When Li Ke used on his deathbed. Give his son Li Cunxu three arrows and ask him to fulfill three wishes for him. He conquered Liu Rengong , eliminated Zhu Wen, and led the Northern Expedition to Khitan.
In fact, Li Keyong and Yelu Abaoji once had a sworn relationship with Jinlan. However, interests came first, and eventually the brothers turned against each other. Although Li Cunxu likes to sing, he is also a famous God of War in the and Five Dynasties. He not only fulfilled his father's three wishes, but also founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, and is known as the Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty in history.
But after becoming the emperor. His passion for singing continued to increase, and he rewarded the actors around him lavishly. Operators were in charge both inside and outside the court. This led to widespread mutinies in various places. Li Ke used his adopted son Li Siyuan 's son-in-law Shi Jingtang to take the opportunity to persuade Li Siyuan to establish himself as emperor. Li Siyuan led troops to attack Luoyang, where he killed Li Cunxu and became emperor. Shi Jingtang made great achievements and successfully became the governor of Hedong.
After Li Siyuan died, his son Li Cunhou came to the throne. But he always felt that his eldest brother Li Congke and his brother-in-law Shi Jingtang had many troops and had evil intentions, so he wanted to weaken their strength. After hearing this, Li Congke was furious and led his troops straight to Luoyang. Shi Jingtang was unwilling to be the queen, so he immediately raised troops to capture Li Conghou and dedicated to Li Congke. But Li Congke simply killed Li Conghou and became emperor himself.
But after all, Li Congke is just Li Siyuan's adopted son. Doing things like this is neither justified nor justified. He is also afraid that the real son-in-law of the Li family is too powerful. Shi Jingtang once pretended to resign to test Li Congke, but Li Congke couldn't understand. Shi Jingtang could no longer pretend, saying that Li Congke's position was unfair and that he should give way to Li Siyuan's biological son Li Cunyi. Li Congke became angry and sent Zhang Jingda to attack Shi Jingtang, and also killed Shi Jingtang's two sons and a younger brother in Luoyang. This completely caused a falling out.
Shi Jingtang couldn't sit still, so he could do without fighting. However, he was not strong enough and couldn't beat him. Thinking that it would be better to find a helper, after some thinking, he chose a relative from the Khitan, but the Khitan was unable to afford it early. The Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang at that time had not forgotten the tragic experience of his father Yelu Abaoji's failure to go south, so he was reluctant to agree.
Shi Jingtang knew that it would be impossible without spending a lot of money, so he made an offer that Yelv Deguang could not refuse. First, profess vassalage to the Khitan and treat the Khitan with the etiquette of treating his father; second, give all the sixteen Youyun states to the Khitan; third, pay tribute to a large amount of property every year. Yelu Deguang's eyes shone brightly and he immediately expressed his support for Shi Jingtang. Overjoyed, he pointed to the stone outside the tent and said: Only if this stone is rotten can I change my decision. Shi Jingtang was overjoyed when he received the reply. He immediately proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, established the post-Jin Dynasty, and then presented Yelu Deguang with a map of the Sixteen States of Youyun. Yelu Deguang also sent troops to invade Luoyang and named Shi Jingtang the "Emperor of the Jin Dynasty". Shi Jingtang burst into tears with gratitude. Every time he wrote a letter, he called Yelu Deguang his father and emperor, and called himself his son, emperor . In addition to paying tribute every year, Shi Jingtang would also pay tribute to his father the emperor with a large number of rare treasures during holidays.
Yelu Deguang not only got the coveted Youyun Sixteen States . I also recognized an old son. (Although this old son is more than ten years older than me, he does not take advantage of him according to his seniority.) From then on, the Khitan forces moved south and entered Hebei and Shanxi. The ruling center of the Khitan Empire began to move south, and the southern dynasty completely lost its natural line of defense against the northern cavalry.
