She was nicknamed Wu Zetian of the Liao State, and she was the Empress Dowager Cheng of the Liao State. She reigned for more than twenty years, and with her outstanding political ability, the Liao Dynasty entered the most prosperous and glorious period in the two hundred years of ruling the Central Plains. Perhaps in the fabrication, she is remembered as "Empress Xiao", "Empress Xiao" iron fist to run the Liao government, in that chaotic and uncertain era, the Liao state choked the throat of the Song people, so that they were defeated by the Liao power, she was the liao state in this territory conquest of the second hero, she was the Khitan lady.
She is "Empress Xiao", but when the curtain of history is unveiled, we can see the woman with the surname Xiao, who has a distinct personality in her life, and she dances beautifully on the bloodthirsty throne. Add a little blood red to the ancient red face.
Xiao Qi, the small character Yan Yan, what a feminine name, "Yan Yan Yu Fei", but did not want to use the swallow body to support the soul of the phoenix, creating an inexhaustible palace Huaguang.
"Yan Yan Yu Fei, Poor Pond Qiyu"
Swallows fly in the sky, jagged and spread their wings. The Bali clan was given the surname "Xiao" by the Khitan Taizu Yelü Abaoji, and thus began the wealth of the Xiao clan. Yan Yan's father, Xiao Siwen, married Princess Yanguo, the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Liao, and her eldest daughter and second daughter were married to the Imperial Family, respectively. Xiao Siwen followed the Three Dynasties, and the Xiao family and the Liao royal family already had a constantly sheared silky wisp.
When she was young, Xiao Qi did not think that her fate was also closely related to TheRayot, and she grew up like the usual daughters. It's just that along with her there is also a heavenly aura, her eight-sided exquisite has long been known in the bits and pieces of life, and her father Xiao Siwen also looks at her eyes and carefully ponders her daughter. The gradually good appearance, the graceful posture and the characteristic blushing cheeks of the daughter's family are becoming clearer and clearer on Yan Yan's body.
Han Zhigu was once a Han chinese who was captured to the Liao State, but he single-handedly served as a Zhongshu Ling, and the Han clan's lintel prospered, and the han clan's sons also prospered because of this, and Han Zhigu's son Han Kuangsi stayed in Nanjing in the Liao State and was crowned king of Qin after his death. Han Zhigu's grandson Han Derang served as an official in Tokyo and was promoted to the post of Governor of Nanjing, becoming a vassal of the party. When Han Derang was still a teenager, he met Xiao Yanyan, who had just shown her daughter's posture. The two men are talented and feminine, and they are no different from the fairy tales that have been passed down.
Xiao Han and his two families were both powerful courtiers in the DPRK, and naturally they were willing to marry this family affair, so the two were also married by the words of their parents. Xiao Yanyan truly admired Han Derang, and at that time, Han Derang was also an extraordinary, extraordinary and transcendent young man, how could he not make people's hearts move? Xiao Yanyan thought that with the shanmenghai oath and the agreed ceremony, she could "marry a husband and wife with a good person, and there is no doubt about love and affection."' In her heart, she also silently made a vow of "life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc".
At that time, she naively imagined that Han Dejang was the destination of her life in addition to her mother. The best time for a woman is spent looking forward to the talented young man, and after all, it is just a funny scene. The imperial power was on top, and the eyes on the throne had already been aimed at the Xiao family and valued Xiao Qi.
The daughters of the Fan Xiao family were almost inseparable from the Jeroboam family. In February of the nineteenth year of the calendar, Emperor Muzong of Liao led Xiao Siwen and his close ministers to hunt in Montenegro, and after being drunk, Emperor Muzong of Liao was killed by his close attendants, and Xiao Siwen helped the emperor's second son to take the throne, and from then on, Xiao Siwen became a red man in front of Emperor Jingzong of Liao, and his contribution to the power of the Lord was indispensable, and Emperor Jingzong of Liao added him to the rank of knight.
The new emperor ascended the throne, the six palaces were vacant, and the position of the middle palace was still uninhabited, which naturally provoked people to criticize, and in order to hold real power and control the world, the empress of the Liao state could not do without. There is no doubt that in the emperor's heart, Xiao's daughter is naturally the best choice. Xiao Shi has been a noble and powerful vassal since Taizu, and coupled with Xiao Siwen's contribution to helping the new emperor ascend the throne, it is difficult to say that the Xiao family entered the Middle Palace and served as the world's leisurely people. The emperor spoke his inner thoughts to Xiao Siwen, and Xiao Siwen carefully considered it. Her daughter Xiao Wei was the best candidate, and as early as her childhood, Yan Yan had already shown a talent that other sisters did not have. So sending her to the palace was a matter of moments of relaxation.
