Chapter 85 Favor, trust, traitor, love and pity

——Gao Wei, Empress of Qi State Subjugated Gao Wei was very honest when he was the emperor, probably his father did all the bad things, and he was a child at that time, so he was incapable of doing bad things.When Gao Zhan died, Gao Wei had been emperor for five years, and after that, he was emperor for another seven years.Although his age is not long, he has done absurd and bad things and has become a "model" for future generations of evil emperors and emperors. It is recorded in the history books that the empress Gao Wei was "young but good-natured, and mature enough to learn a lot of literature". He was a young man who was motivated and loved to read.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, his father Gao Zhan died suddenly and became emperor, but he was almost overthrown by his younger brother Gao Yan.

Gao Yan was the second son of Gao Zhan, Emperor Wucheng.He is very much loved by Gao Zhan, and often works in Hanguang Palace instead of his father Gao Zhan himself. A young man of twelve or thirteen years old is so mature and magnanimous that princes, dukes and ministers bow down and fear him.When Gao Zhan was still alive, Gao Yan's clothes and accessories were exactly the same as the emperor's Gao Wei.Once he saw Xin Bingzao Li who was paying tribute at Gaowei, and he was furious: "My brother has this thing, why don't I have it." Things, his officials and craftsmen must be punished.Gao Yan was born with a strong personality and often suffered from throat problems. The doctor inserted a steel needle straight into the throat for treatment. Although Gao Yan was in pain, he didn't even blink his eyelashes.He often said to his father Gao Zhan: "How can such a cowardly person like my brother control his subjects?" Gao Zhan had been thinking for a long time to abolish Gao Wei and make Gao Yan the emperor.After Gao Zhan's sudden death, Gao Yan was renamed King Langya.

He Shikai, the favorite minister of the Empress Gao Wei, was very afraid of Gao Yan, and said to others: "King Langya has bright eyes, and he shoots people with several steps. Just now, he broke into sweat profusely when he stood in front of him for a while. This kind of feeling." Gao Yan also hated He Shikai very much, when he saw He Shikai repairing the mansion, he satirized him and said: "You may be finished until the big house is repaired." Suspicious and fearful, He Shikai slandered the queen master Gao Wei, asking the little emperor to lift Gao Yan's military power.

Gao Yan was instigated by Feng Zicong in his servant, and after hearing the news, he preemptively acted, pretending to be Gao Wei's will, and tricked He Shikai to go to Yushitai to behead him.Originally, Gao Yan intended to kill Heshi, but he couldn't control it once he started, and his disciples surrounded him and forced him to kill the empress Gao Wei.Gao Yan rushed towards the palace with more than 3,000 imperial guards. Gao Wei burst into tears when he heard the news, and said to Empress Dowager Feng: "If there is a destiny, I will see you again, and if there is no destiny, I will say goodbye forever." At the same time, he issued an order to summon the minister Hu Luguang urgently.Gao Yan also sent someone to summon Hu Luguang.Hu Luguang's daughter was originally the concubine of Gao Bainian, the crown prince of Emperor Xiaozhao, and she also died of hunger strike after being killed for a hundred years.However, the feudal patriarchal society respected Zhengshuo, and Hu Luguang still served the Gao family.Moreover, Hu Luguang also hated He Shikai, and when he heard that Gao Yan killed He Shikai, he laughed and said, "Longzi does things differently from ordinary people." When he saw Gao Wei, the little emperor had already joined four hundred soldiers. In a panic, he put on his armor and flicked a knife to go out to resist.

Hu Luguang persuaded the empress, saying: "These young men wield knives and rob, and they will kill indiscriminately. As long as your emperor shows his face, those people will give up their hearts." Sure enough, when the little emperor showed his face, Gao Yan's disciples "scattered in all directions".Gao Yan also lost his mind and stood still.Hu Luguang went up to him and pulled him by the hand, saying: "What is it for the younger brother of the emperor to kill someone?" Taking the troublesome emperor brother to the palace, Hu Luguang said to Gao Wei: "King Langya is young and ignorant. It won’t be like this after.”

