So today Xiaobian will talk about the wonderful life of Emperor Xiao Changmao of Southern Qi, let's take a look at it!
A brief biography of Emperor Xiao Changmao of Southern Qi
Early life
Xiao Changmao (萧長懋), courtesy name Yunqiao, was a native of Nanlanling (南蘭陵, in modern Northwestern Changzhou) in the Southern Dynasty, grandson of Emperor Xiao Daocheng of Qi, eldest son of Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu, and empress dowager Pei Huizhao of Wumu. Xiao Changmao's father, Xiao Zhao, was not yet twenty years old when he was born, and his grandfather, Emperor Xiao Daocheng of Qi, loved him very much. Xiao Changmao's posture is plump, and the small characters are called "Bai Ze".
In the last year of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, Xiao Changmao followed his father Xiao Zhao in yingzhou city, and when Xiao Zhao returned to the town to guard the city and resist Shen Youzhi's rebellion, he asked Xiao Changmao to comfort and receive the general, and let him participate in the army work. The imperial court made him secretary Lang, and he did not go to office. He was appointed as a general of the Auxiliary State and moved to the post of Chief of the Fu Army of king Fu of Jinxi.
After the Shen Youzhi incident subsided, Xiao Zhao ordered him to return to the capital, and Xiao Daocheng was on the occasion of the establishment of the hegemony, paying special attention to the descendants of the concubines, and said to Xiao Changmao: "When you come back, my affairs will be completed." "Arrange for him to live in Fudongzhai and let him have contact with the wenwu guests."
Xun Boyu was instructed to say, "When I traveled, the armies in the city were under the command of Xiao Changmao. Even when I was not traveling, the guards and armed forces inside and outside the city were often handed over to Xiao Changmao for dispatch. The imperial court appointed him as a secretary, and because this official name was homophonous with the name of his great-grandfather Xiao Chengzhi, he did not come to the post, and instead gave him the title of Zhongshu Lang and moved to Huangmen Shilang, but he did not accept it.
In the third year of Shengming (479), Xiao Daocheng was preparing to be made emperor, and Xiao Zhao had already returned to the Capital Division, because Xiangyang was a military town and did not want other families to command, so they let Xiao Changmao come out and appointed him as zhijie, dudu yong, Liang Erzhou and Yingzhou Jingling, Sizhou Sui county military, Zuo Zhonglang general, Ning Man lieutenant, Yongzhou Assassin Shi.
Capture Bai Nian
In the first year of Jianyuan (479), Xiao Daocheng was proclaimed emperor by Zen, and Xiao Changmao was made the king of NanJun, with 2,000 households. At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty had not yet been crowned as the king of the Emperor's grandson, and Xiao Changmao set a precedent and entered the general Zhengyu. Prior to this, Liang Prefecture assassinated Shi Fan Bainian to lure down the Jinshou fugitive Li Wunu to appease the thieves Yang Cheng and Su Daozi, which was very prestigious.
When the Shen Youzhi incident broke out, Fan Bainian sent his general Yin Guangzong to lead Wei Xing out of Wei Xing to support the Capital Division, and at the same time to watch the situation, after the incident subsided, the imperial court sent Wang Xuanmiao to replace Fan Bainian. Li Wunu persuaded Fan Bainian to occupy Hanzhong and not accept the order, Fan Bainian had not yet made up his mind, Wang Xuanmiao had already arrived, Fan Bainian hesitated in Weixing and did not want to come down, Xiao Changmao was worried that he was going to launch an incident, so he sent someone to persuade Fan Bainian and promised to suggest that he be the governor of the prefecture, Fan Bainian was stationed in Xiangyang, and Xiao Changmao killed him. In the second year of Jianyuan (480), Xiao Changmao was transferred to the post of general of shizhong and the Chinese army, and set up a general's palace to guard the stone.
