Gay emperor
Homosexuality is a fashionable word, but it doesn't conform to China's national conditions, because its existence in China is very old, and Liu Xin, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is one of them.
Dong Xian, handsome and the son of Dong Gong, was chosen as Prince Scheeren. Eddie fell in love with him, named him Dong Menlang, named his father Baling Mausoleum, and moved to Guanglu to be a doctor. Before long, Dong Xian became Xu's assistant, which was recorded in Han Dong Xianchuan. At this time, Dong Xian "went out to participate in cycling, entered the royal left and right, and rewarded huge sums of money in October, which shocked the court." They are inseparable and share the same bed.
Once, when Eddie woke up, his sleeve was pinned down by Dong Xian. He was afraid of waking his "lover" by pulling his sleeve, so he cut it off with a knife, showing the depth of his love. Eddie also built a palace similar to the Imperial Palace for Dong Xian, and gave the best imperial articles to Dong Xian, while he himself used inferior products. In order to be with his lover forever, he built a tomb for Dong Xian beside his own tomb.
In the Biography of Han Dongxian, Emperor Ai once jokingly said to Dong Xian, "What if I want to practice Buddhism and Zen?" Ministers were dumbfounded. Such love is rare in history. So loyal to love, of course, national affairs are very bad. Less than 10 years after the death of Ai Di, Wang Mang usurped the throne and established a new dynasty.
The layman emperor
Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of Qi, was a famous bad king. He catches mice, sleeps late, drives people away and goes out to play ... He has all kinds of strange behaviors, but his most famous quirk is opening a shop.
According to "Seven Books of Nanqi", Hunhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty "was in Yuan Zhongli City again, and the official entered the wine, meat and miscellaneous vegetables every day, which made the imperial secretary kill him, Pan Fei was the city order, and the emperor was the duke, so he was punished. Those who fight for it will be sentenced to Pan Fei. " There are thousands of people playing with him, and half of the people in Beijing are scared to run around.
There is a similar record in the Chapter of Southern History Qi Benji: "We opened a canal again, bowed our heads and led the boat, set up a shop on it, and sat down to kill meat." The eccentric behavior of Dong Hunhou and Pan Fei was very popular at that time. There was a folk song: "Read my hall, plant willows, kill meat supreme, and drink Pan Fei wine."
Dong Hunhou, as an open king of a country, is so ignorant to do such bourgeois business. Only two years after he ascended the throne, Xiao Yan set out to besiege Jiankang (now Nanjing), and a generation of Emperor Philip was killed by the Ministry, aged only 19.
Bodhisattva emperor
There have been cases of "Three Martial Arts and One Case" in history (Taiwuzong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wudi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wuzong in the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Shizong in the Five Dynasties), but there have also been loyal Buddhist believers like Liang Wudi, Wu Zetian and Tang Zhongzong. Among them, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan is the most prominent. He is the "Emperor and Bodhisattva" (as ministers called him in their memorials).
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strongly advocated Buddhism and invested heavily in building temples. At that time, there were 2,846 large and small temples in China, among which Da 'aijing Temple, Du Zhi Temple, Jiefang Temple and Tongtai Temple were the largest. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once lamented: "The 480 halls in the Southern Dynasties were misty and rainy." He also wrote a lot of Buddhist works. "Although there are many things to do, I still keep rubbing my hands, lighting candles and standing sideways, often until evening." Moreover, the head of the department is particularly large, among which "Interpretation of Nirvana Sutra" has a volume of 10l.
At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also established the theory that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism originated from Buddhism. He also put forward the precept that Buddhists should not eat meat, which was not stipulated by Buddhism before. He wrote "Broken Wine and Meat" according to the contents of excellent Buddhism such as Nirvana Sutra. From then on, he set an example and lived an ascetic life: he only ate one meal a day without touching wine and meat, lived in a dark room in a small hall, wore a hat for three years and covered a quilt for two years.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also laid down his life in the temple three times: in the first year of Datong (527), he suddenly went to Tongtai Temple as a slave and lived with monks, and was later "redeemed" by the minister; Two years later, I went to the Buddhist temple again; In the first year of Taiqing (547), at the age of 84, he gave up his life in the temple for the third time and lived in the temple for more than a month. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent 400 million yuan on "redemption" three times.
The Buddha did not bless this faithful believer. In the third year of Taiqing (549), Hou Jing staged a coup and conquered Jiankang. The bodhisattva emperor was captured and later starved to death.
Chess emperor
"When you are bored, you take chess, learn to be a scholar, learn to be an elephant, and be able to take charge. Soldiers move forward, don't talk back. You must learn to drive straight, not like a horse. If others block my kindness, I will play like a cannon for a while. " (Gui Zhi Yong Er Buba Volume) Tang Suzong Hengli is keen on chess, but he doesn't learn to be a bachelor, nor does he learn to ride a bike, but he just learns to ride a horse.
