Ancient people not only married early, in fact, matured early, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, there was a country named Northern Qi, in the Wucheng Emperor period, there was a powerful minister who was only thirteen years old, but he was already in power.
As we all know, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were sixteen countries that were not harmonious with each other, and it was a time of war and chaos, which may have prompted people to become more precocious, but it was rare for teenagers to enter the DYNASTY as officials or high officials.
Ask yourself, what were we doing as teenagers? Almost ninety-nine percent of people, are in school and study, every day upwards, to lay a good foundation for entering the society, adults can find a good job, if precocious, may be curious about the opposite sex, and then make some strange moves, but it should be nothing more.
However, the King of Northern Qi, Gao Yu, was not like this, but he had a lot of achievements at a young age, although he was the third son of Emperor Wucheng and a relative of the imperial family, it did not mean that he only relied on relationships to ascend to the throne.
From a young age, Gao Yu showed a talent for intelligence, so his father was very fond of him, although he was not the eldest son, and generally could not inherit the throne. But perhaps Emperor Wucheng wanted to train him to assist his brother Gao Wei, so he was strictly educated, so that he could handle certain government affairs at a young age.
During the reign of Emperor Wucheng, he made Gao Yu the governor of Kaifu, Shizhong, Zhongshujian, and Gyeonggi. Later, Emperor Wucheng discovered that Gao Yu loved to hunt, was good at riding and shooting bravery, and was quite courageous, so he re-appointed leading generals, imperial history Zhongcheng, Qian Situ, and great generals, although these military positions did have an element of inflated heights.
Before Emperor Wucheng died, he once again rewarded Gao Yu and ordered Him to be appointed Shangshu and Grand Sima (大司馬), and for a time it could be said that his power was tilted toward the opposition, except that he was not an emperor, and he could rank first among the hundred officials of Wen and Wu. Moreover, Emperor Wucheng had just died, and his brother Gao Wei had not yet officially ascended the throne.
But Cheng was also like this, and so was the defeat, Gao Yu was not the emperor after all, when Emperor Wucheng died, he ordered and Shikai to assist Gao Wei, and Heshikai had an extremely heavy position in the heart of Emperor Wucheng, ranking first among the hundred officials.
After the death of Emperor Wucheng, HeShikai was still highly valued, and was a close confidant of Gao Wei and Empress Hu. But HeShikai was actually a courtier, superficially one set inside and one set, and had little ability, and would only flatter him.
At the same time, He Shikai had an opinion in his heart about Gao Wei's brother Gao Yu. Because although Gao Yu was young, he was upright as an official, clearly distinguished between public and private affairs, and hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and held power in his hands, which became an obstacle to Heshikai.
Although Gao Wei was the successor to the throne, he was more greedy for pleasure than his father, Emperor Wucheng, who was absurd and unscrupulous, and did not manage political affairs, but would only do some things that were built in a big way and hurt the people and money.
And because the Wucheng Emperor was heavy on Gao Yu, the treatment of the two brothers was almost the same, even when the chancellor worshiped, he also let Gao Yu sit next to him, and the two also competed for the throne, although Emperor Wucheng finally listened to he Shikai's words, and finally passed the throne to the eldest son Gao Wei, but the two also formed a vendetta.
As a result, it can be imagined that after Gao Wei succeeded to the throne, he and Shi Kai continued to spread rumors every day, provoking dissension between the two brothers. Saying that gao is in a high position of power and has military power, in case he has evil intentions, but he does not know how to be good?
When Gao Wei heard this, he thought that this was indeed the case, so he cut Gao Yu's official position and asked him to move out of the palace. And Gao Yu could not swallow this breath, plus he had long been to He Shikai, Lu Lingxuan, Gao Ana, etc., a group of treacherous people, had long had the idea of getting rid of it, and this time made Gao Yu make up his mind.
So Gao Yu and his uncle Feng Ziqun combined to pull out a forbidden army of several thousand people, lure out Heshikai and beheaded. Originally, Gao Yu only wanted to kill Heshikai, and did not dare to make a big deal out of it, thinking of getting rid of the traitors step by step.
However, Gao Yu's subordinates suggested: "Your Highness, after all, this matter is monopoly power, private use of military power, and the court is in charge of the courtiers, why not put them in a pot to avoid future troubles?" ”
So Gao Yu took the garrison, more than 3,000 people stationed at Qianqiu Gate, and then Gao Wei sent Liu Taozhi to confront him, and there was a dispute between the two sides, Gao Yu argued on the basis of reason, and Gao Wei could not do anything with him.
Gao Wei could only order the great general Huo Luguang to escort him, in fact, he wanted to capture Gao Yu, but although Huo Luguang was related to Gao Wei, he was an official and upright, and valued Gao Yu's benevolence, so he did not agree to this matter. He also advised Gao Wei to say, "Your Highness, after all, it is your brother, just deal with it as a joke!" What more is the capital offense? ”
Gao Wei saw that this matter could not be done, and finally spared Gao Yu's guilt, but the people around him were either executed or exiled, so that Gao Yu lost his position in the DPRK.
And knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Empress Hu knew Gao Wei and would not easily let go of her brother, so she summoned her young son Gao Yu into the palace and lived with her, so that Gao Wei could not find the opportunity to harm.
After the matter was diluted, most people were about to forget that Gao Wei invited his brother to hunt with him. However, Empress Hu could not imagine that Gao Wei would be so deliberate, and believed that although the two had a vendetta, they were brothers after all, so they agreed to this matter.
Although Gao Yu's invitation to his brother was suspicious in his heart, after Empress Hu agreed, it was difficult to refuse, and he had no choice but to leave Empress Hu's territory, but he did not want to be killed before he left the palace, and finally failed to escape the disaster.
It is a great pity that Gao Yu has been loved by thousands of people since he was born, and his talent is stronger than Gao Wei,but the Destiny is not in him after all, and he has not been cared for by God to the end. After becoming famous at a young age, he died at the hands of Gao Wei at the age of fourteen.
What is heartbreaking is that Gao Yu's four widows were imprisoned by Gao Wei until death after birth, and eventually did not leave any descendants.
