During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Qi and Southern Liang were both established by the Lanling Xiao clan. But in fact, in the earlier Southern Song Dynasty, the Xiao family was also a prominent descendant, and the stepmother of Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty was Xiao Wenshou of the Lanling Xiao family.
After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Wenshou's father Xiao Zhuo and younger brother Xiao Yuanzhi were posthumously named the founding marquis of Fengyang County, and passed on to Xiao Yuanzhi's eldest son Xiao Siyan. Although Xiao Sihua was born in a descendant family, he also fought on the battlefield many times and went out of the town.
As the eldest son, Xiao Huikai is the future marquis heir of Xiao Sihua.
Xiao Huikai's real name is Hui Kai, he has a grace and bearing when he was young, dabbling in literature and history, although he has a good background, but his life is simple and simple. He started as a secretary, but his interests were different from others, and he didn't even talk to some colleagues for three years. Later, he was transferred to the prince's house, because his colleague Zhou Lang's interests were also different from the customs and they admired each other. Later, he turned to Shangshu Shuibu Lang, Shixing King Liu Junzheng Beifu main book, South Xuzhou Zhizhong engaged in history, Ruyin King Liu Hun's friend (staff), South Xuzhou Beijia, Zhongshu Shilang, Jiangxia King Liu Yigong's general Da Sima engaged in Zhonglang and other positions, and then transferred to the prince Zhongshuzi.
Liu Jun and Liu Hun mentioned here are the second and tenth sons of Emperor Wen of Song, respectively, and Liu Yigong is the younger brother of Emperor Wen. Later, the crown prince Liu Shao and Liu Jun ganged up to kill their father and seize the throne, and were overthrown by the third brother Liu Jun, the king of Wuling, who was Emperor Xiaowu.
During Xiao Huikai's tenure as a driver in South Xuzhou, Cao Tanchao in the west of the state was not convinced, Xiao Huikai was slightly insulted, Tan Chao said: We are all from a very low background, and we are all developed by relying on our own old ladies who have been married when this dynasty has not yet been established, what is there to boast about?Tan Chao's aunt and grandmother are the princesses of Liu Daolian, the king of Changsha.
As a result, Xiao Huikai became friends with Tan Chao because of this.
In the first year of filial piety (454), Xiao Huikai was transferred to the Yellow Gate Shilang. At that time, Xu Chongzhi, the general of Jiju, was deposed by He Yan in the service, and Xiao Huikai ignored He Yanzheng's favor and argued with him without flinching. He Yan was angry and ordered someone to **;Xiao Huikai also reasoned and asked for dismissal. Emperor Xiaowu was originally partial to He Yan, so he pushed down the water, then you can get out.
Xiao Siyan has always been respectful, and he didn't agree with this son's pursuit, but when he learned about it, he sighed, thinking that Zhou Lang had taken his son badly, so he beat Xiao Hui with 200 rods.
But perhaps Emperor Xiaowu also admired Xiao Huikai's character, and later reinstated as the prince's concubine.
Xiao Siyan died the next year, and Xiao Hui Kaiding resigned. Because his family is a good Buddha, he built four Buddhist temples: Zenoka Temple under Nangang on the south bank;The Chanxiang Temple of the old village house of Qu'a;Zentei Temple of the Kyokou Tomb Pavilion;The fiefdom of the Chanfeng Temple in Fengyang County.
After the mourning period, Xiao Huikai was appointed as Situ Zuo Changshi and was named the Marquis of Fengyang County. He used all the income of Fengyang County to support the monks in the temple, and did not distribute it to his own children.
In the second year of the Ming Dynasty (458), Xiao Huikai served as the emperor's younger brother Liu Xiumao, the king of Hailing, as the chief of Beizhong Lang, the general of Ningshuo, and the Taishou of Xiangyang, and did the affairs of Yongzhou Prefecture. He is good at politics, and any use of force in the mainland is suppressed and forbidden. Later, the prince Wu Jun Taishou Xin'an Wang Liu Ziluan's champion long history, Wu County affairs. It is normal for the local governor here to be named by the royal family, and it is normal for Xiao Huikai to be in charge of affairs as a **, after all, these two royal families were underage at that time.
Later, Emperor Xiaowu arranged for Xiao Huikai's sister to marry the emperor's younger brother Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, and his daughter to marry the prince, and the marriage expenses were as high as 20 million. Emperor Xiaowu then appointed Xiao Huikai as the internal history of Yuzhang, that is, the minister of Yuzhang, and allowed him to accumulate wealth wantonly. The problem was solved, and Xiao Huikai's reputation was also ruined.
