Although Gao Yang was tyrannical, his talent was very prominent, and during his ten-year reign, Northern Qi flourished day by day, and when it came to Gao Zhan, who was one of tyrants and emperors, it took only eight years to plague Northern Qi from top to bottom. Northern Qi's old rival, Northern Zhou, although it had always been in the hands of the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, did not have much turmoil, even if Yuwen Hu killed three emperors in a row, it did not cause disintegration.
In particular, the newly rising steppe overlord Turks also sided with Northern Qi, and the situation in Northern Qi was full of dangers, but Northern Qi was able to defeat Northern Zhou and the Turks and continue to hold firm, inseparable from the last three generals of Northern Qi: Duan Shao, Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong.
Tall and long
He Shikai dominated Northern Qi
When Gao Wei inherited the superb Jiangshan, he was only thirteen years old, a shy child, and he did not like anything but music. In the same year, the Northern Qi general Duan Shao died of illness, and this founder who had experienced several "crazy" emperors in Northern Qi died in his seventies, which can be described as extremely lucky.
The young Gao Wei, in accordance with Gao Zhan's instructions before his death, completely entrusted the power of the state to HeShikai, who was not only Gao Zhan's favorite, but also had an unclear relationship with Empress Hu, Gao Zhan was deceived by him when he was alive, and once Gao Zhan died, He Shikai and Empress Hu completely disregarded others, and often showed their love in the palace.
Gao Wei's biological mother, Empress Dowager Hu
Gao Wei's uncle Gao Rui and others did not want to take power with Shi Kai alone, and tried everything possible to transfer He Shi Kai away from Yecheng and sent to the localities, but unfortunately Empress Hu took sides with Shi Kai, and Gao Wei one-sidedly listened to the rumors that He Shi Kai mistakenly trapped Gao Rui's rebellion, and not only killed his uncle Gao Rui, but also transferred all the ministers who supported Gao Rui out of the capital.
After Gao Rui's death, He Shikai completely achieved the sole control of power, almost the same as Yuwen Hu of Northern Zhou, but He Shikai did not rely on power and means, but relied on the favor of Gao Zhan and Empress Hu to stand in this position.
Due to his excessive belief in Heshikai, Gao Wei believed that the descendants of the Gao family were no longer trustworthy, and the Han ministers and Xianbei nobles also plotted against him, so he left an important position in the imperial court to his wet nurse Lu Lingxuan and her son Mu Tibo, as well as the original Eastern Palace guards.
Taking care of children and being a bodyguard is still competent, but if they can govern the country, it is a bit unreasonable, and These appointments by Gao Wei are simply nonsense.
Gao Yu killed the powerful courtiers
A Northern Qi that had been made into a miasma by HeShikai and others did not have many warriors who dared to dedicate themselves, and the ministers were all tortured and broken by the madmen of the Gao family, only Gao Yu, the king of Langya, stepped forward and joined forces with Feng Ziqun to plan to attack Heshikai.
Gao Yu's plan was very simple, that is, to get Gao Wei to personally approve the edict to kill He Shikai, but He Shikai was Gao Wei's favorite vassal and Empress Dowager Hu's personal attendant, how easy would it be for Gao Wei to issue such an order?
In fact, it was very easy to do this well, because when Gao Wei approved the official documents, he did not look at the content at all, and with a big wave of his hand, the official documents were approved, and when the edicts of the killing and shikai were issued, Gao Wei did not know what had happened.
Of course, He Shikai did not know, and was so confused that he was killed by Gao Yu, a minister with power in the opposition was killed by a fourteen-year-old young prince, and the general Huo Luguang was very happy when he heard about it, but Gao Yu was confused at this time, and even took the opportunity of killing He Shikai to attack the palace and wanted to seize power and usurp the throne.
Although Huo Luguang could not rectify Shi Kai, it was still more than enough to deal with thousands of rebels, and in view of Gao Yu's killing and Shi Kai's meritorious deeds, Huo Luguang protected Gao Yu and barely protected his life, but unfortunately, it was not long before Gao Wei sent someone to quietly kill this brother.
