Is Si Wen, the prime minister in history, the same as in Yuntai? No! On the contrary, the characters of Xiao Siwen and Han Kuangsi in history are the same as those in the play. They are not honest and competent ministers, but mediocre and incompetent speculators, who are good at shirking their responsibilities, but their children are the protagonists of TV dramas, so they are washed away by screenwriters.
Xiao Siwen (? -970), the small word Yingu, the father's name is Hubuli, Hubuli is the younger brother of the Prime Minister of Beifu, Xiao is the half-brother of Shu, the queen of Mao, that is to say, Xiao is the ex-husband of Shu's mother.
Shu's mother is Mao's aunt Baoji. She married her little father and gave birth to a little brother. Later, I didn't know whether Fu Xiao died young or divorced. In short, Baoji's aunt married Shu's father Shu Lvpo (Shu) and gave birth to Shu's brother and sister. Since then, the queens of Liao country have basically come from the ex-husband and post-husband of Shu mother.
In April of the 10th year of Immortality (935), Deguang of Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty merged the old lady's father's clan and her mother's ex-husband's clan into the imperial uncle's room, that is, merged the two ethnic groups of the emerging queen mother into traditional descendants, and then replaced the traditional descendants with emerging descendants.
One of the reasons why Emperor Taizong did this was that his mother Shu was too powerful, which led to the crazy expansion of his family. Another reason is that he hopes to use the loyal mother family to resist the traditional descendants. It must be said that the goal of Emperor Taizong has been achieved, and the traditional post-clan has been squeezed by the emerging post-clan and reduced to a tragic situation ignored by history books.
Xiao Xiaoyan's father, Xiao, came from an emerging descendant. When Emperor Taizong became an upstart, he became Qiu in Xitu, in charge of six departments. He also married Lubugu, the eldest daughter of Taizong, as the monarch (John Bowring granted Yan Da princess royal), and later became the head of the general code.
Although Xiao Siwen is a pure Khitan, he doesn't like riding and shooting. Like King Yelubi of Ren Huang, he likes China culture and is familiar with history. This kind of weak Xu was fine in the Central Plains dynasty, but it was somewhat inappropriate and unpopular in the minority regimes that advocated force and did not restrict Xu's participation in politics.
What's more, Xiao Siwen himself is narrow-minded, not only likes to stick to details, but also pays the most attention to appearance and clothing. He looks so proud all day that all his subordinates have toothache. Everyone privately said that he had no talent as a general, but only paid attention to it.
Although Xiao Siwen has no talent, he can't control his family background. He is descended from this family. The princess is still a husband, especially after entering the Muzong Dynasty. He is also the brother-in-law of Mu Zong Yelujing. Sleeping King not only named his sister Princess Nanjing, but also let his brother-in-law live in Nanjing for seven years (957).
In the eighth year (958), the imperial court of the Central Plains invaded Yangzhou to the south, and Liao motioned his brother-in-law to see if he could fish in troubled waters or something. As a result, Xiao Siwen is very picky about this guy, and the south is too hot. Of course, it is probably because he is timid and afraid of death. After tentatively capturing several counties on the border, he retreated to Nanjing. Mu Sect came to treat him in order to make a face for his brother-in-law.
Zhou Shizong Emperor Guo Rong was not a weak man. Do you want to harass the border of Zhou Dynasty? We must get it back. In May of that year, Zhou sent troops to the north, besieged Mu Feng Town, and looked at Zhou Jun, who was full of momentum. The incompetent little Si Wen quickly sent someone to ask his brother-in-law Mu Zong for help.
Mu Zong, who was indifferent to everything, replied to his brother-in-law, "Alas, when the enemy came, he joined forces with the unified army to resist the enemy. The enemy retreated, and he continued to do farm work so as not to make Matthew tired. "
At this time, Zhou Jun had captured Shucheng County, and led the Liao army to retreat to the Hutuo River. Zhou Jun held out for a few days, and Xiao discussed with the generals: "There are many enemy troops, and the elite are exhausted. If the battle is unfavorable, there will be future troubles. We might as well sit tight and wait and see, let the enemy attack from behind after crossing the river, and we will surely win. "
The generals obeyed his command and joined the army and soldiers. Xiao Siwen continued to look for other excuses to ask the court for reinforcements. At this time, Zhou Jun, who was not prepared for the Northern Expedition, withdrew, and Xiao, who was relieved, also withdrew and returned to Nanjing like the rest of his life.
In March, the ninth year of Mars (959), Zhou Shizong started the Northern Expedition after careful preparation and went to the border via Cangzhou. In April, after Liao received the news, he appointed his brother-in-law Xiao, who was left behind in Nanjing, as the commander-in-chief of the military forces against Zhou Jun.
Xiao was frightened by the siege of Zhou People's Army. He doesn't know how to deal with it. "I don't know what to do." He can only trick the soldiers into saying that the emperor will come with reinforcements at any time, and he also refused the request of his subordinates to meet, which is very unfavorable for the enemy's invasion.
