Throughout the dynasties of emperors, except for a few people, most of them have strong personality characteristics, some of them have been superior since childhood, extremely skillful, and vigorous; some are indecisive and at the mercy of others; some are cruel and fierce, treating others as nothing, and regarding life as grass; some are absurd, addicted to wine, and even disregard human morality... Perhaps these characteristics of theirs are not lacking among ordinary people, but their imperial position magnifies these characteristics thousands of times and is nakedly presented to the world.
When it comes to absurdity and cruelty, people first think of the King of Shang, then Sun Hao, the lord of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, yang Guang, the Sui Emperor who destroyed the Sui Dynasty, and then the king of Hailing in the Jin Dynasty, Yan Liang.
King Gong (Stills)
According to historical records, King Hailing had three major ambitions in his life: First, I was responsible for all major national affairs; second, I led my division to fight against the enemy country and insisted on his monarch to ask for his sins; third, to get the world's most beautiful person and his wife ~ whether his marriage was married or not! After he ascended the throne and became emperor, he exercised his imperial power in accordance with these three creeds.
Sun Hao
Hailing King finished Yan Di Gunai, Han name Liang, we called it with Complete Yan Liang. He was the second son of Emperor Yan zonggan of Liao, and his birth mother was dashi, and his mother-in-law (Zonggan's wife) was Tudan.
Hailing King
From an early age, Yan Liang was talented and studious, and once worshiped the Han Confucian Zhang Yongzhi as a teacher, he was intoxicated with Chinese civilization, was extremely interested in Confucian thought, and often discussed Confucianism with Confucians. He also has a very strong Han cultural accomplishment, and he is endowed with poetry. He is plain to people and temperament, full of benevolence and morality, and looks like a gentleman. He was brave and resourceful, and soon became successful at a young age, and at the age of 18, he was named "General of the Fengguo". Later, his father Sent him to Jin Wushu (完燕宗弼) with the intention of training his son.
Yang Guang (stills)
With his outstanding military exploits, King Hailing was soon promoted to the rank of General of the Horse Riders, and in 1144 he was made a general of the Dragon and Tiger Guards, stationed in Zhongjing (present-day Beijing). In 1147, he was appointed as the left chancellor of Shangshu, and his career was smooth.
Golden Vulture (stills)
In 1135, Emperor Taizong of Jin died and Emperor Xizong of Jin succeeded to the throne.
Finish yan qi
After yan qi was drunk, he killed the royal courtiers, and even his own empress and royal family were killed one by one. Guan Yanliang felt a great threat, worried that he would die at any time, and was afraid that he would not be able to live forever. So he made up his mind to strike first and find an opportunity to kill Yan Qi.
Let's talk about the relationship between Jin Xizong and Yan Liang.
Finish Yan Zonggan
He was the grandson of Jin Taizu's Completed Yen Akuta, whose father died when he was very young. Later, Yan Liang's mother remarried to her brother-in-law, Guan Yan Zonggan~ that is, Guan Yan Liang's father. Finished Yan Zonggan is the son of Jin Taizu, so Finished Yan Liang has a lower status than Completed Yan Liang.
Finished Yan Zonggan was very good to Finished Yan Qi, carefully cared for and cultivated him, and pushed him to the throne. Finished Yan Liang and Finished Yan Liang are cousins, and now they are "step brothers", the relationship is even further, the two people eat and live together, grow up together, and have a close relationship. After inheriting the throne, Guan Yan liang was very good to Guan Yan Liang and gave him the greatest trust.
But I don't know that time flies, with the change of the roles of the two people, Yan Liang is no longer the teenager he was. Guanyan Liang always felt that the throne should be his, and with Guanyan Qiang killing the imperial family for no reason, Guanyan liang had a rebellious heart.
Late one night in December 1149, Yan Liang, with the help of his close confidant Ali Chuhu, secretly sneaked into the palace and prepared to attack Jin Xizong. Yan Liang led his men into the palace and killed his brother with his own hands. After that, he established himself as emperor and was known as the "King of Hailing".
Kim Tae-tae
After ascending to the throne, King Hailing massacred the members of the clan, and the descendants of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Yanzong, as well as the descendants of Emperor Taizong and the descendants of Taizu, were slaughtered. Other ministers and his rebellious cronies were also killed.
In terms of political achievements, Hailing King is still a relatively accomplished emperor.
Kim Tae-jong
He inherited the reforms of the Xizong era. In 1153, King Hailing moved the capital from Shangjing Huining Province (present-day southeast of Harbin) to Yanjing, renaming it Zhongdu (present-day Beijing). He also ordered people to build the imperial tomb on the outskirts of Beijing, leaving a brilliant page in the cultural history of the Chinese imperial tomb.
In order to consolidate his imperial power and suppress a large number of aristocratic opponents, Hailing King instead appointed a large number of Han, Khitan, Bohai and so on. To be honest, hailing king is a county king who governs the country well. During his reign, he reformed the official system, attached importance to the imperial examination, and encouraged the Jurchens to go south to cultivate. The imperial examination has enabled many talented people to get the opportunity to show their skills, whether it is Han, Khitan, Bohai, or Jurchen, as long as they have talent, they have a place to play. These measures have promoted ethnic integration and exchanges and promoted social progress and development.
Although the Hailing King had the ability to govern the country, his character was poor.
Beauty of the Golden Kingdom (stills)
He was extremely and absurd. As long as it is a beautiful woman, he does not care whether the family has a husband or a husband, no matter who the husband is, he is included in the harem and lets him be happy.
Yan Liang wanted to unify the north and south, so he used troops against the Southern Song Dynasty.
In order to facilitate the song dynasty, he planned to move the capital to Nanjing (汴京, i.e. Kaifeng) again, and ordered the palace to be overhauled. In order to build Fenjing, the troops were dispatched to build ships, and for a time the people were injured and the people were hurt, and there were many complaints. He ignored the people's resistance, levied tyrannically, and expanded his armaments.
Ethnic Minority Beauties (Stills)
In 1161, Yan Liang forcibly enconqued the people of all ethnic groups, divided the army into four roads, and invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale.
After Yan Liang invaded the Song Dynasty in the front, the Khitan people in the rear raised the banner of righteousness and launched an uprising.
Soon, Emperor Jin took advantage of the fire and robbery, took the opportunity to seize power, and announced the abolition of the Hailing King in Tokyo (present-day Liaoyang, Liaoning) and established himself as emperor. Soon, north of the Yellow River, it was announced that it would be annexed to the new emperor Jin Shizong.
The Hailing King, who was on the front line of the invasion of the Song Dynasty, received the news that the atmosphere was extremely strong, and he decided to continue the invasion to the south. However, when he met the famous Southern Song general Yu Yunwen, he completely failed to invade the Song and was beaten into the wilderness and fled.
Soon, the news of the defeated decadence and the fact that the Hailing King had been deposed spread among the army, and the army was discouraged. The general Yan Yuanyi colluded with his son to complete Yan Liang's bodyguards, reactionary mutiny, and shot him to death. A talented and ambitious, absurd emperor withdrew from the stage of history forever.
In 1162, Emperor Sejong of Jin deposed him as the King of Hailing Commandery (海陵郡王) and gave him the title of "炀". Later, he was later demoted to a commoner. In this way, the Hailing King was frozen in history.
Whether he is talented or talented, whether he is an emperor or an ordinary person or a person in a momentary cloud, if he does not even have the most basic and minimum "human nature", he will not be far from his failure and death. A person's ability is relatively limited, how can he be an enemy of the world? If the Hailing King knew how to take care of his men and the people, how could he be defeated so completely?
Friends! What do you think?
