Chapter 231 Liu Zhiyuan proclaimed emperor in Taiyuan

When Shi Chonggui made a grudge with the Liao Kingdom, Liu Zhiyuan knew that Shi Chonggui would be in danger, but he rarely advised him. The Liao Kingdom repeatedly invaded, but Liu Zhiyuan did not stop him at all and entered the aid. When he heard that the Liao Kingdom had occupied the capital, Liu Zhiyuan divided his troops to protect the four borders and guarded the invasion.

Liu Zhiyuan sent his guest general Wang Jun to the capital and presented three letters to Yelu Deguang: First, congratulations to the Liao Kingdom on entering the capital Bianliang; second, it was said that Taiyuan was a place where the Xia people lived and guarded the place where the garrison was gathered, so they did not dare to leave the town to congratulate; third, they should have offered tributes, but when the Liao general Liu Jiuyi's army entered Nanchuan from the west of Tumen, the people in Taiyuan were worried and afraid. After the Liao Kingdom recalled this army, the road could be smooth before the tribute could be sent.

After seeing the seal, Yelu Deguang liked it very much. He immediately asked someone to write an edict to praise and commend it. When Yelu Deguang personally approved the edict, he added the word "er" to Liu Zhiyuan's name to show his closeness. He took out a branch of Muguai as a gift. He ordered Wang Jun to hold the edict and Muguai and go back to Taiyuan to meet Liu Zhiyuan. Wang Jun led Muguai westward, and the Liao soldiers saw him from afar and gave way. It can be seen that this Muguai represents a very noble status. According to the tradition of the Hu people, only ministers who received special courtesy can be given Muguai. Only King Wei received such rewards because he was his uncle's noble status.

Wang Jun returned to Hedong and returned to Liu Zhiyuan. He submitted the imperial edict of the Liao lord and the wooden crutches he gave. Liu Zhiyuan only looked at it briefly and saw that there was nothing rare inside, so he asked about the situation in the capital. Wang Jun replied: "The Liao lord is very greedy and rebellious, and he will definitely not be able to occupy the Central Plains for a long time. If the king raises his troops to promote righteousness and revive his strength, he will definitely respond in the country. Even if the Liao lord wants to stay in the Central Plains for a long time, it is impossible!"

So many generals persuaded Liu Zhiyuan to raise the flag to oppose the Liao Kingdom. Liu Zhiyuan said: "I handed over three stamps, which were originally just a matter of delaying the army, not willing to surrender to the barbarians. However, the use of troops was slow and urgent, and appropriate strategies should be adopted according to the times. The Liao Kingdom had just surrendered 100,000 troops from Jin Kingdom, and dominated the capital like a tiger. The situation did not change any other changes, so how could it be rash! Besides, what they were greedy for was nothing more than money and goods. If they had enough money and goods, they must return to the north. Moreover, the ice and snow have disappeared and the climate has warmed up, so they will definitely find it difficult to stay for a long time. They should wait until they retreat and then occupy there to ensure that there is no accident."

Liu Zhiyuan held his troops and waited for the movements of Bianliang before proceeding. The Liao lord Yelu Deguang did not receive Liu Zhiyuan's thanks, so he naturally suspected that Liu Zhiyuan had two intentions, so he sent someone to urge Liu Zhiyuan to pay tribute. After repeated urging by the envoy, Liu Zhiyuan sent his deputy left-behind Bai Wenke to present rare silk fabrics and precious horses.

Yelu Deguang understood that Liu Zhiyuan was watching. When Bai Wenke returned to Taiyuan, Yelu Deguang asked him to tell Liu Zhiyuan: "You neither serve the Southern Dynasties nor the Northern Dynasties. What does it mean?" Bai Wenke reluctantly explained. Guo Wei, the official of the Confucian master of the Han Dynasty, said to Liu Zhiyuan: "The Hulu is very resentful to us! Wang Jun also said that the Liao people have greedy and cruelty, and have lost their hearts, and they must not occupy the Central Plains for a long time." Liu Zhiyuan said: "Let's find out the truth for now, and it's not too late to consider reviving."

