"No, don't ask them to come over. I'm going to see them." Zhao Heng stopped the waiter.

"Do you deliver books every day?" Zhao Heng asked the waiter beside him on the way.

"Officials, I have sent them all as ordered. I will send them after copying them every day." The chamberlain returned carefully.

"Oh?" Zhao Heng nodded, "Then how did they react?"

"This?" The chamberlain hesitated again and again, then gritted his teeth and said, "They also said that there is something wrong with Taizu's ancestral precepts. In times of disaster, people can be recruited as soldiers, but once they become soldiers, they can only serve as soldiers. This method is not beneficial to the country."

"Moreover, raising troops consumes too much money, the imperial court selects too many scholars through imperial examinations, and favors clan officials too much, and their salaries are too high, resulting in insufficient national funds." The chamberlain said carefully.

"Redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses. What can they do about these three redundancies?" Zhao Heng became interested and leaned on the chariot to ask.

The servants on the left and right looked at each other and said, "Guan family, several adults have been arguing, but to no avail."

"Then let's go quickly." Zhao Heng leaned on the chariot and walked to Yanfu Palace.

On the way from Funing Palace to Yanfu Palace, I saw many palace people going to Renming Palace.

"What's going on here?"

"I dare not say this," the chamberlain returned.

"I grant you no guilt and speak!"

"It's the little prince's business," the chamberlain said.

"What's wrong with my son?" Zhao Heng asked anxiously.

"The little prince is fine, but Concubine Li is unwilling to nurse, so Concubine Liu is anxious and summons a wet nurse to the palace to choose a wet nurse for the little prince," the chamberlain said.

"Then why no one reported it to me?" Zhao Heng said displeased.

"This is the order of the ladies. The ladies said that your Majesty's continuous summons to the ministers in the past few days must mean that something big is going to happen in the court. Therefore, we are not allowed to bother the officials with trivial matters." The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said.

"We won't go to Yanfu Palace, we will go to Renming Palace instead." Zhao Heng got off the chariot and ordered.

Zhao Heng's son wanted to find a wet nurse. But the mother of Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom died. Xiao Chuo, who had suppressed the Liao Kingdom for twenty-seven years, died.

Xiao Chuo was the daughter of Xiao Siwen, an important minister of the later clan. In the first year of Baoning (969 AD), after Liao Jingzong succeeded Yelu Xian to the throne, she was selected as a noble concubine and was canonized as queen in May. In the third year of Baoning (971 AD), Liao Sheng was born.

Zong Yelu Longxu[7]. During the reign of Emperor Jingzong of Liao Dynasty, Xiao Chuo participated in major military and state affairs.

In the fourth year of Qianheng (982), Yelu Xian died. Yelu Longxu succeeded to the throne and respected Xiao Chuo as the empress dowager. Xiao Chuo began his 27-year regency career. In the first year of Tonghe (983), Yelu Longxu led

The ministers gave Xiao Chuo the honorific title "Empress Dowager Chengtian".

Xiao Chuo arranged for Brother Yelu Xiu to stay in Nanjing (today's Beijing) to take charge of the military in the south and strengthen border defense. He appointed Yelu Xiezhen, who was married to Xiao Chuo's niece, as the Privy Envoy of the North Court to manage internal affairs, especially the nobles. At the same time, he

, Xiao Chuo adopted the suggestion of Han Derang, the privy envoy of the South Court, and issued an order to the princes of the clan: "The kings should return to their thrones and not have any private relations with Yanhui", causing them to lose their military power. At the same time, he summoned the relatives of each clan to the palace as hostages, which solved the internal dispute.

A big worry in seizing the throne.

Afterwards, they began to brutally kill the rebellious tribes, ministers, and dignitaries in the country. Every tribe bowed down under Xiao Chuo, and every piece of grassland also surrendered.

He also fought with the Song Dynasty for decades, and three emperors fought against each other, winning or losing.

During his reign, he transformed the Liao Kingdom, which was prone to rebellions, into the most powerful country in the world.

She publicly adopted Han Derang, a handsome man, and there is a saying in the history books that he married off.

During her reign, the Xiao surname became the second most common surname in the Liao Kingdom, and also became the so-called descendant clan, which is the tribe of the queen. No matter what the previous surname was, once the queen is born, it will be changed to the Xiao family.

And Handerang's Han became the third most popular surname in the Liao Kingdom, not because of the large number of people but because of his high status. Han Derang was the only Han person to be crowned king of the Liao Kingdom.

More than a month ago, Xiao Chuocai returned the rights to his son Yelu Longxu, who was 37 years old this year.

The Tanyuan Alliance was signed under Xiao Chuo's administration. Many people liked it, and many people disliked it.

Xiao Chuo was still able to suppress her when she was alive, but now she is dead, her general Xiao Talan is also dead, brother Yelv Xiu is also dead, Yelu Xiezhen died earlier, and Han Derang is no longer able to do it.

The Tielin Army also died.

So who else can suppress the rebellious ambitions of the Khitan nobles?

When Xiao Chuo fell ill, everyone had already concluded that this woman would not survive the winter.

After the handover of power, Xiao Chuo wanted to go to Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom to recuperate, but a heavy snowfall before departure left her in Guangpingdian.

Ever since Xiao Chuo fell ill, bad news kept coming.

The Jurchens are causing trouble again. Xiao Jiyuan, Prime Minister of Beiguang Prefecture, has led an army of 100,000 to suppress it. It is just a minor incident and will be fine by spring at the latest.

The grassland tribes moved south because of the White Disaster and entered Yelvshi's salt field. Xiao Dilie and his 100,000 Pishi troops had already killed them.

There are a lot of tribes coming to Guangpingdian this year, with 30,000 to 50,000 troops, but it doesn't matter, there are also 100,000 Pishi Army guards.

No one cared about this at all, they were just staring at Xiao Chuo to see when she would die.

Now that Xiao Chuo had died, Yelu Longxu lay on his mother's body and cried bitterly, completely unaware that the atmosphere in the tent was wrong.

The people of the Yelv and Xiao clans were extremely sad, while a large number of people in other clans felt relieved.

After a long time of persuasion by the relatives of the Yelu family and the Xiao family, Yelu Longxu left Xiao Chuo and sat down on his seat. It took a long time before Yelu Longxu recovered.

"The Empress Dowager passed away and ordered a nationwide amnesty. She sent people to the kings of Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Xia to express condolences, but was not allowed to celebrate the Thousand Years Festival." Yelu Longxu ordered: "Stop the court for three days to pay tribute, and after three days break camp and return to Zhongjing.

."

After everyone saluted Xiao Chuo's body, they retreated outside.

"Zubu Tielali, what are you going to do?" King Qin Yelu Longyun shouted.

I saw Chief Tie Lali standing at the door of the big tent holding a waist knife in his hand.

"Your Majesty, someone wants to rebel." Tie Lali shouted.

"Who wants to rebel?" Yelu Longxu asked?

"Me!" Tie Lali said with a ferocious smile.

"Kill him!" Yelu Longyun ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Ah." Handerang howled, and when he turned around, he saw behind him the Taoist slave, the son of Brother Yelvxiu, pulling out the knife from his waist.

"You..." Handrang pointed at the Taoist slave. Before he could finish speaking, his head flew into the sky.

Behind him, Tie Lali was slowly sheathing his knife.

"Kill." Taoist priest Nu and Tie Lali shouted. The guards around them began to attack the noble ministers in the big tent, but the two of them rushed out of the tent and rode away to the outside of the camp.

Fires broke out everywhere in the camp, and there was chaos.
