Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

Emperor Wanli looked at the screen, the corners of his eyes were moist again.

"Four Eight Seven"

Later generations tolerated him a lot.

He secretly made up his mind that since he had been given a chance to choose again, he could not let future generations down again.

Zhou Yi glanced at the emperors in the audience, and looked at the hundreds of millions of viewers through the screen, and said slowly: "Emperor Wanli has finished his evaluation. As for what he will do in the future, we will wait and see."

"Next, we are commenting on another emperor who reigned longest and lived the longest, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties!"

In a remote corner under the stage, a huge figure, head down, was drowsy.

Hearing this, he suddenly raised his head and immediately became energetic.

In Zhouyi's live broadcast of the emperor's award ceremony, almost all the emperors of various dynasties came to the scene, but the emperors of some small countries with less important historical status were located in relatively remote places.

And many lists, they are also running with them, and they are rarely commented on.

Unless there are some special awards, they can only be mentioned.

All the phantoms of the emperor turned their heads when they heard the words, looked at this secluded corner, and looked at the figure of Emperor Wu of Liang.

On the big screen, a building from the Southern Dynasty suddenly appeared.

Liang Guo in the Southern Dynasties.

Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was reciting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha in the temple. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head.

The emperors and all the spectators could see clearly through the big screen, only to see that Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was already seven or eighty years old, his face was wrinkled, and his hair was snow-white.

The most surprising thing was that he was neither wearing a dragon robe nor casual clothes, but a cassock. Except that he was not shaved, he looked exactly like an old monk.

Yingzheng, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu and other emperors didn't know his details, so they were a little puzzled.

"Isn't this a monk?"

"Is it really an emperor?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Of course he is the emperor, but he is an emperor who likes to become a monk."

Zhu Di laughed: "Song Taizu, you don't have to be sarcastic. Your descendants, the subjugated king Song Huizong, believed in Taoism and were called the Taoist Emperor."

"It's really similar to this Buddhist emperor. You don't have to laugh at your elder brother."

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly.

"Ming Chengzu, have you forgotten? Your descendant, Emperor Jiajing, is also a Taoist, and my ineffective Song Huizong can be called the Taoist Emperor together, each other! Each other!

Zhu Di was suddenly very embarrassed and speechless.

He actually forgot about this just now, his own old Zhu's family also has such useless descendants.

Zhou Yi coughed, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"The Southern Liang Kingdom where Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan lived was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period."

"Wars were frequent during this period. There are countless small countries in this ancient land, which can be established at any time and quickly destroyed by others. This is the moment when you sing and I come on stage."

"Many small countries in this period did not leave much achievements, and they are not famous in history."

"In the Southern Dynasties Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, there were four countries successively."

"After Song Wudi Liu Yu established the Liu Song regime, this short-lived dynasty did not exist in the world for a long time. None of the descendants of later generations became successful, and the family fortune was quickly ruined."

"In the last years of the Liu Song regime, the general Xiao Daocheng overthrew the decadent small dynasty and created a new country. The name of the country was Qi, and it was called Nan Qi in history."

"The Liu Song regime existed for 60 years, and the Southern Qi regime only lasted for more than [-] years."

"Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, reigned the longest among all the emperors of the Southern Dynasties."

"In the early days of his reign, he also made great efforts to govern the country. He reformed the shortcomings of the previous dynasty and developed the country's strength."

"But soon, like all emperors, he immediately began to become fatuous."

"Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan is a descendant of Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. He and the royal family of the Southern Qi Dynasty belong to the same family and have a close relationship..."

"Xiao Yan has been very smart since he was a child, and he also likes to read. Many people of insight believe that he will definitely become a generation of emperors in the future."

"Xiao Daocheng died of illness soon after he founded the Qi State."

"At the end of his life, he passed the throne to Xiao Zhaoye, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Xiao Luan, Marquis of Xichang, assisted him in the administration."

"But Xiao Zhaoye is fatuous and incompetent. He only knows how to eat, drink and play, and ignores the government. Xiao Yan assisted Xiao Luan and won the throne."

"Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was quite talented at this time. Emperor Xiaowen Tuobahong of the Northern Wei Dynasty personally led an army of 30 to attack the Southern Qi. Emperor Xiao Luan sent an army of [-] to attack in four directions."

