Welcome to see this article on history of xiaobian, if you can bring you a little knowledge and analysis, it is the honor of xiaobian, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!
Empress Xiao (萧陳), who fought against the Song Dynasty, was too famous, her son was Liao Shengzong, Liao Shengzong had two empresses, Xiao Bodhisattva was the second empress of Liao Shengzong Yelü Longxu, was named Empress Qi Tian, and was posthumously honored as Empress Rende.
And the history books do not record too much about the first empress of Liao Shengzong, the empress's family lineage is not available, about when Liao Shengzong was young, she was an empress for about fifteen years, because after the young and beautiful Xiao Bodhisattva entered the palace, she was demoted to a noble concubine, just to give way to Xiao Bodhisattva.
As for the outcome of the first empress of Liao Shengzong, there is no record in the history books, and it is not known whether the fierce Empress Xiao killed her. Empress Xiao took a fancy to the chancellor Han Derang and killed Han Derang's wife.
Emperor Shengzong of Liao, whose name was Manjushri, was the longest-reigning emperor of the Liao state, reigning for 49 years. He was born in 971 and died in 1031 at the age of sixty.
Born in 983, Xiao Bodhisattva was forced to commit suicide in 1032.
Liao Shengzong was twelve years older than Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, and at first glance he was not the original couple.
Why when Brother Xiao Bodhisattva grew up to be a flower-like maiden, the original empress had to give way to her, it was because she was from a prominent birth, Xiao Bodhisattva's aunt was Empress Xiao, and her father was Xiao Kuiyin, Xiao Huan's younger brother. And her uncle was Han Derang, the prime minister who had an affair with Empress Xiao.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva was beautiful and talented, and at the age of twelve, he was elected to the court as a concubine. In the nineteenth year of reunification, when she was sixteen years old, she squeezed out the original empress and was crowned empress of Qi Tian.
So in the same year the first empress was demoted to a noble concubine. The reason for this is self-evident.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva not only had a beautiful appearance, but the Liao Shengzong was very fond of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva. Xiao Bodhisattva is good at playing the pipa, Liao Shengzong is also good at music rhythm, the husband and wife have a common hobby, and they are very happy to play and sing.
There is no 100% happiness in life. Brother Xiao Bodhisattva gained wealth and love, but not in terms of heirs. Both of her sons died of illness at an early age.
So Xiao Bodhisattva adopted the two sons of Xiao Yunjin, a palace man, as his own, and carefully raised them, and it is said that Xiao Yunjin and his son were not allowed to meet casually.
Therefore, Xiao Yunjin, who lost his son, held a grudge in his heart. Xiao Yunjin was also not an ordinary person, she was the granddaughter of Empress Chunqin's younger brother Agu V, although she was also a descendant of a foreign relative, but the gentleman's Ze, the fifth and beheaded. It just so happens that Xiao Yunjin is already in the fifth generation, and his family lineage has long declined.
Empress Chunqin was a very strong empress, she was the wife of the founding emperor of the Liao state (the empress of Liao Taizu), she drove away the eldest son in order to make her second son emperor, and when Liao Taizu died, Empress Chunqin killed all her important subjects and martyred them, allowing her second son to inherit the throne.
Xiao Yunjin's temper is also strong, much like her aunt of the first five generations.
Although she entered the palace as a concubine, Xiao Yunjin was not beautiful, black and fat, and she was an ugly woman. When she was a palace maid, it is said that after she picked a golden rooster to take, her skin became white and tender, and her appearance became beautiful, but it was still not as beautiful as Empress Xiao Bodhisattva's peerless beauty.
Therefore, Liao Shengzong liked the beautiful empress Xiao Bodhisattva and did not like the ugly concubine Xiao Yunjin.
Because Xiao Yunjin was ugly and unloved, Xiao Bodhisattva ordered the ugly daughter Xiao Yunjin to serve the Liao Shengzong and gave birth to two sons, Yelü Zongzhen and Chongyuan.
