Bragging is the nature of men, because of bragging and death to break the family, provoke people to ridicule, ancient and modern abound, the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty super big flicker, the beginning of the god stick king, is one of the "leaders". So, what kind of person is Wang Shi? What are some hilarious things about him?
Regarding Wang Shi's birth year, origin, and early experience, the history books are as detailed as such, we only know that he was a god stick (demon thief) who started by preaching the evil devil's foreign path and the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and his main activities were in the area of Taishan County, Qingzhou.
Wang Shi was a god in the Qingzhou region, and many people were deceived by him
At that time, it was in the late stage of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and Qingzhou, as a strategic place at the junction of the north and the south, had been a place where soldiers and families had to fight for many years, and the war in the territory was not extinguished, and the people either fled to the death, and the latter was secretly living and living, and the situation was very desolate. This situation became worse when Qingzhou was occupied by Southern Yan (the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms regime, founded by the Xianbei murong clan and the founding emperor Murong De).
Southern Yanjia, between the two major empires of the Northern Wei and Eastern Jin Dynasties, divided today's Shandong and northern Jiangsu, and due to the narrow land and widowhood, if they wanted to survive, they could only aggravate the exploitation of the local people. In the face of the tyranny of the xianbei nobles, the people who had no way to survive had no way to live, and if they wanted to survive, they could only rise up and resist, and Wang Shi stood out in this situation and became the object of attention of the pseudo-imperial court.
Wang Shi gathered his followers and rebelled against The Southern Yan Emperor Murong De
In the fourth year of Southern Yan Jianping (403), Wang Shi, who thought the time was ripe, gathered a group of believers to raise an army and openly erected a banner against emperor Murong De in Taishan County. Like the later Hong Xiuquan, Wang Shi also just announced the establishment of the country, and his national name "Taiping Empire" and "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" are only one word apart. Wang Shi said that the first thing the empress did was not to recruit soldiers and expand her power, but also to seal her relatives and let them also live a "human" addiction.
In this way, Wang Shi's father was honored as the Taishang Emperor, his wife was made empress, his brother was named the general of Zhengdong, his younger brother was named the general of Zhengxi, and others were awarded different titles according to their distance and status, and for a time "the prime minister walked everywhere, and the generals were as many as dogs" (this is also similar to Hong Xiuquan's Yong'an king), and the scene was extremely joyful ("First, the demon thief king first gathered in Taishan, calling himself the Taiping Emperor, calling his father the Emperor Taishang, the brother general Zhengdong, and the brother Zhengxi general." See Book of Jin, Vol. 127, Zaiji No. 27).
Murong De sent troops to fight and quickly put down Wang Shi's rebellion
However, Wang Shi fought against the Southern Yan court with a corner of the land and a ragtag crowd, and if there was no special "favor" of fate, the end could be imagined. Sure enough, after Murong De learned of Wang Shi's rebellion, he immediately sent Murong Zhen, the king of Guiyang, to lead an army to suppress it, and almost effortlessly destroyed the "Taiping Empire" and captured the bandit Wang Shi and other cadres. After Wang Shi was escorted to the capital of Guanggu, he was immediately ordered to be beheaded by Murong De, and as a result, just before his execution, Wang Shi made a series of big jokes.
It should be said that although Wang Shi's ability to lead troops to fight and "govern the country" is not good, his super ability to brag has not been lost, and he is still blowing wildly when he is dying. Before the beheading, the beheading officer routinely asked Wang Shi about the whereabouts of the other family members, and as a result, the latter opened his mouth and said: "The whereabouts of the Emperor Taishang have been unknown so far, and the generals of Zhengdong and Zhengxi were killed by the rebels, and now only One person is left to live in the world, and he feels lonely and desolate." ”
Wang Shi talked nonsense at the execution ground, which greatly annoyed his wife
After hearing this, the people present laughed incessantly, but Wang Shi's wife was furious and shouted at Wang Shi: "Hurry up and close your broken mouth that invites disasters and troubles, if it weren't for your nonsense all day, why would we do this?" Unexpectedly, Wang Shi did not think anything of his wife's angry scolding, but instead smiled and said to her: "My queen, since ancient times, there has been no unbroken home or immortal country, and it is all providence to fall to such a point, what is there to be sad about?" ”
When the overseer saw that Wang Shi was full of nonsense, and the more he said, the more outrageous it became, he ordered the executioner to beat him on the back with a knife ring to make him confess that he had made a mistake. Unexpectedly, Wang Shi did not yield, but with a look of great righteousness and awe, Yang Tianchang sighed: "If you die, you will die, even if you encounter a poisonous hand such as Er, you will not go to the emperor number." Sure enough, wang Shi did not confess his guilt until he was beheaded. Later, someone reported the situation on the execution ground to Murong De, who laughed and laughed after hearing it, and the court, which had always been serious and dull, suddenly had some active atmosphere.
Murong De laughed after hearing Wang Shi's deeds
Murong Zhen begged for it and beheaded it in the city. Before being sentenced, or asking where his father and brother were, he replied: "The Emperor Taishang was blinded to the outside world, and he was victimized by the rebels in the east and the west." Alone, bored. His wife was furious: "Stop sitting on this mouth, so that this, why not fuer!" "Queen! Since ancient times, there has been an unbroken home, an immortal country of evil! The executioner built it with a knife ring and looked up: "Collapse is collapse, and never change the emperor's name." "Virtue smells and snorts. Ibid.
