Chapter 377 Five Powers
Not only Yelu Deguang, but any emperor would do the same.Although the emperor's art is good, his only loophole is that the emperor died before announcing the heir, which made all the forces in the entire Khitan start to go crazy, but no one could control it.

The Khitans only announce their heirs when they are in prison, this is also to ensure the safety of the heirs.Let the ministers join one of the supporter factions, and finally get the throne and the prince will promote those who support him.This is also a test of the vision of the ministers.As a person in power, if the vision is not good, there must be no potential for development. In this way, every time there is a change of emperor in the court, there will be a change of ministers. It is because of this that the Khitan will continue to develop and become stronger and stronger.

However, the death of Yelu Deguang had a great impact on Khitan's internal affairs. None of the ministers were willing to lose power, so they would fully support the princes of their own faction to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperors. And nobles will also force him to fight.

Now Khitan has five forces that restrain each other, and the person who forcibly integrates these five forces is Shenwu King Yeluzhen.Today's Khitan is the only one who has the right to speak.Yeluzhen also has this strength, as long as Yelu goes crazy, no one in the entire Khitan Palace can leave alive.

Because of Yeluzhen's force, several princes were forced to stay in the palace and not allowed to go out. Even if only one person left the palace, this person would station with a part of the army, ready to rebel at any time.

But in fact, four of these five forces are ready to rebel. Only those who support Yelvjing do not plan to rebel, they are ready to rehabilitate.

It can be said that Yelujing is well-received by everyone. As the eldest son, his strength is extraordinary, and no one dares to say anything about his succession to the throne.Only a few of his brothers dared to disobey. As long as they had a good reason, they could rebel and then enclose the land and become kings. This was also what Yeluzhen was most worried about.

How much time, money and manpower it will take to put down all the rebel forces is a burden that Khitan cannot bear.What's more, the Central Plains can take this opportunity to attack Khitan. At that time, the only person who will be happy is Guo Wei.

The second prince, Yelu Sage, was the most dissatisfied, because the first emperor Yelu Deguang was the second son of Yelu Abaoji, and none of the previous emperors was the eldest son, so Yelujing's succession to the throne was the most unpopular.The title of King Taiping is not for nothing. The martial arts of the second prince, Yelv Sage, is far superior to that of Yelv Jing. Even in the entire Khitan, there are not many people who can defeat Yelv Sage, so Yelu Sage has always advocated fairness and openness. , it is best for a few brothers to compete in martial arts, and whoever wins will be the emperor...

The third prince, Yelu Tiande, strongly opposed it because his martial arts were the worst.However, his resourcefulness is not bad, but he has too much wine and sex on weekdays, and he does not have strong internal strength to support his health.He most advocates an intelligence test, because being an emperor does not require great martial arts, a smart mind is more important.

The fourth prince, Yelv Dilie, refused to accept it, neither did anyone else.But in terms of people's hearts, he is not as good as his eldest brother Yelujing, his martial arts is not as good as his second brother Yeluzage, and his resourcefulness is not as good as his third brother Yelu Tiande, so Yelv Dilie has long planned to split up and kept silent. If not, just start scolding.As long as he doesn't make a move, Yelu Dilie can use any shameless trick.

Yelubel is a princess, she does not have the power and strength to fight for the throne, and he has no ambition to fight for the throne.Of course, Yelubel supported his elder brother Yelujing, because anyone with a discerning eye would know that Yelujing is the material to be emperor, and it would not be a good thing for the other three idiots to become emperor.

In addition to the forces of the four princes, there is another force that has also received the support of many people. Apart from Yelvjing, he is the one who has the most support.Yelu Deguang's nephew, Yelu Abaoji's eldest son and grandson, Yelu Ruan.His status is a bit embarrassing, but he is both civil and military, open-minded, quite similar to Yelu Deguang, so many people also support him as emperor.

At the beginning, Yelu Ruan's father lost to Yelu Deguang in the battle for imperial power, but Yelu Ruan's father was the eldest son of Yelu Abaoji, and Yelu Ruan was the eldest son and grandson. He also has the right to inherit the throne, except for Yelu Jing , the person most qualified to inherit the throne is Yelu Ruan.

These five forces are only the most qualified and have the best chance of winning the throne.There are still countless small forces ready to move, all dreaming of their own emperor's dream.

Because of Zong Xin, the entire Khitan has become a mess. It was originally a country integrated by nomads, and there are countless numbers of thrones. These people can't bear it anymore and are ready to rise up and leave the Daliao at any time, unless the candidate for the emperor is fixed immediately. Come down, otherwise the Khitan will inevitably split.

After listening to Yeluhong's complete narration, Zong Xin said with shame: "How much trouble have I caused you? I feel a little ashamed myself. Otherwise... I will pay you five taels of silver."

