According to The Account of Emperor Muzong of Liao, he ascended to the throne by suppressing a rebellion. In September of the fifth year of Tianlu, after the Fire God Dian Rebellion and the murder of Emperor Yelü Ruan of Liao, Emperor Taizong's son Yelü Jing took the opportunity to suppress the rebellion, seize the throne, and become the fourth emperor of the Liao. However, Emperor Muzong of Liao suppressed the rebellion by cutting the rebellious Yelü Cha and cutting his flesh to pieces, and the means were cruel, which showed that he was quite brutal when he did not ascend the throne.

Yelü Jing was a famous emperor and tyrant in Chinese history. Through the introduction of Liao Muzong, it can also be understood that he was an emperor who liked to hunt, drank and ignored the government. Every hunting season he would stay in the mountains for a long time. Drink after hitting the prey, go to sleep after drinking until you are drunk, continue hunting when you wake up, and so on.
Liao Muzong was very persistent about wine, he not only drank in the palace, whether it was a minister or a commoner's family, as long as there was good wine, he would personally drink it, and when he was happy, he would randomly reward people. But he was not close to a woman, which also led to him having no heirs, and there was no way, so he had to find the fallen Jeroboam as his heir.
During his reign, rebellions to seize power were frequent, social order was extremely chaotic, and the lives of the people were even more miserable. There were not a few people who wanted to rebel among the relatives and nobles and the cities, so Emperor Muzong of Liao ruthlessly ordered the killer, sparing only a few people close to each other, and the rest were executed. There are many other killing methods of Liao Muzong, such as secondary noodles, cannon burns, sticking combs, etc., which can really be described as extremely cruel.
According to The Biography of Emperor Muzong of Liao, Emperor Muzong of Liao was killed by several lowly subordinates around him, and he was killed after he was drunk and asleep, at the age of nine Chinese New Year's Eve. But we can also infer that such a cruel, disobedient monarch, and arbitrary will not end up with a good ending.

Why is Liao Muzong Yelü Jing called the Sleeping King?
As the fourth emperor of The Liao, during his reign, The Liao experienced one of the darkest periods, a period of eighteen years in total. He was a well-known monarch and tyrant in history, and after coming to power, he slackened off in managing the government. There is a certain reason why Liao Muzong Yelü Jing is called the Sleeping King.
As for the question of why Liao Muzong Yelü Jing was called the Sleeping King, there are certain records in history. After he became emperor, he always felt that his position was stable, and he indulged in singing and dancing day and night. At night, he ate, drank, sang, and danced, and slept until late the second morning, and even ignored the imperial court
thus got the title of a sleeping king. Liao Muzong Yelü Jing was also very obsessed with hunting, and he went hunting regardless of the season, no matter which season of the year, as long as he was happy, he would take his entourage to hunt. During the safari, he also drank wine and ate meat, and Liaomuzong Yelüjing's interest in hunting was very high, and each travel tour took seven days and nights to end.
Because of excessive drinking, Liao Muzong Yelü Jing's physical foundation became worse and worse, but he did not repent and wanted to seek the elixir of immortality, but in the end he did not find this magic medicine, but caused his body to become worse and worse, and his temper became worse and worse, and he dragged out and beheaded when he saw who was not satisfied. Since then, no one has dared to talk about why Liao muzong Yelü Jing was called the Sleeping King. His cruelty to the attendants around him was seen by everyone, and at the end of his life, the servants beside him and the cooks used kitchen knives to kill him in his sleep, and Liao muzong Yelü Jing was not very old in the year he died, and Chinese New Year's Eve nine.
Liao Muzong could not sleep close to the woman when he saw the bed
As the fourth emperor of The Liao, during his reign, The Liao experienced one of the darkest periods, a period of eighteen years in total. He was a well-known monarch and tyrant in history, and after coming to power, he slackened off in managing the government. There are also some problems in his private life, the most prominent of which is that Liao Muzong can't sleep close to women when he sees bed. This cannot be said to be a shortcoming, but as a generation of emperors of the Great Liao, this is indeed a very prominent feature.
In the historical records, it is recorded that Liao Muzong could not sleep close to the female color when he saw the bed, and his most prominent ability was to sleep, especially the sleep that paid great attention to health. The time of sleep in a day is the longest, sleeping with his head covered, sleeping heavily, all kinds of sleeping methods he has tried again and again, and in life he has reached the point where he can fall asleep when he sees the bed. It can be seen that it is really very appropriate for everyone to give him a title called "Sleeping King" to describe his "housekeeping skills". In all the daytime time of Emperor Muzong of Liao, it was almost a process of sleep, and there was very little way to manage the government.
Perhaps because of his obsession with sleeping, Liao Muzong could not sleep close to a woman when he saw the bed, and there were no many concubines in his harem, in fact, only the empress was alone. However, although there was only one person, it should be said that he was a special favorite, but Liao Muzong rarely paid attention to his empress, and he was even more indifferent to other women. He also hoped that the ministers in the imperial court would follow his example in this style, and those who disobeyed him would be punished by death. After his death, he also did not allow his queen to be buried, so it seems that it may have something to do with the degree of his obsession with sleep.
