Xiao Guanyin was not only an empress, but also a famous female poet of the Liao Dynasty. She is not only beautiful and charming, with a face that has fallen into the country, but also she has an outstanding temperament and is very talented.
Xiao Guanyin likes to compose poetry and lyrics, although she has not left too many works, but her literary achievements have a certain ranking in history, in addition, Xiao Guanyin plays a good pipa, and she is also quite accomplished in music.
In short, Xiao Guanyin was raised by the Xiao family according to the standards of the Empress of the Liao Dynasty, and was a very perfect talented woman. In fact, The Liao Daoist Yelü Hongji also liked music and poetry very much, and loved Chinese literature.
Therefore, he and Xiao Guanyin have a lot of common language in terms of hobbies and interests, and Xiao Guanyin is much loved after marrying Yelü Hongji. After Yelü Hongji ascended the throne as emperor, xiao Guanyin was soon crowned empress. The relationship between the two after marriage was very good, and soon Xiao Guanyin's son Yelüjun was born.

Yelü Hongji and Xiao Guanyin were happy and happy, Xiao Guanyin could have been a pampered empress for a lifetime, but why did she end up with such a tragic ending? Historically, she capsized because of the famous "Ten Fragrant Words Case", in which it is necessary to mention another person: Yerushalayim.
King Yelü Yixin of Zhao had great power in the imperial court, and he used his power and position to take bribes and do all kinds of bad things, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand. Because emperor Yelü Hongji of Liao daozong loved the empress very much, he made his son Yelüjun crown prince when he was eight years old.
As the little prince grew up, the power in his hands gradually became larger. Gradually, the power struggle between Yerushalayim and Yerushalayim began. The struggle between the imperial courts was very fierce and cruel, and the contradiction between the crown prince Yelüjun and the Zhao king Yelü Yixin was also getting bigger and bigger.
Yelü Yixin knew that if Yelü Jun ascended the throne in the future, he would certainly not let himself go. At that time, you will not only lose everything, but even put your life in it.
Therefore, Yelü Yixin began to think about how to shake the position of Yelüjun's crown prince, so that Yelüjun could not become the emperor, and even tried to get rid of this big problem. Yelü Yixin knew very well that the reason why Emperor Yelü Hongji of Liao daozong attached so much importance to the crown prince was because he loved the empress very much.

So Yelü Yixin began to look for opportunities everywhere to find a way to separate the relationship between Yelü Hongji and Xiao Guanyin's mother and son. Although Xiao Guanyin was an empress, she was often worried that Yelü Hongji would snub her.
She discovers that Yelü Hongji has alienated herself after a hunt, which makes Xiao Guanyin very disappointed and sad. She wanted to find an opportunity to please the emperor and make him continue to value herself. Xiao Guanyin knew that Yelü Hongji loved literature and music, so he wrote a poem for Yelü Hongji.
After filling it out, she had to compose music for the lyrics, but Xiao Guanyin was embarrassed, and she suffered that there were no musical talents in the imperial court to help her. At this time, Empress Xiao discovered a musician with superb flute playing skills, Zhao Wei.
Xiao Guanyin asked Zhao for the only help, completely admiring his talent, and had no other thoughts. However, the two lang talents and women, Zhao is the only one is a very handsome talent, the two fill in the lyrics together, it will inevitably cause speculation from others, which makes Yelü Yixin, who is eager to stir up dissension, seize the opportunity.

Because he was snubbed and wanted to relieve his worries, Xiao Guanyin once wrote "Huixinyuan" and the seven-word "Huaigu" for this purpose, and the content of the poems was not abnormal, but it was borrowed by Yelü Yixin to play.
Yelü Yixin plotted to kill Empress Xiao's mother and son, and in order to make Yelü Hongji believe in himself, he ordered someone to write the Ten Fragrant Words in disguise. This word is vulgar and obscene, and the purpose is to frame Empress Xiao for fornication and infidelity.
During the reign of Emperor Yelü Hongji of liao, he indulged in wine and always black and white. This time, after Yerushalayim wrote the book, Yelü Hongji was indeed confused. As the king of a nation, how could Yerushalayim endure the wrath of being wearing a green hat.

In the face of Xiao Guanyin, who was once deeply loved by him, Yelü Hongji completely forgot about the previous marital feelings, and couldn't help but say that it was a punch and kick to Xiao Guanyin. Yelü Hongji was in her prime, and Empress Xiao, who was not in good health, could withstand such a beating, and was almost beaten half to death by Yelü Hongji.
However, just beating him could not eliminate the anger in Yelü Hongji's heart, and in order to avenge this non-existent green hat, Yelü Hongji ordered Empress Xiao to be killed. For this confused Yelü Hongji in front of him, it was useless to let Xiao Guanyin explain it.
In the end, Xiao Guanyin was killed by a white silk. After becoming a country, Xiao Guanyin died unjustly in this way, which was caused by yelü Hongji, who was the emperor, listening to rumors.
After Empress Xiao's death, the body was sent to her mother's house, and Yelü Hongji used this to humiliate the entire Xiao family. Losing his mother, the crown prince Yelü Jun was not a rival of Yelü Yixin, and Yelü Yixin took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to frame Yelü Jun.

He falsely accused Yelü Jun of plotting to usurp the throne, and at this time Yelü Hongji had no intention of thinking about it carefully, and after listening to the rumors, he involuntarily sent his son to prison. In the prison, Yelü Jun was assassinated by Yelü Yixin, so that all the mother and son of Empress Xiao who blocked Yelü Yixin's path to power were eliminated by him.
A few years later, Yerushalayim ascended the throne as emperor. Xiao Guanyin was yelü Yanxi's grandmother, and it was only then that Mo Xue, the mother and son of Xiao Guanyin, were thoroughly investigated. Later, Yelü Yixin's henchmen and accomplices Zhang Xiaojie were killed, and Xiao Guanyin was posthumously honored as Empress Xuanyi and allowed to bury Qingling.
However, fate made a joke with Xiao Guanyin again, and it was difficult to get a burial place, but many years later, the iron horse of the Jin Soldier came, opened The tomb of Empress Xiao, and threw the body of Empress Xiao into the street for trampling.
Empress Xiao's fate was really very tragic, and even after death, she could not get rest in peace, which was very impressive.
