Why did Gao Yan pass it on to his brother Gao Zhan?

The ancients were superstitious, and Gao Yan was no exception. They are very superstitious people. 56 1 year, when Gao Yan visited Jinyang, his younger brother Gao Zhan was in Yecheng. The fortune teller said that Yecheng had an emperor spirit, but he actually meant his younger brother Gao Zhan, but at that time he was mistaken for Yin Gao, the deposed emperor. Gao Yan was afraid of the restoration of his nephew Yin Gao, so he sent someone to give him poison to drink, but Yin Gao struggled desperately, so the soldiers strangled this 17-year-old waste emperor alive.

Shortly after the death of Emperor Yin Gao, Gao Yan died of a horse fall. Before he died, in order to save his son Gao Bai's life for a hundred years, he asked his younger brother Gao Zhan to inherit the throne and wrote a suicide note to Gao Zhan: "It is better to treat my wife as a benefit than as a scholar." It means telling my brother not to learn to kill his nephew himself. Thus, when the soothsayer said that Yecheng had the right spirit, he really meant Gao Zhan, not his nephew Yin Gao.
