When Zhao Zhen was in power, the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to celebrate. The following year, the king of Liao Kingdom also paraded the military horses and claimed that he would be preparing to hunt in Youzhou. The Song court was worried that he would invade and prepared to train troops to defend the border. Zhang Zhibai, the spokesman of the Tongpingzhang, said: "The Song and Liao Dynasty have been repaired for a while, and they probably don't want to start the war easily. Now they claim that hunting is just to test our dynasty. If we send troops to defend the border, we will give him a vindication. It is better to use the excuse of blocking the river and recruiting craftsmen to serve as soldiers. He has no excuse." Zhao Zhen followed the plan, and the Liao soldiers retreated.

Liaodong was in unanimously rebelled because the Liao Kingdom continued to increase taxes. Da Yanlin gathered rebels and killed Han Shaoxun, the envoy of the Ministry of Revenue in Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Pode, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue in Liao Kingdom. He imprisoned Tokyo and imprisoned the remaining people in Tokyo. He attached his horse, Xiao Xiaoxian and his wife, Princess Nanyang, and occupied the city of Tokyo. Da Yanlin established himself as the king, and the country was named Xingliao and Jianyuan Tianqing.

Da Yanlin and Huang Longfu soldiers deployed Huang Pian, and the general commander of the Bohai Army's account manager Xia Xingmei contacted them to seek their support and response. However, the Tokyo deputy left-behind Wang Dao quelled the defection and reported to Yelu Longxu with the messenger sent by Da Yanlin to Huang Longfu, and the plan failed. Xia Xingmei did not kill the commander Yelu Pugu as agreed in advance and responded to the rebel army. Instead, he betrayed Da Yanlin and was tricked by Yelu Pugu and lured and killed 800 soldiers in the Bohai Sea. Therefore, Da Yanlin fell into a passive situation of isolation and helplessness.

The Liao lord Yelu Longxu immediately ordered Xiao Xiaoxian's brother Xiao Xiaomu to lead troops to fight. Da Yanlin and the Liao army were defeated in Puhe and Shoushan, and were forced to retreat to Tokyo City. The Liao army was trapped in the city for half a year, and Da Yanlin's army was disintegrated. Da Yanlin's general Yang Xiangshi rebelled, and Da Yanlin was captured and killed.

In the ninth year of Tiansheng, the Liao lord Yelu Longxu died, and his son Yelu Zongzhen succeeded to the throne and honored Longxu as the Holy Sect. Yelu Zongzhen was born to the palace man Xiao Nojin. After Longxu, Xiao Bodhisattva did not have a son, so he regarded Yelu Zongzhen as his son. Xiao Bodhisattva was the daughter of Xiao Chuo's younger brother Xiao Weiyin, and Yelu Longxu's second queen. When Xiao Bodhisattva was twelve years old, he was selected into the harem for his handsome appearance and talent. On May 15, 19th year of Tonghe, Yelu Longxu conferred Xiao Bodhisattva as the Empress of Qitian.

Xiao Bodhisattva once made a palace style with grass stems and secretly delivered it to relevant departments, ordering Qingfeng, Tianxiang and three halls in the eight directions. After that, Xiao Bodhisattva was even more favored by the Emperor of Liao Shengzong. The car he rode was equipped with dragon heads and trunks, decorated with gold. He also built Jiulong Row and various chariots, using platinum roofs as umbrellas, all with flexible and wonderful ideas. In summer and autumn, we walked between the valleys, and flowers, plants and trees were like brocades. The carriages and clothes shone together, and people thought they were gods.

Xiao Bodhisattva and Yelu Longxu gave birth to two princes, but both died young. On February 23, the fifth year of Kaitai, the palace maid Xiao Nojin gave birth to the prince Yelu Zongzhen. Because Xiao Bodhisattva had no son, he adopted Yelu Zongzhen and raised him as his biological son. Xiao Nojin was very unhappy because Yelu Zongzhen was very respectful to serve Xiao Bodhisattva.

Xiao Nojin secretly ordered the eunuch Zhao Anren to spy on Xiao Pusattva Ge's movements, so he knew her whereabouts. After Xiao Pusattva Ge's power and power increased, Zhao Anren was afraid of disaster and planned to escape back to the Song Dynasty. Xiao Pusattva Ge wanted to kill him, but Xiao Nojin made a statement to rescue him, and Yelu Longxu pardoned Zhao Anren.

