Lord Qi's words are astringent, he doesn't like to see the courtiers, he is not a pet and a private nickname, and he has not tried to communicate. Sexual cowardice, unbearable, although the three publics, orders, and recordings, they don't have to look up, they all slightly show their big fingers, and they are frightened out.

In the summer, April (this date is suspected to be wrong.)
Translator), the Northern Qi Dynasty sent Xue Gukangmai to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to mourn the deceased Empress Dowager and attend her funeral.
In the past, Qi Shizu made a pair of beaded culottes for Empress Hu, and the money used was too much to count, but it was later destroyed by fire. At this time, Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was ready to ask someone to make one for Empress Mu, so he specially sent a merchant to bring 30,000 brocades and buy pearls with the envoys who served as condolences. The Northern Zhou people were reluctant to do this business, and the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty later managed to make beaded culottes himself. Later, Empress Mu lost the favor of the queen, but her maid Feng Xiaolian was greatly favored and was named a concubine, and she was inseparable from the queen.
……
The latter was clumsy in speech, did not like to meet with officials of the DPRK and China, and never talked to anyone except those close to him, who he particularly favored. He was also weak-tempered and afraid of the stares of others. Even if important officials such as the Third Duke, Shang Shuling, and Lu Shang Shushi performed to him, they were not allowed to look up at him, and most of them told a little about the general situation, and then carefully left as soon as possible. Gao Wei inherited the luxurious life of the ancestors of the Northern Qi Dynasty, believing that it was the emperor and the enjoyment he deserved. The concubines are all well-dressed and well-fed, and even the cost of a dress is equivalent to the price of 10,000 brocades. The beauties of the harem competed in the new and fresh clothes, and the styles that were popular in the morning were thrown away in the evening. He also vigorously built palaces, and the scale and decoration were as luxurious as possible. And the interests often change, repairing and dismantling, dismantling and repairing. Many craftsmen of all kinds hardly have a rest, lighting torches at night and working day and night, and when the weather is cold, they use hot water and mud to work non-stop. He also sent people to dig mountain rocks in the west mountain of Jinyang to build a huge Buddha statue, and the lighting oil used as many as 10,000 pots overnight, and the light shone directly into the palace. Whenever the country encounters natural disasters and man-made disasters, it never looks back on itself, finds the reason from itself, and just blindly holds fasting and Buddhist events, thinking that this is doing good. The queen likes to play the pipa, and also composed a tune called "Wu Worry", when playing, there are as many as 100 cronies and attendants who sing harmony. Therefore, the common people called him "the son of heaven". The latter lord also opened a poor village in the Hualin Garden of the royal garden, and he deliberately wore tattered clothes to beg for food and play in it. After the completion of the construction, he sent people to wear black clothes to imitate the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to attack, and he personally pulled out the battle and brought a group of eunuchs to play the city defense war.

Gao Wei, the queen of Qi, is an amorous seed, and when he likes his wife Mu, he tries his best to make a pearl skirt for her, so he does not hesitate to send diplomats abroad to purchase raw materials. Although Empress Mu, who wore a pearl skirt, was jeweled, after all, her color was declining and her love was relaxed, and she was favored by Feng Xiaolian, a pretty girl who was not "packaged".
As soon as Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian, a halfway couple who loved and loved each other, appeared on the stage, the Northern Qi world suddenly had a good show.
The latter lord is known as the "Son of Worry-free", playing the song of "No Sorrow", doing boring things, and even learning to be a lonely and helpless person - opening a poor children's village to learn beggars to play, which is even cheaper than Liu Yifu and Liu Ziye's learning to do small business. This generation of "sexual cowardice", even the face does not dare to be faced, it is as light as a feather, there is nothing left!

The right prime minister, Gao Anaqiu, said: "Everyone is having fun, and it is a common thing for the border counties to fight a small army, so why hurry to hear it!" The lord of Qi will return, and the concubine will be killed. The Lord obeys it.

(Emperor Chen Xuan's eighth year of Taijian) Gao Weizheng, the lord of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Feng Shufei hunted together in Tianchi, and the Northern Zhou army attacked Jinzhou, and the people who reported the emergency from Jinzhou had three full batches from early morning to noon. The right prime minister, Gao Anaqiu, said: "The emperor is happy, there are some guys on the border, it is a very common thing, where is the need to rush to report it!" At dusk, the messenger came again and reported: "Pingyang City has fallen." Gao Anahu reported to Gao Wei. Gao Wei was about to rush back, and Feng Shufei asked for another hunt. Cushman agreed to her request. The Northern Qi army besieged the city of Pingyang that fell in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and attacked non-stop day and night, and the situation of the defenders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was critical, and the towers and fortresses were all defeated. The remaining walls are only a few feet high. ... The Northern Qi soldiers dug tunnels to attack, the foundation collapsed, the city wall collapsed a few zhang wide, and the siege soldiers were about to take advantage of the momentum to rush in, but Gao Wei ordered a pause, so that Feng Shufei could come and watch. Feng Shufei didn't come soon because of her makeup. As a result, the Northern Zhou defenders had time to plug the gap with timber, and Binh Duong was ultimately unable to recover it.

"Jinyang has fallen into a retreat, and he asked the king to hunt around. ”
The Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's poem "Two Songs of Northern Qi" tells the glorious deeds of Feng Xiaolian and the Empress of Qi.
In fact, Feng Shufei's words are not completely unreasonable, and today's statement is very "forward-looking". A city, many living beings, since "has fallen", there is no need to bother, the land is vast, the mountains and rivers are vast, and it will not be lost in a day or two. Why don't you be famous for your horses, yellow dogs, goshawks, and then sweat and hunt him around?" "Have fun all the time, condense your life, call the king's good brother, and take my sister forward.
Gao Wei, the son of heaven, knows the mood of life very well, and when he sees a good scene, he always wants to appreciate it with his wife. Therefore, when the war to recover Pingyang was urgent, I did not forget to invite the beautiful woman to come and see the excitement. A life-and-death war has been played into a trick for people to admire, and the blood of countless soldiers has turned into the blush on the faces of beautiful women. Northern Qi is not dead, and there is no reason for this!
When Pingyang fell, Gao Wei and his wife were on the back of a hunting horse, and when Pingyang fell, Gao Wei and Feng Shufei were said to be tired of being in a red silk tent. Therefore, in Li Shangyin's "Two Songs of Northern Qi", there are two sentences that read: "The little pity jade body is horizontal Chen Night, and it has been reported that Zhou Shi has entered Jinyang!"
