Liu Jin's opening and hanging
In the year when Zhu Houzhao had just succeeded to the throne, the letters of the ministers of the DPRK and The Chinese ministers flew like snowflakes, and there was only one content: to punish the eunuch Liu Jin, because this eunuch lured the emperor into indulging in the sound and color of dogs and horses, which was counterproductive to the emperor's adolescent education. At this time, Emperor Zhu Houzhao seemed to be the center of the rope in the tug-of-war game, and on one side of the rope was a group of well-educated people who took the world as their mission, while on the other side, there were several eunuchs led by Liu Jin around Zhu Houzhao.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was only 15 years old, found that he did not look like an emperor at all, but a stubborn teenager who listened to the nagging of his fathers, wanted to rebel, and wanted to play around. He began to miss the beautiful days when he was still a prince, Liu Jin took him to shoot arrows, ride horses, kick football, wrestle, fight cocks, walk eagles and play leopards, and his focus naturally shifted to liu Jin's side, who seemed to be weak.
With the emperor's support, Liu Jin slapped these officials who had never been dismissive of him this time.
Liu Jin, who had won the victory, did not stop there, and he quickly created a blacklist of 53 people, so that the multi-mouthed officials who hated Zhu Houzhao had to leave. In just five years, Liu Jin's life was like a hanging, from an ordinary chores eunuch to a fighter in Chinese eunuchs.
The higher you stand, the more painful it is to fall
Zhu Houzhao gave Liu Jin a fulcrum and let this eunuch play with the entire imperial officialdom in the early years of Emperor Wuzong. Liu Jin, he smiled proudly at the top of power. In the period from the first year of Zhengde to the five years of Zhengde, Liu Jin became the "Emperor Of Li", but standing in a position where he should not stand, the result was how high he stood and fell down.
In the fifth year of Zhengde, Liu Jin's small gang of eunuchs caused infighting. This eunuch who contradicted Liu Jin was also a red man by the emperor's side, named Zhang Yong. In this year, Zhu Baopan, the king of Anhua in Ningxia, rebelled in the name of currying favor with Liu Jin, and Zhu Houzhao personally ordered Zhang Yong to supervise the army to go west and win the victory over the class. The emperor put wine in the palace to treat Zhang Yong and other meritorious servants. Zhang Yong took the opportunity to present Liu Jin's plot of rebellion.
The emperor ordered the lieutenant to go to Liu's residence, and the result of the raid on the house made the young Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao dumbfounded. Because he saw a list that would shock anyone:
Gold moto treasure 240,000 ingots (50 ingots a piece); 57,800 pieces of gold; 5 million silver ingots; 1,583,600 pieces of silver; and countless pearl and jade scripts and paintings. This property is converted into silver, which is equivalent to the financial income of the Zhengde Dynasty for 150 years, and if the exchange of silver for RMB is calculated at 1:400, Liu Jin's property is as high as 120 billion! No wonder that in the "50 Richest People in the World in the Past 1,000 Years" published by the Wall Street Journal Asia, Liu Jin became one of the six Chinese on the list!
The one who died the worst
From the Liu family's secret room, they also found out the python robe and the jade belt armor, which were all prohibited items at that time, and what made the Zhengde Emperor angry the most was that Liu Jin actually hid two sharp daggers in the fan that liu Jin never left his body every day! Good fellow, this is a clear indication that you want to assassinate and rebel at any time!
According to Liu Jin's crimes, he was sentenced to Ling Chi with 3357 knives, and he had to be cut in three days. On the first day, liu jin was to be cut 357 knives. The executioner first cut 10 knives from Liu Jin's chest. Wait for Liu Jin to wake up, cut 10 more knives, and so on.
After cutting 357 knives on the first day, Liu Jin was taken back to prison, and he actually had a good appetite and drank two large bowls of porridge. The next day, it was still 10 knives and a break, and after cutting dozens of knives, Liu Jin finally couldn't hold back and died of exhaustion. However, according to the criminal law, even if the prisoner dies, he cannot be spared, and Liu Jin is still cut 3357 times.
This is a real thousand knives, perhaps it is inhumane today, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was the truest end of this "Standing Emperor"! The scholars and doctors of the Ming Empire who were toyed with by Liu Jin and applauded quietly appreciated all this, and they had been waiting for a long time for the arrival of these three days!
