According to historical records, Xiao Yan was a master of literature and was proficient in martial arts. He is indeed a rare emperor with both civil and military skills in the history of China. Xiao Yan's nicknames are Lian Er and Lian. Born in 464 AD, he died in 549 AD at the age of 86. Like Gan Long, he was one of the few long-lived emperors in ancient China. As the founding emperor of Song, Qi, Liang and Zhou Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, his wisdom and talent were extraordinary. The history book says: "There are strange bones, two hipbones, the upper part protruding, and the right hand has the word' Wu'."
It is said that Xiao Yan, who is in his early twenties, is looking for something under the guidance of Wang Jian. Wang Jian knows face-to-face teaching skills. He looked at Xiao Yan's face and said, "This Xiao Lang has been a servant for thirty years, and his expenses are very high." Sure enough, in the last year of Xiao Yan's "thirty years", that is, at the age of 39, Xiao Baorong's Qi Zen was on him, and health was his capital. In fact, Xiao Baorong's downfall was entirely caused by Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Yan surrounded Taicheng, he planned to kill Xiao Baojuan, who was unconscious in East China, and killed five of the seven sons of Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan. One escaped to the Northern Wei Dynasty in disguise without killing anyone, and the other was mute and disabled. Xiao Baorong, who was carried up temporarily, was not afraid, but he was killed soon after meditation. Xiao Yan abstinence, "don't sleep with women", those women in the harem? According to historical records, except for your concubine Ding Lingguang who stayed in Beijing, all the other concubines were driven away by Xiao Yan to live with their lost son.
Except those who died young, most of the "seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards" of ancient emperors were dissolute men. Therefore, many people think that Xiao Yan is a good emperor and deserves praise. In fact, Xiao Yan has been deified, or some modern scholars are "overthrowing his beliefs" for him. In fact, Xiao Yan was also an absurd emperor. At that time, China was divided into north and south. Under the background of strong in the south and weak in the north, Xiao Yan made many "Northern Expeditions", but never defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty and "recovered lost ground".
At that time, the northern army was once divided and leaderless. If you are such a wise monarch, it is no problem to unify China with the power of the Southern Dynasties, and you don't need to wait until Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty appears 50 years later. Xiao Yan not only failed to become a good emperor, but also made many farce such as becoming a monk. His family style also made him mismanage.
After Xiao Yan became emperor, the chaotic harem seemed to lose patience. Although there is no record of summoning 30 lucky female emperors overnight like Zhao Qi and Song Duzong, it is also very powerful. It can be said that he "fainted", just like Xiao Baojuan who fainted in the East.
The emperors of the Southern Dynasties were extravagant and corrupt. According to Qi Benji Nan Shi, there are many beautiful women in the East Palace, the most popular of which is a concubine named Pan Yuer. At that time, in order to please Pan Fei, Xiao Baojuan overhauled the palace and decorated the Yuewu Hall in an ultra-luxurious way. The roads in Pan Yuer are paved with pure gold floors and decorated with lotus flowers, which is called "Lotus Growing Step by Step".
According to research, the custom of foot-binding in ancient China is to imitate Pan Yuer's "Three-inch Golden Lotus". After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he did not have the courage of Qin Shihuang and Ying Zheng to unify the six countries, but borrowed from Ying Zheng's practice of collecting beautiful women from the harem of the six countries. He moved his residence to the place where Xiao Baojuan played and "collected" all the harem beauties of Xiao Baojuan.
This is a very interesting story. I heard that Pan Yuer is the most beautiful, and Xiao Yan has long coveted it, hoping to rule it. Now when the emperor will not let Pan Yuer go. General Elvis felt something was wrong and tried to protest to Xiao Yan, saying that Pan Yuer was not a good woman, but a scourge. "I am afraid when I die." Xiao Yan had to strangle Pan Yuer.
Later, Xiao Yan took a fancy to Yu Fei, the second beauty in Xiao Baojuan's harem. Fan Yun, chief of staff, quickly advised him not to do so, saying that Yu Fei was not a good woman either. Hou Yu Fay, who fainted in Qi Dong, was a political obstacle. It was Xiao Yan, in his heyday, who was so hungry that he didn't listen at all. Later, Elvis Presley persuaded him together. However, Xiao Yan did not let go of other women in Xiao Baojuan's harem, and took everything she liked into her arms. Among the women who gave birth to him, besides the original match, there are at least seven other women: Gui Lingguang, Wu Jinglian, Dong Shi, Shi Chong, Xiu Rong, Ruan Lingbi, Ge Shi and so on. Among them, Wu Jinghui and Ruan Lingbian are women in Xiao Baojuan's harem. The two women also gave birth to two sons for him, the second filial piety and the seventh Xiao Yi.
