Since ancient times, husband and wife's relationship has always been the closest relationship. As the saying goes, "A hundred years of cultivation can make you cross the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can make you sleep together."
But things in the world have been difficult to complete since ancient times. Many people have to watch the person next to their pillow die for various reasons. This is probably the most sad thing in the world.
In history, there is such a person who ignored his wife's life and death for a "husband woman". Is it because this "husband woman" is the queen? So how dare he compete with the emperor for women?
Talented and beautiful women
Northern Song , there were many dynasties, including Liao and Jin in the north, Tubo and Xixia in the west. Among them, the country with the highest legend, it still needs to talk about Liao Kingdom .
Because the Liao Kingdom not only has legendary men, but also legendary women, that is Empress Xiao .
Empress Xiao’s original name is Xiao Chuo . She has been a careful and serious girl since she was a child. When she was a child, a few sisters helped the housework at home. Other girls hurriedly deal with the matter, but Xiao Chuo was like obsessive-compulsive disorder, "You have to brush a plate seven times". After finishing the housework, you have to think half of it. What did you do well? Is there anything that needs improvement?
This scene was seen by Xiao Chuo's father Xiao Siwen , and he felt very relieved: "My daughter is definitely not an ordinary person."
In which era, the most important thing for a woman is to find a good husband's family, especially for a girl like Xiao Chuo who has both beauty and thoughts. Xiao Siwen must think carefully about her marriage.
According to records in Liao and Song historical materials such as "Cheating Records" and "Dynasty Facts Volume", at the beginning, the husband Xiao Siwen found for Xiao Chuo was his in-laws for generations, and the son of Han Kuangsi, the Han minister Han family, Han Delang .
Although the Han family is a Han Han , it also plays an important role in the Liao Kingdom. Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu and his father Han Kuangsi are all indispensable ministers in the hearts of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Han Kuangsi was later named King of Qin by Liao Jingzong .
Plus, the Han family and the Xiao family were in-laws for generations, and Han Derang's mother was a woman from the Xiao family, so he naturally became Xiao Siwen's first choice for a son-in-law. Perhaps the two soon "meet the parents" and the two families discussed the matter verbally.
But the plan always fails to keep up with the changes. A year later, Liao Muzong Yelu Jing went to Black Mountain to hunt. Xiao Siwen, as Yelu Jing's confidant, naturally also went there.
This Yelu Jing was a very arrogant and cruel emperor. He had a rebellion broke out in the early days of his succession, but it was put down. Yelu Jing felt that everything was fine. From then on, he indulged in his mood and fell asleep when he drank too much. He did not fall asleep much every day when he woke up, and received the title of " Sleeping King ".
This time I went out to hunt, so the same was true. After nightfall, Yelu Jing drank wildly and then slept soundly. Unexpectedly, the guards, cooks and others around him had long been disgusted with him. Today, he was "to get rid of this thief for the world."
After a random knife, Yelu Jing wailed a few times, and suddenly felt bitter on the spot. Xiao Siwen ran in and saw the movement and immediately killed her eyes. The "Sleeping King" couldn't wake up from now on.
But either Xiao Chuo is active in his mind and has hereditary inheritance. Xiao Siwen is such a person.
Xiao Siwen knew that it was useless to worry about Yelu Jing now. The key was what to do next. His eyes rolled and he thought of a countermeasure. He called Yelu Jing's nephew Yelu Xian overnight and recommended him to inherit the throne.
After returning to Shangjing, Yelu Xian also reciprocated and appointed Xiao Siwen as the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court.
It seems that this power transaction has ended, but Xiao Siwen doesn't want to lose Yelu Xian's help, and wants to tie him firmly to the same chariot.
What is the most effective method? Of course, it is a marriage, and those who marry must have enough persuasion.
After some thought, Xiao Siwen looked at Han Derang, my eldest nephew, I can only be sorry for you.
Meeting of old lovers
Don’t get me wrong, Xiao Siwen doesn’t want to marry Han De into the palace. Such an advanced artistic behavior is still difficult to be accepted by people. Moreover, what does the Han family’s entry into the palace have to do with him, Xiao Siwen.
What he thought of was to marry his daughter Xiao Chuo into the palace, but didn’t Xiao Chuo have made a verbal agreement with Han Derang in advance? Then I can only regret it.
Soon Xiao Chuo was sent to the palace. The daughter's offensive was indeed miraculous. In less than a month, Xiao Siwen became the prime minister of the Northern Palace and Xiao Chuo was the queen of the palace. Half a year later, Yelu Xian entrusted the full power of national affairs to Xiao Chuo on the grounds that he was in poor health.
, and Han Delang lost his love. From then on, he focused on his career. With his family relationship and Xiao Siwen's guilty care, he was named Dongtou Fengguan and was appointed as the candidate for the Privy Council .
For a time, everyone has a bright future.
Ten years later, Han Delang had already reached the high position of the Southern Privy Councilor and married a wife. Xiao Chuo also gave birth to three princes including Yelu Longxu and Longqing, and the position of the queen became more stable.
