelu Zhongyuan, but no one dared to stop it.At this time, Luo Yiqing jumped out. He was an actor and clown, and what he was doing was just making jokes, so he shouted: "Shuanglu is crazy, I will lose with you." ("Liao Shi Luo Yiqing") "Biography") to play Shuanglu, don't be stupid, if you continue to gamble, you will lose it.With this sound, Xingzong woke up from the wine, oh, I can’t play anymore, if I play again, I will become a horse for Yelu Zhongyuan’s family, and this ridiculous game will end immediately.Let's stop here today, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep.As soon as Yelu Chongyuan counted the spoils, he has already obtained more than a dozen cities, that's it, I am also satisfied.Luo Yiqing stopped Xingzong's absurd act, if he hadn't stepped forward to stop it, the consequences would have been disastrous.

So Luo Yi lightly dared to hurt the emperor, first let the emperor touch his nose, and then said that the emperor was not Tang Taizong, and the emperor didn't do anything to him.Such an excellent performing artist has to be kept, and he can be used to amuse him in the future. If something happens, sending him to the front to make jokes may solve the problem.
