Chapter 98 Mutiny
An error occurred while processing s private file
In October, Yanjing is cold and bloody.
The emperor returned from hunting and arrived at Juyongguan. The commander of the southwest road Yelu Chentunu came to pick him up. That night, he sang and danced, and the emperor and his ministers were drunk. When he woke up, he suddenly found that his tent was surrounded.
Yelu Chen Tunu and several ministers reported that the army mutiny and demanded that the emperor abdicate.
The emperor agreed, but abdicating was very troublesome. First, the crown prince must be established. Only when the crown prince is settled can he abdicate.
It is also troublesome to choose a crown prince. It is related to the fate of the country. The emperor cannot make the decision alone and must summon the prime ministers to discuss it together. This discussion will be troublesome, and the mutiny of the army will be exposed immediately. Therefore, Yelu Chen Tunu disagreed and forced the emperor to issue an order immediately to abdicate to the emperor's second son, King Jin.
The emperor delayed time for various reasons. After only three days, the King of the North Court, Yelu Mage, and Xiao Xiamai, the official of the Zhixi Palace, brought the army to kill him.
Yelu Chen Tunu was caught off guard, and his subordinates were even more frightened and surrendered one after another. A mutiny ended in a hurry.
The emperor personally interrogated Yelu Chen Tunu and wanted to capture all the rebellions.* Only then did Yelu Chen Tunu realize that this long-planned mutiny had actually been leaked. The emperor transferred Yelu Ma Ge back to Yanjing to allow him to deploy troops secretly to serve the king and protect the rebels.
Yelu Chen Tunu confessed more than 20 ministers in one breath, as well as detailed mutiny plans, including palace tents, harems and commanding generals from various places, but there were no Yan King Yelu Chun and the prime ministers of the north and south prefectures. In other words, Yelu Chen Tunu deliberately concealed the most important person. After the mutiny failed, he immediately implemented emergency measures and continued to threaten the emperor.
According to the scale of this mutiny, the emperor was in a dilemma. If he wanted to stabilize the palace tent and ensure the safety of the country, the wisest way was to abdicate. However, the emperor was unwilling to do so, so he issued an order to quickly dispatch troops from Zhongjing Road, Nanjing Road, and Xijing Road to protect the king. He wanted to kill all the rebels in the palace tent.
Yelu Mage was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded.
Although the rebel Li Hu fought with the Jurchens, and Zhongjing and Shangjing were temporarily worried, the rebellion of the Bu people in the north became more and more intense, and the encirclement and suppression of the Liao army was wiped out. The recruitment of Yelu Oliduo and the governor Xiao Xielide were both killed in battle. The situation was extremely critical. At this moment, not only should we ensure the stability of the palace tent, but we should also try our best to mobilize troops to the north to quell the rebellion of the Bu people. Therefore, Yelu Ma Ge suggested that this matter ended here and not be investigated again, so as not to be out of control.
The emperor couldn't listen at all. My throne could not be saved, and my head was in danger. In this case, of course, we must first kill the rebels. Otherwise, how can the palace tent be stable?
This is the truth. This mutiny is very involved. The emperor either obeys the ministers' opinions and abdicates immediately, or wants to bet with the ministers once. The bet is the destiny of the Great Liao Kingdom. Whoever can hold on to the end will be the winner.
The emperor used the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom to gamble. It hit the key point of the ministers. Why did the ministers dare to do usurpation? To put it noblely, it was to want to protect the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom, and to put it ugly, it was to fight for power and profit. Now the brave ones encountered a desperate person. The emperor gritted his teeth and wanted to fight to the end. The ministers were really stunned, but the ministers could not admit defeat. Once they gave up, their heads were gone. So both sides took it and no one was willing to give in.\
However, it is obvious that because Yelu Chen Tunu failed to host the emperor, a group of ministers in Yanjing were extremely passive. If soldiers from all over the country came one after another, the final winner of the bet would definitely be the emperor.
However, the development of the situation is completely different from the emperor's expectations.
The commanders of the army in various places rushed to report to the emperor and refused to serve the king for various reasons. The commander of the northwest route said that the people who were rushing to the vassals were coming and I could not return to the rescue. The commander of the northeast route Yelu Yuji said that the Jurchens were dispatched to the border of Shangjing Road, and the situation was critical and there was no military force to be adjusted. The commander of the east route Xiao Gan said that the Jurchens' army and the army of the rebel Li Hu were eyeing Xingzhong Prefecture. If I dispatch troops to return to the rescue, what should I do if the Zhongjing Road is safe?
The commander of the Southwest Road is in Yanjing, and he participated in the mutiny.
Only Yelu Dashi, the governor of the Liaoxing Army on Pingzhou Road, was left. He did not obey the imperial edict. He submitted a petition to the emperor, saying that there was an agreement that if the thief Li Hu led his army to attack Tokyo, the Liao Dynasty would allocate money, grain and weapons to help. But so far, the Liao Dynasty has not fulfilled its promise. The thief Li Hu was furious about this and sent people to urge him several times. If I return to Yanjing at this moment, how can the safety of Pingzhou Road be guaranteed? If the rebels suddenly entered Pingzhou Road, how can the Liaoxing Army resist when the troops were insufficient?
