Empress Dowager Xiao had her black hair scattered and rested comfortably on the lap of Han Derang, a Han official; His eyes glanced brightly at the window on the west side of the tent.

As the sun sets, a ray of sunlight shines through the window; And the inside of the tent was brightly illuminated.

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at the still strong sunshine and couldn't help but think, sighed and muttered silently in her heart: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk!" You don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. A song with you, please listen to it for me. The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name. In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand years. What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman. Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao silently recited a poem by Li Bai in a depressed and melancholy manner, and held Han Derang's hand on her chest tightly to her face; He said, "Brother Jean, the swallow is 52; The day of ascension is not far off! ”

"What nonsense is my little sister talking about!" Han Derang took the palm that was pressed on the face of the Empress Dowager Xiao away and said with a stern expression: "Yan Xiaomei is the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and 52 years old is the age of the day; Say that the day of ascension is not far away? Don't talk about discouragement, neither of us will live to be 100 years old......"

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled abruptly, didn't say anything, and still picked up Han Derang's palm and pressed it on her cheek.

Han Derang stroked the smooth cheeks of the Empress Dowager Xiao and said solemnly: "Little Sister Swallow is today's Wu Zetian, and the Liao Dynasty governs the Wuhua Tianbao and the people are prosperous; The people live and work in peace and contentment, the country and the people are safe, and the prosperous era of Kaiyuan is nothing more than that! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and grinned: "Brother Rang has always spared no effort to encourage my little sister, honestly, if Brother Rang hadn't helped me all these years; How can swallows have such a great charm! ”

Han Derang stared at Empress Dowager Xiao excitedly, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms and kissed her wildly; Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly became like a mollusk, allowing Han Derang to ravage her......

Empress Dowager Xiao, known as Xiao Xuan, and Xiaowei Yanyan, was a political woman on a par with Wu Zetian in Chinese history.

Xiao Xuan's father is the concubine of the princess of Yanguo, the daughter of Liao Taizong, and the nephew of the prime minister Xiao Dilu; After Liao Muzong was assassinated, Xiao Siwen supported Yeluxian, who was snubbed by the courtiers, to ascend the throne as the emperor, that is, the frail and sickly Liao Jingzong.

Liaojingzong Yeluxian has a deep foundation, and after ascending the throne, he can only rely on Xiao Siwen; He knew that his throne was won by Xiao Siwen, who was a minister who cared for his life, and from the beginning of his succession, he rewarded Xiao Siwen and named him the king of Wei.

In order to repay Xiao Siwen's assistance, Ye Luxian recruited his youngest daughter Xiao Yanyan into the palace as the queen.

Xiao Yanyan thus stepped onto the stage she had never hoped for, and parted painfully with her first lover Han De; Although the two of them were a thousand reluctant, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey.

Liao Jingzong Yelu Xian was the second son of Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan, and Yelu Ruan led his army to go on the expedition on the way to Zhou on the way to Guihua Gushan and the two queens were killed by his close minister Yelu Cha C.

After the assassination of Yelu Ruan, Yelu Chacha carried out a massacre of the Yelu Ruan family, and Yelu Ruan's second son, Yelu Xian, was only three years old at the time; Liu Jieli, the imperial chef, wrapped it in felt and hid it in the firewood and escaped.

Although Yeluxian escaped with his life, he fell ill due to fright and could not be cured for a long time; After ascending the throne, he suffered from a stroke and was very weak, and he couldn't even ride a saddle, let alone deal with military affairs.

Ye Luxian was weak and uninhibited, and the military affairs were handled by the queen Xiao Xuan; Xiao Sui quickly showed the shrewdness and ability of a political woman.

Liao Jingzong became more and more trusting of Xiao Xuan, thinking about how Xiao Xuan would preside over the overall situation after a hundred years; If the son can ascend to the throne, there will be a successor to the branch of Sejong Yelu Nguyen; Therefore, Liao Jingzong constantly cultivated and established Xiao Xuan's prestige and power in the imperial court.

Liao Jingzong granted Xiao Xuan the right to adjudicate alone, and even made her call her "I"; Elevate Xiao Zhuo's status to the same level as the emperor.

In the fourth year of Qianheng, Liao Jingzong died on the way to hunting; Xiao Yanyan knew that all the vassal kings were eyeing the throne, so she first learned from Liu Bei to act in a crying scene; It is not easy to count his orphans and widows, and win the sympathy of the minister.

Xiao Xuan initially gained a firm foothold in the DPRK, and then used his cronies and his mother's family to control various key departments; The first love, Han Derang, supported the meritorious prime minister Su Weishi and participated in the decision.

Hendejang was a very talented man, under his rule; The development of the Han farming area is very good, and Han Derang was the leader of the Han dynasty in the Liao State during the period of Xiao Yanyan's auxiliary government.

