People who stand at the peak of power will never give up their power easily. Even if they are defeated by political opponents, they will find it difficult to be willing to do so. They will often gather their strength secretly and prepare to counterattack at any time and catch the other party off guard. Shuluping is such a person.

After crossing the agreement, Shuluping and Yelu Ruandu returned to the imperial capital. Yelu Ruan did go to greet his grandmother Shuluping if you have anything to do, and hello to him, and he was completely like a well-behaved grandson.

Shuluping also looked like a kind grandmother on the surface, but over time, she couldn't pretend anymore. The more she looked at this grandson, the more she disliked her. She couldn't stand an emperor who didn't listen to her, especially the emperor's dragon throne was taken away from her.

At this time, her beloved son Yelu Lihu also began to act, and was moving around the imperial capital openly and secretly, wanting to take advantage of Yelu Ruan's unsteady to kick him off the dragon throne and become the emperor himself.

After Shuluping learned that his son, who was not very good at giving up, not only did not object, nor did he turn a blind eye, but instead actively cooperated with him in secret activities and planned to be a throne.

Actually, Shu Lu Ping knows this son better than anyone else. She knows very well that Li Huyi is not capable, and he is not virtuous, and only knows how to greed for pleasure. Even if he becomes an emperor in a peaceful era, he will not bring any good luck to the country. However, as a mother, she can never refuse her son's request.

Li Hu is Shuluping's youngest child and the one who relies on her the most.

She has four children in total. When her daughter grew up, she got married early and didn't have time to show her heart. Her eldest son Yelu Bei was deprived of the right to inherit the throne, so she naturally resented her. In the end, she simply abandoned the country, his wife and children and crossed the sea. The second son Yelu Deguang promoted the throne himself, and he should be grateful to her, but he always looked at her and thought about taking away military power from her.

Seeing the children growing up one by one, their wings are hard, and they don’t need her mother at all, her sense of loss is getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, she has her youngest son Li Hu, who has been following him all year round. Although he does not have the talent of his brothers, he is also unpopular, and even causes some trouble, this just satisfies her mother’s psychology. Only Li Hu needs her the most, so Shuluping feels that he should protect his son and give him everything he wants.

This time is no exception. When her son wanted to rebel, Shuluping expressed her support without hesitation. Even if the opponent was her grandson, she would never be ruthless. As her son's backer and military advisor, Shuluping planned the rebellion step by step, and silently praised the ruthlessness and sharpness of her own body.

However, after a few days of happiness, the bad luck came - her and Yelu Lihu's attempt to abolish Yelu Ruan was discovered by Yelu Ruan.

In fact, Yelu Ruan was not as simple as Shuluping thought. After returning to the capital, he did not rest assured. On the contrary, he knew very well that although he had been recognized by his grandmother Shuluping and became a legitimate emperor, it did not mean that his grandmother would give up on her dream of making her uncle Yelu Lihu the emperor. The calmer she was on the surface, the more terrifying the conspiracy in secret might be.

Therefore, Yelu Ruan secretly sent someone to stare at Shuluping and Yelu Lihu. As long as they have any trouble, they will immediately take action.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by him. He was not ruthless at all, and immediately sent someone to arrest Shuluping and Yelu Lihu.

However, new problems arise again. How to deal with them? Yelu Ruan is confused.

According to Khitan law, the nobles rebelled and the main culprits were executed, and his family would be arrested as slaves. However, Shuluping and Yelu Lihu were not ordinary nobles, one was the founding mother of the country, and the other was the emperor's uncle. Especially Shuluping, she had followed Yelu Abaoji to fight south and north and jointly established the Khitan Empire. In the minds of the people, it was a god-like existence, and the Xiao family behind her was even more powerful. If it was not handled properly, there would be endless troubles.

