Chapter 4 The first ten years of the sixth century (500-509)

The Northern Wei Empire established by the Xianbei people in the "Northern Dynasty" began in the 1930s of this century (sixth century). Due to continuous civil strife—all of which were caused by corrupt officials and corrupt officials—they split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei.In the 1950s, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was usurped by the Northern Qi Empire, and the Western Wei Dynasty was usurped by the Northern Zhou Empire. Finally, the Sui Dynasty rose and unified the "Northern Dynasty". The "Southern Dynasties" included the Southern Qi Empire, the Nanliang Empire, and the Chen Empire, which rose and fell one after another.

In this century, tyrants emerge in endlessly.In the 1980s, the Sui Dynasty eliminated the Chen Empire.The era of the Great Split and the later period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties ended at the same time. "When divided for a long time, it must be united." China, which had been divided for 286 years, returned to unity. 1. In spring, on the first day of the first lunar month, the Southern Qi Empire (capital Jiankang) New Year’s Day meeting, the Southern Qi emperor (sixth emperor) Xiao Baojuan (18 years old this year) came out after breakfast, just after the prelude to congratulations, he Back to the west chamber to sleep, from ten o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, civil and military officials stood in the congratulatory position of the Golden Luan Palace, hungry and cold, many people passed out on the ground.After finally waking up, Xiao Baojuan came out to preside over the ceremony, ending it in a hurry.

2. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Northern Wei Empire (the capital Luoyang) amnesty, and the name was changed to Jingming (before it was the 24th year of Yamato, and then it was the first year of Jingming). 3. Pei Shuye, governor (inspector) of Yuzhou in the Southern Qi Empire (the state government is located in Shouyang), was terrified and uneasy when he heard that Emperor Xiao Baojuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty kept killing high-ranking officials.One day, he boarded the tower of Shouyang City and looked northeastward at Feishui (the Dongfei River flows through the northeast of Shouyang City), and said to his subordinates, "Do you want to be prosperous and rich? I can do it." The governor of Guangling, where the government is located (refer to September last year), is not happy about being transferred to the mainland.Coincidentally, Chen Xianda rebelled against the central government, and Pei Shuye sent a military and political officer (Sima) and Li Yuanhu from Liaodong (Qiaojun) to lead the army to reinforce the capital Jiankang, but he was not loyal to the central government in his heart, but just waited and watched the situation.Chen Xianda failed, and Li Yuanhu also returned to the army.The central government also suspected Pei Shuye's intentions, and Pei Shuye even sent a special person to Jiankang, the capital, to inquire about the news.Pei Shuye's nephews, Pei Zhi, Pei Yang, and Pei Can, all served as Zhige generals in the capital (the capital Jiankang) and guarded the palace. They were terrified, abandoned their mothers, and fled to Shouyang in a hurry, warning Pei Shuye that the central government would launch a surprise attack , should plan early.Xiao Baojuan's confidants, Zhige General Xu Shibiao, etc. thought that Pei Shuye might fall to the Northern Wei Empire if he was pushed too fast, and the central government would not be able to restrain him; so he reported to Xiao Baojuan and sent Pei Shuye's family members, legislators of the Legislative Yuan ( Zhongshu Sheren) Pei Changmu went to convey the emperor's will, retracted the personnel order issued last year (499), and allowed Pei Shuye to remain in his original position.But Pei Shuye was still worried and frightened, and Pei Zhi and others kept asking Pei Shuye to be more vigilant.

Pei Shuye sent his confidant Ma Wenfan to Xiangyang (Xiangfan City, Hubei Province) to ask Xiao Yan, Governor of Yongzhou (Xiangyang State Government) how to preserve it?Let me talk about my plan first: "The general trend of the world can be predicted. I'm afraid I can't survive with normal methods. It's better to face the north (Northern Wei Dynasty) and at least make a Henan Duke." Xiao Yan said: "A group of low-quality people hold power. Will they have foresight? They don’t even know what they are doing, so they will not achieve anything. The only way to deal with it is to send their family members back to the capital to reassure them first (last August, Xiao Yan told the secret Called out the capital, but now it is suggested that Pei Shuye send his family back to the capital). If they still ignore all persecution, they only need to lead 20,000 infantry and cavalry to directly attack Hengjiang (the Yangtze River ferry in the southeast of Hexian County, Anhui Province. The opposite bank is quarrying), cut off the central government If you don’t receive foreign aid, major events in the world can be decided in one battle. If you get close to Wei, the Wei government will definitely send someone to take over your official position, and transfer you to the north of the Yellow River to preside over a state; Henan Gong, how can you get it! Moreover, once it is launched, the road back to the south will be completely hopeless." (Hu Sanxing's note: "Pei Shuye's question, Xiao Yan's answer, although the ambitions of the two are different, it is obvious that the generals of the Southern Qi frontier army have With a rebellious heart, who will Xiao Baojuan rule the world with!") Pei Shuye pondered his doubts, unable to make a decision, and finally sent his son Pei Fenzhi to the capital Jiankang as a hostage, and at the same time sent a letter to the Northern Wei Empire Yuzhou (state Xue Zhendu, the governor of Xuanhu, which was set up by the government, asked whether it was appropriate to belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty?Xue Zhendu advised him to surrender as soon as possible, warning: "If the situation is critical and forced to surrender, the credit will be small and the reward will be small." Letters were exchanged secretly and discussed with each other.At this time, rumors spread in Jiankang that Pei Shuye must rebel. Pei Fenzhi was terrified and fled back to Shouyang.Pei Shuye then sent Pei Fenzhi and his nephews-in-law Du Ling and Wei Boxin to the Northern Wei Dynasty to submit the surrender memorial.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Northern Wei government sent Hushi General, Pengcheng Wang Yuanxie, and Chariot General Wang Su to lead a mixed corps of 100,000 infantry and cavalry to the south to reinforce Pei Shuye; he appointed Pei Shuye as the "envoy" and the commander of the five prefecture military regions including Yuyong. Chief (supervisor Yuyong and other five prefectures and military forces. Five prefectures: Yuyong Yanxu Division, these five prefectures guide the five prefectures of Qi, all of which are in the northern borders of the Southern Qi Dynasty), General Zhengnan, Governor of Yuzhou (still maintains the original "Yuzhou"), He was granted the title of Duke of Lanling County.

On the 30th day of the first lunar month, Xiao Baojuan, Emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty (sixth term), issued an edict to crusade against Pei Shuye. On February 16, the Southern Qi government appointed Xiao Yi, the security commander of the Imperial City (Wei Wei), as the governor of Yuzhou (replacing Pei Shuye). On February 28, the Northern Wei Empire appointed Pengcheng Wang Yuanxie as Prime Minister (Situ) and Governor of Yangzhou to guard Shouyang (During the early years of the Cao Wei Empire and the Jin Dynasty, Shouyang had always been the seat of the government of Yangzhou Prefecture. In the early days of the Great Separation, Yangzhou Prefecture The government set up Jiankang to perform the mission of Sili Xiaowei; at the end of the Jin Empire, the Yuzhou Prefecture Government was set up in Shouyang, referring to April 420. Now, the Northern Wei Empire has acquired Shouyang and restored the old system of the Wei and Jin Dynasties).The Northern Wei Dynasty sent the supreme commanders (generals) Li Chou and Yang Dayan to lead 2,000 cavalry into Shouyang to assist in the defense; they also sent commanders (commanders) Xi Kangsheng to lead 1,000 Habayashi Imperial Guards to march southward for reinforcements.Yang Dayan is the grandson of Yang Nandang (Yang Nandang started the Battle of Hanzhong, refer to March 434).

