In 403 AD, there was a landlord named Wang Shi in Shandong, who dreamed of becoming an emperor. So he gathered three thousand people, put on dragon robes, proclaimed himself the Taiping Emperor, and declared war on the Southern Yan regime.

This is really the courage to die, to starve the timid, without power, without background, without power. It was also very refreshing to be addicted to the Yellow Emperor every day, and later Wang Shi even took advantage of the victory to pursue, claiming to be sent by the immortals to encourage the villagers to rebel with him.

Wang Shi gathered 3,000 people in Laiwu to call himself the Taiping Emperor, he was not satisfied with his civilian origins, he gave his father, brother, brother, and wife the name, his father became a Taishang Emperor, his brother and brother became the two generals of Zhengdong and Zhengxi respectively, and also made his wife Jiefa empress.

Emperor Murong De of Southern Yan was furious when he heard of Wang Shi's disobedience and quickly gathered an official army to suppress Wang Shi's rebellious army.

Murong De sent Murong Zhen, the king of Guiyang, to attack, and the rebel army was all a ragtag bunch, some of whom dragged their families to eat and drink together, although they said that they would resist, but they certainly could not resist the regular army, and in the end they were defeated due to the disparity between the masses, and Wang Shi was captured.

When the captured king and his wife were about to be beheaded, the beheading officer asked where his father and brother were now. Wang Shi said, "Emperor Taishang was out in the dust, and general Zhengxi was killed by the rebel army, leaving him alone. ”

His wife Zhao Shi said angrily, "You are causing trouble because of this mouth, and you are still speaking wildly to this day." ”

Wang Shi replied, "The Empress still can't see through the Mandate of Heaven?" Since ancient times, has there been a country that does not destroy its home and does not perish? Even if he dies, he will not change the emperor's name. ”

When the beheading officer saw that Wang Shi was dead and unrepentant, he made a look at the executioner, and the executioner hit Wang Shi's head with the back of the knife, and Wang Shi did not show the slightest expression of fear.

The executioner, fearing that he would also say something unfavorable to the Yan kingdom, raised his knife and fell, and a generation of grassy heroes were beheaded in Guanggu City.

When Murong De heard about this, he ridiculed Wang for not being able to measure up.

Murong De ridiculed Wang Shi, but he took fifty steps and laughed a hundred steps, and after his death, he passed on the throne to his nephew Murong Chao, who was extravagant and abused the clan, and the hearts of the people in the country were scattered.

In 410, the Eastern Jin general Liu Yu attacked the Yan capital, razed Guanggu City, and wiped out the upper echelons of Southern Yan. Murong Chao, the lord of the late Southern Yan Dynasty, was kidnapped to the execution ground and killed by the neck, all three thousand people below the princes and nobles were beheaded, more than 10,000 family members were not slaves, and southern Yan was wiped out, and finally ended up with the same fate as the Wang Shi Empire.

This is really a great irony, as the leader of the peasant uprising, Wang Shi's fame is far from catching up with Chen Sheng, Li Zicheng, and Hong Xiuquan, but he was still able to maintain his temperament before his execution, not to be afraid, and this heart is afraid that it will also be impressed by posterity.
