China is a multi-ethnic country, and each ethnic group has its own outstanding heroes. This is true of the Han Chinese, and ethnic minorities are no exception. As long as they promote historical development and conform to the trend of history, they are naturally supported by the people, but some people do the opposite and become the scum of the nation despised by future generations.
These figures, although they were powerful and blessed during their reign, once they deviated from the throne, they became the object of thousands of people. The Shi Hu we are talking about today is exactly such a figure.
Later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu lived for fifty-five years, leaving only four words: tyrannical and absurd. Shi Hu (石虎), courtesy name Jilong, was a nephew of Shi Le, the founding emperor of Later Zhao, and the third emperor of Later Zhao.
Because the word "tiger" offended Li Yuan's father, Li Hu, Tang Chen, in order to avoid secrecy, referred to Shi Hu as Shi Jilong when writing the Book of Jin. Whether it is a dragon or a tiger, no matter how exquisite the name is, it cannot rewrite the double name of Shi Hu's "tyrant" and "adulterous prince".
Shi Hu is Shi Le's nephew and has a brute force. When he was a teenager, this guy liked to play people with a slingshot. At the age of eighteen, because of his extraordinary martial arts and bravery, he was favored by Shi Le and was given the title of General of the Conquest.
After Shi Le's death, Shi Hu coerced Tianzi to order the princes, and finally forced emperor Shi Hong to abdicate and proclaim himself King Of Zhao.
Shi Hu followed Shi Le since he was a child, and later, for a time, disappeared for six years. When Shi Hu was seventeen years old, he returned to Shi Le's side.
At this time, Shi Hu grew taller, and the man also became a typical rogue evil boy, "sexually cruel, good at hunting, wandering and wandering." After serving Shi Le, Shi Hu hit people with a slingshot when he had nothing to do, and the soldiers all "thought they were poisonous".
Because Shi Hu was skillful in bowing horses and strict in governing the army, and it was precisely when the war was chaotic, Shi Le saw more from Shi Hu the strengths of his bravery in battle and invincibility, so he became more and more important to Shi Hu.
However, Shi Hu's killing was too heavy, "as for the fall of the city, do not break the good and evil, pit and behead the soldiers and women, and there are few relics." For this reason, Shi Le also reprimanded him many times, but Shi Hu went his own way and continued to "act freely" (see Book of Jin).
Shi Hu likes the taste of blood, and occasionally, it is understandable. But every time there is a war, the city is slaughtered. When attacking Qingzhou, the city was bloodily slaughtered, and only more than 700 people remained to save their lives.
In September of the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (330 AD), Shi Le was proclaimed emperor, changed his name to Yuan Jianping, and made his son Shi Hong the crown prince and Da Dan Yu, and Shi Hu was made the King of Zhongshan and Shang Shuling. For this seat, Shi Hu was obviously not satisfied.
In Shi Hu's view, over the years, he conquered thirteen prefectures and counties in succession, and he fought down thirteen prefectures and counties in succession, and he was the real "master of becoming a great Zhao", and Da Dan Yu (Shi Le implemented the division of Hu and Han, the emperor managed the Han people, and The big Dan yu managed the Hu people) This position is none other than him.
Thinking of the unfair reward of Shi Le, and the idea of Shi Hong sitting and enjoying his success, Shi Hu had already harbored a bad breath in his heart, and vowed to one day let Shi Le cut off his children and grandchildren, "After the Lord (Shi Le) yan drove, there would be no need to re-keep the seeds" (see "Zizhi Tongjian").
Shi Hu's words are not meant to relieve boredom, but are used to practice in a down-to-earth manner.
In July of the fourth year of Jianping (333 AD), Shi Le fell ill and died, and the crown prince Shi Hong took the throne, changing Yuan Yanxi to Yuan Yanxi, and sealing Shi Hu as Xiang Xiang, King of Wei, Da Dan Yu, and Jia Jiu Xi.