There seems to be no other intersection between Han Delang and Xiao Chuo except the rituals of the monarch and the ministers in the future.
It can be said that by chance, God seemed to be intentional in creating opportunities for the two of them, but Yelu Xian suddenly died.
Yelu Xian is indeed much more virtuous than his uncle Yelu Jing, but he also likes hunting like Yelu Jing. In this autumn, Yelu Xian went to Xianggu Mountain to hunt. However, he was not assassinated like Yelu Jing, but suffered from wind and cold, developed into a serious illness, and was eventually dying.
Han Delang got the news, regardless of whether Yelu Xian summoned him or not, and directly led the people to Yelu Xian's palace, wanting to fight for his future.
Sure enough, Yelu Xian was ordering the will to pass the throne to him and Xiao Chuo's son Yelu Longxu, and asked Yelu Xizhen to be the minister of life. When he looked up, he saw Han Delang coming in. Yelu Xian, who was slightly surprised, could only turn his mouth and let Han Delang and Yelu Xizhen be the minister of life together, and then he died.
Han Derang looked at the dead Yelu Xian, then looked at Xiao Chuo beside him, and couldn't help but sigh. Things are really impermanent.
Xiao Chuo also looked at Han Derang, and was a little panicked for a moment. He wiped his tears and cried to Han Derang: "The emperor is gone, but there are disobedient relatives in the country and strong neighbors around him. How can we orphans and widows live?"
(The mother and widows are weak, the clan is strong, and the border defense is not stable. What can we do? - " History of Liao·Biography of Concubines ")
Han Derang saw Xiao Chuo crying with the rain, and felt a little distressed for a moment, and said to Xiao Chuo with Yelu Xizhen: "Since the emperor trusts his ministers, this matter will be covered by us. You don't have to worry."
Then Han Derang asked Xiao Chuo to order in the name of Yelu Xian. It turned out that all the generals who led the troops outside changed their defenses. The princes of the Yelu family quickly went back to their homes to stay, not go out and run around, and were not allowed to meet in private, and gave them a "quarantine policy".
After completing all this, Han Delang and Xiao Chuo supported Yelu Longxu to officially ascend the throne. This was the Emperor Shengzong of Liao, and Xiao Chuo also became the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and he ruled the court on the grounds that the emperor was young.
For Han Derang, Xiao Chuo also seemed to have had his old love again.
There are so many troubles in front of the widow
At first, Xiao Chuo asked Han Derang to serve as the chief guard. Two months later, Han Derang's father Han Kuangsi passed away. Han Derang wanted to go home to mourn his father, but Xiao Chuo directly took Han Derang's love and appointed him, but he just refused to let him go home.
Gradually, Han Derang began to ignore it. He went in and out of the harem every day, staying there for most of the day, and no one asked him what he was doing. Anyone knew that this relationship was abnormal.
Just two years passed, and everyone knows the story of the two. Even the Song and Xixia outside were heard of. The border guard of the Song Dynasty He Lingtu also sent people to the Liao Kingdom to go to Beijing to inquire about information, but discovered a "big melon" that shocked the eye.
It turns out that since Han Delang hooked up with Xiao Chuo, the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he became. He obviously got a beautiful woman who was able to get more than ten years ago, but now he became a young woman and was only so sneaky every day. What's going on?
So Han Delang wanted Xiao Chuo to give himself a "feeling of ceremony" and also want a "fame", but Xiao Chuo laughed when he heard this, "didn't you marry too?" What qualifications do you have to dislike me?
As she spoke, Xiao Chuo's temper also came to his senses. He wanted me to give you a title, so you can go back and kill your wife. Otherwise, I will be the queen mother and I can't be a concubine.
When Han Delang heard this, he was shocked and was about to give up, but Xiao Chuo was unyielding. If you don’t want to do it yourself, I will help you, but don’t feel sorry for you at that time.
Just like that, Xiao Chuo sent an assassin to strangle Han Derang's wife to death. Seeing this, Han Derang could only watch silently and cry from the side, not daring to resist at all.
Perhaps when the two separated more than ten years ago, they were destined to be together. Although they seem to be able to get together again, they are still changing things.
But no matter what, Xiao Chuo's goal has been achieved, so how will she fulfill her promise? Do you really want to tell the world that you will have a grand and formal wedding with Han Delang?
That is naturally impossible.
How could the emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager who ruled from behind the curtain, marry someone else?
Xiao Chuo also had a solution. She summoned all the ministers to the banquet in the palace and took the ministers to a tiered tent. As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw Han Derang sitting in the master's seat and were suddenly at a loss.
Xiao Chuo seemed to be unable to see it at all. He walked over and sat down beside Han De, and even asked everyone to sit down quickly, otherwise the food would be cold.
Just like that, everyone finished the meal in a daze, looking at Han Derang, who was sitting with Xiao Chuo at the top, how awkward it was.
