There are abundant classics in Chinese history, but the poor books are always destroyed by war and turmoil. During the Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, he compiled books from all over the world and collected more than 33,000 volumes. However, with the turmoil between the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, by the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were only more than 3,000 volumes of books left in the government in Jiangnan.

In the early years of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, society was relatively stable. Emperor Wu of Liang and his son attached importance to culture, so they asked the world to offer books. The capital Jiankang collected more than 80,000 volumes of books.

Emperor Wu of Liang was an emperor who highly praised culture. His sons were as knowledgeable as their father, and they were all gentle and kind as great scholars.

During the Three Kingdoms, there was a saying of "Three Caos", which refers to Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Although they had the status of emperors and kings, they also had extremely high cultural attainments.

During the Southern Dynasties, there was also the term "Four Xiaos", referring to Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, his three sons, Prince Zhaoming, Xiao Tong, Emperor Jianwen of Liang, and Xiao Yi, Emperor Yuan of Liang.

Emperor Wu of Liang was a long-lived emperor. He had eight sons, among which the eldest son Xiao Tong was appointed as the crown prince very early, but he died after years of hardship and his father died. Later, his third son Xiao Gang succeeded as the crown prince.

Why didn't it be passed on to the second son? Because his second son Xiao Zong is said to be the posthumous son of Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty in the former dynasty, and was not the biological son of Emperor Wu of Liang.

Xiao Yi was the seventh son of Emperor Wu of Liang. He was named King of Xiangdong and served as the governor of Jingzhou.

Unfortunately, although he was a prince, he suffered a blow in his life when he was a teenager.

Xiao Yi was born with a talented and a genuine academic master, and he was very diligent, so diligent that it was jealous.

How hard did he study? He could not put down the book until midnight every day, and even asked the waiter to read to himself when he was sleeping.

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, and I had to read at night for a long time, so my eyes were definitely not good. In addition, Xiao Yi was very hardworking, so he stayed up late for a long time and did not exercise, so he fell seriously ill.

The father, Emperor Wu of Liang, felt distressed when he saw his son being sick, so he quickly found the best doctor and gave him medicine himself. Unexpectedly, he used the medicine too hard and blinded one of the children's eyes.

Xiao Yi was blind from then on, and his brothers were friendly and kind. Although he was not clear, he would still secretly discriminate against him. Especially his younger brother, Xiao Ji, was the youngest son and was most favored by his father. He often laughed at the seventh brother as a one-eyed dragon because he was the youngest son.

Therefore, regardless of qualifications or appearance, Xiao Yi knew that he would never inherit the throne, so he devoted himself to academic research and studied hard.

Xiao Yi's poems are well written, his calligraphy is first-class, and his paintings are excellent. He was called the "Three Wonders" by people at that time. He wrote an article "The Lotus Picking Fu". Those light words and lively descriptions are amazing when read now.

The fu also records a folk song at that time, "The Jasper Little Family Girl, Come to Marry the King of Runan", which is also the origin of the idiom "The Jasper of Little Family".

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi studied hard, but married a wife with an inappropriate personality.

Xiao Yi's wife is Xu Zhaopei. Xu Zhaopei is a descendant of the general. She is bold and unrestrained. She doesn't like studying, but she likes to drink. She has bad alcohol tastes. She always gets drunk (somewhat is a bit like Hualien). She vomits when she drinks too much, and often vomits Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi is a scholar who is studying. How could he tolerate his drunken wife? He gradually became alienated from Xu Zhaopei.

Xu Zhaopei was also a fierce man. Seeing that her husband was not coming, she simply started to torture him.

She deliberately put on half of her face and ran to her husband to sway you with one eye? Isn’t it that my mother also put on half of her face, isn’t it worthy?

Xiao Yi was so angry that he simply broke off contact with his wife. But Xu Zhaopei is not a vegetarian, which concubine you are close to? I will go to see which concubine to ask about her well-being and touch the details. If this concubine is pregnant, I'm sorry, I'll kill her mother and son!

The ancestor of the palace fighting scenes!

In addition to breaking Xiao Yi's back, Xu Zhaopei also cuckolded him. Not only did she have an affair with the monk, she also seduced Xiao Yi's handsome follower Ji Ji Jiang. Ji Ji Jiang was frightened. He said with emotion, "Mens are still passionate!"

Therefore, the couple left behind the two idioms "Jade in Little Family" and "Mens" in history, and it is not a waste of the couple.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Xiao Yi quickly learned what his wife did. He looked in the mirror and looked at the endless grassland above his head, extremely angry!

Is it tolerable, who can't bear it?! He is already out of anger!

So, Xiao Yi did a big thing!

The honest scholar's way of doing things is really different. Xiao Yi did not divorce or died. Instead, he wrote down his wife's behavior with others in his own brilliant pen, and copied it into a flyer, which made the palace full of people!

Everyone in the palace was shocked and there was still someone doing this?!

Later, Xu Zhaopei poisoned Xiao Yi's beloved concubine Wang to death, and their only son drowned in the army. Xiao Yi then forced Xu Zhaopei to jump into the well and commit suicide. When his wife died, Xiao Yi still hated her and wrote an article specifically for her, titled "The Slut's Autumn Thoughts"...

Xiao Yi not only likes creation and research, but also likes to collect. His father collected books in Jiankang, and he also collected books in Jiangling City where the festival was stationed. In the end, Jiankang collected 80,000 volumes of books and Jiangling collected 70,000 volumes of books. It can be said that all the cultural classics from ancient China to the Liang Dynasty were all covered by the Xiao family’s father and son.

If the world is peaceful, although Xiao Yi's behavior is a bit artistic, he will definitely leave a great reputation in the history of Chinese culture like his father and brother.

Unfortunately, the clouds are easy to dissipate and the glass is crisp. Xiao Yi's father was foolish in his later years and recruited Hou Jing, a rebel general from the Northern Dynasties. It was this Hou Jing that he launched the worst rebellion in the history of the Southern Dynasties, basically trampling the wealthy land of Jiangnan into ruins.

Hou Jing led the rebels south to siege the capital Jiankang. Emperor Wu of Liang hurriedly ordered the sons to serve the king. But a strange thing happened. His gentle and hypocritical sons not only did not try their best to save their father, but instead started to kill each other.

Because they each saw hope and the hope of inheriting the throne.

The son could not count on him, and Hou Jing's rebels quickly captured Jiankang. They occupied the palace, burned, killed, looted, and stripped the scholars and women naked, doing all kinds of evil. Jiankang, the largest and most prosperous city in the world at that time, suddenly became a hell on earth.

Emperor Wu of Liang was eighty-six years old at that time. Although he was defeated, his power was still there. So he ordered Hou Jing to come to the palace to meet the king. Hou Jing was originally a vicious martial artist, and Emperor Wu of Liang had become the object in his palm at this time.

Hou Jing brought five hundred soldiers with him, and was fully armed, carrying a knife and holding the tip of his head, and came to the hall viciously.

However, when Hou Jing saw the old emperor sitting upright on the throne, he suddenly became cowardly for no reason.

He was originally a winner and a usurper, and now he controls the life and death of this old man.

But his legs were shaking violently, and he couldn't even speak smoothly for a moment. He knelt on the ground like an ordinary minister.