Mother died
In the third year of Jianyuan (481), Xiao Changmao's mother, Crown Princess Pei Huizhao, died, and on the day of the ceremony of performing a dress (relatives of the deceased wearing certain mourning clothes), Emperor Qi Gao came out to mourn, and the imperial court discussed whether Xiao Changmao should come out to greet him. Wang Jian, the left servant, said: "According to the Book of Rites and Services, 'the wife, wife, and wife of the prince of the king' means that the monarch presided over the funeral of the three of them. Now the emperor came as the mourner, although in terms of things, it should be comforted, but from the point of view of righteousness, it should not be hung, and Xiao Changmao, the king of Nanjun, should not go out to greet him. But the gift of the supreme figure is also allowed to change, and it is enough to express feelings from the right to remove the staff and move it to the door to worship, and there is no need to cry in front of him. As for the crown prince Xiao Zhao, who was the lord of the first palace, he should naturally be presented in the palace according to the emperor and according to the usual etiquette. Since it belongs to the day of dressing, and the auspicious ceremonies cannot interfere with each other, they can act in decay (wrapped in a funeral scarf). And praying to stop crying, etc., can be carried out according to the routine. You don't have to hang yourself, but it is not wrong to be greeted only according to the convention, and it is not wrong to be polite. "Xiao Changmao was relieved of his duties as a waiter. The emperor considered that Xiao Changmao was ill due to grief and was not suitable to live in the stone barrier, so he asked him to move to Xizhou.
He was made crown prince
In the fourth year of Jianyuan (482), he was transferred to the post of envoy, governor of Southern Xu, Military Governor of Yan'er Prefecture, General of Zhengbei, and Assassin of Southern Xuzhou. In March of the same year, his grandfather Xiao Daocheng died, and his father Xiao Zhao took the throne, making Xiao Changmao crown prince.
At first, Xiao Daocheng liked "Zuo Shi Chunqiu" and asked Xiao Changmao to recite it sarcastically, which was passed on as a pretext. After Xiao Changmao became crown prince, he worked hard to establish his reputation, receive scribes, and raise warriors, and they all became close to him, and his virtues spread throughout the imperial court and various departments.
In the third year of Yongming (485), Xiao Changmao was explaining the "Filial Piety Classic" in the Chongzheng Hall, and the young Fu Wang Jian took some excerpts and asked the crown prince's servant Zhou Yu to write a righteous poem.
Talk about filial piety
In the winter of the fifth year of Yongming (487), Xiao Changmao came to Guoxue, personally advised the students, and asked the young Fu Wang Jian from his seat: "The Qu Li says 'there is no disrespect'. However, in detail, the subordinate should serve the superior according to etiquette, but the superior should treat the subordinate with kindness rather than respect. Isn't it too general to say that it is respectful now? Wang Jian said: "Zheng Xuan said that 'the lord of etiquette is respectful', it should be respected as if it were respected and humbled." Xiao Changmao said, "If this is possible, then Loyalty and Hui can also use a concept, and filial piety and ci do not have to be separated." Wang Jian said: "Honor and inferiority are hierarchical titles, not the same, and the names of love and respect are sometimes called together." And the difference between loyalty and favor is indeed as you said, as filial piety and kindness are a mutual relationship, I have a basis here. The "Rites" say that 'it is better to be overwhelmed than to be unkind and unfilial', and this is its meaning. Xiao Changmao said: "To serve the king on the basis of the principle of respect, and to serve the parents in accordance with the principle of love, to do both, it can only be one side to one." Now that it is said that the subordinates should be treated with respect, doesn't this give birth to a third meaning? Wang Jian said: "Serving the monarch in accordance with the principle of respect requires the subordinates to do their best, and the superiors treat the subordinates with respect, but they just ask him not to be contemptuous." ”
Xiao Changmao said: "The same is a 'respect', there is no difference in writing, but there are depths and shallowness in practice, which is puzzling. Wang Jian said: "Such a complex meaning cannot be expressed in a special text, but can only express the depth of it roughly." The "Biography" says, 'Do not forget to be respectful, and so is the Lord of the People'. The Book says, 'Think of filial piety first, and then think of Gong'. This is all clearly written in the classics and can be cross-referenced. Xiao Changmao went to ask Zhang Xu, the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, and Zhang Xu said, "I think that respect is the foundation of standing up, and whether it is respect or inferiority, it should be observed." Xiao Changmao said: "Although respect is the foundation of one's life, it is not the concept of treating subordinates. The Book of Shang says 'Hui Xian widows', why not say respectful widows? Zhang Xu said: "Now that we are speaking separately, there is a difference between Gong and Hui, and it was originally a unified expression, so everyone said so." Xiao Ziliang, the King of Jinling, said: "All the ceremonies are nothing more than an emphasis on respect, and I don't think there is any doubt." Xiao Changmao said: "I did not mean that there was any doubt, but I did this precisely to make the concept and the reality consistent and distinguish between the important and the important." ”
Xiao Ying, the king of Linchuan, said: "To first put forward the principle of respect is to affirm the principle of greatness, and respect and inferiority are issues of concrete implementation, so they are placed later, so there is no need to be affected because there is always a strategy." Xiao Changmao asked the students about this question again, and Xie Jiqing and eleven others all gave a pen answer.
