In the troubled times of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the dynasty was in decline, war was everywhere, and the fate of the country was in jeopardy.
Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande, was born to be honest and pure, with an out-of-the-box temperament. He did not like to seek power in the court, nor did he love the high position of the emperor. He was addicted to food. It is clearly recorded in history books that before the war, he had to overeat and eat until his belly was full before he dared to go into battle.
The army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty pressed on the border, and the besieging troops of Jinyang came to the city. The later master Gao Wei abandoned the city and fled hastily. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the entire army were desperate. In desperation, they forcibly knelt down and recommended him to ascend the throne in danger and proclaimed himself emperor to defend the city.
Others ascended the throne to manage the affairs of the government, arrange war and plan the world, but Gao Yanzong was the only one who held a barbecue in one hand and the imperial edict in the other, eating vaguely and dispatching troops and generals.
The enemy troops were pressing down on the city, and people were in panic. The city was full of laughter and laughter, and the whole process was joyful and farcical.
He reigned for only half a day, making him the shortest-lived emperor in history and the most lively and pure ordinary person in troubled times.
The whole story strictly follows the official history of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the fate of the Battle of Jinyang, half-day after ascending the throne, being defeated and captured, and finally being killed remains unchanged.
Underneath the laughter and noisy joyful farce, there is hidden the sadness of the collapse of the dynasty, and the helplessness and sincerity of the little people.
Half a day he was an emperor, his whole life he was gluttonous, half his life he was crazy, and his whole life he was sincere.
A ridiculous dream in troubled times, a way to spend the rest of your life in one breath.
