There have been many tyrants in history, killing people like children's plays, and even as a pleasure, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelü Jing, is one of them.
Sometimes it is quite strange to think that such an emperor can still reign for 19 years, usually in addition to drinking or sleepiness, and then, it is killing, which is also related to his drinking. The harm of wine is estimated that the ancients did not know much, but the benefits of wine, flipping through the poems of the ancients, are full. Yelü Jing's drinking is not the kind of "drinking pleasure", he is looking for wine everywhere, the minister's house he goes, the people's house he also goes, it seems that he wants to taste the good wine all over the world. However, the body would protest, so he thought of a way to ask witches and warlocks to help him live a long life.
It seems that these warlocks, without exception, use "medicine primers" when dispensing elixirs, and there are all kinds of fancy styles. The "medicine primer" of yerushalayim's elixir is a man's guts. In China, there is a saying, "what to eat to make up for what", Yelü Jing has been drinking for a long time, and there must be a problem with the liver and gallbladder, but the warlock cannot say it explicitly, so it can only be made up. Taking the courage of a man is a simple task for Jeroboam, and it is not to kill a person. If this is the case, it is easy to deal with, there are so many death row prisoners, but it is just that the whole body cannot be left.
However, Jeroboam felt that this was boring, and he wanted to play some tricks. So he invented some torture on his own. One of them is "dismemberment", just looking at this word, it will make people uncomfortable, and the first feeling is to "unload eight pieces". This kind of torture has a long history, and at the beginning it separated the arms and legs of the body. Later, it began to start from smaller parts, such as fingers and toes, and slowly unloaded people. Later, it became a piece of scraping, which is "Ling Chi". After Hong Xiuquan's son was captured by the Qing soldiers, Ling Chi was executed, and more than 1,000 pieces were cut.
However, in Yerushalayim's place, it has not yet come to this point. He just unloaded a few large pieces of people and then threw them into the wilderness. At that time, the person who was in charge of deer breeding was sick because one of the deer was sick, so he was tragically "taken away" by this law. Moreover, Yelü Jing also had a hobby, that is, hunting, so there were many animals in the harem. Those keepers, all day long worried, serving animals is more careful than serving their own parents, but animals and people, where there are no small diseases and disasters. But Jeroboam will grasp these faults, all kinds of tosses.
The other is the "cannon branding", which was also invented by the ancients. However, Yelü Jing had his own creativity on the basis of the ancients, adding an "iron comb". This is quite cruel, if it is according to the ancient law, people will be directly roasted, and the painful process will soon pass. This "cannon brand" of Yelü Jing is that when people are about to die, they use an iron comb to pull at the tortured person's body, and even the belt meat is torn off. Yelü Jing saw that it was too much to enjoy and repeatedly took it out, and everyone around him was shocked, and no one wanted to become the "roast meat" on this copper plate one day.
Such an emperor, who would want to follow again?
Yelü Jing did not care, drinking and hunting were still not wrong, that is, they did not ask about the government. The people around him, as long as they are not satisfied, he will draw his sword at each other, and anytime, anywhere, he will turn the scene into a killing place. On this day, he came to Montenegro again, which was a place he liked, a good place to go hunting. It was the last time he'd been here, but he didn't know it. On this day, he was not the same as usual, probably because he was very tired, he did not eat, and went to bed early. Such a sleepy person was actually awakened by hunger in the middle of the night.
The guards and cooks who had been circling him all day were resting in the middle of the night, even though they knew that at this time the emperor would run out to find something to eat, and when everyone came to serve, Yelü Jing was very angry, and he immediately wanted to kill these people. These people were also clever, and they hurriedly said that it was not too late to kill him when he was well served. Yelü Jing didn't think much of it, his belly was hungry, of course, he had eaten enough first, so he agreed. These cooks were already very dissatisfied with the emperor in their daily lives, and now they were provoked by this incident and simply went out.
Anyway, it was all a death, and it was better to get rid of this cruel emperor first. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver food, he used his private weapon to remove Yelü Jing, and afterwards, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Turning the history books again, Yelü Jing killed all the close servants, ministers, and people, but he did not come chaotically. Therefore, this also allows future generations to have "homework". This is probably related to his temper, he may want to be a good emperor, but, as soon as he drinks, people are easy to be impulsive, it is easy to do extreme things, and these close attendants around him will inevitably make some mistakes, and naturally become the target of his "attack", even if the knives and forks of the meal are not prepared in time, they can make him kill, let alone others?
Regardless of whether he contributed to his political achievements or not, as long as he killed indiscriminately, no one wanted such an emperor.
