So what is the historical background and opportunity of Han Derang? According to historical records, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Han Derang's grandfather, Han Zhigu, was taken into slavery in Liao country, and later became the secretariat of Liao country. And his father, Han Guangsi, was made the prince of Yan, and later he was demoted to the king of Qin because of his failure in fighting the Song Dynasty! It can be said that the Han family is a very influential family in the Liao Dynasty, and its position is second only to the Yelushi family of the royal family and the Xiao family of the later family. However, in view of these complicated political backgrounds, did Han Derang and Xiao Taihou have sincere feelings before, or did they just use each other for political rights?
Jing Zong, the emperor of Liao Dynasty, died suddenly due to illness, and Emperor Sheng Zong of Liao Dynasty acceded to the throne at the age of 12. At that time, 29-year-old Xiao Taihou stripped off the power of his relatives who coveted the throne in order to stabilize the political situation in Liao country, wooed them for use, and gave them a great auxiliary power to supervise the country. Later, he personally changed his surname to Lu Ye and changed his name to Lu Ye Longyun! According to historical records, before Xiao Taihou entered the palace as a princess, she actually had an engagement with Han Derang, so they were suspected to have an emotional foundation. Because in Daliao, a woman can remarry after her husband's death, Xiao Taihou later decided to publicly remarry Han Derang and hosted a wedding banquet for Han Derang to entertain North Korean officials. In 994, Han Derang was already the most powerful minister in Liao country, and no one could surpass him except the emperor and Xiao Taihou!