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty had not yet crossed the Huaihe River in the south. On February 29, Pei Shuye died of illness (at the age of 63). Most of the important officials planned to elect Li Yuanhu, a military and political officer, as the executive officer of the headquarters (supervising the state). God, can't decide.Former Jian'an (Shangcheng County, Henan Province) garrison commander (Guardian), Anding County (Overseas Chinese County · West Nanzhang County, Hubei Province) Xi Fayou, etc., believed that Li Yuanhu was not from his hometown (Pei Shuye was from Hedong County, and Xi Fayou was from Yongzhou People), I am afraid that Li Yuanhu will change Pei Shuye's decision, so he will promote Pei Zhi as the governor of the state government, block the news of Pei Shuye's death, and all orders and rulings will come from Pei Zhi.After Xi Kangsheng, the commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, arrived, Pei Zhi opened the city gate to welcome the Northern Wei army, and handed over all the keys to the city gate and warehouse to Xi Kangsheng.Xi Kangsheng summoned the elders and gentry in the city to read the imperial edict of Emperor Yuanke of the Northern Wei Dynasty to appease and encourage him.The government of the Northern Wei Dynasty appointed Pei Zhi as the governor of Yanzhou (the state government set up Xiaqiu), Li Yuanhu as the governor of Qizhou (the state government set up Licheng), Xi Fayou as the governor of Yuzhou, and the military officer (military leader), Jingzhao County (overseas county) · Wang Shibi, a native of Xiangfan City, Hubei Province, served as the governor of Xuzhou in the south (the prefecture government set up a dormitory).

4. Yong Daoxi, the leader of the mutated people in Brazil (Mianyang City, Sichuan Province) of the Southern Qi Empire gathered more than 10,000 mutated people to attack the county; In March, Liu Jilian, the governor of Yizhou (the state government is located in Chengdu), sent Li Fengbo, the military councilor of the camp (joint army to join the army), to lead an army of 5,000 reinforcements, join forces with the army of the county government, and launch an attack to kill Yong Daoxi.Li Fengbo planned to take advantage of the victory to march to eliminate the remaining rebel troops in the eastern part of the county. Li Ying, the magistrate of Fu County (the county where the county government is located), dissuaded him, saying: "The government soldiers are lazy, and the officers are proud. Use the remaining prestige of the victory to go deep into dangerous areas. It’s not a perfect strategy. Why don’t you take a rest and think of other ways.” Li Fengbo ignored him and led all his troops into the mountains, and they were defeated and rushed back.

5. On March 15th, the Southern Qi government sent Pingxi General Cui Huijing to lead a water combat force to attack Shouyang.Emperor Xiao Baojuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty went to Langye City (North of Jiankang City, Baixia) under the strict protection of martial law to clean the streets, cut off pedestrians, and long curtains to see off Cui Huijing in person.Wearing a military uniform, Xiao Baojuan sat on the top of the city tower and summoned Cui Huijing to enter the long-veiled barrier alone. No one followed him. Overjoyed. Xiao Yi, the new governor of Yuzhou, led 30,000 infantry to garrison Xiaoxian (northwest of Hanshan County, Anhui Province); Li Shuxian, governor of Jiaozhou (Longbian County Government), led his troops to garrison Hefei (in the first month of 485, the second emperor Xiao Yu forced the then Jiaozhou Governor Li Shuxian entered the court and kept his official title).Xiao Yi sent deputy generals Hu Song and Li Jushi to lead an army of more than 10,000 people to garrison Sihu (Wantang, 20 kilometers east of Shou County, Anhui Province).Chen Bozhi, the military and political officer of the Hussar General's Mansion (Hussar Sima), led his fleet westward against the Huaihe River, approaching Shouyang, and anchored at Xiashi (southwest of Fengtai County, Anhui Province).Many gentry and residents in Shouyang City intend to respond.The surrendered commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xi Kangsheng, defended against the enemy externally and internally against rebellion. He closed the gate of Shouyang City and supported it for a month before the reinforcements from the Northern Wei Dynasty arrived.

On April 27th, Yuanxie, the king of Pengcheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Wang Su, the chariot general, attacked Hu Song, Chen Bozhi and others, smashing the land and water armies of the Southern Qi Dynasty.He also attacked Hefei (Hefei City, Anhui Province) and captured Li Shuxian alive.Commander Yu Wenfu suggested to Yuan Xie: "Jian'an (Gushi County, Henan Province) is an important town south of the Huaihe River, the throat of military operations on both sides. If it can be captured, it can further attack Yiyang (Xinyang City, Henan Province); if it is captured If not, Shouyang will be difficult to preserve." Yuan Xie agreed, and ordered Yu Wenfu to attack Jian'an, and Hu Jinglue, commander of the Southern Qi Jian'an garrison, went out of the city to surrender with his hands behind his back.

