Historically, the position of the crown prince has often been accompanied by dangers, especially when the position of the prince has been occupied for a long time, and it is rare for a good person to die. Xiao Tongyi, the crown prince of Zhaoming, sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven for a total of thirty years, but unfortunately, he died young, leaving behind deep regrets.

Xiao Tong, as the prince of Zhaoming, was made the prince at a young age, which is closely related to his background. In the year he was born, his father, Xiao Yan, was preparing to raise an army, and when his father succeeded in obtaining the throne, he set his capital in Jiankang and re-established the Liang dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Tong was not only a rare young prince during his reign, but his existence was also closely related to the establishment of the Liang Dynasty.

After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he began to choose a prince for the Liang Dynasty, and Xiao Tong, as the eldest son, was undoubtedly the most ideal candidate. In the first year of the Heavenly Prison, Xiao Tong was made the crown prince at the age of two, which is a rare phenomenon.

Some people believe that Xiao Tong was made the crown prince in his early years, and his long-term stay in the position of the crown prince may have caused him to die a good death, but this matter is still controversial.

Xiao Tong has been loved by his father Xiao Yan since he was born, and at an early age, he showed a unique talent, not only in academics, but also in character.

Xiao Tong had a unique eye for literature, and he began to study the Four Books and Five Classics when he was three years old, and was able to memorize them by heart at the age of five, which shows his high talent in literature.

According to historical records, he also possessed magical abilities that he could never forget, and he was already famous before he was a minor.

Xiao Tong's love for literature began to manifest itself at an early age, whether it was at banquets or in daily life, he always had a brilliant pen, which amazed the literati present. At the age of ten, his lectures at the Shou'an Hall showed his literary talent.

When he first came into contact with punishment, he came across the scene of a prisoner being judged. After learning more about the case, Xiao Tong believed that the mistake made by this person did not require such a heavy punishment, so he took the initiative to help the prisoner reform himself.

As he grew older, the prince organized the scholars of his time to write a famous work.

Xiao Yan was very supportive of the prince's interest, and when Xiao Tong was sixteen years old, he arranged for the well-known scholars of the time to enter the East Palace to teach him. At this time, Xiao Tong was not only deeply loved by Xiao Yan, but also won the admiration of the people.

His name of kindness will be preached throughout the world.

Xiao Tong knew that the most taboo thing in a dynasty was extravagance, but after the Liang Dynasty settled down, people gradually relaxed their vigilance, and extravagance gradually rose. Seeing the current social situation, Xiao Tong was deeply worried and decided to start from himself and play an exemplary role.

He wears simple clothes every day, orders not to make new clothes for himself, and insists on wearing old clothes even when attending large events.

When Xiao Tong dined, even with the emperor, he only ate two plates of meat at most, and the rest were vegetarian dishes, and this frugal behavior was appreciated by Xiao Yan. Xiao Tong's actions also led the people, and they began to start from themselves and carry forward the character of diligence and thrift.

Under the leadership of the crown prince, the Liang Dynasty was proud of its diligence and thrift, which played a huge role in the abundance of the treasury.

New Copy: The civil war of the Liang Dynasty broke out again, and the disasters brought by the war were so great that innocent people bore the brunt. The prince of the East Palace was deeply distressed, and immediately ordered charitable aid, sending food to the hungry people, and distributing the distribution materials in the middle of the palace to the people in need, so as to help them tide over the difficulties as much as he could.

Xiao Tong's previous outstanding performance made his popularity in the hearts of the people reach unprecedented heights. Even a hundred years after his death, people still have a positive opinion of Prince Zhaoming.

It was a common phenomenon that no matter what dynasty it was, any emperor expected to be as revered as Prince Shaki.

Although there are many people who have mixed reviews of him, Prince Zhaoming is an exception, and everyone praises him and deeply regrets his early death. In ancient times, one of the ways to commemorate a person was to build a temple.

Therefore, after Xiao Tong's death, Xiao Yan deliberately set up Wenxiao Temple to commemorate him.

After Xiao Tong's death, his son inherited the throne and posthumously named him Emperor Zhaoming, and in order to commemorate him, a large number of Zhaoming temples were also built. In addition, the worship of Prince Zhaoming continued during the Tang Dynasty, a phenomenon that is extremely rare in history.

Xiao Tong encountered problems when choosing a burial place for his mother, which led to the estrangement of the father-son relationship. Despite this, Xiao Tong, the crown prince of Zhaoming, was posthumously named Emperor Zhaoming, and his outstanding talents and contributions were admired.

Xiao Tong had great respect for his mother, so after her death, he decided to choose a piece of feng shui treasure for her. However, to his surprise, the feng shui master actually harbored malicious intentions.

After the prince bought the cemetery, he secretly told Xiao Yan that this land was not good for Xiao Yan. Ancient people believed in this, and Xiao Yan was already very old at that time, so he was even more taboo about these.

Although Xiao Yan didn't say anything, in his heart, this matter had been deeply imprinted.

After the wax goose incident, Xiao Yan's impression of the crown prince Xiao Tong changed greatly. Soon after Xiao Tong's mother was buried, Mr. Feng Shui suggested that he use his personal belongings to suppress the cemetery problem, so he secretly put the wax goose into his mother's tomb.

Xiao Yan was angry at the news that the crown prince had used witchcraft, and even wanted to deal with Xiao Tong immediately. Fortunately, the prime minister tried his best to dissuade the incident, so that the incident did not deteriorate further.

However, due to people's trust in the crown prince, Xiao Tong was deeply disturbed in his later years. This incident deepened the rift between them.

During a trip to the lake, the prince unfortunately drowned, and Xiao Tong's physical condition deteriorated after that, and finally died. Although what we know now is mainly in the history books, there is no doubt that the death of Prince Zhaoming was a major loss for the Liang Dynasty.

Whether in the past or now, the emperor's persistence and importance of power is beyond our comprehension. For them, the position next to the bed must not allow others to lie down peacefully.
