Since the first emperor appeared in China more than 2,000 years ago, China has experienced several dynasties, large and small, and many emperors. Of course, most emperors still did what kings should do, but some did everything that had nothing to do with business. Next, Ye Shijun will list a few emperors who did not do their jobs properly.
Emperor Qi'an was the fifth emperor of Northern Qi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During his reign, he carried out extensive construction projects and built palaces, which can be described as extravagant and extravagant. Not only that, he also built many poor villages, border towns, etc. in the palace, while he acted as a beggar and divided the soldiers into two groups to shout for attack. If this Emperor Qi'an were left in modern times, he would definitely be an old drama star, and he might even become famous. In the end, poor Northern Qi was played to death by this emperor.
Song Huizong, the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty. Huizong of the Song Dynasty loved painting since he was a child and was good at flowers and birds, landscapes, figures, and attics. His flower and bird paintings have achieved lifelike effects. In calligraphy, the thin gold calligraphy was created by Song Huizong himself. If these artistic achievements were placed on ordinary people, they would definitely be a masterpiece. It's a pity that he was an emperor and spent his energy in the wrong place, which eventually led to the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Ming Xizong, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also the second to last. During his seven years in power, the Ming Dynasty, which was already in decline, accelerated its collapse. The emperor had a keen interest in woodworking and lacquering since he was a child. He often performed various woodworking and lacquering activities in his palace, almost never going to court, and re-employed Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs. This led to chaos in the government and the public, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger.
Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty was the fifth emperor of the Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Why is this emperor so horny? It is said that Liu Jun, the Emperor Xiaowu at that time, would summon any woman who was a little bit pretty, no matter how close she was, to the palace to be blessed. Sometimes he would stay in the palace of Queen Mother Lu, waiting for the female relatives of the officials to come to pay homage. If he saw someone he liked, he would let her sleep in the palace. Liu Jun reigned for eleven years and later died of lovesickness.
Of course, there are many emperors in history who did not do their job properly, such as those who loved to play Cuju and those who were gay, so Mr. Ye Shi will not list them one by one!
