Shocking dynasties in history: Why were all the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty crazy?
This family, the Northern Qi royal family under the genetic shadow of "royal disease", remembers that in the biology class of middle school, the teacher once said that in the late 19th century and early 2th century, members of the European royal family liked to get married by close relatives. As a result, many princes and princesses suffered from hemophilia, so that people called this disease "royal disease". After hearing this interesting fact, we laughed at the Europeans at that time. It's just that we didn't know it at that time. In fact, in the history of China, there was a kind of "royal disease" in the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The "royal disease" in the Northern Qi Dynasty is 1 times more terrible than hemophilia. People who have this disease can deny their parents, and those who are serious will "put the righteousness above their family". This disease is what makes people feel sick-neuropathy! There were six emperors in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They were SHEN WOO Emperor Gao Huan (posthumously granted), Wenxiang Emperor Gao Cheng (posthumously granted), Wenxuan Emperor Gao Yang, Xiaozhao Emperor Gao Yan, Wucheng Emperor Gao Zhan and the late ruler Gao Wei. Among these emperors, except Gao Huan, who was basically normal and died in a hurry before Gao Yan showed any abnormality, several others were more or less mentally ill, and they were always able to do something worse than animals. Emperor Wen Xiang Gao Cheng (posthumously granted) became a pervert and became a teenager. At the age of fifteen, he hooked up with Gao Huan's concubine and gave his father a green hat. After Gao Cheng came to power, his boyhood affairs were well carried forward by him. He often dallied with the wives and concubines of the ministers around him, and even cheated on his relatives, even his sister-in-law, and took his brother Gao Yang's wife as his wife. Gao Cheng's hobby made the left and right miserable. Later, they staged a coup and killed the "sowing everywhere" emperor in Dongbaitang, Yecheng. After Gao Cheng died, his younger brother Gao Yang acceded to the throne. Gao Yang had an emperor statue since he was a child, and everyone who knew him said that he was wearing a Long Lin (psoriasis? ), the foot gives birth to a heavy heel (skeletal dysplasia? ), the future wealth is limitless. After Gao Yang ascended the throne, a few years ago, he was still a wise SHEN WOO, decent, but it didn't take long for him to have a mental attack and become a madman with abnormal behavior. A madman is terrible. What could be more terrible than a madman? The answer is: a mad emperor. After five years of natural forest protection, people in the capital of Northern Qi often meet a person in a busy street. Sometimes he shuttles through the streets in festive costumes, and sometimes he streaks back and forth in the cross street naked. Sometimes he drives rare animals, such as llama and white elephant, and sometimes he rides on the shoulders of his followers. In summer, he insolates himself in the sun, and in winter, he runs naked in the snowstorm to keep warm. One day, while dancing in the street, he suddenly asked the old woman watching the scene of bustle by the roadside: "What do you think of the son of heaven today?" The old woman replied dismissively, "You can't be a son of heaven if you are stupid." The man was furious and immediately killed the old woman in the street. It turned out that he was none other than Gao Yang, the real emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although Gao Yang was crazy, he occasionally woke up. For example, when Cui, an important official, died, he didn't forget to pay his respects. At the mourning hall, Gao Yang expressed condolences to Cui Jin's wife, Lee. He said to Lee, "Cui Jin is dead. Do you miss him?" Lee said: "We have been married for many years, and we are deeply attached to each other. We can't help but miss it." Gao Yang praised, "You are really a loyal wife. If you miss him so much, you might as well go underground to see him at once. Say that finish, Gao Yang drew a sword and stabbed Li, abandoned his head and went back to the palace. Gao Yang can dispose of other people's wives casually, not to mention his own. He used to love Xue Jian very much, and everything was obedient to her. One day, Gao Yang suddenly remembered that Xue Ai was so beautiful. She had a criminal record of adultery before, and there was no guarantee that she would do anything with others in the future. So he took precautions, killed the beauty for no reason, and then hid her head in his arms. At the court dinner that followed, just as everyone raised their glasses and bumped into each other, Gao Yangguai took out his head and threw it on the table with a smile, and then cried aloud at the head: "It's a pity that beautiful women are rare again." The full house of guests looked at the bloody scene with horror and discoloration, but Gao Yang cried more and more sadly, picked up his head and choked out. Gao Yang not only kills