Shocking dynasties in history: Why were the emperors of the Northern Qi all crazy?
Look at this family-the "royal disease" in the shadow of genes. I remember that in biology class in middle school, the teacher once said, 19, at the end of the 20th century, members of the European royal family liked to get married by close relatives. As a result, many princes and princesses suffer from hemophilia, so that people call this disease "royal disease". After hearing this interesting fact, we laughed at the Europeans at that time. We just didn't know it at the time. In fact, in the history of China, there was a "royal disease" in the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The "royal disease" in Northern Qi Dynasty is more terrible than hemophilia 100 times. People with this disease can disown their parents, and in serious cases, they will "put the righteousness above their family." This disease is what makes people feel sick-mental derangement! There were six emperors in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They are Emperor Gao Huan (posthumously awarded), Emperor Gao Cheng of Wen Xiang (posthumously awarded), Emperor Gao Yang of Wenxuan, Emperor Gao Yan of Xiao Zhao, Emperor Gao Zhan of Wucheng 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, others were all more or less mentally ill, and they were always able to do things worse than animals. Emperor Wen Xiang Gao Cheng (posthumously) became a pervert and 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, things in his youth were well carried forward by him. He often molested the wives and concubines of ministers around him, even cheated his relatives and even his sister-in-law, and married the wife of his brother Gao Yang. Gao Cheng's hobby makes the left and right miserable. Later, they staged a coup and killed the "sowing everywhere" emperor in Dongbaitang, Yecheng. After Gao Cheng's death, his younger brother Gao Yang acceded to the throne. Gao Yang had a statue of the emperor since he was a child, and everyone who knew him said that he had a Long Lin (psoriasis? ), feet have heavy heels (skeletal dysplasia? ), the future wealth is infinite. After Gao Yang succeeded to the throne, a few years ago, he was still a wise and decent SHEN WOO, but before long, he had a mental attack and became a madman with abnormal behavior. Crazy people are 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 Beiqi often meet a person in a busy street. Sometimes he shuttled through the streets in holiday costumes, and sometimes he ran back and forth in the cross street naked. Sometimes he drives rare animals such as llamas and white elephants, and sometimes he rides on the shoulders of his followers. In summer, he is exposed to the sun, and in winter, he streaks in the snowstorm to keep warm. One day, he was dancing in the street and 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 disdainfully, "You can't be the son of heaven no matter how stupid you are." 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 Beiqi. Although Gao Yang is crazy, he wakes up occasionally. For example, when an important official Cui died, he did not forget to pay his respects. In the mourning hall, Gao Yang expressed his condolences to Cui Jin's wife Li. He said to Li, "Cui Jin is dead. Do you miss him? " Lee said, "We have been married for many years, and we love each other deeply. We cannot but miss it. " Gao Yang praised, "You are really a loyal wife. If you miss him so much, you might as well meet him underground at once. Say that finish, drew a long sword, stabbed Li, abandoned his head and returned to the palace. Gao Yang can dispose of other people's wives at will, not to mention his own. He used to love Xue Jian so much that he listened to her. One day, Gao Yang suddenly remembered how beautiful Ai Xue was. She has a criminal record of adultery before, and there is no guarantee that she will do something with others in the future. So he took precautions, killed the beautiful woman for no reason, and then hid her head in his arms. At the subsequent court dinner, when everyone raised their glasses and bumped into each other, Levin grinned and threw his head on the table, and then shouted at his head, "It's a pity that there are fewer beautiful women. A room full of guests looked at the bloody scene, frightened and discolored, but Gao Yang cried more and more sadly, picked up his head and choked up. Gao Yang not only kills women, but also men. Wei Ziyao, the satrap of Jinyang, was stabbed to death by him when joking; Minister Han Zhe was innocent and was cut into three sections by a big saw; Yuan Ang, King of Le 'an, was shot by him with a bow and arrow for more than one hundred years and died because Gao Yang took a fancy to Yuan Ang's beautiful wife. It's not over after Gao Yang was killed. At least the body has to be further processed by him-either dismembered or burned. Gao Yang's biological mother couldn't stand it any longer and accused him of going too far. As a result, Gao Yang said angrily, "You old woman talk again, and I will marry you to the conference semifinals!" In the winter of 559 AD, the crazy emperor Gao Yang died because he was too drunk to eat. He is only thirty years old. After Gao Yang's death, the Northern Qi royal family experienced a series of bloody coups, and finally the throne fell to his younger brother Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan's abnormal behavior is very similar to that of Gao Cheng. Both of them are prostitutes' wives, and they are especially biased towards their relatives. As soon as he ascended the throne, he raped his sister-in-law, Li, his queen. Later, they married several concubines in Levin, showing the "deep friendship" between their brothers. Gao Zhan couldn't let go of his brother's wife, but he didn't like his nephews. They were all killed by 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 brilliant 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, was appointed as the secretariat of Dingzhou. Gao Chuo met a woman with a baby in her arms when she was traveling. Gao Chuo grabbed the baby and fed it to his German shepherd. The baby's mother cried and pulled 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. When Gao Qiu heard about it, he immediately asked Gao Qiu to go to Beijing. At that time, ministers thought that Gao Zhuo would be severely punished by law. Unexpectedly, when Gao Wei met Gao Zhuo, the first sentence was to ask Gao Zhuo: "What do you think is the most interesting thing in Dingzhou?" Gao Chuo suddenly felt refreshed and replied, "Put people in the scorpion pool and watch bliss." Gao Wei caught a bunch of scorpions that night after hearing about it. The next morning, Gao Wei poured the scorpion into the big basin, then threw a man in, stripped off his clothes, and only listened to the man rolling back and forth, his voice was piercing and the sound effect of the picture was very poor. Gao Wei turned to blame Gao Qiu and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a happy thing?" Of course, no matter how good the picture is, there will always be aesthetic fatigue. Gao Wei later fell in love with begging. He established a poor children's village in Hualin Garden and begged for food in his beggar's clothes. He is really happy and enjoys it. Gao Wei also likes to show the majesty of the emperor and never stints in conferring official positions, but the object of reward is not ministers but animals. The horses and eagle dogs in Beiqi Palace all have the titles of Yitong and Jun, such as Yitong in the red table (this is a horse), Jun in Xiaoyao (this is a cockfight) and Jun in the middle (this is an eagle). Compared with now, they at least enjoy the treatment of the main hall class. When Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty saw that the Emperor of the Northern Qi was 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, Gao Zheng and his concubine Feng Xiaolian were hunting in Qilian Lake. After receiving the urgent report, Feng Xiaolian, who was in a good mood, was greatly dissatisfied. He advised Gauguin not to give up halfway, and to finish hunting before rescuing. Gao Wei was convinced that the couple had been playing until sunset, and as a result, the military plane was delayed, which led to a passive 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 reign of Northern Qi was not long, but the emperors were all dissolute and cruel, and the tyrants and bad kings emerged in an endless stream with staggering density, which was called the "beast dynasty" in the history of China. And the maverick ruler in the "Beast Dynasty", except Gao Huan, no one can live past forty years old. History is so unpredictable that the short life of the Northern Qi Emperor may be a scourge.
