The One-Eyed Emperor's Birth

Amaranth

Gong Sheng ( 苻生 ) , the second emperor of the Former Qin Empire.

In 349, the tyrant Shi Hu died, and the Later Zhao Dynasty went into decline.

Former Qin, the former Vassal of Later Zhao, took the opportunity to establish Former Qin, which was also the most powerful state during the Sixteen Kingdoms period in the North.

Former Qin's founding emperor Jian Jian was The Father of Gong Sheng, and the founder was His Grandfather Gong Hong.

He has been a bear child since he was a child, and Grandpa Gonghong does not like him very much.

His temper may be related to his inferiority complex, because he is a deformed child who was born with one eye.

One day, Xiang Hong was in a good mood and wanted to tease this seven-year-old one-eyed grandson to play, and asked the waiter: "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?" ”

Tosei's reaction to Grandpa's jokes exceeded everyone's imagination.

He raised a knife and stabbed at his blind eye, a line of blood flowed down, and then he roared: "This is also a line of tears!" ”

Xiang Hong was shocked, this boy is too bloody, and he will pay it back when he grows up? He picked up the whip and smoked wildly at his grandson.

But instead of asking for forgiveness, Fu Sheng continued to irritate his grandfather: "I was born not afraid of knife stabbing, and I am still afraid of your whip?" ”

Fu Hong was furious and reprimanded, "If you boy doesn't repent, be careful that I reduce you to a slave!" ”

Fu Sheng continued to scold Grandpa: "I'm 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.

Younger brother Zhixiong advised Jian Jian: "The little nephew will naturally correct his mistakes when he grows up, so how can he say that if he kills him, he will kill him?" ”

This sentence saved the life of this beast.

After growing up, it became a combat robot.

He can lift thousands of guns, be brave and killable, can fight with beasts of prey with his bare hands, run faster than horses, and surpass them no matter how hard he hits and stabs. When Huan Wen, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, attacked Former Qin, Xiangsheng rode into the enemy position and captured the flag more than ten times, which made the Jin army feel frightened.

In 351, Gongsheng's father, Jian Jian( 苻健), proclaimed himself Heavenly King and Da Dan Yu, established the Former Qin regime, and made his eldest son Zhi Chang the crown prince, the second son Zhi Liang the King of Pingyuan, and the third son Gong Sheng the King of Huainan.

Later, Cangchang died by an arrow in the war, and the position of prince was vacated.

Who should be chosen as the prince? When Jian Jian was considering it, a folk proverb appeared: three sheep and five eyes.

Jian Jian was very concerned about this proverb, thinking that it was most likely that the heavens were signaling him to let the blind Zhisheng succeed to the throne.

It's a brain teaser.

A sheep should have two eyes, and three sheep should have six eyes. Why five? There should be a sheep blind in one eye.

From the one-eyed sheep Jian Jian thought of the one-eyed child Zhisheng, and in this way, the new prince was born.

Before his death, Jian Jian appointed Taishi, Cheng Xiang, Tai Fu, Sikong, Shang Shu Ling, Shang Shu Left Servant, Shangshu Right Servant, and Shangshu Shangshu as his ministers to assist Gongsheng.

At the same time, in private, Jian Jian left his son Zhisheng a unique way to govern the country: "If the Liuyi chieftain and the ministers in power do not obey your orders, then get rid of them immediately." ”

In 355, Jian Jian fell ill and died, and the 21-year-old crown prince took the throne on the same day, officially beginning his bloody life.

Former Qin's founding emperor Jian Jian

Soon after succeeding to the throne, Yuan Shouguang was ordered by Yuan Sheng.

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." ”

After hearing this, He sheng was furious and chased after the first person to make a suggestion. In the end, it was found that it was Duan Chun, the right servant of the auxiliary minister, who immediately ordered him to be beheaded.

During Fu Jian's reign, the general Qiang Huai was heroically martyred in the battle against Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

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 was furious: "The canonization needs to be issued at my discretion, so why can you ask for it?" Take a bow and arrow, and one arrow pierces the woman's neck.

