It can be said that in the 5,000 years of power, no one in China has been able to resist this temptation. People who say that they can resist this kind of doubting power are most likely never enjoyed the pleasures of power. Power is a being who is above all. Wealth is like a newborn baby in front of it, ready to pinch him to death.
Up to the emperor and generals, the emperor's relatives and relatives. Down to the knife and pen officials, the people of Limin.
In history, there have been countless massacres in order to seize power, killing fathers and sons, slaughtering heroes, beheading all over the house, and cutting down grass and roots. How bloody and bloody, as violent as it is, as despicable as it is. Hu Hai can force his brother Fusu to death for the throne. How many young emperors in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty were murdered. Emperor Yang of Sui killed his father and brother for the throne. Even the most holy Tang Taizong Li Shimin would kill his brother in order to seize power. For the sake of his own rule, Zhu Di can kill Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans. The sound of the axe and the shadow of the candle, is it Zhao Kuangyi who killed Zhao Kuangyin?
In fact, these are all very easy to understand, and what is recorded in the official history is not necessarily the truth. In the face of sufficient motives for committing crimes, the rhetoric that wants to cover up is pale and weak. Because the temptation of power is too great. As the king of a country. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. With the power of life and death in your hands, other people's lives are within your thoughts. You say it's not very tempting. Therefore, it is too normal to kill a few people for the sake of the stability of one's power.