From April to May, due to a small passive war of resistance, Zhou Jun easily connected Yijin, Waqiao and Yukou, and was trapped in Yingzhou and Mozhou. Border cities are at a disadvantage. "Everyone in Gyeonggi was shocked." Xiao is even more afraid that the failure of border defense will be accused by the court. So he went crazy and asked his brother-in-law to meet the enemy himself.
Just when Xiao panicked, an accident happened and saved him from constant fear. Guo Rong personally expedition Zhou Shizong, suddenly fell ill and had to move troops back to Korea. Not long after Zhou Shizong's death, Zhao Kuangyin, his cronies, took the opportunity to seize the land of orphans and widows, and changed dynasties to establish the Song Dynasty.
Xiao Siwen was so excited by the sudden good news that he quit before the game started. I want to show my martial arts to the world! So, Xiao Zhou mobilized his troops, and then led a great army to chase after him to pick up the cheap. When he met two thousand infantry behind Zhou Jun's house and refused to fight, Xiao Siwen commanded the Liao army to defeat Zhou Jun with more victories. Later, when he heard that the Zhou Dynasty was in mourning, he was completely relieved and boasted that he had won the Nanjing Defence War.
In June of A.D. 10 (960), Liao belonged to the Northern Han Dynasty and surrounded Shizhou with the help of Song Bing. Mu Zongxian sent Ala, the special envoy of Datong Army in our army era, to lead four troops to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty, and then ordered Xiao to lead three troops to help.
Probably, Xiao Siwen's performance in sending troops this time was still poor, and his brother-in-law's new account and old account were included, so he was dismissed from Nanjing. Eleven years later (96 1), he was replaced by Gao Xun.
When I was a young warrior, I was still very weak and incompetent. My brother-in-law took me back to Beijing and gave him a job as a waiter. From eleven to nineteen years, he didn't have a serious job for nine years, and he usually accompanied his brother-in-law to hunt and drink. Oh, by the way, in eleven years, Xiao Siwen appeared again. Last time he asked for Amnesty on the grounds of seeing an old star.
Although Liao is addicted to alcohol, he still has some trust in this brother-in-law. At least in eating, drinking and having fun, the two are still in tune. As the trusted brother-in-law, drinking friend and hunting friend of the emperor, Xiao Siwen did nothing for the court and had a bad reputation among literati.
Although it is not as powerful and domineering as the prime minister of the three dynasties in Yan Yuntai, it is still very capable of making a living. Seeing that his brother-in-law who killed without blinking an eye was unattractive, he married his eldest daughter Xiao Hu to another brother-in-law, King Taiping. In the Central Plains Dynasty, it was not advisable for a niece to marry her uncle, but on the deed.
In my opinion, my brother-in-law has no son. Maybe he will give his brother Taiping Wang a successor. Wasn't his eldest daughter the queen that day? Isn't the daughter's son the future emperor? Isn't he grandpa and grandpa?
It must be said that small eyes are sharp. In fact, if there is no son, and his first brother Qi Shengren is the legal heir, this investment is still worthwhile.
But what he didn't expect was that his second brother-in-law and son-in-law Qi Xianzhe were involved in the rebellion and were detained for four months before being released. From then on, he also fell out of favor with his brother Mu Zong, so don't consider Mu Zong's inheritance. The small first investment fell through.
Xiao Siwen is not discouraged. He married his second daughter to Song Yin, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong's brother and cousin of Liao, another grandson of Emperor Taizong's Baoji Sect. He thought that the eldest son-in-law had fallen out of favor anyway and he had no son like his brother. Seeing that the clique of Emperor Taizong is dying, it is better to invest in this one.
If Mu Zong, my brother-in-law, is overthrown unexpectedly, then Hyin, who has great influence, may have a chance to come to power, so that her second daughter may also become a queen? Can he still be a state official?
However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. Xiyin did live up to his father-in-law's hope and bravely resisted, but failed. He also implicated his father Li Hu in prison and died. Xi Yin was also imprisoned for five months before being released. Xiao Siwen draws water from the basket again.
At this point, Xiao has become an idle person, and his dream of serving the country is about to be shattered. At this time, King Sejong, the first hidden emperor in North Korea, extended an olive branch to Xiao, and Xiao began to face up to this cowardly prince and quietly evaluated him.
Don't think that small is dismissive. After all, the Ming brothers were so weak that they looked like sick people. His brother does not look like a fool. He wants nothing. Who is not stupid to invest in them?
After two failed investments, Xiao Siwen had no choice. Both Emperor Taizong and Lihu Department had invested, but neither of them succeeded. Among Zhao Kuangyin's three sons, only Emperor Ranguo, namely Ming Yi, has no brothers. Why don't you take a gamble and win the grand slam and lose? Anyway, it is not without investment failure. Small has been able to withstand pressure.
