"I don't know if the queen has any trusted people, if she has, she will send you over, and she should return the 'favor' to you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Vertex Novel is the fastest update" Li Tian said to Queen Xiao, but he bit the word favor very hard.
It's not that Li Tian doesn't want to take Empress Xiao and the emperor with him, but it's always inconvenient to take them with him, if the two of them go to their lair and find that they want to rebel and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, it will be a little embarrassing.
Of course, Li Tian is not afraid that the emperor will find out, but afraid of the queen, after all, she has been snapped by herself, Li Tian still has to take care of her feelings, as for if she finds out about her rebellion in the future, it doesn't matter.
Listening to Li Tian's words, Empress Xiao pondered, her brows furrowed slightly, as a queen living in the deep palace, she didn't know much about outside things, and she didn't have any subordinates who believed in it, after all, if the harem officials and the generals of the army had dealings, it would be a big disaster.
In the past, even if she was shrewd and scheming, she didn't dare to cross this line, if she really dared, the disaster of exterminating the clan would definitely not be far away.
It's just that now Empress Xiao regrets a little, regretting her previous timidity, why didn't she entrap a loyal subordinate! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so hesitant now.
I looked at the emperor who had just been woken up by Li Tian, he didn't have loyal subordinates, but the emperor definitely had it! Empress Xiao thought secretly in her heart.
The emperor who had just woken up wanted to lose his temper, but seeing that there were only Li Tian and the three of them around, it was useless for him to get angry, and if he didn't do it, he would let himself enter an embarrassing place.
Suddenly, seeing Empress Xiao's eyes looking at him, the emperor was not a complete rice bucket, but also a little clever, and quickly understood what Empress Xiao meant, but there was embarrassment in his eyes, to be honest, at this moment, he felt that he was a bastard before, and he actually recalled in his mind that he didn't have a subordinate who could be trusted now, which had to say that he was a very failure as an emperor.
In the past, he only knew how to enjoy, lived a life of drunkenness, drinking, indulgence in wine, extravagance and corruption, and wine ponds and meat forests, and handed over all government affairs to the Seven Princes, and because he was afraid of the King of Ruyang, he took over the military power of the King of Ruyang and handed over the military power to the Seven Princes whom he had always favored, but in the end, he was forced to flee from the capital by a favored minister, which was definitely the biggest blow to him.
Everything was handled by the Seventh Prince, and the most loyal to him, King Ruyang, was taken out of military power, and there was no one outside who wanted to have a trusted subordinate, and a sad color appeared in the emperor's heart, and his heart was full of endless regrets.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word, Empress Xiao was angry! This waste, there is no one who can be trusted, did he sleep in the previous court?
There are more than a dozen generals in the country who control absolutely, and the emperor doesn't even have a person he trusts, and Empress Xiao is so angry that she almost doesn't jump like thunder, and she can't wait to kill this waste in her heart.
The emperor couldn't be trusted, Empress Xiao had to figure out a way by herself, pondered for a while, she really thought of a way, her mother family, can be named the queen, Empress Xiao also has a strong relationship behind her, otherwise it is impossible to achieve the status of the mother of a country, after all, there is no strong backer, and the position of the queen is not so easy to do.
The nomadic people of the steppe are not only Mongols, there are some once particularly powerful peoples, and the surname of Empress Xiao is Xiao, which is the most noble surname on the grassland, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xiao family was in control of the Liao regime at that time.
The most famous belonged to the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao at that time, that was a woman comparable to Wu Zetian, if she didn't have much ambition, according to her power at that time, she could have become Wu Zetian's second in the morning.
Empress Dowager Xiao's name is Xiao Xuan, the small character Yanyan, the original surname is Bali, Bali was given the surname Xiao by Yelu Abaoji, Khitan, a politician, military strategist and reformer of the Liao Dynasty, during her regency, the Liao Dynasty entered the most prosperous period in history during the 200 years of ruling the Central Plains.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two major historical events, both during the reign of the Empress Dowager Xiao, first, when the lord of the Liao State died, and the enthronement was the young Liao Shengzong, and the regent was the Empress Dowager Xiao.
The Song army was divided into three routes, the east road attacked Youzhou, the middle road attacked Ulzhou, and the west road attacked Yunzhou Shuozhou, failed, and Song Taizong ordered the whole line to retreat.
On the way to retreat, the Liao army captured the Song general Yang Ye, that is, the founder of the Yang family in history, in this battle, not only Yang Ye was captured, even his son died a few, it can be described as extremely tragic, after being captured, Yang Ye did not fall on a hunger strike for three days and died.
The second event, which was the most famous, also led to a sharp decline in the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty and became a disgrace for the Han people at that time.
In 1004 A.D., Xiao Xuan demanded the Guannan land recovered by Zhou Shizong in the name of attacking the Song Dynasty, at that time, in addition to the resistance in Yingzhou, the Liao army was like a bamboo, and in November it arrived at the gateway of the Song capital Kaifeng.
Xiao Tzu Rin, the vanguard officer of the Liao general, was shot in the head while inspecting the terrain on the front line and supervising the battle, and died that night. The morale of the Liao army was frustrated, and the lone army went deep, very tired, and the Song army attacked its rear road.
Xiao Xuan took advantage of Song Zhenzong's eagerness to seek peace and negotiated with the Song Dynasty to reach an alliance with the Yuanyuan.
Since then, there is no longer a large-scale war between Song and Liao for more than 100 years, the courtesy is still exchanged, the envoys are diligent, the two sides make each other a total of 380 times, there is a famine in the border of the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will also send people to the border to help, the news of the collapse of Song Zhenzong came, the Liao Shengzong 'gathered the ministers of the Han Dynasty to mourn, and the concubines below were all stained'.
From these two major historical events, it can be seen how powerful the Empress Dowager Xiao was at that time, when the Northern Song Dynasty was in its heyday, she was actually beaten by the Empress Dowager Xiao several heavy punches at once.
After that, the Northern Song Dynasty did not dare to mention the Northern Expedition at all, and the restoration of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun became a pain in the hearts of all the emperors in power in the Northern Song Dynasty, but because the literati were in power at that time, and the literati were afraid of death, even if the emperor had any ambitions and wanted to be ashamed, but the literati did not agree, and the emperor had nothing to do.
Empress Dowager Xiao's outstanding talent, can be said to be the crown of the world, if she had the same ambition as Wu Zetian at that time, being a female emperor is not a problem, but she tried her best to assist the young Liao Shengzong at that time, and in later years, the Empress Dowager Xiao returned the imperial power to Yelu Longxu, ending her more than 40 years of regent career in Liao Jingzong and Liao Shengzong, and went to Nanjing to enjoy the New Year.
