During its 23-year history, the dynasty was largely filled with instability, as after the death of the capable [[Emperor Gao of Southern Qi|Emperor Gao]] and [[Emperor Wu of Southern Qi|Emperor Wu]], Emperor Wu's grandson [[Xiao Zhaoye]] was assassinated by Emperor Wu's intelligent but cruel and suspicious cousin [[Emperor Ming of Southern Qi|Xiao Luan]], who took over as Emperor Ming, and proceeded to carry out massive executions of Emperor Gao's and Emperor Wu's sons and grandsons, as well as officials that he suspected of plotting against him. The arbitrariness of these executions was exacerbated after Emperor Ming was succeeded by his son [[Xiao Baojuan]], whose actions drew multiple rebellions, the last of which, by the general [[Emperor Wu of Liang|Xiao Yan]] led to Southern Qi's fall and succession by Xiao Yan's [[Liang Dynasty]]. ==Sovereigns of Southern Qi Dynasty (479-502)== {| class="wikitable" width="100%" |- bgcolor="#CCCCCC" !
