As an emperor, the monarch of a country with great power and absolute power over the state, is the head of the entire state. He should love the people, be polite, and be respected by the people. What we are going to talk about today is a different emperor, who is ''Standing Emperor'' Liu Jin. He was not an emperor, but he was in charge of all the big and small things that the emperor should be in charge of, but he did not help the emperor in his uneasy plans to rule the dynasty, but instead oppressed the people, seeking revenge and usurping the throne with all his heart, making him the most miserable emperor in history.
Why the misery? Because he was executed by Ling Chi before he died, the ancient criminal law required that a specified number of knives must be cut, and in the process could not die, this idiom describes the process of late arrival, the prisoner's flesh was cut off one by one by the executioner, thousands of knives, but never hurt the fatal place, until the prisoner swallowed the last breath, very terrible and cruel.
Liu Jin was born into a poor family in Xingping, Shaanxi Province, and was sent to the palace as a eunuch at an early age. In fact, Liu Jin's surname was taken by an old eunuch surnamed Liu, but he was renamed Liu Jin because he was brought into the palace by an old eunuch named Liu. After entering the palace, Liu Jin, a young eunuch who worked hard every day, was not promoted year after year. After more than thirty years of work, he was promoted to the position of Missionary. However, at this time, the emperor changed, and Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youfan succeeded to the throne.
In order to please the new emperor, Liu Jin, as the envoy of the church, arranged a kabuki performance for the emperor at the banquet after the sacrifice ceremony, hoping to amuse the emperor, and then promoted to a higher rank and wealth. However, the new emperor paid attention to influence when he ascended the throne, and he was able to slap the horse's ass on the horse's hoof, and instead of promoting Liu Jin, he cancelled his small position and punished him to guard the mausoleum. At that time, Liu Jin was already very old and did not want to live long, so he took out his 40 years of savings, honored a chief eunuch, and got a chance to serve the prince.
It was this opportunity that made Liu Jin's life completely change. This prince is Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jin, who served the crown prince, tried his best to please the prince and wanted to climb up to the future emperor. Moreover, the prince also likes to play, Liu Jin is very happy, and Liu Jin has become the prince's favorite eunuch.
In 1506, when Emperor Xiaozong died and Zhu Houzhao succeeded, Liu Jinzhao succeeded and rose to a higher position, becoming a near eunuch next to the emperor. At this time, Liu Jin was at the peak of his life, the emperor he served was only 15 years old, and he did not care about the government. So Liu Jin controlled the entire country as Zhu Houzhao.
When you meet a young emperor who doesn't care about anything and a eunuch with good power and wealth, the country naturally becomes a place where people can't live. The ministers provided Liu Jin with all kinds of wealth, and the ministers' money was stolen by the people. When the people could no longer live, they began to raise the flag to rebel. King Anhua and his people began to rebel against Liu Jin's dictatorship, and Wuzong sent Yushi Yang Yiqing and eunuch Zhang Yongping to rebel. Later, when the rebellion subsided, the two reported Liu Jin's charges and found millions of gold, silver and jewelry in their homes. They also found forged seals and jade bands, as well as other prohibited items. They also found two daggers in Liu Jin's usual fan, and various facts persuaded Emperor Wuzong that Liu Jin was rebelling, and Emperor Wuzong, who had found out the truth, sentenced him directly to Ling Chi.
In August of the same year, the "Station Emperor" was executed overnight. It is said that at that time, the executioner cut off 4,200 knives of Liu Jin. Three days later, Liu Jin died 3,357 times. However, everyone was oppressed by the eunuch and hated him very much. They continued to execute him after his death and completed the cutting of 4,200 knives. The cut pieces of meat on Liu Jin's body were frantically grabbed by everyone.
