Xiao Yan joined forces with General Qi to attack Jiankang City that night, Xiao Baojuan heard the sound of the army breaking into the harem, and quickly slipped out from the north gate. The eunuch Huang Taiping slashed his knee with a knife, and he He fell to the ground and cursed: "Are you going to rebel, my slave?" Another eunuch Zhang Qi cut off his head without any explanation.
In 501 AD, Nankang King Xiao Baorong of the Southern Qi Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling. Later, Xiao Yan was appointed as Zuopu Shezhengdong General and led the army to attack Jiankang City. Qi Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan in Jiankang City watched Xiao Yan leading the army approaching Jiankang City. Not panicking at all, when he heard the sound of drums outside the city, he actually put on a big red robe and climbed to the roof of Jingyang Tower to watch the excitement. The stream of arrows almost wounded his legs and feet. At this time, Xiao Yan issued a message to Jiankang to attack Xiao Baojuan.
This memorandum lists Xiao Baojuan's crimes: he is a thief of the people, who destroys the virtues of the king and indulges in evil. Xiao Baojuan had a cruel personality when he was young. When the old emperor was critically ill, he did not show sadness, but instead showed joy. The old emperor's coffin has not yet been buried, and when I look at Xiao Baojuan, there is no trace of sadness at all. The joyful entertainment, entertainment and banquets are extraordinary. Favoring the treacherous and sycophantic, regardless of the life and death of the people, they are so stubborn that they even make people and gods angry. The message finally advised the officials under Xiao Baojuan to see the current situation clearly and abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. This will ensure that you will always enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries. On the contrary, if you persist in your stubbornness and disobey the king's master, you will be punished without mercy when the army arrives. This is the so-called "Fire Plateau, Zhi orchid disappears together".
This appeal really worked. At this time, Xiao Baojuan still listened to the treacherous words: the reason for the defeat was that the ministers were careless and the siege could not be lifted, so he suggested killing them all. Xiao Baojuan is ready to kill again. Wang Guozhen, the general guarding the city, saw Xiao Yan's message and heard that Xiao Baojuan was preparing to go on a killing spree. I thought to myself, I don’t want to wait for you to kill me, I might as well kill you. So the first scene appeared, in which the eunuchs Huang Taiping and Zhang Qi were jointly ordered to launch a coup and Xiao Baojuan was killed. Then Wang Zhenguo sent Xiao Baojuan's head to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan led the army into Jiankang City.
Xiao Yan, as we know, is Emperor Wu of Liang, the emperor who believed in Buddhism. His crusade against Xiao Baojuan left us with an allusion with Buddhist principles, called "persistence in enlightenment". The meaning of this word is very clear, it means a person who insists on making mistakes without realizing it.