Thus, the gentle little Sven (misty) made friends with the corporal King Ming Yi of Li Xian and became allies. After all, they both like China culture and have a common language! However, Xiao will never hit a girl rashly this time, but discuss it first. If you succeed, I will send the third girl to the palace so that you can stay where you are now.
For the common benefit, the smart little boy became the direct behind-the-scenes assassin. Mu Zong is a killer, and the slaves are very dissatisfied with him. Often with Mu Zong small, slightly provocative, create opportunities, someone can't help but take the bait.
A plot to kill a king began in Yingli's nineteenth year. That spring, Xiao Siwen went hunting with his brother-in-law Mu Zong. Mu Zong shot a bear and was very happy. With the flattery and encouragement of his brother-in-law, he got drunk again. On the night of returning to the palace, Mu Zong was murdered by six slaves.
Who was with Mu Zong when he was killed? Who discovered it first? There is no clear statement in the history books, only one sentence, that is, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in Xiao and Nan Yuan, and the daughter flying in the palace to meet the king. At dawn, Ming Yi ascended the throne in front of Mu Zong's coffin. This was Jing Zong's third investment, and Xiao Siwen finally succeeded.
After Jing Zong succeeded to the throne, he changed his surname to Baoning. After returning to Beijing, he appointed Xiao, a powerful ambassador to the North Hospital. Nine days later, Xiao was appointed as the prime minister of the northern government soldiers. In other words, Xiao, who has always been called prime minister by Yan Yuntai, has not become prime minister until now.
He also sent his third daughter, Xiao Yanyan, to Jing Zong's harem. Jing Zong was very proud, first sealing the imperial concubine, and then sealing the queen in May. Xiao Siwen finally realized his patriotic dream. On the second day of November of that year, Prime Minister Xiao sealed Wang Wei again and became the biggest beneficiary after he proclaimed himself emperor. While boiling oil like fire, smallness has become the biggest goal in the eyes of political opponents.
In April of the second year of John Bowring (970), Xiao accompanied her son-in-law and daughter to Tokyo to pay a visit to Yelupi and Sejong Nguyen. In May, when Jing Zong went hunting in Yiwulu Mountain, a premeditated assassination was staged again.
Right under your nose, the emperor's father-in-law, the northern emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the prime minister Wang of the northern government soldiers were assassinated. They have been speculating all their lives, but only enjoyed the scenery of 15 months. Ironically, little Sven is dead.
The assassination of this mediocre but easy-to-use father-in-law made me very angry. He ordered people to investigate the case. In September, he caught the masterminds behind the scenes, that is, the uncles Xiao Hai and Xiao Haili from traditional descendants, beheaded them and exiled his younger brother to Huang.
In December, the third year of Baoning (97 1), the eldest son Xu Long was born to Queen Xiao Yan. In the second year (972), on the first day of April, he chased the unlucky father-in-law and became the king of Chu.
Xiao Siwen in Yanyuntai was the biggest gentleman and prime minister in the Three Dynasties except family property, but in history, he was not as beautiful as in TV series. Whether in the father-in-law Tang Taizong Deguang Chao, Sejong Ruanchao, Yang or his brother-in-law Mu Zongchao, he is not qualified to be the prime minister of the northern government.
The prime minister of the northern government is the official position of the Qidan Yaodi family. At first, he was controlled by traditional descendants. When he arrived at Taizu Abaoji, he began to hire young descendants to repay their loyalty.
Since Lu Bing was young, except for the occasional royal family and the traditional post-clan, post-clan monopoly has basically appeared. The prime minister of Beifu has great power, not only in charge of military affairs, managing state affairs and conquering everything, but also in charge of tribal affairs. Of course, he also has to take into account the various traditional etiquette activities of the Khitan, and he is indeed an important official among the important officials.
If we say who is the prime minister of the northern government soldiers, it is indeed the object that everyone strives for, but I don't have the ability. Emperor Taizong appointed Lu Ye Wuli and Neriyi, the imperial clan, as prime ministers of the northern government, as well as Sejong's uncle Xiao Tarago. In Mu Zongchao, another brother-in-law, Xiao, was appointed by his cousin Xiao Gan (son of Xiao Qiu) after his death.
Xiao waited until his third son-in-law became the prime minister of the northern government, and then mixed up with the two important positions of the northern government prime minister and the Tang dynasty. As a result, he was assassinated after only 15 months, which is also a tragedy.
People like Xiao are not uncommon in the nobility and officialdom. They are always thinking about how to invest in order to make their families rich. Investment failure is natural, as long as the investment is successful.
Obviously, the small investment was successful and his family gained great benefits. Although he didn't have a son, his two nephews Xiao Jiyuan and Xiao Kun prospered because of his third daughter Xiao Yanyan, which made him the most prominent consorts' home in the Qidan Liao Dynasty. Men married princesses and women married royalty, which was even more noble than the children of royalty.
All this comes from a small investment! For the country, Xiao is a mediocre and incompetent speculator, but for Xiaoyan's family, she is a hero to revitalize the family business, which can be described as outstanding!
That's it.