After thinking about it, Yelu Ruan never came up with a perfect solution. Suddenly one day, Yelu Ruan woke up and had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly realized: He was already a legitimate emperor, and his grandmother was already seventy years old. Even if he wanted to make trouble, he might be willing but unable to do anything. Uncle Yelu Lihu was just an A Dou who could not help him and could not become a climate at all. So, strictly speaking, they could not pose any substantial threat to him. So what else do you call them?

After understanding this, Yelu Ruan suddenly felt refreshed and immediately made a deep and affectionate sigh, saying that Lu Ping was the wife of his grandfather Yelu Abaoji, and his uncle Yelu Lihu was the only son of his grandfather who lived in the world. They were the closest people in the world of grandfather. It was perfect for them to serve his grandfather. Then he sent Shulu Ping and Yelu Lihu to the stone house in Zuzhou City, serving his grandfather Yelu Abaoji, who had been dead for many years. At the same time, he killed the followers who participated in the rebellion and the pass.

Yelu Ruan said it nicely, he was serving Yelu Abaoji, but was only responsible for sacrificing Abaoji, but in fact he put them under house arrest. However, Yelu Ruan's evidence was conclusive, and the two were unable to turn the world back, so they had to pack up silently and move to the stone house to serve Yelu Abaoji.

But Yelu Ruan did not give up. He knew very well that what he had done had invisibly challenged Shuluping's family, the Second Kingdom Uncle's Account. So he did not stop and simply punched hard, and attacked the forces of the Second Kingdom Uncle's Account openly and secretly.

The two uncles of the two kingdoms were Shuluping's two brothers, Xiao Dilu and Xiao Agu. After Yelu Abaoji established the Khitan Empire, in order to consolidate the throne and strengthen the imperial power, he tried his best to cultivate the power of Shuluping's mother's family, and successively let Xiao Dilu and Xiao Agu serve as prime ministers of the Northern Palace, and ordered that the subsequent prime ministers of the Northern Palace be chosen in their homes.

Later, when Abaoji reorganized his tribe, he independent of Shuluping's family from his tribe and promoted it to the Second Kingdom's Uncle. After the development of the two dynasties of Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Deguang, the Second Kingdom's Uncle's Uncle's Uncle had become an important political force in the Khitan Empire, and it can even be said that it was a political force in the Khitan with the Yelu family.

The rise of the Second National Uncle's Account can be said to be entirely attributed to Shuluping. Now that Yelu Ruan has put Shuluping under house arrest, he is of course very worried that the Second National Uncle's Account will rebel, so he must strike while the iron is hot and kill the second national Uncle's Account first.

After arresting Shuluping, Yelu Ruan immediately ordered the removal of Shuluping's Oludo, which was basically equivalent to depriving Shuluping of her private political and economic entity. Her original institutions, army and palace guards engaged in production and service were suddenly cleared, causing Shuluping to lose the capital to compete with the imperial power.

Then, Yelu Ruan made another shocking decision - to make the Han woman Zhen family queen. In the Khitan Empire, there was an unwritten marriage rule that the emperor had to confer the woman from the second uncle's account as the queen. In order to give the second uncle's account a warning, Yelu Ruan made the Han woman queen with great courage.

Yelu Ruan felt that it was not enough, so he rescued his uncle who was a slave for his crime, pardoned his slave status, and promoted him to the national uncle's account, which was called the national uncle's account, and gave his uncle's family the privilege of participating in the election of the prime minister of the Northern Palace, hoping to compete with the two national uncle's account.

The young and energetic Yelu Ruan was full of energy. As soon as he came to power, he cracked down on the Shulu family, which had great power in the Khitan Empire. But he didn't know that sooner or later, would cause trouble when he got into trouble. His passionate series of declarations also invisibly laid the dangerous foreshadowing for him.

The reason why Yelu Ruan supported Yelu Ruan to the throne was because Yelu Deguang died in a hurry and did not have time to designate a successor. According to Khitan customs, without a clear successor, the mother of the country Shuluping could unscrupulously take charge of the dynasty and take charge of state affairs on behalf of the state, which means that she could manipulate the emperor who should be the emperor. Everyone knows very well that she would definitely let her son Li Hu be the emperor.

