When Xiao Qidong of the Southern Dynasty was waiting for Xiao Baojuan to reign, he was absurd, wanton, and violent, spoiling eunuchs, and killing courtiers, resulting in corruption in the government and scattered people's hearts. The people of Wudi were in dire straits.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">01</h1>
At that time, Xiao Yan, who was the assassin of Yongzhou, took advantage of the chaos to support Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, and raised an army to attack Moling, and after the incident, he killed Xiao Baorong and established himself as king.
When Xiao Yan took over the Qi palace, he found a beauty who was a concubine of Xiao Baojuan. This beauty's name was Wu Jinghui, at that time she was already pregnant for a month, Xiao Yan because she had been fortunate to have Wu Jinghui, so Xiao Yan mistakenly thought that this child was his son when he was born. This child was Xiao Zong, and Xiao Yan gave him a nickname, called Yuanjue, and made him the King of Yuzhang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">02</h1>
By the time the child was a little older, there were already some rumors in the palace. The most terrible thing in the world is Ren Yan, because of the power struggle, Wu Jinghui, who was an old man of the former dynasty, and the old and decaying Wu Jinghui has deeply felt that the situation is not favorable to their mother and son, and at that time in the Southern Liang court, there was already a statement that Xiao Zong was not Xiao Yan's own child, but the widow of Xiao Baojuan of the former dynasty.
It is said that Xiao Zong's appearance is very similar to that of the former Eastern Dusk Waiting for Xiao Baojuan, and he inherited the flow of his biological father Xiao Baojuan. The Book of Wei records him: "The words of the sword are considerable, and the light and thin are like the style of the father." It shows that Xiao Baojuan's genes are still very powerful.
When Xiao Zong reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, it is said that his mother, Wu Jinghui, quietly told him the truth about his July birth. His own future is his own choice. After Xiao Zong learned the truth, the mother and son recalled the days under the fence and the endless bitterness of the road over the years, and the mother and son hugged their headaches and cried.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">03</h1>
Later, when Xiao Zong was away, he set up the Seven Temples of the Qi Clan for worship every New Year's Day, and then went to Qu'a to worship the Tomb of emperor Qi Ming. But even so, I still can't be very sure of my own origins, and I feel a little strange.
Later, he heard rumors that there was a way to verify whether it was biological, that is, to drip the blood of a living person on the bones of the deceased, and if the blood seeped into the bones of the deceased, it was biological, and vice versa.
So Xiao Zong quietly dug up the tomb of Xiao Baojuan in the East Dusk, dug out the bones, and tried it in this way, and sure enough, his own blood seeped into Xiao Baohuan's bones. He eventually thought he had the answer. Although we know that this method is not scientific, we cannot stop the rumors in the world and some people believe it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">04</h1>
After discovering the truth, Xiao Zong defected to the enemy state of Northern Wei and changed his name to Xiao Miao. He served his biological father Xiao Bao for three years. He was given the title of Prince of Danyang by Emperor Xiaoming of Northern Wei. Later, he married Princess Shouyang, the sister of Emperor Xiaozhuang of Northern Wei. Princess Shouyang was beautiful, and Xiao Zong respected the princess very much, and when talking to the princess, she often called herself a subordinate official. Later, encountering the scourge of the Erzhu River Yin Change, Xiao Zong fled north.
When Erzhu Shilong was in power, he captured Princess Shouyang, and Princess Shouyang preferred to die, loudly scolding her hu dog, daring to insult the daughter of the Heavenly King, angering Erzhu Shilong, and Princess Shouyang was executed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">05</h1>
Perhaps, Xiao Zong did not love Princess Shouyang at all, the days when he was sent to the fence in his childhood, the days of being cold-eyed, had already made him look down on the feelings of the world, what father-son love, the love of husband and wife are not reliable, his own tragic experience has already made himself cold-blooded and ruthless, he may only want to find a safe place to live, once he encounters danger, the first thing he thinks of is to protect himself.
Perhaps Xiao Zong was not Xiao Baojuan's widow at all, that is, Xiao Yan's own son, just premature birth, and then encountered the power struggle of the princes, the brothers fell on each other, Xiao Zong was Xiao Baojuan's rumor that someone deliberately did it, but people were afraid of words, and a person's life path was completely changed. This historical mystery may always be an unsolved mystery.
