It is true that all the emperors in China were lewd, but there was also an emperor who was famous for his longevity and womanhood. This is Liang Wudi Xiao Yan.
According to Liang's history, he broke his room 50 years ago and spent 12 years in prison. Xiao Yan never shares a room with a woman. If he dies at the age of 86, he hasn't touched a woman for nearly 40 years.
Is Liang Wudi really a womanizer for forty years? Can you believe it? If so, what is the truth about his abstinence? This is an old problem, but it needs a new explanation.
According to historical records, Xiao Yan was a master of martial arts and literature, and he was indeed a rare emperor with both civil and military skills in the history of China.
Xiao Yan's nicknames were Lian Er and Lian A. He was born in 464 AD and died in 549 AD at the age of 86. Like Emperor Qianlong, he was a rare longevity emperor in ancient China. As the founding emperor of Song, Qi, Liang, Xiao Yan's wisdom and talent were extraordinary. History books say that people are born strange, with two hip bones, a bulge on the top, and words on the right hand saying martial arts.
It is said that Xiao Yan, who is in his early twenties, once worked under Minister Wang Jian. Wang Jian knows physiognomy. Seeing Xiao Yan's face, he said that Xiao Lang will be a waiter within 30 years, which is expensive.
Sure enough, in the last year of Xiao Yan's thirty years, that is, when he was 39 years old, Xiao Baorong Zen, the emperor of Qi, was located in him, and the capital was still located in Jiankang. In fact, Xiao Baorong did not give up. He was completely forced by Xiao Yan.
After the siege of Taicheng, Xiao Yan planned to slay Xiao Baojuan, the bad king of the East, and kill five of the seven sons of Qi Ming Emperor Xiao Luan. One escaped to the Northern Wei Dynasty in disguise without killing, and the other was dumb and useless. Xiao Baorong, who could be helped up temporarily, was not afraid, but was killed shortly after meditation.
Xiao Yan is a celibate and doesn't share a room with women. What happened to those women in the harem? Historically, except for your concubine Ding Lingguang who stayed in Beijing, all the other concubines were driven out by Xiao Yan to live with their separated sons.
The seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards of the ancient emperor were mostly dissolute men except those who died before they reached adulthood. Many people think that Xiao Yan is a good emperor and valuable.
In fact, Xiao Yan has been deified, or some modern scholars are reversing his conviction. In fact, Xiao Yan was also an absurd emperor. At that time, China was divided into north and south. Against the background of strong in the south and weak in the north, Xiao Yan made many northern expeditions, but never defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty and recovered lost ground.
At that time, the northern forces were once divided and leaderless. If Xiao Yan is such a wise monarch as Qianlong, it is no problem to unify China with the power of the Southern Dynasties, and there is no need to wait until the emergence of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty 50 years later. Xiao Yan not only failed to become emperor himself, but also made multiple farce such as becoming a monk, and his family style also made him a mess.
After Xiao Yan became emperor, the harem's fornication seemed impatient. Although there is no record of 30 women getting lucky overnight, the situation is also very serious because Zhao Zai just became emperor. It can be said that she is as dizzy as Hou Xiaobaojuan in the East, and she is feasting all day.
The emperors of the Southern Dynasties were extravagant and corrupt. According to the History of Qi Nan, there are many beautiful women in Dong Xianhou's harem, among which Pan Yuer is the most beloved. At that time, in order to please Pan Fei, Xiao Baojuan overhauled the palace and decorated the hall of Yuewutang, his residence, in an ultra-luxurious way. The path in Pan Yuer is paved with pure gold floor carved with lotus ornaments, which is called "Lotus" step by step.
According to textual research, the custom of foot-binding in the savage space of China ancient women's northern cinema is to imitate Pan Yuer's three-inch golden lotus.
When Xiao Yan became emperor, he didn't have the courage to unify the six countries by Qin Shihuang and Ying Zheng, but he learned from Ying Zheng's practice of collecting the harem beauties of the six countries, moved his residence to the place where Xiao Baojuan played, and robbed Xiao Baojuan of all the harem beauties.
Here is a very fragrant story. I heard that Pan Yuer is the most beautiful, and Xiao Yan has been coveted for a long time, hoping to keep it for himself. Now when the emperor will not let Pan Yuer go. General Elvis Presley felt that something was wrong and remonstrated with ZSZSZSZ, saying that Pan Yuer was not a good woman, but a scourge. If someone dies in this incident, he will be afraid to leave it, and Xiao Yan will have to strangle Pan Yuer.