In Shang Dynasty, the accumulation of disasters aggravated the Tianbao Rebellion (also known as Anshi Rebellion). Su Zong and his beloved Princess Zhang Liangdi supported troops and fled to the west. On the way to escape, he was still obsessed with chess, ignoring the mountain of military reports and playing chess with Zhang all day. Premier's suggestion: If you don't pull back from the brink, you are in danger of repeating the mistake of Majipo incident (mutiny and killing Yang and others).
Su Zong still didn't converge. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he ordered the eunuchs to replace the "gold-bronze-shaped" pieces with wooden blocks carved by "dry tree chicken", so that others could not hear their voices when playing chess and throwing dice. People call this kind of chess "Baoying chess". In literary works, Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms and Liu Bowen in the late Yuan Dynasty all played chess in the background, winning victories thousands of miles away. Su Zong doesn't seem to show weakness.
Emperor cuju
Tang Xizong Li Xian likes horseback riding, cockfighting and cuju. He once proudly said, "If I want to hit the ball and win Jinshi chess, I must be the champion." He sometimes plays for two or three hours, even forgetting to eat, and the eunuchs and maids around him are in a hurry. He also ordered local officials to recommend young people with superb skills to the palace to accompany him to hit the ball. Many people are appointed as government officials because they are good at cuju. Eunuch Tian's brother won the game and was appointed as our ambassador. Of course, many people lost their lives because of playing football mistakes.
Play with things and get tired of it. In the first year of Ganfu (874), Wang Xianzhi revolted in Heng Chang, and Huang Chao responded. After the uprising finally subsided, Tian became authoritarian again. Emperor Cuju often talked with his cronies about the failure of state affairs and cried bitterly. In the first year of Guangqi (885), Li Keyong invaded Chang 'an, and Nuozong fled everywhere. In the first year of Wende (888), he died of anger.
Ci Huang
The Southern Tang Dynasty surrendered to the Song Dynasty when Li Yu was in charge. Li Yu is good at poetry, and so far he has famous works such as "Breaking Huanxisha". His son, Li, is called the Queen of Southern Tang Dynasty. He didn't make progress, but he inherited his father's hobby of coaxing.
Li Yu is incompetent in administration, but he has a high position in Ci studies. His early works are mostly about palace entertainment, with soft style and superb skills, such as "Jade House Spring" and "Ah Hu Zhu". Later, he wrote more about the pain of national subjugation, with sincere feelings and far-reaching artistic conception, such as Broken Warrior, Young Beauty, Langtaosha Order and Autumn Nightingale.
Li Yugou lived a luxurious life, and often made and sold a golden red silk curtain wall in the palace, inlaid with platinum and hawksbill, and inserted with exotic flowers and herbs, entitled "Golden Cave", and wrote lyrics and played music with Queen Zhou Xian: on the seventh day of July, he ordered people to dress up as Tianhe in the Moon Palace with red silk to create inspiration for lyrics. However, the reality is not as beautiful as the world in poetry. In the eighth year of Kaibao (975), Song Jun attacked Jinling and Cixi was captured. The life of "breaking the water cloud sword with a flute and singing the song" Nishang "again" has become a bubble. He couldn't help sighing, "How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward", but it was too late, and Song Taizu poisoned you.
The poet Guo Lin also lamented: "Being a talented person is really unparalleled, being a poor and unlucky king." Previously on Hidden Fish. Song Taizu also said in Xiqing Poetry: "If Li Yu rules the country with poetry, is it for me?"
General emperor
Zhu Houzhao was the most absurd emperor in the Ming Dynasty. He reused eunuchs and traitors (Liu Jin and Jiang Bin), indulged in harem and loved to play and shoot. The most ridiculous thing is that as the king of a country, he actually wanted to be a general, and once called himself a mighty general.
During the reign of Wuzong, social unrest, abdication of power and peasant uprisings continued. He has nothing to do and often goes out to play, and ministers can't invite him back. Once, he wanted to sneak out to visit, but Zhang Qin, Yushi, refused to stay, so he returned to the palace. In the fifth year of Zheng De's reign (15 10), he became the King of the Qing Dynasty and ordered the relevant departments to cast the official seal of the King of the Qing Dynasty.
In the twelfth year of Zheng De (15 17), tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry attacked the Ming Dynasty and made great sacrifices, eventually repelling the enemy soldiers. After listening to the letter, Wu Zong shamelessly called himself the general and the Lord of Taishi Town. Once, he wanted to be a general. In the 14th year of Zheng De's reign (15 19), he crusaded against Zhu, the king of Ning, Jiangxi, in the name of a general. In fact, he took more than 65,438 people to play.
As the sacred king of a country, the emperor competed for the title of general, which greatly damaged the majesty of the emperor. No wonder "Shi Ming" commented on the day: "However, I am addicted to fooling around and being warm and close to small groups until I am an official."
