He used to be an official in Nanqi. In the second year of the revival of the Southern Qi Dynasty (502), Qi and the Emperor were forced to "meditate" in Xiaoyan and Nanliang. Xiao Yan reigned for 48 years, ranking first among the emperors in the Southern Dynasties. Liang Wudi's Xiao Yan was quite successful during his reign. In his later years, the "Hou Jing Rebellion" broke out and the capital fell. Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi was imprisoned by Hou Jing and died in Taicheng at the age of 86. Xiao Yan in Liang Wudi was buried in spiritual practice and was named Emperor Wu, and Xiao Yan Temple in Liang Wudi was called Gaozu.
According to historical records, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was a master of martial arts and literature, while Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was indeed a rare emperor in the history of China.
Liang Wudi Xiao Yan's nicknames are Lian Er and Lian. Xiao was born in 464 AD and died in 549 AD at the age of 86. Like Emperor Qianlong, he was a rare longevity emperor in ancient China. As the first emperor of "Song, Qi, Liang and Chen" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan's wisdom and talent are extraordinary. According to historical records, people are "born strange, with two hip bones, a drum on the top and a text saying' Wu' in their right hand".
It is said that Liang Wudi ZSZSZSZ, who is in his early twenties, once worked under the minister Wang Jian. Wang Jian knows the art of looking at faces. He looked at Liang Wudi Xiao Yan's face and said, "This Xiao Lang has been a waiter for thirty years, which is very expensive."
Sure enough, in the last year of Xiao Yan's "thirty years" in Liang Wudi, that is, at the age of 39 (AD 502), Xiao Baorong, the emperor of Qi, was located in him, and his capital was still located in Jiankang (now Nanjing). In fact, Xiao Baorong was forced by Liang Wudi Xiao Yan.
After the siege of Taicheng, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan planned to slay Xiao Baojuan, the bad king of the East, and killed five of the seven sons of Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan. One escaped to the Northern Wei Dynasty in disguise without killing, and the other was dumb and useless. Xiao Baorong, who could be helped up temporarily, was not afraid, but was killed shortly after meditation.
Liang Wudi Xiao Yan abstains from sex and "never sleeps with women". Where are all the women in the harem? Historically, except for your concubine Ding Lingguang who stayed in Beijing, all the other concubines were driven out by Xiao Yan to live with their separated sons.
The ancient emperors "seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards" were mostly dissolute men except those who died before reaching adulthood. Many people think that Liang Wudi Xiao Yan is a good emperor, which is commendable.
In fact, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was deified, or some scholars in modern times were "reversing his conviction" for him. In fact, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was also an absurd emperor. At that time, China was divided into north and south. Under the background of strong south and weak north, Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi made many "Northern Expeditions", but he never defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty and "recovered lost ground".
At that time, the northern forces were once divided and leaderless. If Liang Wudi and Xiao Yan were wise monarchs like Qianlong, it would be no problem to unify China with the power of the Southern Dynasties, and there would be no need to wait for the emergence of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty 50 years later. Xiao Yan not only failed to become emperor himself, but also made multiple farce such as "becoming a monk", and his family style also made him a mess.
After Liang Wudi Xiao Yan became emperor, * * * in the harem seemed impatient. Although there is no record of summoning 30 women overnight, when Zhao Qigang, the governor of Song Like, became emperor, he was also very strict. It can be said that it is as "faint" as Xiao Baojuan, and his mind is full of racket.