And Shikai
Hang kill Huo Luguang
He Shikai died, the old lover Empress Hu was not too sad, because she found a more satisfactory object than HeShikai, the monk Tan Xian, and began a life without shame and shame, and Shi Kai fornicated with the harem, Gao Wei endured, after all, he was Gao Zhan's most favored courtier before he died, but Tan Xian was something, a monk who did not keep the precepts.
Gao Wei was unable to convict Empress Dowager Hu and Tan Xian for not having direct evidence of adultery. However, Tan Xian and Empress Hu had reached the age of high desire, and secretly met every day, and once Tan Xian disguised herself as a palace maid and had a lively time with Empress Hu, she was actually caught by Gao Wei.
Tan Xian's appearance was really too tempting, and the male dress of a woman also fascinated Gao Wei, but when Gao Wei found out that he was a man, he directly killed him, and then imprisoned Empress Hu.
Empress Dowager Hu was completely deprived of power, and Zu Jue, another favorite of Gao Zhan, who had previously been put together by He Shikai and Empress Dowager Hu, could finally show his prominence, this was also a complete villain, but he was much smarter than He Shikai, and without Empress Hu's restraint, Zu Jue contacted Gao Wei's grandmother Lu Lingxuan for the first time and committed adultery with him.
Zu Jue came out of the mountain again
Just left he Shikai and Empress Dowager Hu, and then came a Zu Jue and Lu Lingxuan, the Northern Qi general Huo Luguang was quite depressed, seeing that Northern Qi was about to be corrupted by these faint monarchs, Huo Luguang was angry, and cursed Zu Jue at home every day not to die well, and was discovered by Zu Jue's secret agents.
Hindered by Huo Luguang's prestige in the army, Zu Hu did not dare to attack him, but at this time, the Northern Zhou general Wei Xiaokuan offered an assist, and he always had no way to win against Huo Luguang, so he thought of a vicious technique, and the reverse plan.
Since ancient times, there have been many famous generals killed by the anti-conspiracy, but Wei Xiaokuan did not hold out much hope, Huo Luguang was very loyal, and he was very popular, he only wanted to make Gao Wei suspicious and transfer Huo Luguang away, never thinking that in Northern Qi's Yecheng, there was even an "ally" he had never met.
After Zu Jue heard Wei Xiaokuan's rumors, he laughed like a fool, he quickly found Lu Lingxuan, went to meet Gao Wei together, and added oil and vinegar to Wei Xiaokuan's rumors, stunned that it was the evidence of Huo Luguang's rebellion, Gao Wei was not ambiguous, and immediately sent someone to quietly go to the battlefield to kill Huo Luguang.
At this time, it was only less than a year before the death of the Northern Qi general Duan Shao.
Huo Luguang was killed
Poison the Lanling King
After killing Huo Luguang, Gao Wei's target was aimed at the last general of Northern Qi, Gao Changgong, the King of Lanling.
Gao Wei was a mediocre lord, and what the mediocre lord feared most was that there were stronger people in the clan room than him, since Gao Yan seized power, Gao Yang's sons had been killed one after another, and after Gao Zhan ascended to the throne, he had successively killed the descendants of Gao Cheng, Gao Yang, and Gao Yan, and at this time, among the descendants of Gao Huan's sons, there were too few people with talent and prestige.
King Lanling was the most authoritative of them, and more importantly, Gao Changgong was Gao Cheng's sixth son, and if he wanted to seize power, it was also reasonable, and Gao Changgong was actually walking a tightrope in front of Gao Wei.
However, Gao Changgong's tightrope was crooked, and he mistakenly regarded Northern Qi's military affairs as a family affair.
"You are not the emperor of Northern Qi, so why do you regard northern Qi's military affairs as your own?"
Gao Wei's lack of confidence in front of Gao Changgong was once again revealed, he was afraid that Gao Changgong would seize power, even though he knew that Gao Changgong did not have that idea, but Gao Wei's inner suspicion had made him give up thinking, and there was only one thing left, to kill Gao Changgong.
With a glass of poisonous wine, Gao Changgong, who was famous and loyal, left, only two years after Duan Shao's death, and only a year after Hu Luguang was killed.
