If it is said that the former Zhao Emperor Liu Yao, who looks strange and "was born with white eyebrows and red eyes", I am afraid that no one will be out of his way. But on the strangeness of form, Li Shi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is a well-deserved figure...
Li Shi's fat and round body shape absolutely shocked the eyes of ordinary people. What does Li Shi's facial features look like? We don't know, but Li Qi, the second emperor of Chenghan, because of his "posture of love", is to see that he is quite pleasing to the eye, and he is named the general of the Yi Army and the son of the King of Han, from this point of view, Li Shi looks even if he is not very optimistic, it is estimated that he is not far behind, at least he has a place for people to see and appreciate. But when it comes to the form of this person, I really dare not compliment him.
The strange shape is actually a meat ball
Li Shi's body shape is probably spherical. Just looking at its "seven feet nine inches long and fourteen circumferences of the belt", two numbers are already very telling. One foot in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, about 24.centimeters now, seven feet nine inches, is the size of one meter eight and nine, compared with Liu Yao, who is "nine feet three inches long", and nearly two heads shorter. This is not to say that his height is superior, the key is his width, his huge waist, horizontal and unmatched. Wei is a quantifier that indicates length, and there are two interpretations in the dictionary: one refers to the length of the two fingers and the index finger, which is the circumference of the circle; the other is the length of the two arms. The latter mostly describes ancient trees, chimneys, towers and so on, and Li Shi's waist cannot be thicker than the tower, so it cannot be pressed. Even according to the former, "fourteen circumferences of the belt", it is also impossible.
We can make a rough estimate. According to the hands of ordinary people, the thumb and index finger are circumferential, the diameter is calculated by 10 centimeters, the circumference is about 30 centimeters, and the 14 circumference is more than 400 centimeters, more than 4 meters, 12 feet, so the waist circumference can be described as rare in the world. Slightly later than him, the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Helian Bobo, was "eight feet and five inches long, with a belt of ten circumferences", which was already quite strong and stout. Li Shi was even a third thicker than him, almost a monster. I don't know if there is an exaggerated component in this, but it is almost catching up with the height horizontally, and it is basically an ellipsoid. And he also has a habitual action, "good at pitching", that is, the head always likes to look up and down, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with the cervical spine. People who are so rounded must also have a huge head, constantly doing reciprocating movements up and down, which has some comic effects, so it is not surprising that "people are different from time to time".
Fainting and brutal and absurd
Li Shi was the fourth and last emperor of the Cheng Han Dynasty. Chenghan is a regime of displaced people established in Sichuan by the BaQi Li clan during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, that is, a state established by displaced people gathering together. The capital of Chenghan is set in Chengdu, and there are two national names, called Cheng in the early stage and Han in the later period, so it is customary to call it Chenghan. Han was originally the title of Li Shi's father Li Shou, and later Li Shou, the King of Han, killed Li Qi, the Duke of You, before changing the name of the country to Han, and in 343 AD, Li Shou died of illness and Li Shi took the throne.
To be precise, Chenghan had begun to decline since the death of the founding emperor Li Xiong, and by the time Li Shi ascended the throne, Chenghan had no vitality to speak of. Li Shi is also a narrow-minded person, "sexually jealous", this character makes him lose people's hearts, and it also makes the Cheng Han Kingdom more decayed. The most typical example is the entanglement of the right to inherit the throne. Li Shi had no heirs, so who would inherit the throne became a problem, and Li Shi's younger brother, the great general and King of Han, Li Guang, "asked to be his brother-in-law" and took the initiative to propose the idea of being a successor, and the chancellor Ma Dang and Xie Siming also "firmly persuaded Xu Zhi" and resolutely supported Li Guang. This aroused Li Shi's suspicions, and without saying a word, he killed Ma Dang and Xie Siming, and also cut down the grass and roots of the "Yiqi Three Tribes", the means were fierce enough, and then Li Shi sent the Taibao Li Yi to attack Li Guang, forcing Li Guang to commit suicide. Brothers cannibalism naturally made people panic, and Moreover, Ma Dang and Xie Siming were both authoritative figures in the DPRK at that time, with strategies and popularity. Such a person with high hard work and merit said that if he killed, he would kill, and for a while "people were afraid of danger" in the DPRK.
The emperor is the backbone of a country, and the emperor's behavior also determines the rise and fall of the country to some extent. And the absurdity of the emperor is undoubtedly the catalyst for the decline of a country or dynasty. It is said that the emperor's lust is not nothing, but if it becomes professional, it will have a great negative effect, and there are many such examples in the dynasties and dynasties. Li Shi's lust is somewhat professional, almost to the point of unscrupulousness, as long as he has a crush on anyone's wife, he will "kill and take his wife", kill his husband and rob his wife, and make him panic up and down, not knowing when disaster will come to his head. Li Shi "often resides in the interior, rarely seeing the secretary of state", and only cares about pleasure in the harem every day, ignoring the government and politics. Coupled with the "pro-appointment of the left and right villains", so that it made up and down centrifugal, even Li Yi later reversed, for a while "Shu people have many from Yi, as many as tens of thousands", many people responded. When Li Shi put down the rebellion, the national strength was almost exhausted.
Forced to surrender and died in humiliation
Civil strife in this way gives the outside world an opportunity to take advantage of it. Some ethnic minorities in the southwest originally lived in mountainous areas, and when they saw the civil unrest in the Chenghan Dynasty, they slowly infiltrated into the interior, and on the line of Qianwei and Zitong, "clothed in the valley, more than 100,000 fell." The number of people was considerable, and the spread was unstoppable, and these people were "greatly troubled by the people", which caused many social contradictions. At that time, the domestic situation in Chenghan became an embarrassing situation of "rebellion against the Yi Dynasty, military defense and lack of deficiency, and increasing prosperity in the world", with internal and external troubles and a sudden decline in the country's situation. At that time, the Taiping prosperity of "the people are rich and noble, and the door is not closed" pioneered by Emperor Wu LiXiong has now disappeared. In this case, the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked, and Cheng Han was quickly defeated without suspense.
In fact, the Eastern Jin Dynasty also always wanted to destroy Cheng han, and at that time, Later Zhao in the north wanted to ally with Cheng Han in order to form a semi-encirclement of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and jointly destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to quickly break this possible alliance, the elimination of Cheng Han became the top priority of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because comparatively speaking, Hou Zhao's strength was much stronger, and after destroying Hou Zhao, the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have that ability. So the general Huan Wen waved his division to the west, advancing on land and water, and the Jin army was like a broken bamboo, and soon hit Chengdu.
People who have been in gentle townships all day will definitely not have the dignity of sacrificing their lives for the country, and Li Shi is like this. Seeing that the general situation had gone, he "sent a letter to Wen" and asked for his life to be saved. The words written in surrender are cut to the point, very touching, saying that "Li Shi prostrated his head to death", which offended the Heavenly Wei of your Great Jin, the Jin army was brave and brave, and he himself "looked up and bowed, and the spirit flew away", and compared himself to "the fish of the poor pool", and "waiting for the moment to miss the carving". Li Shi "tied the military gate with a sword face", pulled the coffin with a cart, and tied himself to the city gate to be surrendered, and Cheng Han was thus destroyed. From 304 AD, when Li Xiong was proclaimed king of Chengdu, to Li Shi's surrender in 347, the State of Chenghan coexisted for 44 years. After Huan Wen escorted Li Shi to Jiankang, the Eastern Jin Dynasty treated him well, made him the Marquis of Guiyi, and lived another 14 years of stability, and finally died of illness in Jiankang.
