Chapter 299 Chapter 298 Liang Wang Yelu Yali

In the last years of the Liao Dynasty, the disintegration of the ruling group intensified.Not long after the fall of Yeluchun's Northern Liao Dynasty, another short-lived court appeared on the political stage, competing against Emperor Tianzuo.The first emperor of this small court was the second son of Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yali who was originally named King of Liang. Yelu Yali was born in the tenth year of Da'an (AD 1094), Daozong of Liao Dynasty, and his style name was Saluan. At the age of 7, he won the title of King of Liang.After King Ao Luwo of Jin was murdered, Yali became the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo.In April of the third year of Baoda (1123 A.D.), when Jin soldiers surrounded Qingzhong Village and almost wiped out all the princes and princesses of Emperor Tianzuo, only Yali escaped under the protection of Taibao Temu.In May of the third year of Baoda, when Emperor Tianzuo wanted to take refuge in Xixia at the invitation of Li Ganshun, the king of Xixia, he took Yali to the north overnight and ran to Shaling (now Xuanhuaxi, Hebei). Three days later, a simple ceremony was held to establish Yali as emperor and change Yuanshen calendar.

At the beginning of Yali's accession to the throne, he first changed the tyrannical and murderous practice of Emperor Tianzuo, and tried his best to be lenient and win people's hearts.He is also very concerned about the suffering of the people who follow him, and when he sees his subordinates in a little difficulty, he rewards them with money.Yali's lenient policy did have some effect. The Jiedu envoys of the Wugu tribe and the commanding army of the Dielie tribe led their crowds back one after another, and the Shaling small court showed a prosperous scene for a while. However, the good times did not last long, and crises followed.Jarry became more and more restless in the internal and external difficulties, so he frantically sought spiritual relief through hunting.In October of that year, Yali was hunting in Chala Mountain. He shot and killed 40 gazelles and 21 wolves in one day. As a result, he suddenly fell ill and died on the spot. He was only 30 years old and had only been in office for 5 months.
