Liang Wudi was a very miserable emperor, because his wife, children, younger brother and others betrayed him, which once made Xiao Yan accept incompetence. Coupled with the prevalence of Buddhism at that time, Xiao Yan became a monk directly, escaped into an empty net and became a Buddhist disciple. Another reason is that Xiao Yan attaches great importance to keeping in good health, so he often visits famous doctors all over the world and asks them to adjust their politics. At that time, a famous doctor said that he was too weak and had to ban women to recover slowly. Hearing this, Xiao Yan simply regarded it as a donkey to avoid these worldly things.

Liang Wudi was a very wise emperor in his early years. He is diligent in politics and cares about people's livelihood. In order to improve people's living standards, he promulgated a series of policies. However, Liang Wudi's harem and family practices made Liang Wudi very disappointed. First of all, his wife had an affair with someone else and gave birth to a child. Although Liang Wudi knew that the child was not his own, he raised him as his own and wanted to entrust him with an important task in the future. This shows that Liang Wudi is a very generous gentleman who doesn't care about personal gain or loss.

Despite Liang Wudi's generosity, they are still challenging Liang Wudi's bottom line. Liang Wudi's younger brother ignored ethical principles and had an affair with Liang Wudi's daughter, which is now an uncle and nephew relationship, which made Liang Wudi very angry. He simply put himself in the eye, even the majesty of the royal family has become a decoration, but in this case, Liang Wudi still chose to forgive. However, Liang Wudi's younger brother was ungrateful and committed the following crimes many times, which aroused public anger and made Liang Wudi very sad.

Secondly, there is a very important inducement, that is, my son betrayed himself and defected to Wei. Liang Wudi tried to persuade him many times without success, and even wanted to forgive his betrayal as long as he returned to his side. However, his son may be possessed by ghosts and ignore his existence, and still make waves in Wei. Liang Wudi has been betrayed by his family many times, and he is already disheartened. He felt that only Buddhism could eliminate the demons in his heart, so he converted to Buddhism.
