Chapter 77 In the second quarter, Han Derang changed his name

In the second year of Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu's accession to the throne, Xiao Chuo was revered as the Empress Dowager Chengtian and began to listen to the government.After the Empress Dowager Chengtian became regent, she favored Han Derang very much, not only let him take over the military and political power of the Liao Dynasty, but even ordered Liao Shengzong to treat Han Derang like a father.So some historical books recorded that Han Derang and Queen Mother Chengtian were actually lovers.So are these records true or false? Han Derang was born in a wealthy family, and his father and grandfather were officials in Liao Dynasty.He is young and mature, ten years older than Empress Dowager Chengtian.There are records that he and the Empress Dowager Chengtian were old lovers. Originally, the Empress Dowager Chengtian was supposed to marry him, but unexpectedly, she was favored by Emperor Jingzong, so she married Jingzong, but the two never forgot their old friendship.As soon as Jingzong passed away, the Empress Dowager Chengtian took the initiative to find Han Derang and said that I should have married you back then, but I accidentally married the emperor. Now that the emperor has passed away, we will regain our old friendship. Jingzong's son is your son. Help with all my heart. "Song Huiyao Compiled Drafts" said that Han Derang and the Empress Dowager Chengtian "lived in the tent, lay up together like husband and wife, and ate together at the table".From then on, Han Derang and Empress Dowager Chengtian became de facto husband and wife. They lived in a tent, slept together, ate together, and sat side by side when they received Song envoy Cao Yong.Ordinary people, who would dare to sit side by side with the Queen Mother?

In fact, Han Derang was more than ten years older than Empress Dowager Chengtian. When Empress Dowager Chengtian married Liao Jingzong, Han Derang was already thirty, so it was impossible that he was not married.Therefore, these records may be the notebook novels of the Song people, deliberately disgusting the Liao Kingdom.But regardless of whether Han Derang was the old lover of the Empress Dowager Chengtian or not, he did his best to assist the Empress Dowager Chengtian.Empress Dowager Chengtian did not hesitate to promote Han Derang. Once, Han Derang had a conflict with a governor of Liao.The governor was Yelu Hugu, and he contradicted Handerang in words. The Yelu family belonged to the royal family, and Handerang was a Han.But in a rage, Han Derang snatched the bone from the guard's hand, which was a long copper hammer, and smashed Yelu Hugu's brains apart with one blow.Han Derang killed the minister without any reason. He just had a conflict with you and was smashed to death with a hammer.Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Chengtian would not deal with this matter, but instead buried Yelu Hugu generously and reused Yelu Hugu's son.During the Chanyuan Alliance, Yelu Hugu's son Yelu Molugu was still a forward in the army, and Yelu Molugu did not dare to hold grudges against Han Derang.What is the relationship between Han Derang and Queen Mother Chengtian?If you dare to bear a grudge, I will give you another hammer.

Another time, the Khitan nobles played polo. Polo was the most popular sport in the Tang Dynasty, and Khitan has the legacy of the Tang Dynasty.When playing, a Khitan royal family rushed forward and bumped into Han Derang. When I couldn't hit the ball, I hit someone, and Han Derang fell off the horse.The Empress Dowager Chengtian was furious when she saw it, and immediately executed the nobleman on the court.Everyone felt that this nobleman was wronged. It is inevitable to collide reasonably when playing. If you say that you are not allowed to hit you, then you can play alone. The goal is empty for you, and you can hit it as you like.These two incidents are enough to illustrate Han Derang's position in the queen mother's heart.

And Empress Dowager Chengtian told Liao Shengzong that Han Derang is your father, and you should treat him with paternal courtesy and respect.Therefore, "Khitan Kingdom Chronicles" said that Liao Shengzong "respected him when he saw him, and treated him with respect to his father", and treated Han Derang with the etiquette he treated his father.Liao Shengzong asked his younger brother, King Chu, to serve Han Derang specially, who is called a personal adjutant according to today's words.Two miles away from Han Derang's big tent, the king of Chu dismounted and walked on foot to show his respect.When you enter Han Derang's big tent, you have to bow down. What is the etiquette for the King of Chu to see the monarch, and what is the etiquette when he sees Han Derang.Every time Han Derang wanted to go out of the tent, the king of Chu hurried out with the civil and military personnel in the tent, lined up on both sides, raised the curtain, so as not to hit the prime minister's head.Han Derang came out swaggeringly, and the group lined up to greet each other.Even Emperor Shengzong himself had to dismount and walk when he was fifty steps away from Han Derang's big tent when he came to visit Han Derang.Han Derang didn't need to go out of the tent to greet him, but just waited at the door of the tent.After entering Han Derang's big tent, the emperor saluted first, and then the two embraced and patted their shoulders.Han Derang's prosperity in the Liao Dynasty was even lower than that of the Khitan people.

Later, Empress Dowager Chengtian changed Han Derang's name to Yelu and Longyun.Therefore, "History of Liao" does not have "Biography of Han Derang", why is there no biography of such a big man in "History of Liao"?Because "The History of Liao Dynasty Yelu Longyun Biography" is about this Han Derang.Didn't Yelu look down on you?It's not easy for you to be from the royal family. You also have the surname Yelu, and you are enshrined as king, prime minister, and privy envoy of the North and South Courts, so you have to worship Yue.