Later, Xiao Yan took a fancy to Yu Fei, the second beauty in Xiao Baojuan's harem. Fan Yun, the chief of staff, hurriedly advised him not to behave in such a way, saying that Yu Fei was not a good woman, and was confused by Qi Dong, which was quite harmful to politics. In the prime of life, Xiao Yan was lewd and didn't listen at all. Later, Elvis advised him to stop.
But Xiao Yan still doesn't let go of other women in Xiao Baojuan's harem. Everything she likes is in her arms.
Among the women around Xiao Yan, besides the original emblem, at least seven women have given birth to him: Guidi Ding Lingguang, Wu Jinglian, Dong Shi, Chongshi, Xiurong Ruan Lingbi, Ge Shi and so on. Among them, Wu Jinglian and Ruan are women in Xiao Baojuan's harem. The two women also gave birth to two sons for him, the second filial piety and the seventh Xiao Yi.
This filial piety, in addition to his romantic life, also told two stories of grave robbery, which are mentioned here by the way.
It turns out that Xiao Zong is Xiao Baojuan's posthumous son, and Wu Jinghui gave birth to this son seven months after becoming a woman in Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan has always regarded filial piety as his own son, carefully cultivated it, and entrusted it with an important task, occupying both his wife and the son of man. But when Xiaozong was fifteen or sixteen, Wu Jinghui told his son the secret.
Xiaozong didn't believe that his father was Xiao Baojuan, so he stole Xiao Baojuan's grave, dug up the bones, and shed blood to recognize his relatives. The forty-ninth biographies of Liang Shu are as follows: However, there is still no self-confidence. It is said that the blood of the living drains the bones of the dead, and the dead are father and son. Comprehensive is Qi Dong unconscious tomb, bones, blood test.
Filial piety still didn't believe it, but also brutally killed an irrelevant person and conducted a blood drop test to see the similarities and differences of the results. After proving that he and Xiao Baojuan are father and son, Xiao always has second thoughts. Since then, he often has different ambitions and offered to serve in remote places that others don't want to go.
Ping six years, Liang Northern Expedition, appointed Xiaozong as the commander in chief, in Xuzhou. As a result, two ambitious Xiaozong made a secret pact with the Northern Wei Dynasty, abandoned the army and defected. Liang Jun suffered a crushing defeat, and the Northern Expedition suffered a crushing defeat. After Xiaozong entered Wei, he claimed to be the son of Xiao Baojuan after Qi Shi, and was renamed Xiao Zan. ZSZSZSZ was so angry that he died. Although he was ashamed, he refused to admit the truth and cried that Xiaozong was his own son. What manager Xiao says is crazy.
Everyone laughs at it behind its back. Some people have called for the official position of Xiaozong to be cut off and the surname Xiao to be banned. But soon Xiao Yan wrote a letter, which restored everything of Xiaozong. Xiaozong was buried in Wei after his death, but he didn't give up or forget this son. In the fourth year of Datong, Xiao Yan sent someone to rob the tomb and took back Xiao Zong's bones. With a gift from the prince, he was buried in the Xiao family cemetery in Danyang City, Jiangsu Province today.
Xiao Baojuan belongs to the same family, and the dispute between Qi and Liang is actually a family feud. However, the most shameful place is not stealing other people's country, and then stealing their wives and daughters, but the incest of the Xiao family, and he almost died of incest himself.
As the saying goes, fish begins to stink at the head. Xiao Yan is so dissolute that his family naturally sees it. Rising and falling is the next effect.
Xiao Yan * * * gave birth to seven sons and eight daughters. Xiao Yan's branch, after he became emperor, his brothers and sons, even his daughter, did many bad things. Worst of all, Xiao Yuyao, the eldest daughter of Xiao Yan, committed adultery with her own uncle, namely Xiao Hong, Xiao Yan's half-brother, and became husband and wife.
Worried that things would be exposed, Xiao Yuyao went her own way and conspired with Xiao Hong to kill her father. After the plan was completed, Xiao Hong became emperor and she became queen. Xiao Yuyao personally arranged the murder and arranged the imperial secretary on duty to hide the knife and assassinate. The result was unsuccessful and the assassin was caught red-handed.