This made the chiefs of the tribes represented by the kings of the South and North Courts very uneasy. What they didn't want to see the least was that Shuluping was reincarnated, and he didn't want to obey Shuluping's intentions and make Yelu Lihu the emperor. However, the person who was most qualified to inherit the throne, Yelu Deguang's eldest son Yelu Jing was only in his teens and had no ability to compete with Shuluping.

The proposal to support Yelu Ruan ascend to power was immediately strongly supported by another large number of people - descendants of the ministers killed by Shuluping twenty years ago - they felt that this was an excellent opportunity. It could not only attack Shuluping, avenge revenge for his grandfathers, but also change their political destiny. It was really a killing two birds with one stone.

However, such a premise also destined that these people could not devote themselves to Yelu Ruan until they died. After Shuluping and Yelu Lihu were imprisoned in the stone house in Zuzhou, the dangers of these people were lifted and the revenge they should avenge were also avenged. So, they naturally began to plan further actions.

The first people who couldn't hold back were Xiao Han and Yelu Tiande.

Xiao Han was the son of Xiao Dilu, the founding prime minister of the Khitan Empire, and the nephew of Shuluping. He was one of the top figures in the tent of the two uncles. When Yelu Ruan and Shuluping competed for the throne, he first watched the fire from the other side and did not surrender to each other. Later, he found that Yelu Ruan had obvious upper hand, so he happily surrendered to Yelu Ruan.

Yelu Tiande was Yelu Deguang's veritable eldest son. Unfortunately, his mother was just an ordinary palace servant, so he could only be considered a concubine and was not qualified to inherit the throne. At that time, Yelu Deguang went south to attack Jin State, and he followed him, but because he was a concubine and had basically no status of speaking, he could only watch his father die of illness and Yelu Ruan ascend the throne.

Afterwards, Yelu Ruan sent Yelu Tiande to escort Yelu Deguang's body back to the imperial capital. Yelu Tiande immediately surrendered to his grandmother Shuluping, and followed his uncle Yelu Lihu to lead troops to attack Yelu Ruan, but was beaten to pieces.

In this way, he made himself unfamiliar. On this side, Shuluping felt that when Yelu Ruan ascended the throne, he neither opposed it, and asked him to lead his troops to attack Yelu Ruan, but he was defeated in a mess and did not really loyal to him. On the other side, Yelu Ruan also felt that he had surrendered to Shuluping and led his troops to attack him, so he must be an enemy. Therefore, neither side liked him.

These two people have been ulterior motives from the beginning and have not really loyal to anyone. Now, seeing Yelu Ruan imprison Shuluping with great fanfare, begin to reward merits, be crowned kings, and be promoted, then reforms one after another, vigorously promoting Han intellectuals, but their good luck has not fallen on their heads, I feel very uncomfortable.

Birds of a feather flock together. The two of them were full of passion, but they had no way to serve the country and their ambitions were hard to fulfill, which made them full of resentment. So they talked to each other if they had something to do. After a while, the two of them had conspiracies and decided to overthrow Yelu Ruan's rule together.

However, before they could put their grand plans into practice, their conspiracy was reported and the two were arrested together.

These two people knew that Yelu Ruan had no evidence at all, so they firmly denied the rebellion and seriously analyzed the reasons for Yelu Ruan: They had no military power and no authority to rebel, so why should they rebel?

Yelu Ruan had just brought down his grandmother Shuluping and his uncle Yelu Lihu, and was very proud. When he heard the two of them, he felt it made sense, so he sent someone to interrogate them in a formal manner for a few days and then let them go.

When the two of them saw that they had dealt with Yelu Ruan in this way, they couldn't help but feel aroused, their confidence increased greatly, and they colluded with the new Tiyin Yelu Liu brother, and were ready to do a big fight.