At this time, Gao Wei suddenly became energetic, took out his younger brother Gao Yan's saber and hit the bold boy's head with the hilt, gnashing his teeth for a long time before releasing Gao Yan.He personally shot Gao Yan's disciples with a bow and arrow, and dismembered the violent corpses to vent his anger.Empress Dowager Hu was afraid that her eldest son would kill her second son, so she locked Gao Yan in her palace. Every time Gao Yan ate, the Queen Mother tried it herself for fear of being poisoned.A few months later, Gao Wei tricked Gao Yan into getting up early to hunt while Empress Dowager Hu was sleeping.This lost little prince didn't know what it was, just after entering the palace, Liu Taozhi, the guard of the emperor's brother, tied his hands behind his back, gagged his mouth with his sleeves, carried him to his palace and beheaded him. He was fourteen years old at the time.Gao Yan's four posthumous sons also "lived for several months and died quietly".

The emperor's seat was firmly secured, and in July of the next year, Gao Wei executed the minister Hu Luguang.Huluguang's family has been working hard for Gao since his father, Hulujin. "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low." This famous song through the ages is Hulujin after he was defeated by the Zhou army in the Battle of Gaohuan Yubi. , sang in Xianbei language to comfort Gao Huan, Gao Huan burst into tears at that time.Hu Luguang is an extremely personable minister. He has fought countless vicious battles for the Gao family in his life, and helped Gao Wei to secure the throne, but he is not greedy for power and does not know how to make friends with Gao Wei's favorite ministers, Mu Dipo and Zu Ting.The two then slandered, saying that Hu Luguang had the intention of treason, and persuaded Gao Wei to kill him.Gao Wei was cowardly and did not dare to kill such an important minister.Zu Teng gave him an idea: "Reward Hu Luguang with a horse, which means that we will hunt Dongshan together tomorrow, and he will come to thank you." Sure enough, when Hu Luguang came to Liangfengtang, Liu Taozhi, the emperor's guard, hit him on the back of the head. Lu Guang didn't fall, turned around and said: "Taozhi often does such things, and I will never do anything to be sorry for the country and the emperor until I die." neck, strangled a generation of famous generals.When Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty heard that Hu Luguang was dead, Qi State destroyed the Great Wall, and was so happy that the whole country was amnesty.

After killing the heroes, Gao Wei turned his attention to his relatives again.Gao Cheng, who was posthumously named Emperor Wenxiang, had six sons.The fourth son is Gao Changgong, king of Lanling.Gao Changgong looks as beautiful as a slender woman. He often wears an iron mask to intimidate the enemy when he goes into battle.In the Battle of Mang Mountain, he assisted Gao Zhan to win a great victory. The warriors sang a ballad called "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle", which was sung by the people of the country and gained a good reputation.The Empress Gao Wei once asked him: "When you go deep into the enemy's line in battle, if you lose, it will be too late to regret." King Lanling replied: "The family is kind, so I rushed in before I knew it." Originally, it was a word of loyalty to the emperor. However, Gao Wei is deeply taboo against the term "family affairs" of King Lanling, and gradually becomes suspicious.In order to avoid sudden death, King Lanling, who was famous for the first time, did not seek medical treatment when he got sick, and waited to die at home.

In the fourth year of Wuping (573), Gao Wei sent someone to deliver poison to him.Before Gao Changgong drank the medicine, he sighed to his concubine Zheng, "I am loyal to my work, why should I be poisoned to death?" The concubine cried and persuaded him to meet the emperor in person and confess his innocence.King Lanling said: "How can you see the beauty of the sky!" He drank the medicine and died.I didn't read much history before, but when I read novels and history books that recorded Yue Fei, Yuan Chonghuan and others were wrongfully executed, I sighed in my heart that these people had military power, so why didn't they raise their troops to rebel and proclaim themselves kings and emperors.After reading the twenty-four histories, I realized that the Confucian "junjun, ministers, father and son, son and son" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years.Every dynasty's succession, no matter how tyrannical and domineering, is also pushed by the public's expectations. For example, before Wu Zixu's father and Xiao Yan's brother were beheaded by the faint king, they even offered to trick their own sons and brothers back and kill them, fearing that they would rebel and add chaos to the country.When Hu Luguang's younger brother Hu Luxian knew that the envoys had come to kill his family, he opened the gate of the city wide, knelt down with his five sons to receive the edict, and was slaughtered.The seven kings of the Western Han Dynasty and the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty were all close relatives of the emperor. They had soldiers, land and money, but none of them were orthodox sons. They rebelled without legitimate reasons.Therefore, it should not be surprising that although King Lanling was extremely brave and intelligent, he died whimpering.