Vaguely, Xiao Yan knew it was Xiao Yuyao and Xiao Honggan, but he kept it a secret, thinking it was a dirty linen in public. Not only did Xiao Hong not die, but during his serious illness, Xiao Yan went to see him personally.
At this point, everyone should be able to distinguish the emperor Xiao Yan.
So, is ZSZSZSZ really a womanizer for forty years? If so, why? Historians usually think that Xiao Yan was obsessed with Buddhism after he was 50, so he was celibate. Things will never be so simple. The youngest daughter, Princess of the Great Wall, was born in his fifties. According to health records, Xiao Yan didn't break his room until he was 59. By this time, Xiao Yan had been a Buddhist for many years.
In the past, such an old man broke his heart for physiological and health reasons, and it could not be caused by Buddhism. This was actually revealed by Xiao Yan himself.
There is a saying in Xiao Yan's Ye Jingfu: He broke his room and didn't live in the same room with his servants for more than 40 years. When I was a little evil, I asked the provincial teacher about Yao Bodhi's illness. The cloud, Cheng is caused by eating too much. Answer Liu Chengzhi's cloud, I am a piece of cloth, I am sweet and fat. Officials are used to eating clouds in Liu Chengzhi, so he must eat them today. Yao Bodhi smiled and shook his head. Only Bodhi knows that there are too many rooms in the official room, so I told you.
It can be seen that Xiao Yan suffered from illness after becoming emperor. At first, I thought it was caused by eating too much delicious food. Later, Yao Bodhi judged that it was because women played too much and had too much sex, that is, too many atria, so it was the cause.
The emperor's attitude towards women is very similar to that of Liu Ao in the Han Dynasty. Peony flowers die, ghosts are romantic. Judging from Xiao Yan's early indulgence, it was not vulgar. He believed in Taoism in his early years and regarded sex as a health care project. After being an emperor for several years, he converted to Buddhism, but changed to a vegetarian diet and did not avoid sex, still lusting after women.
In this way, you don't eat well, but you cook a lot. It is strange that you are happy without becoming an empty shell. Xie Chen, Kong and others suggested stopping vegetarianism and returning to a normal royal diet, but they were not accepted.
Immortality is the wish of all emperors. In this case, Xiao Yan chose the latter.
Zhao Yiwu, a professor of Chinese Department in jiaying university, Guangdong Province, believes that Xiao Yan began to know how to return, eat vegetables and leave the room from the Buddhist precepts that removed two obstacles. In the final analysis, for health reasons, the so-called walking walker is a new way to seek longevity.
This view is very reasonable. This is the original reason why Xiao Yan has not been close to women for 40 years. Sure enough, but after sex and not killing, his health problems were solved and his brain was not dizzy. In Xiao Yan's own words, there is no obstacle to self-defense and evil desires. Apart from these two obstacles, I have a little clearer consciousness and will realize it after reading the internal and external classics.
The emperor has the privilege of being the beauty of the world. Xiao Yan hasn't approached a woman for forty years. Don't talk about the real situation of modern scholars, even people at that time may not know. As I said before, in the past, people as old as Xiao Yan broke their atria and ventricles for physiological and health reasons, which could not have been caused by Buddhism at first. This, Xiao Yan also admitted.
But what are the physical and health reasons? Women often say that flirting with men is not a good thing, except him. From this point of view, as an emperor, if ZSZSZSZ really hasn't had sex for 40 years, it's the problem of the lower body. To put it directly, it means that sexual function is failing and there are obstacles, rather than being obsessed with Buddhism. After giving birth to her youngest daughter, Princess Great Wall, Xiao Yan, who is already in her fifties, had an excessive sexual life, and even the aphrodisiac didn't work.
This is not a wild guess. As can be seen from what was said in Ye Jingfu, Bodhi, who discovered this secret medicine at that time, prescribed a pill. It is conceivable that this pill will not be a general tonic, but has the effect of strengthening yang and strengthening the body. However, the number of diseases caused by taking medicine has increased so much that the four evils cannot be cured. Evidently, Xiao Yan's evil is not a universal problem. The author speculates that poor sexual function and prostatitis may be the most taboo impotence for men.
Xiao Yan knew that he was dying, so he simply became a monk, became an incorruptible emperor, and lived a long life, so he didn't touch women until he died. This is probably the original truth of Xiao Yan's abstinence, and it is also a new explanation that he suddenly changed his faith, abandoned Taoism and believed in Buddhism in his fifties.
