"I was born to be useful, and I will come back when all the money is gone." In the past five thousand years in China, many women have become heroes in people's eyes. Hua Mulan joined the army for her father, and the woman ran to the battlefield, and Qin Liangyu became the first female general to be knighted because of her military achievements. Although they are women, they are also like men, dashing and heroic, creating brilliance
。 The historical Empress Xiao Yanyan only married one emperor in her lifetime, he was the Liaojing Emperor Yelüxian of the Liao Kingdom, Yelüxian was not in good health, and Yelüxian died at the age of 35. Before yelü Xian died, he was dying to entrust orphans, Yelü Xieyun and Han Derang were made the ministers of the orphans, and let Xiao Yan take the throne, when her son Yelü Longxu was only 12 years old, the lord was suspicious of the country, Xiao Yanyan, in order to be able to smoothly grasp the government, took her son to the court and shed tears in front of the heavy ministers Yelü Xieyi and Han Derang, saying: "The mother and widow are weak, the clan is strong, and the border defense is not quiet, why not?" Han Derang and Yelü slanted down and swore a solemn oath, "Trust the ministers, etc., what to worry about." ”
Xiao Yanyan was born in 953, the small character Yan yan, the name Xiao Qi, she is the young daughter of Xiao Siwen, a heavy minister of the Khitan clan, who is serious and responsible when she is young, and has a spirit of not giving up on the purpose, Xiao Siwen once praised this woman for her future appearance. Xiao Siwen was a well-known speculator, he had 3 daughters in his lifetime, for his own future, he married 2 of the three daughters to the two younger brothers of Muzong of liaoguo, the little daughter Xu was mated to Han Derang, Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang were also in love, but after Yelüxian succeeded to the throne as emperor in 969, Xiao Siwen married the younger daughter Yanyan to Yelüxian.
Yan Yan was reluctant, but at that time the woman could not control her own marriage, and for political reasons she was forced to marry Yelüxian Liaojingzong, and was first made a noble concubine, and then made empress in early May of the same year. Because of his poor health, Emperor Jingzong of Liao often asked Yan Yan to read the recital in his place, and in order to raise his wife's status to be as high as his, Emperor Jingzong of Liaojing collected the words of the empress to record the words of the empress. With the acquiescence of Emperor Jingzong of Liao, all major military and state affairs were handled by Xiao Yanyan, and if there were important military affairs Xiao Yanyan would convene the ministers for consultation, she would make a decision, and Liao Jingzong only "knew" about her decision and did not intervene in any way
Under the administration of Xiao Yanyan, the Liao state began to strengthen militarily and the political economy began to stabilize. After Yelüxian's death in 982, Xiao Yanyan, in order to win over Han Derang to serve her, reconciled the two, and the relationship was warm, Xiao Yanyan once let Han Derang sit on an equal footing with her to receive diplomatic envoys, but she still did not marry Han Derang. The two of them were still de facto husband and wife, titular monarchs.
The relationship between Empress Xiao Yan and Han Derang, if it was a great rebellion in the Song Dynasty at the same time, would be reviled by the world. However, even if Empress Xiao married Han Derang again in Daliao, the Daliao people would not point fingers at her, because it was very normal for Daliao women to divorce and remarry, and their thinking was not limited by the three principles and five constants. Some people say that Empress Xiao married 6 emperors in her lifetime, and that Empress Xiao should be Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang, who became Yu Wenhua and Shu Concubine after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande's favorite concubine, the princess of two generations of Turkic kings, and later the Zhaorong of Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, Empress Xiao's marriage to 6 emperors was only made up by the person who wrote the book. Because Empress Xiao was 50 years old when the Sui Dynasty fell, she was not a half-old Xu Niang, even if her posture was good, Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande could not spoil an old man in his 50s, but they only controlled it. Later, at the request of his wife Princess Yicheng, the Turkic king welcomed Empress Xiao back from Dou Jiande and helped Empress Xiao's grandson Yang Zhengdao establish a political power, with the capital dingxiang. After the Turks were destroyed by Li Shimin in 630, Li Shimin welcomed Empress Xiao back and let her live in Chang'an. Some people say that Li Shimin coveted Empress Xiao's beauty and crowned her as Zhaoyi.
Empress Xiao was already 63 years old at this time, and moreover, the daughter of the Sui Emperor had once married Li Shimin, and Li Shimin would not be even pampered with his old mother-in-law. In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Empress Xiao fell ill and died, and Tang Taizong buried her next to the tomb of the Sui Emperor. Empress Xiao married 6 husbands in her lifetime, in fact, it is not established, but she can survive intact after experiencing the chaotic world, it is indeed not simple, when the Tang Dynasty was established, the people who wrote the book in order to carry forward the patriotic spirit, vigorously praised the Tang Dynasty at the same time, but deliberately smeared empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, so that later people can not judge the authenticity of history, so that the historical figures can not be judged by the narrative of the yanyi, because the yanyi commentary is not a true historical portrayal.
Empress Xiao and Empress Xiao were not the same person, Empress Xiao Yanyan only married one husband in her life, although she had a warm relationship with Han Derang, she did not marry Han Derang. It is worth mentioning that Empress Xiao was also a famous politician and military expert, and the "General Guide to the Continuation of Zizhi" very objectively affirmed the merits of Empress Xiao of Chengtian: "Ming Xi political affairs, can use good strategy, Su Xian military brigade." Yuanyuan into a car, refers to the three armies, rewards and punishments, and soldiers use their lives! "It created the glory of the Great Liao State and left the imprint of not letting the eyebrows be raised in the long history of China for five thousand years." As a poem says, "Ercao Gong is destroyed with the name, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted." "Xiao Yanyan's credit is something that no one can erase.