If all the contemporaries of Gao Wei, the last emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, were mediocre emperors like him, he might have survived well.Unfortunately, next to him was Yu Wenyong, the talented and bold Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.When Emperor Wu of Zhou ascended the throne, Gao Yan of the Northern Qi Dynasty abolished Gao Yin and became self-reliant.The two countries went to war, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty.Every winter, the people of Zhou State smash the ice on the border river between the two countries to prevent the army of Qi State from attacking.In the later period of Gao Zhan's reign, the people of Qi State smashed the river ice in turn, fearing that they would be invaded by Zhou State soldiers.The later master Gao Wei succeeded to the throne, killed the general Hu Luguang, the royal family Gao Changgong, and defeated the brave and capable royal family Gao Sihao. The people of Zhou were very happy for a while, and they expanded their troops day after day. , Down one city after another.

At that time, Gao Wei favored Han Changluan, Mu Dipo and others.A group of people feasted too much every day, walked around with knives, and never lived in peace.When these people saw the courtiers, they would open their fists with angry eyes, and they had the tendency to eat people.In particular, Han Changluan hated scholars very much, and often scolded courtiers: "I can't bear these Han dogs, I should kill them all!" (Han Changluan is a Xianbei nobleman) Shouyang, the great city of Qi State, was captured by the army of the Zhou Dynasty. Gao Wei was really worried for a while.Mu Dipo persuaded him: "Even if we lose the south bank of the Yellow River in Qi, we can still be a Kucha country...Life is like a life, only for pleasure, why worry?" Singing and dancing, day and night.Li Delin's "Book of Northern Qi" has a special column for these people: "Biographies of Enxing", including He Shikai, Mu Tipo, Han Changluan, Gao Anagong and many others: , Ugly Hu of the Western Regions, Qiuci acrobatics, the king is conferred with martial arts, the founder of the government is shoulder to shoulder...flying whips and walking, dozens of groups", even Persian dogs and horses were named Yitong and Junjun, which shows their abuse.The palace servants who served Gaowei were all named county lords, and there were more than 500 palace maids and precious clothes. The cost of a dress was worth tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, and a mirror stand cost a thousand taels of gold. The clothes were only worn for one day and then thrown away.They built the Twelve Courtyards in Jinyang, built the Giant Buddha in Xishan, spent tens of thousands of pots of fuel overnight, and spent billions of dollars in labor. They also made green cottages for male and female horses, and there were more than a dozen kinds of horse feed. Eat and watch it in person." Yan Zhitui, the author of "Yan's Family Instructions", was taken captive into Zhou after the death of Liang, and then fled to Northern Qi. Seven, quite familiar with the book. Teach him Xianbei language and play the pipa, and I want to understand it a little bit. In this way, I will serve the public officials, and I will love them all, and I will do something.' I bowed down and did not answer." Obviously, the Han scholar-bureaucrats at that time used It is an honor to cling to the nobles of Xianbei. Xianbei language and playing the pipa are just like English and driving skills today. The Northern Qi inherited the Eastern Wei. Although Gao Huan himself was a Han, his wife and many daughters-in-law of the Gao family were from Xianbei.At that time, it turned out that the noble families of the Northern Wei Dynasty were basically slaughtered in Er Zhurong's "Heyin Disaster". During the Lord's period, the "Great Xianbei Doctrine" was prevalent in the ruling and opposition parties, and most of the people who held the real power were Xianbei people who were poor and rough low-level soldiers in the six towns and border areas in the past. They did not have any cultural accomplishment and quality at all. Fighting and massacring completely looked down on the former Yuan and Wei clans and the completely declining Han gentry. Although the little emperor Gao Wei was timid and lacking ambition when he first succeeded to the throne, he had the wisdom to know people.When Gao Yan raised his troops, he was wrongly told from left and right that it was the