The most savage emperor in history: Why is Gao Zhan in Northern Qi so cruel and dissolute?
At present, there are not many film and television dramas about BAIC, but few are really insulting. Let's talk about Gao Zhan, the emperor. In history, he was a famous heartless and heartless king who killed nephews and adulterers. He was extremely cruel, but he was washed "in vain" in film and television dramas! Closer to home, Gao Zhan and Wucheng Imperial Capital in the Northern Qi Dynasty are very handsome, but why does he have a snake heart? Two brothers and his wife were insulted by him and his son was killed by him. What's behind this? Let's take a look at Du, the editor of Five Thousand Years!

Words 56 1 year 1 1 month, Zhao Di Gao Yan, the filial son of Northern Qi Dynasty (that is, Gao Zhan's sixth brother) was seriously ill. Because his son was young, Gao Yan was worried that his Jiu Ge Gao Zhan would repeat the scene of seizing the throne, so he passed the throne directly to Jiu Ge. Before he died, Gao Yan specially wrote a note to his ninth brother, saying, "One hundred years (referring to Gao Yan's son) is innocent, so please deal with it happily and don't be a preschool child." But Gao Yan never imagined that what he entrusted was inhuman.

Before the bones were cold, Gao Zhan did a very excessive thing. When the funeral procession in Gao Yan was about to return to Yecheng, Gao Zhan heard that there was a magical medicine in Yuanshi County of Liusao, so he sent someone to ask for it, but the result was unsuccessful. Gao Zhan immediately became furious and sent eunuchs to drag Yuanshi County down from the car, grabbed her hair and humiliated her head. Three years later, it was the turn of Gao Yan's son, Gao Bainian. Gao Zhan personally tortured him and threw his body into the bare swimming pool.

Although he was cruel to his wife and children, Gao Zhan did not spare his wife and children. Gao Yang's wife, Li Zue, was born in a noble family and was very beautiful. As a result, Gao Zhan took a fancy to her. In terms of age, Li Zue is seven or eight years older than Gao Zhan, and in terms of qualifications, he is his second sister-in-law. However, despite this, Gao Zhan insisted on living with Li Zue, but Li Zue flatly refused. In a rage, Gao Zhan even threatened, "If I don't promise, I will kill your son." Li Aizi was so eager that she had to give in.

Later, Li Zue's son, Gao Shaode (that is, Gao Yang's second son), learned about it and was very angry. Li Zue was ashamed and drowned the child she gave birth to with Gao Zhan, which annoyed Gao Yan. Gao Zhan swears, "If you killed my daughter, why didn't I kill you!" , and then in front of Li Zue, Gao Shaode disorderly knife chop down to death. While Yu Nu is still alive, she will strip off her clothes and beat her up, and she will be bleeding and dying. Then put the plums in silk bags and throw them into the canal.

Gao Zhan's brutality is not just these two things, so why did he treat his two brothers' wives and children like this? Du, the editor of Five Thousand Years, believes that it is mainly based on the following three points:

First of all, the necessity of maintaining imperial power is well known. The succession to the throne in the Northern Qi Dynasty is not normal, and it has always been carried out in the form of "brothers", but after all, "the father died and the son succeeded" is a relatively normal succession. Therefore, from the legal point of view, both Gao Shaode and Gao Bainian are qualified to inherit the throne, and they have the advantage of age. Gao Zhan knows this very well. If we don't get rid of them, his son Gauguin will definitely be unstable in the future.

Second, a strong revenge. Although Gao Zhan, Gao Yang and Gao Yan are half-brothers, in the political arena, the relationship between the two sides has always been that of monarch and minister. During the reign of Gao Yang, Gao Zhan was beaten by Gao Yang, so he had a strong hatred. When he was in Heigaoshaode, he once scolded: "Your father didn't come to save me when he hit me!" Visible seeds of hatred have sprouted in Gao Zhan's heart.

As for the contradiction between Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, before Gao Yan proclaimed himself emperor, he promised to make Gao Zhan his younger brother, but later Gao Yan treacherously made him a prince for a hundred years and tried to weaken Gao Zhan's power. If it weren't for Gao Yan's one-year reign and his sudden death, Gao Zhan would have decided to send troops to rebel. Even if Zhan, who performed well, proclaimed himself emperor, it still could not eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Third, the mentality of the conference semifinals is serious. Although Gao Zhan's family are all Han surnames, and they also claim to be from Bohai Gao's family, which is a noble family in Hebei, their ancestors have lived in the north for a long time and have degenerated. Therefore, in Gao Zhan's view, it's no big deal to marry Li Zue or something. This is just a traditional custom of "widowhood", because Gao Zhan's eldest brother Gao Cheng once married his father's woman as a wing house.

In addition, from a genetic point of view, it is said that Gao Zhan's madness may have a genetic influence. After all, there are not many normal people in Gao Huan's descendants.
