Chapter 91 Section 6 The Conspiracy Revealed

Yelu Chongyuan and his son planned to usurp the throne. They mobilized their troops and horses, intending to take advantage of Liao Daozong's hunting opportunity to attack the palace and kill the emperor.However, just when Yelu Zhongyuan was ready to act, an accident happened. At this time, the news leaked out.Ye Luliang, an official in the Empress Dowager's Palace, found out about this and hurriedly reported to the Empress Dowager, saying that Chongyuan and his son wanted to commit misdeeds and murder Jinshang, please invite the emperor here.The empress dowager quickly invited the emperor and told him about the conspiracy of Chongyuan and his son.

Emperor Daozong didn't believe it, it's impossible, I'm so good to my uncle and cousin, and I give them such high officials, it's impossible for them to rebel.Then, Daozong pointed to Yeluliang and said, you have separated my flesh and blood, what do you think should be done?Knife, axe, saw, frying pan, take your pick.When Yeluliang heard this, he knelt down and said to the emperor: "If you speak nonsense, you are willing to lay down your axe. Your majesty may fall into the trap of thieves if you don't prepare early. If you call Nerugu, you can know what happened." "Biography") If Weichen is talking nonsense, this knife, saw, ax, oil pan, I will choose whichever you want me to choose, if you want me to choose the oil pan, I will jump off immediately.But if Your Majesty doesn't prepare early, it will be too late to regret when the thief makes his move.My minister has an idea for you, summon Nerugu to come, if he does not come, it will prove that he is going to rebel.While Daozong was hesitating, the Empress Dowager reminded that this major social event should be planned as early as possible. Yeluliang has followed me for many years and is an old man in the palace. He will not talk nonsense. He has evidence. It is for your own good.Emperor Daozong then sent envoys to recruit Nerugu.

As soon as the envoy arrived at Nerugu's tent, he was tied up by Nerugu.Fortunately, nomads don't care about civil servants and generals, because of their eating habits, they always carry a small knife for cutting meat.The Khitan people wear a belt around their waists, and the belt is full of objects, such as flints, knives, chopsticks, and spoons, which are usually carried on their bodies.So the messenger pulled out the meat cleaver he carried with him, cut the rope, cut open the tent and ran away.The envoy fled back and told Emperor Daozong that the minister escaped from death and almost lost sight of His Majesty. Nerugu really wanted to rebel and tied me up. The minister escaped.When he said this, Daozong believed it.

Daozong hurriedly summoned Yeluren, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, and Xu Wang Yeluren to discuss first: "Aiqing, Nielugu is going to rebel, plan to let him out?" Yeluren said first: "This Cao is vicious, and I have been suspicious for a long time." ("The First Biography of Yeluren in Liao History") Daozong said that you have suspected him for a long time, why didn't you tell me?Yeluren first speaks from his heart, will it work for you?Yeluliang told you that you are going to fry him with oil, and I want to tell you that you will boil me without boiling water!The Lord Mingchen is straight, if you don't accept the faithful advice, you will have today.The late emperor had said long ago that Neil's ancient eyes were opposite, and this guy looked like he was about to rebel.The first emperor warned you, the empress dowager warned you, and the ministers advised you, but you didn't listen. Now he really turned against him, right?Daozong said, what should we do now?I am going to take refuge in the Privy Council.After finishing speaking, the emperor turned around and ran away, the concubines and ministers ignored him.