Xiao Changmao asked Wang Jian, "The Zhou Yi Qiangua was originally intended to push the heavenly throne, but the Shuo gua said that 'the emperor was out of the 'Earthquake'. "Earthquake" is not originally a heaven, how can this mean be unified with each other? Wang Jian said: "'Qian' is the main health, 'Zhen' is active, and movement is the great virtue of heaven, so it is said that 'the emperor came out of 'Zhen'"." Xiao Changmao said: "Since heaven is virtuous by movement, then the monarch naturally embodies tiande and becomes his position, and the image of "Zhen" is thunder, is this the result of the manifestation of heavenly virtue? Wang Jian said: "The person who presides over the artifact is preferably the eldest son, so it echoes with "Zhen", and everything is from "Zhen", so it is also related to the emperor." ”
Wang Jian came to ask Xiao Changmao again, saying, "The Book of Filial Piety has the saying 'Zhongniju, Zengzi Shi'. Filial piety can be described as a profound thing, only the great sages can understand the mystery of it, why did Confucius not teach Yan Hui, but to Zeng Shan? Xiao Changmao said: "Although Zeng Shen is a virtuous body, but filial piety and service to his parents can fulfill their courtesy, the so-called throwing away things should start from a close place, there can be no barrier between the characters, and it is necessary to promote the teachings, and the meaning is also the same." Wang Jian said: "There can be no barrier to receiving leads, and although it is not difficult to carry out the propaganda, we have left the era of the saints more and more far away, and posterity has taken this matter very lightly." Since it is said that 'man can propagate the Tao', I am afraid that the Tao will be abandoned because of people's contempt. Xiao Changmao said, "Since reason exists, we cannot be dismissed by people, let alone let the talents of the middle talents carry forward the teachings of the Divine Spirit, how can there be a suspicion of congestion?" ”
Xiao Ying, the king of Linchuan, asked Xiao Changmao again: "Filial piety is the root of virtue, so I can't understand it, virtue exists in the universal goodness, and filial piety is due to nature, it is a natural attribute, will it be the accumulation of habits?" Xiao Changmao said, "It is precisely because filial piety is not due to accumulated habits that it can be used as the foundation of virtue." Xiao Ying said: "In the inadvertent, you can meet the filial piety, you don't need to understand the principle of virtue, the great filial piety can honor relatives, this means that there is all virtue, according to this, how can filial piety be a virtue?" Xiao Changmao said: "Filial piety has depth and depth, virtue has size, and to a certain extent filial piety has become the foundation, so why should you have doubts?" ”
Trial of prison cases
In the sixth year of Yongming (488), Emperor Wu of Qi prepared to try prisoners in the Danyang area and prison cases within two hundred miles of the north and south, and issued an edict saying: "The trial of prison lawsuits is very important work, and this is the primary issue of politicalization. The crown prince, who had reached the age of establishment and was the emperor's assistant, should be read in detail at any time, and the interrogation work was entrusted to him to make a decision by hand. So Xiao Changmao tried the prisoners of the three departments in the Xuanyou Hall of Xuanpu Garden, each with different degrees of leniency. In his later years, Emperor Qiwu liked to feast, and some of the work in Shangshu Province was also assigned to Xiao Changmao to deal with.
Violation of the system
Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang, the King of Jinling, were both good Buddhas and set up six disease halls to adopt the poor. Xiao Changmao has a very good charm, but he likes luxury and magnificence. The halls of his palace are exquisitely carved and beautiful, and there are more than the emperor's palaces. Expand the Xuanpu Garden and Taicheng North Graben, etc., the inner building of the tower, the strange stones everywhere, the wonderful landscape. Afraid of being seen by the imperial palace, he planted bamboo near the door, set up high barriers inside, and built hundreds of movable walls, installed skillfully, if you need obstacles, in the blink of an eye, you can cover up, if you need to withdraw, you can move away.
Good at making and doing rare things, using peacock wool to weave as a fur, brilliant golden green, far better than pheasant fur. Under the pretext that Emperor Ming of Jin had built Xichi when he was crown prince, he asked Emperor Qiwu to cite the precedent and open up the Dongtian Garden for him, and the emperor approved it. During the yongming year, the second palace was full of troops, and the prince drove the palace generals to take turns to participate in the construction of the building, so the Miyagi Garden Lane, the scale was grand, and the capital city came to see.
