In the history of China, the Xiao family in Liao Dynasty was definitely a special existence. Because the queen candidate can only come from Xiao, during the two hundred and ten years of enjoying the country in Liao Dynasty, except for the second queen of Liao Sejong, who was robbed from the later Tang Dynasty, all the other eighteen queens were surnamed Xiao. Apart from political considerations and interest binding, the ability of women in the Xiao family is also one of the important reasons to ensure the consistency of the descendants.
Today, we will introduce the first queen with extraordinary ability in Liao History, Shu Lvping. For the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, is the empress Shu Lvping him? Start a business? The best partner on the road: to have children for him, to accompany him to fight in the south and the north, to unify the Khitan with him, and to make suggestions for him to defend the country?
what's the fine print? Yue Liduo? ，? Ping? It is her Chinese name. Her father said that aunt Lu was a descendant of Uighurs, and her mother was a Khitan nobleman? Yelubaoji's aunt There has always been a tradition of marriage between the two families, and the combination of the two seems to be destiny takes a hand.
yelubao machine is young and promising, and it is a high-quality youth. He is strong in appearance and strong in force, which is recorded in history books. Nine feet long, with a sharp head, a sharp eye, and a bow of 3 Jin? . His military talent is extraordinary: At that time, Xiao Huang Shiwei did not attach it, and Taizu dropped it with a plan, cutting down the Yugu, Liuxi, and Bisha, and defeating it. ? Because of his ingenuity, his uncle is dealing with tribal affairs? What is the doubt? .
and shulvping is not inferior. Under the influence of the family, Shu Lvping is solemn and prudent, decisive and resourceful. According to legend, Shu Lvping Ceng Lu met a goddess riding a green cow, and the goddess took the initiative to give way when she saw her. Sometimes a nursery rhyme sings like this:? Green cattle have avoided the road. ?
at the age of 14, Shu luping married his cousin yelubaoji according to the custom. After marriage, they got along well and had three sons and one daughter.
Supporting assistant
When Shu Lvping married Yelu Abaoji, his career was still in the initial stage. So, Shu Lvping has another identity? Assistant, advise him, follow him to fight in the south and the north.
in p>91, at the age of 29, Yelu Abao began to rise rapidly in his career, and he made great achievements in the foreign conquest. At this time, Shu Lvping is more like a counselor, as recorded in historical records. (Yelu Abaoji) Go to the army to conquer the public, and then (Shu Lvping) taste and seek? . By 97, Yelubao had a chance? Burnt wood to heaven, that is, the emperor? , since the number? Emperor Tian? , sealing the law is flat? Earth queen? .
According to the old system of the Khitan tribe, Khan was elected every three years. Yelubaoji, who has been re-elected for three times, decided to change the election to hereditary, which is a risky move. Knowing that this decision will inevitably be resisted by everyone, Shu Law Ping gave Bao Ji firm support.
sure enough, rebellions followed. By 913, the Yelubaoji couple had experienced three conflicts between their brothers. During the third rebellion, Bao Ji went out and Shu Lvping stayed behind. Faced with the siege of the rebels, she kept calm and captured her opponent. But after that, under the joint force of seven nobles, Bao Ji stepped down.
After many rebellions, the strength of the Yelu 'abao machine was damaged and the morale was low. But not long after, under the careful planning of Shu Law Ping, Bao Ji got a chance to make a comeback. According to historical records, he used salt as bait to gather tribal leaders. Make people tell all the adults:? I have a salt pond, which all ministries eat. However, the ministries know the benefits of salt, but they don't know that salt has a master, but what? When you come to visit me. ? The tribal leaders came to Yanchi to attend the meeting, and were killed by the ambush laid by Bao Ji in advance when they were drunk and hot. This one? Hongmen banquet? Later, Yelu Abaoji successfully unified the ministries of Qidan.
Bao Ji, who is in the initial stage of his career, is always on the battlefield with Shu Law Ping, either advising him or galloping for him. Such an assistant is really rare.
the sole queen
In p>916, Yelu Abaoji officially established the title of the year, changed the book of Yuan gods, called himself the Great Sage and the Great Tomorrow Emperor, and at the same time honored Shu Luping as the Empress of Ying Daming. Bao Ji thought that Shu Lvping was to himself what Xiao He was to Liu Bang, so he gave the family Xiao the surname of Shu Law, and decided that Xiao's family would be the queen and * * * would enjoy wealth.
