The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

As the New Year approaches, with the return of population in Xijing City after the war, more were Khitan nobles who fled in the past. The lords and tyrants of all races of all races were flocking in, and merchants from all walks of life returned with the stability of the war. In Datong, the place has returned to its former prosperity, but under the surface, there is a surging undercurrent. Most of the discussions on the streets and alleys are about the gathering of four Daliao princes in the city, guessing who will become the new master.

At the same time, the officialdom of Xijing City also changed. The position of Xijing inspector Xiao Chongxin was unexpectedly removed and was replaced by Liang King Yelu Yali's personal soldier, the governor of the capital, Xiao Chala, also several times. According to the report, Yu Liyan was only temporarily left behind in Xijing, and should now give way to King Yelu Yali of Liang." "Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster! .

Yelu Xinilie, who had been silent before, became active. His former Xijing subordinates went to Liangcheng to ask for a mountain to go out to take control of Xijing again; and in addition, some old ministers who fled from Yanjing gradually gathered in Xijing, and these people had The soldiers gradually became a force in Xijing, and they also wanted to support Yeluding ascend the throne in Xijing...

"Sir, something will happen if Xijing continues like this. You should make up your mind early!" Xiao Chongjie, the young lord of Yuanzhou, sneaked into Xijing City a few days ago and drilled into Xiao Chala's mansion. Today, the Xiao family in the city gathered here with great strength. Discuss the matter of establishing an heir.

"We can control less than 10,000 troops now, even if we add less than 20,000 private soldiers from each family, it is not an advantage compared with the other two sides. Yelu Yuxi has been talking, and he does not support it. Which side!" Xiao Chala sighed.

"This old fox, he didn't express his attitude, just to make us fight for both sides and get profits!" said Xiao Pei, the great elder of the Xiao clan of Xijing.

"I think it's not just that simple. He is as deep as the last emperor. How could he make his sons the main one? I'm worried that he wants to become king!" Xiao Chongjie said after drinking a sip of wine. The situation is becoming more and more complicated now. They remotely controlled a prince's plan to go bankrupt. Now they can only settle for the second best, and set Yelu Yali as the main one, which made him very unwilling to accept it.

"Well, with this kind of kěnéng, he first established the princess of Shu Kingdom to preside over Xijing, and used her hand to suppress our Xiao family. When the time is right, he can replace it. Ziji takes over, otherwise why would he not insist on taking King Zhao as the left-behind!" Xiao Chala thought for a moment and said.

"Yes. He had this idea. But now Ziji shot Ziji in the foot with a stone. He didn't expect Ziji's people to rescue King Liang and others!" Xiao Gupu, the former military envoy of Xijing, said with a sneer.

"I heard that the King of Zhao was pulling him and promising him to be the King of the North Court. We cannot take it lightly. Ruguo He turned to either side, which is very unfavorable to us. At this moment, we'd better not turn against him, don't I forgot that there are 3,000 Dezhou troops stationed in Xijing City. That has always been a powerful force!" Xiao Pei said.

"Why can we pull him? You can't let him be the emperor!" Xiao Chongjie said. It was because of Yelu Yuxi's intervention that Ziji lost everything, so he hated him to the core.

"We can also take a step back. As long as they agree to King Liang as the main, we can also give him the Northern Court to him, King Zhao, King Qin, and King Xu can retain the title. We can provide according to the old rules!" Xiao Chala said, with Dezhou The army is a scumbag compared to their little soldiers. Now perhaps only the Dezhou army can compete with it, once Yelu Yuxi agrees, they are simply turning over.

"The Qin King has also contacted me many times, hoping to unite our Xiao family to squeeze out the power of King Zhao, and then establish King Liang as the main force. They only want to have a foothold in one state. Do you think it is feasible?" Xiao Pei casually said.

Say.

"The King of Qin and King Zhao are in Xijing. We need our assistance in everything. We will not be afraid of them repent!" Xiao Gupu nodded and said.

"That's right, I'm afraid they will fight with us after they gain a foothold. At that time, it's just a difficult time to send God to the gods!" Xiao Chongjie said. The joint force of the two armies can enhance their strength, but if they don't do it well, they will raise tigers.

.

"Hmph, after talking for a long time, how to resettle the princess of Shu in the future? Now she is very popular with the people. Once she is in trouble, it will also cause chaos in the people. At that time, Yelu Yuxi can quell the civil strife and then transfer the army into the city. With the inside and outside, she will cooperate with each other.

Who can resist us!" said an old man turán, who had been sitting under Xiao Chala's right hand.

"What the Prime Minister said is that Ruguo cannot appease the princess, and she will not refuse her position to deal with it. Please give me some advice!" Xiao Chala said quickly. This old man should not be underestimated. He once took charge of the Southern Privy Council and was in the Xiao clan.

China has always had prestige and is one of the most powerful players in Xijing.

"For more than 200 years since the founding of the Khitan, the Yelu family and the Xiao family have been in charge of the country's affairs. Yelu is the emperor and Xiao family has become the queen!" Xiao Xianpu said, "Who is the main focus of the West Beijing is the family affairs of the Yelu family, and our Xiao family is not easy for us.

If you are too involved, just follow the rules!”

