Chapter 90 Section 5 Father and Son Conspiracy

Although Liao Daozong really wanted to be a good emperor, his fatuous nature was soon exposed.So, after this stupidity is shown, what kind of consequences will it bring to him? Such a stupid king, once he showed his stupidity, gave others an opportunity to take advantage of.Who is given a chance?It was Yelu Chongyuan mentioned earlier, the younger brother of the emperor who denounced his mother.Yelu Chongyuan originally waited for his elder brother to pass away and succeed to the throne himself, but he didn't expect that although his elder brother named him the emperor's younger brother, he didn't train him, but kept nurturing his own son.As he grew older, Yelu Zhongyuan gradually understood what an emperor was and the joy of being an emperor.The act of reporting back then must have made him regret it until his intestines were green.I regret that I gave up the red gold crown back then, why am I so stupid?I used to be so close to the throne, almost at my fingertips, but I foolishly told my brother.My elder brother appointed me as the emperor's younger brother, so I foolishly waited for his succession. I finally waited for him to die, and when my nephew came to ascend the throne.So no matter how loyal he is, there will definitely be dissatisfaction.

Emperor Daozong also knew that he could secure his position on the throne, and he owed his uncle from his father's generation, so he spared no effort in his uncle's gift.According to historical records: "The book (Chongyuan) is the uncle of the emperor, who is exempted from worshiping and not being named. He is the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. He is given gold coupons, four hats, and two-color robes, which is unprecedented in respect and favor." "Chong Yuan Biography") First of all, he was named the emperor's uncle, and when Emperor Daozong succeeded to the throne, he was first established as an uncle without a prince, which is unique in all Chinese dynasties.Moreover, the son inherits the throne from his father, the nephew inherits from his uncle, and the younger brother inherits from his elder brother. I have never heard of a nephew making his uncle the heir.Although Chongyuan was made an emperor's uncle, he also knew that the hope of succeeding his nephew was not very high.If Zhongyuan wanted to know that his nephew lived to be seventy-one, he would have even less confidence to survive.So you made me a royal uncle, I also know that this is a consolation prize, and I don't really think about being able to inherit the throne one day.He doesn't want to, but his son can.Yelu Nielugu, the son of Yelu Chongyuan, wanted to be emperor with all his heart.My father was stupid back then, but I'm not as stupid as my father, so he kept pushing his father. You should be the emperor when the first emperor died, but this kid came out to stand in the way, let's kill him.Once, twice, three times, the son kept saying that, and Yelu Zhongyuan was somewhat tempted.

Emperor Daozong was addicted to wine, sex, fishing and hunting all day long, and ignored the government, so he didn't understand what Chongyuan and his son were doing, and he repeatedly added officials to Chongyuan and his son.Chongyuan's son, Yelu Nielugu, was granted the titles of King Wu, King Chu, Jiedu envoy of Wuding Army, and envoy of the Privy Council of Zhinanyuan.The bigger their officials, the more power they have and the greater their ambitions.Not only were Chongyuan and his son not grateful to Daozong, on the contrary, they felt that the throne should belong to them.Why did you give us such a big official title?Because you feel ashamed, this throne should belong to us, and you want to make up for us, so you use this to make up for us?Do you think that is enough?So, I will accept whatever official title you give me, and then take the opportunity to develop my own personal story, so that one day I can take back the throne that should belong to me.Daozong's compromise and redemption not only failed to restrain Chongyuan and his son, but on the contrary made Chongyuan and his son more arrogant, but the time for the breakup and showdown was slightly delayed.

After Chongyuan and his son's wings became fuller, they decided to do it.