The country is solid, but Shu Law-ping did not retreat to the second line, but continued to make political plans and be independent.
Shu Lvping is very insightful in identifying talents. Han Yanhui went to the Liao Dynasty without bowing to Paul. The emperor was angry and asked him to herd horses. Shu luping persuaded:? Obedience is unyielding, and the sage is also appropriate to use it. ? Later, Taizu treated Han Yanhui, and Han Yanhui also became one of the heroes who assisted in the early days of Da Liao.
she has political foresight in military affairs. Someone offered fierce fire oil. It is said that watering it with water will make it more and more prosperous. Bao Ji intends to send 3 thousand soldiers to attack Youzhou to test the effect of fierce fire oil. Shu luping said:? How can you take such a big risk in order to test oiliness? ? She thinks that you only need to send a few cavalry to harass you Zhou from time to time, and in a few years, you Zhou will submit to the Khitan because of difficulties, and there is no need to risk a large-scale attack.
militarily, Shu luping also performed well. There are two elite troops in Qidan, one is the private soldier of Yelu Abaoji, called skin. Army, with about 3, troops; The other is called the Shanshan Army, a private soldier of Shu Law Ping, with about 2, troops, well-equipped and powerful. In 916, when Yelubao attacked the Tangut, the Khitans were attacked by other tribes. ? Later, I learned that I was waiting for the soldiers, and I fought hard and broke it, and my name was shocked. ?
As the queen, Shu Law Ping has grown into a politician and strategist. Later generations commented on Shu Law Ping like this? After the simple and decisive, there is a heroic strategy. ?
The Queen Mother of the War Decision
Shu Lvping's ability was praised by Yelu Abaoji. After the death of Yelubaoji, she showed a strong and decisive side.
In p>926, Yelu Abaoji personally led the troops to the Bohai Sea, and suddenly died on the way back to Korea. The political situation in Liao Dynasty changed suddenly: after the death of the emperor, the tribal groups that coveted power in the ruling and opposition circles were ready to move; The transfer of imperial power is imminent. Shu Lvping did not indulge in sadness, but responded quickly. She took? Suspicion about the country? Weigh for excuses? Power to decide military affairs? . During this period, she mainly did two things: killing generals and ministers and strongly changing the heir to the throne.
More than 1 generals who followed Yelu Abao escorted the emperor's coffin back. Shu Lvping called them together and asked: Do you miss the late Emperor? Everyone replied:? Thanks to the first emperor, do you have to think? ? ShuLvPing smell speech, reply,? If you think about it, should you see it? . Before they knew it, they were beheaded and buried.
the killing has not stopped. After that, whenever Shu Luping suspected that any official had bad intentions, she took it. Send word to the first emperor? Kill it for reasons. She has also been charged with various crimes, such as dismissal or beheading, against the elders and authoritative ministers who have made meritorious deeds in the DPRK.
Zhao Siwen, the minister of Han Dynasty, was highly valued when he was under Bao Ji. Shu Lvping ordered him to go? Serve the late emperor? Zhao Siwen refused to submit. Shu luping asked:? You are close to my late emperor, so why not go? Zhao Siwen asked:? The first emperor was close to the queen mother. Why didn't the queen mother be rude? I wait for my courtiers to serve, but how can I be like the first emperor? ?
The implication is that you are closer, so you have to go first. Shu luping replied:? You are young and weak, the country has no owner, and you can't go! ? In fact, this reason can't convince the public, because at this time, Crown Prince Yelubi is 28 years old. But then Shu Lvping's move directly sealed everyone's mouth: she cut off her right hand wrist-length, and sacrificed herself for Bao Ji!
Seeing that Shu Lvping can be so cruel to others and himself, Manchu officials dare not disobey again.
After that, Shu Lvping strongly changed the heir to the throne of Liao Dynasty, abolished Prince Yelubei and pushed his second son Yeludeguang to the throne.
Shu Lvping has experienced countless storms in her life. In politics, she is resourceful and resourceful. On the battlefield, she is all-powerful, famous everywhere; In management, she is decisive and ruthless. Besides being a wife and a mother, it seems that it is difficult to see the feminine color that she should have in her life track. But in such a bloodthirsty era, only such a level of discipline can hold up half the sky of Qidan.
