"In the palace, only zhao family makeup is counted, and the rain and clouds are mistaken for the king of Han!" Only a piece of the moon was known, and he had spied Fei Yan into Zhaoyang! ”
The picture shows Xiao Guanyin as beautiful as a flower when he was young
How did Empress Xiao in history die?
Why did she die, and why did her death make future generations feel sorry for her?
Logically, she had not made a big mistake before she was alive, and she was still an empress, so why did Liao Daozong still want to brutally kill this woman?
First of all, let's talk about the woman Empress Xiao, whose original name was Xiao Guanyin, was the wife of Liao Daozong and the first empress of Liao Daozong.
She was a Khitan and was born on February 15, 1040, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the ninth year of Chongxi.
He died on December 23, 1075, the third day of the first month of November in the first year of the Reign of Dakang.
At the age of 16, under the unanimous recommendation of his father and his courtiers, he became a concubine of the King of Liang, and the following year, after Emperor Daozong of Liao ascended the throne, Xiao Guanyin was honored as Empress Xiao by Emperor Daozong of Liao because of her talent and dignity.
At that time, after Emperor Daozong of Liao ascended the throne, because he was still very young and did not have any real power in his hands, the politics of the Liao state, including some economic lifelines, were controlled by a group of old ministers who followed the previous king.
To put it ugly, it is controlled by these old ministers, although Liao Daozong is nominally the emperor of the Liao state, but if the country has any important major events, the nominal emperor of Liao Daozong must consult with these old ministers before making a decision.
Therefore, the Liao Daozong basically lived under the control of these old ministers and wanted to rush out of the shackles, but there was nothing they could do.
At that time, there was a man named Yelü Yixin in the dynasty, who was intelligent and alert, and who was in charge of the judiciary of the Liao Dynasty, who tilted his power to the opposition, and used the power in his hands to mutilate many good ministers, and many ministers of the Liao Dynasty were once slandered by his rumors.
At that time, many ministers reported him and reported some of his crimes to Liao Daozong.
However, Liao Daozong was very important to Yelü Yixin, mainly because Yelü Yixin was a villain who would exaggerate in front of Liao Daozong and shoot some of his horses, which made Liao Daozong very happy.
Therefore, when a minister under the imperial court examined some of Yelü Yixin's crimes with the Liao Daozong, instead of blaming him, he defended Yelü Yixin.
Since then, Yelü Yixin has had the umbrella of the Liao Daozong and has acted arbitrarily in the DPRK.
Empress Xiao, as the wife of Emperor Daozong of Liao, was dignified and virtuous, and after hearing about Yelü Yixin's crimes, she was very dissatisfied and censored his crimes, so she asked Liao Daozong to revoke Yelü Yixin's rights and not let him act recklessly, so as to avoid cholera.
After hearing this, Emperor Daozong of Liao felt that what Empress Xiao said was very reasonable, so he removed the right of Yelü Yixin, but the title of magistrate remained, only removing some of the control rights that were harmful to the government.
Therefore, Yelü Yixin hated Empress Xiao very much, believing that this woman was harming him, and always wanted to find excuses to take revenge.
He was a man who had his teeth and was as vicious as a vendetta, believing that the power seized by Emperor Daozong of Liao was all harmed by Empress Xiao, so he remembered and hated Empress Xiao.
At that time, Empress Xiao was still the first empress who had just been crowned by Emperor Daozong of Liao, because she was good at poetry and books, and her words and deeds were dignified and elegant, so she was very popular with Emperor Daozong of Liao.
Yelü Yixin did not have any chance at all, and he made false accusations to Emperor Daozong of Liao and framed Empress Xiao.
However, with the passage of time, Liao Daozong began to like the new and dislike the old, and Empress Xiao grew older and older with her posture, and Liao Daozong's favor for Empress Xiao became less and less.
Empress Xiao, who was alone in the harem, began to be a little lonely, and became more and more lonely. Liao Daozong was the king of a country, and the natural harem was indispensable to a more beautiful woman than Empress Xiao, so it was understandable that Empress Xiao would not be favored as she grew older.
To this end, in order to win the favor of Liao Daozong, Empress Xiao deliberately wrote a poem back to the Heart Temple and sang it to Liao Daozong, hoping to exchange his happiness.
However, it was such a poem that became the handle for Yelü Yixin to frame Empress Xiao.
In order to frame Empress Xiao, Yelü Yixin spent a lot of money to bribe her servant Shan Deng, and on the grounds that Empress Xiao was the only one to hook up with Zhao, she was alone in the cold palace lonely and empty, and committed adultery with others.
After being known to Emperor Daozong of Liao, emperor Daozong of Liao, who was furious, believed that Empress Xiao did not keep the way of women, so he executed her.
December 23, 1075, was the last day of Xiao Guanyin's life.
On this day, the land of the Liao Kingdom was covered with snowflakes, the weather was very cold, and the cold and bone-chilling cold wind blew into Empress Xiao's bedchamber from the outside, confusing the curtains in front of the palace.
The bone-chilling wind blew loudly, and several palace people stood coldly in front of Empress Xiao's bed, while Empress Xiao sat on the ground with a dead face, she did not expect that her husband Liao Daozong would kill herself because of this.
Without thinking about the old love of the husband and wife, without any evidence of her only adultery with Zhao, she moved to kill herself.
After receiving the will of Emperor Daozong of Liao, several palace people quickly strangled Empress Xiao to death with a white aya.
The final winter of that year, December 23, 1075, became the last stop in Empress Xiao's life, and she died at the age of thirty-five.
After Empress Xiao's death, Emperor Daozong of Liao did not seem to be relieved, and ordered the palace maid to strip The clothes of Empress Xiao's corpse, wrap it naked on a mat, and send it back to the Xiao family.
Even if Empress Xiao died, he would humiliate her.
According to historical records, Empress Xiao was framed by Yelü Yixin, but Emperor Daozong of Liao did not know it, so much so that he mistakenly killed Empress Xiao.
The fate of a talented and talented Empress Xiao was so tragic after her death that it was really a little regrettable.
From a certain conclusion of history, although the death of Empress Xiao was framed by people, in the feudal history of ancient dynasties, the death of a generation of empresses was so miserable, it can be said that it is somewhat unbelievable.
If Empress Xiao could find strong evidence, then Liao Daozong might not have executed Empress Xiao, but was this really the case?
To know that Empress Xiao's death was actually between the thoughts of The Liao Daozong.
Because everyone knows that under the ancient imperial ruling class, the power of the king is the greatest, above one person, under ten thousand people, can control the life and death power of all people in the world, naturally, Xiao Guanyin even as an empress, his first wife, is inevitable.
There is an old saying that the king wants his subjects to die, and the subjects have to die, which is the truth.
Empress Xiao brought her into the endless abyss because of a ten-spice poem, in fact, she blamed herself, just became the handle of others, and this person who framed him, Yelü Yixin, was still her enemy.
In her later years, Empress Xiao was old and fading
Empress Xiao at a young age
Yelü Yixin was also to frame Empress Xiao, but also painstakingly, often paying attention to Empress Xiao's every move, as long as he found Empress Xiao's handle, as an enemy, he would definitely kill Empress Xiao fiercely.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Empress Xiao would be killed by him.