6. On April 30, Yuan Yun, the younger brother of the Northern Wei Dynasty, passed away. 7. When Cui Huijing, General Pingxi of the Southern Qi Empire set off from Jiankang, his son Cui Jue served as General Zhige, and the father and son secretly agreed on an action schedule: After Cui Huijing arrived in Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), Cui Jue immediately fled the capital and went to the Dad.After Cui Huijing led his army across Guangling for dozens of miles, he convened a meeting of all the military officers and said: "I have received the kindness of the three emperors (referring to the first emperor Xiao Daocheng, the second emperor Xiao Yu, and the fifth emperor Xiao Luan). He also accepted the heavy responsibility of assisting Tuogu (the fifth emperor Xiao Luan ordered Cui Huijing, Liu Yu, and Xiao Huixiu to work together), but the young master (Xiao Baojuan) was fatuous and violent, the government was corrupt, and the empire was in danger and did not support him. Today is the I should do my duty, and I plan to work with you to build great achievements and stabilize the country, what do you think?" Everyone responded unanimously.So the army turned back and headed towards Guangling.Cui Gongzu, a military and political officer, stayed in Guangling and opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city. Xiao Baojuan heard the news of the mutiny, and on March 12th, additionally awarded the garrison commander of the two districts of the capital (General Right Guard) Zuo Xingsheng: Royal Talisman Festival, Commander-in-Chief of the Water and Land Armies of the Capital Military Region (the governor of the Jiankang Water and Land Army), and crusaded Cui Xingsheng. Hui Jing.Cui Huijing stayed in Guangling for two days to gather his followers and cross the Yangtze River. At first, Xiao Baoxuan, the governor of South Xuzhou (Jingkou of the state government) and South Yanzhou, Jiangxia King, married Xu Xiaosi's daughter as a princess; Xu Xiaosi was killed (refer to last October), Xiao Baojuan issued an edict ordering him to divorce, Very resentful.Cui Huijing sent envoys to meet with him, and enshrined Xiao Baoxuan as the leader of the alliance; Xiao Baoxuan killed the envoys, mobilized the army, and went to the city to defend.Xiao Baojuan sent Qi Ping, the commander of the cavalry (Ma Junzhu), and Huang Linfu, the director of foreign affairs of the palace (outside supervisor), to Jingkou (Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) to assist in the defense.On the eve of Cui Huijing's crossing of the Yangtze River, Xiao Baoxuan sent people to secretly contact Cui Huijing, and his attitude changed drastically. He punished Kong Jin, the military and political officer who was still loyal to the central government, Lu Chengxu, the sending and receiving officer (signature), Qi Ping, and Huang Linfu, and opened the city gate. Greet Cui Huijing; order Secretary-General (Chang Shi) Shen Yizhi and Chief Military Counselor (Consultant) Liu Wei to deploy separately.Xiao Baoxuan followed Cui Huijing's army and set off for the capital Jiankang in an eight-carried sedan chair, holding a red flag in his hand.The central government sent six generals including Xiaoqi General Zhang Fohu and Zhige General Che Xu Yuancheng to garrison Zhuli (north of Jurong City, Jiangsu Province), built several fortresses, blocked main roads, and blocked the advance of the rebels.Xiao Baoxuan sent a messenger and said to Zhang Fohu: "As a prince, I will return to Beijing to enter the court. It is logical and prestige. Why do you try your best to block my way?" Zhang Fohu replied: "My status is low, and the Mongolian country is rich En, let me build a small military base here, Your Highness returns to Beijing to enter the court, please pass through, how dare I stop!" So, he only shot at Cui Huijing's army, and fought hand-to-hand.The vanguard soldiers led by Cui Jue and Cui Gongzu of the rebel army were brave and good at fighting, but marched lightly, did not cook and eat, and only used small boats full of wine and food as rations.Whenever they saw the smoke rising from the fortress, they immediately launched a fierce attack, and the central army was unable to eat, and fell into starvation and poverty.Xu Yuan said that when he suggested to surrender, Zhang Fohu refused.Cui Gongzu and others attacked more violently, then captured the castle and beheaded Zhang Fohu.Xu Yuan said he would surrender, and the other four military leaders died. On March 15th, Xiao Baojuan sent Wang Ying, the director of the Central Forbidden Army (the leader of the central army), to lead various troops to build a fortress at Hutou (East of Xuanwu Lake), together with the two foothills of Jiangshan (East of Jiankang City) There were tens of thousands of troops stationed there.Wang Ying is the great-grandson of Wang Dan (Wang Dan was favored by Sima Yuanxian, refer to the first month of 402).When Cui Huijing arrived at Chayu (unknown place today), Wan Fuer, a native of Zhutang (unknown place now), suggested: "Now, the roads are all cut off by the central army, and it is not possible to consider marching from flat ground. There is only one way, and that is to climb Jiang Going up the mountain path will surprise them." Cui Huijing accepted, and then sent more than a thousand people to climb the mountain in a file, and rushed down from the west foot overnight, killing drums, shaking the earth, and attacking the fortress of Hutou. Scattered and fled.Xiao Baojuan then sent Zuo Xingsheng, the garrison commander of the western district of the capital, to lead 30,000 imperial guards in the palace to guard the Beili Gate; Zuo Xingsheng immediately retreated when he heard the news. On March 24th, Cui Huijing entered Leyou Garden (Xuanwu Hunan). Cui Gongzu led more than ten lightly equipped cavalry, entered the Beiye Gate of Miyagi City, and then fought out.All the gates of Miyagi were closed, and Cui Huijing commanded the army to surround them heavily.As a result, the important military city bases of Dongfu (Prime Minister's Mansion·South of Jiankang City), Shitou (Northwest of Jiankang City), Baixia, and Xinting (Southwest of Jiankang City) all collapsed.Zuo Xingsheng retreated and was unable to enter the palace, so he hid in a boat on the Qinhuai River for picking grass. Cui Huijing found him and beheaded him.Miyagi sent troops to attack, but they could not be defeated.Cui Huijing set fire to the General Procuratorate (Lantai) to open up the battlefield.Xiao Chang, temporarily serving as the Imperial City Security Commander (Guard Captain), is stationed at Nanyemen, responsible for military operations for the defense of Miyagi, and resists the attacks launched by the rebels at any time.Cui Huijing claimed that she was ordered by the Queen Mother Wang Baoming of Xuande (Wang Baoming is the official wife of Prince Wenhui Xiao Changmao, and her son Xiao Zhaoye, the third emperor, ascended the throne and honored her as the "Empress Dowager". His former residence was renamed Xuande Palace. According to his seniority, he was the cousin of the current emperor Xiao Baojuan), Xiao Baojuan was deposed, and he was renamed King Wu. During Wang Jingze's mutiny (refer to April of the previous year), Xiao Luan, the fifth emperor (Emperor Ming), once gathered all the princes in the palace.When Chen Xianda mutinied (refer to November last year), Xiao Baojuan summoned the princes to enter the palace again.Xiao Zhaozhou, Prince of Baling, was still terrified by the fact that the fifth Emperor Xiao Luan ordered the princes to enter the palace, and the princes were almost slaughtered, so he and his younger brother Yongxin Hou Xiao Zhaoying, pretended to be monks, and fled to Jiangxi (central Anhui Province).Xiao Zhaozhou is the son of Xiao Ziliang, king of Jingling (Xiao Ziliang is the son of the second emperor Xiao Yu, refer to the first month of 484).When Cui Huijing raised an army and Xiao Zhaozhou's brothers came out to seek refuge, Cui Huijing changed his mind and wanted to support Xiao Zhaozhou, hesitating, no one knew who to choose (Xiao Baoxuan, the son of the fifth emperor Xiao Luan; Xiao Zhaozhou , is the grandson of the second emperor Xiao Yu) The rebel army won the first battle in Zhuli, Cui Jue and Cui Gongzu fought for merit, but Cui Huijing could not judge.Cui Gongzu persuaded Cui Huijing to shoot and burn the tower of Beiyemen with rockets.Cui Huijing believed that the big event would be a success. After it was burned, if it was rebuilt in the future, it would require a lot of money and manpower, so he refused to accept it.Cui Huijing likes to talk, but also has opinions on Buddhism; the headquarters is set up in Falun Temple, and he only talks with guests (what point) every day, Cui Gongzu feels very resentful. At that time, Xiao Yi, governor (newly appointed) of Yuzhou (after surrendering to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Southern Qi government set up another state government in Liyang), led the army to garrison Xiaoxian to attack Pei Shuye, and Xiao Baojuan sent a secret mission to Xiao Yi to return to the army to rescue the capital.Xiao Yi was eating. When he received the order, he immediately put down his chopsticks. He led thousands of soldiers, including Hu Song and Li Jushi, to cross the Yangtze River from Caishi (Qishiji, southwest of Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province) and land in Yuecheng (Jiankang City). In the south of the city), the beacon fire was lit, and the people in Miyagi shouted and shouted, thankful that the reinforcements had arrived.Before, Cui Gongzu suggested that Cui Huijing send 2,000 people to quarry first, block the Yangtze River, and prevent the reinforcements from the other side from crossing the river.Cui Huijing thought that Miyagi was about to surrender, and once surrendered, the foreign rescuers would collapse, and refused to accept Cui Gongzu's opinion.As soon as King Xiao Yiqin's army arrived in Yuecheng, Cui Gongzu requested to fight immediately, but Cui Huijing refused. However, he sent his son Cui Jue to lead thousands of elite troops to defend the south bank of the Qinhuai River.Xiao Yi launched an attack at dawn, desperate to fight to the death, after only a few rounds, Cui Juejun was defeated and fled, and more than 2,000 people were thrown into the Qinhuai River and drowned.Cui Jue retreated alone, pulled up the Qinhuai River suspension bridge, and cut off the north-south traffic.Cui Gongzu snatched the dancer from the uterus, and Cui Jue used pressure to snatch the dancer away.Cui Gongzu had accumulated too much anger, and that night, he and Cui Huijing's subordinates bravely sent Liu Lingyun to Miyagi to surrender.The morale of the rebels collapsed in an instant. In summer, on April 4th, Cui Huijing realized that the situation was over, so he quietly escaped from the camp with only a few confidantes and attendants, intending to cross the Yangtze River north.The rebels in the northern part of Miyagi did not know that they had been abandoned by their leaders, and they were still resisting the battle there.The defenders of Miyagi went out to sweep the battlefield, beheading hundreds of people.King Xiao Yiqin's army crossed the Qinhuai River to the north bank (the north bank is Jiankang City), and the remnants of Cui Huijing's rebel army all fled.Cui Huijing besieged Miyagi for twelve days and was finally defeated.His confidants gradually slipped away halfway, and finally Cui Huijing was the only one left, and fled to Xiepu (northwest of Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province), where he was killed by a fisherman, who put his head in a basket containing loach. Presented in Jiankang, the capital.Cui Gongzu was imprisoned in the ordnance factory (Shangfang), and soon beheaded.Cui Jue fled to the temple to become a monk. After being discovered, he was captured alive, bound to the execution ground, and beheaded. When Xiao Baoxuan first arrived in Jiankang, he was stationed in Dongfu City, and many officials and people went to serve him.Cui Huijing failed, King Qin's army searched out government officials or civil gentry to vote for Xiao Baoxuan and Cui Huijing's roster, Southern Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan ordered to burn it, saying: "King Jiangxia (Xiao Baoxuan) is still like that, how can you blame others!" (Hu Three provinces note: "A stupid person, don't have a sentence that is in line with the truth! Xiao Baojuan's sentence is right.") Xiao Baoxuan fled and hid for a few days before coming out.Xiao Baojuan told him to go to the back hall, wrapped him in a cloth barrier, and ordered dozens of people around him to beat the drums and horns and run around him non-stop. He sent someone to say to Xiao Baoxuan: "You surround me these days. ,is also like this." At first, Cui Huijing planned to make friends with the hermit and refuse.When Cui Huijing surrounded Jiankang, he forced He Dian to meet him; He Dian had no choice but to go to Daying and talk with Cui Huijing every day, never touching politics and military affairs.After Cui Huijing failed, Xiao Baojuan planned to kill He Dian.Xiao Chang said to Ru Fazhen: "If you don't lure the thieves (Cui Huijing) together to talk nonsense and chew maggots, the current situation will develop and it is difficult to predict (if Cui Huijing devotes all his energy to attacking the city, it will be difficult to know the safety). From this point of view, He Dian should really be conferred a title!" Xiao Baojuan then dismissed his original intention.What point is He Yin's elder brother (He Yin lives in seclusion, refer to April of the previous year). 