In the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, a dark-skinned palace maid is making her bed. Suddenly, she found a golden rooster in the corner of the bed, and when she saw that there was no one around, she swallowed the golden rooster into her stomach. After a few days, her skin turned out to be radiant, and even Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned.
Xiao Yunjin was originally an ordinary palace maid in the Liao Kingdom, but because of her dark skin, she was regarded as an unpopular person in the Liao Dynasty, which valued her fair skin.
One day, while serving the Empress Dowager Xiao, she accidentally found a golden chicken-shaped object in the room.
Out of curiosity, she put it in her mouth, and as a result, her skin became fair and delicate.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao asserted that she would give birth to a proud son of the sky, so she ordered her to have sex with Emperor Liao Shengzong.
Liao Shengzong had no love for Xiao Yunjin, and only completed his mother's life, and never summoned her again.
However, a year later, Xiao Yunjin really gave birth to a son, named Mu Gu, and later changed his name to Yelu Zongzhen.
Liao Shengzong named her the concubine, but it was his queen Xiao Bodhisattva who was favored.
In order to let his son receive a good education, but also worried about the influence of his biological mother, Liao Shengzong handed over Yelu Zongzhen to the queen to raise him.
Xiao Yunjin is extremely ambitious and unwilling to be just a concubine.
She framed the queen in front of Liao Shengzong many times, intending to be favored, but Liao Shengzong and the queen had a deep relationship, and her plan failed.
Liao Shengzong made an edict before his death, making the queen the queen mother and Xiao Yunjin the concubine.
But the edict was stolen and hidden by her, and after the death of Liao Shengzong, she forced the new emperor Liao Xingzong to canonize her as the only empress dowager.
Xiao Yunjin, who established herself as the queen mother, was powerful, and she first took the opportunity to send someone to kill the queen Xiao Bodhisattva when she was out hunting in Liao Xingzong.
Later, he rewarded his own relatives and tried to control the government.
He even intended to depose Liao Xingzong, set up his youngest son as the emperor, and listened to the government by himself.
This caused dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, but because Liao Xingzong was difficult to attack his biological mother, no one could control her actions.
One day, Xiao Yunjin's youngest son, Yelu Chongyuan, overheard his mother and uncle plotting a plan to depose his brother.
He couldn't bear to see his brother being seized of power, so he informed Liao Xingzong of the news.
Liao Xingzong designed to invite Xiao Yunjin to go out for summer vacation, and took the opportunity to lead troops to besiege the palace, put Xiao Yunjin under house arrest, and took back her seal power.
After that, Xiao Yunjin was imprisoned in the deep palace and had no chance to turn over.
Liao Xingzong also never visited his biological mother.
Until Liao Xingzong, who was over forty years old, died before Xiao Yunjin, Xiao Yunjin was still indifferent to the news of his son's death.
It's so ironic to think that the golden rooster made Xiao Yunjin climb to the sky one step at the beginning, but her excessive ambition finally harmed herself.
If she is content to give birth to a prince, perhaps the honor of the imperial concubine is enough, and if she puts aside her views of power and asks for the lives of the people, she may be remembered by future generations.
Just because she was arrogant and wanted to be in power and dictatorship, she eventually caused endless disasters and ruined her reputation.
Since then, the Liao Dynasty has frequent civil strife and the country's power has declined.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Xiao Yunjin's poisonous plan that the royal family changed and the imperial power was unstable, which gave foreign enemies a chance.