"Although the four generals are all outstanding generals, they are very afraid of the Northern Wei army."

"At this time, after Tuoba Hong's reforms in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the national power was strong, and the arrogance was overwhelming. They wanted to pacify the world in one fell swoop, and all the officials in the Southern Qi court were greatly shocked."

"The four-way army is stalemate with the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is impossible to win for a while."

"At this time, Xiao Yan led an army to outflank the Northern Wei army from the rear at night, planting Qi flags on the mountain, bluffing."

"The next day, when the sky was bright, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw the flags of the Qi State all over the mountains and plains, thinking that the army of the Qi State had surrounded them, they were terrified and fled in fear."

"At this time, the five armies of the Qi State launched an attack together, and the Northern Wei army was wiped out, and the Qi State won a complete victory in 4.5."

"Because of this military exploit, Xiao Yan was promoted to be the bastard son of the crown prince, an extremely human minister."

"Xiao Luan only reigned for five years and soon died of illness. His son Xiao Baojuan ascended the throne as emperor."

"Xiao Baojuan is known as the Marquis of Donghun. He is cruel and easy to kill. After succeeding to the throne, he murdered the courtiers wantonly. For a moment, everyone in the court and the people were terrified, and the hearts of the people were scattered, and the people were even more alienated."

"After Xiao Baojuan killed Xiao Yan's brother, Shang Shuling Xiao Yi, Xiao Yan couldn't bear it anymore and decided to raise troops to avenge his brother."

"He was the governor of Yongzhou at that time, and he was alone and lonely, so he started recruiting troops."

"Soon, thousands of people, thousands of horses, and three thousand ships were gathered."

"Xiao Baojuan went against the grain, and countless ministers turned to Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Yan led his troops to march towards Jiankang City, and when he met Xiao Baorong, king of Nankang, the clan of Qi State, he raised his troops, and the two became one conveniently.".

240 Chapter Three

"Xiao Baorong ascended the throne in Jiangling as Emperor Qihe, and then marched towards Jinling City."

"And at this extremely critical moment, Xiao Baojuan still listened to the slander and wanted to kill the guards in the capital."

"General Wang Zhenguo was so angry that he secretly sent his confidants to join forces with Xiao Yan, and he personally led his troops into the palace, beheaded the drunk Xiao Baojuan, and dedicated it to Xiao Yan and Xiao Baorong."

"Xiao Yan supported Xiao Baorong and officially became the emperor of Qi. He made great military exploits and was promoted to the chief minister, in charge of internal and external military affairs.

"At this time Xiao Yan has become a powerful minister in Southern Qi, covering the sky with one hand."

"The people in the world only know his name, but even the real emperor has forgotten. Xiao Yan can completely replace Nan Qi now."

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also heard the news and moved, encouraging him to replace Nanqi."

"Xiao Baorong saw that the general situation was over, so he wrote down the edict of abdication and passed on the throne to him."

"Xiao Yan pretended to refuse several times, but finally accepted the edict, ascended the throne as emperor, and changed the name of the country to Liang. This is Nanliang."

"When Liang Wudi Xiao Yan took the throne, he had the demeanor of a wise monarch and was diligent in political affairs."

"Wake up at five o'clock every day, review memorial 26, and deal with government affairs. In winter, even my hands are cracked."

"At this time, he can accept advice with an open mind, and he can also promote talents. If he finds that officials have buried available talents, he will dismiss these officials."

"Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, also vigorously advocated Confucianism and encouraged scholars to study hard so that they would be used by the court in the future. For a while, the sound of reading could be heard everywhere in Liang."

"With these deeds, Liang Guo is filled with prosperity everywhere."

"Although Xiao Yan's politics were relatively clear at this time, he did not touch the interests of powerful families at all, and this has been the main conflict in almost all countries since the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"Although in this period, the powerful and powerful families are not as lawless as in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they still have great influence."

"If you can't solve the aristocratic family, those poor students who are full of knowledge will never have a bright future."

"And even this strenuous attitude didn't last long."

"Xiao Yan just made some achievements, and began to slack off."

"In the second half of his life, he began to believe in Buddhism."

"The emperor took the lead, and the civil and military officials below naturally followed suit."

