[After Gao Cheng was killed by Lan Jing, his younger brother Gao Yang naturally took control of the military and political power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Wei Emperor Xiaojing Yuan Shanjian had no choice but to confer him the title of King of Qi.]
[In May of the following year, Gao Yang proclaimed himself emperor, named his country Qi, and changed the era name to Tianbao, which is known in history as Northern Qi.]
[In this way, Gao Yang became the first de facto emperor of Northern Qi, and posthumously conferred the title of emperor on his father Gao Huan.]
[Gao Yang was more diligent and cautious in the early days of his reign. After all, he had just become emperor and he had to make achievements.]
[During his reign, he defeated the Khitan and the Rouran, and expanded his territory to Huainan. However, in his later years, Gao Yang was a pure and licentious tyrant who ignored state affairs and indulged in wine and sex.]
[During Gao Yang's reign, he claimed that his elder brother Gao Cheng had molested his wife Li Zu'e, and he wanted revenge, so he raped his elder brother Gao Cheng's wife, Princess Feng Yi.]
[At the same time, after Gao Yang proclaimed himself emperor, he killed all the male members of the Eastern Wei royal family, and also arrested many women of the Eastern Wei royal family who had married into the Gao family, and had them collectively raped by his attendants.]
[Gao Yang was still watching from the sidelines, enjoying the performance.]
[When he was in the mood, he even went into battle naked, charging into battle with his men. ]
……
Three Kingdoms.
In the Wei army camp, Minister Wang Lang said with a defiant look on his face: "Tomorrow, before the two armies, I only need to give a few words to make Zhuge Liang surrender, and the Shu army will retreat without a fight."
Just when Wang Lang was full of confidence, he happened to see the absurd scene of Northern Qi in the sky. His face changed drastically and he was instantly furious: "Beast...beast..."
After saying this, he fainted.
at the same time.
Late Han Dynasty.
Liu, Guan and Zhang were eating melons with gusto.
"I never thought that rituals and music of later generations would collapse to such an extent." Liu Bei sighed, regretting that he failed to rebuild the Han Dynasty, which led to the collapse of rituals and music of later generations.
"Can such a person be the emperor?" Cao Cao was completely speechless.
If such a person can become emperor, it directly lowers the level of the emperor!
"It's all the Sima family's fault!" Cao Cao said bitterly. It was true that he liked someone else's wife, but he wasn't so cruel as to do that.
It is rare to find a family like the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty who disregards human ethics and is so licentious and immoral!
Especially when the emperor and his men go into battle naked... they are simply beasts!
Don’t you want the emperor’s pressure anymore?
Don’t care about the laws of the court?
Don’t you want the eternal foundation?
Don’t you care about your reputation in history?
Isn't this Chunchun having a big bubble in his brain?
Is this something a normal person can do?
Forget one, here comes another.
Cao Cao even suspected that the entire Gao family of Northern Qi had mental illness!
……
[Not only that, Gao Yang was so perverted that he enjoyed killing people for fun, and his temperament was unpredictable, so the ministers had no choice but to bring some death row prisoners into the palace for him to kill.]
[But Gao Yang killed so many people that there were not enough death row prisoners, so this madman would occasionally kill ministers or concubines by name in court.]
[In addition, Gao Yang was also a wife collector. He often visited ministers' homes. If the ministers' wives were good-looking, they might be raped by Gao Yang. For example, Gao Yang snatched the singing girl Xue from his uncle, Qinghe King Gao Yue's home, and made Xue his concubine.]
[Later, Gao Yang suspected that Xue had an affair with his uncle Gao Yue, so he poisoned Gao Yue to death with poisoned wine. However, he was still not satisfied, so he personally cut off Xue's head, hid the head on his body, and went to the ministers' homes for a banquet, scaring the ministers to death.]
【This is not the end.】
Gao Yang later dismembered Xue and took out her femur to make a pipa. He played it, drank, and cried. He kept lamenting that he had made a big mistake by killing a beautiful woman. He wondered where he could find such a beautiful woman in the future.
……
Cao Cao: "..."
"Absurd! It's simply ridiculous!"
Even Cao Cao, who was known for killing people without blinking an eye, was disgusted by Gao Yang's absurd behavior.
The things Gao Yang did were so perverted that even Boss Cao felt they were perverted!
This person is seriously ill. Isn't he a complete lunatic?
Not like a normal person at all!
……
[Gao Yang behaved like a madman, so much so that many people suspected that Gao Yang had taken too many fake elixirs, which led to heavy metal poisoning, so he was unconscious and behaved strangely.]