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.

Xiang Sheng said: "The empress and the emperor are facing the world, which is enough to cope with the change of great mourning." Mao Taifu, Liang Cheqi, and Liang Shufei were ordered to assist the government, and can be described as ministers. "

What does this mean? Since heaven wants to bring calamity, let the empress and the highly respected auxiliary ministers respond to the disaster.

The ministers thought the emperor was talking nonsense, but they didn't expect him to do it.

A few days later, he actually took the blade and went straight to the Middle Palace. Empress Liang stood up to greet her, and before she could speak, the blade had already cut her neck.

Fei Sheng killed Empress Liang and immediately summoned the arrest of Taifu Maogui, the che general Liang Leng, and the left servant Liang An, and immediately beheaded him without questioning.

Soon, Qiang Xianglei'er just spoke up, making Xiang Sheng feel murderous again.

This time the killing was very thorough, killing Lei Wei'er and his nine sons and twenty-seven grandchildren.

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, his achievements were brilliant, from the queen concubines to the secretaries of state and the servants, more than 500 people died.

But he felt that the number of people killed was far from enough.

One day, Gong Sheng summoned a banquet in the Taiji Hall and ordered Shang Shu Xin to be the wine supervisor, so that he was extremely drunk. The group of ministers drank until they were drunk, and Xin Jiao was afraid that the group of ministers would be drunk and lose their dignity, and the persuasion was not very positive.

Angry, he said, "Why don't you persuade people to drink and sit stupidly?" As he spoke, he took the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it through Xin's neck.

The courtiers were so frightened that they all began to drink heavily, so that they were so drunk that they were so drunk that the vomit stained the imperial clothes, and many people fell off their official hats, and their heads fell to the ground drunk, but Fu Sheng laughed wildly for fun.

XiangSheng mobilized the people of Sanfu to build the Weishui Bridge, and Cheng Qiu, the Grand Master of Jin Ziguanglu, believed that this would hinder farming, so he wrote a letter of advice, and Zhisheng was immediately killed.

Guanglu Doctor Qiang Ping really couldn't see it, so he entered the temple and advised Gongsheng to love the civil gods. Before he could finish speaking, Hesheng ordered him to use a chisel to cut through the top of Qiangping's head.

Who is QiangPing? Fu Sheng's maternal uncle. Fu Sheng's mother, Empress Qiang, died of depression and hunger strike due to the death of her brother.

One night, Zhisheng ate too many dates, and the next morning his stomach was uncomfortable, so he summoned the Tai Doctor to order Cheng Yan to let him diagnose the pulse.

Cheng Yan said, "Your Majesty has no other illness, that is, he eats too much jujube." "You are not a saint, how do you know that I have eaten dates?" "Kill Cheng Yan."

Once, another doctor combined with a fetal medicine, and the ginseng added by Zhisheng was too small. The doctor said, "A little bit is enough." Xiang Sheng scolded angrily, "Do you dare to laugh at me?" Order the doctor's eyes to be ripped off and then beheaded.

It turned out that The doctor had misunderstood that the doctor had ridiculed himself for being blind in one eye. Because of the lack of one eye, Hesheng was particularly taboo to say words such as "crippled, missing, partial, only, less, none, incomplete", and countless people were killed for mispronouncing these words. The number of wives and concubines who have been amputated, cut off, swore, and sawn necks is innumerable.

This is really a scene that makes people cry and laugh, and almost all the clans, xuns, and relatives in the dynasty have become disabled.

One night, Xiang Sheng dreamed that a big fish ate grass, and there was also a rumor in Chang'an City: "The big fish in the East China Sea turn into a dragon, and the men are kings and daughters." Suspecting that yuzun was talking about it, he killed Taishi, Lu Shangshushi, Guangning Gongyuzun, and his seven sons and ten grandsons.

At this point, all eight of the assistant ministers left by Jian Jian were killed, and none of them died well.