Han Delang didn't care about everyone's eyes at all. Although he couldn't say it clearly, in his heart, this was his wedding banquet with Xiao Chuo. Sure enough, after the banquet, Xiao Chuo said to him: "I promised you before. Today, this is just abiding by the old agreement. The emperor is still young. I hope you can treat him as your own son." As soon as this said, Han De was so beautiful that he wanted to be beautiful. From then on, the two of them really ate the same case, sleep the same bed, and chased them out when they left. They were like a couple.
In fact, this kind of thing is not unacceptable in ethnic minorities like Khitan . This is because Xiao Chuo has a special identity and is the emperor's mother. Otherwise, if he had changed his normal family, he would have remarried for a long time. Even now, no one would foolishly stand up and blame anything and act as this hero.
June dies and I follow
Another year later, Han Delang was given a political order, but when Han Delang, who took office, came to the new office on the first day, he encountered a thorn, the Khitan royal family Yelu Hugu.
Yelu Hugu is usually a "sharp spirit". He has to say a few words to anyone who doesn't like him. When Han Delang comes, he even feels that Han Delang is just a slutty little guy, and every word he says is not right.
This annoyed Han Derang, and snatched the weapon from the guards and smashed it at Yelu Hugu. He hit the forehead and directly smashed Yelu Hugu to death.
The court ordered the officials to openly commit crimes, which was quite amazing. When this matter came to Xiao Chuo, Xiao Chuo also suppressed the matter lightly. In the end, Han De let nothing happen, and Yelu Hugu deserved to die in vain.
Another four years later, the Khitan royal family held a play game. The minister Hulishi didn't see any of them and fell next to Han Dejang's horse. He frightened the horse and jumped up and directly raised Han Dejang from his back.
This was originally an accident. Logically, Huli Room gave a gift and apologized. Han De Rangzhen fell and injured Huli Room and was responsible for treatment and care. That was the end.
But Xiao Chuo refused to give in and insisted on "hitting the bullet" of Hulishi and let him pay his life. In the end, Hulishi was actually beheaded, and Han Derang also received a great reward from Xiao Chuo.
But although Han Delang relies on Xiao Chuo to the top, he is not a novice who is completely soft-hearted, and he also has real skills.
Yelu Wubulu, who has the Khitan royal family, is also a master with a bad temper. He once directly scolded the king's uncle Yao: "You slave."
Yao heard it and complained to Han Delang. Han Delang smiled at Wu Bulu when he heard this: "He is your slave? When did you get him?"
Wu Bulu had a stuttering on his neck: "When the three fathers' houses split up, he was my slave."
Sanfufang is Liao Dynasty The general term for the three royal institutions of Mengfu, Zhongfu and Jifu, which is parallel to the emperor's bloodline, but it has long been separated. Wu Bulu's words are cursing that Yaozhi's family has been slaves for generations.
Han Delang was not angry when he heard this, but laughed. Later, he directly recommended Wu Bulu as the military commander. Xiao Chuo asked him why, Han Delang smiled and said, "This is a job that offends people, so he has to let such a person do it. He is not even afraid of me, and who will give him face and who can suppress him."
Later, Wu Bulu was indeed quite successful.
When the Song and Liao Chanyuan Alliance arrived, Han Derang and Xiao Chuo were not evaded at all, and took their hands and took the same car to sign the peace agreement.
After returning, in order to celebrate, Xiao Chuo directly gave Han Delang Yelu's surname and named him King of Jin . He entered the house of Ji's father, and often did not go to court, did not go to court, praised and worshipped, sat alone next to the emperor, and also had his own private city and guard, and was simply the Supreme Emperor.
even according to generation, the Emperor of Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu wanted to call Han Derang uncle, but Xiao Chuo passed away five years after the Chanyuan Alliance. Seeing that Han Derang's backer was gone, Yelu Longxu was not so respectful to him, so he said to him, "Although I am the emperor, I should have a big brother, I think it's yours." (The emperor read: "Even if the emperor is the emperor, I must have a long life." - "Han Derang's epitaph (Three rules)")
Then he gave Han Derang a name of Yelu Longyun according to his generation and named him "Emperor Brother". He seemed to have a transcendent status, but he had no real power, and was inexplicably lowered. This kind of rise in openness and decline in secret could not help but make Han Derang feel sad.
With the thought of Xiao Chuo, Han Derang's health quickly became weak, but a year later, he died of serious illness.
Han Delang and Xiao Chuo are mostly seen in historical materials of the Song and Liao dynasties. The love tragedy that these two people only see may really be worthy of sighs and sighs, but if they should be said or not, these two people do not know that sometimes it is correct to let go.
When the two separated, they should not be disturbed anymore. When they were goodbye, a serious girl from the time to the empress dowager who was in the world, and a pure young man from the time to the power of the high-ranking official, how could they completely regain the feeling they had at the time? It was just a pity for the originally innocent Han Derang's wife.
