Gao Yan, the character Yan'an, the sixth son of Gao Huan, is also Gao Yang's half-brother. "Young and indie, there is already a large amount of success." As an adult, he was "eight feet long, with a belt ten around him, and he looked at the wind watch, which was very unique."

Gao Yang was angry for the emperor, and Gao Yan often "expressed his anger in his looks". Gao Yang also knew that this imperial brother was loyal, so he said, "But if you are here, can I not rest assured that I will indulge in pleasure?" Even so, under the guidance of several, Gao Yang was also angry. Once, Gao Yang was drunk and rewarded Several beautiful women from the former Eastern Wei Palace to Gao Yan. The next day, Gao Yangjiu woke up and did not remember the past events, believing that Gao Yan was "unauthorized", and ordered the guards to use a large iron knife to knock Gao Yan indiscriminately, almost knocking the Changshan King to death.
After the young lord Gao Yin succeeded to the throne, the Han chancellor Yang Yan and others wanted to seize the military power of Gao Yan and his brother Gao Zhan, the King of Changguang, and the two preemptively attacked and killed Yang Yan's people with the support of Empress Lou. In September 560, Empress Lou ordered Gao Yan to succeed to the throne and change the name to Emperor Yuan. The young lord Gao Yin was deposed as the king of Jinan. Empress Lou was not at ease, and after the enthronement ceremony, she also instructed her son to perform a high performance: "Don't let anything happen to the king of Jinan!" It means that Gao Yan is forbidden to kill his nephew.
Gao Yan Mingjun, "when he is in a big position, he knows everything, chooses his orders, and examines the truth of the name", abolishes Gao Yang's maladministration, plus he is less in a big position, Ming Xi is a bureaucrat, diligent and sincere, not drunk, not lustful, and is actually the best king of Gao Qi. In addition, Gao Yan is also a person of extreme filial piety, Empress Lou suffered from heartache, he did not wear clothes for dozens of days, served in front of him day and night, personally fried medicine and tasted medicine, and did his best filial piety. "Fraternity and brothers, no separation between kings and subjects." At the same time, Gao Yan is also "determined by his male schemes", and when his country is rich and the people are strong, he will want to compete with the Yuwen clan to complete the unfinished business of his father Gao Huan's life.
One of the biggest mistakes in Gao Yan's life was to kill his nephew Gao Yin. When Gao Yan was touring Jinyang, his brother Gao Zhan was in Yecheng. Some fortune tellers say that Yecheng has the qi of heaven. The ancients were superstitious, and Gao Yan was no exception, fearing that his nephew Gao Yin would be supported and restored, so he sent someone to bring poison to his nephew to drink. Gao Yin struggled, and the soldier strangled the young lord to death.
For this reason, gao yan often "regretted" afterwards. After doing this, Gao Yan often had a trance, and in the Jinyang Palace, he often "saw" his brother Emperor Gao Yang and Yang Yan and others to come and go, and the ghosts hated and threatened to take revenge. Tormented by these hallucinations, Gao Yan's health became worse and worse, and he "gradually became dangerous". Therefore, he also asked the shaman to "prepare for the things that are disgusting, or boil the oil and sprinkle it around, or burn it with torches", but all to no avail. Between the illusions, Gao Yan could still "see" his brother Gao Yang and yang Yan, Yan Zixian, and others who had been killed by him riding on top of the liang dong of the palace, spitting out their tongues and glaring at him, making a big "ghost" face.
Because of the eclipse of the astronomy, commonly known as the tengu eclipse of the sun, the superstitious gao yan strong support for the sick body, leading the army in the school field to "talk about martial arts to get tired of it", wanting to use the bow and archery to practice slashing and killing each other thinking that it was "tired of winning". Halfway through, a hare ran in the grass, startling its mount, and it was planted on a high end, and its ribs were fractured. In ancient times, rib fractures were fatal, and perhaps stubble would bruise the lungs or other organs, and internal infections would soon lead to a state of death.

When Empress Lou visited her illness, she suddenly remembered that she had not seen her grandson Gao Yin for many days, so she asked Gao Yan, "Where is the King of Jinan?"
Gao Yan was ashamed and did not answer.
The old lady asked several times, and when she saw her son turn his face, he did not answer, and he already understood in his heart. She yelled angrily, "You killed that kid?" If you don't listen to me, you deserve to die!" After finishing her words, Empress Lou got up and flicked her sleeves and came out.
Gao Yan was dying, hallucinating continuously, and had been kneeling on the bed, prostrating his head and begging for mercy, presumably begging for forgiveness from the ghosts of Gao Yang and others in his imagination. At the end of 561, Gao Yan fell ill and died at the age of twenty-seven. Before his death, he sent envoys to summon his half-brother Gao Zhan, the King of Changguang, to succeed him, and personally wrote down the number: "It is advisable to put my wife for an advantage, and not to learn from her predecessors." It means to tell his brother not to learn to kill his nephew himself.
