Yelu Xisun was originally a slave, but he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he became the counselor of Yelu Zongzhen, who was the crown prince at that time, and could freely go to and from the palace of Empress Qi Tian Xiao Boss. Later, Xiao Nojin bribed Yelu Xisun, and from then on, Yelu Xisun became the eyeliner arranged by Xiao Nojin to Xiao Boss. When Yelu Longxu left, Yelu Xisun falsely accused Empress Qi Tian's younger brother Xiao Xianbu and the prince-consored Duwei Xiao Pidi and others of the rebellion, and involved Xiao Boss. In other words, Xiao Nojin

Yelu Xisun made great contributions to being able to successfully seize power and take charge of the government. It was precisely because of this that Yelu Xisun once became a popular person in front of Xiao Nojin. However, as Xiao Nojin became increasingly arrogant and domineering, promoted his family members unscrupulously, and suppressed Yelu Zongzhen mercilessly. Yelu Xisun's inner justice factor broke out, and he began to oppose Xiao Nojin intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, he saw that Xiao Nojin had no intention of repentance and knew that Xiao Nojin would not last long. In order to protect himself, he turned to Yelu Zongzhen with a bright future and became Yelu Zongzhen's confidant.

Zhao Anren was originally from the Central Plains. When he was a child, he was captured in the Khitan and became an eunuch. Later, like Yelu Xisun, he was also bribed by Xiao Nojin and became a spy in Xiao Bodhisattva's palace, secretly monitoring Xiao Bodhisattva. However, it is obvious that Zhao Anren is far inferior to Yelu Xisun, and is much less courageous. Over time, he is always worried, feeling that everyone around him is staring at him, having nightmares every day, dreaming that he is caught.

In the end, he couldn't stand such mental torture and decided to sneak back to Wei Chao. As a result, he was caught. Xiao Boss Xiao wanted to execute him, so Xiao Nojin ran to Yelu Longxu to plead for him, and finally saved his life. Zhao Anren was initially greedy for money and was forced to work for Xiao Nojin, but he was always very uneasy, especially as Xiao Nojin became more and more dissatisfied, he became even more entangled. Finally, he became cruel and turned to Yelu Zongzhen.

Seeing that more and more people were in his camp, Yelu Zongzhen was not very relieved. Just in case, he secretly prepared five hundred elite cavalry.

Although Xiao Nojin was not clear about Yelu Zongzhen's actions, based on her intuition, she realized that this son was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. Moreover, as Yelu Zongzhen grew up, the conflict between the two became more and more serious. So Xiao Nojin secretly discussed with his younger brother Xiao Xiaoxian to abolish Yelu Zongzhen and change his youngest son Yelu Chongyuan to the emperor.

At this time, Yelu Chongyuan was only thirteen years old and did not know what the throne meant. In addition, he was very disgusted with his mother's attitude towards his brother, so when he heard that his mother wanted to destroy his brother, he immediately ran to tell his brother. Yelu Zong was really confused about waiting for the opportunity of time, place and people. When he heard that his mother wanted to destroy him, Long Yan was immediately happy and decided to take action first, and immediately took action to take down Xiao Xiao first.

Xiao Xiao was first a die-hard fan of Xiao Nojin and a loyal supporter. Although he married the princess and became the princess at the beginning, he was still unknown and unknown. It was not until Xiao Nojin gave birth to Yelu Zongzhen and the family rose again that he was able to use it and gradually rose to prominence. In other words, his success was closely related to his sister Xiao Nojin. Therefore, in the entire family, Xiao Xiao had the best relationship with Xiao Nojin first. From Yelu Longxu's serious illness and death, Xiao Nojin sent someone to put martial law in the palace, to later killing Xiao Bossa Ge and his tribe, to Xiao Nojin's regent, almost everything was made behind his back. In other words, Xiao Xiao was Xiao Nojin's right-hand man first, and as long as he was eliminated, it would be equivalent to regaining half of the imperial power.

