The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 524 Khitan Empress Xiao
At this time, Zhao Xu wasn't thinking about a hero saving the beauty, but who this girl was.

Because he saw that the two people who came from behind should both be soldiers, and their actions were clean and neat, without any muddling.

This was something Zhao Xu was all too familiar with. What were these Khitan people doing here? Song hadn't had any diplomatic relations with Khitan yet.

The two Khitan soldiers quickly cleared away his little boy's guards, obediently came to the girl's side, and stood aside respectfully.

There was a lot of chatter in his mouth, but Zhao Xu couldn't understand a word because he spoke Khitan dialect.

The diners on the second floor had already dispersed, only a few of them, plus the shopkeeper and the two waiters, who would dare to move forward in a fight.

Zhao Xu threw a small piece of broken silver on the table, and was about to leave when the girl behind said:

"My lord, please wait a moment. How much more should I thank you for saving my life?" The old-fashioned plot appeared here again.

"There's no point in admiring some small things. I just can't understand people like this. It's really shameful to rely on my parents to do anything wrong."

Zhao Xu didn't say these words on purpose, but he really disliked such things, even if it wasn't like this, he would have shot girls.

"Then how can we do that? Our sons and daughters of Daliao are all grievances and grievances. Today, the young master saved me. I must thank you, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

The girl really screamed, and Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, because his arm was firmly grasped by the girl.

After saying that, the girl dragged him out of the restaurant, but [-]% of Bingmasi's people were already waiting outside.

The girl didn't say a word, she directly looked up at the two people behind her, and one of them showed the officer a document or something.

Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses left without saying anything. Zhao Xu was also very surprised as to who these Khitans were.

"My lord, I want to thank you well, come and follow us to the post house." Zhao Xu was stunned, it turned out that the Khitan people thanked him so much.

Go to the post house?Could it be that these people came to work for the Duke of Song Dynasty, or else it would not be so easy to live in the post house, and what his subordinates just got should be some kind of certificate issued by the government.

While Zhao Xu was still thinking about it, the girl was already holding his hand. Let me go, this Khitan woman is really not generally open.

At least in the Song Dynasty, there was no woman as open as her who dared to hold the hand of a strange man in public.

He has only met this man twice, let alone just met twice, even husband and wife are rarely like this.

It's not that Zhao Xu's thinking is conservative, but that this kind of thing is not common in Song Dynasty, so he feels strange

"Haven't you asked about this young master's name?" The girl's lark-like voice came, and Zhao Xu also sounded very sweet.

Because he didn't know who he was, Zhao Xu wouldn't tell his real name at all. Besides, it was a secret that he returned to the capital this time, so he wouldn't tell his real name.

"Oh, me, my surname is noble, which is the same surname as the royal family of Song Dynasty. My surname is also Zhao, but it is a pity that I am not from the royal family."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu was still sobbing, as if he was lamenting why he was not a member of Zhao Song's royal family, his fate was really unfair!

"By the way, I haven't introduced my name after talking so much. You know my surname is Zhao. My name is very common. I'm called Tianlin, Zhao Tianlin. By the way, I don't know how to call the girl. I don't think the girl is from the Central Plains. "

"Hee hee, I am indeed not from the Central Plains. I am from Daliao. My name is Xiao Chuo. You can also call me Yanyan. My parents always called me that."

"Enen, the name Yanyan is not bad, what is your name Xiao Yanyan?" Zhao Xu looked at the girl in disbelief.

This Xiao Chuo also didn't seem to understand why this young master was so surprised after hearing that his nickname was Yanyan.

"That's right, do you know me?" Xiao Chuo tilted his head and asked in puzzlement, he had never been here before.

"Oh, it's not that I remembered a friend whose name is very similar to yours, so I was a little surprised. By the way, is your father an official from the Liao Kingdom?"

"Yes, my father is a high-ranking official in the Liao Kingdom. Is there any problem?"

This Xiao Chuo answered a high-ranking official, and Zhao Xu was a little sure:

"Is your father Xiao Siwen?"

Xiao Chuo didn't know how this young master knew so much, but she nodded her head as an answer.

Zhao Xu felt a little uneasy. This woman was Xiao Chuo, Xiao Yanyan, a legendary woman.

Maybe she is still a young girl now, but according to the normal historical development, after a few years, this woman must be a man of the hour.

This woman is none other than the most famous Empress Dowager Xiao in the history of the Liao Kingdom, an outstanding politician.

In the legend of the Yang family generals in later generations, this Empress Dowager Xiao was the greatest enemy of the Song Dynasty, but also a key figure in the alliance between Song and Liao.

There is indeed such an outstanding female politician in history, a person comparable to Wu Zetian.

Xiao Chuo's father was Xiao Siwen, the prime minister of the Liao Dynasty, so just now Zhao Xu asked his father if he was an official of the Liao Dynasty.

I rely on!

It really is the famous Empress Dowager Xiao, this woman is the one who shocked the Song Dynasty, and she is just a little girl now.

Xiao Chuo's mother is the eldest princess, the elder sister of Liao Muzong. The Xiao family was originally a captive slave, and then slowly rose up.

Originally, the surname was not Xiao, but was later given the surname Xiao by Yelu Abaoji, who founded the Daliao. One point is that Yelu Abaoji's first several queens belonged to the Xiao family.

But it is said that a custom has been formed, and the children of the Xiao family are all concubines prepared for the Yelu royal family.

After Liao Jingzong succeeded to the throne, Xiao Chuo was selected as a noble concubine because of Xiao Siwen's support and meritorious service, and was canonized as a queen in the first year of Baoning.

In the third year of Baoning, he gave birth to Yelu Longxu, the emperor of Liao Dynasty, and later gave birth to three sons and three daughters, who can be said to be Jingzong's helper.

Because Liao Jingzong was weak and sick, he was sometimes unable to go to court, and most of the military and state affairs were represented by Empress Xiao Chuo.

At this time, Xiao Chuo was actually acting as the emperor's power. Although she was a girl, she was indeed talented, and many major events were decided by her.

Later, after her husband's death, she overwhelmed the officials and allowed her son to ascend the throne smoothly, and even assisted her son wholeheartedly, gaining the upper hand in the war with the Song Dynasty.

It had to be said that she was a great politician and a great woman, and Zhao Xu secretly admired such a person in his heart.

If she had been a man, maybe at that time Khitan would appear as an outstanding emperor again.
