He was a son of the Emperor Wucheng and Empress Hu, and was known as the Prince of Langye. In 571, during the reign of his older brother Gao Wei, he tried to seize power and killed Gao Wei's trusted official He Shikai and his allies. Gao Yan himself was killed after his army fled upon the arrival of the Jinyang army led by Hulü Guang. Some sources suggest he was killed by the powerful lady-in-waiting Lu Lingxuan, after a failed attempt to kill her.
