Chapter 145 Chapter 144

In July of the first year of Yongtai (AD 498), Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan died of illness, and Prince Xiao Baojuan came to the throne.Xiao Baojuan is Xiao Luan's second son, because his elder brother Xiao Baoyi was disabled since childhood, so he was favored by his father.Originally named Mingxian, Xiao Luan assisted the government and held great power during Xiao Zhaoye's reign, so it was specially changed to Baojuan; after Xiao Luan proclaimed himself emperor, he was established as the prince and heir to the throne. In 499 AD, the first month of the year following Xiao Baojuan's accession to the throne, the year name was changed to "Yongyuan".He was only 16 years old when he came to the throne, so according to his father's will, Minister Gu Ming assisted the government.Yangzhou Inspector Shi'an Wang Xiao Yaoguang, Shang Shuling Xu Xiaosi, You Servant She Jiang Er, You General Xiao Tanzhi, Shi Zhong Jiang Si, and Wei Wei Liu Xuan took turns in the introspection.

When Xiao Baojuan was the prince, he didn't like to study, he loved to play, and he played too much.Temperament heavy astringent, few words.After he came to the throne, he didn't like to make friends with court officials, but only trusted eunuchs, those who held swords, and those who responded to imperial edicts.Not long after he ascended the throne, he found that he could not play and act as he wanted. This binding force came from the "six nobles", and the main one was Erjiang. The aunts of brothers Jiang Er and Jiang Si were Xiao Luan's mother, so Xiao Luan paid special attention to them. Although he took care of his fathers at the end of his life, Jiang's brothers were the ones he trusted the most. Therefore, the two brothers were the strictest towards the little emperor.Xiao Baojuan wanted to do something absurd, Xu Xiaosi did not dare to stop him, Xiao Tanzhi tried to dissuade him occasionally, but Jiang Er firmly stopped him, making Xiao Baojuan feel uncomfortable and angry.Ru Fazhen, Mei Chonger, etc., whom he trusted very much, were often suppressed by Jiang Er whenever they wanted to gain power, so Ru Fazhen and others also hated Jiang Er.

Xiao Baojuan became more and more disobedient to restraint, appointed small groups of people, and played games too much, so Jiang Er decided to abolish the emperor and set up another one.He meant Xiao Baoxuan, the third son of Liming Emperor Xiao Luan, Xiao Baojuan's same mother and younger brother, Jiangxia King.This suggestion was immediately opposed by Liu Xuan.Liu Xuan is the uncle of Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Baoxuan and Xiao Baoyin.When Xiao Baoxuan was governor of Yingzhou, he acted in Yingzhou and was too harsh on the young Xiao Baoxuan.Therefore, Xiao Baoxuan was very dissatisfied with Liu Xuan.Liu Xuan knew that Xiao Baoxuan was dissatisfied with him, so he was always on guard and did not agree to make him emperor.He wanted to establish Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, so that he could not only manipulate the government as the emperor's uncle, but also have no suspicions and no scruples with Xiao Baoyin.

Who should stand?Jiang Er conspired with Xiao Yaoguang again, and Xiao Yaoguang wanted to establish himself as emperor. When he revealed his plan slightly, Jiang was unprepared and didn't know how to answer, so he had to leave.Jiang Zhe told his younger brother Jiang Si about the plan to abolish the establishment, but Jiang Si felt that the young master was hard to protect, so he persuaded him to make Xiao Yaoguang emperor. Knowing that the Jiang brothers intended to make Xiao Yaoguang emperor, Liu Xuan was very unhappy, because if Xiao Yaoguang became emperor, he would lose the respect of emperor's uncle, so he firmly opposed it.As a result, Jiang Er hesitated for a long time without making a decision.Xiao Yaoguang was furious, and sent his right and left Huang Tanqingmi to assassinate Liu Xuan at Qingxi Bridge. Huang Tanqing did not dare to do anything when he saw Liu Xuan's guards were numerous.

Liu Xuan realized that Xiao Yaoguang was plotting to harm him, so he made a secret plan and immediately reported to Xiao Baojuan that the Jiang brothers wanted to make Xiao Yaoguang emperor.As soon as Xiao Baojuan heard it, his father's last words immediately sounded in his ears: "Don't do things behind others." He immediately ordered: Capture the Jiang brothers! After killing the Jiang brothers, Xiao Baojuan called Xiao Yaoguang into the palace and told him about their crimes.Xiao Yaoguang was shocked. After returning to Zhongshu Province, he wailed loudly, pretended to be crazy, and said that he would not enter Taicheng because of his illness.

