He claimed the emperor overseas, sent his hometown 18 cylinders of pickles, and the villagers threw away 17 cylinders and opened them to see the intestines
Zheng Xin is a seemingly very ordinary Chinese name, but people who know a little Thai history should know that the character of Zheng Xin has a lot of fame in Thailand, and he is also known by Thais as the head of the five emperors of Thailand. Presumably, many people should wonder why this is obviously a Chinese name is the emperor of Thailand? Here we have to talk about his family history.
Zheng Xin's original ancestral home is Chaozhou, Guangdong, due to the old social turmoil at that time, the people are not happy, so by chance, Zheng Xin's father decided to go to Thailand to survive. The young Zheng Xin was sent to the temple by his father to study, and because of his talent, he also learned many languages, but unfortunately, at his young age, his father died, leaving him and his mother to rely on each other.
At that time, Zheng Xin had already stated that the minister of the dynasty, Pai Ye Jie, was accepted as a righteous son, and Zheng Xin became the son of a court official from a poor boy, and it was precisely because of this that the young Zheng Xin had many opportunities to receive education, coupled with his diligence and studiousness, so even after he later ascended the throne, he was able to write his own plays, poems, songs and other literary works.
In fact, not only in literature and even in the military field also has a very high attainment, for some military books are also handy, a variety of ordinary people are difficult to control the weapons are also very skilled. In thai history, Zheng Xin is definitely a king who can be worshipped by people. To commemorate his exploits, a bronze statue of Marshing the Great is still standing in the center of the plaza of the Dala Doo Circle in present-day Thonburi Province.
But the most familiar anecdote about him is probably the story of the 18-mouth vegetable jar. Because Zheng Xin had already become king in Thailand at that time, and many of the national policies he opened up were very conducive to the Chinese going to Thailand. At his instigation, many people went to Thailand to develop, and there were many people from his ancestral home.
Facing his father and fellow countryman Zheng Xin is of course 100% enthusiastic, but some people do not want to stay in Thailand, and in the case of repeated retention without results, Zheng Xin has to let them go back. When he left, Zheng Xin also gave his fellow villagers 18 vegetable jars and told them to open them when they returned home.
And on the way home by boat, the villagers also can't help but want to find out, when they open the vegetable jar, they found that it was just pickled kimchi, and their hearts were naturally very indignant, thinking that since Zheng Xin had become the king, he only sent his own kimchi, and suddenly felt humiliated, so he pushed the 17-cylinder vegetable jar into the sea in one breath, and only one of the streams was left.
As a result, when they arrived at the land, people poured out only the kimchi in the jar and looked at it, and found that the upper part was kimchi, and the bottom part was buried with a jar full of gold and silver jewelry. It turned out that Zheng Xin wanted to send a large amount of money to his hometown to build the road, but he was afraid that they would encounter pirates on the road and rob the treasure, so he had to use such a trick to cover his eyes.
It is not difficult to see that Zheng Xin is not only meticulous in his mind, but also does not forget ben, and indeed has the talent of an emperor. Looking at the achievements of Zheng Xin in Thailand's political career, it is also the reason why many people love him. So, why does such a wise monarch gradually go downhill and be killed in the later stages of his reign?
We must know that even if Zheng Xin is a person of great prestige, his birth cannot be changed, and his background has always been the reason why political enemies attack him, and although he has become king, some rumors have not dissipated, and these unchangeable facts have also created his suspicious character.
After listening to the rumors of some people, he even killed his two favorite concubines, and when he reacted, he was also remorseful, but this matter was like a vicious circle, and Zheng Xin's psychological defense line was also collapsing more and more. Zheng Xin encouraged the people of the time to inform each other and reward everyone, and for a while everyone in the imperial court was also at risk.
Many people took advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the dissidents around them, which also led to turmoil in the imperial court, the rule of adultery, and the people's lives were also miserable, and Zheng Xin's dynasty was eventually overthrown!
Throughout Zheng Xin's life, there is undoubtedly a very strong legend. As a poor Chinese, Zheng Xin, who finally ascended to the throne of Thailand, also proved his talent with the transformation of his identity and status.