At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan received a letter from Zhang Cong'en, the governor of Zhaoyi. Because Zhang Cong'en's jurisdiction was close to Huai and Luo Prefectures, he wanted to go to the visit of Yelu Deguang, so

The envoy was sent to discuss with Liu Zhiyuan first. Liu Zhiyuan said: "How dare we fight against the huge world in a corner! You can take one step first, and I will go later." Zhang Cong'en believed it was true, so he was about to leave. The judge Gao Fang advised: "As a royal relative of the Jin Dynasty, you must not easily change your integrity as a minister." Zhang Cong'en refused to listen.

The General of the Zuo Xiaogu, Wang Shouen and Zhang Cong'en, were relatives. At that time, in Shangdang, Zhang Cong'en ordered the Deputy Governor Zhao Xingqian to take charge of the affairs of the post-rest. He also sent official documents to send Wang Shouen as an inspector, and jointly assisted Zhao Xingqian with Gao Fang. The Jiedushi Gao Conghui of Jingnan sent envoys to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to give him horses. Gao Conghui also sent envoys to Hedong to persuade Liu Zhiyuan to ascend the throne.

Yelu Deguang entered Daliang for several months. One day, he summoned all the civil and military officials of the Later Jin Dynasty to the court and asked them: "My land is vast and vast, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and there are twenty-seven kings. The customs of the Central Plains are different from those of our country. I want to choose one person as the king of the Central Plains. What do you think?" All the officials said: "There are no two suns in the sky. No matter the Yi tribe or the hearts of the Chinese people, they are willing to support you as the emperor." Yelu Deguang pretended to refuse, and everyone understood the meaning and persuaded them twice in a row.

Yelu Deguang then said, "Since you are willing to let me be the emperor, what is the first thing to do?" The officials replied, "The emperor just got the world and should forgive sinners." On the first day of the second month, Yelu Deguang wore a crown of the sky and a crimson robe. He ascended the end of the palace in the main hall of the palace. The court set up a grand ceremony musical instrument and a guard guard guard under the court. All officials came to pay their respects, and the Han people were all wearing dresses, while the Hu people were still wearing Hu clothes, standing between the Han people and the Chinese people and the Chinese people. Yelu Deguang sent an order, saying that the Great Liao Dynasty had been united in ten years and would be granted a general amnesty for the world. He also said, "From now on, the governor and the governor are not allowed to set up personal guards, and they are not allowed to buy war horses."

Zhao Yanshou, who was accomplice of the tiger, felt very upset after he went home from the court. He originally promised by the Liao Lord Yelu Deguang in person that after obtaining the Central Plains, he made him the emperor. At this time, it suddenly changed and there was no way to be honored. A hope turned into a bubble. Of course, he was extremely depressed and thought about it and came up with a plan. The next day, he met the Liao Lord and begged Yelu Deguang to make him the crown prince.

Yelu Deguang was furious and said, "You are too wrong! The emperor's son can be the crown prince, how can others be established?" Zhao Yanshou was shocked and kowtowed several times, like a mute eating coptis chinensis, with an indescribable difficulty. Yelu Deguang said slowly again, "I have already made you the King of Yan, are you still not satisfied? I should be promoted to you in an extra time." Zhao Yanshou was not very good at talking, so he had to thank him.

Yelu Deguang then summoned Zhang Li, a scholar, and ordered Zhao Yanshou to be promoted to the position of Zhao Yanshou. At that time, Hengzhou was the Central Jing of Liao, and Zhang Li wrote to Zhao Yanshou as the left-behind of Zhongjing. The prime minister was the chief minister and recorded the minister's affairs as the chief military commander of the Chinese and foreign countries. He also served as the Privy Councilor. When Yelu Deguang saw the memorial, he wrote to him and wrote the two words to him. He only got the eight characters of the left-behind and Privy Councilor of Zhongjing and was awarded to Zhao Yanshou. Zhao Yanshou did not dare to disobey, but he was even more resentful to Liao lords and became more angry.

Soon, Li Jixun of Later Shu and Liu Jing, the governor of Xingzhou, jointly attacked and captured Guzhen. He Chongjian also asked Hou Shu to send troops and ranks to Cheng and the two states to jointly guard the Sanguan in order to capture Fengzhou. The Later Shu Lord immediately ordered to send 3,700 soldiers from Shannan to rush to Sanguan.