Once the Jiang brothers died, no one would dare to meddle with Xiao Baojuan anymore, so he had no fear and started messing around as he wanted.Day and night, he and his recent apprentices played horses in the back hall, often went to bed at five o'clock, and didn't get up until afternoon (3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.).On the day when the courtiers met, he came lazily in the evening, and sometimes he simply excused himself from going to court because it was getting dark, and sent the courtiers home.It is often a month or dozens of days before the case is reported, and some even don't know where to go.The eunuchs used the yellow cases from the five central provinces to pack fish and meat home.The whole court was in chaos.

Just as Xiao Baojuan was playing in the dark, Xiao Yaoguang stepped up preparations for an armed uprising.At the beginning, he conspired with his younger brother Jingzhou Inspector Xiao Yaoxin to attack Jiankang. Xiao Yaoxin led troops from Jiangling to attack Jiankang, and he responded inside.Unfortunately, Xiao Yaoxin died of illness, and the plan could not be implemented.Later, many Jingzhou soldiers escorted Xiao Yaoxin's coffin back to the capital, and Xiao Yaoguang had an idea when he saw it.After the death of his younger brother Xiao Yaochang, governor of Yuzhou, all the songs belonged to Xiao Yaoguang, and now many people from Jingzhou have come to the capital, why not use the troops from the two states to make an armed uprising?

Xiao Yaoguang was busy plotting, when he received an imperial decree asking him to enter the palace, he was surprised.It turned out that after Xiao Baojuan killed the Jiang brothers, he was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Yaoguang if he was not at ease, so he planned to make him a situ, give him a high position, and let him go home to recover from his illness.Xiao Yaoguang had ghosts in his heart, so he dared not enter the palace, so he gathered the trilogy of Erzhou at the east gate of Dongfu, and set up troops in the name of begging Liu Xuan.Hearing of Xiao Yaoguang's rebellion, people in Taicheng were panicked and didn't know what to do, Xiao Baojuan hurriedly ordered Xu Xiaosi to enter Taicheng, and people finally calmed down a little.The background army finally defeated the rebels.Seeing that the general situation was over, Xiao Yaoguang went back to the small tent, holding a candle to illuminate himself, and his spirit was not guarded.When the Taiwan army rushed in, Xiao Yaoguang hurriedly extinguished the candles and crawled under the bed to hide.The soldier pushed the door open, took him out of the darkness and beheaded him.

After pacifying Xiao Yaoguang, Xiao Baojuan issued an edict to reward meritorious personnel.Xiao Tanzhi was promoted to Shangshu Youpushe and Danyang Yin because he reported Xiao Yaoguang's meritorious service in rebellion.But because of his ruthlessness and self-discipline, Xiao Baojuan's subordinates feared and hated him, so they often attacked him in front of Xiao Baojuan.More than 20 days after Xiao Yaoguang's death, Xiao Tanzhi and his son Xiao Shang were all killed by soldiers sent by Xiao Baojuan. Ru Fazhen and others falsely accused Liu Xuan of conspiracy in front of Xiao Baojuan.Xiao Baojuan then ordered Liu Xuan to be killed.

Among the "six nobles", only Sikong Xu Xiaosi was left. He was born as a literati, and he dared not disobey the wishes of Xiao Baojuan and his subordinates in every way, so despite his great fame and status, he could still be accommodated by Xiao Baojuan.Because of his high reputation, some people tried their best to persuade him to abolish the cruel Xiao Baojuan.Although Xu Xiaosi had this idea, he didn't take action for a long time.At this time, Zhong Xixing also started to hate Xu Xiaosi. One day, Xiao Baojuan issued an edict to summon Xu Xiaosi, Shangshu Zuopu to shoot Shen Wenji, and servant Shen Zhaolue to enter Hualin Province.After the three of them entered Hualin Province, Ru Fazhen was ordered to bring medicinal wine.Xu Xiaosi and Shen Wenji remained silent, Shen Zhaolue was furious, and scolded Xu Xiaosi, saying: "Abolishing the obscurity and establishing the Ming is an ancient and modern decree, and the prime minister has no talent, so today!" On his face, he said: "Let you be a face-shattering ghost!" Xu Xiaosi was not angry, just buried his head in drinking, and died after drinking to the end.His sons Xu Yan, Xu Kuang and Xiao Baojuan did not let them go and killed them both.

