Chasing historical dramas, it is natural to want to know the real experiences and endings of the characters in the drama in history. Today, let's talk about the historical prototype of the role of "Yelü Jing" in Yan Yuntai.
"Yelü Jing" is known as "Liao Muzong", was the fourth emperor of the Liao Dynasty, and his father was Liao Taizong Yelü Deguang, the second son of Liao Taizu. At that time, Liao Taizu crowned his eldest son Yelü Bei as crown prince, but Yelü Deguang stole his brother's throne because of the help of his mother Empress Shu Jinping. However, Yelü Deguang did not succeed in passing the throne to his son Yelü Jing, but was retaken by yelü Nguyen, the eldest son of his brother Yelü Bei.
It was only four years after Yelü Nguyen ascended the throne that he was killed, when both of Yelü Nguyen's sons were still youngest sons, and the eldest Yelü Nguyen was only four years old. At this time, the throne was smoothly in the hands of Yerushalayim. It's just that this Yelü Jing is not an emperor material, and in the early days of succession, Yelü Jing knew that his position was unstable, and there were too many people around him who wanted to sit as emperor. So he spent eight years forcefully suppressing those people, and finally secured the throne for the time being.
This man had no foresight, and after he knew that his position was secure, he was not alert. Coupled with the previous exclusion of dissidents, he almost had a mental breakdown, and he relied on drinking alcohol every day to release stress. Later, he had a hobby of alcoholism. In addition, Jeroboam had three hobbies: hunting, drowsiness, and killing.
Long periods of alcoholism and drowsiness snubbed the government in the later years of Yelü Jing's reign, causing dissatisfaction from many sides. Not only that, but after drinking alcohol, he also became very cruel, and he loved to kill people every time he drank too much. The record of his killings is shocking to watch!
"Thirteen years of the first month of the calendar, killing orcs in the sea." In March, mirigi, the deer killer, was beheaded to show the deer. In June, the killers dismounted. In November, the Lord of the Killing Man. ...... In February of the fourteenth year, the deer people did not answer, and seven people, including Haili, were in the wild. ...... In March of the fifteenth year, Yu Ren sharadi was killed by the punishment of cannon burning and iron comb. ...... In September of the sixteenth year, the werewolf was killed. ...... In April of the seventeenth year, the Eagle Killer arrived. In May, the deer killer Zag. In June, he disbanded Brother Man Shou and Nian Gu and killed forty-four deer people. In October, the killer urges you. Kill the Shrews Abuza, Yuru, Shuri, and Neriku. Kill the deer Tang Guo, Zhi Ge, and Sala. In December, the hand killed the man in the sea, and restored it. ...... In March of the eighteenth year, the killer Hutru. In April, the killer copied only. In June, the slayers were slaves. In December, the drunkard took the limelight."
In addition to the innocent killing of some lowly subordinates, Yelü Jing also killed his close attendants many times.
"In August of the tenth year of the calendar, he killed the near-attendant Gu Brother with the Zhenyin Stone Fox. ...... In June of the thirteenth year, the near attendant wounded the roe deer and killed him with a staff. ...... In March of the fifteenth year, the near attendant Dong'er entered the dagger from time to time, and stabbed it with his hand. In December, he returned to his wife and killed his wife. Ding Wei, killed the nearby attendant Suilu. ...... In November of the seventeenth year, he killed The Imperial Guard. ...... In March of the eighteenth year, he killed shi Hua Ge and the prisoners in the sea, and still filed the corpses in the sea. ”
Yerushalayim also listened to the witch's rumors that he would use the courage of a man to make an elixir of immortality. So many men died for this reason. And Jeroboam was also childless because of his sleepiness and alcoholism. There is also a legend that he was ill from an early age and could not produce children.
Originally, Yelü Jing's succession brought the throne back into the line of Emperor Taizong of Liao, but Yelü Jing personally buried it. Because of Jeroboam's unbridled killing, he eventually killed himself. Yelü Jing's close attendants were afraid and resentful of him, and finally on March 12, 969, Yelü Jing's close attendants joined hands with the cook to hack the drunken and unconscious Yelü Jing to death with a kitchen knife.
Yerushalayim was only 39 years old when he died, and after him, Yelü xian was favored by his courtiers and succeeded to the throne as emperor. The throne was back in the vein of Jeroboam.
