Happy people are healed by childhood all their lives, unfortunate people are healing their childhood all their lives, and the emperor is no exception. When we talk about Gao Yang, the founding emperor of Northern Qi, the first impression that comes to mind may only be the absurd behavior of his later years--raping his aunt in front of the lingtang, gathering the women of the clan to let the slaves rape in public, making the patella of his favorite concubine into a pipa, and so on.
But in fact, in the early years, Gao Yang was also a heroic teenager, who saved the family from falling in danger. Conquer the Khitan and ping Turks, and revise the Northern Qi Law; it can even be said that without the Northern Qi Law, the legal system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties would not have achieved so much.
How did such a male lord who was revered by ethnic minorities as many martial arts and was revered as the "Heroic Heavenly Son" become the most absurd "Beast Emperor" in history in the later period?
All this may also start from her mother, Gao Yang's mother Lou Zhaojun was the granddaughter of the Marquis Zhending of Northern Wei at that time, and was given to Situ Lou Neigan's daughter. Proper "three generations of officials", the daughter of the rich. Many of the rich families wanted to marry her, but they could not get into her eyes.
Lou Zhaojun
Until one day, the rich family and the maid went out to play. As he passed the city walls, he glanced at the soldiers on the walls. At once, I saw Gao Huan, who was on duty at that time, and saw Gao Huan's moment. Miss Lou was immediately overjoyed--this Gao Huan was not only dignified, but also extraordinary. In the future, great things will be accomplished, and he said to the maid, "I must make this man my husband!" ”
From here, we can see Miss Lou's "Yan Dog" attribute, hehe, but also laid the groundwork for the attitude towards Gao Yang in the future.
After returning from playing outside the city, Miss Lou sent the maid to confess her heart to Gao Huan. At this time, Gao Huan was poor and white, and of course he would not refuse.
However, you can fall in love without money, and you need money to get married! What if this Gao Huan didn't have the money to propose to him? This Miss Lou secretly transferred her family's belongings to Gao Huan and asked Gao Huan to propose to her.
When the Lou family saw that Gao Huan was good-looking and not bad at money, they happily agreed, not knowing that all this money was their own.
After marriage, Gao Huan did not disappoint Miss Lou, and he proved that he was not a "vase" with his actual actions. Soon he became the prime minister of power and opposition, and was known as "Cao Cao of Eastern Wei".
This Miss Lou is not a ruthless and wayward person, who knows things in general. For the sake of her husband's future, she took the initiative to let her husband marry Princess Rouran, retired herself as a concubine, and let Princess Rouran do the main room.
The two had a total of six sons and two daughters, and with such a capable father and sensible mother, the children's lives should be very happy.
But Miss Lou is a yan dog, and her children are no exception.
Miss Lou and Gao Huan are both talents, and the children born are all handsome and beautiful women. Only Gao Yang was an exception, born black and ugly. Therefore, Miss Lou was very reluctant to see him, not to what extent. Without waiting to see Gao Yang die, Lou wanted to kill his grandson and make his other sons emperor.
When Gao Yang was preparing to usurp the throne, Lou Shi said mercilessly: "Father Ru is like a dragon, brother is like a tiger, just as the heavenly throne cannot be presumptuous, and he will face the north for life." Whoever is alone in Ru wants to do the things of Shun and Yu! ”
Meaning, you don't pee on yourself either. Your father and your brother, each one looks like a dragon and phoenix among people. Don't you dare to usurp the throne and stand on your own, do you have a few pounds and a few points yourself, do you still want to be an emperor?
This can also explain why Gao Yang later loved to run naked and love women's clothes, because he wanted to attract the attention of others.
(Although it is recorded in history that Lou was very kind to every child.) But combined with Gao Yang's later performance, I prefer to believe the records in the history of the wild. ）
And his brother Gao Cheng, although also shrewd and capable. But he was too and committed adultery with his father's concubine (who also had a leg with his own son...). Gao Huan was so angry that he once wanted to abolish his position as the son of the world.
In order to keep his position as the son of the world, Gao Cheng was often wary of his other brothers, of which Gao Yang was the most threatening.
Gao Yang has been clever and clever since childhood, one day. Father Gao Huan gave them each mess to see who would unravel it first. They all pull out the mess one by one, and then straighten it out one by one. Some brothers were in a hurry, and they also knotted the hemp into knots, and they were all sweating profusely.
Only Gao Yang found a quick knife, cut off those intertwined messes with a few knives, and then sorted them out, and quickly straightened them out.
When Gao Huan saw Gao Yang doing this, he was very surprised and asked, "How did you come up with this method?" "
Gao Yang replied, "Those who are chaotic must be cut!" "
Gao Cheng often took the lead in bullying Gao Yang in order to save his life. Gao Yang began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, often running a nose and not wiping it. His brother teased him in public, asking his servant why he didn't wipe his nose and laughing.
They often go to extremes, either sitting at home all day without talking, or running and jumping all day at home.
His wife, Li Zu'e, couldn't stand it and asked him what he was doing. He just replied, "It's just fun."
Although Gao Yang was crazy and insane, his father saw it and gave the evaluation that "this child has more than me.".
But this made Gao Cheng anxious, and in order to test whether he was really stupid, Gao Cheng flirted with his wife Li Zu'e in front of him. Of course, the lustful factor is also in it, and this Li Zu'e is known as the "first beauty of the Eastern Wei Dynasty".
Gao Yang just stood next to him and smirked, not resisting with a runny nose.
(This is also one of the reasons for the onset of schizophrenia – being bullied but unable to resist!) ）
Fortunately, Li Zu'e was a fierce woman who vowed to die. Not only did he keep his dignity, but he also saved Gao Yang's dignity. Since then, Li Zu'e has become Gao Yang's "white moonlight", and gao Yang will no longer act recklessly in the future. But he has great respect for Li Zu'e and never does anything excessive to her.
Later, Gao Yang became emperor, and the ministers of the court advised him to appoint another daughter of a powerful man as empress in order to win the support of the family clan. However, he still gave her the position of empress against all odds, and did not hesitate to offend the Manchu Dynasty.
Li Zu'e
Imagine that your mother doesn't want to see you. Your brother wants to kill you, and the most important people in your life are doing this to you, in exchange for you, are you crazy?
And such a day gao yang was more than ten years old, and finally let Gao Cheng say such a thing - "If people like Gao Yang can be rich, then what is the role of xiangshu?" ”
Gao Cheng unloaded all his defenses against Gao Yang!
Later, Gao Cheng was assassinated by the Assassins. Gao Yang immediately removed all disguises and took over the entire political clique. Forced Emperor Xiaojing to take the throne and created his own era - The Northern Qi Dynasty!
Those who bullied him also paid the price:
Gao Cheng's wife, forced to die by him!
He bullied his brother and was burned to death by him!
The women of the clan who had laughed at him were raped among his servants!
Gao Yang also lost himself in such killing, and finally completely became a schizophrenic patient and died of drunkenness.