Xiao Nojin is a descendant of Shu Luping, the empress of Emperor Taizu of Liao, and the prime minister of the Northern Palace, Agu, was only a fifth-generation granddaughter. Xiao Nojin was born into the descendant clan, and Yelu Longxu married her into the harem.

However, Lu Longxu did not treat her as a concubine, but arranged her to her mother Xiao Chuo's tent as a palace maid.

One day, when she was cleaning the bed for Empress Xiao, she accidentally picked up a golden rooster. At this time, Xiao Chuo made an incomprehensible account, and in a hurry, she swallowed the golden rooster. Unexpectedly, the golden rooster was a magical medicine in the shape of a chicken. A few days later, Xiao Nojin was reborn and became radiant. Empress Xiao said in surprise: "You will definitely give birth to a strange son in the future!" So she ordered Yelu Longxu to have sex with her. In the fifth year of Kaitai, Xiao Nojin really gave birth to a son, named Mu Bugu, which is Yelu Zongzhen.

Soon, Yelu Longxu appointed Xiao Nojin as the Concubine Shunsheng, but she was not satisfied. She was ambitious and arrogant. After framed the Empress Xiao Bossa Ge many times without success, she secretly accepted Luo’s confidants and cultivated power. Before Yelu Longxu died, he warned Xiao Nojin and said, "After I die, don’t resent the Empress. You are the prince’s biological mother, and I will not treat you badly. Although the Empress is respected as the Queen of Qi Tian and the Imperial Concubine, I will break the convention and treat you as the Imperial Concubine of the Dharma Heaven.

When Yelu Longxu was seriously ill, Xiao Nojin immediately insulted Xiao Bossa Ge and said, "Old guy, are you going to enjoy all your blessings?" After Yelu Longxu heard about it, he summoned Yelu Zongzhen and told him: "The queen has served me for forty years. Because she has no son, she regards you as her heir. After I die, you mother and son do not hurt her. This is an important matter! The Song Dynasty believed that as long as you stick to it, he will not be in trouble. In the end, he should be reconciled. The country will be free of worries." Yelu Zongzhen accepted the order only.

Yelu Longxu was dead, and Xiao Nojin called himself the queen mother and participated in state affairs. The people on the left followed Xiao Nojin's will and slandered Xiao Boss' brother's plot against Xiao Boss. Xiao Nojin sent officials to interrogate and implicated Xiao Boss. Yelu Zongzhen said: "How can I not obey the last emperor's will? Besides, she once raised me and was very diligent. Now she does not respect the heavens as the queen mother, but she wants to charge her. How can I make it happen?"

Xiao Nojin said, "If this person is not eliminated, it will be a future trouble." Yelu Zongzhen said, "She has no son and is old, what other pictures can she have?" Xiao Nojin refused to agree, so he actually ordered someone to move Xiao Bodhisattva to Shangjing. Yelu Zongzhen sent an envoy to the Song court to inform the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty sent Zhongcheng Kong Daofu and others to assemble congratulatory envoys and worship the envoys. The north and south were connected, but still as usual.

In the first year of Mingdao, the Liao lord Yelu Zongzhen went to Xuelin to hunt. Xiao Nuojin was worried that Yelu Zongzhen missed the grace of raising her, so he quickly sent someone to Shangjing to harm Xiao Bodhisattva. After the envoy arrived, Xiao Bodhisattva said, "I am indeed innocent, and everyone in the world knows it. Can you wait for me to take a shower and then die?" The envoy retreated. When he came back, Xiao Bodhisattva had already committed suicide by taking poison, and was fifty years old.

More than 100 guards were implicated in this matter and imprisoned in the prison, and more than 40 noble ministers were killed and their family property was lost. After the thorns in their eyes were removed, Xiao Nojin became even more bold and arrogant. The Secretariat ordered Xiao Pu to write a letter to complain to Xiao Bodhisattva and was expelled from the court. Not only did she confer all her younger brothers as kings, but she also made more than 40 slaves become high-ranking officials.

