In the more than 200 year history of the Liao State, there have been eighteen queens surnamed Xiao,

In fact, the eighteen Xiao queens of Liao are not a family, and the reason why there are so many queens surnamed Xiao in Liao is mainly because most of the Liao people are surnamed Xiao.

Most of the people in Liao are surnamed Xiao, and there are eighteen queens surnamed Xiao in Liao, but they are not from the same family, and the emperor set up these empresses to consolidate his power.

The Khitan tribe originally had no surname, and it was not changed until the Yelu Abaoji period. In addition, the ** surname of "Xiao" is for a reason, and the queens of the Khitan are basically from the B room and the Bali clan, and they were later given the surname Xiao.

I think there have been 18 queens surnamed Xiao in the more than 200-year history of Liao. It's not that the Liao State is not afraid of foreign relatives interfering in politics. It's just that things have developed like this. They can't help it themselves.

Most of the people in Liao have the same surname, so basically the 18 queens are surnamed Xiao, and they are relatively stable politically, so they are not afraid.

It seems that most of the people in Liao are surnamed Xiao, so there are eighteen queens surnamed Xiao, I think it's nothing, after all, nine out of ten people are surnamed Xiao, so the possibility of the queen's surname Xiao is too great.

There are so many queens surnamed Xiao in one dynasty, compared to other dynasties, it is indeed a little unbelievable, but I think that instead of caring about this kind of issue, it is better to have a good understanding of the history of the Liao State.

In ancient times, the family background of the queen was generally not low, and the king appointed them as the queen, but also to consolidate his imperial power. In addition, the fact that they dared to do so shows that they also have a certain degree of certainty that they can control this.

In my opinion, it is impossible for Liao to have eighteen queens surnamed Xiao by chance, it may be that the society at that time belonged to a big surname, and there were more people with a big surname.

Empress Dowager Xiao. Because Empress Dowager Xiao's ability is very strong and she is resolute, I think Empress Dowager Xiao is even more powerful.

The Empress Dowager Shulu and the Empress Dowager Xiao have their own merits, I think that during the reign of Pachun Xiao Xuan, the power of the old Khitan aristocracy was greatly damaged, and the centralization of power was further strengthened. In several central cities such as Nanjing, prisons and caves are basically empty.

The period of Liao Jingzong and Liao Shengzong was the most prosperous stage of the Liao State, and it was inseparable from Xiao Xuan's political talent!

It should be said that in terms of governing ability, Xiao Xuanyuan is far above Shu Luping!

I think Empress Dowager Xiao is more powerful, because she ensured that Song and Liao did not go to war, maintained peace for 10 years, and was a contributing person.

This is because the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty at that time had two big surnames, one of which was Yelu and the other was Xiao. Moreover, at that time, the same sex could not intermarry, so they would marry a woman from the Xiao family.

Maybe this is the family reason, or it may be that they are all from the B room and the Piere clan, so most of them are generally surnamed Xiao.

It is because their emperor stipulated that if they want to become the monarch of Liao, they must take the daughter of the Xiao family, because it was the Xiao family who helped them and sat on the throne of the emperor.

The Khitan people changed their surnames almost all over the country, Yelu (Liu) and Xiao (Hou clan) ......

Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains were in chaos, and there was no economic force to control the rise and fall of the grassland. Yelu Abaoji seized the historical opportunity to unify the eight Khitan tribes and build a city on the grassland.

Dingdu Linhuang Mansion (Chifeng City.

Bahrain Left Banner Southeast) set up hundreds of officials, created writing, and established the national name Khitan.

In 926 A.D., he conquered the Bohai Kingdom in the east and the grassland tribes in the west, and his influence reached Central Asia, with an area of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Twice as much, the Khitan iron hoof crowns the world, so that today's Eastern Europe, Central Asian countries still call the Chinese name Khitan.

The Central Plains region has a developed economy and culture, rich in products, and has a great attraction to the surrounding minority people, and whenever they are strong, they want to enter the Central Plains and be the masters of China. Khitan State.

Emperor Yelu Deguang had such ambitions, he participated in the Central Plains division during the Five Dynasties period, and got a piece of the pie, that is, the sixteen states of Youyun.

The Liao Kingdom is probably in the area from Inner Mongolia to Beijing, Liaoning Province, which is the former Youzhou, the capital of Shangjing, and is the left banner of Inner Mongolia and Bahrain. When Empress Dowager Xiao was not yet Mongolia, Liao was destroyed by the Jin State, and Genghis Khan was only available in the later period of the Jin State. If it is really related, that is, after the Liao was destroyed, the royal family was divided, and the Later Liao and the Eastern Liao were built respectively, and the Eastern Liao was destroyed by the Mongols.

Later, there was another Western Liao, probably near Iran, which was smaller in scale and was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty.

The three eastern provinces have nothing to do with Mongolia.