The joining of Han Derang marks the attitude of the Hanchens; Xiao Yanyan can be said to have strengthened her wings, and began to eliminate those hidden dangers that threaten her.

First of all, there is the issue of the vassal king, Xiao Sui adopted Han De's suggestion that "all the kings should return to the first, and they must not meet privately", collect the military power, pull out the teeth of the vassal kings, and let them become cats.

After that, Xiao Xuan imitated the Han system and carried out the feudal reform of the Sinicization of the Liao State, transitioning the Liao State from a backward slave country to a relatively advanced feudal country at that time; The Liao State began to move towards the road to strength.

During Xiao Xuan's reform, Han Derang was the general staff officer, and the two were closely connected in political activities; The relationship is also reborn in frequent contact, and the two are first love after all; It's hard to forget the feelings of first love.

After careful consideration, Xiao Yanyan decided to marry Han Derang, and Han Derang already had a family; Xiao Yanyan is the lord of a country, how can she be a concubine? So he ordered someone to kill Han Derang's wife, Li.

Although Han Derang knew who killed his wife, he was helpless; Afterwards, at Xiao Yanyan's request, the two lived a husband and wife life in the actual sense.

Han De let him enter and leave the harem freely, and the two stayed and flew together.

Zhao Guangyi, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, saw that after the death of Liao Jingzong, the Liao State was ruled by orphans and widows, and wanted to follow his brother Zhao Kuangyin to seize the throne of Chai Zongxun, the young lord of the Later Zhou Dynasty; The Northern Expedition was deployed in an attempt to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that had been lost at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

As a result, the Song army was defeated by the Liao army led by Xiao Yanyan, and Song Taizong only had a half-cut trouser left to ride a donkey and pick up a life; But the general Yang Ye was also killed in this Northern Expedition.

In 994 AD, Han Derang was already the most powerful minister of Liao; Except for the emperor and the Empress Dowager Xiao, there is no one above him anymore!

Han Derang, who became the "Emperor Taishang" of Daliao, also did not shy away from entering and leaving the Empress Dowager Xiao's bedroom at will, and the two ate and lived together, and they were inseparable; It's like an ordinary folk couple, and the couple is deeply in love.

Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang can't help but be sincere, and they also have a tacit understanding and consensus on national affairs; Consult with each other often and discuss state affairs!

After Xiao Sui officially married Han Derang, he not only had no objection to Han Derang's "stepfather" identity Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu; And he also has a heartfelt respect for Han Derang and a father-son relationship.

Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu asked his two younger brothers, Longqing and Longyou, to greet Han Derang every day; And they had to get out of the car and walk two miles away from Handleyang's tent.

If Han Derang left Beijing and returned, the two princes would also go to the station to greet him.

As the emperor of Liao, when Yelu Longxu himself went to see Han Derang, the etiquette was not ambiguous at all; You will get off the bus and walk 50 steps away.

Although Han Derang came out of the tent to greet him, Yelu Longxu would definitely salute him first; After entering the account, Han Derang was on the throne, and Long Xu was extremely respectful to him to salute his father and son.

In the eighteenth year of the unification (994 AD), Han Derang became the most powerful person in the Liao State: Ren Taibao, concurrently serving as a political order, the prime minister of the Privy Council of the North and South Courts, worshiping the prime minister, and entering the king of Qi.

In December of the twenty-second year of Tonghe (998 AD), Han Derang was given the surname Yelu of Liao, renamed Yelu Longyun, and was crowned the king of Jin, above the prince.

In addition to these titles, he was given a palace of Wenzhong with regulations comparable to that of the imperial palace; A retinue of the Emperor level.

From then on, the Han family, which appeared in the history of the Liao State as the slave of Empress Shu Luping, officially became a royal family.

Han Derang did not live up to Xiao Xuan's trust and love, and was loyal to Xiao Xuan throughout his life; She has never used the privileges she gave herself to do anything that endangered the government of Liao, and she has done her best for the revitalization and development of Liao......

Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang kissed for a while, and said affectionately: "Brother Jean just said that Yanzi is today's Wu Zetian, but my little sister's wish to include the Song Dynasty in the territory of Daliao has not been realized so far!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said and gently pushed Han De away and said, "Little sister is 52 years old today, and the emperor has grown up; I want to do a big thing before the emperor is in power, I don't know what Brother Rang's attitude is? ”

Han Derang was stunned, grabbed the two arms of the Empress Dowager Xiao tightly with both hands, and said solemnly: "Does Yan Xiaomei want to destroy the Song Dynasty before the emperor takes power?" ”

"The one who knows the little sister makes the brother also!" Empress Dowager Xiao kissed Han Derang on the cheek, stood up and paced in the tent hall and said: "Eliminating the Song Dynasty and unifying China is Xiaomei's dream vision, but Xiaomei has assisted Jingzong and Shengzong for forty years, and she has not had this wish in her heart......"