By the way, I also made up two stories about grave robbery here. It turns out that filial piety is Xiao Baojuan's posthumous son, and Wu Jinghui gave birth to this son after being a woman in Xiao Yan for seven months. Xiao Yan has always regarded filial piety as his own son, carefully cultivated it and entrusted it with an important task. He is both a wife and a son. But when Xiaozong was fifteen or sixteen, Wu Jinghui told his son the secret. Xiaozong did not believe that his father was Xiao Baojuan, so he stole Xiao Baojuan's grave and dug up his bones. It is recorded like this: "However, there is still no confidence. It is said that the bones of the dead were sucked dry by the blood of the living, and the father and son seeped out. I sent him to Qidong privately to surprise his tomb, dig up his bones and let his arm have a blood test. "
Xiaozong still didn't believe it, and brutally killed an irrelevant person, and "blood test" looked at the similarities and differences of the results. After proving that he and Xiao Baojuan are father and son, Mr. Xiao had a second thought, "Since then, we have different aspirations" and proposed to work in a remote place where no one wants to go. Ping six years, Liang Northern Expedition, the appointment of filial piety as commander in chief, in Xuzhou. Therefore, Xiao Zong, who had two ambitions in his heart, reached a secret agreement with the Northern Wei Dynasty, abandoning the army and mutinying. Liang Jun suffered a crushing defeat, and the Northern Expedition suffered a crushing defeat. After Xiao entered Wei, he claimed to be the son of Xiao Baojuan after Qi Shi and changed his name to Xiao Zan. Xiao Yan was very angry when he heard this. Although he was ashamed, he refused to admit the truth, crying that Xiaozong was his own son, and what Xiaozong said was crazy.
Sometimes people laugh at it behind its back. Some people demanded that Xiaozong's official position be cut off, and it was forbidden to change his surname to "filial piety" or "North". But soon Xiao Yan wrote a letter demanding that everything be returned to Xiao Zong. Xiaozong was buried in Wei after his death, but he never left. He has never forgotten this "son". In the fourth year of Datong, people were sent to rob the tomb, brought back the bones of Xiaozong, and buried in the Xiao family cemetery in Danyang, Jiangsu.
Dao Cheng, Xiao Baojuan and Xiao Baojuan are capitalists, and the dispute between Qi and Liang is actually a "family struggle". However, the most shameful thing is not to take the wife and daughter first, but the incest of the Xiao family, who almost died of incest. As the saying goes, fish begins to stink at the head. Xiao Yan is so dissolute that the "family" will naturally see that upward movement is invalid. ZSZSZSZ has seven sons and eight daughters. Xiao Yan's branch, after he became emperor, his brothers and sons, even his daughter, did many bad things. The most disorderly thing is that Xiao Yuyao, the eldest daughter of Xiao Yan and Princess Yongxing, committed adultery with her uncle and Xiao Yan's half-brother Xiao Hong and became "husband and wife".
Little yogi bear and Xiaohong conspired to kill his father for fear of being exposed. After the plan was completed, Xiao Hong became emperor and she became queen. Xiao Yuyao personally arranged the murder and arranged for the imperial secretary to hide the knife and assassinate him. As a result, the assassin was caught on the spot.
I vaguely knew it was Yao and Xiao Gong, but he held back and thought it was important to keep a low profile in public. Xiao Hong didn't die, but during his serious illness, Xiao Yan went to see him personally. At this point, you should be able to tell the general situation of Emperor Xiao Yan. So, isn't ZSZSZSZ really a forty-year-old woman? If so, why? Historians usually think that Xiao Yan "recited Buddhism" after the age of 50, so he "quit". It will never be that simple. The youngest daughter, Princess Great Wall, was born in her fifties. According to the love in the Book of Filial Piety, Xiao Yan didn't "break the atrioventricular cavity" until he was 59. By this time, Xiao Yan had been a Buddhist for many years.
In the past, the "atrioventricular rupture" of such elderly people should be caused by physical health, not Buddhism. In fact, this was revealed by Xiao Yan himself. There is a sentence in the forty-ninth chapter of Xiao Yan's Biography of Liang Shu: "I broke the atrioventricular node and haven't lived with my wife for more than forty years." At that time, I asked a teacher from other provinces about Yao Bodhi's illness. Liu Chengzhi's knowledge is caused by eating too much. Answer Liu Chengzhi's cloud, I am a piece of cloth, I am sweet and fat. Liu Chengzhi Yun, if an official used to eat it, he can eat it today. Yao Bodhi smiled and shook his head. Bodhi knew that there were too many official residences and sent a message. "
As you can see, Xiao Yan fell ill when he became emperor. At first, people thought that eating too well was "caused by eating too much". Later, Yao Bodhi thought that this was the reason why women played too much, that is, the so-called "too many houses, so this is the great cause." The emperor treated women just like Liu Ao, the emperor of Han Dynasty. "It's romantic to die as a ghost under a peony flower." Judging from Xiao Yan's early indulgence, this is not vulgar. He believed in Taoism in his early years and thought that sexual intercourse was a health care project. After being emperor for several years, he converted to Buddhism, but became a vegetarian, but he did not shy away from sex life and still lusted after women.
In this way, if you don't eat well, you will "do more". When you are happy, it is strange that your body has no empty shell. Kong suggested that they should not be vegetarian and return to a normal royal diet, but they all refused. "Immortality" is the wish of all emperors. In this case, Xiao Yan chose the latter and gambled on longevity.
