Chapter 159 Qi Gaodi Xiao Daocheng
[Qi, the second dynasty of the Southern Dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. 】

[It was built by Xiao Daocheng, the Emperor of Qi Dynasty, and made Jiankang the capital. 】

[Xiao Daocheng, courtesy name Shao Bo, was originally from Lanling, Donghai, and later moved to Wujin County, Jinling. 】

[According to records, Xiao Daocheng is the twenty-fourth generation grandson of Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the Western Han Dynasty. 】

……

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng looked at the sky in surprise.

I now understand the background of your four hundred years of Han Dynasty.

The emperor's family takes turns to sit on the throne.

It's the Prime Minister's turn now, right?

"Xiao He..."

Thinking of how quickly and accurately this person handles internal affairs.

I couldn't help but feel a little confused for a while.

"Forget it, let's leave the position of prime minister to Fusu and seal him."

……

Big man,

Outside Linhua Palace, Liu Bang took a breath and glanced at the sky. Wiped his mouth.

"Pooh!"

"This old boy's descendants are quite lucky."

He picked up the water bottle held by the maid next to him, took a sip and rinsed his mouth.

He rolled his eyes, spit out the mouthwash and shouted:

"Immediately summon the Prime Minister to the palace."

If I don't give you a good burden, I'll be sorry for you, the twenty-fourth generation grandson!
Rubbing his chin, Liu Bang frowned and thought about what else he could ask Xiao He to do.

As for Liu Song's death...

Well done!
Otherwise it would be too embarrassing for Liu Jiao.

Fortunately, it’s not Naigong’s seed!

……

[Xiao Daocheng has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and has repeatedly made military exploits, so he has been promoted to higher ranks. 】

[In the late Liu Song Dynasty, the emperors went crazy and the royal families fought and killed each other. Xiao Dao, who had a large number of soldiers, gradually gained power. 】

[In 477 AD, the deposed emperor Liu Yu was killed, and Xiao Daocheng supported his younger brother Liu Zhun to succeed him. In the same year, Xiao Daocheng was named King of Qi. 】

[In April 479 AD, Xiao Daocheng forced Emperor Shun of the Song Dynasty Liu Zhun to abdicate, proclaimed himself emperor, and established Southern Qi. 】

[On May 6, he killed Emperor Shun of Song Dynasty in Danyang Palace. He was only thirteen years old. 】

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor An Dynasty
Liu Yu looked at the sky with an expressionless face.

He probably knew whose son this man would be.

But I don't want to do anything at all.

Among the sons, Liu Yilong is the most reliable, but none of Liu Yilong's children and grandchildren are reliable.

Now I just want to be quiet and don't want to do anything!

……

Liu Song Dynasty: Emperor Wen’s Period
Liu Yilong closed his eyes and thought.

"Xiao Daocheng...Xiao Daocheng..."

After a moment, he remembered who this person was!

"General of the Right Army, son of Xiao Chengzhi."

Liu Yilong was very impressed by Xiao Chengzhi.

By the time Yanzhi's Northern Expedition was defeated, the Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the victory to occupy Qingzhou, and Yi Zhan's family invaded Jinan. Xiao Chengzhi used the empty city strategy to retreat the enemy.

When the Di tribe Qiu Chi invaded Hanchuan, he also pacified Liangzhou.

The most important thing is that he has never curry favor with Liu Yikang, who is in sole control.

Knocking on the table, Liu Yilong frowned and thought.

……

Southern Qi Dynasty Gaodi Period
Wearing twelve crowns and robes of the sun and moon.

Xiao Daocheng, who was receiving homage from courtiers, looked at the sky.

Then he looked at the ministers who had finished their pilgrimage and said:

"I, a commoner tribe, cannot think of this."

"Thanks to the borrowing of time, great achievements will be made..." "...I am willing to work with you to build a great family and country!"

