Feng Xiaolian, Feng Xiaolian, is quite difficult to write about his life and events. This difficulty does not come from consulting historical materials or choosing words and sentences. People's established understanding is what I find most difficult to write about. Moreover, most of the people and events recorded in the history books are objectively true. So is there anything else worth exploring about the absurd behavior of Feng Xiaolian and Gao Wei? Are there deeper reasons behind the superficial phenomena recorded in history books? "Xiao Lian's jade body spreads across the night, and she has reported to the Zhou army to enter Jinyang." These two famous poems by Li Shangyin express his ridicule of the absurd lives of Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian, the later masters of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Yishan was originally a romantic poet. As a famous artist, Feng Xiaolian has such an evaluation of his life. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of explosive information will be added by later Confucian history writers. Most idioms used by *** are inseparable from the word "jade body spread across the body". It seems that the allusions of Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian can only be used in literature that is despicable in the eyes of the world. The reason is that Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian The love between them has always been regarded as the official teaching material of "women's lust brings ruin to the country" and "beauties are a disaster". However, why were these two men and women who prayed for each other to "be together in life and death" nailed to the cross because of their private affair? Let’s first take a look at the lives of Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian. Feng Xiaolian, who grew up in the harem, was originally a maid beside Mu, the queen of Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because the empress Gao Wei favored Cao Zhaoyi, who was good at playing the pipa, Empress Mu gave Feng Xiaolian to Gao Wei in order to marry Cao Zhaoyi. Unexpectedly, this not only made Gao Wei alienate Cao Zhaoyi, but also caused Gao Wei to alienate Cao Zhaoyi. Queen Mu was thrown out of the sky by her empress, Gao Wei. From then on, Gao Wei was alone in caring for her. As evidenced by Gao Wei's personal oath, he said: "I wish to live and die in the same place." Gaowei, the later master of the Northern Qi Dynasty. When the Western Jin Dynasty fell, China entered a period of great turmoil during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty (a regime dominated by the Xianbei ethnic group) stood out and unified northern China. Of course, the Northern Wei Dynasty eventually perished in the law of the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties (the word "China" is added here because only the dynasties in China changed so frequently). It was conquered by the then military generals Gao Huan and Yu Wentai. Divided the world. Gao Huan and Yuwentai were the originators of the later Northern Qi and Northern Zhou regimes. Gao Wei was the subjugated emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty (Gao Wei had a son who succeeded to the throne for a short time. Gao Wei was the actual leader of the subjugated Northern Qi Dynasty). Having said that, let me digress. The Northern Wei Dynasty initially gained power because the Xianbei culture advocated martial arts, and finally unified northern China, ending the turmoil of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms; however, the reason for the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty was because Emperor Xiaowen introduced Han culture and carried out Sinicization (how do I feel that I am talking about piracy The consequences of the game) are economic development, political corruption, and the disparity between rich and poor, which will lead to the country's demise. It can be said that Wei died due to Han culture, which is absolutely true, haha. Let’s get to the point. Gao Huan's son Gao Yang established the Northern Qi regime on the basis given to him by his father, while Yuwentai's son Yuwenjue established the Northern Zhou regime and ruled side by side with the Northern Qi Dynasty. The regime of the Northern Qi Dynasty passed through several emperors with different characteristics and was passed to the hands of the later master Gao Wei, which gave him the material conditions to destroy his country and his family just to win over the natural beauty Miss Feng Xiaolian. After Gao Wei got Feng Xiaolian, he devoted all his love for women to Miss Xiaolian, which was an anomaly in the debauched social atmosphere at that time. At that time, the military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty was relatively strong at the beginning. However, after the political struggle after Gao Wei came to power and the elimination of powerful generals and talents