So far, all the "six nobles" have been killed, and all the officials are in danger and panic all day long. In November of the first year of Yongyuan (AD 499), Taiwei Chen Xianda rebelled in Jiangzhou, and the capital was shocked.Chen Xianda was an ex-general under Emperor Gao and Emperor Wu. During the reign of Emperor Ming Xiao Luan, he punished and killed his old ministers. Chen Xianda was fearful and cautious. He once asked to resign on the grounds that he was 70 years old, but Xiao Luan refused.After Xiao Baojuan ascended the throne, he was afraid of misfortune and refused to stay in Jiankang. After being appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, he was overjoyed and rushed to the post.News of Xiao Baojuan's repeated punishment of ministers continued to spread to Jiangzhou, and Chen Xianda was very nervous.When the "six nobles" were dead, the government and the public heard that the imperial court would send troops to attack Jiangzhou. Chen Xianda did not want to sit still and raised his troops immediately; After pacifying the capital, he went west to Yingzhou to meet Dajia. Xiao Baojuan ordered Cui Huijing, the general of the guard army, to be the general of Pingnan, and supervised the army to fight against Chen Xianda.Soon came the news that Chen Xianda led his army to defeat the imperial army and took advantage of the victory to attack Miyagi.Miyagi was horrified and guarded behind closed doors.Chen Xianda personally led hundreds of infantry to fight fiercely with the Taiwan army in front of Xizhou. After several rounds, Chen Xianda won a big victory.Later, the imperial army followed, and Chen Xianda was outnumbered. He retreated and was assassinated and beheaded. After killing Chen Xianda, Xiao Baojuan thought that no one would restrain and threaten him anymore, so he became more arrogant and unruly, and the people of the capital suffered greatly from it.He gradually became obsessed with going out for a walk, traveling more than 20 times a month.Every time I go out, I am domineering and domineering, and drive away people along the way, leaving only empty houses.As soon as the people heard the sound of the drums, they immediately called their sons and daughters to escape from the house without putting on their clothes and boots.The people in the capital were harassed by him and suffered unspeakably.The four people's jobs are abandoned, wedding crowns and funerals are not allowed to act according to the time, and even the dead cannot be buried, so they have to dump the corpses by the side of the road. Another hobby of Xiao Baojuan is horse riding, which was specially taught by Yu Lingyun, a soldier of the Dongzhi Battalion.He has 296 shooting pheasants in the suburbs, and he often travels to and from each field without getting tired. "Far away from gentlemen, near villains" is also one of Xiao Baojuan's main characteristics.There are 31 people in his left and right sides, and 10 people in Huangmen.Xu Shibiao of Zhige and Xiaoqi Army is his killer, and Xu Shibiao executes every killing.Chen Xianda rebelled. Although Cui Huijing was appointed as the governor, the military power was in the hands of Xu Shibiao.Later, Xu Shibiao offended Xiao Baojuan and was killed by the imperial guards.The eunuch Wang Baosun was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was nicknamed "The Son of Heaven". He was the most favored, even Mei Chonger's generation was under him.He intervened in the government, controlled the ministers, changed the edict, and even dared to ride into the palace to slander the Son of Heaven.When the ministers and ministers saw him, they were all respectful and held their breath. For Concubine Pan Guifei, who was favored by Xiao Baojuan, Xiao Baojuan responded to every request. He chiseled gold and made a lotus flower stick to the ground, so that Concubine Pan could walk on it. He praised: "This is a lotus flower that grows step by step." Baojuan Chongxin is called "A Zhang" together with Ru Fazhen, and Mei Chong'er and Yu Lingyun are "Brothers".He once went to Pan Baoqing's house with Ru Fazhen and others to draw water himself and help the cook cook.Pan Baoqing relied on his power, played with power, and framed the businessman as a crime. Often, one family was framed, and several neighbors suffered together. He also asked him to give him the confiscated property of the land and house. The people are in dire straits. The people around Xiao Baojuan who carried the sword and those who responded to the imperial edict were all his cronies. The home of the "Dao Chi" became the place where Xiao Baojuan often went to have banquets, and whenever there were good or bad things, he would also go to celebrate.The entire imperial court is dominated by