Yelu Hongji's funeral was very grand, and tens of thousands of people attended the funeral, not counting the officials and Khitan nobles who could not come from other places.

Yang Huairen is now a concubine, and he no longer has to get together with the envoys of various countries who attended the funeral, but has always stayed by the princess's side.

But the ceremony of the memorial was carried out from before dawn to near noon, the process was very complicated, and the sacrificers dressed as gods and demons took turns to pray on the stage, and the way of prayer was like dancing a god, and Yang Huairen almost laughed out loud.

In the end, Yelu Bawotai wept bitterly and personally supported Yelu Hongji, transported the coffin containing Yelu Hongji to eight horse-drawn carriages, and escorted the body of the first emperor by the Su guards, out of the north gate of Dading Mansion, and sent to the underground burial of the Khitan ancestral source in Shangjing Road.

Of course, when Yelu Hongji's coffin was sent out of the north gate, there was also a procedure, which was to line up Xiao Sabi's family outside the north gate, and force them to confess their sins when the coffin and carriage passed by.

In fact, most of the family members of Xiao Sabi's father and son didn't know that Xiao Sabi was going to assassinate the first emperor and rebel, where did they have any guilt to complain about?

But under the punches and kicks of the Su Guards, they had no choice but to do what others said.

Even so, as soon as Yelu Hongji's coffin carriage passed, hundreds of five big and three thick sword and axe men came up, and the general of the guard gave an order, and the sword and axe men raised their knives at the same time, and at the same time shouted and cut down.

The crying and screaming stopped abruptly, and hundreds of decapitated bodies slowly fell down with bright red blood, and the hundreds of heads, when they rolled down, rolled into a pool of blood with the most miserable and innocent appearance in their lives.

The scene is really tragic and unbearable. But even so, the onlookers cheered and cheered, as if those who had their heads cut off were their enemies.

This is not the end, the person whose head was cut off is accused of rebellion, and he cannot be collected and taken back for burial.

The guards brought in several truckloads of firewood, set fire to a huge mountain of firewood outside the city gates, and threw the bodies and heads of the men into the flames, leaving them to be burned to ashes.

This may be done to show everyone that those who plot rebellion cannot be buried in peace.

The people actually looked at the raging flames and shouted loudly, so that Yang Huairen really couldn't stand it, this practice of the Zhulian Nine Clans was really inhumane.

Next, the whole country of Liao mourned for seven days, and at the same time forbade celebrations such as marriage.

Seven days later, it was the enthronement ceremony of Jeruvarwotai.

Compared with Yelu Hongji's funeral, Yelu Bawotai's rank ceremony is much simpler, Yang Huairen didn't understand at first, whether the rules of the Khitan people are like this, or Yelu Bawotai deliberately low-key enthronement, he is a little unclear.

It's just that another chamberlain recited Yelu Hongji's edict to Yelu Bawotai, and the ministers bowed three times and bowed nine times, and Yelu Bawotai officially became the new emperor of the Khitan.

In Yang Huairen's eyes, Yelu Bawotai was very calm, but in his eyes, he still couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, his dream came true, and he must have a feeling of being in a dream.

This was followed by the first great pilgrimage after Yelubawotai ascended the throne.

In fact, in the days when Yelu Hongji died, the usual state affairs and political affairs were already handled by Yelu Bawotai, and after he ascended the throne, he had a reputation, no matter what he said or what he did, it seemed that he really had confidence.

This first great court meeting, of course, will not deal with those tedious and trivial things, first the ministers and envoys of various countries took turns to congratulate the new emperor of Yelu Bawotai on the throne, and then the new emperor began to give several wills.

The first is about the future affairs of the court, which is the same as when the previous emperor was in power, and the new emperor did not plan to make much changes.

The ministers listened to the decree and shouted long live, they knew in their hearts that the old and the new alternated, and what they were most afraid of was that the decree was not uniform, the courtiers did not need to change the habits that had been formed long ago, and the people below did not have to worry about changing the decree.

This is Yelu Bawotai's desire to stabilize the political situation at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and it is not difficult to understand this. As for his personal vision for governance, he has enough time to change and realize it slowly.

The second way is to issue a three-year reduction in the nation's tax, and to grant amnesty to the whole world, except for those who do not amnesty and murderers, the rest of the prisoners in prison can be released.

The ministers once again shouted long live, this is also a convention, the new emperor ascended the throne, naturally to win the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are the top priority.

The three-year reduction actually had no impact on the state treasury, because in the Song Dynasty, taxes and taxes were separated, and taxes such as land taxes and commercial taxes went to the state treasury, while the taxes went to the inner treasury.

The people were given a reduction in taxes, and the people got the actual benefits, and the court did not have any losses, but the royal use would be reduced, that is, the emperor gave up the money levied on the people to enter the inner government within three years, but the income of the royal family decreased, and that's it.

In fact, the royal family and nobles themselves are very rich, and every family has their own pastures, fields, cattle and sheep, and the levy of the people is not the bulk of their income.

As for amnesty, that's the rule. The so-called great evil was the remnants of Xiao Sabi, who had to participate in the rebellion, except for them and the murderers, the rest of the criminals in the prison could be released, which also increased the production labor force of the people to a certain extent.

The third way is to reward the meritorious men in the process of rehabilitation.

The first is to give Yang Huairen the title of king of the south, the two states of Mo and Mo, and ten thousand households.

Yang Huairen stood up to receive the decree and thanked him, and no one in the other ministers objected, originally giving such a high title to a Song people, the Khitan courtiers could not understand.

But they all experienced Xiao Sabi's rebellion and poisoning Yelu Hongji on the Bowl Festival, and knew that Yang Huairen had made great contributions in exposing Xiao Sabi's rebellion conspiracy.

And this reward is not because Yang Huairen is the new son-in-law of Yelu Bawotai, but it was mentioned as early as Yelu Hongji's edict.

The rest of the ministers and soldiers of the wolf army who had contributed to the rehabilitation also had their own rewards, and Yelu Bawotai was not stingy at all this time, and almost gave out all the gold and silver treasures seized from Xiao Sabi.

But this made the courtiers feel that the new emperor was gracious.

In the past, when Yelu Hongji was in power, the first half of the period was good, but when he got older, he began to become very picky, and the rewards for the meritorious officials in the court were mostly mere formalities and false names, but the actual benefits were not much.

Now that Yelu Bawotai has succeeded to the throne and rewarded the ministers for the first time, he was so generous, which made the ministers feel that it was a wise move to support him as the new emperor.