minister's rebellion. He said: "This must be Renwei (Gao Yan's character)".After killing Hu Luguang, everyone recommended Gao Sihao to be a general. Gao Wei said alone: ​​"Sihao is a person who likes rebellion by nature."He composed the song "No Sorrow" by himself, played the pipa and sang it personally, and a hundred people around him sang and danced with it. The folks called him "the Son of No Sorrow". "Worthless Emperor" is very popular with today's "performance artists".He made a "poor" cottage in the Hualin Garden in the palace, with disheveled hair, dressed in beggar clothes and pretended to be a beggar begging for food; In the city, let the guards wear black clothes to imitate Qiang soldiers attacking the city, and he shoots and kills the "invading" "enemies" on the city with real bows and arrows. Compared with the ancestors of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Wei is not as filthy as the boudoirs of his grandfather and uncles. The men of the Gao family are almost all lustful and commit adultery.Gao Wei's grandfather, Shenwu Emperor Gao Huan, was born in a humble background, and he grew up in Xianbei, so it is understandable that he does not practice ethics.After he came to power, he successively took over Empress Xiaozhuang (Erzhu Rongnv) of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Empress Jianming (Erzhu Zhaonv), Princess Zheng Dache of Wei Guangping, Princess Feng of Rencheng, Princess Li of Chengyang and other concubines of the Northern Wei clan Gao Wei's uncle, Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, had an affair with Gao Huan's concubine Zheng Dache at the age of fourteen. Another wife, Princess Rouran, was also raped by Gao Cheng and gave birth to a child.Gao Wei's other uncle, Emperor Wenxuan, Gao Yang, was even more extreme. After he became emperor, he raped Gao Cheng's wife, Yuan Shi, and said: "My brother raped my wife before, and now I want to repay it." The concubine, the prostitute Xue Shi, was also taken into the palace by him as a concubine. Later, thinking of the old evil, he beheaded and killed the two sisters. In the later period, he drank too much, and often took the women of the Gao clan, regardless of their closeness, into the palace and stripped them naked. Clothes, let the left and right guards gang-rape these women, the absurdity and cruelty are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.Gao Wei's father, Gao Zhan, Emperor Wucheng, followed suit even more. He raped Gao Yang's empress Li, and killed Gao Yang's son and his own nephew Gao Shaode.He also recruited Emperor Wei Jing, Gao Yang's concubines and the daughters of several meritorious officials into the palace to proclaim obscenity, which was unspeakable. Gao Wei himself has a total of three queens, Hulu, Hu and Mu.The Hulu clan was abolished because of his father Huluguang's "rebellion"; the Hu family was a relative of the Empress Dowager Hu, who was abolished as a nun by the Empress Dowager Hu because of a violation of the law; Dote on her and make her queen.Gao Zhan used to make pearl skirts for Gao Wei's mother Hu Hou, which cost a huge amount of money and was soon burned.At this point, Gao Wei built a seven-treasure chariot for Empress Mu, loaded with gold and silver, and went to Zhou to buy pearls.The people of Zhou just happened to be at the funeral of the Empress Dowager, so they did not sell pearls to the state of Qi.Lord Qi even spent billions of dollars to buy pearls from other places to make treasure cars and hakamas. A woman's color fades and her love relaxes.Empress Mu started her career as a maidservant, so she should take strict precautions against her maidservant.God's will tricks people, her own servant Feng Xiaolian is clever and charming, she has been flirting with the empress Gao Wei, and has been in love for a long time, and went to Wuxiang with the emperor on May 5 in the middle of the year when the moon was full One place has been out of control since then, so that Gao Wei did not care about the country's extermination. Historians and poets have never stopped writing about it, and Li Shangyin's "Xiao Lianyu's body was left in the night, and he has reported to Zhou Shi to enter Jinyang" is the most famous. According to historical records, Feng Xiaolianhui was shrewd at playing the pipa, singing and dancing, and the queen master sat with her when she sat at the same table, and when she went out, she was on horseback, and often prayed for life and death together.If they lived in a