Shi Hongwen was weak, and although he was nominally an emperor, the power of the big and small was completely controlled by Shi Hu. In November of the second year of Yanxi (334 AD), Shi Hu deposed Shi Hong, and under the so-called "pushing and pushing" of everyone, he claimed to be the king of Zhao Tianwang and changed his name to Yuan Jianwu.
After Shi Hu took power, he killed Cheng Wei and Xu Guang, the two auxiliary ministers, and reduced the treatment of Shi Le's wife Liu Shi. Empress Liu and her son Shi Kan plotted to get rid of Shi Hu, but because the matter was not secret, Shi Kan was roasted alive by Shi Hu, and Empress Liu was killed.
Soon, Shi Sheng and Shi Lang raised an army to attack Shi Hu, and after being suppressed, they were tortured and executed by Shi Hu. The forces that Shi Hong relied on to contain Shi Hu were all destroyed, and their situation was precarious.
During his reign, Shi Hong witnessed shi hu's bloodshed and lived like a year. In October of the second year of Yanxi (334 AD), Shi Hong personally took the emperor's seal to the wei palace and asked to cede the throne to Shi Hu, but Shi Hu still did not agree.
It was not that Shi Hu did not want to be emperor, but that he was unwilling to accept Shi Hong's Zen concessions. Shi Hu believes that Shi Hong is "dim and stupid, rude to funerals, and cannot come to all the kingdoms, flatter the Temple, and abolish it" (see Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms), a person who is not worthy of being an emperor at all, and what Zen concessions he talks about, should be abolished directly.
In November of that year, Shi Hu ousted Shi Hong from the throne and deposed him as the King of Haiyang. After Shi Hong was deposed, he did not have the slightest frustration, but looked calm, as if relieved, relaxed, slowly walked on the car, and a generation of emperors left the palace so indifferently.
At that time, the civil and military officials did not weep, and the concubines and concubines of the palace did not weep, and they were worried about Shi Hong's fate.
After deposing Shi Hong, Shi Hu established himself as Heavenly King and imprisoned Shi Hong and his birth mother and others. In the first month of the first year of Jianwu (335 AD), Shi Hu, who was already sitting firmly in the world, killed Shi Hong and his birth mother, and extended his poisonous hand to Shi Hong's brothers, "Killing Daya and his mother Cheng, and Daya's brothers" (see Book of Wei).
Ishihiro was only twenty-two years old at the time of his death. For more than a year after Shi Hong was forced to take the throne, he was full of humiliation, fear and torture, wanting to make it impossible, wanting to retreat, life is better than death, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being deposed and killed. The struggle for imperial power has always been clearly written about cruelty and bloodshed.
Shi Hu is very happy and likes to open up territory and expand the territory. In order to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, unfortunately, there were not enough materials, so they requisitioned the soldiers' goods throughout the country: one for every five people, two cows, fifty grains of rice, ten pieces of silk, and those who did not hand them over were killed. Countless people have had to sell their children for safety.
Shi Hu likes beautiful women, and likes them to the point of no return. Of course this kind of like, there is a lot of barbarism and slaughter in it.
Many luxurious palaces were built in Linzhangshui, northwest of Ye County, and were filled with beautiful women. They even killed their husbands when they were women. There are rare and exotic beasts of famous species in the garden, and Shi Hu often plays here to set up banquets.
Within two hundred miles from Xiangguo to Yecheng, a line of palaces was built every forty miles, and each palace had a lady and dozens of servants living there, guarded by the Yellow Gate officials.
Every day, he leaned on the red and leaned on the green, happily drank and had fun, and raised his hand to kill people when he was not happy. However, no matter how good the mood is, there are also times when Shi Hu is unhappy, and the consequences are greatly serious.
Therefore, the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an was widely repaired, and 260,000 craftsmen were sent to repair the Luoyang Palace, and the officials did not think that Shi Hu was doing good things, and in order to prosper the cultural undertakings of the motherland, they vigorously engaged in the creation of urban civilization, so as to widely gather beautiful women.