When Xiao Yanyan heard that her father was going to send herself to the palace, she struggled to resist and resisted death, but her father's cold eyes did not look like the gentle and elegant manners of her daily life. Father said that the emperor is extremely powerful, if the emperor orders you to enter the palace, you can only be grateful to Dade for the will of heaven, there can be no objection, if you say that there was a marriage contract with the Han family, the emperor asked, the Han family did not dare to say a word, the Xiao family and the Han family's relatives, against the Mandate of Heaven will be abandoned after all.
The determination of his father's words, Xiao Wei listened to the grief, since ancient times, women as women, women as wives are not self-righteous. Xiao Yanyan wept and looked at her. In March of that year, Xiao Qi entered the palace and was immediately crowned as a noble concubine, and two months later, he was crowned empress, "once he entered the palace, the door was as deep as the sea, and from then on Han Lang was a passerby." Xiao Wei blew the cold wind that belonged to the empress at night, thinking about the past when she was still Yan Yan, and the face of Han Derang could not help but come to mind, and the people who flashed the light were unattainable.
Xiao Qi was like the swallow that had just flown, just spreading its wings in this exquisite palace, the young feathers had not completely faded, the powerful and slender feathers had not yet grown, and the dream was broken and reshaped when it was the most painful.
"Yan Yan Yu Fei, Jie Zhi Zhi"
The swallows flew up and down, their postures up and down. In May of the second year of Boryeong, Liao Jingzong went hunting in Lushan, but Xiao Siwen's companion was murdered. The death of his father was the collapse of the pillars of the entire Xiao family. When Xiao Yu, who was far away in the palace, heard the news, he lost his words for a moment and fell into silence, and the sky and the earth were all gray. Xiao Yu pessimistically thought that all the things he cherished were slowly moving away from him, Han Derang was, and so was Xiao Siwen.
Maybe she Xiao Siwen left Xiao Siwen alone to get rid of the pain and there was still room to return, and she could definitely stand on her own in this palace, but the Xiao clan could not, Xiao Siwen was their heaven, and when the sky collapsed, people would also be buried under heavy dust and could not breathe. After her father's death, Xiao Wei grew up rapidly, and her aura and exquisite wisdom were not worn down by time. Gradually, she was completely more than just an empress at the side of Liaojingzong, although Xiao Qi bore children for him, but Liaojingzong was frail and sickly, xiao Qi had enough wisdom to govern the country for him.
With the acquiescence of Emperor Jingzong of Liao, Xiao Yu had full authority to decide the affairs of the Liao State, and the chancellor of the Han Dynasty decided with her on the affairs of the military state, and Emperor Jingzong of Liao later only replied to "know" to the whole process. In February of the eighth year of Boryeong (976 AD), Emperor Jingzong of Liao sent an edict to the Scholar of the History Museum, after which he recorded the empress's words, "also known as '朕' and 'give'", and "took it as a definite form", raising his wife's status to the same level as his own.
Providence made people, Liao Jingzong also died at the age of thirty-five, at that time Xiao Qi was no longer a little girl who was easy to be sentimental, she only lamented the impermanence of life, although Liao Jingzong was not the young Lang Jun that Xiao Yanyan first admired, but he was Xiao Qi's husband, Liao Jingzong knew Xiao Qi, and he did not just limit Xiao Qi's identity to his wife, the empress of the Liao Kingdom, he knew that she used her to value her. Perhaps as far as Liao Jingzong was concerned, Xiao Qi was more like his adviser than Yan Yan's Qingshi. It seems that Xiao Qi is not the wife he is looking for for himself, but the national instrument he is looking for for the Liao country, the national instrument is precious and authoritative, and the fate of the country is formed, and the two benefit.
Emperor Jingzong of Liao left a testament after his death: "King Longxu of Liang ascends the throne, and the military affairs obey the empress's orders." Twenty-nine-year-old Xiao Qi, with his twelve-year-old young son, began to stand on top of the Liao Dynasty. And Xiao Yanyan's beloved Fei Langjun when he was young had long since shed his recklessness, and in the first year of Qianheng, Han Derang had meritorious service in resisting the Northern Song Dynasty, serving as a privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, becoming the most powerful person among the Han courtiers. Emperor Jingzong of Liao died and Emperor Shengzong of Liao ascended the throne, and Xiao Shu appointed him in charge of Suwei. Han Derang once again entered Xiao Qi's life, and also allowed those who wrote history to add a red face to the mixed story.