Xiao Nojin's sister, the wife of Qin, lost her father and widowed in her early years, and she couldn't stand loneliness. She often did some stealing activities. Seeing that the King of Changsha was handsome and handsome, Xiao Nojin killed his concubine and married his sister to him. Xiao Nojin's sister, the wife of Jin, took a fancy to Geng Yuanji, a talented envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, and Xiao Nojin killed his wife and forced him to marry his sister. In less than a year, Xiao Nojin almost defeated Empress Xiao and Yelu Longxu.

All reform measures were abandoned.

Xiao Nojin's desire for power expanded, and even put Yelu Zongzhen's every move under his control, which made the mother-son relationship very tense. Xiao Nojin was worried that after Zongzhen took power, his power would be deprived, so he conspired with Xiao Xiaoxian's brothers to abolish Zongzhen and establish his younger son Yelu Chongyuan.

Yelu Chongyuan informed the emperor's brother of his mother's plan. Yelu Zongzhen was unwilling to be deposed, so he secretly planned to take the initiative to regain power. In May of the third year of Chongxi, Xiao Nojin and Zongzhen went to the palace to cool off, and Xiao Nojin's confidants were all in Zhongjing. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zongzhen found that Xiao Xiaoxian was found to detain Xiao Xiaoxian and forced him to confess to the destruction and establishment of the conspiracy. Then he surrounded the palace with his personal soldiers. Yelu Xisun led people to Xiao Nojin's tent, killed dozens of eunuchs around her, took her to Qingzhou in a prison cart, and put her in house arrest the next day. Yelu Zongzhen appointed Yelu Chongyuan as the crown prince, began to rule and reconcile with Song as before.

Zhao Deming, the ruler of the Western Xia Kingdom, served the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and was still obedient. The chief of the Six Valleys Balaji was killed by a foreigner. The tribes supported Balaji's divine Sibang as the leader, and the Song court continued to grant him the title of Shuofang Jiedu. However, the majority of the people were unpopular, and the subordinates quickly scattered and most of them were defeated by the Tubo tribe.

Tubo was originally a powerful country in the Western Regions. During the Tang Dynasty, the Uighur Kingdom often invaded the borders. Later, the two countries attacked each other and declined together. In the early Song Dynasty, the two chiefs successively paid tribute. When Zhao Heng was alive, the chief of the Tubo tribe, Yasiluo, submitted a letter to the Song court and requested the attack on the Western Xia. The Song court believed that the Xia lord Deming was still respectful and did not allow Tubo to invade.

Ye Siluo was furious and intended to invade Guanzhong. When the prefect of Qinzhou Cao Wei learned about it, he hurriedly asked for troops to prevent it. As expected, Ye Siluo attacked Fuqiang Village and was ambushed by Cao Wei. The Tubo army was defeated and returned. Ye Siluo knew that he was in poverty, so he not only regretted it, but also asked to surrender. The Song Dynasty appointed Ye Siluo as the General of Ningyuan and the envoy of the Aizhou Tuanzheng.

Besides, Li Deming, the king of the Western Xia Kingdom, had a son, Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao, who could not understand his father's policy of harmony with the Song Dynasty. Once, Li Deming sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty and exchanged horses for items. Because the things obtained were not suitable for their wishes, Li Deming was furious and beheaded the envoy. Li Yuanhao was very dissatisfied with his father's actions and said to his father: "We are engaged in military affairs, and it is no longer the best way to exchange for goods without urgent need. Now that the envoy is killed, who will be willing to be used by us in the future?" Li Deming saw that his only son, who was only over ten years old, had this kind of insight, so he valued it very much.

Li Yuanhao has a round face, bright eyes, a raised nose, and a bit inviolable expression. He has a medium figure, but he looks burly and majestic, and is very heroic. He usually likes to wear white long-sleeved clothes, black crown and bows and arrows. He often takes more than a hundred cavalry to travel, ride on horseback, two flag bearers in front of him, and behind him are guards and infantrymen, accompanying him in a green umbrella, and showing off his power.

When Li Yuanhao was young, he read military books. He was even more unwilling to put aside the volumes of "Song of the Field War" and "Taiyi Golden Mirror". He was very talented in literature, proficient in Chinese, and Tibetan language and writing. He was especially devoted to legal works that govern the country and ensure stability, and was good at thinking and planning, and often had unique insights. These made Li Yuanhao become a talent with strategy in literature and martial arts.
