The great events of the world will be divided for a long time, and they will be united for a long time.
In the nearly 5,000 history of the Chinese nation's civilization, dynastic changes have changed unpredictably, including Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world, the Han and Tang dynasties, and the chaos of the Han and Tang dynasties, as well as the disputes between the three kingdoms, the two Jin dynasties, the southern and northern dynasties, and the regimes. The center of power makes people yearn for it, and it also makes people crazy.

Northern Qi was one of the Southern and Northern Dynasties that existed in the Central Plains of China from 550 to 577 AD, the Northern Qi royal surname Gao, originally a heavy subject of Eastern Wei, and later in the hands of Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang, he inherited the title and deposed the puppet emperor Xiaojing Emperor of Eastern Wei, officially taking the throne, with the state name Qi.
In this short period of less than thirty years, although the Gao family is a royal family, it has also staged a scene that makes people stagger the ethical entanglement. The founding emperor Gao Yang was only 31 years old at the time of his death, and he reigned for only 10 years.
On his deathbed, Gao Yang's eldest son, Gao Yin, the crown prince at the time, was only 17 years old. Although in ancient times, a 17-year-old man was no small age, but it was not a legitimate prime- age, and compared with his sixth uncle Gao Yan, both political experience and personal strength were far away.
This sixth uncle, Gao Yan, was Gao Yang's half-brother, and Gao Yang was 26 years old when he died, just in his prime. Moreover, this person has a deep and intelligent personality, is good at discovering the details of the incident, and in the process of participating in the government of the DYNASTY, his political experience is becoming more and more mature.
When Gao Yang was still on the throne, he was very fond of this younger brother and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities, which also made Gao Yan hold a high position and power, and monopolize the government.
When Gao Yang was dying, he called Gao Yang to his side and hoped that he would assist Emperor You. However, although the two brothers are ostensibly brothers and brothers, no one understands how tempting the throne is.
No matter how powerful the regent is, he is no happier than being an emperor himself. Gao Yang did not have much hope for how long his son could be emperor, that is, one to talk about, one to listen to. After explaining the major affairs of the country, we must also arrange the people around us.
At that time, Gao Yang's wife Empress Li was not yet 30 years old, and she was gorgeous and beautiful, and Gao Yang specifically instructed his brother to protect his sister-in-law Zhou Quan, and he almost did not say clearly, "You grab the throne, but this imperial sister-in-law you don't want to move."
How could Gao Yan, who had been in the official arena for 10 years, not understand Gao Yang's meaning, so in order to continue to maintain the situation of "brotherhood, brotherhood and brotherhood" before the death of the imperial brother, Gao Yan agreed to everything Gao Yang confessed.
Gao Yang guessed correctly, Gao Yan, who had power in his hands, did not have an honest time after Gao Yang's death, Gao Yang died in 559, and in 560, Gao Yan launched a coup d'état, deposed Gao Yin, changed to Yuan Huangjian, and officially ascended the emperor's throne.
To say that he was already an emperor, what kind of harem beauty he wanted could not get, but Gao Yan did not know what kind of psychology it was, and he was obsessed with the widowed imperial concubine Empress Li, and finally disregarded the ethical guidelines and forcibly possessed Empress Li.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a great change of heart and absurdity</h1>
To say that Gao Yang is really different from this Empress Li. This is different, not that Gao Yang only has this one lover.
China's ancient marriage system has always been a polygamous concubine, for the prosperity of people, economic ability is sufficient, before and after marrying the right wife, often take concubines, as the emperor Gao Yang, but also the harem is full, Gao Yang's lust and cruelty, in history are famous.
In the early days of gao yang's reign as emperor, he was still able to exert himself to govern with great efforts, and on the basis laid by his father Gao Huan and his eldest brother Gao Cheng, he governed the army strictly, governed the government cleanly, drove down with the law, and tried his best, and when he encountered war, he was also personally invincible.
Under this governance, Northern Qi's agriculture, handicrafts, and porcelain manufacturing industry developed rapidly, and soon became the richest and most powerful of the three states that stood on their feet at that time: Qi, Chen, and Western Wei.
Gao Yang, who achieved such achievements at a young age, could not escape the historical law of "three generations of wealth but not more than three generations". In the later years of his reign, like a completely changed man, he completely lay down on the previous credit book and slept.
Gao Yang began to blatantly indulge in wine, arrogant and lascivious, and ignored the government. Just a few days after the people had a good life, Gao Yang began to build a large number of buildings in order to satisfy his own enjoyment and desires.
Three palaces were built in the capital, well-designed and luxuriously decorated, from the groundbreaking to the completion, costing 100,000 people and the people complaining. Corrupt rule also led to the weakening of the military strength of the State of Qi, and the country's strength also took a sharp turn for the worse.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > weak water three thousand only take one scoop: only good for one person</h1>
The absurd things Gao Yang did in the harem were innumerable. As Gao Yang's mother, the empress dowager at that time was really worried, so she summoned Gao Yang to give him bitter advice.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yang felt that his mother's advice was mocking him, so he jumped up and beat his mother violently, and the palace people present were like wooden chickens.
When the matter came out of the palace, everyone in the world shook their heads and sighed, filial piety comes first, and the people really can't understand how this emperor can make such an unfilial move.
Even more shocking things are still to come, once Gao Yang was with Empress Li's mother and sister, I don't know why, Empress Li's mother offended Gao Yang.
Gao Yang sneered and said, "Yuan's biological mother has been beaten, but her mother-in-law has not yet been beaten, which is not fair", before he finished speaking, he got up and beat his mother-in-law again.
Gao Yang treats other women as if they were grass mustard, today can hold you up to heaven, get unlimited glory and favor, tomorrow can call you a small hell, to survive can not ask for death. In history, there are very few emperors who have been regarded by Shi Shu as "grass on people's lives", and Gao Yang is one of them.
It is such a Gao Yang, in front of Empress Li, but always respectful and consistent, not only in love with Empress Li's peerless beauty, but also in the basic respect between husband and wife, which is why Gao Yang wants to place Li well on his deathbed.
The cycle of fate is still the curse of fate
After Gao Yan inherited the unification, although he worked hard to reverse the dilapidated situation caused by Gao Yang to a certain extent, god did not seem to want to give this young man how long, less than two years after ascending the throne, Gao Yan could not afford to be ill.
History is always so strikingly similar, on the sickbed, Gao Yan found his ninth brother, who is also the ninth son of their mother' compatriot Gao Zhan.
Because he killed his nephew Gao Yin, Gao Yang's son, Gao Yan was worried that his son Gao Bainian would end up in the same fate, so he directly indicated to Gao Zhan that the throne was given to you, but you should not kill your nephew.
Gao Zhan was naturally loyal, but he did not wait for Gao Yan to be buried, and his son Gao Bainian also became a funeral.
Power distorts human nature, the throne distorts family affection, if people really have souls after death, I don't know what kind of face the Gao family brothers will face each other after they meet again.
