Emperor Taishang, also known as Emperor Taishang, was a title given by a feudal dynasty to a dedicating emperor or the surviving father of an emperor of the current dynasty, usually to a living emperor who had already taken the throne. It is true that the status of the Emperor Taishang is supreme. However, compared with the emperor who held real power, Emperor Taishang was helpless and limited. Among them, as far as the Southern and Northern Dynasties period is concerned, there are four emperors, and their ending is not very good.
1. Northern Wei Tuobahong
Northern Wei Xianwen Emperor Tuoba Hong (454~476), the sixth emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty (reigned 465~471), the eldest son of Wencheng Emperor Tuoba Huan, biological mother Li Guiren. In the first month of the second year of Tai'an (456), Tuoba Hong was made crown prince. In May of the sixth year of peace (465), after the death of his father Tuoba Huan, Tuoba Hong ascended the throne as emperor and pacified the powerful minister Yihun. Chongwen attaches importance to teaching, and neglects thin endowments. Judging from the performance at the beginning of his accession to the throne, Tuoba Hong is still quite promising.
In the third year of Emperor Xing (469), Tuoba Hong made his infant eldest son, Tuoba Hong, crown prince. In the fifth year of Huangxing (471), Tuoba Hongchan gave way to the crown prince Tuoba Hong, honored as Emperor Taishang. In February of the second year of Yanxing (472), in the face of Rouran's attack, Tuoba Hong drove his own conquest, defeated Rouran, and pursued him to the desert. In addition to Bunji, Tuobahong's martial arts skills are also relatively outstanding.
However, such an excellent emperor suddenly died violently in the first year of Chengming (476) at the age of twenty-three. In this regard, in the author's opinion, Tuobahong's untimely death can be called a great loss for the Northern Wei Dynasty. After his death, he was buried in the Jinling Tomb in the clouds.
2. Northern Qi Gaozhan
Emperor Gao Zhan (537 – January 13, 569), the fourth emperor of Northern Qi (reigned 561~565). The ninth son of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang, and Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan were the same brothers, and his mother was Empress Wuming Lou Zhaojun. According to the records of historical materials such as the Book of Northern Qi, Gao Zhan's appearance is magnificent, his demeanor is refreshing, and he is very loved by Gao Huan. In the second year of Emperor Jian (561), Gao Zhan ascended the throne and changed his name to Taining. During his reign, he repeatedly defeated the Northern Zhou and Turks, and rescued Jinyang and Luoyang. There is an imperial measure, which makes the civil and military officials do their best.
However, during Gao Zhan's reign, he wantonly killed the clan office, resulting in increasing chaos in the imperial government and the decline of the country. In the fourth year of the Heqing Dynasty (565), Gao Zhan took the place of the crown prince Gao Wei and proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang. On January 13, 569, Gao Zhan died at the age of thirty-two, with the title of Emperor Wucheng and the ancestor of the temple, buried in the Yongping Mausoleum. As Emperor Taishang, Gao Zhan's age when he died was too young.
3. Northern Qi High Latitude
Gao Wei (29 May 556 – November 577), the fifth emperor of Northern Qi (reigned 565–577), was the second son of Emperor Wucheng of Qi, Gao Zhan, and his mother was Empress Hu of the Wucheng clan. In the second year of Taining (562), Gao Wei was made crown prince, and in the fourth year of Heqing (565), he was ordained by Zen. During Gao Wei's reign, he was unscrupulous, appointed traitors, killed Gao Ji the King of Boling, Gao Jian the King of Langya, Gao Changgong the King of Lanling, and Luguang the Prime Minister Hu, and self-destroyed the Great Wall, causing Northern Qi to further decline and the country's situation to collapse.
In the seventh year of Wuping (576), Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, made a crusade to the east, defeated the Qi army, and attacked Yecheng. On 20 December (February 4, 577), Gao Weichuan took the position of the crown prince Gao Heng, and led the young lord Gao Heng and others to prepare to surrender to the Chen Dynasty. As Emperor Taishang, Gao Wei was eventually captured by the Northern Zhou army, and was first demoted to the Duke of Wen. In October of the first year of Chengguang (577), he was falsely accused of participating in the rebellion of Yizhou Shi Mu Tipo, and was given death together with Gao Yanzong, Gao Heng, and others of Ande at the age of twenty-two. For Gao Wei, the emperor, the final is an unhappy ending.
4. Northern Zhou Yuwen Yun
Yuwen Yun (559 ~ June 22, 580), fourth emperor of Northern Zhou (June 21, 578 ~ March 579). The eldest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, and his mother was Empress Dowager Li Ezi. In the first year of Jiande (572), Yuwen Yun was canonized as the crown prince, and in the first year of Xuanzheng (578), he became emperor and changed to Yuan Dacheng. After Yuwen Yun came to the throne, he indulged in wine, tyranny and adultery, lavishly decorated the palace, and indiscriminately punished him, often sent his cronies to monitor the words and deeds of ministers, and killed his uncle Yuwen Xian the Prince of Qi, and the Northern Zhou state gradually declined.
In the first year of the elephant (579), Yuwen Yunchan took the position of his eldest son, Yuwen Xuan, who proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyuan, but still controlled the imperial power. Due to excessive indulgence and unbridled frolic, Yuwen Yun's health deteriorated day by day, and he died the following year at the age of twenty-two, and was buried in Dingling as Emperor Xuan. In this regard, in the author's opinion, Yuwen Yun, the emperor Taishang, not only died young, but also directly led to the demise of Northern Zhou. The year after his death, Yang Jian deposed Emperor Yuwen Xuan and established the Sui Dynasty, and Northern Zhou perished.
