After galloping for a day and a night, Xiao Yunjin finally caught up with the queen mother's guard of honor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Emperor and Empress arrived two hours early.

This is a small temple on a barren mountain, a mountain temple, dilapidated, no incense, the outer gable wall wants to fall, occasionally passers-by or beggars spend the night, shelter from wind, frost, rain and snow.

The attendants found a large amount of dry firewood, lit a bonfire, lit up the dusty walls, and slowly warmed up with more human fireworks.

The Queen Mother was already on her deathbed, lying on an offering table with only three legs left, and the missing legs were raised with stones and broken tiles, and covered with several thin layers of mattresses.

The statue of the god with his half-pulled head still sitting majestically in his place, probably not too satisfied with the offering in front of him, and his face was hideous—

What a skinny little old lady, if only it were a little virgin with fine skin and tender meat!

The temple hall of the small temple was originally not large, and there were more than a dozen kneeling people, and it was crowded.

There are three closest to the Queen Mother, Emperor Yelu Longxu, Empress Xiao Bodhisattva, and Prime Minister Han Derang.

"Son, when your father died, we were weak mothers and widows, and we were faced with a difficult situation where the clan was strong and the border defense was not appeased! You must remember who helped you open the situation, it was him, it was your father-in-law! ”

The Queen Mother trembled and stretched out her hands, holding the emperor's son with her left hand, and the prime minister's lover with her right hand.

"Derang, Yanyan is leaving. What I want to say to you most in this life are two words, I'm sorry for you, thank you! ”

Eventually, her gaze fell on Han Derang's face, and her pale face was covered with a thin girlish blush.

"Yanyan, don't say it, don't say it, it's all in my heart, it's all in my heart."

Han De let the old man burst into tears, choked up, and could barely speak.

"Brother Bodhisattva, is Brother Bodhisattva there?"

"Queen Mother, the royal daughter-in-law is here."

When Brother Xiao Bodhisattva heard the greeting, he hurriedly knelt down and crawled to the bed, also crying so much that the rain hit the pear blossoms.

"Queen, the queen mother just wants to say to you, grow up quickly, it's too late if you don't grow up. The queen mother is leaving, and I can't help you. You must remember what the Queen Mother told you......"

After speaking, he patted the pair of white and tender hands that stretched out quite meaningfully.

The Queen Mother was a little tired, closed her eyes, and seemed to be recuperating for a while.

"Come in, the mourners know you're coming."

Suddenly, he shouted outside the temple gate, but he didn't open his eyes.

Everyone was stunned, turned around one after another, and focused their eyes on the gate of the small temple.

A plain white shadow floated in and knelt beside the Queen Mother's bed.

"Slave Xiao Yunjin knocked to see the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be in good health."

"You, you, you......"

The Queen Mother couldn't say anything anymore, opened her eyes with difficulty, glanced at Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, and then at Xiao Yunjin, shook her head, slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears flowed out, stopped on her shriveled cheeks, and never moved again.

At the beginning of December of the 27th year of the unification of peace, the first generation of the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan passed away on the way to Nanjing at the age of 57.

According to historical records, Yelu Longxu was extremely mournful, crying so much that he vomited blood, and could not eat for dozens of days.

The ministers asked him to change the yuan.

"Changing the yuan is an auspicious gift, but I want to perform this auspicious ceremony for my mother's funeral, I am an unfilial person."

Yelu Longxu did not agree.

The ministers also said that this is an ancient system and should be followed.

"I am the lord of the Khitan, and I would rather violate the ancient system than be an unfilial person."

Yelu Longxu insisted on the expiration of the three-year mourning period and changed the Yuan Kaitai.

In April of the 28th year of the unification of peace, Empress Dowager Xiao and her husband, Emperor Jingzong of the Great Liao, were buried in Qianling, and were called "Empress Xuanxian of the Holy Spirit".

In the twenty-first year of Chongxi, that is, forty-three years after the death of Empress Dowager Xiao, she changed her name to "Wise Empress".

Xiao Xuan's death caused Han Derang to suffer a major emotional trauma, and a year and three months later, in February of the 29th year of Tonghe, he became seriously ill.

Yelu Longxu and Brother Xiao Bodhisattva served decoction in front of the bed.

A month later, Han Derang died, and a wisp of loyal soul followed Xiao Xuan leisurely, at the age of seventy-one, nicknamed "Wenzhong".

Yelu Longxu and Xiao Bodhisattva, kings, princesses and ministers mourned for him, and the funeral was the same as that of Empress Dowager Xiao.

When the coffin was on the road, Yelu Longxu personally pulled the hearse and cried, and the ministers wept and admonished, and did not stop until they were a hundred steps away.

Buried on the side of the Qianling, the shadow hall is regulated together with the Qianling.

The edict ordered that all palaces with portraits of Jingzong throughout the country should also hang up the portraits of Han Derang.

Han Derang was childless for life, and Yelu Longxu specially appointed Yale, the son of Yelu Tibu, the king of Wei, to succeed him as his heir.

Yale also had no children, and after Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, he made his son Ao Lu, the king of Jin, the heir.

In all dynasties, there is no one who can enjoy such honor.

Shi Zai, Han Derang (941-1011), minister of the Liao Dynasty and politician of the Liao Dynasty.

His ancestral home is Yutian, Jizhou.

Han Derang is steady, strategic, and likes to make contributions.

The first servant Jingzong, known for his diligence and prudence, moved to the imperial city of Shangjing, and stayed in Beijing on behalf of his father.

The Song army attacked Yan, Xi Di and others were defeated, and Nanjing was besieged.

At that time, Derang guarded Nanjing, because of the good guard, the siege was solved, and the Song army was defeated in the Gaoliang River, and he was enlisted as the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan.

Jingzong died, and he assisted the Holy Sect with Yelu Xian. The chief guard, deeply favored by the Queen Mother.

In the twelfth year of Tonghe (994), Dai Mufang was the prime minister of Beifu, and he still led the privy envoy and supervised the revision of the history of the country.

In the same year, he petitioned to prohibit the illegal torture of the Sanjing prison officials, and asked Ren Xian to commit rape.

Diagonally died, and concurrently served as the privy envoy of the Northern Court.

After worshiping the prime minister, the general second cardinal affairs of the government, the twenty-two years of unification and the twenty-second year of the surname Yelu, the twenty-eighth year of the name of Longyun.

Han Derang, as a Khitan Han Chinese, became the most favored and powerful figure in the regency of Empress Dowager Xiao.

"I want to marry a son, and I wish to be harmonious with the old, then the young lord will be the country, and you will also be the son."

It is said that Empress Dowager Xiao once said to her.

Liao Shengzong is also "the father's thing".

There is also a record in wild history that in order to monopolize love, Xiao Sui sent someone to secretly poison Han Derang's wife Li.

Therefore, later generations said that Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derangshi had become husband and wife.

As for these, it's not the point of this novel, it's already been interpreted many times.
