The origin of Xiao Taihou.
Xiao Taihou's real name is Xiao Zhuo, and her nickname is Yan Yan. Her father is the nephew of the Prime Minister of Daliao, and her mother is the Princess of Daliao, so Xiao Zhuo is also of Daliao aristocratic descent, and Xiao Zhuo is beautiful and smart since she was a child. Later, Liao climbed to the top and returned a small support. He also recruited his daughter Xiao Zhuo into the palace and made her an imperial concubine. Emperor Jing of Liao was in poor health and had no energy to manage the affairs of the imperial court. Later, after Xiao Zhuo became queen, he gradually delegated Xiao Zhuo to handle the government affairs of the court, and Liao Jingdi was responsible for listening to orders. What is rare is that this model has been accepted by court officials.
Xiao Taihou's wonderful life
Later, Emperor Jingdi of Liao died of illness and passed the throne to Yelulongxu, while Xiao Zhuo, as the queen mother, listened to politics. At that time, Lu Ye Longxu was only 12 years old. Xiao Taihou was afraid that local governors would seize power, so he ordered to cut off the military power of governors, cultivate his cronies and consolidate the rule of the imperial court. Other countries think that the new emperor of Liao is young and falls into the hands of women, which is a good time to attack on a large scale. Xiao Taihou got the news, personally armour, and Song Jun confrontation. Because of Xiao Taihou's participation, the morale of Liao army was high, and Song Jun was quickly repelled. From then on, Song never dared to despise Liao.
Xiao Taihou didn't claim to be the emperor.
Throughout Xiao Taihou's life, we can see that she was uncompromising in Liao country, so for Xiao Taihou, she didn't need to be an emperor at all, and the new emperor was young, the political situation of the imperial court was turbulent, and the Liao country was at home and abroad, and Xiao Taihou was not in the mood to be an emperor.
