This emperor just wanted to eat steamed fish dishes, but was strictly rejected by the ministers, and was abolished after only 75 days on the throne!
Almost every emperor had great power, except for a few emperors, such as Xiao Zhaowen. In the past, his talents were all reflected in the leadership of the army, but after his father's death, he became the emperor in a justified manner, and the puppet emperors of all generations were almost the same, they could not be arbitrary, and they had the imperial power to kill and rob and do whatever they wanted, but it was not a problem to eat a bite of their favorite meal and satisfy their appetites. However, Xiao Zhaowen, the Emperor of Southern Qi, could not do this.
Xiao Zhaowen, the Young Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, cited the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty as examples to illustrate the importance of alleviating servitude, and proposed to stop and prohibit some servitude measures. Xiao Zhaowen promoted Xiao Luan, the Duke of Xuancheng County, to the position of Taifu (太傅), led the general and pastor of Yangzhou, gave him special courtesy, and was made the King of Xuancheng. Under the strong auxiliary government of King Xuancheng, Taifu, The Great General, and Yangzhou Mu xiaoluan, the Southern Dynasty Qi Shao Emperor Xiao Zhaowen was an emperor in name only.
Because Xiao Zhaowen was a puppet emperor, everything he had to get Xiao Luan's permission including eating and living. Once, xiao Zhaowen wanted to eat steamed fish and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare, and when he arrived at the imperial dining room, he angrily asked the steward's Taiguan Ling why his dishes had not been good so far, but he only got a reply from Taiguan Ling, "No record of public life", and in the end Xiao Zhaowen could not eat the steamed fish.
Xiao Zhaowen himself was the tool that Xiao Luan used to seize power, and later, two months after Xiao Zhaowen ascended the throne, Xiao Luan abolished him in the name of empress dowager. In this way, Xiao Zhaowen became a victim of others' seizure of power, and can be said to be the most saccharine emperor in history. And later, he was cut down by Xiao Luan and removed from the roots to avoid the aftermath. From his accession to the throne on July 25, 494, to his abolition in early October 494. Xiao Zhaowen reigned for a total of 75 days.
