Chapter 93 Chapter Eighteen The First Traitor

After growing up, Yelu Yixin, although not very knowledgeable, became an official by virtue of his handsome appearance, and became the Privy Councilor of the North Court step by step.It was not until 1063 AD that Yelu Zhongyuan and Yelu Nielugu father and son launched the emperor's uncle's rebellion, which gave Yelu Yixin the opportunity to become an important minister in the court.So how did Yelu Yixin become an important minister of the court and gradually control the government through a rebellion? Yelu Yixin and Yelu Renxian made great contributions to quelling the emperor's uncle's rebellion.Before Yelu Nerugu launched the rebellion, he knew that Yeluren would be difficult to deal with first. Yeluren was the privy envoy of the Southern Court, in charge of military power, and he was extremely loyal.If they want to rebel, Yeluren will definitely block their way, so they want to transfer Yeluren out of the court and serve as an official in another place.

Emperor Daozong was a faint king who only knew how to hunt and drink all day long and ignored government affairs, so he planned to agree to this matter.While waiting for approval, he casually asked Yelu Yixin, Nerugu and the others wanted to get Ren out of the court first, what do you think of this matter?Asked casually, Yelu Yixin did not expect Yelu Yixin to answer: "Ren is an old minister, and he has a moment of virtue. It is not appropriate to make up for others." People should not be supplemented by outsiders, they should stay in the court to assist the emperor.As soon as the emperor heard that it made sense, he left Yeluren in the court first.Anyway, the emperor didn't have any idea. He often appointed officials by throwing dice or coins.Or ask the ministers to draw lots. Now there is a vacancy for a privy envoy. Four of you will grab it. Whoever gets it will get it.

Why did Yelv Yixin protect Yeluren first?Because he was not powerful enough at the time, he wanted to cling to Renxian.After all, Renxian was famous for a while, and he was much more famous than him. He kept Yelu Renxian, on the one hand, he could win a good name, such a loyal minister was kept by me; on the other hand, he could also please Yelu Renxian Boss, the emperor was going to kick you out, but I kept you. Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin contributed the most to put down the emperor's uncle's rebellion. Yelv Renxian was an upright gentleman, and loyalty and treachery did not stand side by side, so Yelv Yixin tried to squeeze Renxian out.Yelu Yixin asked his subordinates to make false accusations, write anonymous letters, and use all kinds of despicable means.In the end, Yelu Renxian was finally squeezed out of Beijing and served as a stay-at-home in Nanjing. He failed to return to the court until his death.
