There is a very famous emperor in history, many people are very envious, the reason why he is envious is because he is too comfortable to be an emperor: all night long, make up for sleep during the day, ignore the government, known as the "sleeping king".
Isn't this the life that modern people dream of, who doesn't want to go to work during the day and just wants to lie flat, get up at night, and enjoy all night.
But since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been a bloody power struggle, winning is sitting in the world, and losing not only loses his life, but also the whole family must be buried with him. In that chaotic world of frequent dynastic changes, if you did not have a little skill, and you were not resourceful enough, you might have received the lunch box early.
But this emperor, known as the "Sleeping King", Yelü Jing (Liao Muzong), did not know whether he had saved the galaxy in his previous life or whether the heavens only wanted to spoil him.
He did not become emperor to a greater or lesser extent, as other famous emperors in history have used some strategy.
But people are still sleeping, and the next door Yelü Chache and Yelü Peng disobeyed Yelü Ruan (Liao Shizong) as emperor, wanted to be emperor himself, and launched the Fire God Dian Rebellion, and three or two clicks on Yelü Ruan.
It may be that the movement is too loud, and the noise makes him impatient, and rush out to see that there is no other way to fight except to join the battle. So he and Jeroboam, who had escaped from the chaos, quickly led a rescue army to attack Jeroboam.
At this time, Yelü Chachief, who thought that he had a chance to win, did not notice that the enemy troops in the rear were killing, so Yelü Jing did not take much effort to eliminate Yelü Chac and other rebels. At the moment when the head landed, Yerushalayim could not have imagined that he had actually helped someone else make a wedding dress, and had worked in vain.
Because after Yelü Ruan was killed, there was no successor, and Yelü Jing took the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and eventually became the fourth emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Liao Muzong. , this throne really did not take the effort to win, can be described as "pie in the sky", and more or less a little "take advantage of the fire to rob" meaning, is simply "sandpiper clams compete for fishing and profit".
However, Yelü Jing was the chosen son of heaven, and after he easily became emperor, two more loyal ministers, Yelü Yagyi and Yelü Tart lie, took care of the affairs of the Liao kingdom properly. They adopted the policy of "equally assigning military service" and "persuading cultivators to cultivate crops", which allowed the rapid development of Khitan agriculture and handicrafts.
Yelü Jing did not want to fight, so the Khitan stopped the expansion of the army, but instead got a rest and recuperation, and the regime was relatively stable. Therefore, Yerushalayim thought that his throne had no worries and began to release himself.
When it comes to the emperor letting go of himself, everyone's first reaction may be that Yelü Jing's next step must be to accelerate the filling of harem beauties, because hasn't emperors always done this?
Yes, there have always been many emperors who have died nearly female sex. But Yerushalayim was fond of drinking, hunting, and sleeping, and had no interest in women.
Drink and have fun at night until the next morning, and then go to sleep during the day, and the political affairs are put on the back of his mind, so that the people in the palace privately give him the nickname "Sleeping King".
Literally, many people may just think that Jeroboam is extremely fond of sleeping, but in fact it is not. The reason why he is called the "Sleeping King" is mainly because he not only did not pay much in his own imperial path, but also during his reign, he only cared for his own pleasure.
During his 18 years in office, he repeated every day: drinking, hunting, and sleeping, never doing the right thing, and having no ability.
Hunting is his favorite, whether it is cold winter or summer, as long as he is happy, he will go hunting. When hunting, do not forget to drink, probably eat wild game under the wine more flavorful bar, and the "Sleeping King" interest is very high, each safari drinking will take up to seven days and nights to end.
However, it doesn't matter, there are still people taking care of state affairs, and the emperor will let him go no matter what! But such a calm day was not long broken.
Probably because life was too boring and tedious, this seemingly harmless Emperor Yelü Jing slowly became a demon.
Not only killing people for no reason, but also addicted to killing, Xu is a life schedule reversed, an emperor in his prime is not as good as an old man of seventy or eighty years old. So he began to panic, afraid that he would not live long, and kill people for longevity as a guide to alchemy.
How in the world can there be such a vicious way? Mainly to blame, Yelü Jing listened to the words of a witch named Shogu.
The witch said: "Great King, you want to live forever, I have a recipe here that is feasible, but it may be a little difficult to need a medicinal introduction."
Yelü Jing said: The whole Liao kingdom is mine, what is so difficult?
The witch said: The courage of a man.
Jeroboam said, "It's not easy!"
As a result, the people of the Liao Kingdom ushered in a nightmare. The "good emperor" who temporarily brought them a peaceful life was murderous. Not only did he specifically arrest Zhuang Ding and kill him, but even the people around him, whether they were servants or ministers, as long as there was a slight difference, they would cut it down.
Over time, it is even more moody, losing the war and killing a person to apologize, and killing a person to celebrate when the fight is lost. Countless people were killed by him for no reason, and the real killing was like hemp. It made the maids and attendants worry all day long, and the ministers dared to be angry with him, and made the people complain.
Fortunately, the wicked will eventually have evil retribution.
One day in February of the nineteenth year of the calendar (969), Yerushalayim was very happy to catch a large black bear while hunting, and he was very drunk. As a result, when he woke up hungry in the middle of the night, he asked the attendant to quickly take something to eat.
But there was still food in the middle of the night, so the waiters and cooks who did not dare to be idle hurriedly lit a fire in order to get the food on the table as quickly as possible.
The drunken Jeroboam did not know whether to speak drunkenly or truthfully, and said casually, "You slaves want to starve me to death, and tomorrow I will kill you all." Then he fell asleep again.
The waiter and the cook's faces turned pale in an instant, and they wondered whether they should take this food in, going in would mean death, and not going in would also be death. Several people, in total, simply joined forces and rushed to the tent and hacked Yelü Jing to death. Then he scattered and fled, and when Jeroboam died, he Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old.
Since then, why should we sleep for a long time when we are born, and sleep naturally after death, this sentence is most appropriate for Yerushalayim.