Which prince did Xiao Huikai's daughter marry here?I didn't see it in the flip book, maybe it was really unloaded, but it is certain that the princes of Emperor Xiaowu were still little dolls at that time.
After Xiao Huikai was transferred to the imperial history of Zhongcheng, after taking office, all officials were afraid until the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty (464) transferred to the middle of the service, but Emperor Xiaowu issued an edict to praise him for "obeying the law and straightening the rope, not an authority", and let him reinstate the imperial history Zhongcheng.
In fact, Xiao Huikai's appointment in the imperial history is not without controversy. There are indications that he couldn't go on in the imperial history before, because when Zuo Cheng Liu Ji ** Qingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Daolong burned the treasury, by the way, Xiao Huikai did not correct it. Colleague Liu Yu also ** He is "not talent, not hope, not honor, not virtue".
Later, Xiao Huikai resigned due to his mother's funeral. In the same year, Emperor Xiaowu died, and the crown prince Liu Ziye ascended the throne. As a former prince's subordinate official, Xiao Huikai is also regarded as the descendant of the new emperor, and was awarded the title of holding the festival, supervising the military affairs of the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, the general of the auxiliary state, and the assassin of the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, but he did not take office. Soon changed the governor of Yining Erzhou Assassin History, holding the festival, auxiliary general, Yizhou Assassin History.
This time, Xiao Hui drove away. Passing through Jiangling, one of the sons of the late old cadre Ji Han set up a female music because he had an old friendship with Xiao Huikai. As a result, Xiao Huikai fell in love with a beautiful woman, couldn't ask for it, and wanted to exchange four female prostitutes, but Ji Gongzi just didn't agree. Xiao Hui was angry, grabbed Ji Gongzi and cut it, and robbed the beautiful prostitute, Shang Shu said that Ji Gongzi was a henchman of Liu Yixuan, the emperor's uncle who had been killed in a rebellion, and he was killed by him because he plotted against him and slandered the government. Emperor Xiaowu only made a meritorious contribution to Xiao Hui.
After Xiao Huikai took office, he made a wide range of contacts and eloquence, and told his staff and local scholars that he would collect the two counties of Qike and Yueshan as the interior, and then appease the barbarians, open up land, and collect taxes. Everyone who heard it said that the new assassin must have made a great contribution.
However, Xiao Huikai was often tortured and killed, which made the locals suspicious and resentful of him, calling him a "Crouching Tiger". His old friend Zhou Lang's grandson Zhou Hao was brought into Yizhou by him because he admired him, and he did not listen to his repeated advices. His father's old subordinate, Ji Shengzhen, was also punished for minor mistakes. said that it was a great achievement, but there was no shadow in the end.
Xiao Huikai has a good memory, giving alms to 3,000 monks at a time, and he didn't remember a name wrong afterwards.
In the first year of Jinghe (465), the situation changed abruptly: the new emperor Liu Ziye was killed!The emperor's uncle, Liu Yu, the king of Xiangdong, was proclaimed emperor, that is, Emperor Ming, changed to Yuan Taishi, added Xiao Huikai as the champion general and Pingxi general, and changed the governor to the governor.
But in the second year, Liu Ziye's third brother, Liu Zixun, the assassin of Jiangzhou in Jin'an, also proclaimed himself emperor on the spot, and received responses from all over the country, and Emperor Ming could control only the surrounding areas of the capital!
There are two days in the sky, the country has two monarchs, where does Xiao Huikai go?
In fact, even from the perspective of hindsight, whether it is following the crowd or following his heart, Xiao Huikai's choice is predictable. Emperor Xiaowu is his in-laws, and Emperor Ming is his what?Uncle of the in-laws?
Xiao Huikai convened his subordinates and made it clear that even if Liu Ziye is not in a thousand ways, and there are so many younger brothers, of course we must support the imperial system of Emperor Xiaowu, so this vote, I voted for Liu Zixun!
mentioned earlier that Xiao Huikai's daughter married the son of Emperor Xiaowu, so is it possible that she was married to Liu Zixun?
Think, no. Although Liu Zixun's wife and concubine have no exams, it is not clear from Xiao Huikai's words that Liu Zixun is his son-in-law. And Liu Zixun is only eleven years old;His younger brothers were certainly younger.
