Chapter 293 Chapter 292 Jingzong Yeluxian

Liao Jingzong, surnamed Yelu, named Xian, styled Xianning, and small style Mingjian.He was the second son of Sejong, and his mother was Xiao Shi, Empress Huaijie. He was born in the second year of Liao Tianlu (AD 948) and died in the fourth year of Qianheng (AD 982).He reigned from 969 to 982 AD. In September of the fifth year of Liao Tianlu (951 A.D.), a mutiny was launched in Chage, King Taining. Sejong knew that he could not escape, so in the chaos, he entrusted his son Yelu Mingyan to Liu Jieli, the imperial chef.Liu Jieli had no choice but to wrap Yeluming with a blanket and hide it in a pile of firewood to escape the search of the rebels.The next day, Shou'an Wang Yelujing led Yelv Wuzhi and others to quell the Chagao rebellion, and found the frightened child from the pile of firewood.

After Yeluxian was rescued, Yelujing, who became the new emperor of the Liao Kingdom, took pity on him and adopted him in Yongxing Palace.Yelujing had never had a child, so he regarded Yeluxian as his own son, and found some Han and Khitan teachers for him, so that he could study hard.Yeluxian suffered from wind disease due to excessive fright during the mutiny where his parents were killed, so his health has been poor.But he was a smart boy, yearning for and admiring the Central Plains culture very much, so he gathered some well-educated Khitan and Han people around him, and these people later became a strong political foundation for him when he was in power.In the spring and February of the nineteenth year of Yingli (969 A.D.), Mu Zong Yelvjing went hunting in Heishan, Huaizhou as usual.Before leaving, he sent someone to call Yeluxian to him.At this time, Ye Luxian was already a 22-year-old boy.Mu Zong looked at the child standing in front of him and said happily: "My son has grown up, and I can let you participate in political affairs."

Soon, however, Mu Zong was killed by slaves.After Yeluxian heard the news, he immediately led Flying Dragon Maid Li, servant Xiao Siwen, Nanyuan Privy Envoy Gao Xun and other armored horsemen to gallop to Montenegro at starry night, weeping bitterly, Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and others finally persuaded Yelu Xian.They brought up what Mu Zong said before leaving, and asked Ye Luxian to take the throne in front of Mu Zong's coffin, and all the officials supported him with one heart, and he was honored as "Tian Zan Emperor".From then on, Yeluxian became another emperor of the Daliao Empire and changed his Yuan to Baoning.

After Yeluxian ascended the throne, in the name of lax guards, he first killed Mu Zong's most trusted and well-armed palace officials, Yeluyi Lage and Youpi Shixiangwen Xiao Wulizhi, and took the military power to his own. Then, the power of Mu Zong's important minister Yelu Wuzhi was lifted, and the king of Beiyuan was changed to Yuyue.In the Liao Kingdom, Yu Yue was only an honorary official position given to some highly respected people, without real power.He also began to reuse the people who supported him as emperor, appointed Xiao Siwen as the Privy Envoy of the North Court, Gao Xunli as the Privy Councilor of the South Court, Han Kuangsi of the Han Dynasty as the stay in Shangjing, and Ye Luxian as the school inspector Taibao, which further consolidated his throne.

In the core of Yeluxian's regime, the influence of the Han people has grown significantly.Due to the improvement of the status of the Han people, within the ruling group, the contradictions between the Han people and the Khitan people began to rise, especially in the North Court King Xiao Siwen and the South Court King Gao Xun.Although Gao Xun ordered people to kill Xiao Siwen and was killed by Yeluxian, which weakened the power of the Han people, it did not shake Yeluxian's determination to reuse Han people and emulate the Han system.He then appointed Guo Xi, a Han Chinese, as the Privy Envoy of the South Court, and later added a political order.He appointed Shi Fang, a Han Chinese, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and served as Privy Envoy and Prime Minister of Beifu, and he was granted the title of Tongzheng Shimenxia Pingzhangshi.Both of them made important contributions to promoting the economic development of Liao.Ye Luxian adopted the policy of "emphasizing the use of Han officials and imitating the Han Dynasty to rule the country", which made the economy of the Liao Kingdom develop by leaps and bounds on the basis of the Mu Zong Dynasty, and made the Liao Dynasty move towards ZTE.Both the farming land and the population engaged in farming production have increased significantly, and there has been a situation of "hundreds of thousands of registered households and more than a thousand miles of cultivation".

Ye Luxian, Emperor Jingzong of Liao Dynasty, has been in poor health since he was seriously ill since childhood.In the later period of his reign, the military and state affairs were generally ruled by Empress Xiao Yanyan, and Empress Xiao called Khitan and Han officials to discuss and decide before reporting to Jingzong. In May of the third year of Qianheng (979 A.D.), the Han army stationed in Shangjing launched a rebellion and supported Liu Lishou, the grandson of Yelu Lihu.However, because most of the Khitan and Han ministers in the Liao Dynasty were loyal to the queen, the rebellion of these Han troops was finally put down by the left guards in Shangjing, and Liu Lishou was also captured and put to death.

After experiencing this rebellion, Empress Xiao's status was further strengthened, and more of the country's power fell into her hands, leaving Jingzong Yeluxian only to hunt and play.Despite his poor health, he often went out on a tour, haunting deep mountains and wild mountains.In September of the fourth year of Qianheng, he led people to Xianggu Mountain to hunt again, but his body couldn't hold on anymore, so he died in Jiaoshan on the way back to Beijing at the age of 35. ".Buried Qianling.