peaceful world, the two might also be a model loving couple.Unfortunately, Zhou's army went deeper and deeper, and the master reluctantly "conquered" himself, and even couldn't let Feng Xiaolian go all the time, and took her around.The history books of later generations all say that the Northern Qi Dynasty died at the hands of Concubine Feng Shu, which is indeed not unreasonable.The ancient army originally regarded it as an ominous omen for women to join the army, and it already hinted that they would be defeated psychologically. With the absurd drama of "love" staged by the two masters Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian, it is no wonder that the country does not perish. The Zhou army stormed Jinzhou, and the Qi army resisted bravely.Gao Wei was hunting in Sandui nearby, and upon hearing the news, he wanted to lead an army to help.Feng Xiaolian was very playful, so he asked Gao Wei to "make a big splash".By the time this round of hunting is over, Jinzhou has been broken.When Qi's army arrived in Pingyang City, due to the well-mannered generals and great momentum, Emperor Wu of Zhou was so frightened that he asked his troops to return home.Due to the emperor's personal conquest, the Qi army used one as a hundred and built tunnels to attack Pingyang. The city wall collapsed more than ten steps, and when the soldiers and horses were about to enter the victory, Gao Wei suddenly sent an order to stop and sent his men to call Feng Xiaolian to watch the army The spectacular scene of conquering the city (probably there was no film and digital technology at that time, so the master learned Zhou Youwang's trick of making Baosi smile to win the beauty's smile).At that time, Feng Xiaolian was putting on makeup, looking at herself in the mirror, and dawdling. By the time she arrived, Zhou Jun had already repaired the collapsed city wall, bringing this strategic city back into defense. Emperor Wu of Zhou personally led an army of 80,000 people, set out from Chang'an, forced the city to set up an array, and faced the Qi army.Originally there was a mound several meters deep between the Qi army and the Zhou army, which ran between the two sides. Gao Wei asked whether they were fighting or not.One of the favorite ministers named An Tugen said loudly: "Such a small group of thieves should be stabbed immediately and thrown into the Fen River." Shuai Jun, we are also the emperors to supervise the formation. They come to attack from afar, how can we dig a ditch to show weakness!" Gao Wei felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered the big gap between the two armies to be filled, and put the emperors of the two countries together. The stance of the decisive battle, "The Lord of Zhou was overjoyed, and he reined in his troops to attack him." When the two armies met, the Qi army was not weak, and rushed forward bravely.Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian watched the battle side by side.All of a sudden, the East Wing retreated a little, Feng Xiaolian's face changed color with fright, and shouted: "The army has been defeated!" Qi Zhu's generals advised: "Half advance and half retreat, it is common sense to fight. Your Majesty, if you are not enough One move, human feelings will be terrified, and the army will not be able to recover!" Qi Zhu refused to listen, and ran away with Feng Xiaolian.The Qi Normal University collapsed, and more than ten thousand people were killed. For hundreds of miles, military assets and equipment were abandoned and piled up in mountains.A group of people ran to Hongdong, and Feng Xiaolian applied powder and ink in the tent again, and the servant called Zhou Bing again, so everyone ran again.During this period, Gao Wei suddenly had a whim, and asked the eunuch to put on makeup and go back to Jinyang to get the queen's clothes, and named Feng Xiaolian as the left queen. On the way to escape, let Xiaolian wear the queen's dress. After Gao Wei ran to Jinyang, he was extremely worried.Seeing that the situation was tense, he wanted Ande Wang Gao Yanzong and others to stay in Jinyang, and go to Beishuo Prefecture to take refuge temporarily.If Jinyang falls, he wants to flee to Turkic.The monarchs and ministers persuaded him one after another, but Gao Wei refused to listen.Gao Yanzong, king of Ande, wept and remonstrated bitterly, but still did not listen, and secretly sent the Queen Mother Hu and the Crown Prince to Beishuo Prefecture.At night, Gao Wei wanted to escape in the dark, but all