After careful conspiracy and deployment, Yelu Zongzhen sent someone to call Xiao Xiaoxian to his palace tent and told him that he had already known the conspiracy with Xiao Nojin, and now many ministers were on their side and let him make a choice. Xiao Xiaoxian did not expect that the little emperor had secretly accumulated such great power, and was stunned. Seeing that Xiao Xiaoxian was reluctant to express his opinion, Yelu Zongzhen showed that he did not intend to kill him and his mother, but just wanted to regain the imperial power, and as long as he was willing to submit to him, he could still continue to be his high-ranking official.

Looking at the elite soldiers around him who were unsheathed, and then looking at the fact that even the people of the family had surrendered to Yelu Zongzhen. Xiao Xiaoxian knew that even if he continued to resist tenaciously, it would be useless. On the contrary, he might not die or have a burial place, so he nodded in agreement. Yelu Zongzhen was overjoyed and immediately sent Yelu Xisun and Zhao Anren to Xiao Nuojin's palace. According to the prior agreement, he told Xiao Nuojin that there was something wrong with Qingling and asked her to deal with it. He himself led 500 elite soldiers to ambush on a small hill two miles away from Xiao Nuojin's palace as a support.

Although Xiao Nojin trusted Yelu Xisun and Zhao Anren very much, she suddenly heard the news and felt something was wrong, so she asked the two of them what was going on. Seeing that Xiao Nojin refused to be deceived, Yelu Xisun and Zhao Anren didn't care whether she believed it or not, they simply pushed and pulled Xiao Nojin to the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and sent her to Qingling to imprison her. Yelu Zongzhen saw that his mother Xiao Nojin was taken away by Yelu Xisun and Zhao Anren, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers to take action separately, arrest Xiao Nojin's gang members, exiled, and executed them, and seized the imperial power with thunder and lightning speed.

(Qingling is located about fifteen kilometers from the Sumu station in Suboliga, Balin Right Banner, Inner Mongolia today. The tomb is buried with seven members of the Khitan royal family, Yelu Longxu, Empress Qin Ai Xiao Nojin, Empress Rende Xiao Bosagge, Emperor of Xingzong of Liao, Emperor of Renyi Xiao Tali, Emperor of Daxinganling, and Emperor of Xuanyi Xiao Guanyin. The tomb of Qingling is distributed in a mountain canyon on the southern foot of the mountain that stretches east and west in the Daxinganling Forest Area. The southern slope of the foot of this mountain has three peaks, with rugged rocks and towering into the clouds. It is called Yong'an Mountain and was later changed to Qingyun Mountain, so this tomb is called Qingling. Now, this mountain is called Dahei Mountain, and its Mongolian name is Walinwula, which means a sand dune with bricks and tiles. It is surrounded by mountains, with lush grass and trees, beautiful environment, and many wild animals. The Khitan emperors like to hunt here.)

After Yelu Zongzhen came to power, he wanted to make a great achievement that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, but he had no choice but to regain the imperial power from his own mother and rectify the chaotic court. In the end, after waiting, he finally waited for a good opportunity - the Central Plains dynasty and the Western Bibles fought for years, and the Wei Dynasty retreated step by step and was always suppressed by the Western Bibles. Yelu Zongzhen was immediately happy. Since the Wei Dynasty was so weak, why not take the opportunity to make a fortune? But, he always had to be famous for his troops. What kind of excuse should he find? After thinking about it, Yelu Zongzhen finally had a flash of inspiration and decided to make a fuss about the ten counties in Guannan.

The ten counties in the south of Guannan are Waqiao Pass, Yijin Pass, and Yukou Pass. At the beginning, these three counties and ten counties belonged to the Central Plains dynasty. Later, when Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he gave it to the Khitan. Later, Chai Rong, the Later Zhou Shizong, launched an army to the north to attack, and this land belonged to the Central Plains dynasty.