8. Xiao Yi, the commander of the Southern Qi Empire's crusade against Shouyang and the governor of Yuzhou, returned from Xiaoxian to reinforce the capital, and Wang Su, the chariot general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, also returned to Luoyang.Some hooligans who defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty echoed what others said, insisting that Wang Su planned to defect to the Southern Qi Empire. On May 6th, Yuan Ke (eighteen years old this year), Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty (eighth emperor of Xuanwu), issued an imperial edict to appoint Wang Su as the commander-in-chief of the three prefectures of Henan and Xusi (supervisor of the three prefectures of Henan and Xusi), governor of Yuzhou, Feng Xifeng Gong. 9. On May 10, the Southern Qi government executed Jiang Xia King Xiao Baoxuan. On May 13, the Southern Qi government granted amnesty. On May 26, the Southern Qi government granted another special amnesty to the Jiankang, Southern Xuzhou, and Yanzhou areas.At first, Cui Huijing's war was pacified, and Southern Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan issued an edict (May 13th) to pardon Cui Huijing's henchmen.However, the favored domestic slave jester came to power and ignored the imperial edict at all: those who had no crime but had property were framed as rebel bandits, and their property was confiscated after they were killed.In fact, the rebels who joined the rebels and the civilians did not ask any questions because their families were poor.Someone reported to Legislative Yuan Legislator Wang Junzhi (晅, sound xuan): "The pardon is deceptive, and people are outraged!" Wang Junzhi said: "It doesn't matter, there is a second pardon." Therefore, pardon again.Before long, the favored household jester was killing at will, as before. 10. On June 8, the Northern Wei government promoted Wang Yuanxie of Pengcheng to be the supreme commander of the national armed forces (Da Sima) and concurrently served as prime minister; Wang Su was also granted the third division of Kaifu Yitong. Dayang (Pinglu County, Shanxi Province) Man chieftain Tian Yuqiu and other 28,000 households surrendered to the government; the government set up four counties and 18 counties in the area where the Qunman lived. 11. Emperor Xiao Baojuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty favored thirty-one servants and jesters, and ten servants to eunuchs (Huangmen).General Zhige and Xiaoqi General Xu Shibiao has always been trusted by Xiao Baojuan, and almost all executions are carried out by Xu Shibiao.When Chen Xianda rebelled against the central government, Xiao Baojuan promoted Xu Shibiao as the general of the auxiliary country; although Xiao Baojuan used Cui Huijing, the military director of the central government (general of the army) as the commander-in-chief of the crusade army (refer to November last year), but he held the military power. In the hands of Xu Shibiao.Xu Shibiao also knew that Xiao Baojuan was weak and violent, so he secretly said to his henchmen Ru Fazhen and Mei Chonger: "Which dynasty does not have a bad king, but our king is extremely bad." Ru Fazhen and others are fighting for power with him. Xiao Baojuan secretly reported this to Xiao Baojuan, and Xiao Baojuan had hated Xu Shibiao's ferocity and tenacity for a long time, so he sent the imperial guards to kill him, Xu Shibiao fought bravely, and finally died.Since then, Ru Fazhen and Mei Chong'er have been in power, and they have served as the director of foreign affairs of the palace together. Every word they say is to convey the emperor's edict or order.Wang Yuzhi was in charge of the clerical work and depended on the two of them. Xiao Baojuan loved the concubine Pan Yunu the most (the first level of the concubine group), and called Pan Yunu's father Pan Baoqing and Ru Fazhen "Azhang"; Since the times, folks like to use the word "A" to speak, such as "A father", "A brother", "A Rong", etc.).Xiao Baojuan went to Pan Baoqing's house with Ru Fazhen and others, went to the well to draw water, and helped the cook cook.Pan Baoqing took advantage of his power to bully others, committed adultery and violated the law, and accused rich people of treason; he asked Xiao Baojuan to reward him with every piece of land and property of the prisoner.One family was framed, and the disaster spread to the surrounding neighbors.Pan Baoqing also considered that the opponent might have revenge in the future, so in order to kill the grass and roots, all the boys of the opponent were killed. Xiao Baojuan also often went to the home of the "Daozhi Shengzhi" (Daozhi) for games and banquets. The "Edict of Lifting the Knife" family had a wedding and funeral, and Xiao Baojuan went to celebrate and mourn. Eunuch Wang Baosun, aged thirteen or fourteen years old, nicknamed "Gunzi" (a ghost driven by tigers, called "Ghost", this kind of ghost specializes in guiding tigers to eat people, evil, ruthless, and scheming), the most favored, participated in government decision.Even Wang Junzhi and Mei Chong'er have to bow their heads to him.Wang Baosun commanded senior officials at will, changed the emperor's imperial edict and instructions at any time, and even rode into the Jinluan Palace, yelling and reprimanding Xiao Baojuan at every turn; when the three princes and ministerial officials saw Wang Baosun, none of them were so frightened that they dared not breathe loudly... 