Three years after reunification, Han Derang also served as a government decree and fully entered the core of the Liao's decision-making. At that time, Emperor Jingzong of Liao had just died, and Xiao Qi, with his young son, fell in tears in front of Han Derang and other courtiers and said: "The mother and widow are weak, the clan is strong, and the border defense is not quiet, so why not?" Han Derang looked at the woman in front of him, who had been promised to him in her teenage years. If it is said that the marriage contract was made because of the order of his parents, he did not have a heart for such a delicate and transparent woman, which is absolute nonsense. Xiao Qi, at that time, her parents and sisters still liked to call her small characters "Yan Yan". When Han De let him first hear the word "Yan Yan", he remembered the "Yan Yan Yu Fei" in the "Book of Poetry" that read: "In the end, it is gentle and beneficial, and Shu is cautious." He also thought that she would eventually marry herself", "the son of Yu Gui, Yi Room IKEA". He was also very happy with such a woman, and as the wedding date approached, he heard that his wife would marry the imperial family overnight, saying that it was possible not to hate, but at that time, the Han family was a subject who had to bow his head under the power.
Now that the emperor had left his widowed mothers and orphans alone, han derang was different from the past, and his powerful ministers were bowing to his disciples, and he had the ability to help Xiao Wei Naxian consolidate the Liao kingdom.
The fierce name of "Empress Xiao" began to manifest from this moment on, Xiao Qi came to listen to the government and opened up territory for the Liao, the former Great Song Dynasty is now in ruins and withered, and the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" are stirred up in the hands of the Khitans, which is a great shame for the Han people, but for "Empress Xiao" it is a powerful empirical evidence that her legendary life has been written. The swallow flew higher in the sky, but the fire of the phoenix's nirvana was ignited around it, and Xiao Qi was a "phoenix life" That no one could deny!
"Yan Yan Yu Fei, down to its sound"
Swallows fly in the sky, and the sound of the song is low. With the assistance of Han Derang, Xiao Yu was very successful in the court of the Liao State, and at that time, the world was in turmoil, and he could also win the khitan people the prestige of good war. Xiao Wei also personally fought against the Song people, when the Song Dynasty saw the orphans and widows of the Liao State sitting in town and felt that it was a good time to retreat from the Liao in one fell swoop, and Song Taizong launched the "Yongxi Northern Expedition" against the Liao State, causing a series of damages to the Liao State. Xiao Yu naturally could not bear it, personally put on a battle robe and crossed the war horse, the long sword pointed directly at the Great Song army, she fought extremely fiercely and wisely, defeated the Song army one by one, recovered all the territory lost by the Liao state, and later signed the "Alliance of Liaoyuan" with the Song Dynasty.
The historical "Alliance of Liaoyuan", mostly viewed from the perspective of the Song Dynasty, is the Song Dynasty's bow to the Liao State, and from the perspective of the Liao State Xiao Qi, it is naturally a meritorious deed. Han Derang also contributed greatly to the Battle of Liao and Song Dynasties. There are rumors depicting the unspeakable friendship between Xiao Wei and Han Derang, which is a warbler and swallow that historical officials are happy to see, but it has lost its authenticity in people's word of mouth, perhaps the friendship between Han Derang and Xiao Wei is really not bound by the ethical guidelines, but whether the story of being too deviant can happen at that time is unknown.
Not long after Liao Jingzong's death, Xiao Yu privately said to Han Derang: "I promised you a good time, and I wished to reconcile the old and be good." And be the lord of the kingdom, that is, your son." She gave Han De the name of Yelü Longyun, which was also an affirmation of his identity. Liao Shengzong's "Father's Affair" treated him like a father, and Ye Shi said that Xiao Qi ordered someone to secretly kill Han De's wife Li Shi, adding a bit of mystery to Xiao Qi's love history. However, no matter how Han Derang was a hundred years later, hiding on the side of Qianling to accompany Xiao Qi, he also witnessed Xiao Qi's affection for Han Derang.
If Xiao Qi was just that Xiao Yanyan, then she would definitely accompany Han Derang and "Yi Room IKEA" with him, but she was still "Xiao Qi", and it was fate for her to marry into the imperial family to take charge of Liao state affairs. Everyone has the right to make up for the regrets of youth, Xiao Wei also has, she has a hundred responses in politics, and it is difficult to stop the daughter mentality of love affairs, it is a fortunate thing to meet Xiao Qing, Liao Jingzong is, Han Derang is, Liao Guo is, and so was that era.