the generals refused to obey his orders.He ordered Gao Yanzong, king of Ande, to be the prime minister and governor of Bingzhou, stay in Jinyang, and command the soldiers and horses of Shanxi. Gao Yanzong begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country, don't leave. As a subject, I will fight to the death for Your Majesty, and I will definitely defeat the Zhou army." Don't hinder!" So Gao Wei and his subordinates broke through the five dragon gates and fled towards the Turkic direction. On the way, there were many officials scattered, and no one was willing to abandon their hometown and go to the Turkic territory to live under the fence.Seeing that there were only a dozen or so horsemen around, Gao Wei had no choice but to turn to the capital, Yecheng.Gao Wei's subordinates, Mu Di Po, He Ba Fu En and others rushed to the Zhou army to surrender. The generals staying in Jinyang gathered together, knelt down and worshiped Gao Yanzong, king of Ande, and begged: "My lord, if you are not the emperor, our army and the people will not be able to kill you." Gaowei's year title), the government was erected by the palace, and the pass was cut and fled. I don't know what to do. The princes and nobles, who are pushed and pushed by obscenity, now inherit the throne." Changed to Yuan Dechang.When the people of Qi heard the news, they came here without calling, and a large number of people flocked to Jinyang.Gao Yanzong rewarded the soldiers with the beauties in the mansion and the harem, and killed more than a dozen Gaowei's favorite ministers and servants who stayed in Jinyang.Gao Yanzong personally met the soldiers, holding hands to name them, weeping and sobbing, and the soldiers were so moved that they would die in return.Even children and women in Jinyang City went up to the city, throwing tiles and stones to fend off enemy soldiers. When Gao Wei heard that Gao Yanzong succeeded to the throne, he said angrily, "I'd rather let the State of Zhou acquire Bingzhou than King Ande take it as his nest." Both sides agreed, "Yes, what your Majesty said is absolutely true." Soon, Emperor Wu of Zhou personally led the army to surround Jinyang and attack the city.Zhou Junyi attached himself to the city, "the four are like black clouds", and Gao Yanzong also led his soldiers to meet the enemy in the north of the city.Gao Yanzong was originally fat, and people often laughed at him.At this time, he rode his horse and speared back and forth to supervise the battle. He was as swift as flying, and he had nowhere to go.At dusk, Emperor Wu of Zhou led his troops into the east gate and burned the Buddhist temple.Gao Yanzong then entered, attacking back and forth, the Zhou army was in chaos, and they rushed to turn their heads and tried to run out of the city gate, trampling and beating indiscriminately, resulting in countless casualties, and the gate was blocked by corpses.The Qi army stabbed and hacked back and forth, killing more than 2,000 Zhou troops. The guards of Emperor Zhou Wu's imperial guards were almost killed. Fortunately, Gao Wei's former favorite, Heba Fuen, who had just surrendered, was loyal and brave. This time he was almost hit by a sword.At the time of the fourth watch, Gao Yanzong thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou was killed by rebels, so he sent people to search for the bearded man among the corpses, but he couldn't find him.God's will destroys Qi, and after the Qi army won the victory in the city, they went to the workshop to drink and celebrate, lying on the ground drunk, Gao Yanzong could no longer gather a strong army. Emperor Wu of Zhou was so hungry and thirsty after leaving the city that he wanted to order him to flee, but the generals also persuaded him to return to the army.Only the clan Yu Wenxin urged him to survive in death, to win in defeat, and to work hard.King Yu Wenxian of Qi of the Zhou State also believed that the army was defeated like a mountain, and if he escaped, he would be chased by the Qi army and would inevitably die.Gao Wei's favorite minister Duan Chang and others who surrendered also told Emperor Wu of Zhou that the city of Jinyang was empty.Emperor Wu of Zhou called his horns and withdrew his troops. Soon the soldiers gathered and the army revived. Early in the morning, the entire Zhou army attacked the east gate. The Qi army was still drunk, and the city was quickly conquered.Gao Yanzong fled to the north of the city and was captured alive by the Zhou army.He was ordered by King