At that time, the Emperor of Khitan was the sleeping emperor Yelu Jing. He was only concerned about drinking, sleeping, and hunting, and had no interest in dealing with the government affairs. He heard that Chai Rong withdrew his troops, so he turned around and drank with a jar of wine. Therefore, from then on, the three gates and ten counties completely returned to the embrace of the Central Plains dynasty.

After Yelu Longxu ascended the throne, Xiao Chuo was regent, mother and son took advantage of the new emperor of the Wei Dynasty to succeed to the throne, and their foundation was unstable, and they launched a war under the banner of asking for the three passes and ten counties. Finally, they came to the city of Chanzhou and forced Zhenzong Zhao Heng to sign the "Chanyuan Alliance" with the Khitan. Although the Khitan did not recover the three passes and ten counties, they also received 300,000 yuan in annual monies.

Yelu Zongzhen wanted to learn from his grandmother Xiao Chuo and his grandfather Yelu Longxu. Under the banner of asking for the three passes and ten counties, he sent troops to attack the Central Plains dynasty. However, Yelu Zongzhen was still unsure, so he went to find Zhang Jian, the old prime minister who had retired and was asked for Zhang Jian's opinions. After Zhang Jian analyzed the current situation for Yelu Zongzhen, he said that he did not need to send troops at all. As long as he sent envoys to negotiate with the Central Plains dynasty, he could achieve the purpose of asking for land.

Finally, Yelu Zongzhen wrote a very casual letter to Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen, who had the same experience as him, saying that the ten counties in Guannan were owned by the Khitans. Later, Chai Rong was a hero and took away the land, so his Chai family quickly perished. Moreover, the two families of the Khitan and the Wei Dynasty formed friendly neighbors and had a good relationship. However, the problems in the ten counties in Guannan always lingered in his mind, which led to him not having enough food and sleep well all day long. He was always worried that the Wei Dynasty would break the contract and break the alliance, so he hoped that the Wei Dynasty could return the land to the Khitans.

After Zhao Zhen obtained the draft, he was shocked and immediately summoned the ministers to discuss how to deal with it. When the Khitan envoy Liu Liufu and Xiao Temo came to Kaifeng with Yelu Zongzhen's official letter, they had already discussed three opinions: they could not cede land, they could marry and increase annual monies.

On this side, the Khitan insisted on ceding the land, while on the other side, the Wei Dynasty firmly expressed its refusal to ced the land. Both sides said that the Duke was right, and the Du Po said that the Du Po was right, and he could never form a unified opinion. After Yelu Zongzhen, who was far away from the Khitan, learned about it, he decided to put some pressure on the Du Po, forcing the Wei Dynasty to agree to cede the land quickly, so he issued a reward and punishment order for the Southern Expedition with great fanfare.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen was shocked and immediately sent Fu Bi as an envoy to Khitan with his handwritten letter to negotiate the land search. At the same time, at the suggestion of the minister, he promoted Daming Prefecture (which is today's Daming in Hebei) to Beijing to strengthen the city defense, and at the same time, he built river defense in the border areas of the two countries and trained troops to create momentum.

Yelu Zongzhen felt very unsure when he saw that the Wei Dynasty had changed its weak nature and became tough. Therefore, after hearing that the envoys from both sides had not reached a conclusion, they simply met Fu Bi in person, saying that as long as the Wei Dynasty returned the three passes and ten counties to the Khitan, the two countries would have a long friendship. Fu Bi was unmoved at all and clearly stated that the Khitan wanted to obtain the old land of his ancestors, and the Wei Dynasty did not want to lose the old land of his ancestors. Moreover, since the Khitan was proud of obtaining land, the Wei Dynasty would inevitably be ashamed of losing land. The two countries formed an allies and made a brother. How could they let the two brothers be glorious and shame? Then, he said that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were originally the land of the Central Plains, and now a large area of ​​land belongs to the Khitan. The Wei Dynasty did not make any request for land, just to take into account the brotherhood. Therefore, the two countries were still content and should not be greedy for more.