Although Emperor Qiwu had a strict personality and arranged eyes and ears everywhere, no one dared to report what Xiao Changmao had done. Later, Emperor Qiwu went to The House of King Yuzhang, and when he returned, he passed by Xiao Changmao's Dongtian, only to see that the buildings here were far away and magnificent, so Emperor Qiwu was furious and took the supervisor as the commander for examination, xiao Changmao was afraid, hid the relevant personnel and things, and was constantly accused by Emperor Qiwu from then on. Xiao Changmao was usually ill, but his body was too strong, and he often traveled arrogantly in the palace. The honor guard he engaged in often exceeded his duty, and although Emperor Qiwu's palace prohibition was close at hand, he did not know the truth in the end.
Death posthumously honored
In the tenth year of Yongming (492), Xiao Ling, the king of Yuzhang, died, and Xiao Changmao saw that Emperor Qiwu's brothers had arrived, so he built an inscription to play, but did not have time to engrave and erect it.
In the first month of the eleventh year of Yongming (493), Xiao Changmao fell ill, and Emperor Qiwu was very worried when he saw it. Xiao Changmao became seriously ill, and said to Emperor Wu of Qi: "Although erchen was a prince, he did not do enough in the three aspects of treating the king and the people, and he was not able to establish a demeanor in the guangyang Dao, so he was uneasy day and night, just like Linyuan. Unfortunately, my health has a problem, I am infected with disease, I am now bedridden, I can only wait for death, I cannot inherit the cause of my father and king, nor can I fulfill my filial piety, I am nostalgic for you, my father and king, my heart is sad and choked. However, I think that life and death are fixed, from the point of view of the reason, it is not enough to grieve, do not mourn for the children, defend the Eucharist, the country is eternally solid, although the children are in the Nine Springs, there are no regrets. Xiao Changmao died soon after, and he was Chinese New Year's Eve six years old.
Xiao Changmao had just passed the age of establishment, and he had been a reserve official for a long time, and he was able to participate in the government affairs, and all departments inside and outside the imperial court believed that he was about to inherit the throne, and his death shocked the government and the public. Emperor Wu of Qi came to the Eastern Palace, wept and mourned, and ordered xiao Changmao to be buried in a crown costume, with the title of Prince Wenhui, and buried in the Chong'an Mausoleum. Emperor Qiwu was walking in the Eastern Palace, and when he saw Xiao Changmao playing well in costume, he was furious and ordered the relevant departments to destroy or remove all the excessive things and change Dongtian into a ChongxuGuan. After his son Xiao Zhaoye the Prince of Yulin ascended the throne, he posthumously honored Xiao Changmao as Emperor Wen and gave him the temple title sejong.
What are the stories of Emperor Xiao Changmao of Southern Qi?
1. At the beginning, Xiao Changmao hated his cousin Xiao Luan very much in his heart, and secretly said to his brother Xiao Ziliang, the King of Jinling, "I especially don't like this guy in my heart, because he is a person with evil merit." Xiao Ziliang tried to save Xiao Luan. Later, Xiao Luan became emperor, and indeed he did a great deal of harm.
Revealed: What kind of person was Emperor Xiao Changmao of Southern Qi? How does history evaluate Xiao Changmao?
Xiao Changmao was born in Nanlanling (南蘭陵, in present-day northwestern Changzhou), the Prince of Southern Qi, who died at the age of 36 and was given the title Prince Wenhui. After Xiao Zhaoye ascended the throne, he posthumously honored Xiao Changmao as Emperor Wen and the temple name Sejong. So, how does history evaluate Xiao Changmao?
1. The Book of Southern Qi: "In the ancient world, the Father did not cry the Son. Shou Yu is leisurely, and Shang Is constant. Guan Fu Zheng Body Dong Chu, Fang Shu Nian De; Heavy Ji Leiye, Zai Mao Royal; The King of the Guardian Instrument, known to cultivate crops, although the gentle stationery is beautiful, the cross-handedness is prosperous, the martial fortune will end, the early stage will be lost, the young and the young are passed on, and the danger is turned upside down. In this regard, there are also numbers. ”
2, Southern Qi Xiao Changmao's life martial fortune Changlong, Jianyuan four years, set him up as the crown prince, unfortunately the life limit of thirty-six, died early, historical evaluation: this person is more humble, self-belief in the people's side failed to do the best, in their own aspects also failed to avoid disease, can not fulfill filial piety, self-knowledge is more thorough.

