Chapter 112 A Baoji Consolidates Power

Yelu Abaoji not only wanted to be promoted to become the top leader, but his actual power was unwilling to give up half of his power accordingly. When Abaoji was appointed Yu Yue, he was very happy to catch up with military and political power. When he became a Khan, he generously gave up Yu Yue's position to his cousin Shilijidi, who cooperated with his acting, and Dayi Lijin's position to his son Shili Diet. After a few days, his father and son were overjoyed to find that these two once important positions had become insignificant.

Yu Yue, known as the "General Military and National Affairs", was originally invented by Abaoji's uncle Shili Shilu, who completely eliminated the use of Khan of the Yaonian family. As for Abaoji's Khan, this position was stripped of power. Dayilijin originally had two important powers, one was equivalent to the command of the Khitan alliance, and the other was the chief of the Diessat. Now the main force of the Khitan was brought out by Abaoji. If others did not get Abaoji's approval, it would be difficult to transfer it, so Dayilijin's first power was lost. As for Dayilijin's second power, Abaoji set up a new position called "Tiyin" to manage the internal affairs of the Diessat Shili family. This position was held by his younger brother Shili, and thus was also undermined.

It is reasonable to say that the dissatisfaction of the father and son in the world is not the one who is most dissatisfied with Abaoji, but Abaoji's own younger brothers. The reason is that Abaoji is so happy that he made his brothers jealous. Although the Khan of the Khitan was elected, the Khan family has the greatest chance of being elected. In other words, as long as it is an election, they are the ones who are most likely to be elected.

Abaoji's father, Shilisala, had six sons, namely: the eldest was Abaoji, the current Khan of the Khitan; the second was the current Khigentiyin, and the son of Dayili Jindierit, who was responsible for the extermination of his cousin. He led the people to destroy the Nireite tribe and Kepingzhou. His talents and military achievements were second only to the eldest among the brothers.

Lao Sandita is smart and smart, and is a genius of language. He once created a record of learning Uighur language within twenty days. Later, he was ordered to create the second set of Khitan characters: Khitan small characters. Lao Si Shi, the fourth Yin Dashi, and his abilities are relatively mediocre. Lao Wu Anrui has certain military talents and has made contributions to the expedition many times. It is particularly worth mentioning that he has a wife named Nian Mugu.

The sixth generation, Lisu, is different from the five previous brothers. The identity of the concubine's son makes him have no indecent thoughts about the Khan throne, so he is the most loyal to the eldest brother. Except for the sixth generation, the other brothers all thought that the eldest brother would treat the Khan like the Dayi Lijin of the past and let the brothers take turns to serve. Everyone is waiting for the expiration of Abaoji's term of office in a beautiful hope.

After the reign of Kaiping, Abaoji Khan's term was over. However, Abaoji did not hold an election and continued to serve as Khan. He even saved the act of doing things! The eldest brother broke the rules so badly and ate alone and did not leave any hope for his brothers. Is it tolerant?

Because they all felt that their legal power was brutally trampled on, A Baoji's four younger brothers, an uncle, and a cousin formed an alliance. They were ready to fight A Baoji to the end in order to defend the ancient Khitan system!

The first contest between these people and Abaoji occurred in the first year of Qianhua in Houliang, the fifth year when Abaoji became the Khan, that is, the year when the Baixiang War broke out in Liangjin. As the top old fox at that time, the first time, the first time that the battle of Baixiang was in the middle of the year.

Of course, A Baoji knew that his own monopoly of power, deliberately destroying the Khitan tradition, and establishing the Khan's lifelong hereditary system would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many Khitan nobles.

In order to deal with these potential enemies, Abaoji needs to continue to expand and acquire new wealth, territory and population. There are two major benefits to doing this. One is to show the Khitan people the benefits of taking the lead: Follow me and have meat to eat! Are you willing to find someone who is inferior to me to lead you? Second, you can use this to gradually increase some foreigners who obey your orders and join the ruling class, and slowly dilute the power of those disobedient Khitan nobles.

During the Battle of Baixiang, A Baoji sent troops again, and this time his target was the Xi people. Liu Shouguang was short-sighted and did not give the Xi people strong support in time. With A Baoji's force and inducement, he completely conquered the five Xi people and incorporated them into the Khitan territory. As a nation, the Xi people disappeared from history since then.

After taking down the Xi people, A Baoji immediately led the Khitan cavalry and attacked Liu Shouguang's territory and fought to the Luan River. Because the Yan army was defending the city and did not engage in field battles with the Khitan army, A Baoji failed to take down any strong city. So after he robbed the army, he successfully formed a battle and carved stones to record his merits, which was considered to avenge the revenge of his brother-in-law being kidnapped by Liu Shouguang. He did not forget to send envoys to Bianliang to meet Zhu Wen and repay his merits to the Khitan superiors.

