China has experienced many dynasties in its history, and there was such a short-lived dynasty before, which only survived for more than 20 years.
This short-lived dynasty, although it existed for a short time, had six emperors.
At this time, some people will definitely be curious, just for more than 20 years of dynasty, can there be 6 emperors? This emperor's reign is too short.
When these 6 emperors reigned, what he did could be called a subversion of the three views, just like wife robbery, indiscriminate picking, and murder happened from time to time, which can be said to bring the darkest side of human nature to the extreme.
It is no exaggeration to say that every emperor in office is a demon-like existence. This is the famous beast dynasty Northern Qi in history.
Gao Huan is the founding emperor of Northern Qi, his personal ability can be said to be very strong, according to the evaluation of some scholars of him, his ability is comparable to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, but he has a special hobby like Cao Cao, that is, he loves people's wives.
After he overthrew the Eastern Wei dynasty, he took many concubines from the imperial palace, including two empresses, a princess, and even three princesses and many noble women.
And Gao Huan especially likes to collect noble ladies, such as Princess Guangping, Princess Rencheng and Princess Chengyang at that time, all of which were forcibly robbed by Gao Huan by various means.
Here is to mention that Princess Guangping's name is Zheng Dache, and she will appear in our story later.
During Gao Huan's reign, all the women he fancy were basically unable to escape his clutches, and they were all insulted and ravaged by him and forcibly possessed.
Although Gao Huan's absurdity seemed to satisfy a momentary desire, this long-term indulgence caused his body to be seriously overdrawn, so he died of illness within a few years.
But his absurd behavior created an absurd precedent for the Northern Qi Dynasty and his entire family.
After Gao Huan's death, his eldest son Gao Cheng succeeded to the throne.
After Gao Cheng took the throne, not only did he not learn his father's lessons, but what he did was even better.
When he was 14 years old, he fornicated Gao Huan's concubine room, which was the Guangping Princess Zheng Dache that Gao Huan forcibly possessed earlier
He even let this Princess Guangping give birth to a son for him, named Gao Run. This Gao Run is not an idle person, and he still shares a bed with his mother Zheng Dache until he is fourteen or fifteen years old.
And what Gao Cheng did was not only that, he once took a fancy to the minister Xue Zhen's wife Xue Shi, but Xue Shi would rather die, so Gao Cheng killed Xue Shi on the spot, and at the same time ordered people to behead Xue Zhen's family, such an operation is simply inhumane.
After that, he took a fancy to Li Zu'e, the wife of his brother Gao Yang, at the banquet, tricked her into tarnishing the imperial garden, and even did not shy away from exchanging experiences with Gao Yang, which was really extremely perverted.
Such a mediocre Gao Cheng was assassinated by a cook at the age of 29, and since then, the Northern Qi dynasty has entered the next stage of metamorphosis.
After Gao Cheng was assassinated, his younger brother Gao Yang succeeded to the throne.
Since Gao Yang inherited the throne, he has been obsessed with the wine pond meat forest. Like Gao Huan, Gao Yang also has a hobby, that is, drinking.
Some people may think that loving to drink is not a big deal, but Gao Yang does not drink well, and he will get drunk when he is in peace.
When others get drunk and have bad alcohol, they will go crazy at most. But Gao Yang is different, he likes to run naked after getting drunk.
Whether it was the heat of summer or the cold winter moon, as long as he was drunk, he would strip naked and run naked in the courtyard of the palace.
Even sometimes Gao Yang put on a belly pocket after getting drunk, smeared rouge gouache on his face, and whenever he was in high spirits, he would dress up as a woman and dance a striptease, the scene was unimaginable.
Some people may think that this preference is also a little perverted, and it doesn't get in the way.
But Gao Yang also has a hobby, that is, he likes to kill people after getting drunk. He once exchanged the tribute sent from various places for prisoners and slaves.
He kept prisoners in prison, and when he was interested, he killed them.
Once, after getting drunk, he ordered someone to tie up his mother-in-law and shoot his mother-in-law through her cheeks with a sword.
Gao Yang felt that this was not too enjoyable, so he let people whip his mother-in-law half to death.
Another time, when one of his loyal courtiers died, Gao Yang went to his home to mourn, and when he saw the loyal courtier's wife crying and crying, he suddenly drew a knife and pointed it at her and said, "Since you think of him so much, then I will send you to him." With that, he cut off her head in public and threw her outside the gate.
At a banquet, he took a fancy to one of his uncle's concubines, Xue Guifei, and snatched him over and took it for himself.
Later, at the banquet, Gao Yang thought that his uncle must miss Xue Guifei very much, so he cut off Xue Guifei's head and handed it to his uncle in public in the banquet hall.
Later, he sent someone to bring Xue Guifei's body to the hall, cut off Xue Guifei's thighs in public, made a pipa, played and sang in the hall, and sighed that it is difficult to find a beautiful person, such an emperor is really not dead enough for the common people to be angry, and maybe God can't stand it.
9 years after Gao Yang succeeded to the throne, he suddenly died violently, and at this point, the emperor of the beast came to an end.
Human bone pipa, jade body horizontal Chen, royal palace naked. You can imagine that these were actually the work of a generation of emperors.
After Gao Yang's death, his younger brother Gao Yan killed his own nephew in order to seize the throne and occupy the throne.
Perhaps because of the guilt of killing his own people with his own hands, Gao Yan died violently less than a year after he took the throne.
After Gao Yan's death, he was succeeded by his younger brother Gao Zhan.
Like his brother Gao Yan, the first thing Gao Zhan did after ascending to the throne was to kill his own nephew to avoid future troubles.
According to historical records, after Gao Zhan took the throne, he killed at least 4 nephews before and after, and ignored the imperial government all day, and also got a male pet to raise in the palace.
At the same time, Gao Zhan passed the throne to his 9-year-old son Gao Wei in order to enjoy himself every day.
This Gao Wei is even more strange, he himself feels accustomed to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, and wants to experience the life of a beggar, so he builds a street in the palace, and he plays a beggar in the street, and he is still happy about it.
At the same time, he also moved chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock to the court, and gave these animals official titles.
Gao Wei has a favorite concubine named Feng Xiaoli, and Gao Wei loves her very much.
Once, when attacking Northern Zhou, seeing that the gates of Northern Zhou were about to be breached, Gao Wei actually called a halt, on the grounds that he wanted Feng Xiaolian to see the siege.
By the time Feng Xiaomeri pretended to come out, Northern Zhou reinforcements had arrived, and the siege operation had failed.
Gao Wei believes that Feng Feng Xiaomeri's beauty cannot be enjoyed only by himself, and solo happiness is not as good as everyone's happiness.
So he let Feng Xiaomeri strip naked in public above the court, put on various alluring poses, let the civil and military officials appreciate, and at the same time asked the hundred officials for viewing fees, which is how the idiom "jade body Hengchen" came from.
Later, Northern Zhou attacked the city, and Gao Wei passed the throne to his 8-year-old son Gao Heng in order not to be the emperor of the dead state, and as a result, Northern Qi was destroyed not long after.
Thus ended an absurd dynasty that lasted only 28 years.
After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Zhan's wife Empress Hu took her daughter-in-law, who was Gao Wei's wife, and openly became a prostitute.
Looking at the various behaviors of the Gao clan, it is no wonder that some people think that the Gao clan has hereditary mental illness, because even normal people cannot do these animal behaviors, and it is no wonder that the Northern Qi Dynasty is considered a beast dynasty.