She was too strict with her second son, Xiao Ziliang's daughter-in-law Yuan Shi, and whenever Yuan made a mistake, she blamed it and never accommodated it.
In the second year of Shengming (478), Liu Zhun, the Shun Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, became the King of Qi, and the eldest son of the Pei clan, Xiao Zhao, was made the Prince of Qi, and the Pei clan was also promoted to princess of the world.

His grandfather Wang Shaozhi (王韶之官) was Wuxing Taishou (吴興太守); his father Wang Yezhi (王晔之) served as a dazai sacrificial liquor.

In the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (癸丑, 473 AD), Wang Baoming gave birth to Xiao Changmao's eldest son Xiao Zhaoye.
In the summer of the second year of the southern Song Dynasty (Jia Yin, 474 AD), Emperor Ming of Song's brother Liu Xiufan the Prince of Guiyang rebelled in Xunyang, and Xiao Daocheng was still a right guard general of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he led an army to suppress it.

In July of the same year, Wang Baoming's father-in-law Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu died, and Xiao Zhaoye succeeded to the throne as Emperor Of Southern Qi, and Xiao Changmao was posthumously honored as Emperor Wen. Wang Baoming was revered as the empress dowager and lived in Xuande Palace.
In the first year of Longchang, after Xiao Luan deposed the emperor, he moved to Xuande Palace. In the third year of Yongyuan (501), after Qi and Emperor Xiao Baorong ascended the throne, they returned to the palace to take the throne. After the establishment of the Southern Dynasty Liang, he lived outside the palace. Emperor Wu of Liang died in the eleventh year (512) at the age of fifty-eight, posthumously honored Empress Wen'an and buried herself in Chong'an Mausoleum.
2. Xu Gongren, a female of the Qi royal family of the Southern Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was Xiao Changmao's concubine and Xiao Zhaowen's mother.
Xiao Changmao was the crown prince of Xiao Zhao, emperor of Qiwu in the Southern Dynasty, who died early and was succeeded by Xiao Zhaoye, the emperor's grandson Xiao Zhaoye. Xu was Xiao Zhaoye's mother-in-law, and Xiao Changmao's wife was Xiao Zhaoye's biological mother, Wang Baoming. Xiao Changmao did not ascend the throne during his lifetime, so Xu shi was called Ji or Gongren during her husband's lifetime.
In 494, Xiao Zhaoye's cousin Xiao Luanxian deposed Xiao Zhaoye and established Xiao Zhaowen as emperor and took power. Not only did Xiao Zhaowen have no political power, but even his life was strictly controlled, and his mother Xu Shi did not have a title. Soon, Xiao Luan deposed Xiao Zhaowen, established himself as emperor, and killed Xiao Zhaoye and Xiao Zhaowen's brothers. There is no more record of The Xu clan.
Who were the sons of Emperor Xiao Changmao of Southern Qi?
1. Xiao Zhaoye (萧昭業), courtesy name Yuanshang (字元尚), courtesy name Fashen,grandson of Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu, eldest son of Xiao Changmao (懋), prince of Wenhui, mother wang Baoming (posthumously honored as Empress Wen'an), the third emperor of Southern Qi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Biography: Xiao Zhaoye, the King of Yulin, was born in 473 as the grandson of Emperor Wu and the first son of prince Wenhui, who died early, and Prince Wenhui died before he ascended the throne, so Emperor Wu made Xiao Zhaoye the prince of Yulin the emperor's grandson, and after his death Xiao Zhaoye ascended the throne and became the third ruler of Southern Qi. However, he reigned for only one year, and was finally killed by Xiao Luan, and where he was buried is unknown to the world.
Xiao Zhaoye, the king of Yulin, held a rite of passage at the age of fifteen and was given two teachers, and in 489 Emperor Wu had already treated him more than all the princes. After his father's death, he was made the emperor's grandson, and in 493 he successfully ascended the throne, and made Xiao Ye the King of Wuling his general, while Xiao Luan of Xichang was given the title of Shangshu Ling. But Xiao Zhaoye was not a good emperor, he was very beautiful when he was young, and he liked lishu, and his demeanor was very appreciated by people, but after inheriting the throne, it began to change.
After Xiao Zhaoye became emperor, he squandered it at will, always rewarding others indifferently, even if it was millions, he didn't care, and even let his own money be spent at will, and the jade treasures were used for fun, and in less than a year, all the money accumulated by Emperor Qiwu was spent. At that time, the government also became very chaotic, originally Zhongshu Sheren and the general and other people were his confidants, Xiao Luan had reminded and persuaded Xiao Zhaoye many times, but Xiao Zhaoye did not care, so Xiao Luan killed many officials who misled Xiao Zhaoye, Xiao Zhaoye suspected that Xiao Luan wanted to usurp power, so he transferred him to a place far away from himself, and finally Xiao Luan killed Xiao Zhaoye in 494.