Painting and calligraphy emperor
Song Huizong Evonne was fascinated by calligraphy and painting and made great achievements. But he put aside the affairs of state, made Cai Jing, Zhu Zuo, Wang Fu, Li Yan, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng (known as the "Six Thieves") authoritarian, Fang La and Song Jiang revolted, and finally followed in the footsteps of Li Yu, the emperor of Ci, and lost his life and country.
Song Huizong studied calligraphy under Huang Tingjian, and then combined the styles of Cai Yong and Chu Suiliang to create a "thin gold body" that has been handed down to this day. He has made greater achievements in painting, and is good at painting flowers and birds, among which "Mera Mountain Birds", "Apricot Flowers" and "Furong Golden Rooster" are rare artistic treasures. The figure painting "Listening to the Qin", "Wen Hui" and the landscape painting "Snow River Returning to the Garden" have also reached a high artistic level.
Song Huizong established the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Institute based on his personal hobbies, and selected painters every year, which is more important than the imperial examination and has a milestone significance in the history of painting and calligraphy.
Song Huizong is brilliant in painting and calligraphy, but indifferent to state affairs. He abused the traitor and had no intention of going to court. He reluctantly came to the temple to meet the courtiers, and then hurried to Ruisi Temple to write books and learn painting. It took him three years to copy the famous works of Gongzhong 17.
It is said that he also compiled his own works into "Xuanhe Ruilan Painting Collection", and each 15 painting is a book, which is "thousands of books". Just his map of sleepwalking city, "Everything between heaven and earth is ready in color", will take several months to draw.
Hui Zong put so much time and energy into painting and calligraphy. Of course, the affairs of state were not good, and the nomads from the army attacked on a large scale, and the emperor of painting and calligraphy became a prisoner.
Pet cat emperor
Wu Zetian hates cats, because Xiao Shufei, who was killed by her, once scolded: "Ah Wu's demon, even this one, may he give birth to me as a cat, Ah Wu as a tiger and strangle his throat." However, Ming Shizong Zhu had a soft spot for cats.
Sejong superstitious Taoism, Taoist Shao and Fang Shitao favored, has been awarded the history of the Ministry of Rites. Harry, the minister of family, almost died because he wrote a letter of protest. Flattery officials compete to pay tribute to pets such as white deer, white goose, white crane and white cat in order to reward them.
Sejong's favorite pets are two beautiful cats, Xue Mei and Lion Cat. He often played with cats, but he didn't go to court for more than 20 years (from 1539, Tao was worshipped as an immortal, led three orphans, and served as the minister of rites to 1566, and died). Ironically, he once held a ceremony as an emperor and solemnly named Xue Mei "Dragon".
Later, Geelong died. Sejong didn't eat or drink for a few days, so he buried it in Long Live Mountain and wrote the inscription "Jilong Tomb". After the death of the lion cat, Sejong ordered the coffin to be cast in gold, and held a grand funeral, and asked the courtiers to erect a monument for it.
There is a eulogy of "turning a lion into a tiger" in Shen Yuan's eulogy, which won the favor of Sejong. Soon, he was promoted to Shaozai, known as "Prime Minister Qing Ci". There were many famous ministers in the Ming Dynasty, but no one was treated so ceremoniously by these two cats.
Sejong plaything weary in well doing, ignore the state affairs, Yan Song, a university student in Wuyingdian, took the opportunity to specialize in the state affairs.
Carpenters
The Zhushan Sect of Ming Xi did not listen to the teachings of sages-"Zufa Yaoshun, Charter Wu Wen", but went to learn from Lu Ban, Yuhao and Li Jie, and dealt with axes, saws and planes all day.
During the reign of Emperor Xizong, there were nomads from outside, Xu Hongru Uprising in Shandong and Wang Erzhi Uprising in Shaanxi. Xizong, on the other hand, did nothing but do carpentry and build a small palace. Wu Baoya wrote in Kuangyuan magazine that Xizong "tried to build a small palace in the courtyard, which was four feet high and ingenious". Because I am often addicted to it, I am skilled.
According to "Dial First", "All axes belong to yourself. Although it is a skillful craftsman, it cannot be too much. " Xi Zong's banter led to the eunuch's autocratic power and the traitor's manipulation of power. As Yi Zhi said, "When I was proud, I might be anxious to make a decision. When a literate female official recited the title and name, Yu told Wang Tigan,' I know everything, so just do it with your heart.' So the traitors wantonly love and hate their feelings, and approved the implementation of red. "It is in this case that Wei Zhongxian expanded its power step by step and seized power.
"History of the Ming Dynasty Xizong Volume 22" commented: "Excessive sexual punishment, loyalty and tragedy, a trillion centrifugal, although you want to survive, how can you get it?" Xizong devoted himself to building his "palace", but his henchmen were quietly digging his foundation. Only ten years after Xizong's death, the Ming Dynasty perished.