[In addition, Gao Yang was a pervert who liked to run naked in the court, and he didn't care about the opinions of the civil and military officials at all.]
[In addition to the above-mentioned outrageous events, Gao Yang also committed other crazy acts, such as beating his mother-in-law, shooting his eldest aunt's husband with an arrow, etc.] [I will not list all these absurd acts one by one, otherwise Emperor Gao Yang alone would have to talk about them for three days and three nights.]
……
Sima Yi: “…”
Sima Zhao: “…”
The Sima family, who were being taken to the execution ground and about to be beheaded, felt very aggrieved.
"Dad, you just broke an oath, and I just killed a king in the street. Is it necessary for the history books to scold us like this?"
Sima Zhao was unconvinced and said, "I think, compared to the Gao family, we are all gentlemen!"
"Alas..." Sima Yi looked at the gleaming white sword above his head and sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? But now that your future affairs have been exposed by Tianmu, it is of no use. I hope that from now on, people in the future will remember our Sima family and give us a good reputation..."
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
After what happened to the Gao family, even Zulong, who had always thought Hu Hai was absurd, felt that he was somewhat teachable.
But what he didn't notice was that Hu Hai, who was kneeling beside him, was looking at the sky with shining eyes.
From his curious eyes, we can tell that our studious Qin II seems to have learned some new tricks.
……
[In the end, Gao Yang died of excessive drinking or excessive sexual indulgence at the age of 34.]
[Before Gao Yang passed away, he entrusted his sixth brother Gao Yan to assist the crown prince Gao Yin in inheriting the throne, and Gao Yang's queen Li Zu'e also became the empress dowager. ]
[When Gao Yang's son Gao Yin ascended the throne, Gao Yan, as the emperor's uncle, held a high position and had great power, so he began to covet the throne. Finally, in the following year, Gao Yan launched a coup and deposed Gao Yin as the King of Jinan. Soon after, Gao Yin was killed by Gao Yan at the age of 17.]
[In fact, Gao Yin and his uncle Gao Yan were both good monarchs, but Gao Yan betrayed his brother's entrustment and murdered his nephew, which also made him criticized by the world. ]
[Gao Yan did not serve as emperor for long. He fell seriously ill after only two years and died despite medical treatment at the age of 27. Before his death, Gao Yan passed the throne to his ninth brother, Prince Changguang Gao Zhan, in order to save his son Gao Bainian's life and prevent his uncle from killing his nephew. Unfortunately, Gao Bainian was eventually killed by Gao Zhan.]
……
“It’s karma…”
Zhu Di sighed. Every time he saw this kind of content, he couldn't help but think of that little bastard Jianwen.
If he hadn't pushed himself so hard at the beginning, what happened later wouldn't have happened.
Fortunately, he did a good job as an emperor and made some achievements. His descendants in later generations at least remembered his good points and had a good opinion of him. Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to see his father in the underworld.
……
[Gao Yan killed his elder brother's son, and his younger brother Gao Zhan also killed his son. This is karma. I wonder if Gao Yan will regret entrusting the country to his younger brother Gao Zhan when he learns about this in the future.]
[What Gao Yan didn't know was that Gao Zhan was a famous tyrant in history. He was obsessed with beauty all day and didn't think about state affairs.]
[Gao Zhan even raped his sister-in-law Li Zu'e, the wife of his second brother Gao Yang.]
[Faced with Gao Zhan's coercion, Li Zu'e did not agree at first, so Gao Zhan threatened her with the life of Li Zu'e's youngest son Gao Shaode.]
[Li Zu'e had just lost her eldest son Gao Yin a year ago. For the safety of her youngest son, she had no choice but to commit adultery with Gao Zhan and let him do whatever he wanted to her.]
[Later, Li Zu'e became pregnant and gave birth to Gao Zhan's daughter, but the daughter died at birth. Gao Zhan thought that Li Zu'e had strangled his daughter to death, so he beat his youngest son Gao Shaode to death in front of her. Gao Zhan even beat Li Zu'e until she was covered in bruises.]
……
"Pity the hearts of parents in the world."
Liu Bei couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Li Zu'e wanted to save her youngest son, but she didn't realize that she was actually courting disaster and ended up with nothing.
But from a mother's perspective, we cannot say that Li Zu'e was wrong. She just wanted to protect her children.
Perhaps this is the fate of beauties in troubled times.
Unlike Liu Bei who sympathized with Li Zu'e's plight, Cao Cao was more concerned about how beautiful Li Zu'e was and how she could charm so many people in the Gao family and make them never forget her.