villains, the emperor is insane and innocent, the ministers are precarious, the people are miserable, the society is in turmoil, and a big crisis is imminent. Pei Shuye, the governor of Yuzhou, made great efforts to kill the kings for Xiao Luan, and held a high official position.After Xiao Baojuan came to the throne and killed the minister, Pei Shuye, who was an important minister in the frontier town, felt uneasy. How can he not only avoid the disaster of killing himself, but also preserve his glory and wealth?After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Pei Shuye finally surrendered to Wei in the first month of the second year of Yongyuan (500 AD). The news of Pei Shuye's surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty spread to Jiankang, causing an uproar in the court.Xiao Baojuan ordered Pingxi general Cui Huijing to lead the navy to attack Shouyang.On the day the army set off, Xiao Baojuan ordered to set up a long fence and personally come forward to see Cui Huijing off.He was wearing a military uniform and sitting upstairs. He called Cui Huijing to ride alone, and he was not allowed to bring anyone with him.After the two talked for a few words, Cui Huijing seemed a little uneasy, and left in a hurry.And when he left the city, Cui Huijing was very happy.The army stopped dozens of miles away from Guangling (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Cui Huijing called all the army leaders and said to them: "My three emperors are very kind, and I have taken on the important task of Gu Tuo. Today, the young master is in a coma. Today is the day when there is chaos, danger and failure to help. I want to make great contributions with you to secure the country, what do you think?" Everyone responded in unison.So, returning to Guangling, Sima Cui Gongzu opened the city gate to welcome him, and then sent his troops to cross the river to point directly at Jiankang. As soon as Cui Huijing raised his troops, he immediately sent people to welcome Xiao Baoxuan, the king of Jiangxia, as the master.Because Xiao Baoxuan married Xu Xiaosi's daughter as the princess, the two had a harmonious relationship.After Xiao Baojuan punished Xu Xiaosi, Xiao Baoxuan was ordered to divorce. Although Xiao Baoxuan obeyed on the surface, he was resentful in his heart, so Cui Huijing believed that he would definitely agree to the incident, so he regarded him as the master.Xiao Baoxuan beheaded the envoy, and then mobilized the generals to guard the city, so as to confuse Xiao Baojuan.Xiao Baojuan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent people to Jingkou (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) to help guard.Cui Huijing was about to cross the river, Xiao Baoxuan secretly sent someone to contact him, killed Sima, Dianzhu and the court envoy, opened the door to welcome Cui Huijing into the city, caught Xiao Baojuan by surprise. Cui Huijing commanded the army to cross the river smoothly. Xiao Baoxuan rushed to Jiankang with the army in a flat-shoulder car carried by eight people, holding the crimson flag in hand.Xiao Baojuan hastily mobilized troops and generals to fight, but none of the generals were Cui Huijing's opponents, they were all defeated, so they had to close the gate of the palace tightly and dare not go out to fight.Cui Huijing led the army to surround Taicheng tightly, also known as the order of the Empress Dowager Xuande, and Xiao Baojuan was abolished as King Wu. When Taicheng was in danger, something happened outside, which temporarily eased the situation.It turned out that when Chen Xianda rebelled, Xiao Baojuan followed his father's lead and summoned the kings into the palace.Baling King Xiao Zhaozhou and younger brother Yongxin Hou Xiao Zhaoying couldn't help trembling when they thought of the horrors during the Yongtai period. The two brothers disguised themselves as monks and hid among the people.Cui Huijing led troops to surround Taicheng, and the two returned to their original colors and came to defect.Cui Huijing originally regarded Xiao Baoxuan as the master, but when he saw Xiao Zhaozhou, he wanted to regard him as the master.Because Xiao Zhaozhou is the son of Xiao Ziliang and the grandson of Emperor Wu Xiao Yu, and Xiao Baoxuan is the son of Ming Emperor Xiao Luan, it seems more legitimate to support the grandson of Emperor Wu.But it was hard for Cui Huijing to decide who to support.At this time, Cui Huijing had begun to become proud, thinking that Taicheng could be pulled out sooner or later, so he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but talked with Shi He Dian all day long about righteousness and Buddhism.He talked eloquently and was full of interest. Regardless of military affairs, his generals began to