(Kim Hee-jong, FinishEde-yeon)
Nine years of imperial rule, 1149 AD.
The third emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Xizong, suddenly noticed that there was a subtle anomaly above the court.
What's unusual?
The emperor found that his royal family was noble, and his cousin Yan Liang suddenly drifted a little.
This cousin has been smooth sailing in his career, and in June of the eighth year of the imperial reign, he paid homage to Pingzhang's political affairs and in November to the right chancellor. In the first month of the ninth year of the imperial unification, he also served as the marshal of the capital and received the title of Taibao.
The main work of the chancellor was to command the civil and military officials, the upper to help the emperor decide on major state affairs, and the marshal of Rendu to control the elite troops of the various battalions in Gyeonggi.
In this way, Comrade Yan Liang can be said to have held all the military and political power of the Jin Dynasty in his hands.
If it is just a courtier with heavy power, it is not a big deal, because in the era of feudal imperialism, whether it is the relatives of the emperor or the members of the imperial court, they are essentially working for the emperor.
Since they were part-time workers, the emperor had the power to dismiss or dismiss them at any time.
Moreover, working for the emperor was not protected by the Labor Law, so above the imperial court, one second he was still a high-powered nobleman, and the next second he might be deposed as a commoner and distributed to the frontier.
Of course, the emperor did not want to take Yan Liang's knife, no matter what, he was also his cousin, the emperor was at most, but he was a little jealous of Comrade Yan Liang.
But Yan Liang obviously didn't think so.
He believes that he is already one of the most important figures in the world with his left hand and the military and state power in his right hand.
Dealing with state affairs in the imperial court all day could not satisfy his restless heart, and Yan Liang said that I wanted to help the emperor himself to do something.
(Finish yan liang stone carving)
How can I help?
Here's your chance.
There was a scholar in the imperial court, surnamed Zhang Mingjun, Zhang Xueshi was a good style and elegant song, and he wrote well, often helped the emperor draft edicts, and was cautious in his daily life, and even won the emperor's heart.
Zhang Xueshi had a personal relationship with Comrade Wanyan Liang on the day, and even drafted an edict once, which just happened to let Comrade Wanyanliang see it.
After Yan Liang took a look at the edict, it turned out that the emperor wanted to raise funds from the people to repair water conservancy projects across the country.
The emperor's idea is very good, there is not enough silver in the treasury, you can let the people pay money first, after all, it is taken from the people, and it is also a good strategy to use it for the people.
However, Yan Liang had a different opinion, he believed that the taxation of servitude in this dynasty was already serious, and the state would not be able to pay for it itself if it built a water conservancy project, so why should it be collected in the private sector?
The people are still eating and wearing, and it is really inappropriate to collect additional money from them.
Disagreement with the emperor is normal.
Because the emperor is not virtuous, the emperor also has times to make mistakes.
The reason why the emperor wanted to find a group of ministers to discuss state affairs in the courtroom was, of course, because he hoped that everyone could work together to find a way.
If you have opinions and ideas, you can go up to the road, and even if you want, you can go straight into the palace and find the emperor himself to spit out your thoughts.
However, Comrade Yan Liang's brain circuitry is very strange, and he believes that instead of exchanging views with the emperor, it is better to directly put his ideas into practice.
So how do you put it into practice?
Quite simply, revise the edict.
Yan Liang let this Zhang Xueshi take a big swipe and directly made an earth-shaking revision of the content of the edict.
All the content formulated by the emperor was deleted, and his so-called insights were all added.
The edict was changed, but the last paragraph was still the name of the emperor himself.

After the edict was completed, Zhang Xueshi no longer delayed, and went to the imperial palace to review the edict with him.
The emperor took the edict and looked at it, and found that the paper was still paper, and the words were still words, but the content on it was completely different from what he had dictated before.
The emperor immediately asked, what is the matter, is this a mistake in my memory, or are you writing it wrong?
Zhang Xueshi said, you are not mistaken, I did not write wrong, the content of the edict was indeed changed, but it was not me who changed it, but your brother Guanyan Liang asked me to change it.
We have to admire Zhang Xueshi's courage.
He really shouldn't have let Yan Liang revise this edict.
In the era of feudal imperialism, the emperor, as the lord of the world, has always said that there is no difference between one and the other, and no matter whether the emperor says or acts, orders, or edicts of this system, once it is issued, there is no possibility of changing it.
Who can correct the Emperor? Who dares to correct the emperor?
Even if he was a heavy minister of the military and a state, the emperor's relatives and relatives of the state, and the act of changing the emperor's edict without authorization was also a great offense.
Today you revise the edict for me, and tomorrow you will still be the emperor of this world for me?
But the strange thing is that such a big thing, the emperor listened to it, just laughed it off, and ignored it.
But of course, everything would not be calm, Zhang Xueshi knelt down in His Highness, obviously seeing the emperor's clenched fist that had already revealed green tendons.
It was from this day that the emperor was like a changed person.
In the past, the emperor had a gentle temperament, a sharp intention to govern, treated Li Min with leniency and benevolence, and treated the ministers with courtesy and courtesy, but now, the emperor spends all day enjoying pleasures, drinking all day, as long as he is drunk, his temperament will inevitably change greatly, and he will kill people for reasons.
The emperor is very particular about killing people, not killing the secretaries of state, but killing the emperor's relatives and relatives.