Yelu Liu Ge's father Yelu Yindishi was killed by Shuluping that year. He wanted to use Yelu Ruan's hands to avenge him, so he stood on Yelu Ruan's side. Now the great revenge has been avenged, and he was appointed Tiyin as the Tiyin for supporting Yelu Ruan Yougong, in charge of the affairs of the royal family.

Over time, Brother Yelu Liu's ** became stronger and stronger. He was no longer satisfied with being just a minister, and he also wanted to be an emperor. When he saw Yelu Ruan likes to drink and gambling, he would like to his preferences. He often drank, gambling with Yelu Ruan, and then waited for an opportunity to rebel.

These three people secretly vented their anger, of course they hit it off and immediately closed the door and discussed how to defeat Yelu Ruan.

However, the world did not meet their wishes. Within a few days, Yelu Shila learned about their rebellion. Yelu Shila had a big secret in his heart. He couldn't sleep well all day long and couldn't eat well, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, he couldn't help it and secretly told Yelu Wuzhi.

At this time, Yelu Wuzhi was unemployed at home. Originally, such a thing had nothing to do with him, but he was too responsible and felt that as a Khitan citizen, he had the responsibility and obligation to help the emperor share his worries, so he immediately rushed to the palace and told Yelu Ruan about the rebellion of these three people.

Yelu Ruan stared at Yelu Wuzhi suspiciously for a long time, not knowing whether he should believe him. How could he say that he was once a Shuluping person? Is his words really trustworthy? What's more, Brother Yelu Liu and he were drinking friends and gambling friends, and he played with him all day, and there was no sign of him being rebellious. So Yelu Ruan called Brother Yelu Liu, Xiao Han and others, and asked them directly if they were going to rebel.

Hearing Yelu Ruan’s question, Yelu Liu Ge, Xiao Han and others were stunned. At the same time, they realized that Yelu Ruan must not fully believe in Yelu Wuyu, so they quickly denied it reflexively.

Yelu Ruan was already skeptical, and when he saw a few people refused to admit it, he felt that Yelu Wu was hearing the truth and fussed, so he happily pulled Yelu Liu to continue drinking and gambling, throwing this matter completely out of the sky.

But Yelu Ruan didn't take this matter to heart, which does not mean that Yelu Liu Ge didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, Yelu Liu Ge not only took it completely, but also began to worry. He knew that Yelu Ruan had already begun to doubt himself, and if he didn't take action, he would have to wait for death. So, when Yelu Ruan summoned him to the palace to play with him, he hid a dagger in his sleeve, preparing to assassinate Yelu Ruan.

However, God once again stood on Yelu Ruan's side. As soon as Yelu Liuge came in, Yelu Ruan saw the dagger in Yelu Liuge's sleeve in a strange way, so he immediately sent someone to capture Yelu Liuge.

Tragically, Yelu Ruan didn't take this matter seriously at all. He kept Brother Yelu Liu for a few days. Because he was addicted to gambling, he couldn't find a matched opponent to play with him, so he let Brother Yelu Liu out again.

Of course, Brother Yelu Liu knew that his opportunity had come, so he tried his best to make Yelu Ruan so happy. When Yelu Ruan was happy, he suddenly remembered the rebellion of Brother Yelu Liu and asked him: "Do you really want to rebel?"

Brother Yelu Liu's eyes lit up. He knew that good luck had arrived. He immediately swore a swear word to express his loyalty to Yelu Ruan. If he had the intention of rebellion, he would die of a thousand gangrene on his head.

When Yelu Ruan heard him make a poisonous oath, she felt that he should not rebel, so she planned to forgive his crimes.

Now Yelu Wuzhi quit. He firmly opposed letting Yelu Liuge go, and asked Yelu Liuge to confront Yelu Shila, to see what both of them said before making a decision.

When Yelu Ruan heard this, he thought it made sense, so he asked Yelu Wuzhi to do the matter. Yelu Wuzhi quickly found out the truth and arrested Yelu Tiande, Xiao Han and others.