be dissatisfied, and the morale of the army became somewhat lax. Xiao Baojuan seized this favorable opportunity and urgently called Xiao Yi, governor of Yuzhou, to aid Jiankang.When the secret envoy arrived, Xiao Yi was having a meal. As soon as he received the edict, he threw his chopsticks and led thousands of people across the river to Jiankang.At night, the Taicheng army was greatly encouraged when they saw a torch lit outside and knew that the reinforcements had arrived.Xiao Yi defeated Cui Jue, the son of Cui Huijing, in one battle, and took advantage of the victory to march again. Cui Gongzu surrendered.Cui Huijing was defeated like a mountain, so he had to abandon the crowd and flee, and was beheaded by the fisherman. After Xiao Baoxuan was defeated, he fled for several days before surrendering. Xiao Baojuan called the same mother and brother into the back hall, and a few days later.It makes people kill it. Cui Huijing besieged Taicheng for 12 days. People in Jiankang thought that he would win without a doubt. Therefore, many people followed him to rebel, and Xiao Baojuan issued an edict to pardon him.But at this time, I am lucky to use my power, not follow the edict, go my own way, kill people and get more goods, and falsely accuse the thieves of the party. After pacifying Cui Huijing, Xiao Yi was promoted to Shangshu Ling with his meritorious service.On the surface, it seems that the official is high and important, but in fact, because he gave up his military power, he became a powerless and powerless minister.Someone saw that Xiao Yide was highly respected, and his younger brother Xiao Chang was appointed as a guard and was in charge of guarding the palace, so someone advised him to take advantage of Xiao Baojuan's departure to raise troops to abolish the emperor and set up another one, but Xiao Yi refused. Ministers Ru Fazhen, Wang Yuzhi and others were afraid of Xiao Yi, so they provoked Xiao Baojuan in front of Xiao Baojuan, saying: "Xiao Yi is going to tell the story of Longchang, and your majesty is in danger, and your life is at stake." Especially spiritual, once someone said it, he immediately became vigilant, and resolutely made up his mind to arrest Xiao Yi and his brothers.In October, Xiao Baojuan gave medicine to Xiao Yi in Shangshu Province, and Xiao Yi died after drinking the medicine.At the same time, the imperial court urgently searched for Xiao Yi's younger brother and nephew in Kyoto, killed his younger brother Xiao Rong, and hid the others among the people. Fortunately, no one reported them and survived. As soon as Xiao Yi died, his younger brother Xiao Yan rose up with Yongzhou troops.Xiao Baojuan hurriedly sent General Liu Shanyang of the Fuguo State to lead 3,000 people to Jiangling, intending to join the Jingzhou army and attack Xiangyang.However, Xiao Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, and Xiao Yingzhou, the governor of Xizhonglang, planned to kill Liu Shanyang, and Jing and Yongzhou jointly rebelled!Jing and Yong prefectures are important military towns, with vast land, sufficient food and strong soldiers, and the combination of Jing and Yong is huge and should not be underestimated. Therefore, Xiao Baojuan hastily issued an edict to crusade against Jing and Yong, and declared martial law inside and outside. For a while, the whole country was shrouded in tension. In the atmosphere. In March of the third year of Yongyuan (AD 501), Xiao Baorong, king of Nankang, took the throne in Jiangling, changed his year name to "Zhongxing", and abolished Xiao Baojuan as King of Fuling.In this way, Southern Qi had two courts, one was the court headed by Xiao Baojuan, and the other was Xitai, which was headed by Xiao Baorong in name. Xiao Yan led his army to the east and fought fiercely with Xiao Baojuan's army.But Xiao Baojuan didn't care about war, and still had fun as before. At this time, another incident happened in the capital: Sang Yan and Xiao Yin conspired to set up Baling King Xiao Zhaozhou.Xiao Zhaozhou and his younger brother Xiao Zhaoying went to defect when Cui Huijing raised troops to encircle Jiankang. After Cui Huijing failed, the two brothers surrendered to the Taiwan army. My heart has been uneasy.Sang Yan was Xiao Ziliang's Fangge General back then, and seeing Xiao Baojuan insane and innocent, he conspired with Xiao Yin, intending to take advantage of his trip to send soldiers into Taicheng with Xiao Zhaozhou, close the city gate, and then command the world.Unfortunately, it happened that Xiao Baojuan was building Fangle Garden, and he hadn't traveled for a month, so this plan could not be realized.Sang Yan planned to recruit more than a hundred warriors to forcibly rush through the Wanchun Gate and capture Xiao Baojuan. Xiao