Seeing his elder brother A Baoji so busy, he just kept silent about the election, and his younger brothers, except Lao Liu, felt very uncomfortable. Could it be that he would keep looking for things to do like he did two years ago and make excuses that he had no time to fool such major events as the election?

The brothers thought: It depends on ourselves to create our happiness! So they secretly discussed a plan: to jointly launch a mutiny, force Abaoji to give way, and choose a new Khan from among us. After the plan was planned, everyone felt that winter had arrived and the future was bright!

When the fifth generation of the old man, Rian Duan returned home, he couldn't help but tell his wife, "Brother is about to get out, your husband may be a Khan!" The good news told his wife, Nian Mugu. Nian Mugu's awareness is not as high as her husband. In her opinion, even if you overthrow the eldest, the chance of being a Khan is at most in the second. If the third child chooses, how can it be your fifth brother? Now the eldest brother treats you very well. If the second brother is replaced, the third brother will be the leader. Is your treatment better than now? What's more, you may not be able to succeed? Is the eldest brother easy to deal with? So far, no Khitan buddies who are against A Baoji have a good end yet!

Seeing that his wife could not understand her, Shiri'an cursed "long hair and short knowledge", and sulked alone. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what her husband did was unreliable, so he quietly went to A Baoji to inform him. So, the first premeditated rebellion of several younger brothers was facing premature death before they even began.

A Baoji was also surprised to hear the story of Nian Mugu. He thought that no one who was most likely to oppose him did not take action, but these younger brothers wanted to step down first! A Baoji has attached great importance to brotherhood among the emperors of all generations. In addition to being unable to challenge his status, he gave several younger brothers as much wealth and power as possible.

What should I do now that this happened? Kill them? If you don’t say that A Baoji really couldn’t bear it, even if he could tolerate it, he would have to bear it.

The heart could not find a crime that could convince everyone. The banner raised by the younger brothers was to maintain tradition, that is, it was Abaoji who broke the rules, not his younger brothers. This is the Khitan, not the Central Plains. Although Abaoji hated these rules in his bones, he could only change them subtly and did not dare to publicly deviate from them for the time being.

A Baoji hesitated and decided to take peaceful means to resolve the dispute. A Baoji quickly took action and monitored several younger brothers. Then, A Baoji summoned them together and said that he wanted to go up the mountain to worship the sky. Several guilty younger brothers followed the elder brother to the mountain in fear. Today's actions were too abnormal. Has the plan been leaked? The elder brother shouldn't start a murder!

Fortunately, the eldest brother was not here to kill people today, but to teach them. A Baoji talked to his younger brothers, starting with his grandfather Yun Deshi being killed. The family escaped, how much shock did he bear outside? How much fear did he suffer? He went through hardships before he was lucky to kill him. Have you forgotten those hard days? If our brothers were not united, would you still want to repeat the same mistake?

The brothers were moved and Abaoji guided everyone again: Did you forget? How did I take you to share the joys and sorrows and hardships, squeeze out the competitors, and conquering the great situation today. Today, the Khitan is stronger than ever, and its family is more prominent than ever! When did you have so much land, livestock, money, and beauty? As long as the elder brother is still a Khan, our brothers will have more in the future! If it were you, think about it, can you deal with those people from the Yaonian family and other tribes? Those people's eyes have long been red in the status of our family, waiting for us to have flaws so that we can replace them!

A Baoji's long talk made all the brothers feel ashamed. Maybe he was convinced, maybe he felt that the hero was not suffering the loss in front of him. All the younger brothers were convinced and cried and apologized, indicating that they must have reflected deeply and repentance! Please forgive us for not caring about the villain's life. The first struggle of the Khitan nobles to maintain tradition was not enough, but they gave up halfway.

The younger brothers were temporarily calmed down, but the problem was not really solved. The traditional concept of "the boss takes turns to do it, and I will come to my house next year" is still in the hearts of most Khitans. Some Khitan nobles watched Abaoji alone and called out the wind and rain, and the red eye disease he suffered from has not been cured. All this means that Abaoji still has a long way to go if he wants to establish a monarchy headed by himself in the Khitan.

Of course, some of the things A Baoji did show that he did not fully forgive his brothers. After A Baoji became the Khan, he set up a new official position "Tiyin" to let the second son Li Shige take over the cousin he did not trust. Dayi Li Jin was Shili Diet. Now it seems that the second son is not reliable! So A Baoji made contributions when Shili Kagu was conquering the Jurchens and Wei tribes, and promoted the second son to the second son, and was a Dayi Li Jin who had no real power.

The post of Ti Yin was replaced by his brothers, and the son of Shili Hua Ge, the third uncle Shi Lu. A Baoji also named Jian Mugu as the wife of Jin State to commend her for her informing. A large number of nobles suffering from red-eye disease, looked at A Baoji's series of personnel adjustments, and the condition of red-eye became even worse.
