Liu Bang, who destroyed Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty, is an emperor that everyone is very familiar with, but there are not many familiar friends about Liu Bang's posthumous titles and temple numbers. Maybe many friends will say, isn't it "Han Gaozu"? Then I told everyone, it really isn't. Because Sima Qian's "Records of History" wrote about Liu Bang's article called "Gao Zu Benji", posterity used to call Liu Bang "Han Gaozu". In fact, in history, after Liu Bang's death, the ministers gave him the title of "Emperor Gao" and the temple name was "Taizu", and Sima Qian gave these two names to "Unity", called "Gao Zu". Later, the title of Liu Bang in Ban Gu's Book of Han was formal, that is, "Emperor Gao".
So in history, in addition to Liu Bang, what other emperors are known as "Gao Emperor" ("Gao Emperor" is the abbreviation of "Gao Emperor", just as "WuDi" is the abbreviation of "Emperor Wu")?
After Liu Bang, the second "Gao Emperor" in history was Xiao Daocheng (427-482), the Qi Gao Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, who had a little relationship with Liu Bang - his ancestor was Xiao He, one of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty" and the founding minister of the Western Han Dynasty.
As a member of the famous first-class door valve (a famous family with political privileges) in history, the Lanling Xiao family (Lanling, now part of Linyi, Shandong), Xiao Dao grew up to be quite handsome, excellent temperament, quite loud, and extremely high IQ. During the first "dynasty" of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Song, Xiao Daocheng, who had studied literature and calligraphy since childhood, resolutely threw himself into writing. He made a northern expedition to the outside world, calmed down the internal turmoil, made many military achievements, and rose in his official ranks. After destroying the rebellion of The Prince Liu Xiufan, Xiao Daocheng became even more cattle, not only promoted to duke, mastered the Royal Janissaries, but also commanded the military of five states, and within a few years, he became the prime minister and fully grasped the military and political power of Liu Song!
Xiao Daocheng was officially proclaimed emperor of the Song Dynasty in 479 and changed the name of the country to "Qi". Although it is due to ambition, but can not all blame him, because the little emperor of Liu Song at that time, only 14 years old Liu Yu is really a bastard, this little demon is stubborn, love to kill, once saw Xiao Daocheng at home with a big belly nap, this child actually wanted to shoot him with a bow and arrow, thanks to the persuasion of others, Liu Yu replaced the metal arrow and shot it with a bone arrow, but this is painful enough! Xiao Daocheng couldn't bear it, and finally killed the little demon and set up another little emperor Liu Zhun, who was only 10 years old, as a puppet. Xiao Daocheng then destroyed all the political enemies who stood in the way, and then destroyed several old ministers loyal to Liu Song, first as the Duke of Qi, then as the King of Qi, and finally as the emperor. The puppet little emperor was also killed.
Xiao Daocheng died after only four years on the throne, at the age of 56. But he was the good emperor who was rare in the chaotic world, he cared about the suffering of the people, hated luxury, advocated frugality, led by example, and abolished liu song's policies that harmed the people. Moreover, before his death, he also told the prince to reuse talents and strictly prohibit extravagance.
Interestingly, those who are nicknamed "High Emperor" are still good emperors. Li Fu (889-943), the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, had the temple name "Liezu" and the title "Emperor Gao", but his nickname was longer, "Emperor Xiaogao of Guangwen Suwu".
Li Fu, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born at the bottom, his parents died since childhood, he wandered everywhere, and he also became a monk, but he had a big heart and a very high IQ. Thanks to the encounter with the fate of the nobleman, Li Fu was mixed up, and this person was Xu Wen, the number one official (and actual ruler) of Southern Wu, one of the Ten Kingdoms, who liked Li Fu very much and accepted him as his adopted son. After Xu Wen's death, Li Fu continued to hold the military and political power of Southern Wu. In 937, Li Fu officially called himself emperor, changed the name of the country to "Daqi", and three years later changed it to "Great Tang", which was called "Southern Tang". Yes, it is the "Southern Tang", one of the Ten Kingdoms that everyone is familiar with, and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu, who is known as the "Emperor of Words", is the grandson of this Li Fu.
During Li Fu's reign, he was very diligent and diligent, and the economy and culture of the Southern Tang were quite developed by him, and the people of the Southern Tang were richer than other countries. However, he was superstitious about the gods and immortals, and eventually ate the "elixir" to death, at the age of 56.
There are two "High Emperors" in history, and I will not introduce them more, because everyone must be too familiar with them, these two are Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Qing Taizu Nurhar - "Taizu" is their temple number, "Gao Emperor" is their nickname. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's title has always been "developed", and the more it develops, the more the word count will be, so the titles of Zhu Yuanzhang and Nurhaci, the two "high emperors", are simply exaggerated.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the "Kai Tianxing Dao Zhao ji li great saint Ren Wen Yi Wu Junde successful high emperor".
Nurhaci was the "Emperor Of the High Emperor of The Heavenly Guangyun Sacred Virtue Divine Gong Zhaoji Li Ji Ren Xiao Rui Wu Duan Yi Qin An Hongwen Dingye Gao".
