In the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the outbreak of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" by the imperial family, the national strength of the Han regime declined, which led to the invasion of the surrounding Hu people. Various ethnic minorities wantonly burned and plundered in the Central Plains, and each established dozens of political powers, and the relatively large forces were the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. The warlords attacked each other, and the Han and ethnic minorities slaughtered each other, which was very bloody and tragic, which was the most turbulent, chaotic and darkest period in Chinese history, and the students' textbooks avoided this period of history as much as possible.
Born as the son of Jian Jian, the founding emperor of the former Qin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, he was born with one-eyed eyes and had a brutal and extreme personality from an early age. Once, his grandfather Xianghong jokingly asked Xiangsheng: "I heard that the blind child has only one eye and tears, is it true?" But he didn't dry up, and immediately took a knife and stabbed his blind eye, fiercely pointing at the blood flowing out, and said, "Isn't this a tear?" Grandpa was immediately frightened, and he didn't expect this grandson to be so cruel at such a young age.
According to His sheng's position, he was not qualified to be a prince. However, the crown prince Cangchang lost his life in a battle, and at that time there was a proverb saying "three sheep and five eyes", and Emperor Gongjian made Him the crown prince. After Jian Jian's death, Jian Sheng succeeded to the throne smoothly. As soon as he ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to change the yuan to his own era name. According to the ceremonial system, the year of the emperor's death should also be counted as his era name, and the successor should be changed in the following year. The courtiers said: "Changing the era name after less than a year on the throne is not in accordance with the etiquette system." Very angry, He went after the mastermind of the proposal, found out that it was the right servant Duan Chun, and immediately killed him.
He ate dates and suffered from toothache. The tai doctor in charge asked Cheng Yan to come to see the doctor, and after Cheng Yan finished his diagnosis, he said truthfully to Xiang Sheng: "Your Majesty is not sick, but he eats too many dates, so it causes toothache." He roared, "You're not a saint, how do you know I've eaten too many dates!" Cheng Yan was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were broken, and he planned to kneel down and plead for forgiveness, who knew that Gong Sheng's sword was faster than his words, Cheng Yan's head immediately rolled off the neck, but Cheng Yan wiped the sword with a silk scarf. Once, another tai doctor dispensed medicine, and the ginseng added by Zhi Sheng was too small. The doctor said: A little bit is enough. Xiang Sheng scolded angrily, "Do you dare to laugh at me?" "Order left and right to rip out the eyes of the doctor, and then head down." Until his death, this doctor did not know what crime he had committed. It turned out that The doctor thought that the doctor ridiculed himself for being blind in one eye.
Not only did he indiscriminately kill the chancellor, but he also raised his butcher knife to his relatives. One year, a strong wind blew in Chang'an, blowing down houses and uprooting trees, pedestrians had difficulty walking, and the palace was in chaos, and some people took advantage of the chaos to shout "Thieves are coming." The gates of the palace were quickly closed, and it took five days before they opened, and it was found that there were no thieves at all. He took out his anger at the person who shouted "The thief is coming", killed this person, and dug out his heart. Qiangping, Qiangping, the uncle of Zhisheng, advised him, and Qiangsheng became angry and used torture equipment to chisel the top of his uncle Qiangping's head. Empress Dowager Qiang saw the tragic death of her brother and soon died of resentment and anxiety.
Some courtiers watched the heavens at night, predicting the great mourning of the country, and without saying a word, he rushed into Empress Liang's palace with a knife and cut off the head of Empress Liang, who stood up to greet him. He was suddenly attracted by the queen's long white legs, and he felt that the queen's long legs were extremely beautiful, so he sawed the queen's big legs down with the saw he carried with him. He felt that this was not enough fun, and in the same way, he killed more than 300 concubines and palace women in the palace, and then put all their legs into the collection room for him to enjoy from time to time. In the imperial family, Xun Old, and relatives almost all became disabled, and for a while everyone was in danger, and when they met on the road, they did not dare to speak, and only used their eyes to see.
Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor Niu Yi saw that Xiangsheng was so tyrannical, and begged for an external transfer to avoid disasters. Gong Sheng said, "You are loyal and respectful, and you are suitable to accompany yuan's side, so why should you let it go?" He was then appointed as a general in the Chinese army, and ridiculed him: "The cattle are late and heavy, and they are good at yokes, although they do not have the kung fu of a thousand horses, they can also carry a hundred stones." Niu Yi replied, "Although I have served the emperor around, I have not passed through the steep cliffs, and I am willing to try to load more to realize my ability." Yu Sheng smiled and said, "It's very refreshing, are you still too light?" He gave you the title of Duke of Fish. Niu Yi came out in thanks, afraid of making fish in the future, so he took poison and committed suicide.
He drank and fornicated day and night, did not enter the court for months, and every time he was drunk, he would kill in vain. When he goes up to the court, he will "bend the bow and expose the blade", "hammer and claw saw and chisel, prepare left and right", carry a bow and arrow, a sharp blade, a hammer, a saw chisel and other tools, look at which minister is not pleasing to the eye, jump up and axe to chisel, hammer and chisel, the means are extremely cruel. Less than half a year after sitting on the emperor's throne, more than 500 ministers, servants, and palace women were killed by cleavage, chiseling, amputation, abortion, coercion, and sawn neck. He kills people without samurai, he does it himself, and his hands are itchy for a day. Therefore, every time the ministers went to the court, they said goodbye to their families in advance and left a will. If the emperor had not ascended to the throne, the ministers would congratulate each other and celebrate that they had lived another day.
In his spare time, He sheng asked, "Since I came to the world, how have outsiders evaluated me?" You should have heard about it. Someone replied, "Your Majesty the Holy Ming dynasty, the world is only peaceful." Fei Sheng angrily rebuked, "How dare you! "Kill immediately. The next day, I asked again, and I didn't dare to meet him again, saying that Hesheng was a bit abusive. He scolded again, "Why slander the pound!" "And behead the man." The general Qiang Huai sacrificed his life for the country, and the concubines of his descendants struggled to turn to Zhisheng, hoping that Xiangsheng would give his son the title, and Gongsheng shot through the woman's neck in the street. When Lei Wei'er exposed the traitors in the DPRK, he was dissatisfied and killed Lei Wei'er and his 9 sons and 23 grandsons.
According to the Book of Jin, "raw peeling of cattle, sheep and horses, live flame chickens and guinea pigs and geese" is the most favorite game played by Zhisheng. Looking at the skinned livestock, the chickens and birds that were lit with fire, dying and wailing with all their might, running and struggling between the empty halls, until they exhausted the last trace of strength and convulsed to death, Zhisheng clapped his hands and said that he was still not finished. He also stripped the faces of death row inmates and forced them to sing and dance with their faces hanging from their jaws, but Hesheng drank happily and laughed. Fortunately, his wife and concubine had little intentions, so they immediately killed them and threw the body into the weishui.
As an emperor, Gongsheng also had a strange habit, that is, he loved to watch men and women fornication, "sending palace people and men to be naked in front of the palace" in order to seek excitement, and if they did not comply, they would kill without forgiveness. Once he went to Afang to play, and when he met two brothers and sisters on the road, he "forced the order to be indecent" and forced the two to do men's and women's affairs. It's almost like a beast.
Such a cruel and perverted emperor can be described as a very rare strange emperor in Chinese history, and his deeds are difficult to describe. After reigning for two years, he was plotted by his younger brother King Jian jian of the East Sea to launch a coup d'état, led a warrior into the palace, arrested Zhisheng, who was still drunk in his dream, and deposed his throne. He insisted that the empress had killed Himon and was given the title of "King Li". He was only 23 years old when he was born and died, and he was also one of the most criticized tyrants like Jie Yu in later generations. Blind avoidance may not be the goal, but writing it down to make people understand some truth is also a historical need. (Text/Scholar)