women, but also kills men. Wei Ziyao, the governor of Jinyang, was stabbed to death by him when he was joking; Han Zhe, the minister, was innocent and cut into three sections with a big saw; Yuan Ang, the king of Le 'an, was shot by him with a bow and arrow for more than a hundred years and died because Gao Yang took a fancy to Yuan Ang's beautiful wife. After Gao Yang's murder, it's not over yet. At least the body has to be further processed by him-it's either dismembered or burned. Gao Yang's biological mother couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him for what he had done too much. As a result, Gao Yang angrily said, "You old woman talk too much again, and I will marry you to the conference semifinals!" In the winter of 559 AD, the mad emperor Gao Yang died because he was addicted to alcohol and could not eat. He was only thirty years old. After Gao Yang's death, the Northern Qi royal family went through a series of bloody coups, and finally the throne fell into the hands of his younger brother Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan's abnormal behavior is very similar to Gao Cheng's. Both of them are prostitutes' wives, and they are especially biased towards their relatives. As soon as Gao Zhan acceded to the throne, he raped his sister-in-law, Li, the queen of Gao Yang. Later, he married several concubines in Gaoyang, showing the "deep friendship" between their brothers. Gao Zhan couldn't put it down for his brother's wives, but he didn't like his nephews, and all of them were beaten to death with sticks. In fact, to be fair, Gao Zhan's greatest contribution to the Northern Qi Dynasty was not incest and slaughter, but gave birth to a talented psychopath Gao Wei, who later became a master of Gao Zi's abnormal behavior. After Gao Wei acceded to the throne, his younger brother, Nanyang Aric Chuo, was the secretariat of Dingzhou. When Gao Chuo traveled, he met a woman with a baby in her arms. Gao Chuo grabbed the baby and fed it to his German shepherd. The baby's mother wailed and tugged at Gao Chuo. Gao Chuo was angered by this rude woman. He smeared the baby's blood on the woman, and the dog killed her alive. After Gao Wei heard about it, he immediately let Gao Chuo go to Beijing. At that time, ministers thought that Gao Zhuo would be severely punished by law. Unexpectedly, Gao Wei met Gao Zhuo, and the first sentence was to ask Gao Zhuo: "What do you think is the most fun in Dingzhou?" Gao Chuo suddenly felt refreshed and replied, "Put people in the scorpion pool and watch the bliss." After Gao Wei heard this, a bunch of scorpions were caught that night. The next morning, Gao Wei poured scorpions into the big tub, and then threw a man in, stripped naked, only to hear the man rolling back and forth, his voice piercing, and the sound effects of the picture were all poor. Gao Wei turned to blame Gao Chuo and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a pleasure?" Of course, no matter how good the picture is, there will always be aesthetic fatigue. Gao Wei later fell in love with begging. He set up a poor children's village in Hualin Garden and begged for food in his own beggar clothes. He actually had fun and enjoyed it. Cushman & Wakefield also likes to show the majesty of the emperor, and never stints in conferring official positions and titles, but the objects of reward are not ministers but animals. The horses and eagle dogs in Beiqi Palace all have titles of Yitong and Jun, such as Yitong in Chibiao (this is a horse), Jun in Xiaoyao (this is a cockfight), Jun in Lingxiao (this is an eagle) and so on. Compared with now, they at least enjoy the treatment of the main hall class. When Emperor Wudi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty saw that the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty were crazy, he had the opportunity to crusade. In 576 AD, Emperor Wu of Zhou personally led an army to attack Beiqi and surrounded Jinzhou. At this time, Gauguin was hunting with his concubine Feng Xiaolian in Qilian Lake. After receiving the urgent report, Feng Xiaolian, who was in a good mood, was greatly dissatisfied. He advised Gauguin not to do things by halves, and to finish hunting first and then rescue. Gao Wei was deeply convinced that the couple had been playing until sunset, and as a result, the military plane was delayed, which led to the passivity of the war situation. In the second year, Zhou Jun went straight ahead, conquered Jinyang, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and captured Gao Wei, ending the 28-year rule of the madman family in Shandong. The Northern Qi Dynasty did not rule for a long time, but the emperors were all dissolute and cruel, and tyrants and bad kings emerged one after another, with such a density that it was so astounding that it was known as the "beast dynasty" in the history of China. And the maverick rulers in the "beast dynasty", except Gao Huan, no one can live past forty years old. History is so unpredictable, and the short life of the emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty may be a scourge. The historical data of this article comes from Zi Zhi Tong Jian.
