Preface
There have been many emperors in the history of the mainland, some of whom were politically minded and concerned about the world, but there were also many tyrants who were extravagant.
They are happy to marry beauties every day, there is the wine pond meat forest of the king of Xu, and there is a scene where the emperor lets the palace maid wear open crotch pants to marry the music, and there are more ancient books that record the saying of "stinky man, dirty Tang, Song buryed, Yuan confused, Ming sloppy, and clear nose".
The stinky Han and Dirty Tang Dynasty refers to the Han and Tang dynasties called the prosperous era, in fact, the palace is filthy and chaotic, and it does not abide by etiquette at all, and the source is "Dream of Red Mansions", which is a more extreme view of Confucianism.
But who would have thought that these mainland countries are simply "small in comparison" with ancient Rome.
I can't imagine how chaotic ancient Rome was at that time.
Ancient Rome in chaos
In the history of the mainland, "stinky men, dirty Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty burial, Yuan confusion, Ming sloppy, and snotty nose".
It is the most direct introduction to the various dynasties in the history of the mainland, how chaotic they are.
Among them, the stinky man and dirty Tang are from the summary of "Dream of Red Mansions", which means that the Tang Dynasty that we think of as prosperous actually has a lot of dark sides that we don't know about.
It is not uncommon for a son to marry his father's wife, and for a father to marry his son's wife.
In ancient times, polygamy was practiced, so it is not an exaggeration for a son to marry a father's wife, and a father to marry a son's wife.
Among them, Li Zhiying's marriage to Wu Zetian is the most straightforward proof, Wu Zetian is the wife of Li Zhi's father, and he is his real mother, but he was included in the harem after Li Zhi ascended the throne.
This kind of behavior has been common in ancient times on the mainland, but even if it has become like this, it is still not as chaotic as it was in ancient Rome!
Ancient Rome can be said to be the origin of Western culture, whether it is the language used in the West today, or the laws and policies used, as well as the religious beliefs of the people, all of which are related to the ancient Roman period.
It can be said that from ancient times to the present, foreigners' minds have been much more open than ours, and the mainland has always paid attention to courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame from ancient times to the present, but it seems that in Western countries, they do not have any such ideas at all.
What kind of chaotic love like "homosexuality and polyamorous" has really reached the point where it can be seen everywhere on the streets in ancient Rome.
This kind of chaotic love relationship will definitely lead to the occurrence of various diseases, and at that time it was not that the emperor of ancient Rome did not care, but that even the emperor of ancient Rome was abnormal.
Not only are they extravagant, but they are also very unhealthy, psychologically, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
And this is the real reason why ancient Rome fell, and historians say of this: "Ancient Rome was confused because of its fornication." ”
In the three novels "The Legend of Kings", "The Rule of God", and "The Last Consul", the history of ancient Rome's dirt and fornication is clearly written.
What homosexuality and love triangles in the history of ancient Rome, polyamory are already very common, among which there are close relatives who are married, and they are also married to their own father's own brothers.
She was the queen of ancient Rome, named Agrippina the Younger, and she was the empress, and the emperor turned out to be her own uncle Claudius.
Marriage between close relatives is already a bit against human nature, and medically, marriage between close relatives is not allowed at all, and now even the law has clearly stipulated that it is not possible to marry close relatives.
This is because the risk of malformations and even various diseases in babies due to consanguineous marriages has increased dramatically.
But in ancient Rome, they didn't care about these at all, she was not a queen, but in order to seize the position of the queen, it took a lot of means to kick the original queen down, and then she sat in the position of the queen.
Naturally, her son must be the emperor, and little Agrippina tried her best to send her son to the emperor's position, but in the end, this is the end.
After Agrippina's son became emperor, Agrippina the younger was very strict with him, and it can be said that her son was nothing more than his puppet, because even if he sat in the position of emperor, he had to listen to Agrippina the little in everything.
This made him very uncomfortable sitting in the emperor's position, sitting in a position above one person and below ten thousand people, but he still couldn't help himself, and he couldn't do anything at all.
In the end, little Agrippina was killed by her own son!
Emperor Nero, who had no one to care about, directly began to let himself go, using his power to start looking for women all over the country, and was finally killed by slaves.

There is no one in the emperor's position, and everyone has a wrong idea about this position, even if someone has used his power to sit in the emperor's position, but there are many, many people who are not convinced.
Riots, rebellions, and a lot of things happened in one year, which also made ancient Rome change 4 emperors in a row in just one year.
Nero is rumored to be a so-called tyrant, but there are also historical records that Nero is a good image of being loved by the country, not only issuing many cheerful decrees and regulations.
So much so that after Nero's death, many people still miss him and miss Nero when he was the emperor, because as soon as Nero died, all the powerful and powerful people fought for the position of this emperor.
And the reason why Nero has the image of a tyrant is because of the spread of Christianity, and it is all because of their early hatred and disgust for Nero.
Because at the time of Nero's reign, there was a great contradiction between him and Christianity, so that after that, Nero's image was demonized, and it has been passed down to the present.
In addition to these, the Colosseum is also the best proof of the chaos of the ancient Roman period,
Using people's lives to stimulate adrenaline, so that the audience will have an explosion of adrenaline, and all kinds of bloody scenes are actually just entertainment activities for the nobles to enjoy.
