Chapter 162 Emperor Qi Ming·Xiao Luan

[Prime Minister Xiao Luan is the son of Qi Gaodi's brother Xiao Daocheng and the uncle of Xiao Zhaoye. 】

[Xiao Zhaoye wanted to kill Xiao Luan several times, but was dissuaded when he hesitated several times. 】

[On July 494, AD, Xiao Luan launched a coup to kill Xiao Zhaoye and established Xiao Zhaoye's younger brother Xiao Zhaowen as emperor. 】

[On October 22, Xiao Luan killed Xiao Zhaowen again and obtained the throne. 】

[Because the emperor's throne was illegitimate and in order to eliminate future troubles, Xiao Luan massacred all the descendants of Xiao Daocheng and Xiao Yu. 】

[But I still have to say that although Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan is not a human being, he does not harm the country. 】

[On the contrary, apart from his personal ethics, he was an emperor who worked hard to govern. 】

……

Southern Qi and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Xiao Luan, who was worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it looks like his life was saved.

……

[Emperor Qi Ming was different from the late Liu Song Dynasty and crazy emperors like Xiao Zhaoye. 】

[Although he is fond of killing the clan, he also really governs the country with his heart. 】

[First, he is diligent. 】

["The superiors are very involved in detailed affairs, and the outline is also very detailed. Therefore, the counties, counties, six departments, and nine government offices perform their duties on a regular basis, and all of them are subject to the edicts and edicts."]

[And as soon as he took office, he did two things that benefited the people. 】

[The first thing he did was tear down the huge garden built by Qi Wu Emperor Xiao Yu a few years ago, because he felt that it was too wasteful to use such a large garden just for enjoying the beautiful scenery. 】

[So the garden walls were torn down, and the fields inside were distributed to the people for farming. The fish and shrimps in the rivers and ponds were allowed to be harvested to help the people survive the famine. 】

[The second thing was that he also demolished the luxurious Dongtian Manor of Prince Wenhui Xiao Changmao, destroyed all the pavilions and pavilions inside, reused the wood, and distributed the land to people for growing food. 】

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Zhuge Liang looked at the sky and pointed slightly:

"Diligence, this is an important criterion for positioning an emperor."

"As long as any emperor is diligent in government affairs, he can at least be sure that he is not a coward."

"After all, Hunjun is very lazy and unwilling to deal with complicated government affairs. He just leaves the government affairs to the eunuchs and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun."

Liu Chan: Huh?

Are you talking about me?

Woohoo! My father-in-law said I was a fool!
me……

Liu Chan thought carefully about his harem life.

Wow! Xiangfu is right!

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
Cao Cao tasted the comment given in the "Historical Book".

He shook his head and said:

"Although he works diligently, he goes too far."

Cao Rui on the side asked curiously:

"How do you know, Great Father, that his faults are worse than his faults?"

Cao Cao pointed to the sky and said:
"Rui'er, you see, the Sixth Department and the Ninth House are always performing their duties, and all of them depend on the imperial edict."

"Do you know the Sixth Department and the Nineth House?"

Cao Rui nodded and said loudly:
"Except for the office, merit theory, ennoblement, demotion, eight discussions, doubts and exhortations, etc., they are the six cases."

"Taichang, Guang Luxun, Weiwei, Tingwei, Da Sinong, Shaofu, Jiang Zuo Dajiang, Taipu, Da Honglu, etc. are the Jiuqing Mansion."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled:

"Yes, but so many routine tasks must be reported to him and decided by edict."

"This will lead to a long wait for a less important instruction."

"And so many memorials will not be returned in time."

"His diligence will actually affect the operation of the court."

Cao Pi on the side also said:

"An ancient saying goes: A wise king uses his talents to enact administration and appoints officials according to his ability."

"The three princes sit down and discuss the Tao, the nine ministers do their work, and the emperor only respects his own south."

"This sentence does not mean that the monarch should do nothing, but that all the various tasks should be done in their own way."

"The monarch will always be close to each other. The more the monarch works, the more relaxed his ministers will be. This is the so-called 'cooking for others and becoming a great craftsman'."

"and……"

Cao Pi smacked his lips, glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Not everyone can be like Zhuge Liang, who can do everything without making mistakes."