Fei Sheng and Ai Fei climbed the stairs to look at the distance, and his concubine pointed to a person downstairs and asked for the name of Gong Sheng's official position. Xiang Sheng saw that it was Shang Shu's servant who shot Jia Xuanshi. Jia Xuanshi is beautiful and beautiful, known as a beautiful man.

The emperor was jealous and asked, "Have you taken a fancy to this man?" With that, he unsheathed his sword and handed it to the guards, who went downstairs with the sword and cut Jia Xuanshi's head.

Xiang Sheng put Jia Xuanshi's head into Aifei's hand and sneered, "If you like it, I'll send you well."

In addition to killing people, Fu Sheng is also very perverted.

One day out on a trip, he met a man and a woman on the road, and asked, "Are you two really good couples, are you married?" The two replied, "Xiaomin is a brother and sister, not a husband and wife." Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "If you are given a husband and wife, you can have fun here, please don't resign." The two refused, and Gongsheng immediately drew his sword and hacked the brother and sister to death.

Another example is the raw stripping of cattle, sheep, donkeys, and horses, so that these skinned livestock are grouped in groups of thirty or fifty and placed in the main hall for viewing.

Another example is to peel off the face of death row prisoners, forcing them to sing and dance with their jaws hanging on their faces, "watching and enjoying themselves."

After nearly two years of tossing and turning, his interest in killing people became more and more intense.

One day, idle and bored, He sheng asked, "Since I ruled the world, what have you heard outside?" Someone replied, "The Holy Ming Monarch rules over the world, the rewards are proper, the punishment is severe, and the people of the world are singing the praises of the Peace and prosperity." Fei Sheng was furious: "You are flattering to Yuan! "Pull out and kill."

Another day, Hesheng asked this question again, and the other person learned to be obedient and replied, "Your Majesty's punishment is a little too much." He was furious again: "You slander! "This man was also killed.

This question is too difficult, how to answer is wrong, how to answer is dead.

Everyone was in danger, and no one was expecting him to die early.

In 357, Gong Sheng wanted to kill his cousin King Jian jian of the East Sea, but the news leaked out, and Jian Jian took the initiative and led more than 300 people into the palace.

The soldiers of Su Wei all hated Gong Sheng, and without any resistance, they actually followed Gong Jian and killed them together in the palace.

He was drunk and sleeping. Hearing the noise, he asked, "Why did these people trespass?" Left and right replied, "It's a thief." With drunken eyes, he said, "Since you say you are a thief, why don't you meet him?"

Seeing that the crowd did not worship, He sheng became angry: "Those who do not worship will be beheaded!" ”

It was really black humor that amused the coup soldiers, and the knife in his hand almost laughed off the ground. Obviously it was a tragedy, but he made it into a comedy.

When the wine woke up, He Sheng realized that he had become a prisoner of the order, so he had to seek pleasure in the wine every day.

Jian Jian sent force Zhi Sheng to commit suicide.

Before his death, he drank several times, fell to the ground drunk, unconscious, and was strangled to death by the messenger at the age of 23.

Appendix: Sheng, word changsheng, the third son of Ken no. Young and rough, drunk and rogue, Zu Hong is very evil. Born without a glance, at the age of seven, Hong Xizhi asked the waiter, "I heard a tear from a blind child, believe it?" The waiter said "Yes". Angry, he stabbed himself with a sabre and bled, saying, "This is also a tear!" "Hong, whip, born: "Sexual resistance to knives, can not withstand whipping." Hong Yue: "Ru is endless, and I will take Ru as a slave." Sheng Yue: "Not as good as Shi Leye." "Fearful, he stomped and covered his mouth. Jian Yue said: "This is a wild rebellion, it is advisable to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, when you grow up, you will break the family." "Jian will kill it, and the male will stop it: "The child grows into a self-modification, why make it so." "Ken nai stop. And long, powerful, brave and easy to kill, hand beast, walking and galloping horses, stabbing and shooting, the crown is outstanding. In the beginning, Jian's eldest son died, and his birth mother Qiang's intention was to have less sons, Liu, and Jian had the saying of "three sheep and five eyes", so he established it.