When Liu Zhiyuan heard that He Chongjian surrendered to Houshu, he sighed: "The Rong Di invaded and ravaged, and there was no monarch in the Central Plains.

As a leader, I feel so ashamed!” Suddenly, I received the Liao edict from Daliang, which said that it was the tenth year of the Great Liao Dynasty's cooperation and the world was amnesty.

Liu Zhiyuan was shocked and said, "The Liao lord issued a formal official and announced the pardon. Do you really want to be the emperor of the Central Plains?" The marching Sima Zhang Yanwei persuaded: "There is no lord in the Central Plains now, and there is only the prestige of the king. The king should take the opportunity to ascend to the throne and call on all sides to expel the barbarians together." Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is inconvenient. I am a Jin minister, how can I bear the lord's reputation! Moreover, if the lord can intercept him halfway, welcome him into Taiyuan, and then seek recovery. In this way, we will be justified and easy to succeed." He ordered the dispatch of troops and prepared to set out from Danxingkou to welcome the Jin master.

Liu Zhiyuan ordered the commander of Wu Jie to gather the troops to attend the scene and announce the date of the troops. The soldiers all said: "The Liao army captured the capital and captured the emperor. There is no monarch in the world. Who else can be qualified to be the monarch in the world besides our King of Beiping? We should first determine the emperor's name and then send troops." So the soldiers fought and shouted "Long live". Liu Zhiyuan said: "The barbarians' troops are still strong, but our military power is still weak. We should make achievements first. How can soldiers know these things!" He ordered the left and right generals to stop the noise of the soldiers.

The marching Sima Zhang Yanwei and others wrote letters three times to persuade Liu Zhiyuan to ascend the throne. Liu Zhiyuan hesitated. Guo Wei and Yang Bin discussed with the Duangya Yang Bin. Yang Bin said, "The hearts of people from far and near coincide, this is God's will! If you don't take advantage of this time to win the world and be humble, you are afraid that the hearts of people will be transferred, and if they are transferred, you will suffer."

Guo Wei continued, "What Yang Aiya said is very true, I hope Wang Da will not hesitate anymore!" Liu Zhiyuan said, "I can't bear to forget Jin, so I will make the throne temporarily, and I should not change the country's name immediately and promulgate the new year." Guo Wei said, "What's wrong with this!" Liu Zhiyuan decided to praise the emperor and chose the day of Xinwei of the second month to ascend the throne.

On this day, Liu Zhiyuan was in Jinyang Palace, and was dressed in a robbery. He went to the hall to accept congratulations from all officials. Generals and officials said long live. Then, Liu Zhiyuan passed on the system and still called the Jin Dynasty. He only omitted the Kaiyun year and called the 12th year of Tianfu. Li Cheng returned to the palace and sent a message to all the bans on all the ways that they would borrow money and silk for Liao Kuo. He also sent troops to welcome the former master in the sun, and ordered the soldiers to deploy neatly and start the journey.

The Liao Kingdom sent his general Liu Yuan as the deputy envoy of Baoyi Jiedu. The people of Shaanxi City suffered from his tyranny. Wang Yan, the head of Fengguo, Zhao Hui and Hou Zhang, the commander of the capital, conspired to say, "The barbarians disturbed China. This is the era when our generation is working hard. Liu Gong in Hedong is highly respected and famous. If we kill Liu Yuan and lead Shaanxi City to join him, and use this as the first initiative in the world, then it will be easy to gain wealth and honor." Zhao Hui and others thought it was right. Wang Yan and several heroes climbed up to Yacheng and sneaked into the treasury at night, took out the weapons and distributed them to everyone. In the morning of Gengwu, they cut off Liu Yuan's head, hung it on the door of the mansion, killed the army supervisor, and supported Zhao Hui as the queen.

After Shi Chonggui arrived outside the Great Wall, the Liao Kingdom no longer provided food. The officials and palace maids followed him all went to pick wild fruits and grass leaves from the trees to satisfy their hunger. When they arrived in Jinzhou, the Liao Kingdom ordered Shi Chonggui and his concubines to bow to the tomb of Abaoji, the Liao Kingdom. Shi Chonggui could not bear this humiliation and cried and said, "Xue Chao harmed me!" Empress Feng quietly ordered his followers to find poison, intending to commit suicide with Shi Chonggui, but it failed.