……

[At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Emperor Gao of Qi changed the consistent tyranny of the Liu and Song Dynasties, treated others leniently, promoted frugality, and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, which made the early Qi Dynasty relatively stable. 】

[Orders to reduce or exempt people's taxes and old debts, restrict the privileges of the royal family and officials, build schools, advocate thrift, and oppose waste. 】

[The "17-Article" system was introduced to stipulate in the form of legal provisions seventeen "no's" to effectively eliminate waste. 】

[Gold and silver shall not be used as foil, horse riding equipment shall not be of gold or silver, shall not be woven into embroidered skirts, brocade shoes shall not be worn on the road, and red flags shall not be used to cover clothes.

[It is not allowed to cut ribbons and silk into miscellaneous flowers, silk damask is not allowed to be used to make miscellaneous clothing, deer brocade and tamarisk beds, tooth boxes and cages are not allowed to be used, colorful silk is not allowed to be used as screens and brocade mats, and utensils are not allowed to be made privately. 】

[It is not allowed to decorate musical instruments with seven kinds of treasures or use various lacquered objects, it is not allowed to use gold and silver as flowers and animals, and it is not allowed to make statues of gold and bronze. 】

[Some of the regulations may seem ridiculous now, but at the time they were extravagant behaviors that consumed people's energy and had little relevance to people's lives. 】

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao pointed to the sky and said to Cao Pi and Cao Rui:
"Do you see, this is the importance of family background!"

"A moment of pride is nothing, but a long-term and lasting rule is your husband!"

"Conquering the world relies on force, and governing the world relies on wisdom."

Cao Cao touched his beard and sighed:
"Looking at him alone, he has the kindness of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty."

Cao Pi and Cao Rui's eyes widened.

Father! This is a bit over the top!

That was Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty!
You should be Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, no one dares to touch it.

……

[Qi Gaodi’s frugality is not just superficial talk. 】

[He set an example by greatly reducing his own expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation. 】

[If it is found that his clothes and hats are decorated with expensive jade, he will immediately order someone to take them off and ask other clothes to be carefully inspected. If there are other similar decorations, they will be taken off on the spot and destroyed. 】

[At the same time, all the embroidered silk tents hanging on the sleeping couches of the harem and concubines were replaced with ordinary yellow gauze tents. 】

[All copper railings and handrails in the inner hall were removed and replaced with iron materials. 】

[The most shocking thing is that Emperor Qi Gao also ordered that the golden flower decoration on the canopy of the emperor's palace be removed. The dazzling gold was cut out and replaced with iron nails. 】

[In addition, Emperor Qi Gao often warned his sons that they should love each other and work together, so that they would not destroy themselves like Liu Song. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng looked at the sky and sighed:
"The emperor owns the world, and legally speaking, he can possess all the resources in the world."

"You can have any enjoyment according to your own temperament."

"But this is the way to destroy a country and a family."

"But in the face of completely unconstrained human desires, few people can be cautious and abstinent."

Liu Heng nodded and praised:
"It's rare to find an emperor who is so pragmatic and low-key and doesn't indulge in luxury, Cai."

Liu Qi looked at Liu Heng with wide eyes, and then glanced at the old man in the sky.

Why!
I'm very frugal too!
I don’t even wear silk clothes!

My hobby is playing chess without hurting the public!
You haven't even praised me for being thrifty!

Why should he!
If it were me, I wouldn't even want a car hood!

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor An Dynasty
The face of admiration dropped again.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth:

"No way! I guarantee that none of those bastards will survive!"

……

Playing continues on the marquee
In Jiankang Hall,

Xiao Daocheng, dressed in imperial robes, stood on the alchemy stage.

Looking at His Highness's ministers, he said confidently:
"If you let me rule the world for ten years, the price of gold and earth will be the same."

……

[During the period of Emperor Qi Gao, the declining Jiangnan area was restored, border wars were reduced, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. 】

[After ascending the throne at the age of fifty-three, he once made a "ten-year agreement" with great ambition]

[But God did not agree to this unilateral agreement. 】

[In March 482 AD, Emperor Qi Gao fell seriously ill and died suddenly in Linguang Hall. 】

[He is fifty-six years old and has been in office for four years. His posthumous title is Emperor Gao, and his temple name is Taizu. Buried in Tai'an Mausoleum. 】

……

 Xiao Daocheng was also a good emperor, but he died early.
