Xiao Daocheng (AD 423- 482), the Emperor of Qi, was born in Lanling (now Yicheng Town, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province) in the East China Sea. His ancestors moved to the south of the Yangtze River due to the Yongjia Rebellion and became Nanlanling (now northwest of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province).

People. After being called Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao Shi of Lanling was also a low-ranking scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and had the same social status as Liu in the Liu and Song Dynasties. When Xiao Daocheng's father, Xiao Chengzhi, was in Song Wendi, he was the champion general and the satrap of Nantai Mountain. When Xiao Daocheng was a teenager, he studied Confucian classics under the then Confucian master Lei Cizong. 16 years old, led the army to war and made outstanding achievements. Emperor Song Ming killed his nephew and made himself independent. He appointed Xiao Daocheng as the general of the right army, led the guards to guard the imperial army, and was ordered to defeat Liu Zifang, the satrap of Huiji who opposed Ming Di. In the second year of Taishigong (AD 466), Xue Andou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, rose up and colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty, defeating the Song Dynasty generals Zhang Yong and Shen Youzhi. Later, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty entered Huaibei area. Xiao Daocheng was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army, looking for vanguard troops to protect Huainan in Huaiyin (now Huai 'an, Jiangsu). Later, he was promoted to be the governor of Yanqing and Hebei and the secretariat of Zhou Nan. There were less than 1000 people in Huaiyin town in early Xiao Daocheng. During his four or five years in Huaiyin, he took in Yuan Chongzu, Yuan Rongzu, Liu Sangfu, Liu, Cui Zusi and Cui. These people all had private soldiers in the Qing and Xu areas, and their strength became stronger and stronger. There are even rumors among the people that Xiao Daocheng will be the son of heaven, which aroused the vigilance of Song Emperor Ming Di. In the seventh year of Taishi, Ming Di called Xiao Daocheng to Beijing, but his subordinates advised him to refuse. Xiao Daocheng thought that killing the imperial clan would lead to chaos in the Song family. It was the time to start a business, so I entered Jiankang and became a constant waiter and left-back prince.

The noble families recruited by Xiao Daocheng in Qingxu became the political basis for his later creation of Nanqi. The history books say: Taizu (Xiao Daocheng Temple. As a herdsman in Huaiyan, he began to take charge of his own business. He is personable, a northerner, and was moved by Sanqi. He is a noble family, Cui and Liu Wang. He first saw men and hoped for friendship.

Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty died, and ordered the generals, Shang Shuling, Jingzhou secretariat Cai Xingzong, Yunzhou secretariat Shen Youzhi and Zhong Zhong to lead the troops, and Shangshu's right servant shot him as the champion. Xiao Daocheng was recommended for his personal relationship with Chu Yuan. He was appointed as the general of the right guard and the captain of the guard, and enjoyed the right to appoint and dismiss officials of Huainan Prefecture. After he ascended the throne, he jointly managed the state affairs with Liu and Yuan charm. And Liu Pingxiu Fan, Xiao Daocheng was promoted to be an official of Sanshou, a corps commander, a general of Wuzhou Military Town in Southern Yan, Xu Yanqing and Hebei, and a secretariat of Southern Yan. Before long, he was promoted to be a servant of Shangshu, and he was called the Four big noble of the Imperial Court with Chu Yuan. He also had the power to command the imperial army and mobilize the troops of Huainan States. In July of the fourth year (AD 476), Wang Liu of Jianping and Xu Zhou, the southern secretariat of the Song Dynasty, took up troops in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) and led the army to a crushing defeat, which was even more famous. Liu Yu is very suspicious and wants to hurt him many times. Xiao Daocheng seeks to flee to Jiangbei to arise, and intends to let his confidants in Huainan harass the northern Wei border and create tension, so that he can get away from Jiankang. Later, he accepted the opinions of Yuan Rongzu, Liu and others, stuck to health and acted on camera.

In July of the fifth year of Hui Yuan, Xiao Daocheng used Liu Yu to be killed by Wang Jingze and Yang Yufu, threatened Yuan charm and Chu Yuan with his troops, made Liu Zhun emperor, and became Sheng Yuanming, taking the post of minister of history as the head of military and political power.

In December, Shen Youzhi, the secretariat of Jingzhou, sent a message to Jingzhou, accusing Xiao Daocheng of being good at governing the country. Yuan charm and Liu Bing, the new minister, also contacted Liu Yu, Buboxing and others, the court officials, seeking to punish Xiao Daocheng. Xiao Daocheng attacked and killed Yuan charm and others. The following year, Shen Youzhi's Jingzhou armed forces were destroyed and the king of Qi was sealed. In April of the third year of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 479), just as Emperor Wu replaced the Eastern Jin Dynasty to establish the Song Dynasty, under the threat of the army, he staged a farce of abdication, replacing Liu Zhun and establishing the Southern Qi regime.