Emperor Yan Yuan and Yan Cha la were brutally killed, and even Empress Pei Man was executed by the emperor.
(Empress Pei Man's image)
Everyone was panicked, and no one knew whether such a bad luck would fall on their heads tomorrow.
The king wants his subjects to die, and the subjects have to die.
But now the king does not want his subjects to die, but the king wants his relatives to die.
As the emperor's cousin, first, his relationship with the emperor's relatives could not be considered too far, and second, he was a powerful imperial court official, and he was usually arrogant and habitual, and it was difficult not to be targeted.
The royal family around them fell one by one, and this feeling of waiting for death would not be very good for Yan Liang.
Under this uneasy mood, GuanYanliang finally decided to take risks and play with big tickets.
How to play ticket big?
Quite simply, since he did not want to die under the emperor's butcher's knife, there was only one way to go, and that was:
Kill the emperor and become the emperor yourself.
When it comes to doing it, Yan Liang is not only a theoretical school, but also a doer.
He immediately united a group of clan ministers who were dissatisfied with the emperor in ordinary days, and attacked the palace at night, and actually killed the emperor who drank every day and drunk at night.
Yes, sir, it's that simple.
I think in recent years, some mainstream historians and novelists have described those palace coups and the seizure of the throne as too complicated.
A storm of coups d'état to seize power often seems to take years of hard work and painstaking management, as well as countless planning arrangements, to be realized.
But in fact, the way to kill the emperor may be very simple, it only takes a moment when the knife falls in the hand.
Or rather, the fate of Jin Xizong's completion of Yan Qi was actually already doomed, and when he began to decide to turn the butcher's knife inward and kill his relatives, history had already written for him the end of the rebellion.
Historically, when the emperor died, whether it was a normal death or a horizontal death, the whole country was bound to shake, the hundred officials were sad, and the people cried, but once Yan Qi died, all the people of the Jin Dynasty were relieved.
But the ministers seemed to be a little too early to relax.
Comrade GuanyanLiang, who took over the throne by killing the emperor, seemed to be a person who was even more than Xizong's completed Yan Liang.
(Throne)
Yan Liang had just sat on the bloody throne and immediately began to deliver his inaugural speech:
"I have three ambitions, and the major affairs of the country are all of my own, one; Shuai Shi cut far away, insisted on his monarch and asked the former, the second also; Regardless of the relatives and estranged, they are the best in the world and the wife, three also. - "History of Jin"
The testimonial is very long, but it is very simple to sum up, the emperor said, I have three ideals, the first ideal is that I hope that the major affairs of the country can be fully responsible for by me, and no one else can interfere.
The second ideal is to lead an expedition to destroy the Western Xia first, then the Southern Song Dynasty, and complete the long-cherished wish of the ancestors of all generations to wipe out the four seas and unify the world.
Realistically speaking, these first two ideals are not very problematic.
Not only is the problem not very big, but it is a very reasonable ideal.
As emperors, centralized power is their most basic standard, and the emperor wants all kinds of power to grasp at one hand, which is understandable.
And expanding the territory and making meritorious achievements is the common trait of most excellent emperors.
The emperor's problem lies in his third ideal.
What ideal?
The beauties of the world, whether they are folk women or the female relatives of the royal family, as long as I like them, I must get them all.
Yes, children make choices, adults all.
Moreover, in the process of realizing the ideal, the emperor had a great deviation in steps and sequences.
(Kim Dynasty)
It is reasonable to say that as an emperor, you should first strengthen the imperial power, stabilize the government (that is, the ideal one), and then lead the sixth division to go out on the expedition, open up the territory (that is, the ideal two), and finally achieve fame, push the country to a strong and prosperous world, and then consider these things of expanding the harem (that is, the ideal three), but the emperor put the cart before the horse, and before he began to work, he began to study how to enjoy.
Folk women are good to say, the emperor snatched it, but the female relatives in the royal family are really in some trouble.
First, some of these female relatives are their own close relatives, and second, some of them are already married and have become wives, and the emperor wants to occupy them, which is really inappropriate.
But the emperor didn't care about that, as long as he liked it, he would definitely grab it, and if he didn't follow it, he would kill the whole family first.
Friends, the two great hatreds in the world, taking wives and killing fathers, and complete yan liang are all occupied.
We really can't understand the behavior of this throne.
Obviously, he was also the victim of the emperor's butcher's knife, why did he transform himself into the emperor and resolutely raise the butcher's knife?
It seems that power can really completely change a person.
The lessons of the previous car, the master of the back car, and the emperor did not learn from it.
In terms of merit, he may not be as good as the previous emperor Xizong, but in terms of brutality, he is a top two, and he should not give in.
Zhengde 6 years, 1161 AD.
This year, calculated according to the chronology of the stem and branch, is the year of Xin Wei.
Across the sea, the 80th emperor of Japan, Emperor Takakura was born, he is a famous amorous emperor in Japanese history, in Japanese folklore, he and a number of concubines love stories have been circulated.

In the northern steppes, a Mongolian girl named Boerti was born, and in the future, she will marry a world-famous man named Genghis Khan.
It was also in this year that emperor Yan Liang of the Jin Dynasty was killed by his long-standing subordinates on the way to the Southern Song Dynasty, at the age of forty.
But that makes sense.
Born to be cruel, he will be burdened by cruelty.
Whoever kills is killed by a sexual person.
