Brief Introduction of Emperors of Previous Dynasties - Southern Dynasty - Qi (Xiao Zhaoye)

Xiao Zhaoye (萧昭業) (473 – September 7, 494), courtesy name Yuanshang (元尚), was a native of Jiankang County, Danyang County (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province). The third emperor of the Southern Dynasty Qi, the grandson of Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu, the eldest son of Xiao Changmao the Prince of Wenhui, his mother was Empress Wen'an Wang Baoming.

Handsome in appearance, he likes to write books, and is crowned the king of Nan County. In the eleventh year of Yongming (493), he was crowned as the emperor's grandson. Emperor Wu ascended the throne after his death, with the era name Longchang. During his reign, he squandered recklessly, rewarded hundreds of thousands of dollars, and stored hundreds of millions of dollars in the treasury. The size of the government depended on xiao Luan, the general of the Zhen Army. Later, suspecting that Xiao Luan had different intentions, he attempted to release Xiao Luan to Xizhou and not to consult him again. Xiao Luan led troops into the palace to kill Xiao Zhaoye, and under the pretext of the empress dowager's order, he posthumously deposed Xiao Zhaoye as the King of Yulin.
