Chapter 78 The third section is under one person, above ten thousand

In addition to conferring high officials and bestowing the country's surname, the Empress Dowager Chengtian even granted Han Derang permission to build a large palace tent.In the Liao Kingdom, only the empress dowager and the emperor can build a large palace tent.It can be seen from this that Han Derang's status is really below one person and above ten thousand people.So why did Han Derang receive such courteous treatment? The reason why Empress Dowager Chengtian reused Han Derang was due to personal feelings aside. She grew up in Handi, Nanjing, and her father, Xiao Siwen, stayed behind in Nanjing.Han Derang is Han, and the two hit it off in political views, and they are also bosom friends.Emotionally, they have such a tacit understanding, so the relationship is harmonious and the government is prosperous.But there is another way of saying that the Empress Dowager Chengtian used Han Derang to suppress the Yelus, which was to kill the royal family to build up their prestige.Because the Empress Dowager Chengtian belongs to the Xiao family, she wanted to establish prestige, deter the royal family, and make them not have different ideas. It was a bit like Wu Zetian killing the Li Tang royal family.In this way, Han Derang's prestige is very high.

Emperor Shengzong really regarded Han Derang as his father, because he knew that without Han Derang, he would not be where he is today. It was Han Derang who worked hard to make his emperor's throne so stable.The prosperity of Liao's state affairs is entirely the result of Han Derang's careful planning.Every time he eats, Han Derang will sit at the main table, and Shengzong will give him dishes. What do you want to eat, delicacies from mountains and seas, as long as I can find something for you, all over the country will pay tribute, and the respect for Han Derang is beyond compare.

So, is Han Derang just taking credit for himself?Shengzong took me as his father, I could kill a minister casually, if someone hit me with a ball, the Empress Dowager Chengtian killed him on the spot.Handerang really wasn't so domineering, he may have killed Yeluhugu on impulse at the time, and it was said that Yeluhugu had offended Han Derang's father back then, and Handerang might have been a little bit of revenge.When Han Derang saw that the Empress Dowager Chengtian and Shengzong trusted him so much, he really dedicated himself, was loyal, and contributed himself to the prosperity of the Liao Dynasty. "The History of Liao Dynasty Yelulongyun Biography" records: "During the Tonghe period, he was both a general and a general. , Feng Jinwang, wholeheartedly assisting the country, defeating the enemy and winning, made great contributions to the Liao Dynasty's foreign wars and internal political construction.

Han Derang died a few years later than Empress Dowager Chengtian. Empress Dowager Chengtian died at fifty-six or seven, and Han Derang died a few years later at the age of seventy-one, posthumously named Wenzhong.The imperial court specially built a shadow hall for him, which is a bit like the current memorial hall.His portrait is true, and it is hung with Jingzong in the Taimiao, which shows that he was honored by Liao Enyu. Han Derang was a Han Chinese, and he devoted himself to assisting Liao on the road of Sinicization and getting along with Song in harmony.He clearly saw that even though the Central Plains Dynasty was weak in force, it had a developed economy and culture, and a long-term confrontation would not be beneficial to the Liao Dynasty.Song and Liao were able to live in harmony, and Han Derang also contributed a lot to mediating.
