Xiao Guanyin can be said to be the most pitiful queen of the Liao Dynasty . Although she is the mother of a country, she died very indecently. When Xiao Guanyin was 36 years old, she was beaten and kicked by her husband, Yelu Hongji, and was strangled to death by a white silk. The reason why Yelu Hongji treated his wife Xiao Guanyin like this was because of the ten Song lyrics.
The Liao Dynasty had unique customs. Since the Emperor Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, the empress of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty came from the Xiao clan. Therefore, for the Xiao family, the daughter in the family is more expensive than the man, because the daughter may marry the future emperor and become the queen. Xiao Guanyin has noble bloodline and has been very beautiful since childhood. Therefore, the elders of the family attach great importance to her. It can be said that Xiao Guanyin grew up according to the standards of the mother of a country since she was a child.
Before Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, Xiao Guanyin married him as his wife. The two had a very good relationship at that time. After Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, she naturally became the queen. Xiao Guanyin is proficient in poetry, songs and essays, and is especially good at writing lyrics. Yelu Hongji also likes poetry very much. When the couple first got married, they often sit and write lyrics together. Even though Yelu Hongkinen later gave many concubines, no one could shake Xiao Guanyin's status in the palace. The reason why the couple later became estranged was mainly due to their son Yelu Jun .
When Yelu Jun was 8 years old, Yelu Hongji enthroned him as the crown prince and made up his mind to pass the throne to him. But later Yelu Hongji was indulging in pleasure, and all the major affairs of the government were handed over to King Zhao Yelu Yixin to handle. After Yelu Jun grew up, Yelu Hongji ordered Yelu Jun to supervise the country as the crown prince, so that Yelu Jun would naturally have to separate the power from Yelu Yixin's hands. Yelu Jun is young and energetic, and has a very bad relationship with Yelu Yixin. Yelu Yixin was worried that once Yelu Jun really ascended the throne, he would definitely not have good results, so he had a bad intention.
Yelu Yixin's first thought was to sow discord between Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin. Once the emperor and the empress were in conflict, Yelu Jun would naturally not be able to sit firmly in the position of prince. Yelu Yixin quickly found an opportunity, and Xiao Guanyin had just written ten Song lyrics at that time. She wrote these lyrics to win the favor of her husband Yelu Hongji. After she finished writing the lyrics, she ordered someone to invite a musician who was proficient in music theory and ordered him to compose music for these ten lyrics.
In order to complete the song, Xiao Guanyin often summoned this musician. Yelu Yixin took the opportunity to order people to spread rumors everywhere in the palace, saying that Xiao Guanyin had an affair with the musician. She used the name of compose music to build a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang. These rumors reached Yelu Hongji's ears. He didn't take them seriously at first, but the rumors continued repeatedly, and Yelu Hongji couldn't help but start to doubt them.
At this time, Yelu Yixin found someone to write ten fake works, and used these words to find Yelu Hongji, lying that these words were the decisive works of Queen Xiao Guanyin and the musician. Yelu Yixin has been immersed in the officialdom for many years and is accustomed to forming cliques. He brought many officials into the palace and asked Yelu Hongji to thoroughly investigate the matter. Yelu Hongji believed in the fact that Xiao Guanyin cuckolded herself, and immediately ran to Xiao Guanyin's bedroom and punched her, and then directly executed Xiao Guanyin. After Xiao Guanyin's death, Prince Yelu Jun's status was much worse than before. A few years later, Yelu Yixin used his old trick again, slandered the prince's rebellion, and brought Yelu Jun off the stage.