in the Northern Qi Dynasty such as Hu Luguang and King Gao Changgong of Lanling, the military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty began to gradually weaken; while the Northern Zhou Dynasty Under Emperor Wu's hard work, the country became more and more powerful, gradually becoming as powerful as Northern Qi. The decisive battles between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty recorded in historical books such as "Book of Northern Qi" are very similar. In 576 AD, Emperor Wu of Zhou led an army to attack Northern Qi. When the Northern Zhou army besieged Pingyang (today's Linfen, Shanxi), the alarm reached Gao Wei's ears, but at this time Miss Feng Xiaolian and Gao Wei were in the excitement of hunting, so Miss Xiaolian said: "Handsome man, let's hunt again. Circle it." Of course Gao Wei would not refuse. In his eyes, the military situation was nothing compared to Xiao Lian's smiling face. So, when the two of them went to support Pingyang after enjoying their hunt, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already captured Pingyang City. Emperor Wu of Zhou actually sent all his troops back to the court, leaving General Liang Shiyan to garrison. Objectively speaking, the military strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty at this time was still more advantageous than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Especially when Emperor Wu of Zhou's army had already mobilized, the Northern Qi army could easily defeat Liang Shiyan's army who was stationed alone. A small obstacle, but the actual result was that the Northern Qi army was defeated and collapsed. Why? According to historical records, the city wall of Pingyang City had collapsed a gap of more than ten steps due to the tunnel offensive of the Northern Qi soldiers. It was about to regain the lost ground, but Gao Wei ordered the entire army to wait on the spot and wait for Miss Xiao Lian to dress up. Dressed up, because he wanted Miss Xiao Lian to see the grand scene of defeating the enemy. Miss Xiao Lian and Emperor Wu Zetian attached great importance to "female appearance", so they dressed up carefully. Of course, being careful would take time, but the Northern Zhou army took advantage of this gap. By filling up the gap in the city wall, the Northern Qi army lost an excellent opportunity to defeat the enemy. However, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were not discouraged. After all, the military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty had been strong for many years. When Miss Xiao Lian finally appeared, they re-attacked the city again, and the Northern Zhou garrison in Pingyang City was once again in danger. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Pingyang could not escape the fate of being occupied by the Northern Qi army. However, Miss Xiao Lian complained that it was dark and could not see clearly. Gao Wei immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw and fight again the next day.
Unexpectedly, after being delayed by Miss Xiao Lian, Emperor Zhou Wu arrived with reinforcements, and the Northern Qi army's siege advantage was suddenly lost. Then the two armies, led by their respective emperors, started a decisive battle outside the city. Just after the confrontation, the left wing of the Northern Qi army retreated slightly. This was originally a normal phenomenon of advancing and retreating on the battlefield, but Miss Xiao Lian turned pale with fright and shouted that she was defeated. He ordered the army to retreat without hesitation. The generals under Gao Wei, the later master, advised him not to act rashly during the stalemate between the two armies, so as not to confuse the morale of the army. However, where Gao Wei is in charge, Xiao Lian's feelings are the most important. of. The final result of this battle was that the Northern Qi army killed more than ten thousand people and fled in defeat. However, Gao Wei was not heartbroken because he lost the battle he must win. He was only worried about Xiao Lian's happiness and anger. This is evidenced by what Gao Wei said after he fled back to Jinyang after the battle, saying: "As long as Xiao Lian It doesn't matter if you are fine, it doesn't matter if you are defeated." Soon afterwards, Gao Wei's words were indeed fulfilled, and Northern Qi was completely conquered by Emperor Wu of Zhou. Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian became prisoners of Emperor Wu. However, Gao Wei didn't take this to heart very much. When he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou, his only prayer was: "Please give me back my little pity." Emperor Wu of Zhou initially settled on Northern Qi, based on the politics of appeasing the Qi territory. The purpose was not only to give Gao Wei, the subjugated emperor, the false title of Duke Wen, but it was also difficult to violate Gao Wei's request for the time being. He said to Gao Wei: "I treat the world like an old shoe. How can I care about Feng Xiao?" Do you pity this old woman?" So he returned Xiao Lian to Gao Wei. However, the good times did not last long. After about a year or so, Emperor Wu felt that there were no obstacles to rule in his hometown of Northern Qi, so Gaowei must have a dead end. Gao Wei was executed, and Emperor Wu gave Xiao Lian to the acting king Yuwenda, who was said to be upright, serious and shady. Who would have thought that as soon as Dai Wang saw Xiao Lian, he would be completely surrendered by her unparalleled "jade body". From then on, he only knew how to indulge in Xiao Lian's body and no longer cared about anything else. According to historical records, Li Shi, the concubine of the King of Dai, was so overwhelmed by Xiao Lian's appearance that she almost couldn't survive. Xiao Lian was favored, but in her heart she was still thinking of her old lover Gao Wei, who had gone to heaven. She once played the pipa to show her love, but unexpectedly one of the strings was broken, so she wrote a poem out of sadness, saying: "Although I am favored today , I still remember the pity of the past. If you want to know that your heart is cut off, you should look at the string on your knees. "Originally, Miss Xiao Lian had a good destination here, but fate played a trick, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty soon followed the footsteps of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The king of the clan failed in the political struggle and was executed, so Xiao Lian was given to others again. But this time the person who got Xiao Lian was Li Xun, the elder brother of the concubine Li. In order to avenge her daughter, Li Xun's old mother made Xiao Lian a servant, wearing coarse clothes and pounding rice every day. She was abused in every possible way. In the end, Xiao Ling was forced to commit suicide. Miss Xiao Lian couldn't bear it, and finally used her own hands to send herself to heaven to relive the story with Gao Wei Yuanyang. What happened between Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian recorded in history books is roughly the above. At first glance, it seems that people can only be angry at Gao Wei for not fighting, and lament that Xiao Lian deceived his master and destroyed the country. But if we observe carefully In this paragraph, you will find that some of the historical evaluations of these two people are indeed unfair. What Gao Wei did throughout his life cannot be viewed in isolation. When we carefully study the family history of the Gao family in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is not difficult to find the following jaw-dropping things. The establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty actually started with Emperor Wenxuan Gaoyang. At the beginning, Gao Yang was able to work hard and win many foreign battles. But Gao Yang later indulged in wine and sex, and became extremely violent. Minister Yang, who had made many achievements for Northern Qi and was a relative of Gao Yang, was whipped on the back by Gao Yang with a riding crop without any reason, and then was stabbed in the stomach by Gao Yang with a knife. The eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to coax Gao Yang to pull out the knife. However, Gao Yang didn't have enough fun, and ordered Yang to be put into a coffin, nailed with iron nails, and transported around in a car as a funeral game. Fortunately, Yang was lucky and was saved from death in the end. This is nothing, let’s look down. Gao Yang once favored the Xue sisters, who were born singers. While Gao Yang was enjoying herself, her sister wanted to find an official position for her father, but Gao Yang was so angry that he sawed her to death with a saw. And because her sister had a fling with Qinghe King Gao Yue when she was a singer, Gao Yang provoked Gao Yang to first poison Gao Yue and then chop off the sister's head. He even took the sister's head to the banquet and showed it to everyone, then cut her body into pieces and used her bones to make a pipa. What's even more perverted is that he sometimes expresses emotion, and while playing the pipa made of the dead woman's bones, he even sheds tears and sings: "I don't know, it's hard to find a beautiful woman in a beautiful city or a beautiful country." Gao Yang Since I started going crazy, I have done incredible things. At the beginning, it was "bowing to encourage oneself, singing endlessly, from dawn to night, and night to day", and then "uncovering the body, applying makeup and pink, wearing Hu clothes and colorful clothes", even to the wives and daughters of ministers. Don't let it go. If you think of it or see it, you will be "lucky". Either expose his naked body to the sun, or capture a young woman and have sex with her. Anyone killed by him would usually be dismembered or burned to death. Later, Gao Yang may have been suffering from alcohol poisoning and began to have auditory hallucinations. In the end, he stopped eating and drank only. He died around the age of thirty-one. The cause of death was most likely due to cirrhosis of the liver. After Gao Yang's death, his son Gao Yin succeeded to the throne. Gao Yin was cowardly by nature, and was soon usurped as emperor by his uncle, Gao Yang's brother Gao Yan.
