The pickled emperor is the worst in history! This man was Emperor Taizong of Liao, the second emperor of the Liao Dynasty, who was famous for being made the only mummy in Chinese history after his death.
In 936, in order to gain military support, Shi Jingyao, a traitorous minister of the Later Tang Dynasty, colluded with the Khitan to eliminate the Later Tang and establish the Later Jin at the expense of ceding the Twelve Prefectures of Yanyun.
In addition to ceding the Twelve Prefectures of Yanyun, Shi Jingyao also recognized Yelü Deguang as his righteous father and became the famous "Emperor Er" at that time.
The emperor heard that his father loved Central Plains cuisine, so he sent two imperial cooks with the highest cooking skills to Yelü Deguang, these two imperial cooks were originally a pair of masters and apprentices, the master was called Lin Huzi, and the apprentice was called Wei Sandao, and the two of them came to the Liao Kingdom with trepidation and made a royal feast.
After tasting it, Yelü Deguang said angrily, "This is completely different from the taste of the Zhongyuan Imperial Feast I have eaten, and I pulled it out and cut it." ”
This Wei SanDao was also a clever one, and immediately threw himself on his knees and said, "The vegetables and meat produced in the Central Plains and the Liao Kingdom are different, so there will be differences." ”
Thinking that it was also reasonable, Yelü De said, "My Liao kingdom is rich in products, and I will give you three months to improve it, and if the widows are not satisfied, they will not spare you." ”
The two said yes and finally made a dish that satisfies Yelü Deguang within three months.
In 947, Shi Jingyao's son succeeded to the throne, declared that he "called Sun not a subject", tore up the agreement with Daliao, and Yelü Deguang was furious and attacked Later Jin, destroying the Later Jin state.
I thought of setting up a capital in Kaifeng, but I didn't expect that the Liao army was brutal, which caused a strong resistance from the Han people, and seeing that the Liao army was getting smaller and smaller, Yelü Deguang had to turn around and go back.
Unexpectedly, the summer of that year was particularly hot, and everyone in the Liao Country was accustomed to the cold north, and such a hot weather caused many soldiers to suffer from heat diseases.
Yelü Deguang is also no exception, but he likes women's sex, and he seeks pleasure every day, which leads to a violent onset of heat and even a whimper for his life.
When Empress Shulu heard of her son's death, she was devastated and preached that "to live to see people, to die to see corpses", which stumped the ministers of the Liao State, and in the hot summer, the corpse could not be preserved, even if she did not sleep and quickly and whipped, it would take a month to reach the Liao Kingdom, and by then the corpse had already rotted and stinked, becoming a pile of white bones.
At this time, the imperial chef Wei Sandao proposed a method, that is, to make the emperor into a "羓".
The nomadic people in the north like to eat beef and mutton, and when it is hot in the summer, they will clean the internal organs of the beef and mutton, and then sprinkle thick salt inside and out, making a "羓" that will not rot, but it is unheard of to make the emperor into a "羓".
But there was no other way, so the Guoshi made the decision and did it.
Wei San knife took the meat cutting knife, three times five divided by two to dispose of Yelü Deguang's body clean, and buried it in a special salt bucket to seal, Yelü de Guang's "Emperor Yan" was made and transported back to the Liao Kingdom.
Empress Shulu scolded and reprimanded, "Whoever came up with such a shady idea, I will kill the head." But looking back and thinking calmly, I found that there seemed to be no other good way to keep his son's body except this method. He also posthumously awarded Wei Sandao the title of Sanpin official.
However, from then on, the emperor of the Liao State no longer dared to scold the chef at will, and Wei Sandao also became a legend in the chef's world.
Yerushalayim also became the only emperor in history to be famous for being mummified after his death
