Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty was a mediocre and beautiful woman, and the national power of the Northern Qi declined, and he died soon after, succeeded by Gao Wei, after which the Northern Qi was captured by the Southern Chen and Huainan, and died in the Northern Zhou.
Gao Zhan, nicknamed Buluoji, is Gao Huan's ninth son, and his mother is Lou Zhaojun. Gao Zhan inherited the excellent genes of his parents, and his appearance was handsome, which won the love of his father Gao Huan. At that time, Gao Huan appeased Rouran in the north and made Gao Zhan, who was only eight years old, engaged to the daughter of Luo Chen, the prince of Rouran, known as the princess of Linhe. On the day of the wedding, Xiao Gaozhan was dressed and solemn, and his expression was quiet and profound, and Hu Han admired him.
Gao Zhan's second brother Gao Yang abolished the Eastern Wei Emperor, established himself as the emperor, established the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Zhan, who was only thirteen years old, was named the King of Changguang and Shang Shuling.
Gao Yang died of illness, and his son Gao Yin ascended the throne, after which Yang Su and others who assisted the government had conflicts with Gao Yan and Gao Zhan brothers. Gao Yan and Gao Zhan launched a palace coup d'Γ©tat with the support of their mother Lou Zhaojun, abolished Gao Yin, Gao Yan inherited the throne, and Gao Zhan became the right prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people.
Gao Yan accidentally fell and injured himself while riding a horse, and he couldn't afford to get sick, Gao Zhan and his nephew Gao Yuanhai and Gao Guiyan and others secretly discussed, preparing to send troops to usurp the throne, the wizard divination said that it was not conducive to raising troops to usurp the throne, Gao Zhan did not raise an incident to usurp the throne. Gao Yan was worried that the ninth brother Gao Zhan would eventually usurp power, which would cause bloody killings, so he passed the emperor directly to Gao Zhan. Gao Yan's deathbed instructions said: "Put my wife and son in a good place, and don't learn from your predecessors." β
Gao Zhan officially inherited the throne of the Northern Qi Dynasty, at the beginning of his accession, Gao Zhan was still concerned about political affairs, he visited the good and evil of political affairs, asked the people about their suffering, and promoted those virtuous people. At the same time, in order to enhance the national strength and save the crisis of the rule, he also issued a new law on the equalization of land and rent, which was known as the Heqing reform in history, which greatly enhanced the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and later came to the Sui Dynasty and still adopted the Juntian system of the Northern Qi.
After a brief period of wise rule, Gao Zhan immediately changed his face, absurd, brutal and murderous, and his tyranny was outrageous.
Gao Xiaoyu is Gao Cheng's eldest son, the same age as Gao Zhan, and the uncle and nephew have grown up together since childhood, and they have a good relationship. Gao Xiaoyu saw Gao Zhan's queen Hu playing with his favorite ministers and scholars, so he admonished and said: "The queen mother is in the world, and she can't contact her subordinates' hands. β
Later, at the prince's wedding banquet, Gao Xiaoyu was unhappy because he whispered to his good friend Erzhumo girl. Gao Zhan poured Gao Xiaoyu thirty-seven glasses of wine, sent Lou Ziyan to take him out of the palace in a car, and poured poisoned wine on the car.
Gao Xiaowan is Gao Cheng's third son, and when he heard that his eldest brother had been poisoned, he hated the straw man to shoot arrows to vent his resentment. When the monk heard about it, he said to Gao Zhan: "Gao Xiaowan shoots the straw man as you." β
Gao Zhan ordered someone to detain him for questioning, and then asked someone to whip him, Gao Xiaowan was beaten very painfully, and shouted uncle. Gao Zhan roared angrily and scolded: "Who is your uncle?
Gao Xiaowan replied: "I am the grandson of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, the grandson of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, and the nephew of Emperor Yuan Shanjian of Wei Xiaojing, why can't I call you uncle?"
Before Gao Yan died, he was afraid that Gao Zhan would kill his son Gao Bainian, so he specially instructed him, but Gao Zhan turned a deaf ear. After several unusual celestial phenomena, Gao Zhan took the opportunity to arrest his nephew Gao Bainian.
Gao Bainian was beaten half to death, and begged Gao Zhan: "Help, I am willing to be a slave to my uncle." Gao Zhan ignored him, killed him, and threw him into the pool, which was red.
In addition to the tyranny of disregarding family affection, Gao Zhan is also an absurd beast, Gao Yang's wife Li Zu'e is very beautiful, and Gao Zhan covets this second sister-in-law. After Gao Zhan became the emperor, he threatened Li Zu'e: "If you don't agree, I will kill your son." In order to save his son Gao Shaode's life, Li Zu'e was forced to obey Gao Zhan.