Gaowei of Qi to defend Bingzhou on December 13th, proclaimed emperor on the 14th, and was defeated and captured on the 15th. He has only been emperor for two days.At that time, good people thought that Gao Yanzong's reign title "Dechang" was taken apart to mean "King Ande became emperor for two days".Although Gao Yanzong is Gao Cheng's son, he has always been raised by Gao Yang and is very doted on. When he was twelve years old, he still rode on Gao Yang's belly to play.Gao Yang also let this nephew urinate in his belly button, feeling extremely distressed.Gao Yanzong was very naughty when he was a teenager. He defecated upstairs and asked his servants to open their mouths downstairs. He mixed pig food and human feces together and forced his subordinates to eat them.Emperor Xiaozhao Gaoyan knew his misdeeds after he succeeded to the throne, and sent someone to Dingzhou where he worked to whip him more than a hundred times, and killed nine of his subordinates who coaxed him into mischief. From then on, this naughty boy began to reform In the past, he repeatedly made meritorious service in the battle with Zhou Guo in the future.It's a pity that the times are so fateful, and it is inevitable that he will end up in prison in the end. Gao Wei fled back to Yedu to catch his breath.Empress Dowager Feng, the queen mother's own mother, came back, but the queen master ignored her.Concubine Shu arrived, and the queen dug open the north wall of the city and went out ten miles to meet her. Hu Lu Xiaoqing, the counselor of the Qi State, asked Gao Wei to deliver a speech to the soldiers defending the city in person to encourage the morale of the soldiers. He also personally wrote a speech for Gao Wei to defend the city with high spirits and desperately defending the city, and advised the little emperor to "should shed tears generously in order to protect the city." This touch inspires soldiers."Facing tens of thousands of solemn and solemn soldiers who were determined to win the battle, Gao Wei suddenly forgot the words in his speech and laughed out loud.The left and right eunuch Xingchen also laughed.As a result, the soldiers were furious and had no heart to fight. "Emperors are like this, why are we in a hurry"! Gao Wei summoned all the ministers and soldiers at Suzaku Gate to discuss countermeasures.Everyone disagrees and doesn't know what to do.Gao Li, the imperial family, persuaded: "Now most of the defectors are nobles and generals, and the soldiers have not left. Your Majesty, please order the family members of officials above the fifth rank to gather in Sandai, so as to force the nobles and generals to fight hard, and tell them to burn them all if they lose the army." Sandai. These people cherish their wives and must fight to the death. Although we have been retreating, Zhou Bing must have meant to despise us. If we fight against the city, we will definitely win." Gao Wei did not adopt this strategy. The fortuneteller in the palace said that there was a change in astronomy, and there should be signs of a change of dynasty.Gao Wei learned from his father, gave the throne to the prince, and became the emperor himself. Gao Wei felt guilty, and before the Zhou army attacked the city, he took his wife, children, and children to run to Jeju, with only a hundred or so horsemen as his entourage.After arriving in Qingzhou, he wanted to take refuge in the former enemy country Chen Dynasty.Gao Anagong, who followed him, wanted to capture him alive as a sacrifice to the Zhou Dynasty, and lied to him not to run in a hurry, saying that the Zhou Dynasty was still far behind. Gao Wei had time to spare and kept warm with Feng Xiaolian, but unexpectedly "Master Zhou is dying", Gao Wei was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst, he packed a large bag of gold and tied it to the saddle, ran wildly with his concubine and more than a dozen people, and was finally killed in Nandeng Village. Zhou Jun caught up with them and caught them all. After being taken captive to Chang'an, Gao Wei was named Duke Wen.The king of subjugation still did not forget to beg Emperor Wu of Zhou to return Feng Xiaolian to him.Emperor Wu of Zhou was not lustful, and said with a smile: "I look at the world as if I have taken off my clothes, how can I cherish an old woman." Gao Wei was still given back by Concubine Feng.Then the grand play of offering captives to the Taimiao in the Zhou Dynasty began. Hundreds of family ministers such as Gao Wei made captives and surrendered their ministers and knelt in front of the Taimiao of Zhou State. into the week. Then Lord Zhou held a celebration banquet and made Gao Wei dance.The history books did not record Gao Wei's dancing skills in detail, but it is estimated that he was smiling, flying and circling, and must have delighted Zhou's monarchs and officials with his exquisite Xianbei dance steps.Most of the last emperors were high-level cultural talents. Gao Wei and Chen Houzhu Shubao were musicians who could compose their own music. Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty was a poet through the ages. Will rule the country.In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent for the two emperors of the Jin Dynasty who were captured and washed.Since then, it has become a common practice for the captured monarch Tsing Yi to wash the wine glass, hold the jug to persuade him to drink, dance, stand on the captive's own victory queen and lift the umbrella cover, and the later emperors Hui and Qin were also humiliated by this. Half a year later, in order to eradicate the weeds, the people of the Zhou Dynasty falsely accused Gao Wei of treason, and the whole family, including more than 30 direct princes, were killed. Only Gao Renying and Gao Renya, Gao Wei's two idiots and disabled younger brothers, survived. Let it fend for itself in a remote place in Western Shu. The emperor of Zhou Dynasty bestowed Feng Xiaolian on behalf of Wang Yuwenda of the royal family and aristocrats.This Daiwang Yuwenda is the son of Emperor Wen of Zhou. He is a prince who is "resolute in nature and good at riding and shooting".According to the "Book of Zhou", "(Yuwen) Daya is very frugal, and he has no food and meals. There are only a few concubines, all of whom are dressed in thin clothes. They do not operate assets, and the country has no savings."His subordinates once advised him to accumulate property, and he replied: "A gentleman is not worried about poverty, so why bother about property." The typical gentleman is an upright gentleman who strictly abides by the principles of Confucius and Mencius.After Emperor Wu of Zhou captured Feng Xiaolian, it was precisely because Yu Wenda was famous for his bad manners, honesty and self-discipline that he bestowed Feng Xiaolian on Gao Wei after his death. The Dai Wang is so sensual, he must send Xiao Lian casually to the place where the servants live, so that the Dai Wang can become a good example for a generation of noble relatives. Unexpectedly, Yu Wenda fell in love with Xiao Lian, and the original Concubine Li was squeezed out by Xiao Lian and almost couldn't survive.It can be seen from this that Yu Wenda, the acting king who has been in a stable state for most of his life and has been tested for most of his life, also loses his soul when he sees Xiao Lian. It can be seen that Xiao Lian's appearance must be stunning in the world.Although Xiao Lian is favored by the new king, she still does not forget Gao Wei's benefits.Once he broke the strings while playing the pipa, and improvised a poem: "Although I am favored today, I still remember the pity of the past. If you want to know the heart is broken, you should look at the strings on your knees." A few years later, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty usurped the throne of Emperor Jing of Zhou, killed the Yuwen family, and after killing Yu Wenda, he bestowed Feng Xiaolian on Li Xun, the elder brother of Yu Wenda's concubine Li.Li Xun first let Xiao Lian wear rags to pound rice, and soon Li Xun's mother forced Xiao Lian to commit suicide.A generation of gorgeous flowers, the fragrance disappears and the king dies, and finally reunites with Gao Wei underground. If she can really return her soul to one place, it will not be in vain for the absurd king's love and affection for her! Li He, the grandson of the late Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Feng Xiaolian": See Xiao Lian at Wantou, please play the pipa strings. How much is it worth now if it is so broken. The skirt hangs with bamboo leaves, and the temples are wet with apricot flowers. The jade is cold and the red silk is heavy, and the concubine of Qi Palace drives the whip. Amidst the voices of castigation from generations to come, and the accusations of being a confidant, Jiang Wenyun of the Qing Dynasty said otherwise: "Qi Gaowei prefers to perish, and he refuses to go against his little pity. It's just like the so-called life and death friends!" Thinking about it low, don't have a feeling in my heart.
