One of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the second emperor of the former Qin state was named Zhisheng (苻生), also known as Changsheng (苻生), a member of the Xian clan, who was born in the first year of the Reign of Emperor Xiankang of jin (335 AD).
The Book of Jin, the Records of Former Qin and other historical records record that Zhisheng was "young and rogue, and Zu Hong was very evil." When he was a child, Hong Xizhi asked the waiter: 'I heard a tear from a blind child, do you believe it?' The waiter said, "Yes." 'Angry, lead the saber to stab itself and bleed..."
When he was a child, he was unreasonable and blind in one eye, and one day, his grandfather Fu Hong teased him, so he asked the attendant next to him: "I heard that when the one-eyed child cried, there was only one line of tears, I don't know if this is the case?" ”
One of the attendants beside Fu Hong replied, "It should be, huh! ”
Then the crowd burst into laughter.
Fu Sheng heard his grandfather taunt himself in front of everyone and was furious, so he raised a knife and stabbed himself in the blind eye, a line of blood flowed down, and then indignantly said: "This is also a line of tears!" ”
Fu Hong and his attendants were shocked, this little calf Nyima was also too bloody! Fu Hong then picked up the horse whip and pumped wildly at his grandson.
Instead of begging for forgiveness, Fu Sheng continued to provoke his grandfather, saying, "I was born with a knife and a stab, and the whip whipping is like tickling!" ”
Fu Hong was furious and reprimanded, "If you boy doesn't repent, be careful that I reduce you to a slave!" ”
Fu Sheng replied to his grandfather: "I am not as good as Shi Le!" ”
Shi Le was the founding emperor of the Zhao State after the Sixteen Kingdoms, originally born as a slave, Fu Sheng's implication is that he became a slave and could emulate Shi Le's rebellion.
Fu Hong was furious and persuaded his son Jian Jian: "This boy is extremely rebellious, and he should get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, this cargo will ruin our entire family when it grows up!" ”
Jian Jian listened to his father's persuasion and planned to kill the contrarian son Fu Sheng.
Jian Jian's younger brother, Fu Sheng's uncle Gong Xiong, dissuaded: "When a child grows up, he will naturally correct his mistakes, so how can he say that if he kills them, he will kill them?" ”
Jian then gave up the idea of getting rid of his son.
As Fu Sheng grew up, he "lifted a thousand guns with strength and a fierce beast in his hands", and when he ran up, he could catch up with the galloping warhorse, and he was the best at riding and shooting and assassinating kung fu.
During the Huanwen Northern Expedition, Fu Sheng single-handedly rushed to the position of the Jin army, beheaded the Jin generals, took away the battle flag, and killed dozens of people successively.
In the first year of the emperor's reign (351 AD), Jian Jian established the Former Qin Empire and proclaimed himself emperor.
Because of the domestic proverb "three sheep and five eyes", Jian Jian insisted on establishing Fu Sheng as the crown prince despite the opposition of his ministers, and the Former Qin Empire caused an unprecedented disaster.
In the first year of the emperor's reign (351 AD), Jian Jian died of illness, and the twenty-one-year-old crown prince Fu Sheng took the throne, during which he was cruel and tyrannical, which could be called full of evil and exterminated humanity.
As soon as Fu Sheng came to power, he issued an edict to change Yuan Shouguang. The group of ministers said: "The first emperor Yan drove not long ago, and has not yet changed the year, so it is not appropriate to change the year number." ”
Fu Sheng did not listen, and because of this, he was furious and chased after the first person to make a suggestion.
In July of the first year of Shouguang (355), Fu Sheng killed Duan Chun, the right servant who proposed to change the era name.
During Fu Jian's reign, the general Qiang Huai was martyred heroically in the battle against Huan Wen.
After Fu Sheng ascended the throne, Qiang Huai's wife Fan Shi wrote a letter hoping that the imperial court would recognize Qiang Huai and crown his son.
Fu Sheng did not know which tendon was wrong, and actually "shot and killed" Fan Shi, the wife of the hero' strong heart.
In September of the same year, Zhongshu Supervisor Hu Wen, Wang Yu, and others proposed that within three years there would be an astrological catastrophe, and advised the emperor that he should "cultivate virtue" and pray to the heavens to avoid disasters.
Fu Sheng went so far as to kill Empress Liang, Empress Dowager Liang's grandfather Liang An, Empress's uncle Taifu Lu Shangshu Maogui, Shangshu Ling Liang, and others, believing that they would be spared the disaster.
Soon, Fu Sheng thought that he had not killed enough, so he killed all of qilai's weak children and their nine sons and twenty-seven grandsons.
Fu Sheng killed most of the time as an executioner himself, "bending the bow and exposing the knife all day long to meet the courtiers, hammering and pincer sawing and chiseling, and preparing left and right." "In less than a year, more than 500 people died, from concubines to ministers and servants.
In the first month of the second year of Shouguang (356), Fu Sheng listened to the rumors of the chancellor Dong Rong that "the disaster of the eclipse should be treated by a noble subject", and killed the King of Sikong.
Once, Fu Sheng summoned a group of courtiers to a banquet, and Shang Shu Ling Xin Cai persuaded him to drink, and suddenly, Fu Sheng found that the ministers were not drunk enough, so he angrily rebuked: "Why don't you open the luo liquor bureau, what are you doing sitting stupidly?" So he drew a bow and arrow and shot Xin Cai.
Next, the terrified ministers began to drink heavily, so that they were so drunk that they were so drunk that the vomit stained their imperial clothes, and many people fell off their official hats, and their unkempt heads fell to the ground drunk, but Fu Sheng laughed wildly for fun.
In addition to killing people, Emperor Fusheng was also very perverted, he either stripped cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, and castrated chickens and ducks alive, so that these skinned livestock and animals were placed in groups of thirty or fifty, placed in the main hall, or stripped of the faces of death row prisoners, and ordered them to sing and dance, "watching and enjoying."
The ministers and attendants around them can be said to be living like years, and some people fled the former Qin State and congratulated each other, saying: "It can be regarded as escaping from the tiger's mouth!" ”
Fu Sheng also cut off people's calves, sniped pregnant women's stomachs, and killed thousands of people who were tortured to death by ripping off ribs and sawing heads.
Fu Sheng's tyranny and ruthlessness finally triggered a total outbreak of his subordinates.
In June of the third year of Shouguang (357), Fu Sheng's cousin (Fu Xiong's son) Fu Jian, Fu Fa, and others angrily launched a mutiny, deposed Fu Sheng, and soon killed this living King of Yan to Xie Tianxia, and Fu Jian established himself as the Great Qin Heavenly King, ending Fu Sheng's brutal rule.
