Does China have a woman with IQ and EQ comparable to Wu Zetian? Is there really no woman who can compare with China's thousand-year history?

Empress Liao (and Wu Zetian are also from Shanxi)

Xiao Taihou (953 ~ 1009), whose real name was Chuo, was Yan Yan. Yingzhou (now Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province) is the queen of Ye, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Liao Dynasty, and the youngest daughter of the prime minister of northern Liaoning. She is known as the "Empress Dowager Chengtian" in history, and is a famous female politician and strategist in Liao history. Xiao Chuo was born in the imperial concubine department, one of the four famous royal families in Liao Dynasty. His father, Xiao, is the nephew of Xiao, the founding prime minister of Liao Dynasty. Xiao Siwen lived in the Tang Taizong, Sejong, Mu Zong and Jing Zong Dynasties and was in danger. He also helped to establish the Jing Zong. It can be said that he was in power for some time. His mother, Princess Yan, is the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty, which shows how noble and honorable she is.

YeLvdashi's family and Xiao's family were married in Liao Dynasty, and Xiao's family was the queen. What we usually call Xiao Taihou is Xiao Yanyan, the wife of Liao Yeluxian. Xiao Yanyan, named (953 ~ 1009), was the daughter of Tang envoy of Northern Liaoning Academy and Xiao, Prime Minister of Northern Liaoning. The image of Xiaoyan is no stranger to people. She is Xiao Taihou from Yang Jiajiang. However, Xiao Taihou in history is not a vicious woman who led the tiger and wolf to fight the sixteen states in the Northern Song Dynasty as described in the novel, but a virtuous woman who made great contributions to the development of the Liao Dynasty.

When Liao ascended the throne, facing the chaotic situation, he wanted to make great efforts to do something big, but he was in poor health since childhood. Besides relying on the ministers of the Han Dynasty, the most important thing for military affairs is her queen Xiao Chuo (Xiao Yanyan). He once said to the minister that writing the queen's speech should also be called "I" or "harmony", which can be used as law. This shows that Xiao Yanyan can be an emperor.

In September of the fourth year of Ganheng (982), Emperor Jing Zong of Liao died, Emperor Sheng Zong of Liao acceded to the throne, and Xiao Yanyan was honored as the empress dowager and regent. At that time, Xiao Yanyan was only 30 years old, and three cases were only 12 years old, assisting ministers Yelu Xiezhen and Han Derang. The status of the empress dowager and the saint has been consolidated.

? In June of the first year of Tonghe (983), Emperor Shengzong of Liao led his ministers and gave ZSZSZSZ the title of "Empress Dowager Chengtian". As the Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Yanyan has been in charge of military affairs, thus beginning the famous "Regency after Chengtian" period in Liao history.

Xiao Yanyan is open-minded, sincere, and has no doubt about employing people, which is imitated by later politicians. She has the boldness of vision of a man, strict law enforcement and no weakness. She even "favored the imperial army, referring to the three armed forces, with clear rewards and punishments, and soldiers used their lives." The army of the Northern Song Dynasty was killed everywhere, and the famous Yang Ye was captured alive. A few years later, he established a "love alliance" with Song Zhenzong, which initiated a period of peaceful development of the Song and Liao Dynasties and was of great significance in the history of China.

Xiao Yanyan was betrothed to Chen Han Han Derang when he was young, but before he got married, he was chosen as a concubine by the emperor. After the death of Emperor Jing Zong of Liao Dynasty, Xiao Yan took a fancy to Han Derang's political and military talents and decided to remarry Han Derang. At that time, the customs of the Khitan nationality were allowed. She said to Han Derang privately, "I promised you once that I would get back together. The king is your son. " Xiao Yanyan secretly sent a pigeon to kill Han Derang's wife Li. From then on, Han Derang went in and out of Xiaoyan's tent without any taboo, and lived a de facto husband-and-wife life. Han Derang was also the father of Emperor Sheng Zong of Liao Dynasty. Han Derang faithfully assisted Empress Chengtian and Emperor Shengzong in Liao Dynasty and made outstanding achievements.

During the regency period of ZSZSZSZ Yan, he made great efforts to make peace with Song, selected Han people, and began to learn from scholars, eliminating the unequal treatment among Han people, persuading farmers and mulberry people, improving internal affairs, strictly armament, establishing discipline, making peace with the upper and lower levels, and making peace with Song. Thus, the Liao Dynasty reached the peak of economic and cultural development.

In October of the 24th year of Tonghe (A.D. 1006), Emperor Sheng Zong of Liao led his ministers to give Xiao Yanyan the title of "Ruide God should be enlightened slightly, and Hong Ren was promoted to Empress Dowager Chengtian". In November of the 27th year of reunification, ZSZSZSZ handed over power to Liao Shengzong, and he was no longer a regent. In the same year1February, Xiao Yanyan died at the age of 57. ?

Xiao Taihou's military experience is very rich, and the editor of Liao History thinks that "The Battle of Ge Yuan" is the most glorious page in her military career.

In the first year of Jingdezhen in Song Zhenzong (A.D. 1004), Xiao Taihou and Liao Shengzong sent troops south in the name of recovering the south ten counties of Waqiaoguan (now the old Nanguan in Xiongxian County, Hebei Province). The Liao army evaded reality and went straight ahead, bypassing the city that Song Jun was defending. In November, the Qing army (near Qingfeng, Henan Province) and Tongli Army (now Xunxian, Henan Province) arrived in Yizhou (now Puyang, Henan Province), an important town on the bank of the Yellow River, threatening Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty. For a time, the Northern Song Dynasty empire shook in one's hand and in one's hand. Some ministers advocated moving the capital to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and some ministers advocated moving the capital to Yizhou, Sichuan Province. Prime Minister Kou Li urged him to make a personal conquest. At Kou Zhun's repeated urging, Song Zhenzong personally boarded the North Gate House as a tender. Song Jun's morale does it one brace up. So the two armies confronted each other. In the end, the two sides agreed to a truce, and the Song Dynasty exported 200,000 silks and 65,438+taels of silver to Liao every year.

Xiao Taihou, a rare heroine in history, can lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city on the battlefield.