Gao Yang had anticipated such a situation when he was alive. He once wrote to Gao Yan, saying: "Brother, if you want the position of emperor, take it. I just ask you to let Gao Yin go..." "It's a pity that Gao Yan was disobedient and killed Gao Yin as soon as he became emperor. Gao Yan's birth date was definitely not his destiny to become emperor. After he became emperor deliberately, he died of a sudden illness only two years later at the age of twenty-seven. When he died, he said to his ninth brother, Gao Zhan, the heir: "Brother, you must treat my wife and children well, but don't imitate my behavior." Gao Zhan agreed on the spot. But as soon as Gao Zhan officially became emperor, he captured Gao Baibai, the son of the previous leader Gao Yan, and ordered a group of guards to beat the fourteen-year-old boy wildly. Gao Baibai was beaten until he was covered in blood, and he begged for mercy: "Uncle Nine Ah, please spare me, I am willing to work hard for you..." Unfortunately, Gao Zhan was so hard-hearted that he killed the child with his own hands. If this was not enough, he also threw the century-old corpse into the pool to swell, then fished it out, and under personal supervision dug the corpse three feet into the ground and buried it never to see the light of day. Gao Zhan was so reckless that he made Gao Yang's wife, the former Queen Li, pregnant. He also captured Li's son, King Taiyuan, and asked him: "Your father beat me before, why didn't you persuade him?" Then he beat his nephew to death with the handle of a knife. Who is this Gao Zhan? It turns out that he is the biological father of Miss Xiao Lian's lover Gao Wei. In order to restore the full picture of Gao Wei's family, it is necessary for us to take a look at what kind of character Gao Wei's mother is. Gao Wei's mother is also a very famous figure in the world. She has a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, saying: "It is better to be a prostitute than to be a queen." Gao Wei's mother was known as the Empress Dowager Hu in history. She was a woman with strong endocrine system and extremely strong sexual needs. Strange woman. Queen Mother Hu was from Ningxia and was very beautiful. She was selected into the palace and became the wife of Gao Wei's father Gao Zhan. Later, Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne and made Empress Dowager Hu the queen. At the beginning, Gao Zhan still loved this beautiful and sexy wife. According to historical records, he once spent a lot of money to make pearl dresses for Empress Dowager Hu, which shows that he still liked Empress Dowager Hu at that time. However, Gao Zhan has a strong abnormal psychology and is particularly fond of other people's wives. Ever since he took possession of Gao Yang's wife, the former queen, he has become indifferent to Queen Mother Hu. As mentioned above, Queen Mother Hu was a strange woman with strong endocrine system and extremely strong sexual needs. Of course she couldn't bear to stay alone in an empty room, so she sought sexual pleasure from ministers and scholars. However, Gao Zhan knew about it and did not blame these two people. Instead, he promoted He Shikai, and when he was about to die, he also made He Shikai the minister of Tuogu. However, He Shikai was unlucky. Just when he was in great power, he was beheaded by a fourteen-year-old child. This child was Gao Yan, the son of his lover Queen Mother Hu, who was Gao Wei's younger brother. After Empress Dowager Hu lost her husband Shikai, she became unbearably lonely. She found a monk named Tan Xian to satisfy her desire, and then developed a large number of junior monks to treat her endocrine excess disease. Who would have thought that she would bring two young monks into the palace dressed as palace maids so that she could treat her illnesses at any time? However, she did not expect that the handsome boy of these two young monks, disguised as a woman, would be sexually attracted to Gao Wei whom she saw by chance. Daqi, in fact, of course Gao Wei could not satisfy his sexual interest, but he did let him discover the secret of Empress Dowager Hu. So Gao Wei was furious and killed everyone who had an affair with Empress Dowager Hu, and also imprisoned Empress Dowager Hu in the Beigong. . Later, when the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, Empress Dowager Hu was released from captivity and lived in the market. With her son Gao Wei, Empress Mu, they started a life of flesh and blood together. This is the first time that a woman with severe endocrine abnormalities has personally proven that being a brothel woman is the most ideal