After Xiao Daocheng usurped the Song Dynasty, he established the State of Qi, reigned for four years, and died at the age of fifty-six. The eldest son, Xiao Zhao, ascended the throne as Emperor Zuwu of Qi. After reigning for twelve years, he returned to the west at the age of fifty-four and passed on to the emperor's grandson Xiao Zhaoye (whose father Xiao Changmao, the Prince of Wenhui, died early).

Xiao Zhaoye was twenty years old when he succeeded to the throne, and changed his name to Yuan Longchang in 494 AD.
Xiao Zhaoye's eyebrows were picturesque, graceful, and well-written, and Emperor Qiwu loved this grandson very much. He was raised by his second uncle Xiao Ziliang, the King of Jinling, since he was a child, and he was very pampered. King Jingling guarded Xizhou, and Xiao Zhaoye when he was a teenager was also accompanying him, and because there was no one to discipline him, he and more than twenty rogues on the left and right were in one place, and they were playing happily every day. His wife, Concubine He, was also a thin woman, and had an affair with several beautiful teenagers who played with Xiao Zhaoye. Later, Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jinling, entered the capital, and Xiao Zhaoye stayed in Xizhou alone, even more bold, going to various camps every day to hold obscene banquets, and secretly asking for money from local rich people. In order to reward the left and right rogues, he wrote the title of official in advance on yellow paper, promising to appoint himself as soon as he became emperor.
Emperor Wu and Prince Wenhui did not know about these absurd things, and Xiao Zhaoye's teachers and attendants were all elderly people in their seventies, and they were afraid of accidents and disasters, so they both committed suicide. Prince Wenhui was vaguely aware of his feelings, so he tightened his supervision and restrained his spending costs, so that the emperor's grandson was very honest for a while.
Soon, Prince Wenhui was seriously ill, Xiao Zhaoye acted realistically, mourned his relatives, and cried continuously, and the attendants and officials who did not know the details of the matter were moved to so many tears when they saw that the emperor's grandson was so filial. But as soon as he returned to his residence, he laughed and drank, ate and drank heavily, and the Qi Rong of Fang Cai was swept away, and it can be said that he has been a mannerist king since he was a child.
After the death of Prince Wenhui, Xiao Zhaoye was made the emperor's grandson and moved to the Eastern Palace. Grandpa Qiwu Emperor came to visit, and he greeted and wept bitterly. Emperor Wu personally went down to the public to comfort him, and was very touched by the filial piety of this child.
Later, hearing that Emperor Wu was ill, Xiao Zhaoye sent the witch Yang Clan to curse his grandfather for dying early so that he could ascend to the throne early, and sent a letter to his wife He Shi, with a large "joy" written on it, and thirty-six small "joy" characters around Zhou. However, when he entered the palace to serve the disease, Xiao Zhaoye's face turned into a face of mourning, and the emperor's grandson, in tears, knelt down in front of Emperor Wu's bed to ask about his condition.
Emperor Qiwu was convinced of this filial grandson, believing that he would be able to carry on the imperial inheritance, and instructed: "Baby, do a good job, miss Grandpa me, you must do a good job." "I said it twice, and my words collapsed.
As soon as Emperor Wu was in charge, Xiao Zhaoye summoned Emperor Wu's musicians to play music and dance. The musicians remembered the old emperor and wept while performing, while the little emperor laughed and chewed on the throne.
On the day of Emperor Wu's funeral, Xiao Zhaoye had just sent the funeral car out of the end door, and he pushed that he was ill and could not go to the cemetery. After returning to the palace, he immediately summoned musicians to play Huqu to perform songs and dances, and the trumpet huqin sounded inside and outside. The chancellor Wang Jing asked Xiao Tanzhi, a close confidant of Xiao Zhaoye, who was around him: "Is it too early to sing so happily and joyfully now?"
Xiao Tanzhi also had no lack of humor, and replied, "This voice is exactly the cry in the palace!"
