Bodhisattva Emperor: the Biography of Xiao Yan

In the troubled times of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Yan of Lanling rose to Yongzhou as a distant clan clan, controlled the floods and calmed the people, and secretly accumulated strength. When his brother died unjustly, he rose up in anger and led his righteous troops down the river eastward to kill the tyrant and conquer the east of the Yangtze River. He founded the country and built the Liang Dynasty, creating a prosperous age of Tianjian. He promoted the white-robed god general Chen Qingzhi, and his 7,000 powerful troops broke through the 100,000 northern cavalry, which was powerful in both the north and the south. He promoted civilized rule with light corvee and brought Jiangnan to the peak of the Southern Dynasty. However, Prince Zhaoming died young, worshiped Buddhism and abolished the government. He had three residences in Tongtai Temple and indulged the clan family. Eventually, Hou Jinglangzi was brought into the house. Hou Jingzhi's rebellion broke out, and the clan gathered troops to watch. Taicheng was trapped, and it was a hell on earth. The former founding hero was reduced to a prisoner, trapped in the Jingju Hall, recalling his life's merits and demerits, and eventually starved to death in Taicheng. From the lonely minister of the Southern Qi Dynasty to the founding emperor, from the prosperous Mingjun to the Bodhisattva emperor, Xiao Yan's life was the ultimate struggle between power and faith, the eternal tragedy of the collapse of the prosperous age, and the ultimate epitome of the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The imperial family was at war and the Northern Dynasties were coveting each other. Jiangzuo changed dynasties and the Chen Dynasty was peaceful. The Southern Dynasty finally exhausted its national power, paving the way for the unification of the North and the South.
