In the history of China, there is no dynasty or generation, which state or country like the founding emperor of Northern Qi, Emperor Wenxuan Emperor Gao Yang in those years, Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, relatives of the emperor, princes and princesses, empress concubines, and even the empress dowager, the imperial concubines, all the way to the guards eunuchs, ordinary officials and ordinary people, almost all of them hate wine, all of them are afraid of wine, and all of them talk about the change of wine. Wine is fiercer than harsh government, and more fierce than tigers. This is an extremely unique page in Chinese history. It is not so much that wine is Satan, but that Gao Yang, the Wenxuan Emperor who founded Northern Qi, is Satan. But as an emperor who changed dynasties, he must have something outstanding. The condition is that Gao Yang does not dip into wine, and dipping wine becomes Satan.
Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang
Gao Yang's father, Gao Huan, gained power over Eastern Wei and actually held the real power of the Eastern Wei dynasty, not an emperor who was better than an emperor. Gao Huan was a drunkard, addicted to alcohol, and the amount of alcohol was extremely large, and the "History of the North" recorded that Gao Huan "had little ability to drink dramatically". The "History of the North" does not elaborate on how much "drama drinking" can drink, and it is estimated that the amount of alcohol is not small. Gao Yang can drink, drink well, dare to drink, and drink big wine. But Gao Huan has extremely strong self-control, plays politics, such as walking on thin ice, and slightly accidentally breaks the family and dies. So Gao Huan "took on the responsibility of the great, but the three lords." It was Gao Yangkai's turn to become emperor of the national dynasty, and in the early days of the founding of the country, he also exerted great efforts to govern, "paying attention to government affairs, rationalizing the complicated punishment, and being tireless all the time." Gao Yang did have some talent and courage, and the country of Qi was initially ruled, and the world was ruled by great rule, and there was a lot of praise. Gao Yang looked at the world, Lao Tzu was the first in the world, the country was built by me, the dynasty was changed by me, and I did the expansion of the territory. Neither the Northern History nor the Book of Northern Qi record when this "Chaos Demon King" was so drunk that he could no longer extricate himself. He changed the Eastern Wei Dynasty, changed the small half of China in northern China, but he was completely changed by wine. If a person is completely taken down by wine and is always in a state of alcohol poisoning, then he will affect a family and destroy a family; if an emperor is completely conquered by wine, and is always in the state of "drunkenness" of drunkards and drunkards, then it will be a country that is unlucky and suffers. Gao Yang is exactly like this.
Gao Yang pays attention to thorough drinking, and does not drink "the earth upside down" without stopping. After binge drinking and getting drunk, Gao Yang's performance is extreme excitement, extreme madness, tossing and turning, and trying to find excitement. The wine is awesome. Gao Yang drinks wine, day and night. The traditional program of drinking and admiring beauty singing and dancing has lost any luster to him, and all he needs is what others can't stand - Gao Yang takes pleasure in killing people, and kills people with wild abuse to help drink.
Gao Yang would kill people every time he drank wine. Why kill people, kill people, there is no reason and standard, see who is not pleasing to the eye, think of who comes, take it to kill for fun. And the means were extremely cruel, in front of the minister of culture and martial arts who accompanied him to drink, he dismembered people alive, skinned, shaved his eyes, cut off his tongue, chopped off his limbs, and all used craftsman tools, the prisoners were dying and crying, the pain was extremely painful, the others at the banquet were terrified, one head and one back of white sweat, Gao Yang was happy like a child's New Year, and shouted and jumped and laughed. Even the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs in the audience looked at him slightly, pulled down the hall and beheaded and chopped off his feet, either buried alive or burned. This Wenxuan Emperor also had a pleasure after drinking, whether it was to kill or slash or slash, the emperor often took matters into his own hands, Happy in the moment when the blood splashed all over his face, Happy in the torturers' extreme pain and extreme misery when the wailing and hissing. Even the governor of the dynasty, without any fault or reason, let the Wenxuan Emperor be sawn alive in public. There was no way, one of his ministers named Yang Yan had to pull out dozens or even more than a hundred death row prisoners from the prison every day for Gao Yang to be happy after drinking, and there were not enough death row prisoners in the capital city to escort the prisoners in the war and criminals from other places to the capital City of Yecheng, so that Gao Yang would personally take matters into his own hands after getting drunk and "kill himself with his own hands."
Saying that Gao Yang was poisoned by alcoholism did not wrongfully accuse him. It is better to say that he is Satan.
