"Monk Emperor" Liang Wudi Xiao Yan, how could he starve to death in the palace?

Who was the first monk emperor in China? When it comes to the monk emperor, many people will think of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but when it comes to the first monk emperor in China, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be on the list. The first monk emperor in China was Xiao Yan in Liang Wudi, and the first monk emperor in China was Xiao Yan in Liang Wudi. He became a monk in Tongtai Temple four times and gave his life. However, the Buddhist emperor eventually starved to death in his palace.

Liang Wudi gave his life three times in 527, 529 and 547. The first time I gave my life was 4 days, and the last time was 37 days. And every time, the court redeemed it with a large sum of money. This temple gained considerable income because of Liang Wudi, the first monk emperor in China. Buddhism flourished in the Liang Dynasty when he was in power. At that time, there were more than 500 Buddhist temples inside and outside Jiankang City, with 65438+ 10,000 monks and nuns. In 504 AD, China's first monk, Emperor ZSZSZSZ, personally led 20,000 monks and nuns in Chongyun Pavilion in Chongyun Hall, and wrote "Abandoning Taoism and Walking Buddhist Scriptures".

Liang Wudi, the first monk emperor in China, devoted himself to Buddhism, neglected state affairs and intensified social contradictions. Liang Wudi, the first monk emperor in China, had no children in his early years, and his adopted son became an heir. Later, Liang Wudi gave birth to a son named Xiao Tong, who was immediately made a prince, while his nephew Xiao was renamed Xifeng Hou. This makes Xiao indignant. At this moment, Hou Jing, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, took refuge in the Liang Dynasty because of his disagreement with his political opponent Gao Huan, and Liang Wudi made him the king of Yu.

Hou Jing is insidious and treacherous. Seeing that there were many contradictions within the royal family, he thought there was an opportunity, so he colluded with Xiao to launch a coup and promised to make Xiao Zhengde emperor when it was done. Finally, the rebels invaded Jiankang City, trapped Miyagi, and then led Wuhu to Manmia.

Liang Wudi, the first monk emperor in China, was trapped in the palace. Nothing can be done. Nobody asked him. China's first monk emperor finally starved to death in his palace. Coincidentally, the mirror of unofficial history in China also recorded: "In March of the third year of Taiqing (AD 549), Hou Jing captured Miyagi. Xiao Yan's diet was cut off, and his mouth was bitter. He even shouted, "Dear! Dear. " Finally, he starved to death in Ju Jing Hall at the age of 86. Xiao Zhengde didn't become emperor in the end, but he was killed by Hou Jing after it was done.