"During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the wars continued, and the people were confused and at a loss. But the monarch vigorously advocated Buddhism, and the people naturally flocked to it."

"Everyone pins their hearts on the illusory Buddhism, and hopes to be reborn in a peaceful world in the afterlife."

"For a while, temples were built everywhere in the country."

"The sound of wooden fish is everywhere, and the monks are proliferating in large numbers."

"'480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain', this poem describes the prosperity of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties."

"As soon as Liang Guo's national strength improved, he invested countless gold and silver treasures in the temple, squandering the treasury."

"And the common people are addicted to cigarettes, and enshrine the little wealth they have in temples, even if they live in hardship, they don't hesitate."

"The whole Nanliang is filled with an atmosphere of subjugation."

"And under such circumstances, Emperor Wu of Liang made another showy operation, which not only killed himself in the end, but also pushed the country into the abyss of extinction."

"This is the Hou Jing Rebellion."

"Northern Wei had already split into Northern Qi and Western Wei at this time. Hou Jing was a Xianbei-style Jie tribe. He was originally a general of Northern Qi Gao Huan, but later defected to Western Wei Yu Wentai. Seeing his wolfish ambition, Yu Wentai was not at ease."

"Hou Jing was desperate and defected to Nanliang. Xiao Yan accepted him and named him a general, and asked him to lead the troops to guard the border to guard against the Northern Qi and Western Wei."

"Later Xiao Yan made peace with Northern Qi, and Northern Qi made the condition of sending Hou Jing back."

"Xiao Yan readily agreed, and is going to send Hou Jing back to the north bank of the Yangtze River, so as to win Northern Qi's favor."

"Hou Jing refused to sit still and waited for his death. With the slogan of eradicating Zhu Yi, the powerful minister around the emperor, he led his troops to make chaos, and went all the way south to attack Jiankang City."

"When he first started the rebellion, there were only 8000 men."

"But wherever he went, he first killed all kinds of aristocratic families and distributed the land to the poor people. He won the support of all the people and his power grew rapidly."

"At the beginning, Emperor Wu of Liang didn't take action to eradicate the hidden dangers left by the aristocratic family. At this moment, it finally broke out."

"And Hou Jing, in order to buy people's hearts, even recruited some poor scholars, civil servants and counselors, who came here admiringly."

"Hou Jing led the army to be invincible. Liang's powerful families and armies from all over the country fled in all directions."

"By the time Hou Jing and his men came outside Jiankang City, they already had more than [-] horses."

"At this time, Emperor Wu of Liang was not in a panic, and still worshiped the Buddha devoutly."

"Xiao Zhengde, the guard of Jiankang City, has already taken refuge in Hou Jing, opened the city gate, and the capital fell completely."

"Hou Jingzong's soldiers wantonly killed and looted in the city. Of course, those princes, nobles and powerful families should be killed, but hundreds of thousands of people in the city died."

"Xiao Yan has long forgotten the lessons learned during the Wuhuluanhua period, and he is still not on guard against the Jie clan."

"Actually, wherever Hou Jing went, there was a massacre. Millions of people died tragically, and many cities were reduced to empty cities."

"The Nanliang army's crusade failed, and they turned their anger on these people, and imitated Hou Jing, massacring innocent people."

"The whole Nanliang almost reproduced the scene before 200 years ago in 487."

"Hou Jing imprisoned Emperor Wu of Liang in a side hall in the Taicheng Imperial Palace. He was not allowed to move around at will, and his diet was gradually reduced."

Zhou Yi paused.

The big screen in the sky projected on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked up at the sky, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

This is already the tenth day of his captivity.

Through the screen, the emperors suddenly discovered that the temple where Xiao Yan is currently located is in the palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry: "He has become a prisoner, and he can still worship the Buddha with peace of mind?"

Zhao Kuangyin sarcastically said: "Xiao Yan is hoping that the Buddha can influence Hou Jing."

"From the perspective of Buddhism, there is no incurable person in the world. Even the most treacherous and evil people can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"

When Xiao Yan heard this, no matter how calm he was, his face could not help but feel hot.

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "If Hou Jing can forgive, then where should those people who died tragically go to appeal for their grievances?"