Originally, there were already many Shi Hu harems, but he was not satisfied. He ordered: All women under the age of twenty, over the age of thirteen, and about the same length should go and sign up to serve as female officials.
The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what if there are no girls? In order to cater to Shi Hu's thoughts, officials often robbed people of their wives and daughters, and for a time they were miasma and cried for days. The harem was full of all kinds of beautiful women crying for their mothers.
Lao Tzu is like this, and the son naturally does not show weakness. Shi Hu's sons also held various beauty contests, of course, a little posture, can not go back.
In total, Lao Tzu and his son gathered forty thousand women. In Yecheng, Shi Hu ascended to the far horizon, but saw a young woman with elegant manners. Yuanyuan Tingting, youthful and beautiful, can't help but be excited. He acted recklessly.
At the moment, the monarchs and courtiers are happy together, and the night is ruined. But there are those who do not obey, or are killed, or commit suicide, or trample, or are in a different place, and the corpses are everywhere, which is unbearable to see.
The common people in the Central Plains who dared to cultivate the land in front of their homes again fled one after another. Shi Hu said that the courtiers were not good at anmin, and ordered the execution of the chief. Some courtiers came to dissuade him, and Shi Hu was furious, and he ordered him to be beheaded and yi of the three tribes.
A minister came up with a bad idea, saying: The fortunes of the country will decline, and the Jin Dynasty will be revived, and it is possible to levy hard labor to suppress the king's qi. Shi Hu then rebuilt the Hualin Garden in the north of Yecheng and built a wide wall of the city, which was tens of miles long.
In August of that year, heavy snow fell in the sky, the land was three feet, and thousands of people froze to death in hard labor, some people advised Shi Hu to stop work, Shi Hu was furious, I demolished my house myself, repaired the house, what did I do? Ordered to build overnight, candles on all four sides of the candle. Suddenly, torrential rains, along with hurricanes, flooded tens of thousands of people.
Soon, the completion was completed, Shi Hu asked the prince to sacrifice the mountains and rivers, seeing his son's majestic style, and said with great joy: My father and son, such a mighty wind, unless the sky collapses, what worries do you have? In the future, I will hold my grandchildren and find my own fun.
However, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Shi Hu's crazy animalistic nature brought the bad luck of extinction to the entire Karma nation to which he belonged.
The death of his five-year-old grandson made him sick. The following year, he died. His son Shi Shi Dengji had only thirty-three days to live, and was killed by another son, Shi Zun.
That Shi Zun ascended to the pole for one hundred and eighty-three days, and was killed by another son, Shi Jian. This Stone Jian ascended to the pole for one hundred and three days, and was killed by his general Ran Min.
Ran Min, originally his adopted son, a Han Chinese, later changed back to his surname and adopted a more brutal method of revenge because he hated Shi Hu's barbaric ethnic policies.
He ordered: "Whoever kills a Hu person, the official is promoted to the third rank, and the soldier is promoted to the tooth keeper." "In the capital Yecheng area alone, 200,000 people were slaughtered, including all the princes and ministers of the Qi people and the pawns of the traffickers.
The people's anger against Shi Hu's tyranny was terrible to take revenge on the entire Karma nation, and the Karma nation disappeared in China.
Jianghu Dao: Shi Hu, the devil of the world also. During his reign, in order to satisfy his own desires, he did not hesitate to expropriate and plunder people's wives and daughters, so that the people's resentment was boiling.
Answered the sentence: God taught him to perish, and he told him to be mad first. So although it was very difficult at that time, after his death, his children and grandchildren suffered one after another, so that the whole karma was buried with him, which was sad and lamentable.
There are a few words in the jianghu that scold: Demon Shi Hu, there are also parents. Adulterous wives and daughters, wanton killing. Rampant expropriation, countless houses have been built. The children and grandchildren become enemies, and they do not learn any skills. As the thousands pointed out, some people shouted, dug the tomb of Erzu, and exterminated the three tribes. What's more, the dead are karma. Whoops, the sin is unforgivable. Even if they flee to the Yin Dynasty Mansion, they will still have to explode countless people, kill countless people, peel countless people, and split countless thunderbolts.