"Besides, Zhuge Liang was exhausted because he was too busy dealing with complicated and trivial matters."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi and remained silent.

……

[Second, he is frugal. 】

[The word frugality is generally difficult to associate with emperors because they possess a lot of material wealth, and the frugality of ordinary emperors is difficult to equate to the generally recognized frugality. 】

[But Xiao Luan’s frugality is generally recognized as frugality. 】

[If there are leftover rice dumplings from the meal, I will be afraid that the kitchen will throw them away as leftovers, so I will say: "I can't finish this, but I can break it into four pieces and have the rest for dinner."]

[It means I can’t finish these rice dumplings at once. You divide the remaining rice dumplings into four portions and I’ll eat them at night. 】

[When using soap locust, you will hand the unused soap locust to the attendants and ask them to save it for next time. 】

[Furthermore, he will carefully inspect the ceremonial equipment for traveling, stop using all sedans decorated with gold and silver, cut out all the gold and silver inlaid on them and hand them over to the treasury, and replace the original gold and silver with tooth horn products. 】

[Even at the New Year's Day party, there was a dispute over the wine vessels. Just because the wine cups used to warm the wine were made of exquisite sterling silver, I thought it was too wasteful and planned to melt all the silver wine vessels. Finally he was stopped by the ministers. 】

……

Southern Qi Dynasty Gaodi Period
Xiao Daocheng's expression kept changing.

Even if you have the virtue of being close to the people and being respectful and thrifty.

This is not the reason for you to slaughter the clan!

……

[According to the law, be impartial and selfless, and fight for every inch of territory in the Northern Wei Dynasty. 】

[But that’s it. Because he was a side sect who seized the throne, his suspicions were worse than Cao Cao’s. 】

[During the five years of his reign, he successively killed almost all of the 20 or 30 people including Poyang King Xiao Qiang, Luling King Xiao Ziqing, and Wu Zisun. 】

[The youngest among them was only six or seven years old when he was killed. 】

[Only the brothers Xiao Zixian and the son of Xiao Yi, the second son of Emperor Gao, survived. 】

[Emperor Qi Ming’s cruel methods towards the clan still make history readers shudder even after thousands of years. 】

[And this also became one of the important reasons for the demise of Southern Qi. 】

……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
Liu Zhuang had a dark face and said nothing.

The posthumous title "Ming" is almost stinky!
Emperor Ming of Wei and Emperor Ming of Jin were fairly qualified.

What are Emperor Ming of Song and Emperor Ming of Qi!
Dare to use "ming" too!
Liu Jin on the side looked at his father who was dancing vigorously with a stick in his hand.

Take two steps back.

Don't hurt me by mistake!
"Shuzi! Eat Naigong's stick!"

Liu Jin was shocked!
He saw Liu Zhuang rushing towards him with red eyes!

"Wait! Father! What does this have to do with me!"

Liu Jin ran away! Running and shouting.

"If you hadn't set the precedent for the exclusive power of relatives! How could there be eunuchs involved in politics!"

"Eunuchs don't do politics! How could there be the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

"Without the Yellow Turban Rebellion! There would be no Three Kingdoms! Western Jin Dynasty! Eastern Jin Dynasty! Liu Song Dynasty! Southern Qi Dynasty! Even the posthumous title of Ming Dynasty would not be bad!"

"Zhuzi! This is all because of you!"

Full of absurdity, Liu Jin ran away with his head in his hands.

"Father! Be reasonable!"

Liu Zhuang waved his stick and said angrily!
"How dare you talk back! Unfilial son! Stop! Eat Nai Gong's three hundred sticks first!"

Liu Jin screamed strangely and rushed out of the hall.

Liu Zhuang pursued him with a stick in hand!

Queen Mingde, who was left alone in the palace, looked at the figures of the father and son in the distance and sighed:

"The relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince has become deeper and deeper."

Liu Jin:? !

……

[On July 498, AD, Xiao Luan, who had reigned for five years, died of illness at the age of . He was given the posthumous title of Emperor Ming and the temple name of Gaozong, and was buried in Xing'an Mausoleum. 】

[At the same time, a hero in the north will also reach the end of his life. 】

 Emperor Wu of Liang was also a king of long standby times.
