Who says a princess can't be an emperor? The only princess in history to be an emperor and princess, who died of fornication after 15 years of reign

The emperor has been a symbol of the highest power of the country since ancient times, and the female emperor, who is well known as Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, but some people believe that The Northern Wei Empress Feng and the Qing Dynasty's Empress Dowager Cixi are also included in the ranks, they are also the people who hold the imperial power in the palm of their hands, but these people control the country through the empress. On the other hand, the princesses of various dynasties are relatively peaceful, and there is no historical record of which princess seized power and sat on that throne, even if the Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty once wanted to compete with her nephew for power, and finally lost, did not realize her desire to take power. Today we will talk about the woman who sat on the supreme throne as a princess, she is the daughter of the founder of the Western Liao.

Speaking of this Western Liao Dezong we may feel strange, he is a descendant of Liao Taizu, a very talented minister at the end of the Liao State, after the Liao State was destroyed, he fled all the way to the present-day Central Asia region with his men and established the historical Western Liao State, but he still used the era name of the Liao State, which can be regarded as a continuation of the history of the Liao State. After the founding of the country, Yelü Dashi first adopted the strategy of recuperation and recuperation, slowly strengthening his national strength and increasing his reserves, and after his strength was strong, he began a policy of foreign expansion, gradually subjugating some small countries in the surrounding areas to the west, and recapturing part of the territory of the former Liao state from the Jin kingdom to the east.

Even if it has been expanding by foreign armed forces for many years, as long as the land he has laid, it has adopted a relatively loose policy, which has continuously improved the living standards of its domestic people, so that the country's strength has continued to increase. After his death, Yelü Dashi was succeeded to the throne by his young son, but because he was still ignorant, the ministers agreed to the regency of Empress Xiaota. However, she changed the name of the country by taking real power and crowned herself as the "Empress of The Heavens". Therefore, the history books regard her as the second emperor in the history of the Western Liao. During her reign, she continued to govern the country along her husband's political lines, which further strengthened the Western Liao and became a Central Asian power.

After 7 years of reign, Empress Gantian returned the imperial power to his son, but Yelü Yilie reigned for a short time, only 13 years, at the time of his death, his son was still very young and could not handle state affairs independently, in order to let the power not be manipulated by outsiders, Yelü Yilie wrote a will to let his sister, that is, the princess at that time, Yelü Pusu followed the example of his mother Empress Xiaota Buyan, first for the country for his son to grasp the state power, and then return the power to him after his son understood things.

After Yelü Pu quickly took power, he chose to change the name and title of the country according to the way xiaota did not smoke, but after thirteen years, she directly called herself emperor, that is, the "Emperor Chengtian" in the history books. However, this is nothing for them, because the Western Liao is a Khitan ethnic group, and the rights of men and women are not as feudal as in the Central Plains, and women will not think that women have no right to participate in political deliberations, not to mention that like this princess, her father is the founding emperor, and her mother and brother are very courageous and capable emperors, and she is also intelligent and courageous. During her reign, the national strength of the Western Liao reached its peak, of course, this was inseparable from the early governance of Yelü Pu.

However, after becoming emperor, Yelü Suo gradually had some of his own careful thoughts, and he couldn't help but secretly communicate with the little uncle. As a female emperor with both ability and power, even if others knew about this kind of thing, they could not blame her, after all, it was not a very serious matter for their nation. However, she killed her current husband with a plan after the adultery, which made her father-in-law intolerable, her father-in-law was not a fuel-saving lamp at that time, he was an old minister of the Western Liao, very powerful, after learning that his son was killed by his daughter-in-law, he was very angry, and immediately launched a coup d'état, commanded the army to kill the palace, killed the two people who killed his eldest son, and set up his grandson Yelü Zhilugu to sit in the position that everyone looked up to.

After such a change, the national strength of the Western Liao also went downhill, and the successor Yelü Zhilugu did not have the majesty of the previous emperors, fainted and incompetent, and could not revive the national style. It didn't take long for The Western Liao to perish in his hands. If the princess emperor and the little uncle had not had an affair and had not killed their husbands, I don't think Xiao Hanli would have had an excuse to stage a coup d'état, if she could have sat on that throne longer. A more suitable heir to the throne may be found, and the history of the Western Liao may not have been destroyed so quickly. This is the only princess in history to sit on the throne, but in the end she also paid the price of her life for her own faults. Life is not so much maybe, everything will not start again, so what we have to do is to do what needs to be done in front of us, and even if we recall the present in the future, we will not feel regret it.
