Throughout China's ancient history, there are many famous corrupt officials in history, and everyone is most familiar with the Qing Dynasty's Hezhen. He Yan was a big red man around Qianlong, who used his position to embezzle a lot of gold and silver treasures. After Jiaqing ascended the throne, the ministers listed the ten deadly sins of Hezhen, and was thrown into heavenly prison for this, and soon after committed suicide. After his death, the gold and silver treasures that Jiaqing found in his home were equivalent to a quarter of the annual income of the entire Qing government, which was really outrageous.
He Yan was a famous corrupt official in history, but the Yuan Dynasty had a heavy courtier, and his greed was no less than that of He Yan, even worse than He Yan. He was Ahma, the favorite vassal of Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. Ahma's life was extremely poor and extravagant, and he did all the bad things, and finally ended up with a dead body, which was regrettable.
Ahma was initially a dowry slave, but with his financial acumen, he was appreciated by Kublai Khan. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty had just ended many years of war, the country was hungry, the people were not happy, Kublai Khan urgently needed a rich treasury of economic talents, and Ahma was such a talent.
Ahma did make a little achievement during his tenure as an official. First of all, he vigorously developed the iron-making industry, creating a large number of iron agricultural tools for the peasants, and the peasants improved their agricultural efficiency, so that more grain was handed over to the imperial court. Second, the management of taxation was strengthened, to a certain extent, tax evasion was cracked down, and the normal operation of commerce in the Yuan Dynasty was ensured, and the living conditions of the people gradually improved. Third, it stipulates the standards for officials at all levels, effectively cracking down on the phenomenon of officials extorting the people. From these points of view, Ahma is indeed a talent, but unfortunately, after being reused, Ahma was blinded by his power and began to use his power for personal gain.
Ahma, who was deeply favored by the emperor, first oppressed the people and murdered the powerful ministers, then promoted the traitorous party cronies, and also found more than five hundred beautiful women for his own enjoyment, which he would enjoy more than the emperor. His misdeeds made the ministers very dissatisfied, and Kublai Khan did not believe it.
The emperor did not care, naturally there were good folk people to teach him. At that time, there was a man named Wang Zhu, who had been filthy all his life, and after hearing about Ahma's evil deeds, he vowed to give him some color to see, so he built a large copper hammer. Later, they united with a like-minded man, and the two lied that the prince had summoned him and smashed Ahma to death.
When Kublai Khan heard the news of Ahma's murder, he was so distressed that he ordered the execution of wang and the two men. At this time, the ministers plucked up the courage to recount Ahma's evil deeds, and Kublai Khan sent someone to raid Ahma's home. This does not check do not know, a check is frightened. Officers and soldiers found countless belongings in his home, as well as hundreds of beautiful women. The most frightening thing is that there are also two human skins. According to Jia Ding, this person's skin has a curse effect, and he can make anyone unlucky. The ministers took the opportunity to fan the flames, saying that Ahma was trying to rebel and curse the emperor with human skins.
Kublai Khan was furious when he heard this, not expecting that his henchmen who had been cultivating so much for so many years were white-eyed wolves, and immediately ordered Ahma's body to be dragged out of the car to be torn, and then thrown out the fragmented limbs to feed the dogs. This able minister, who once had unlimited scenery, did not even leave a corpse after his death, which is not to be described as miserable.
Ahma is indeed a talent, but unfortunately, he has his talents, his virtue cannot keep up with his talents, he cannot withstand the temptation of power, which leads to corruption and perverting the law, and single-handedly created his own tragic ending. In real life, in fact, there is no shortage of Ahma's generation, who turned the wrong steering wheel in the face of interests and eventually ruined their lives. I only hope that people like Ahma will be less and less, more righteous people, and make our society more harmonious.