2. Xiao Zhaowen was the second son of Xiao Changmao, the Prince of Wenhui, who served as the Taishou of Jiyang, the Assassin of Southern YuZhou, and the Assassin of Yangzhou.
In July of the first year of Longchang (494), Xiao Luan, the Marquis of Xichang, deposed Emperor Xiao Zhaoye and proposed to appoint Xiao Zhaoye's younger brother Xiao Zhaowen the Prince of Xin'an, so that Xiao Zhaowen, who was only 15 years old, was welcomed into the palace, held a enthronement ceremony, and became a puppet emperor. Immediately after taking the throne, a general amnesty was announced and the yuan was changed to Yanxing.
Since being promoted to the position of emperor, Xiao Luan assisted the government, eating, living, and living every move must be consulted first, and no freedom was allowed. He once wanted to eat steamed fish dishes, but the taiguan ling replied that he did not get the order of the Duke of Lu (Xiao Luan Lu recorded Shangshu Shi, so it was called), and could not do it. The poor little emperor had no choice but to sigh to himself.
In October of that year, Xiao Zhaowen, who had only been emperor for a few months, was forced to abdicate, and Xiao Luan justifiably ascended the emperor's throne.
After Xiao Zhaowen abdicated, he was demoted to the title of King of Hailing. Xiao Luan issued an edict asking the King of Hailing to give generous offerings to Liu Jiang, the King of the Eastern Seas of the Han Dynasty, to give generous offerings to The Tiger Ben, the Head, and the Paint Wheel. In November, Xiao Luan lied that Xiao Zhaowen was ill, frequently sent imperial doctors to see him, and took the opportunity to poison xiao Zhaowen and kill him.
After Xiao Zhaowen's death, Xiao Luan held a funeral for him in accordance with the story of Liu Jiang, the prince of The Eastern Han Dynasty. Nicknamed "King Gong".

His elder brother Xiao Zhaoye, the King of Yulin, took the throne and was created the King of Linhai. In the first month of the first year of Longchang (494), he served as the Assassin of Jingzhou. In the first year of Yanxing (494), his second brother Xiao Zhaowen the Prince of Hailing ascended the throne, serving as a cavalry general and garrisoning Kyoto, and replacing him with his younger brother Xiao Zhaoyue the Prince of Yongjia.

In the eleventh year of Yongming (493), Xiao Zhaoyue's brother Xiao Zhaoye the Prince of Yulin ascended the throne, was made the Prince of Yongjia, and served as the Assassin of Southern Xuzhou, and after the second brother Xiao Zhaowen the Prince of Hailing ascended the throne, the third brother Xiao Zhaoxiu was transferred to Kyoto, and Zhaoyue took over as the Assassin of Jingzhou.

Expanded Information: Introduction to the Southern Qi of the Southern and Northern Dynasties
Southern Qi (479–502) was the second dynasty of the Southern Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The founding emperor Xiao Daocheng served as a general in the Right Army during the reign of Emperor Ming of Song. After the death of Emperor Ming of Song, he and Shangshu Ling Yuan Yue jointly took charge of the imperial government.
In 474, Xiao Daocheng quelled the rebellion of Liu Xiufan, the prince of Guiyang in Jiangzhou, and became a duke, a leading general in Qianzhong, who took control of the Janissaries and oversaw the military of the five prefectures. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was fiercely fighting, and Xiao Daocheng gradually took power.
In 477, Xiao Daocheng deposed Emperor Liu Yu and installed his younger brother Liu Zhun to succeed him. Xiao Daocheng was crowned King of Qi. After this, Xiao Daocheng eliminated Yuan Yue, Shen Youzhi, and others who were loyal to Song.
In 479, Xiao Daocheng forced the Song Shun Emperor Liu Zhunchan to take the throne, establish himself as emperor, establish Southern Qi, and set the capital Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province). The name of the country is derived from the saying of Wei Wei. There is a folk song cloud: "The golden knife and sharp blade are cut together", which means that "Qi" will replace "Song".
In 502, Emperor Qi and Emperor He were forced to take the throne from the general Xiao Yan. Southern Qi collapsed, and Southern Qi was the shortest-lived of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, with only twenty-four years.
