People and Stories in Jin Dynasty and Southern and Northern Dynasties (1 13)- Gao Yang

Gao Yang (AD 526-AD 559), a Xianbei native named Hou Niyu, was originally from Guo County, Bohai Sea (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province), the second son of Gao Huan, the founding emperor of Northern Qi, the emperor of Qi SHEN WOO, the brother of Qi Wenxiang Gao Cheng, the brother of Qi, the brother of Qi and the mother of Lou Zhaojun.

In 535 A.D., Gao Yang paid a memorial to the general of a title of generals in ancient times. Later, he held a series of important positions, such as Zuo Servant Shooting and Shangshuling, and was highly valued by his brother Gao Cheng. After Gao Cheng was assassinated by Jing Lan in 549 AD, Gao Yang firmly grasped the political power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and was named Prime Minister and King of Qixian County by the Wei Emperor. In 550 AD, Yuan Shan, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was forced to see the Zen position, and became emperor, changed his title to Qi, and made his capital Ye, which was called Beiqi in history.

In the early days of Wen Xuandi Levin's rule, he began to reform the official system. He took the minister's advice and cut off the state and county organizational system. In this way, the number of officials in the country has been greatly reduced, corruption has also been reduced, and the burden on farmers has been greatly reduced. Gao Yang pursues the means of governing the country, such as promoting learning, persuading agriculture, seeking talents, amending criminal law and honoring ceremony. Numerous talents emerged during this period. He appointed a group of competent civil servants and military commanders. He can be promoted from old people, or appointed from small officials and poor scholars. BAIC became powerful in a short time. During this period, the agriculture, salt and iron industry and porcelain manufacturing industry in the Northern Qi Dynasty were quite developed.

Militarily, Gao Yang still preferred Su Weijun, an organization of Xianbei people in Jian Yong, called "Xianbei in Bai Bao", and chose brave Han people to expand the garrison, called "Warriors", making the newly established Northern Qi Dynasty the most powerful country at that time. Gao Yang also ordered the construction of the 4000-mile Great Wall in Beiqi, and set up 25 border towns, repeatedly defeating Rouran, Turkic, Khitan, Coral and Ru Ru, and Beiqi also defeated Nanliang. During the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai led an army to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty. Seeing that the army led by Gao Yang was well trained, he felt that he was not sure of winning, so he quit. During this period, Gao Yang did have the spirit of the Lord, and was called the hero of the Northern Qi Dynasty by Turk Khan, the leader of the British generation.

With the growing strength of the country, Gao Yang began to indulge in debauchery regardless of state affairs. He built a luxurious palace in the capital, Ye Jian, and used hundreds of civilian workers, which was extremely luxurious. At the same time, Gao Yang indulged in drinking and brutally killed people, and finally he died suddenly at the age of 34 in 559 AD. After Gao Yang's death, the ruling class in Northern Qi became more and more chaotic and was finally destroyed by Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The atrocities recorded in Historical Records of Levin;

Gao Yang was drunk once. In a rage, he said that he would marry his mother, Empress Lou, to the northern barbarians. His mother said angrily how she could have given birth to a son who was worse than an animal. Gao Yang is a little sober and wants to make her happy. He didn't expect to hurt his mother and whip himself when he woke up.

2. Gao Yang once loved Xue Yuan, a former geisha, but later he suspected that Xue Yuan was having an affair with King Qinghe, so he was jealous and ordered to commit suicide. Xue Yuan was pregnant at that time. After giving birth to the child, she was beheaded and dismembered, and her head was put in her sleeve. When he returned to the palace for a big banquet, he suddenly threw his head out, and the frightened guests scattered and took it out himself. When Xue Yuan was buried, Gao Yang walked behind the car with long hair and cried loudly.

3. Yuan Wei's imperial clan Yuan Shao was Gao Yang's brother-in-law, because he married Gao Yang's elder sister (Empress Yongxi of Northern Wei Dynasty). I once went to Gao Yang and asked him, "Why can the Han Dynasty be revived?" Yuan Shao said that because the new dynasty did not destroy all the Liu families in the Han Dynasty, it ordered the destruction of the Yuan and Wei families and leveled 25 imperial families in Dongping, such as Shidao. The remaining 19 were imprisoned, killed 72 1 person in Dongshi, and dumped their bodies in Zhangshui with the remaining 3,000 people. Yuan Shao starved to death after being imprisoned.

There is a pot and a saw on the golden bottle of Gaoyang. Whenever he is drunk, he must kill people to be happy. And he drinks from morning till night, so he kills people from morning till night. Gao Yang's niece Princess Le 'an (Gao Cheng's daughter) married the son of Cui Xian, the right servant of Shangshu. As soon as the princess returned to the palace, Gao Yang asked about her life. The princess replied, "My family respects me very much, but only my mother-in-law doesn't like me very much." At that time, Cui Xian died of illness. Gao Yang went directly to Cui Xian's home and asked Cui Xian's wife Li if she missed her dead husband. Li replied, "If you get married, how can you not miss it?" Hearing this, Gao Yang silently drew his sword and said, "Since I miss him, why don't we go with him?" Then he cut off Li's head with a knife.

Gao Yang's anecdotes and allusions

Cut a tangled jute with a sharp knife-take decisive and effective measures to solve a complex problem

When Gao Huan was the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he wanted to test the IQ of several sons, and gave each son a pile of hemp to arrange as soon as possible. The eldest son smoked slowly one by one, and the smoke became more and more chaotic. The youngest son divided the hemp in half and then separated it. Only Gao Yang took out a sharp knife, cut it a few times and cut it short. Gao Huan immediately to Gao Yang sit up and take notice.

Hundred-day prophecy

After the failure of Nanliang Rebellion, Hou Jing handed the decree to Zhao Sixian, the lieutenant, and asked him to give it to his subordinates. Seeing that Hou Jing had no hope of making a comeback, Zhao Sixian presented the imperial seal to Guo, the secretariat of the Northern Qi Dynasty, as a gift of refuge. Guo gave it to his immediate boss again, and after several twists and turns, the decree finally fell into his hand. One day, Gao Yang asked the ministers, "Tell me, why did Hou Jing get the imperial seal handed down from generation to generation, but still lose the throne of the son of heaven?"? Ministers were speechless. Gao Yang was tempted, and Hou Jing's two words were separated by "Little Man is the Son of Heaven for a Hundred Days", so his throne of the Son of Heaven rolled off the stage to sit hot. I calculated that he succeeded in usurping the throne from Wei Xinnian/KOLOC-0//KOLOC-0/9, and arrived in Shen Nian on March/KOLOC-0/9, which was/KOLOC-0/20 days in total, while Hou Jing was in March/KOLOC-0/Sunrise Palace, just in the palace. All the ministers admired SJMS in Gao Yang.