12. Murong Fulianchou, Khan (fourteenth term) of the Tuyuhun Khanate (Qinghai Province), served the Northern Wei Empire very thoughtfully, and did all the etiquette that a vassal should do.But within the Khanate, hundreds of civil and military officials were set up, and the government structure was the same as that of the empire. For neighboring countries, they regarded themselves as kings and regarded them as vassals.Emperor Yuanke of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent envoys to reprimand him, but he still tolerated it. 13. Chen Bozhi, the champion general of the Southern Qi Empire and the military and political officer of the Hussar General's Mansion (Hussar Sima) led his army to attack Shouyang again.Yuan Xie, king of Pengcheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty, ascended the city to resist, but the reinforcements had not yet arrived. Fu Yong, the governor of Ruyin County (Fuyang City, Anhui Province), led 3,000 people from the county government to reinforce him.Chen Bozhi built a city at Huaikou (the place where the East Ru River in Huaibin County, Henan Province flows into the Huaihe River), and the defense was strong.Fu Yong used manpower to pull the ship more than 20 miles away from Huaikou, and advanced along the south bank of Ru River, then changed to buffalo to pull the fiber, and went south into the Huai River.And Nan Qi's blocking troops also arrived at the same time.That night, when Fu Yong secretly entered Shouyang, Yuan Xie was overjoyed and said, "I look to the north, day after day, I'm afraid Luoyang (the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty) will never see you again. I never thought you would come here." Yuan Xie ordered Fu Yong led the army into the city; Fu Yong said: "I came here first to repel the enemy. If I followed your instructions and came to accompany Your Highness to accept the siege, how could it be the original intention to rescue the soldiers!" So he stationed outside Shouyang City. In autumn, on August 18th, Yuan Xie assigned the soldiers combat missions, cooperated with Fu Yong, and attacked Feikou, Chen Bozhi's base camp (where the fertilizer water flows into the Huaihe River), defeated the Southern Qi army, beheaded 9,000 people, and captured 10,000 people. .Since the First World War, Huainan County (Shouyang) has become the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty (the Southern Dynasty lost both Pengcheng and Shouyang, and the border is getting closer to the Yangtze River). The Northern Wei government sent Zhennan General Yuan Ying to lead an army to reinforce Huainan, but before arriving, Chen Bozhi had been defeated, and Emperor Yuanke of the Northern Wei Dynasty recalled Yuan Xie to Luoyang.Yuan Xie continued to go to Shu, resigned the supreme commander and prime minister, and asked to return to Zhongshan (Dingzhou City, Hebei Province) and become the governor of Dingzhou (Zhongshan, the state government).Yuan Ke refused, and appointed Yuan Ying as the executive officer of Yangzhou headquarters (doing Yangzhou affairs).Soon after, Wang Su was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military region south of the Huaihe River (the governor of the Huainan military forces) and the governor of Yangzhou, "holding the festival" to succeed Yuan Xie. 14. On the night of August 17th (the original text is "Jiachen", modified according to the "Book of Nanqi"), the Southern Qi harem caught fire. At that time, Emperor Xiao Baojuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty was traveling in the streets and alleys, but did not return to the palace. Outsiders did not dare to open the palace gate without authorization. The people in the palace were unable to escape.When the gate of the palace was opened, the bodies of maids and eunuchs were burned to death, and more than 30 houses were burned down. At that time, the favored domestic slaves and jesters all used the word "ghost" as their nickname.There was a "Zhao Gui" who was able to read "Xijing Fu", and said to Xiao Baojuan: "After the fire at Bailiang Terrace, the Jianzhang Palace was built." There is this second language. For the fire at Bailiang Terrace and the construction of Jianzhang Palace, refer to 104 years ago.) Xiao Baojuan then carried out large-scale construction, built Fangle, Yushou and other halls, painted the walls with musk, sculpted and painted, and decorated , Extravagant and luxurious, magnificent and magnificent.The craftsmen worked day and night, from night to dawn, but they still couldn't keep up with the progress required by Xiao Baojuan. The clothing and utensils used by the concubines and maids in the harem are very strange and precious; the old things stored by the royal family are no longer enough, so they buy folk gold, silver and jewelry at high prices, which are several times higher than usual.The Jiankang wine tax is converted into gold for the people to pay, but it is still insufficient.Xiao Baojuan carved a lotus out of gold and pasted it on the ground, and ordered his concubine Pan Yunu to walk on it, saying: "This is the lotus that grows every step of the way!" He also asked the people to pay the red feathers on the pheasant's head, the feathers of the crane and the fluff of the egret instead of taxes. ; the favored household jester takes advantage of this opportunity and makes a profit out of it.The emperor only asked for one piece of tribute, but the favored household slaves asked the people to pay ten pieces of tribute; they also sent people to various states and counties to solicit business, pay taxes on behalf of the people, and receive cash, but they did not hand it over to the local government. All were invaded and occupied; the county magistrates dared not say a word, so they had to expropriate from the people, and so on, repeatedly, the people were poor and impoverished, crying on the road. Bo Yang said: An uncertain legend: The custom of "binding feet" that harmed Chinese women most severely came from the idea of ​​Xiao Baojuan, the subjugated king of the Southern Qi Dynasty, in the first ten years of the sixth century, and it was performed by Pan Yunu.Perhaps the golden lotus can't set off the whiteness of the jade feet, and the jade feet are slightly wrapped