Yelu Zongzhen originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Wei Dynasty's war with the Western Yi for years, learn from his ancestors, make achievements and show his ambitions. Now, when he heard Fu Bi's words, he thought that the Wei Dynasty was sharpening his sword and gun on the border and was ready to start a war. He suddenly became confused and decided to make a move, just marry and give money. This made Renzong Zhao Zhen and the civil and military officials of the dynasty very unhappy. If both conditions were agreed, wouldn't it just prove that the Wei Dynasty was weak and could be bullied? Who would have thought of bullying in the future? So, after a few days,

After the night meeting, Zhao Zhen made it clear that if the Khitan wanted to marry, then there would be no gold and silk. If the Khitan could convince Li Yuanhao to surrender to the Wei Dynasty again, then the Wei Dynasty would give the Khitan 200,000 coins every year, otherwise it would only give 100,000 coins. Faced with the tough attitude of the Wei Dynasty, Yelu Zongzhen was helpless. He knew the custom of the Southern Dynasty princesses getting married, and the dowry generally did not exceed 100,000 coins. After thinking about it, he decided to choose 200,000 coins. However, in order to get psychological comfort, he asked to add the word "dedication" to the affidavit.

Of course, Fu Bi disagreed. "Xian" means that the subordinates sacrificed to the superiors. The Khitan and the Wei Dynasty are two hostile countries and belong to the same level. How can "Xian" be used? What's more, the two countries have made a brother, the Wei Dynasty is brother, the Khitan is brother, and the elder brother "Xian" is brother, and the older brother "Xian" is younger. Seeing that Fu Bi refused to agree, Yelu Zongzhen proposed to use the word "Na", but Fu Bi also refused. Now Yelu Zong was really unhappy, so he asked Fu Bi to discuss with Renzong Zhao Zhen before talking. In fact, the emperors and ministers of the Wei Dynasty knew very well that adding annual tribute to the Khitan was equivalent to tribute to the Khitan. Fighting for a word was just to seek some psychological comfort. But no one in the civil and military dynasty was willing to tear apart and admitted this self-deception statement.

At this time, Yan Shu, a famous poet of the Wei Dynasty, stood up without hesitation. He suggested using the word "na". When he heard Yan Shu's suggestion, Zhao Zhen immediately smiled. He learned that Yelu Zongzhen finally chose to increase the annual quota of 200,000, and he was already happy. You should know that the annual income of the Wei Dynasty at this time was as high as tens of millions of trump cards. Relatively speaking, the Khitan was settled in the 200,000 yuan, and this transaction was very cost-effective. But for the sake of face, he was embarrassed to express his joy. Now, seeing that Yan Shu was willing to serve as a scapegoat for him, Zhao Zhen immediately agreed to this proposal.

In this way, Yelu Zongzhen took advantage of the situation to rob the merits and achieved success. He happily held the newly obtained coin and shook hands with the Central Plains dynasty. The land-storm between the two countries came to a perfect end. Because this happened during the Chongxi period of Yelu Zongzhen, it was called "Zhongxi Coin Increase".

Although Yelu Zongzhen's behavior of taking advantage of the situation and robbery ended up with a happy ending, it made the Western Yi leaders very unhappy. Therefore, after this incident, the relationship between the Western Yi and the Khitan became worse and worse. Especially after Li Yuanhao became the leader, he wanted to establish an independent regime, neither surrendered to the Wei Dynasty nor the Khitan, so he secretly grabbed the Dangxiang tribes who depended on the Khitan, so that they let them leave the Khitan and submit to themselves. So, later, the Dangxiang tribes rebelled, and Li Yuanhao not only did not help Yelu Zongzhen to quell the rebellion, but instead rescued the Dangxiang tribes.

(I have written the "Ten Xiang Ci" by Xiao Guanyin and the palace musician Zhao Weiyi in the past, and I will not repeat it here. Yelu Hongji was mediocre on the throne of the emperor and was foolish for 46 years, and finally ended his corrupt life. Later, his grandson Yelu Yanxi inherited the throne and became the last emperor of the Khitan Empire - Emperor Tianzuo.) ()
