Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty showed dementia in his early years, which relieved his brother Gao Cheng from his doubts. During the time his father and brother were in power, he had been mediocre and did not have much military merit. After his brother was murdered by his servant, it was surprising that it showed political and military talents. He not only made all the capable officers and generals submit, but also abolished Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and established himself as the first emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Gao Yang's character is extremely cruel and vicious. It is said that Gao Yang has a saw and a pot on the Jinluang Temple. Whenever he gets drunk, he kills people for fun. The maids and eunuchs are tragically killed by him every day. In the end, the relevant departments sent the prisoners sentenced to death to the palace for use in the killing. Later, the death row was not enough, so the prisoners who were being interrogated were filled up and called "for the imprisonment." Not only was it sent to the palace, but even when Gao Yang went on a tour, he would also follow his butt for backup. The prisoner was released as long as he did not die for three months.
When Gao Yang was young, the prime minister Gao Longzhi was rude to him. At this time, he remembered his hatred and ordered Gao Longzhi to be killed. And then still puzzled. He called the more than 20 sons of Gao Longzhi to the horse and asked the warrior to listen to his orders. Gao Yang tapped his horse whip on the saddle, and the warriors beheaded the sons of Gao Longzhi together, and their heads landed together. Princess Le'an married Cui Xian's son. Gao Yang once asked about the princess's life in her in-laws. Princess Le'an said: "The family respects me very much, but the mother-in-law doesn't like me very much." At this time, Cui Xian died of illness. Gao Yang ran to Cui Xian's house and asked Cui Xian's wife Li if she missed her deceased husband. Li replied, "We don’t want to miss the couple." After Gao Yang heard this, he pulled out his saber in silence and said, "Since I miss you, why not go with him?" Throw it out of the wall.

Xue's sister took the opportunity to drink with Gao Yang and begged Gao Yang to let his father be a Situ. Gao Yang was furious and said, "Situ is the middle of the court. This is an important official position, which you can get if you want?" After speaking, he saw Xue's sister into two pieces with a saw. Afterwards, Gao Yang remembered Xue and Gao Yue's past, so he cut off Xue's head and hid the bloody head in his arms to attend the banquet. After the banquet, he took it out and was still on the table. Everyone was shocked. After Gao Yang killed Xue, he dismembered Xue's body, using the leg bones as a pipa, playing and singing: "A beautiful woman is rare again." Then he was pulled by a cart to Gao Yang's body, and Gao Yang loosened his hair. Follow behind.