After Xiao Zhaoye ascended the throne, he was extremely willing to reward the left and right groups, and the reward was hundreds of thousands. Every time I saw the gold and silver ingots on the bottom, I said to myself, "I used to think of none of you, see how I use you today!" There were a total of 800 million yuan in the imperial treasury, and the number of gold and silver cloth was innumerable, and Xiao Zhaoye had already squandered most of it less than a year after succeeding to the throne, and all of them were rewarded to the proud left and right and palace people. The palace is full of cultural relics and treasures, and a group of people usually throw and smash them for fun.
It is estimated that Xiao Zhaoye has a habit of strange costumes and often wears colorful splendid clothes in the palace. And at a high price, I bought a rooster to fight and play, and the cockfight was not good. His own empress, He Shi, was also very "free", and had promiscuous sex with the left and right every day. This young couple can be said to be the earliest sexual opener in China and the forerunner of "partner exchange".
Xiao Chen and Xiao Tan, the leaders of the Guards who were also the emperors of the State of Qi, saw that the little emperor was becoming more and more arrogant, and their hearts were terrified of the disasters in the future, so they secretly attached themselves to Xiao Luan, the Marquis of Xichang, and prepared to abolish the establishment.
In 494, Xiao Luan led troops into the palace, when Xiao Zhaoye was drinking naked with his pet Ji Huoshi, and immediately ordered the palace gate to be closed after hearing the news. Seeing Xiao Chen's soldiers running with swords in the distance, the little emperor knew that the near-waitress was plotting rebellion, and knowing that he was hopeless, he stabbed himself in the neck with a knife, because he drank too much wine and did not have enough courage, and his hands trembled and failed to commit suicide.
Xiao Chen sent someone to roughly bandage Xiao Zhaoye with a curtain and carry him out of the Yande Hall with his shoulders. When Xiao Chen first entered the palace, the guards saw that some soldiers were entering with shields and swords to meet the battle, and Xiao Chen shouted: "What is taken from someone, Qing Qing does not need to move." The guards thought that Xiao Chen, as the head of the janissaries, had entered the palace to arrest people on the emperor's orders, and they all laid down their weapons and stood by. Soon, the palace guards saw that the emperor was injured and was helped out, and they all wanted to stand up and rescue him. If the emperor shouted, it was not certain whose hand the deer died. Strangely, Xiao Zhaoye was silent, shrugging his head and sitting on his shoulder, and everyone had to watch him being carried out of the temple door. As soon as they disappeared from the sight of the guards, Xiao Luan's soldiers stabbed this adulterous heavenly son in the Western Lane, who was twenty-two years old.
In the name of empress dowager, Xiao Luan deposed Xiao Zhaoye as the King of Yulin and installed his brother Xiao Zhaowen the Prince of Xin'an. Within four months, Xiao Luan deposed Xiao Zhaowen as the King of Hailing and established himself as emperor for Emperor Qiming. Soon, Emperor Ming secretly sent someone to kill the then fifteen-year-old Hailing King.
Emperor Xiao Luan of Qiming was the son of Xiao Daowang, the elder brother of Emperor Xiao Daocheng of Qigao, whose father died early and was raised by Xiao Daocheng.
After Xiao Luan ascended the throne, he thought that the imperial family was not right, and his parents were all young, and the descendants of Emperor Gao of Song and Emperor Wu of Song were becoming increasingly mature, so he took advantage of the opportunity to kill the descendants of the two emperors.
Emperor Gao had nineteen sons, seven of whom died of illness before Emperor Xiao Luan claimed to be emperor, four of whom died prematurely, and the remaining eight were killed by Emperor Ming's personal orders; Of the twenty-three sons of Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu, only Prince Wenhui and Xiao Ziliang died of illness, Xiao Zixiang the Marquis of Yufu was killed for rebellion during Emperor Wu's reign, four of them died early, and the remaining sixteen sons, Xiao Ziqing the Prince of Luling and Xiao Zijing the Prince of Anlu, were all killed by Emperor Ming. After Prince Wenhui's two only sons, the deposed emperor Xiao Zhaoye and The Prince of Hailing, Xiao Zhaowen, were killed, Emperor Ming killed Two of Prince Wenhui's other sons, Xiao Zhaoxiu the Prince of Baling and Xiao Zhaoyue the Prince of Guiyang.
