Hello everyone, I am a history encyclopedia editor. When it comes to Empress Dowager Xiao’s words, everyone must have heard of them.
The popular drama “Yanyun Channel” tells the life of Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo of the Liao Dynasty in history. It is Tang Yan’s debut after marriage and the youngest daughter of Beifu Prime Minister Xiao Siwen, Xiao Yanyan. She is lively and intelligent
Heroic and vigorous, with excellent relationships with her two sisters, but in history, the real Xiao Yanyan killed both of her sisters. So what happened between them? Xiao Yanyan and Han De met at a young age and developed feelings for each other in the process of getting along
The two were in love, originally an excellent marriage, but their love was taken away by Emperor Yel ü xian of the Liao Dynasty, and the imperial decree must not be violated
So Xiao Yanyan married Yel ü Xian and became the empress dowager, later becoming the famous Empress Dowager Xiao in history. Her second sister Xiao Hu Nian’s husband, Gu Sa Ge, was originally the best candidate to inherit the throne.
But due to Yel ü xian’s rebellion, the new emperor replaced the old emperor, and Gu Sa Ge failed with a gloomy face. In the end, she died of depression. Xiao Hu Nian had a deep love for Gu Sa Ge Gu Lan and had a chance to become an empress, but after getting married, she stood in opposition to her younger sister. Later, her husband also died because of this, so she became dissatisfied with her younger sister. While Xiao Hu Nian was depressed, a slave with evil intentions deliberately approached her, and Xiao Hu Nian fell in love with someone else. Xiao Yan Yan, who had originally felt the love between her sister and Gu Sa Ge, couldn’t stand it and became even more dissatisfied. Feeling that it was inappropriate, he separated the two of them. Even though Xiao Yanyan allowed them to be together in the end, Xiao Hulian still hated Xiao Yanyan. Later, Xiao Hulian joined forces with Guli Zhaguo to rebel, and Xiao Yanyan discovered it in time and took the lead in controlling Xiao Hulian
And she died the next year. Even though Xiao Yanyan was deeply troubled, she still made this cruel decision. In front of power, her family relationship was so vulnerable. In the black bone of Xiao Yanyan’s second sister, she was a vain and brainless woman. In the play, she fell in love with Yelv Xiyin and married him. She yearned for power and turned against her sisters. But in real history, the black bone was given to Yelv Xiyin to appease him after he ascended the throne. Later, Yelv Xiyin mutinied many times, and Yelv Xiyin killed him
The black bone also hated Xiao Yanyan from then on. She poisoned Yan Yan’s wine to kill her, but her plot was discovered by Xiao Yanyan. Xiao Yanyan also killed her with a cup of poisoned wine. Han Derang was Xiao Yanyan’s lifelong love. After Xiao Yanyan got married, he married Li Si. Later, after Yelv Xiyin passed away, Xiao Yanyan and Han De revived the old relationship and openly stayed together. According to historical records, Han Dejan’s wife, Li Shi, was poisoned by Empress Dowager Xiao. However, Xiao Yanyan and Han De had a deep relationship with each other, and finally had a happy ending. The two sisters of the Xiao family ended up being very sad
