History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
After genghis Khan's rise in the Mongolian steppe, he conquered the surrounding tribes successively, and even the powerful Tatar and Krebe became his subordinates. In 1204 AD, his last powerful rival on the steppe, Naimanbu, took the lead in attacking, and the two sides fought a major battle at Hangai Mountain, resulting in the defeat of Naimanbu Sun Khan, and even his own wife, a generation of Yanhou Gulbetsu, was taken into genghis Khan's harem.
After the defeat of the Naimanbu, the son of sun khan, Qu Chulu, was chased by Temujin and led the remnants to flee to the Western Liao Empire founded by Yelü Dashi, the grandson of yelü Abaoji VIII, the founding emperor of the Liao state. At that time, the Western Liao State had been established for 80 years, and the perennial conquests damaged the national strength of this powerful empire. At this time, the ruler of the Western Liao was its fifth emperor, Gur Khan Yelü Zhilugu. His people coveted pleasure and ignored government affairs, causing corruption in the government and boiling over the people's grievances.
When qu chulu arrived in The Western Liao, he took a group of retinues to meet Yerushalayim. Qu Chulu was very scheming, and just in case, to prevent Yerushalayim from going against him, Qu Chu Lu had his retinue dress up as him, while he himself pretended to be a groom and waited outside the court. Of course, the faint-hearted Jeroboam Could not see that the servant of the Lord of the Law had dropped his bag, but he had a clever favorite concubine, Gu'er, who was not quick.
In the process of meeting, Gu'er Beisu just returned to the palace and encountered the unusual-looking flexion law. He was good at observing words and seeing colors, and knew that the imperial concubine had the heart to recommend, so he met with Gur Khan. Qu Chulu offered Gur Khan countermeasures against Genghis Khan, and Dayi awe-inspiring loyalty to the emperor, and the fainting Gur Khan was very satisfied with Qu Chulu's performance. As a result, he went from a fallen prince to the emperor's favorite, and also married Princess Hunku, the only daughter of Gur Khan, and became a donkey of the Western Liao State.
Because of his clever words and sociability, Qu Chulu took advantage of Gur Khan's incompetence and ignorance, only knew the opportunity of pleasure, secretly developed his power, and soon won many important ministers and generals in the Western Liao Dynasty and became his cronies.
In order to satisfy his own extravagant life, Gul Khan squandered and squeezed the people, resulting in continuous uprisings in various places and the turmoil in the Western Liao Kingdom. In 1211, Qu Chulu finally waited for the opportunity to usurp the throne. In this year, the two strong vassal states of the Western Liao, HuaLazimo and Samarkand, successively raised the anti-banner, and when the time was ripe, they colluded with the kings of the two countries to attack the Western Liao, causing the Western Liao army to be defeated and the country's strength to decline day by day.
In such a dilemma, Gur Khan is still immersed in pleasure. One day in this year, when he was out on a safari, he was attacked by the army that his son-in-law Qu Chulu had already ambushed, and Gur Khan was captured and forced to give up the throne, and two years later he was depressed and became the de facto ruler of the Western Liao.
After becoming emperor, Qu Chulu's rule became even more brutal and dim, killing the people of the opposing forces on a large scale, becoming a generation of tyrants in Central Asia, and provoking the revolt of the Central Asian countries. In the spring of 1218, Qu Chulu ushered in his end. The Mongol army divided into two routes, pointing at Central Asia, one of which was led by the general Tetsubetsu, and attacked the city of Kashgar, which was entrenched by the law.
Qu Chulu was timid before he fought, abandoned the city and fled. Princess Hun kuo, the empress at this time, begged Qu Chulu to take her with her to flee, but he was chopped alive by him. However, Qu Chulu did not escape far, and was surrounded alive by hunters who hated his rule and sacrificed to the Mongol army. Soon after, Tetsubetsu ordered the tyrant to be put to death, ending his sinful life.