in tulle, which seems to be more sexy than bare feet.As a result, day after day, year after year, after the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, the custom of foot binding became irresistible.Chinese women had to fall into a place of eternal doom. Over the past thousand years, the feet of more than half of the Chinese people had been tortured by manpower, their toe bones were broken, and their feet were not like feet, but like a wooden pestle for pounding rice.Every night, if we listen carefully, we will hear the tragic cries of young girls in every household in China. When western little girls are in kindergarten or elementary school, happy and become their parents’ pets, Chinese girls are being treated by their parents. torture.This kind of entangled little feet not only looks ugly, but also emits a strange smell.However, some literary demons turned the rot into a miracle, and turned it into a thin and fragrant three-inch golden lotus. The facts were reversed to such an extent that the Chinese born after the 20th century were ashamed. This is a big confusion, not only to ask: Do Chinese people have aesthetic cells?Chinese people can't tell what is beauty?What is ugly?What is incense?What is smelly?Do Chinese people have the ability to appreciate?Deep in the tradition, we don't understand beauty, so we fear and reject beauty, and even think beauty is a kind of evil.In the end, evil becomes beauty instead.Women's foot binding is an example. 15. Wu Ziyang, the commander of the Southern Qi Empire, led his army to invade the territory of the Northern Wei Empire from three passes (three passes: Pingjing Pass, Wuyang Pass, and Huangxian Pass). In September, Wu Ziyang and others fought in Changfeng City (south of Huangchuan County, Henan Province) with Tian Yizong, governor of Eastern Yuzhou (the state government set up Xinqi) in the Northern Wei Dynasty; Wu Ziyang and others were defeated and returned. 16. When Xiao Yi, the governor of Yuzhou in the Southern Qi Empire, went south from Xiaoxian to reinforce the capital, Xiao Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, sent his confidant Yu Anfu to ride there, and advised Xiao Yi: "After killing the thieves (referring to Cui Huijing), you will establish the emperor as an envoy. A great achievement that cannot be rewarded. Facing a wise king, you may not be able to protect yourself, let alone such a confused government, how can you avoid death? If the thieves extinguish the fire, you lead the army into the palace, and perform the great things that Yi Yin and Huo Guang did. This is a rare opportunity. If you can’t, you should go to the Central Committee, teach Liyang, and declare that you will do your best to deal with foreign aggressors, and your prestige will deter the inside and outside. Who dares to disobey orders! Neither of these two things can be done. Once you give up military power, accept His wealth and glory, although his status is high, he must regret that he does not have an army." Secretary General Xu Yaofu also tried hard to speak, but Xiao Yi totally disagreed. After Cui Huijing died, Xiao Baojuan appointed Xiao Yi as Premier of the State Council (Shang Shu Ling).Xiao Yi has nine younger brothers: Xiao Fu, Xiao Yan, Xiao Chang, Xiao Rong, Xiao Hong, Xiao Wei, Xiao Xiu, Xiao Ying, and Xiao Hui.Xiao Yi is the head of the government with his great achievements; Xiao Chang is the security commander of the imperial city and manages the city gate keys.At that time, Emperor Xiao Baojuan of the Southern Qi Dynasty suddenly left the city and entered the palace suddenly, and his actions were erratic. Someone suggested to Xiao Yi: While Xiao Baojuan was out of the city for a stroll, urgently mobilize the army to depose him, but Xiao Yi did not accept it.The favored domestic slaves and jesters Ru Fazhen, Wang Yuzhi, etc., hated Xiao Yi's too much power, and warned Xiao Baojuan: "Xiao Yi will follow the example of dealing with Xiao Zhaoye (refer to July 494), and His Majesty's life will be at stake." In an instant." Xiao Baojuan believed.When Xu Yaofu got the news, he secretly prepared a ship on the small island of the Yangtze River, and persuaded Xiao Yi to flee and go to Xiangyang.Xiao Yi said: "People have died since ancient times, how can there be a defecting Premier of the State Council!" But Xiao Yi's brother and nephew are on strict guard. In winter, on October 13th, Xiao Baojuan sent someone to send the poison to the State Council (Shangshu Province) to Xiao Yi.Before Xiao Yi died, he said: "My younger brother (Xiao Yan) is in Yongzhou, and I am really worried about the government." Xiao Yi's younger brothers and nephews all fled and hid among the people, and no one reported it.Only Xiao Rong was arrested and beheaded. 17. On October 21st, the Northern Wei government appointed Yuan Xie, king of Pengcheng, as prime minister and in charge of government secrets (recording official affairs). Yuan Xie resolutely resigned, but Emperor Yuan Ke of the Northern Wei Dynasty refused.Yuan Xie has a tranquil temperament, doesn't like glory and wealth, and doesn't like fame and snobbery.The seventh emperor (Emperor Xiaowen) Yuan Hong respected his talents, so he entrusted him with a great deal of responsibility. Although there was a clear edict allowing him to retire, he was still retained by the current emperor (eighth Emperor Xuanwu) Yuan Ke.Yuan Xie often sighed because his wish could not be realized many times, and he felt lonely.Yuan Xie has a graceful demeanor, dignified and solemn, like a god.Usually, when dealing with people, they follow the rules; going in and out, talking and laughing, making people happy and forgetful.Yuan Xie loved literary history, and he kept reading while dealing with official duties.Be cautious and never make mistakes.Even in leisure time, living alone, there is no lazy and slack expression.Respect the elegant intellectuals of the Confucian school, and treat each other with courtesy.Honest and upright, simple and plain, there is no one in the family who meets privately because of business. On November 3, Huanhui, the governor of East Jingzhou (the state government is located in Biyang), attacked the Southern Qi Empire and conquered Xiaruo Garrison (northeast of Xiangfan City, Hubei Province); there were more than 2,000 Southern Qi residents who returned to Huanhui.Huan Hui is the son of Huan Dan (Huan Dan's descent to the Northern Wei Dynasty, refer to the first month of 472). 