34 years ago, a woman from Shandong followed Wu Zetian's example and proclaimed herself emperor and made four young men her concubines.

#「 Shining Moment 」 Theme Essay Collection Issue 2# If you want to talk about the most powerful and dangerous profession in the world, it is undoubtedly the emperor. Someone once made an interesting statistic. The average life span of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties was only 39 years old. The oldest emperor was Zhao Tuo, Emperor Wu of South Vietnam, who lived to be 103 years old.

Historically, there have been many emperors who have died due to usurpation of power. After all, the emperor is a noble being, and there are naturally many people who covet the imperial power. To use a classic saying, "Imperial power can only be obtained when it is obtained." The world, so it had the magic power to attract people to commit crimes in ancient times."

In 1912, the Qing Dynasty fell, and the emperor became a thing of the past in China. In December 1915, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself Emperor Hongxian. However, After the National Defense Movement began, Yuan Shikai's dream of becoming an emperor only existed for 83 years. Finally, Yuan Shikai died on June 6, 1916.

However, not only Yuan Shikai, but also some strange people proclaimed themselves emperors in the following years. What is even more intriguing is that these people are just ordinary people. What is the motivation that makes them " What about "Self-establishing Imperial Power"?

Between 1986 and 1988, in Anqiu, Shandong, there was a woman named Chao Zhengkun. Because she worshiped Queen Wu Zetian, she established a kingdom called the "Great Sage Dynasty" on October 12, 1986. The imperial court also imitated the emperor and made a jade seal of its own, and also planned to recruit some people to be the harem. It is not difficult to see that these people who have the dream of being emperor must have sufficient superficial appearance.

At that time, Chao Zhengkun was a witch and had a certain prestige in the local area. As a result, Chao Zhengkun found two young men as "concubines" in order to serve Chao Zhengkun without any wages.

But what makes people laugh or cry is that on August 6, 1988, Chao Zhengkun, who was bent on expanding her power, sent her two "concubines" to post slogans written by her. Unexpectedly, this move was The local police saw it. When they saw that these were demagogic slogans, they dumped Chao Zhengkun's "Great Sage Dynasty" in one fell swoop on August 8.

What surprised the police was that Chao Zhengkun had as many as 382 men. In the end, Chao Zhengkun was sentenced to death in April 1990.

From an objective point of view, the reason why Chao Zhengkun wanted to establish his own court was simply to enjoy the feeling of being served, and the slogans she promoted also confused the people in various ways, which really confirmed the saying. Words: "If your intentions are not right, someone will naturally punish you."

In addition to Chao Zhengkun, the other most well-known person who proclaimed himself emperor was Shi Dingwu of the Buddhist Kingdom.

In 1947, Shi Dingwu was a landowner in Xiangtan area of ??Hunan Province. He had an armed force on his own, so he established himself as king in his hometown and built a palace of about 10,000 square meters. He specially customized a dragon robe in order to make himself more presentable as an emperor. In the early stage of Shidingwu's proclaimed emperor, he still enjoyed some benefits.

Because Shi Dingwu relied on his considerable power to win over a group of believers in Hunan and Jiangxi, and they paid tribute to him regularly every year. Unexpectedly, because Shi Dingwu failed to learn to keep a low profile, Shi Dingwu was quickly noticed. , he was immediately seen to be defrauding people of their money, so Shi Dingwu was quickly hunted down. In 1953, the Buddhist kingdom was officially destroyed, and Shi Dingwu was sentenced to death. This man who ascended to the throne relying on his own selfish desires will eventually get his retribution.

The deaths of Chao Zhengkun and Shi Dingwu make people wonder whether these people really want to be a good emperor, or are they just obsessed with the imperial power of the emperor. Judging from their actions, it is obvious that they are the latter.

It is not difficult to see that a normal society does not need an emperor at all. The most important thing in a country is the people after all, not the so-called "Emperor". After all, "When the people are strong, the country is strong."