career to treat this disease. Why? Because of Empress Dowager Hu's ever-famous saying: "It is better to be a prostitute than to be a queen." Gao Wei, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, grew up in such a family. The genes of the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty flowed in his blood. Every emperor was capable of extreme perversion and madness, and most of them died suddenly and inexplicably within a short period of time. His mother was also a strange woman with endocrine disorders. At this point, it is not difficult for us to understand what Gao Wei did. . To put it simply, looking at the family history of the Gao family in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is obvious that this family has a history of serious mental illness, and Queen Mother Hu is not a normal woman. In comparison, Gao Wei is already very normal. Gao Wei is not only very normal, but also a rare type of infatuated person. It can even be said that he is infatuated to the point of perversion. I have already mentioned how good Gao Wei is to Miss Xiao Lian. Throughout the ages, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a man like him who ignores everything in the world and only sees beauty. And he is not only infatuated, but also broad-minded. Gao Wei was really amazed by the infinite beauty of Xiao Lian's "jade body", and felt that if only he could see such beauty that had been rare for thousands of years, it would be a blasphemy to God's gift to mankind, so he asked Miss Xiao Lian to ** * Her body is so bumpy that any man will get a nosebleed when looking at it. It gives those who want to see the magic of heaven and earth a golden opportunity. As long as they spend a lot of money to buy a ticket, they can enter the temple and take a closer look at Miss Xiao Lian. The beauty and body. This should be regarded as the originator of striptease, reality shows, body art and even Japanese AV films, right? Therefore, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty was actually a mentally disturbed young man or an infatuated and perverted young man who originated from the family's mental illness gene.
The laws of modern civilized society stipulate that people without capacity for civil conduct (people who are under the legal age or mentally ill and cannot control themselves, etc.) do not need to be responsible for what they do, so why should we be so harsh and curse someone who has been dead for two thousand years? That poor young man named Gao Wei? Do you want him to be accused of being a womanizer and ruining his country? As for Feng Xiaolian, he was even more unjust than Gao Wei. The previous introduction of Xiao Lian growing up in the palace also shows how perverted and mentally ill the Northern Qi royal family was. Moreover, the entire social atmosphere at that time was based on prostitution. Therefore, the national educational institutions began to treat people under such conditions. People like Miss Xiao Lian carry out enlightenment education. Xiao Lian is not a genius, nor is she the reincarnation of a god. All her understanding of the world comes from the narrow education in the palace. The emperor is her heaven, and making the emperor happy is the highest career they prepare for throughout their lives. When the emperor Gao Wei came to visit her one day, she just followed the knowledge she gained meticulously and tried her best to make Gao Wei forget to leave. This can only show that Xiao Lian is actually a very good student. If she were placed in the current university, she might be able to become the president of the student union. As for her influence on the outcome of the decisive battle between Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, it can only be said that it was the failure of the national education system of Northern Qi at that time. Xiao Lian has received professional training on how to please men since she was a child. No one has taught her what politics is, what war is, what "beauties are a disaster", and what a sinner is. So everything she did was an expression of her truest feelings, but the man she met was Gao Wei, a man who was so infatuated and perverted. However, there are indeed too few men who can be as infatuated as Gao Wei. Therefore, although the love between Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian seems to be somewhat harmful to the country and the people from our perspective, when we look at Gao Wei's specific family environment and genetics and the stupid people provided by the Northern Qi Dynasty for Xiao Lian From an educational point of view, we actually have no reason and should not blame them. After all, a country does not provide its people with a fair opportunity to receive education, and it has no right to blame any behavior of people like Xiao Lian who cannot get a fair education. No matter what things Gao Wei and Feng Xiaolian did, the love between them was truly rare and pure.