In ancient times, there was no mechanization, and civil engineering was completely dependent on manual physical strength. For example, the construction of the sightseeing station and the Luoyang and Chang'an Second Palace, using "more than 400,000 people"; Governing Chang'an Weiyang Palace, using "160,000 people"; Repair Luoyang Palace, using "260,000 people"; Chikuwa Forest Garden, using "160,000 men and women, 100,000 cars."
In order to complete it as soon as possible and enjoy it as soon as possible, Shi Hu ordered the craftsmen to grasp the construction day and night, relying on the sun during the day, and "making candles at night" when it was dark. In the face of oblique wind and drizzle, it was enough, but in the face of bad weather, Shi Hu was still not allowed to stop work, resulting in the unnatural death of a large number of craftsmen.
The HualinYuan project alone was "tens of thousands of dead due to the storm and heavy rain", and like the Taiwu Hall, it was "two feet high and eight feet high, sixty-five steps in length, seventy-five steps wide, and made of aragonite." Under the ambush chamber, there were five hundred guards. With lacquer tiles, gold, silver, bead curtains, jade walls, poor and extremely skilled. The white jade bed and the fringed tent on the temple are the big projects that crown the top of the tent for Jin Lianhua" (see "Zizhi Tongjian"), which is even more imaginable.
Shi Hu liked to build a lot of civil engineering, and soon after usurping the throne, he built a large-scale Taiwu Hall in the capital of Xiangguo, and then built the Eastern and Western Palaces in Yicheng, and by the end of the second year of Xiankang (336), all of them were completed.
The Taiwu Hall is magnificent in scale, with a base of two feet and eight feet high, surrounded by gorgeous carved stones. In order to protect his own safety, Shi Hu also built a dark room under his highness, and he had more than 500 guards in it to prevent accidents.
After the completion of the main hall, it was 75 steps long from east to west and 65 steps wide from north to south. The whole hall is painted with roof tiles, gold is used to decorate tiles, silver is used to decorate the pillars, and a white jade bed is placed in the palace, and a tassel tent is hung, and a golden lotus is covered on the roof of the tent.
Yu Xiangguo started the Taiwu Hall, Yu Yi built the East and West Palaces, and everything was done. The foundation of the Taiwu Hall was two feet tall and eight feet high, and it was crushed with stone and stone, and it was worn down through the ambush chamber, and five hundred guards were placed in it. Seventy-five steps from east to west, sixty-five steps from north to south. All are lacquered tiles, golden bells, silver jacaranda, golden pillars, bead curtains, jade walls, poor and exquisite. See Book of Jin? Volume One Hundred and Six? Shi Jilong Zaiji (Part 1).
Create a house of gold to store beautiful women.
This huge harem beauty group is divided into different levels according to posture and talent, except for a few beautiful women who can often enjoy the "rain and dew" of Shi Hu, the vast majority of them are like seclusion, spending time in cold and lonely all day.
After Shi Hu's death, these beauties, except for some who were "taken over" by the successor king and some who were dismissed from the palace, most of them fell into a creepy ending in the era of Ran Min (Shi Hu's adopted grandson, who later killed Shi Hu's sons to usurp the throne and established the State of Wei, known in history as Ran Wei): they were eaten!
When Ran Min was trapped in Former Yan, he used Shi Hu's palace people as rations, and the reason why these palace people were eaten was because ran Wei's capital At that time, Yecheng, was besieged by the Former Yan army for a long time, and there was a serious shortage of grain in the city, and ran Min's father and son ordered the killing of these women who remained in the palace to replenish military food in order to solve the problem of rations.
In this way, after many years of suffering, these palace people not only did not usher in a new life, but fell into a more tragic situation, which is really regrettable.
