Historical development, vast and mighty, like the water of the Yellow River, the waves rolling, those who follow the people's hearts win the world, and those who oppose the people's hearts lose the world. The benevolent one loves people, so he can be a king, inherent in the tang taizong song renzong and the like, standing at the head of the tide. When it comes to the Emperor of Northern Qi, most people think of absurdity, cruelty to Zhongliang, and pampering and adultery. However, there was an emperor in Northern Qi, Gao Yanzong, who reigned for only two days, and he was not noble, did not kill people softly, and could not talk about benevolence and love for the people. However, Gao Yanzong won the reputation of posterity, why is this?
Because the Ming Emperor is rare, the prodigal son is also rare to turn back. The stubborn person who "obeys the order in the midst of danger" shows fearlessness and regret, and assumes responsibility, which is precious.
Gao Yanzong was obese, but he was a flexible fat man, Gao Yanzong's strength was different from ordinary people, he could lift thousands of pounds, and he could gallop on the battlefield and walk like a fly. In terms of physical fitness test, Gao Yanzong can achieve excellence in this one. Gao Yanzong was the nephew of Gao Yang, the founding emperor of Northern Qi. Talking about Gao Yang, he is a tyrannical emperor, close to Zhu Ischi, close to Ink is black, of course, Gao Yanzong will not be much better.
Gao Yanzong mastered Gao Yang's shortcomings, coveting beauty, tyrannical, squandering luxury, and not treating people as people. What he did was even worse than Gao Yang's. Gao Yanzong had done the most absurd and perverted thing, and he ordered: He was upstairs to untie his hands and let the people below open their mouths to pick it up. Moreover, he mixed such filthy things with pig food and gave them to his attendants, and if they resisted not eating them or showed embarrassment, they would pull down their rods and rebuke them.
The degree to which the Northern Qi nobles played people was simply mad, but this behavior was really detrimental to the royal face and caused the emperor of the current dynasty to reprimand him.

However, Gao Yanzong was not at all moved, and still went his own way, and his "Zhengzheng Proud Bone" would never bow his head. Therefore, Gao Yan ordered Gao Yanzong to beat him with a hundred lashes, and Gao Yanzong was extremely dissatisfied, and while his men were beating, Gao Yanzong scolded, very unconvinced!
Not convinced, right?
Gao Yan ordered: Add thirty more whips!
Probably the royal family of Northern Qi had a rebellious nature, and Gao Yanzong, who had been beaten with one hundred and thirty lashes, not only did not keep to himself, but even intensified. He was no longer content to tease others, and raised this teasing others to a bloodier culmination—killing people for no reason.
The left and right attendants around him, the slightest unpleasant one, would be killed by Gao Yanzong. But later Gao Yan could not control him, because he died, and the new emperor Gao Zhan, in order to restrain Gao Yanzong, also spent a lot of effort.

However, later, Gao Yanzong actually changed his mind and decided to change his past mistakes, become a new person, keep to himself, and review his words and deeds. Probably because the sins he had committed were too deep and the blood stains were too bloody, Gao Yanzong gradually gathered his once crazy wings.
It was also at this juncture that Gao Wei, the emperor known as the most absurd, came to power, and the massacre of the clan became a common thing, but he saw that Gao Yanzong was like a quail and did not kill him. Perhaps gao Yanzong had a premonition, so he suddenly changed his mind before, changed his nature, and made a happy fat man in peace, thus saving a life.
Of course, northern Qi's brutal rule could not have continued in such a smooth manner. Neighboring Northern Zhou tigers, Gao Wei's rule made the people miserable, Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong led his troops to attack Northern Qi when the mansion was about to fall, Gao Wei actually fled in a daze, and under the persuasion of many ministers, he obstinately abandoned his courtiers and people, ordered Gao Yanzong to be the xiangguo, and fled for his own life.
A monarch abandons his country and people, and the people have no pillar of faith, so how can Northern Qi continue to maintain it when the country is in trouble? The northern Qi subjects were panicked because of Gao Wei's escape, they were captured without war, and they were reduced to slaves of the subjugated country, how could this not make them extremely chilled and weep bitterly?
After deliberating and wandering, several humeral ministers decided to put Emperor Gao Yanzong on the throne. However, Gao Yanzong only wanted to survive at this time, and the enemy was present, so he was in danger, and he couldn't help but feel wandering in his heart.
The ministers advised: "At present, the great enemy is present, there is no master in the country, and it is all dependent on you, at this time the dragons are leaderless, the army has not entered, and the Northern Qi kingdom will not be a country!" When Gao Yanzong heard this, his heart was excited and he decided to accept the order.
There is no doubt that Gao Yanzong took the throne at this time, stabilized the people's hearts, he led the army to battle, and the generals in the army shared the hardships of life and death, and also ordered that all the beautiful treasures in the palace be rewarded to the soldiers.
As a result, the Northern Qi army was greatly boosted, and the momentum was like a bamboo, successfully repelling the invasion of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, and almost let Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou die in front of the battle. Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou retreated in a hurry, and Northern Qi and Northern Zhou won the first battle, and Northern Qi miraculously won. After the victory, the Northern Qi military and people were overjoyed, busy celebrating the victory, neglecting to take precautions, and committing a major taboo for soldiers. The Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong was also some light enemies before the battle, and was repelled by the Morale of the Northern Qi army, and after a little reorganization, he took the opportunity to send troops.
The sudden attack broke through the so-called unbreakable walls of Northern Qi, broke the lively celebration banquet of Northern Qi, and the northern Qi army was busy with their hands, and finally the people turned on their horses. Gao Yanzong originally led his men to stubbornly resist, but in the end they were outnumbered and captured alive by Emperor Yuwen of Zhou.
However, after Gao Yanzong was captured, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou actually dismounted, held his hand, and treated him with courtesy, and he was very admired by Gao Yanzong, but admiration was returned to admiration, the king was defeated, the northern Qi trend was gone, and the unification of the north by Northern Zhou was already a foregone conclusion.
In 577, Gao Wei and the Northern Qi army were all captured by Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, and Yuwen Yong, in order to promote his own national prestige, feasted on the Northern Qi clan ministers, humiliated Gao Wei at the banquet, and let him dance to help entertain. Dancing with the Lord of the Nation? What a shame! Gao Yanzong desperately protected the lord, believing that this was disrespectful to Northern Qi, and even wanted to drink medicine to kill himself, and finally stopped.
The slaves of the fallen country lived in a foreign land, the king of the lost country was humiliated by others, the Northern Qi clan looked up to others, and the Gao royal family was already dying. And on the side of the bed, will others be allowed to sleep? How could Yuwen Yong let the Northern Qi Gao clan live?
Soon, Yuwen Yong was charged with treason and ordered the death of all Northern Qi clans. In order to survive, the Northern Qi sect prostrated themselves one after another and begged for forgiveness, but Gao Yanzong was proudly independent, refused to kneel, never asked for forgiveness, and finally committed suicide.
The Fat Emperor Gao Yanzong, in his early days, was stubborn, playing with others, ignoring the lives of others, treating others' lives as grass, and then speculating about current affairs, keeping to himself in peace, and being able to save his life. He reigned for two days, but he led the army on the battlefield, guarded the gate of the country, fixed the hearts of the army, and stabilized the people's hearts. After being captured, he protected the status of the old lord and protected the dignity of Northern Qi, preferring to stand and die rather than kneel with others to survive!