Zhaozhou thought it was too dangerous to do so and disagreed.Therefore, their plan to abolish the establishment could not be realized for a long time. One of them was afraid that the conspiracy would be exposed after a long time, so he took the initiative to report them. After Xiao Yin found out, he sent someone to kill him.Later, the government found out their secret plan from the deceased, and Xiao Zhaozhou's brother and Sang Yan were all killed. At this time, the war on the western front was already very tense. Xiao Yan led his army to defeat Xiao Baojuan's army in the battle of Jiahu (southeast of Huangpi County, Hubei today), and then advanced to Jiangzhou.Chen Bozhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, was forced to surrender, and Xiao Yan took advantage of the victory to approach Jiankang.Xiao Baojuan heard that the matter was urgent, so he stopped playing, and hurriedly made preparations to hold on. The left and right Ershangfang and Dongxi Eryeli detained a large number of prisoners. According to Xiao Baojuan's order, many prisoners were released to enrich the army, and they were not allowed to live. Those who beheaded each other, and more than a hundred people were killed every day in the Zhuquemen. Xiao Yan's army came near Jiankang. Xiao Baojuan ordered General Wang Zhenguo and Hu Huya to lead more than 100,000 elite soldiers to the Zhuque Hangnan to form an array. Last Stand.After fierce fighting between the two armies, Wang Zhenguo and others gradually became unable to support and began to retreat.Xiao Yan's army drove as far as Xuanyang Gate. Soon, the guards of Dongfu City, Xinting, Langye and other cities surrendered to Xiao Yan one after another. Zhang Huan abandoned the stone city and returned it to the palace. All the scholars and people entered the palace city and guarded behind closed doors.Miyagi was tightly surrounded by Xiao Yanjun like an iron barrel.Xiao Baojuan, who was under siege, was not in a hurry. He discussed with the left and right, and believed that Chen Xianda was defeated in the first battle, and Cui Huijing was defeated in only a dozen days after the siege, so this time he only prepared 100 days of food and firewood.At the critical moment when the army was approaching the city, Xiao Baojuan still slept heavily during the day and got up to play at night, exactly as usual.Xiao Baojuan had a lot of wood stored in the back hall, and someone asked to use it to strengthen the city defense, but he was reluctant, and wanted to keep it to build the palace later.For gold and silver carving sundries, he even doubled his request to the folks, and as a result, everyone resented him, and they were unwilling to contribute to him; in addition, the city was besieged for a long time, everyone was tired, and they all hoped that there would be a big change in the city as soon as possible, but No one dared to take the lead. Ru Fazhen and Mei Chong'er saw that the people in the city were distracted, so they offered advice to Xiao Baojuan: "The ministers don't pay attention, and the long siege is confused. They should all be killed." At this time, Wang Zhenguo was in charge of the military in the city, and Zhang Ji was the deputy general. Fearing disaster, the two secretly planned to kill Xiao Baojuan to welcome Xiao Yan's army into the city. One night in December, Qian Qiang, a member of Houge She, secretly ordered someone to open the Yunlong Gate. Wang Zhenguo and Zhang Ji led troops into the palace, and Yudao Fengyongzhi responded inside.Xiao Baojuan had just performed music in the Hall of Hande for fun, but he was still asleep when he lay down, when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the door, knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly escaped from the north gate, wanting to go back to the harem, but the gate was closed and there was no way out can escape.Eunuch Huang Taiping came forward and cut his knee with a knife, Xiao Baojuan fell to the ground in response.Zhang Qi, who joined the army in Yanzhou, went down with a sword, and Xiao Baojuan fell to the ground. The 19-year-old Xiao Baojuan had only been emperor for 4 years from the beginning to the end, so he became a ghost under the knife in a daze. As soon as Xiao Baojuan died, Zhang Ji summoned a hundred officials to enter the palace, wrapped Xiao Baojuan's head in butter, and all the officials headed by Shangshu's right servant She Wang Liang signed their names on the letterhead and sent it together with Xiao Baojuan's head Xiao Yan's office. After Xiao Yan led the army into the capital, he took charge of the government and ordered in the name of the Empress Dowager Xuande to pursue Xiao Baojuan as "East Hunhou" according to the story of Han Haihunhou.