18、最初，南齐帝萧宝卷，疑心雍州州长萧衍可能对中央图谋不轨。直后将军、荥阳郡（侨郡）人郑植的老弟郑绍叔当萧衍的宁蛮司令部秘书长（宁蛮长史。雍州州长兼任宁蛮校尉），萧宝卷命郑植以探望郑绍叔名义，前往行刺萧衍。郑绍叔得到消息，秘密报告萧衍。萧衍在郑绍叔家摆下筵席，对郑植开玩笑说：“中央派你当刺客，今天宴会，正是大好良机。”宾主都大笑。萧衍又招待郑植参观城防工程、仓库、战士、兵马、武器、船舰。郑植告退后，对郑绍叔说：“雍州实力雄厚，不容易对付。”郑绍叔说：“老哥回去，应把所见到的全部报告天子（萧宝卷），如果用武力夺取雍州，我就凭着这些装备，一决死战。”郑植返京时，郑绍叔送他到南岘（即岘山·襄阳城南五千米。孙坚在此战死，羊祜坠泪碑也在此），痛哭握别（一旦战争爆发，兄弟敌对，难再相见）。 萧懿死讯传到襄阳，萧衍深夜召集张弘策、吕僧珍、秘书长王茂、总务官（别驾）柳庆远、人事官（功曹）吉士瞻等，在家中商议对策，最后决定，用最强烈的手段反应。王茂，是王天生的儿子（王天生攻击袁粲事，参考四七七年十二月）。柳庆远，是柳元景的侄儿（柳元景之死，参考四六五年八月十三日）。 十一月九日，萧衍集合僚属，说：“皇上（萧宝卷）昏聩暴虐，罪恶超过子受辛，我准备跟各位同心协力，把他除掉。”当天建立大本营，竖起义旗，集结部众，约有武装土卒一万余人，战马一千余匹，船舶三千余艘。把檀溪中储存的木材、竹竿，拿来建造舰艇，用茅草做成船篷，事情立刻办妥。各将领争夺船桨，吕僧珍把原先准备的拿出来，每船分配两支，争论才算平息。 这时，南康王萧宝融当荆州州长；西翼警卫指挥部秘书长（西中郎长史）萧颖胄当总部执行官（行府州事，萧宝融武职是西中郎将）。南齐帝萧宝卷派辅国将军、巴西、梓潼二郡（二郡郡政府皆设涪城）郡长刘山阳，率军三千人前往任所；命他路过江陵时，会合萧颖胄的军队袭击襄阳。萧衍得到情报，派军事参议官（参军）王天虎前往江陵，送信给总部各位官员，声称：“刘山阳大军两上，将同时袭击荆（江陵）、雍（襄阳）二州。”萧衍对属下将领及幕僚说：“荆州一向畏惧襄阳（襄阳是边陲重镇，军民骁勇善战），加上唇亡齿寒，怎能不暗中跟我们同心！我集结荆、雍二州的兵力，擂动战鼓，大举东下，纵然韩信、白起复活，也不能拯救建康，何况一个昏君和一群'提刀圣旨'之徒！”萧颖冑接到信，犹豫不能决定。而中央军刘山阳已抵达巴陵（湖南省岳阳市），萧衍派王天虎携带两封书信，再往江陵，分别呈递萧颖胄及他的老弟、南康王府宾友（王友）萧颖达。王天虎出发后，萧衍对张弘策说：“指挥军队作战，以心战最为重要。前些时派王天虎到荆州，每人都有函件，这一次王天虎乘驿马车十万火急赶往，却只携带呈递萧颖胄兄弟的两封信，信上写明：'由王天虎口头报告。'可是，当问王天虎有什么报告时，王天虎却不知道有什么报告。王天虎是萧颖胄的亲戚，那边的人一定认为萧颖胄跟王天虎共同隐瞒一个秘密，于是每个人都会生出疑心。刘山阳自然也会猜忌，跟萧颖胄保持距离。到那时候，萧颖冑无论进退，都没有办法证明，自会跳进我的圈套，是以，两封平淡的信，却可以平定一州。”（胡三省注：“萧衍在襄阳举事，妙计百出。后来遇到侯景，不如一个白痴。难道是他老了，或是上天夺取他的魂魄？”中国多的是半截英雄，有能力创造奇迹，没有能力保持奇迹：说萧衍是半截英雄还是恭维他，实际上从头到尾都是庸碌之辈，运气来了，小聪明多如牛毛。他欠缺大智慧，没有后劲，不得不败得悲惨。） 刘山阳大军挺进到江安（湖北省公安县），逗留停顿十余日，不肯北上：萧颖胄大为恐惧，不知道如何是好。夜晚，召集西翼警卫指挥部城防军事参议官（西中郎城局参军）、安定（侨郡·湖北省南漳县西）人席阐文，首席军事参议宫（咨议参军）柳忱，在戒备森严的书房中召开秘密会议。席阐文说：“萧衍招兵买马，已不是一天。江陵一向畏惧襄阳，而且江陵又寡不敌众。如果攻击萧衍，一定无法克制；即令可以克制，最后仍不会被中央包容。现在，如果诛杀刘山阳，跟萧衍联合起兵，另行拥护一位新皇帝，号令全国，霸主的事业就可以建立。问题是，刘山阳迟迟不进，是他对我们已不信任。只有一个办法使他信任，那就是先斩王天虎，把王天虎的人头送给刘山阳，化解他的猜疑，等他到达时，再向他下手，不可能不成功。”柳忱说：“皇帝疯狂荒唐，一天比一天严重，京师显贵官员，没有一个不站着时不敢动移、停着时不敢呼吸。幸而他是那么遥远，使我们暂时得以保住性命。讨伐萧衍，只是中央使我们两州互相击毙对方的谋略。难道看不见国务院总理萧懿的下场？萧懿率精兵数千人，攻破崔慧景十万大军，而竟被一群鲨鱼陷害，灾难相接。如果对从前事件不忘，它就是后来事件的教师。而且，雍州士卒骁勇善战，粮多将广。萧衍英姿，盖世无双，刘山阳绝对抵挡不住。萧衍如果击破刘山阳，我们荆州又要接受违犯军律的责备，进不能进，退不能退，应该深思。”萧颖达也劝告萧颍胄接受席阐文的建议。第二天早晨，萧颖胄召见王天虎，说：“你跟刘山阳相识，事到今天，不得不借一下你的人头。”遂斩王天虎，把人头送给刘山阳，一面征调民间车辆牛只，宣称出动步兵远征襄阳；刘山阳大喜过望。 十一月十八日，刘山阳抵达江津（江陵县东南十千米），乘坐一辆车子，身穿白色衣服，带了左右几十个卫士，进城拜会萧颖胄。萧颖胄派前汶阳郡（湖北省远安县）郡长刘孝庆等在城内设下伏兵，刘山阳一进城门，伏兵突起，就在车上击斩刘山阳。刘山阳的副带兵官李元履集结部众，请求归降。 柳忱，是柳世隆的儿子（柳世隆，参考四六六年四月）。萧颖冑忧虑西翼警卫指挥部军政官（西中郎司马）夏侯详不赞成起兵反抗中央，告诉柳忱。柳忱说：“容易得很！最近夏侯详向我家求婚，我还没有答应。”遂把女儿嫁给夏侯详的儿子夏侯夔，然后把密谋告诉他，夏侯详同意。 十一月十九日，萧颖胄用南康王萧宝融的名义，下令戒严；又下令赦免囚犯，赏赐给他们恩德，颁布奖赏标准。 十一月二十日，萧颖胄再用萧宝融名义，任命萧衍“使持节”（一级权力）、前锋大军总司令官（都督前锋诸军事）。 十一月二十一日，再任命萧颖胄当前进及留守大军总司令官（都督行留诸军事）。萧颖胄有才能、度量，自公开背叛中央，谦卑虚心，委曲自己，顾全大局，人心归附。因总务官（别驾）、南阳郡（河南省南阳市）人宗夬（音guai）以及同郡人、大营军事参议官（中兵参军）刘坦，首席军事参议官乐蔼，都受本州人士推乐敬重；萧颖胄遇到总部重要措施，总是向他们请教。萧颖胄、宗夬每人都捐出自己的财产及布帛、粮秣；又向富家交换借贷物资，供应军需。长沙寺的和尚一向富有（四三二年六月，南宋临川王刘义庆当荆州州长，为老爹长沙王刘道怜祈福，兴建庙院，名长沙寺），用黄金铸成金龙，有数千两重，埋在土中。萧颖胄把它掘出，捐输给军队。 萧颖胄派人把刘山阳的人头送给萧衍，并且说：本年不利军事行动，应延缓到明年（五〇一年）二月间出兵。萧衍说：“发动大事，全靠一股锐气。一个突破接一个突破，还恐怕惊疑懈怠，如果停留一百天，一定后悔莫及。而且，十万武装部队，按兵不动，粮秣先行吃光，只要有一个小娃起来反对，我们的大事就不会成功。何况，部署已经完成，怎么可以中途停止？从前，姬发（武王）讨伐子受辛（纣帝），在冒犯'太岁'之下进军；怎么可以坐在那里，等'太岁'自己变换方位，再采取行动？”（“太岁”，就是木星，古天文书记载，大岁星每十二年绕一个大圈。所在的方向，最为凶恶，不可以从事土木工程更不可以出兵。） 十一月二十二日，萧衍上疏南康王萧宝融，请登基称帝，萧宝融拒绝。 十二月，萧颖胄跟夏侯详，发布政治号召及军事命令给首都建康的文武百官以及全国各州郡政府首长，条条指控南齐帝萧宝卷以及梅虫兒、茹法珍的罪行。萧颖胄派冠军将军、天水郡（侨郡·湖北省宜城县东）人杨公则率军攻击湘州（州政府设临湘）；又派西翼瞥卫指挥部军事参议官（西中郎参军）、南郡（湖北省江陵县）人邓元起攻击夏口（郢州州政府所在城·湖北省武汉市）；带兵官王法度，被认为不及时前进，撤职。 十二月十日，荆州各将领及参谋僚佐，再建议萧宝融登基称帝，萧宝融仍不应许。夏侯详的儿子、骁骑将军夏侯亶在京师当殿中禁卫总队长（殿中主帅），夏侯详秘密召唤，夏侯亶遂自建康逃回。 十二月二十七日，夏侯亶抵达江陵，宣称奉宣德皇太后王宝明的命令：“南康王（萧宝融）应继承大统，可等待京师方面清除宫廷。在没有使用皇帝称号之前，特别赏赐给他十个郡，封宣城王（晋帝国时，七任帝元帝司马睿，以琅邪王身份当皇帝，所以琅邪王异于其他亲王，居于储君的第二顺位。南齐帝国五任帝明帝萧鸾。以宣城王身份当皇帝，所以宣城王跟琅邪王同样特别）。担任帝国相国兼荆州全权州长（牧），加授皇帝诛杀时专用的铜斧（黄钺），可以遴选文武百官；而原来职务：西翼警卫指挥官（西中郎府）、南康国（南康王采邑）仍然保持。等到皇家军队接近京师时，主管单位备法驾迎接。” 竟陵郡（湖北省钟祥市）郡长、新野郡（河南省新野县）人曹景宗派亲信向萧衍建议：应迎接萧宝融建都襄阳，先登大位，确定皇帝身份，然后出动大军；萧衍不同意。王茂私下对张弘策说：“现在，把萧宝融放到别人手里，别人挟持天子，号令全国。萧衍努力前进，不过受别人驱使，这岂是长远计划！”张弘策告诉萧衍，萧衍说：“如果大事不能传出捷报，当然玉石俱焚。如果攻无不克，威望震动四海，我岂是庸庸碌碌，受别人摆布之辈。”（不让权力魔杖滑出手掌，是野心家最大守则，萧衍否认是庸碌之辈，事实上恰是庸碌之辈，只是他的运气不错。萧颖胄不死，萧衍可能是袁绍第二。） 最初，陈显达、崔慧景之乱，人心不安。有人向上庸郡（湖北省竹山县西南田家坝）郡长、杜陵（侨县·湖北省襄樊市西）人韦叡询问对时事的看法，韦叡说：“陈显达虽然是沙场老将，却没有政治才干。崔慧景虽然阅历过不少事情，可是性情懦弱，魄力不够：他们全族都被诛杀，并不使人感到意外。将来安定天下的，莫非就在本州岛（雍州）！”遂命他的两个儿子去结交萧衍。等到萧衍聚众起兵，韦叡率郡政府军二千人，兼程前进，去襄阳投效。华山郡（湖北省宜城县）郡长、蓝田（侨县）人康绚率郡政府军三千人增援萧衍。郑县（湖北省老河口市西北）人冯道根在家为娘亲守三年之丧，也率同乡中能胜任作战的子弟投奔萧衍。梁州、南秦州（二州州政府设南郑）州长柳惔也起兵响应萧衍。柳谈，是柳忱的老哥。 萧宝卷听到刘山阳被杀消息，下诏动员，出军讨伐荆、雍二州叛徒。 十二月十三日，萧宝卷任命冠军将军府秘书长（冠军长史）刘浍（音kuai）当雍州州长；派骁骑将军薛元嗣、皇家制造事务总监（制局监）暨荣伯，率领大军及运送装载粮秣的一行四十余艘船只，增援郢州州长张冲，阻止反抗军前进。薛元嗣等对刘山阳中计被杀前事，深怀戒惧，因之疑惑张冲的立场，不敢前进，遂驻扎夏口浦；一直等反抗军逼近，才陆续进入郢城（夏口）。前竟陵郡郡长房僧寄准备回首都建康；经过郢城时，萧宝卷下诏，命房僧寄当骁骑将军，留下来驻防鲁山（湖北省武汉市汉水南岸）。张冲跟房僧寄一同向天盟誓，效忠中央，派带兵官孙乐祖率数千人，前往鲁山协防。 萧颖胄写信给武宁郡（湖北省荆门市北）郡长邓元起，要求他站在反抗军一边。张冲对邓元起一向厚待，所以大家都劝他返回郢城，邓元起在大庭广众中高声宣布，说：“皇上（萧宝卷）凶暴，屠杀高阶层官员，一群品质低劣的摇尾系统当权，官宦之家的品德道义全部沦丧。荆、雍二州同时发动大事，还怕失败？而且，我的娘亲在西方（邓元起是南郡人），如果事情失败，虽被昏暴的政府诛杀，却有幸可以免除不孝的罪过。”当天就收拾行李，西去江陵，担任西翼警卫指挥部大营军事参议官（西中郎中兵参军。这段史实应是追叙邓元起十一月间事，事实上此时邓元起正率军攻击夏口）。 湘州总部执行官（行事）张宝积征调军队保卫州城（临湘），不知道应该支持哪一边。反抗军冠军将军杨公则攻克巴陵，进击白沙（湖南省湘阴县北），张宝积恐惧，请求归降。杨公则进入长沙，对张定积和他的部众接纳安抚。 19、本年，南齐帝国北秦州州长杨集始率部众一万余人，从汉中（陕西省汉中市）出发北上，打算收回过去丧失的土地（杨集始被杨灵珍击败事，参考四九七年八月）。北魏帝国梁州（州政府设骆谷城）州长杨椿，率步骑兵五千人混合兵团据守下辩（甘肃省成县），写信给杨集始，分析利害，杨集始遂率领他的私人军队一千余人投降北魏。北魏政府恢复他的爵位——武兴王，命他回去镇守武兴（陕西省略阳县）。 1、春季，正月二日，南齐帝国（首都建康）皇帝（六任）萧宝卷（本年十九岁）任命晋安王萧宝义当宰相（司徒），建安王萧宝寅当车骑将军、开府仪同三司（宰相级）。 正月十日，反抗军盟主、南康王萧宝融开始称相国，大赦。任命萧颖胄当左秘书长（左长史）、萧衍当征东将军、杨公则当湘州（州政府设临湘）州长（刺史）。 正月十三日，萧衍率军从襄阳（雍州州政府所在县·湖北省襄樊市）出发，留下老弟萧伟当总部执行官（总府州事），另一老弟萧憺负责防卫城郊堡垒：征东将军府军政官（府司马）庄丘黑驻防樊城（湖北省襄樊市汉水北岸）。萧衍既然南下，州政府兵力和仓库粮秣十分空虚，而魏兴郡（陕西省安康市）郡长裴师仁、齐兴郡（湖北省邵县）郡长颜僧都不但不接受萧衍的命令，反而更集结部队，袭击襄阳。萧伟、萧憺派军在始平郡（侨郡·湖北省丹江口市西北）迎头拦击，大破二郡联军，雍州（襄阳）才转危为安。 2、北魏帝国（首都洛阳）咸阳王元禧担任首相（元禧以全国武装部队总司令身份，辅佐皇帝，位居一人之下，万人之上），并不亲自处理政务，反而骄傲奢侈（骄傲二字出现），贪污荒淫，多数行为都违犯国法，北魏帝（八任宣武帝）元恪（本年十九岁）对他十分讨厌。元禧派奴仆去向中央禁军总监（领军）于烈索取皇家羽林和虎贲武士，作为自己出入的仪仗卫队。于烈说：“天子（元恪）守丧期间，心怀悲哀，闭口不再说话，国家大事，全由首相决定。可是，我只知道负责警卫，保护宫廷安全，除非有诏书，不敢违背体制，私相授受。”元禧的奴仆失望而回。元禧再派人对于烈说：“我，天子（六任帝拓跋弘）的儿子，天子（元恪）的叔父，身为首相，提出要求，跟诏书有什么分别！”于烈声色俱厉，说：“我并不是不知道大王的尊贵，可是，你不应该教一个奴仆，向我索取只有天子才可以使用的羽林和虎贲武士！你可得到我的头，但你得不到羽林、虎贲武士。”元禧大怒，调于烈当