The emperor was furious.
There was a rebellion from the northwest road that blocked the Bu people, which was understandable. It was also understandable that Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road were to guard against the Jurchens and the rebel Li Hu. In this way, the emperor had to rely on Yelu Dashi, the governor of the Liaoxing Army, and he was also disobedient. In a fit of anger, the emperor appointed Yelu Dashi as the recruitment envoy of the northwest road, and asked him to quell the rebellion from the southwest road that blocked the rebellion from the Liaoxing Army. He immediately led the main force of the Liaoxing Army to serve the king and protect the emperor. The person who received him was Zhang Jue, the deputy governor of the Liaoxing Army. Luo Qinghan was too lazy to talk to him and asked to meet Yelu Dashi. Zhang Jue seemed in a bad mood and found a reason to make excuses. Luo Qinghan was furious and threatened with evil words, "If I can't get the food and grass weapons today, I will lead the army to attack tomorrow."
This sentence worked. Zhang Jue's scalp was numb and he sat there for a long time without saying anything. A sudden change in the palace tent, Yelu Dashi was transferred away again, and Yelu Foding transferred the main force of the Liaoxing Army. If he angered Luo Qinghan at this moment, the rebels would really come from Yuguan, and the consequences would be unimaginable. = If the road in Pingzhou is lost, his head will definitely not be able to be saved, so he thought for a long time and decided to bribe Luo Qinghan.
Zhang Jue was born as a Jinshi, so how could he respect Luo Qinghan? In his eyes, Li Hu and Luo Qinghan are all greedy and shameless people. They are just villains, and they can be paid by just a few dollars.
Luo Qinghan looked at the gold, silver and jewelry on the table, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with the Liao army. The palace tent mutiny mentioned by Longzhu Daxian might have broken out.
Luo Qinghan sneered, "Is this what you mean, or what the wise man means?"
"Your Majesty is now in Xijing, and it takes time to travel back and forth." Zhang Jue smiled, "Please don't worry, wait patiently. Since Your Majesty has promised, of course he will give you money, food and weapons."
"I want to see the envoy." Luo Qinghan was very determined, "I must get money, food and weapons today, otherwise we will see you again in front of the formation."
Zhang Jue was about to speak, but Luo Qinghan interrupted him angrily, "If I launch an attack tomorrow, will you take this responsibility? I will call Yelu Dashi, I don't have the patience to wait."
Zhang Jue thought for a moment, got up and left the tent. He discussed with several officials in the mansion for a long time, but no one could think of any good idea.
Before Yelu Dashi left, he repeatedly told him to be careful. Li Hu was cunning. His target was Youyan, not Tokyo, but the emperor and the palace tent were busy with internal strife and had no time to consider the situation. He repeatedly drew troops from the Liaoxing Army, which made the Yuguan defense line extremely dangerous. Dashi told Zhang Jue to try every means to stabilize Luo Qinghan and not let him see any flaws, otherwise the rebels would most likely go south to attack. At a loss, someone spoke, "Deputy Envoy, are we giving too few bribes?"
"Money can make the devil push the mill. In this world, as long as you have money, you can't buy anything?" Someone immediately agreed.
Zhang Jue gritted his teeth and felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do at this moment. He had to keep Luo Qinghan steady even if he lost all his money.
This time, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk, silk, silk... three boxes. Luo Qinghan was really moved, smiling all over his face, and his tone of speaking changed immediately. "Secretary envoy, give me a letter of confidence. When will Your Majesty give me money and food? You know, I have no choice. Our general commander followed behind and urged me. I'm having a hard time."
"Well, this..." Zhang Jue hummed for a long time, unable to say anything, "I will tell you right away when His Majesty's imperial edict arrives."
"When will Your Majesty's imperial edict arrive?" Luo Qinghan chased after him.
"Your Majesty is in Xijing. The journey is long and the weather is not good. Once it snows, it will be difficult for Yima to walk, so time will definitely be delayed..."
"I can only give you three days." Luo Qinghan smiled, "I will come again in three days, if..." He dragged his tone and stared at Zhang Jue with his eyes, saying that he was threatening.
Zhang Jue was angry and wanted to slash Luo Qinghan with one knife. It was a great humiliation. A deputy envoy of the Great Liao Kingdom was threatened by a thief. He immediately thought of the stupid emperor and the shameless palace tent. Thinking of the precarious situation in front of him, he was immediately depressed and desperate. Various complex emotions mixed together, which made the smile on his face very ugly.
Luo Qinghan was very excited. He could conclude that something was wrong with the Liao army, otherwise Zhang Jue would not have been abnormal and swallowed his anger, and Yelu Dashi would not have avoided him.
