Chapter 146 Chapter 145 Qi and Emperor Xiao Baorong

Xiao Baorong was the eighth son of Xiao Luan, Emperor Ming of Qi. In the first month of the third year of Yongyuan (501 A.D.), Xiao Baorong began to proclaim the prime minister and amnesty.Xiao Yan led his army to set off from Xiangyang to seek Xiao Baojuan in the east.Xiao Baorong and Xiao Yingzhou stayed in Jiangling.In March, 14-year-old Xiao Baorong took the throne in Jiangling, changed the Yuan to "Zhongxing", amnesty, established the ancestral temple and the northern and southern suburbs, and the gates of the state capital were all based on Jiankang Palace City. Shang Shu Ling, Xiao Yan shot for Shang Shu Zuo Pu.He also issued an edict to abolish Xiao Baojuan as the king of Fuling.

Xiao Yan went down to Yingzhou and Jiangzhou, and Xiao Baorong issued an edict to Xiao Yan, if the capital is pacified, it can be done cheaply.At this time, Xiao Yan's younger brother Xiao Dan led troops from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and Xiao Baorong appointed him as the governor of Jingzhou.From then on, Xiao Baorong was completely under Xiao Yan's control. In December, the imperial guards of Jiankang City turned against each other, killed Xiao Baojuan, and welcomed Xiao Yan into the city.In the second year, Xiao Baorong sent envoys to comfort Jiankang.Xiao Yan was in Beijing, monopolizing the government. He became the prime minister of the country as the great Sima, made Liang Gong, and then became the king of Liang. He punished Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan and his sons.

In March, Xiao Yan sent people to welcome Xiao Baorong back to the east, and when he arrived at Gushu, Xiao Baorong ordered Zen to be located in Liang.In April, Xiao Yan proclaimed himself emperor, enshrined Xiao Baorong as the king of Baling, and set up a palace in Gushu.Later, Xiao Yan wanted to take Nanhai County as Baling State and move Xiao Baorong to live there.Shen Yue suggested that for such a major event in ancient and modern times, one should not suffer real disasters for the sake of false names.Xiao Yan adopted his opinion and sent his confidant Zheng Boqin to Gushu, where Jin Shengjin ordered Xiao Baorong to commit suicide.Xiao Baorong seemed to have expected such a day long ago, so he didn't panic. He said calmly, "I don't need gold to die, and alcohol is enough!" He fell into a coma, and Zheng Boqin then killed him.The last emperor of Southern Qi died in this way, only 15 years old.After his death, he was revered as "Emperor Qihe" and buried in Gong'an Mausoleum.