"My lord means to jump out of the circle, avoid fighting, and marry with them. No matter who ascends the throne, it will only benefit us, and it will not harm our Xiao family!" Xiao Chala once again showed Xiao's servant

Confirm.

"Yes, although our Xiao clan is a descendant, he has also taken charge of the country!" Xiao Xianpu nodded with a smile.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone fell into deep thought. The Khitan formed the original marriage form of Yelu and Xiao family intermarriage in the era of primitive tribes. Later, after the founding of the Khitan Kingdom, it followed the mutual marriage system between the two surnames.

The original marriage tradition remains unchanged and continues to this day.

After the emperors of the Liao Dynasty married, especially when marrying their original wife, they could only choose within the Xiao family. The nine emperors of the Liao Dynasty, except for the Zhen family of the two empresses of Shizong Yelu Ruan, who were Han people, were always in Xiao.

Inheritance within the clan family. By the time of Liao Sheng, Xing and Daozong, this situation reached its peak. Since the empresses of these three emperors all came from Xiao Taogui, the family of Luping's father's clan, "one family and three families" appeared.

After”.

Xiao Xianpu's words gave everyone a glorious and bright future. He said it was true that in the history of the Liao Dynasty, the era when the empress dowager was in power and was in power, was also the most glorious moment for the Xiao family. Now everyone is thinking about ziji

The master of the family, and entered a dead end in this chaotic situation, but forgot the glory of the Xiao family. Since they can also take power, why should they stick to the situation?

"The advice of the Master is very good. It can not only get rid of our dispute over the throne of the Yelu clan, but also make our Xiao clan stable!" The great elder Xiao Pei expressed his opinion first.

"Everyone is ruguoméiyou's objection, so let's act accordingly!" Xiao Chala also agreed. Although some of them were unwilling to accept it, at this time, méiyou nodded with a better way.

"The concubines of several princes were fleeing, either captured by the Jurchens or scattered. Even Yelu Yuxi's wives and concubines were gone. We can take the opportunity to marry each other. Any daughter who is of the right age in each room is not married.

We can be negotiated!" Xiao Pei made a decision.

"I have a granddaughter who has not married, and his virtuousness can be selected!"

"My daughter has a sixteenth year, which is also considered one!"

"The elder brother passed away, and the widowed sister-in-law was not married, so she happened to run for the election!"

"My family has two sisters who are not married, so you can also give them a choice!"

"My three daughters just divorced and haven't found a suitable family yet. They just happened to choose a good son-in-law!"...

Seeing that the plan was decided, everyone recommended Ziji's daughter, granddaughter, and girls, whether it was the widow of her husband's death or the divorced Erguotou, they all threw it out. Everyone was a relative, and it was a bit messy. His granddaughter was

The second cousin of the Yelu family's boys may have to call them uncles. This is still good, and it is not méiyou who is three or two generations away!

If this is done in the Central Plains, it would be **. It is all materials to soak the pig cage and sink to the pond, but among the Khitans, this is too normal. Their marriage situation still retains the traces of the original marriage system.

The marriage between cousins ​​and the confusion of generations occurring within the family. The phenomenon of marriage between nephews and uncles, nephews and aunts and nephews can be said to be common. After the husband dies, his wife will be married by younger generations in the family, and even granddaughters will marry grandfathers.

There are, too.

The Emperor Taizu of Liao, Abaoji, married the queen Shuluping, who was a cousin and sister. Their daughter, Princess Zhigu, later married Shuluping's younger brother Xiao Shilu, and married Xiao Wen, the queen of the nephew and uncle.

It is the daughter of Shuluping's younger brother Xiao Shilu and Yelu Deguang's sister Princess Zhigu, and also his uncle married his niece. Xiao Wen is both Shuluping's granddaughter and her daughter-in-law.

Sect’s daughter Sage only married Xiao Xiama, and Daozong married Xiao Xiama’s sister Xiao Sitan as Concubine Hui. This was the marriage between father-in-law and son-in-law’s sister.

This kind of marriage, unclear seniority, is the most criticized form of marriage among the Han people, but it is considered a matter of course in the eyes of the Khitans. Not only is it not ashamed of this marriage custom, but it is considered a matter of

For righteous and open things, you can be a place of honor...

The family will appear as the queen, which is a great honor, so the people of the Xiao clan pushed their women to the front of several princes, but they are royal families, and they will not put them into the house like they are rags.

, it is still necessary to be a good match, especially for such political marriages, which need to be picked. Of course, the daughters of famous families such as Xiao Xianpu and Xiao Chala are still benefiting.

After a few days of busyness, things came to an end. Xiao Xianpu did not look at his age, but he quickly took the lead. His two granddaughters became the princess of King Xi Nilie of Zhao, and the other became Yelu Yuxi's wife;

Cha La got the moon first when approaching the water tower, and was not willing to be outdone and stuffed Ziji's daughter into the arms of King Yelu Yali of Liang; how could Xiao Chongjie be willing to fall behind in this kind of good thing? He gave up his prejudice and re-formed a united front with his third brother, and booked his sister Xiao Dexin for his

King Yeluding of Qin; the great elder was one step slower, but took down King Xu Yeluning!

But before the matter was over, their eyes were aimed at a few unmarried princesses, thinking of kissing them again... (To be continued.)