Within three years, the three pillars of Northern Qi, one died of illness, two were killed, and on the speed of self-destruction of the Great Wall, Gao Wei was by no means inferior to Hu Hai of Qin II.
Poison and kill Lanling King
Yuwen Yong unified the north
Huo Luguang was killed, Yuwen Yong in the west was happy to amnesty the world, and when Gao Changgong was also killed, Yuwen Yong was even more excited, and even the heavens were helping him unify the world.
After three years of preparation, Yuwen Yong finally moved, this time pouring out of the nest, directly to Luoyang, all the way up the wind and water, straight to Luoyang City, but here encountered the stubborn resistance of Northern Qi, coupled with Yuwen Yong's sudden illness, Northern Zhou had to withdraw its troops.
In less than a year, Yuwen Yong came again, and although he chose to retreat in the last battle, he had already let Yuwen Yong see the shortcomings of Northern Qi, and in Yuwen Yong's heart, Northern Qi was now a rotten tree.
This time, Yuwen Yong no longer attacked Luoyang steadily, but instead attacked Jinyang, the political core of Northern Qi.
When the gateway of Jinyang, Pingyang, was captured, The Emperor of Northern Qi, Gao Wei, was hunting with his favorite concubine Feng Xiaopi, and the soldiers of Northern Qi sent many urgent documents in succession, and whenever Gao Wei wanted to leave, Feng Xiaopi fell under the pomegranate skirt, the country and the beauty, Gao Wei chose the latter.
When Feng Xiaopi was tired of playing, Gao Wei finally took more than 100,000 people to rescue Pingyang, at this time the city of Pingyang had been occupied by Northern Zhou, and the Northern Zhou general Liang Shiyan personally led 10,000 people to defend the city.
Northern Qi was crowded, and Pingyang City had just been washed in the blood of the war, and there were not many defensive facilities, just when Northern Qi was about to break through Pingyang City, Gao Wei, who was on the front line, suddenly ordered to stop the siege.
Because his beloved concubine Feng Xiaopi wanted to watch this grand scene in person.
Feng Xiaopi
The Northern Qi generals were confused, and they even played like this. However, Liang Shiyan was not confused, taking advantage of this short gap, Liang Shiyan immediately ordered people to build city defenses, and when Feng Xiaopi arrived at the battlefield slowly and leisurely, the Northern Qi army could not defeat Pingyang City.
This wave of gao wei's operation shocked Yuwen Yong in Luoyang, he did not want to have a hard confrontation with Gao Wei, leaving Liang Shiyan was only to consume the military strength of Northern Qi, did not think that Gao Wei had fainted to this extent, Yuwen Yong immediately led his troops north to fight Gao Wei.
The two armies fought, Gao Wei went with Feng Xiaopi again, the war began, Feng Xiaopi's brain was convulsive, shouting at Gao Wei that he had lost and lost, Gao Wei was the lord who spared his life, immediately stepped on the warhorse, slipped away with a cigarette, it was a battle of equal strength, and he was stunned that a woman and a faint prince played a pursuit battle.
Gao Wei was defeated very badly, and after barely escaping to Jinyang, he let his cousin Gao Yanzong stay behind and ran away with Feng Xiaopi and Mu Tibao and others for the night.
After Gao Wei ran away, Gao Yanzong had no choice but to claim the title of emperor in Jinyang, but he was only an emperor for three days before he was captured alive by the Northern Zhou army.
Jinyang was lost, and Yicheng became the next target of attack in Northern Zhou, at this time, the territory of Northern Qi was occupied, the soldiers were killed, and everyone was indignant, except for Gao Wei and Feng Xiaopi, these two people actually laughed and played in the oath meeting of Yicheng, and did not care about the destruction of the country and the death of the family.
The emperor didn't care, why did the generals fight for his life, he looked handsome? Or does he have a beauty Feng Xiaopi?
Yicheng was soon conquered by the Northern Zhou army, of course, at this time Gao Wei had already run away, planning to defect to Southern Chen, but before he could run out of Qingzhou, he was captured by Wei Chiqin, and gao Huan spent his life fighting the world and was easily buried by his grandson.