Since then, these two children have become the concubines of Empress Xiao Bodhisattva, and their status has been different ever since.
The appearance is not good, but Xiao Yunjin's fertility is very good, and she has several daughters.
Xiao Yunjin was made a Shunsheng Yuan Concubine because her son was a prince, which was also a compensation for the empress to have a son, but she was still very dissatisfied with Xiao Bodhisattva. Although she framed Empress Xiao Bodhisattva many times, Emperor Liao Shengzong disagreed.
Liao Shengzong was a coward, and when he was critically ill, Empress Xiao Bodhisattva was waiting for him at his sickbed, and the powerful Yuan Concubine Xiao Yunjin rushed into the emperor's palace and scolded Empress Xiao Bodhisattva: "Your good days as an old slut are coming to an end." ”
Emperor Shengzong of Liao and Empress Xiao Bodhisattva did not dare to speak, and wept relatively.
Not long after, Emperor Shengzong of Liao died, leaving a testament for his son Yelü Zongzhen to inherit the throne, for Emperor Xingzong of Liao, Empress Qi Tian as Empress Xiao Bodhisattva, and Xiao Yunjin as a concubine.
However, Xiao Yunjin did not obey the edict and established himself as the empress dowager, and also obeyed the government and monopolized the power of the imperial government. Brother Xiao Bodhisattva had no choice but to sit still. She could only defeat the enemy by relying on her aunt Xiao Qi, but unfortunately her aunt had already died of illness.
Now that it was finally Xiao Yunjin's world, she framed Brother Xiao Bodhisattva and her brothers for rebellion, arrested And put to death All of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's mother's family, and also executed Empress Xiao Bodhisattva.
However, Emperor Xingzong of Liao was raised by Empress Xiao Bodhisattva and still had feelings for her adoptive mother, and Emperor Xingzong of Liao said: "The empress served the former emperor for forty years, worked diligently, and should have been honored as the empress, but now not only has she not been made empress, but she will be executed for treason, which is too unreasonable." ”
Xiao Yunjin said calmly: "This woman is alive and will become a trouble." ”
Xingzong also interceded for his adoptive mother: "The empress is old and childless, even if she is alive, there is no harm." ”
Unfortunately, it was Empress Xiao Yunjin who held the power of the imperial government, and the young Xingzong was just a puppet like the Guangxu Emperor.
Xiao Yunjin escorted Empress Xiao Bodhisattva to Shangjing and sent someone to kill her.
Empress Xiao Bodhisattva said sadly, "I am innocent, and everyone in the world knows it." When I'm done bathing, kill me again, is it okay? ”
The messenger withdrew, and by the time he returned, Empress Xiao Bodhisattva had already committed suicide.
Later, Xiao Yunjin did not like the eldest son Xingzong and wanted to depose Xingzong and make her younger son Chongyuan emperor, but Chongyuan was also raised by Empress Xiao Bodhisattva, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunjin's execution of Xiao Bodhisattva, so he went to Xingzong to report this matter.
Liao Xingzong was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. He staged a palace coup, arrested Xiao Yunjin and put him under house arrest and killed all her attendants.
An enraged Emperor Xingzong of Liao took Xiao Yunjin's empress dowager Fu Xi and moved her to the Seven Palaces in Gyeongju.
After a few years, Emperor Xingzong of Liao restored Xiao Yunjin's status as empress dowager for filial piety, and took her back to be raised, which was very filial piety.
But the mother and son were still at odds, Xiao Yunjin still hated Xingzong, and when Xingzong died, she was not sad at all, and advised Xingzong's empress not to be sad. Emperor Xingzong's son ascended the throne and made Xiao Yunjin empress dowager.
After a few more years, Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin also died of illness. She lived longer than her son.
Xiao Yunjin was later known as Empress Qin. Xiao Bodhisattva was revered as Empress Rende and buried with Empress Qinlai in Qingling.
