耶律察割耶律婁國耶律重元 Yelü Chaguo, Yelü Louguo, and Yelü Chongyuan

婁國，字勉辛，文獻皇帝之子。 Louguo, whose style name was Mianxin, was a son of Emperor Wenxian.

及察割作亂，穆宗與屋質從林牙敵獵計，誘而出之，婁國手刃察割。 When Chaguo rebelled, Muzong and Wuzhi adopted the linya Dili's stratagem to lure him out, and Louguo killed Chaguo with his own hand.

穆宗沈湎，不恤政事，婁國有覬覦之心，誘敵獵及群不逞謀逆。 Muzong drowned himself in wine and neglected affairs of state; Louguo began to covet the throne and incited Dilie and other malcontents to plot rebellion.

婁國不能對。 Louguo had no answer.