After getting drunk, Gao Yang is most likely in a state of high alcoholism. His cranial nerves and central nervous system were completely out of control, and the six relatives did not recognize him. Once, not knowing which of his nerves was burned to the boiling point by the wine, for no reason, pulling a bow at his mother-in-law was an arrow, piercing the old lady's cheeks, he still did not understand the hatred, kicked the old man down again, raised the horse whip and whipped the old lady fiercely for more than a hundred whips, almost taking the life of his old mother-in-law. Who next to him dares to persuade? One day he saw his own mother-in-law, Empress Lou, sitting on a small bed in the palace, and Gao Yang did not drink alcohol, but he knew his mother-in-law and knew filial piety, but after getting drunk—for no reason, without warning, and everyone around him was unprepared—the emperor walked over shakily, raised his mother-in-law high above his head with his hands along with the bed, and fell out, almost killing the old lady. to such an extent, I am afraid that Satan can't!
He had a noble concubine who was pampered. One day he just got up with him, and he didn't know why, and it was estimated that even Gao Yang himself didn't know why, perhaps because last night's wine had not woken up, and he actually cut off Xue Guifei's head with a knife, shocking everyone. Gao Yang also carried the bloody beauty head into his arms, and then went to feast on the courtiers. After the "drama drink", the Wenxuan Emperor suddenly took out the beautiful head from his arms, held the bloody human head in both hands and looked left and right, said a few dry trumpets, and then ordered people to put Xue Guifei's body on the wine case, and in full view of the Manchu Dynasty Minister of Culture and Martial Arts, personally dismembered Xue Guifei's body, even removed the bones and flesh, cut the tendons and removed the dirt, and finally chopped off Xue Guifei's thighs to make a bone and flesh pipa, installed a column string to play itself and sing, "A frightened, do not be afraid." Finally, the Gaoyang Emperor wept bitterly again, and he walked on foot, crying and sending him to the funeral.
There are many absurd and shameless, inhuman, animalistic, and heinous absurd things that Gao Yang did after drinking alcohol. Not only is it a disaster for the country and the people, it is cruel and cruel, but it is also crazy and insane, not a man and a ghost, although he is the king of a country, even the minimum dignity of being a human being has been completely lost. He often stripped naked, but he ran rampant in the capital, domineering street markets, no scruples, even in the cold winter moon, the Wenxuan Emperor also came and went in red stripes, without shame. On a whim, he painted colors or stripes on his body, rode sika deer, white elephants, camels and other animals, laughed loudly as he walked, ripped open his throat while running, and sang loudly, no matter where he went, he saw the house enter the house, saw the hospital admission, saw the woman pulled and raped, and even the retinue who followed him was too ashamed to look up. But he was in high spirits and acted day and night. Gao Yang could also be sad and let the wine be tortured like that, but he was even more hateful, and the people of the whole country hated him.
Emperor Wenxuan of Northern Qi also had a unique job after drinking. There is probably no second person in China's history. When he was drunk, walking and swinging, and his tongue was hard, he was often on a whim, and he could strode up to the main hall of the palace, and walked like a fly on the roof of the hall. According to historical records, the main hall of the palace was "three wooden structures twenty-seven meters high, and the two holdings were more than 200 feet apart." No one could believe that Gao Yang, who was still unstable on the flat ground, ran around on the high roof ridge, and often had many high-difficulty and high-risk movements, which made the courtiers below look both worried and sincerely hoped that he would step on the air and fall to his death. However, after Emperor Wenxuan was drunk, he went to the temple many times to play with the hanging, and never lost his foot. After playing aerial acrobatics among Chinese emperors and being deeply drunk, Gao Yang was a must.
The Northern Qi Dynasty founded by Gao Yang has only experienced twenty-seven years, but the culture of Northern Qi is still brilliant. Northern Qi sculptures, paintings, architecture, and poetry still have a great influence on later generations. Gao Yang is not Satan, but the drunken Gao Yang is not even as good as Satan.
The reaction of wine to Gao Huan and Gao Yang's father and son is also very different. When Gao Huan was fighting against the Western Wei army, he felt seriously ill and feared that he would not last long, and he was worried that the army's mood was unstable, so he called his generals to a cocktail party in the camp to show that he was still alive and healthy. After drinking the three lords in a row, his general Huo Lujin beat the drum and sang the "Song of Shule":
The Shule River, under the Yin Mountains. The sky is like a vault, and the cage covers the four fields. The sky is clear, the wild is vast, and the wind blows grass low to see cattle and sheep.
Gao Yang was also among them, singing with his father Gao Huan, weeping with sadness, and making up his mind to kill the enemy together. At that time, Gao Yang, who could have known that he was a satanic devil?
This is a rare book that looks back at the times, a book that deeply reflects on trends and movements, a book that records the complex and multiple emotions of intellectual youth, and this is The new work of Bai Tou-ong, "Also Three Springs and Autumn: My Years of Knowing Youth", which is worth reading, worth having, and worth placing on the desk.