"No need, as long as you can integrate these forces, let the princes calm down a bit, and don't fight for the throne, the old man is willing to pay for your life." Yelu Hongyue became more and more excited, and even made his own life as a condition. Zong Xin can quell the Khitan civil strife, even if this life is given to him, it doesn't matter.

Yeluhong knew the consequences of Khitan's split, but the princes were unwilling to waste this good opportunity for their own glory and wealth.Even if the Khitan is split, he must ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.And they are justified, and no one is qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

Every prince is very confident in himself, even if the Khitan is split, he can reintegrate the Khitan with his own strength.

Zong Xin sneered: "Are you really willing to give up this life for Khitan?"

"This matter is absolutely true, as long as the master can quell the civil strife in Khitan, this old man will immediately kill himself in front of you to atone for the previous crime."

"Well, you go to die now."

Without further ado, Yeluhong pulled out his protective saber, and then threw it on his neck...but the saber couldn't cut it, because Zong Xin grasped the blade with much stronger strength than Yeluhong, and the blade was naturally towering Do not move.

"Don't worry, you have to lead the way for me, otherwise how can I find Yelvzhen?" Zong Xin said: "I was just joking with you, don't take it too seriously. Anyway, I was the one who caused this trouble, but... This is because Yelu Deguang is too confident in himself, and he clearly told him that this is a trap, but he still jumped into it with his eyes closed, which is none of my business."

"I don't need to mention this matter again. You and I know it well. If you can attack your heart, you will turn your back on yourself. Since ancient times, you have known that soldiers are not belligerent. If you don't judge the situation, you will be lenient and strict. You must think about it later. These two sentences are When I first met the master in Chengdu, I was taught by the master. I know the master's way of attacking the heart, the ability to judge the situation, and the ability to use both soft and hard tricks to make people know that it is a trap or have to jump." Yeluhong said: "I want you With this ability, it is estimated that the Central Plains has long been in my Khitan's pocket. But this old man is still unclear about one thing."

Zong said: "You know you don't understand, but you don't have to understand, Yeluzhen will tell you."

"Sure enough, an ordinary person like me can't even read a master's trick." Yeluhong sighed, "No wonder I'm only qualified to lead the way for Master Zongxin. My younger brother said that you will definitely come. I never doubted it. It's not that I don't doubt it." This matter, but not to doubt my little brother. It's just... I really don't understand."

Of course, Yeluhong didn't understand that Zongxin managed to set up a big game, and led Yelu Deguang into the game to die in the Central Plains, causing civil strife in Khitan, and the split was imminent.All of this is Zong Xin's plan, and he managed to make this plan come true. This result is great news for Zhong Yuan.

Although the Khitan has not yet been destroyed, it may not be able to survive for long if it continues at this rate.In the end, the Khitan will split, not to mention the powerful Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that even Koryo will be defeated by then, and in the end they will have to ask for help everywhere, and they will even be forced to return to Shangjing, and most of the country will be colonized by other countries.

It is not easy for Zong Xin to achieve such an effect. This can be said to be the biggest victory of the Central Plains against Khitan.And this is the result that the Central Plains people want to see the most, but...why did Zong Xin deliberately quell this civil strife?
In fact, Yelu Deguang died in the Battle of Kaifeng and lost a lot of troops, but the impact of that battle on Khitan was not very great.If Khitan reintegrates again, it will soon regain its vitality, and the result will still be a long-term depression and confrontation with Cangzhou.

Now that the Khitan royal family has deciphered Fu Yanqing's five-shaped formation, as long as the army presses down on the Central Plains, it will be broken.Didn't Zong Xin think about this kind of thing?Could it be that Zong Xin really wanted to help Khitan unify the world and set the Central Plains?
Yeluhong immediately shook his head, Zong Xin is definitely not such a good person.Although he can't understand the tacit understanding between him and his younger brother, there must be something wrong with it.Neither of them are easy-going lamps, it's just that... Zong Xin is more skilled, I'm afraid that the younger brother will suffer from Zong Xin again.

"Prince Yelu, where are you taking us now? Go directly to the city?"

Yeluhong said: "I have a humble house in Mozhou, which is temporarily used as a resting place for the master. Today I have a good meal, and tomorrow I will immediately set off to Dading Mansion in Shangjing. I am already feeling panicked there. I have to use the flying eagle first. Send a letter telling him that you have arrived at the border of Liao Kingdom, so that he can rest assured for the time being."

Zong Xin said with a smile: "It is necessary to have a full meal, but there is no need to worry about it tomorrow. Let's go to Youzhou first. I wanted to go to Youzhou a long time ago. You just said that Yeluruan, the king of the Southern Court You are in Youzhou, right. One of the reasons why your elder brother sent you here is to pick me up, and the other reason is to follow my orders, so that I can go anywhere without any hindrance. Tomorrow, I will go to Youzhou to do business first. If you want Khitan to reintegrate, you must You have to pass Yelu Ruan."