Soon Li Zu'e was pregnant, and she closed her door all day, and she did not allow others to step into her Zhaoxin Palace. Later, Gao Shaode came to visit his mother, but was stopped, Gao Shaode was angry and annoyed, and shouted loudly: "Don't you know that my son? β
Li Zu'e was so ashamed that she couldn't help but burst into tears, and after her daughter was born, the embarrassed Li Zu'e killed her.
When Gao Zhan heard about it, he scolded with a knife: "You actually killed my daughter, why didn't I kill your son?"
sent someone to arrest Gao Shaode into the palace, and Gao Zhan scolded: "When your father beat me, you didn't come to save me." β
Immediately killed Gao Shaode with a knife, Li Zu'e saw his son being killed, and cried loudly, Gao Zhan heard Li Zu'e's cry, he was furious, he stripped Li Zu'e's clothes, and whipped him fiercely, beating Li Zu'e's flesh and blood blurred, screaming repeatedly, and fainting to the ground.
In the end, Gao Zhan asked someone to put her into a silk bag and throw her into the ditch, and it took a long time for Li Zu'e to wake up, take an ox cart out of the palace, and finally enter Miaosheng Temple to become a nun. More than ten years later, the Sui Dynasty was established, and Li Zu'e returned to his hometown of Zhao County and lived his entire life.
Emperor Wenxuan's Empress Li Zu'e is a beauty who captivates the country and the city, and she is knowledgeable and elegant, although Emperor Wenxuan Gaoyang is a tyrant who kills people without blinking, but he has great respect for Empress Li Zu'e. Gao Yang was very cruel to his younger brother Gao Zhan, often beating him, Gao Zhan held a grudge, and after Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he married Li Zu'e, the queen of Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang.
Gao Yin inherited the unification, Li Zu'e became the empress dowager, and Gao Yang's mother Lou Zhaojun became the empress dowager. The power of the Empress Dowager in the court is much greater than that of Li Zu'e, the Empress Dowager, and Lou Zhaojun has several biological sons of Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, and Gao Yin's throne is in jeopardy.
Li Zu'e found several close ministers in the court, discussed the abolition of Lou Zhaojun, and let Li Zu'e govern, transferred Gao Yan and Gao Zhan from the court to empty the rights of the two kings, and then tried to kill them. The news quickly reached Lou Zhaojun, and Lou Zhaojun was furious: "How can we let our mother and son be at the mercy of this Han woman?"
Lou Zhaojun acted quickly, Gao Yin was deposed as the king of Jinan, driven out of the palace, and Gao became the emperor of Northern Qi. There was no family affection in front of the right, and the uncle did not let go of the nephew in the end, Gao Yin was soon killed, and Li Zu'e moved to Zhaoxin Palace.
Gao Yan had only been emperor for two years before he had an accident during a hunting trip, fell off his horse and was seriously injured, and his treatment was ineffective, and he died soon after. Under the auspices of Lou Zhaojun, Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor of Northern Qi. Gao Zhan canonized Princess Hu of Changguang as the queen to show his favor, but Empress Hu's bedroom was empty, because Gao Zhan slept in the Zhaoxin Palace of his sister-in-law Li Zu'e.
Originally, Li Zu'e tried her best to refuse Gao Zhan's non-share request in view of her uncle's and sister-in-law's status, but Gao Zhan's words made her give up resistance: "Do you still want your son to live?" Li Zu'e only has her last son, Gao Shaode, this is her reliance and hope for the rest of her life, without her son, she has everything.
Li Zu'e became Gao Zhan's de facto concubine, Gao Zhan hugged her sister-in-law, a stunning beauty, and the spring was boundless every night. It didn't take long for Li Zu'e to become pregnant, her belly was swelling day by day, and she was gradually incapacitated.
Gao Shaode missed his mother and came to visit, but was stopped by the guards outside the palace gate. The son couldn't understand his mother's distress, and stood outside the palace gate and shouted: "Don't you know that my son has a big belly, so she refuses to see her son." Li Zu'e was so ashamed that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Zu'e and Gao Zhan's daughter was born, and the baby girl was strangled to death by Li Zu'e. When Gao Zhan heard the news, he was furious like a lion, he didn't expect this docile woman to dare to kill her daughter.
He immediately ordered someone to escort Gao Shaode to Zhaoxin Palace, and in front of Li Zu'e, he shouted hoarsely: "If you dare to kill my daughter, I will kill your son." Gao Shaode was beaten to death with the handle of a knife on the spot, and Li Zu'e tried his best to stop it, but he couldn't save his son's life.
Gao Zhan heard Li Zu'e's cry, and he was even more angry, he stripped Li Zu'e of her clothes, and beat her body with a whip, beating her flesh and blood into a blur, screaming repeatedly, and fainting to the ground. Gao Zhan asked someone to put her in a silk bag and throw her into a ditch, and the silk bag was dyed with blood by Li Zu'e. It took a long time for Li Zu'e to wake up, and at this time she was already disillusioned.
