What are the "inaction" emperors in history?

Tang Xizong and Song Huizong are typical fans. Tang Xizong likes playing polo very much, and he plays it well. He proudly boasted: "If I get into Jinshi, I will definitely get the first place." On one occasion, there was a vacancy in Sichuan province, and the ministers who coveted this position were Chen, Niu Mian, Luo and others. When Tang Xizong finally considered and confirmed this extremely important official candidate, he even ordered more than four people to perform separately to confirm this extremely important official candidate. Finally, Chen, who played the best, was appointed as our ambassador in Sichuan.

As for Song Huizong's love for Cuju (an ancient football sport), it is well known that he appointed Gao Qiu, a street hooligan who was good at Cuju, as the commandant-the military attache at that time. Emperor Fan treated state affairs as a joke, took the ball as an official and appointed non-people, and the result was bound to be chaos and national subjugation.

Shang emperor

Liu Hong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yifu and Song Shaodi in the Southern Dynasties all set up "shops" in the market shops imitating the imperial palace. Both emperors put on merchant's clothes and sold them themselves. Xiao Baojuan, Emperor of the Southern Dynasties, was an expert in this field. He not only set up a trading market in the back garden of the palace, but also had fun with his concubines and ladies-in-waiting in shops that imitated the China market. He also set up a set of "market management institutions", with his favorite Pan Shi as the manager and the emperor himself as the manager under Pan Shi. Those who violated the "market discipline", including the emperor, were whipped, making the palace a mess.

Carpenters

Amin Emperor Zhu Youxiao was a famous bad king. His hobby is to be a carpenter, build a house and operate an axe chisel by himself, which is unambiguous. His bedroom is often filled with all kinds of wood. He often works around the clock when making furniture. When he succeeded, he didn't want to spend time meeting officials, let alone dealing with military and political affairs, and let eunuch Wei Zhongxian take charge of everything, which formed the extremely dark eunuch dictatorship in the late Ming Dynasty for many years.

Down and out in Beverly hills

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Gao E, the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, had a more absurd "quirk"-she liked to be a beggar. He built a humble hut in Lin Yuan's harem, dressed himself in rags and begged along the street like a beggar. This is not because he wants to experience the life of the poor, but to come up with new ways to play and seek excitement to pass the boring and empty life. As a result, it not only ignores political affairs, but also corrupts the political style.

Emperor of opera fans

The first opera fan emperor was Hu Hai. After he ascended the throne, he indulged in singing and dancing. On the basis of Nuo, he ordered people to compose music and write lyrics with orchestral strings, which developed into a drama with plots and became the predecessor of Shaanxi's "Shaanxi Opera". He ordered the establishment of a special opera music institution "Yuefu" to serve the court. He listens to music and plays games all day, but he doesn't know that there is chaos outside the palace. Tang is not only a rare opera fan, but also deliberately turned the pear garden into a gathering place for opera talents. Since then, "Liyuan" has become synonymous with the opera world. He took pleasure in Yang Guifei and handed over state affairs to Yang Guifei's younger brother, which eventually led to the "Anshi Rebellion".

Empress Dowager Cixi, who was in power in the late Qing Dynasty, was the biggest opera fan in ancient and modern times, especially Peking Opera. In the face of foreign invasion, she became increasingly aggressive, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people suffered, but she was indifferent. She watches Peking Opera almost every day, and she has built magnificent stages in both the Palace and the Summer Palace villa. She doesn't like watching traditional Chinese opera. Sometimes she wears costumes and goes out with eunuch Li. Under her influence, the dignitaries of the whole Qing Dynasty were addicted to Peking Opera. Those actors who acted for Cixi became "offerings in the palace" and were worth a hundred times. The famous actor (nicknamed Tian) has become the most admired idol of civil and military officials. As a result, there has been such a situation in Beijing: "Who is in charge of state affairs, the whole city is arguing that it is called Tianer!"

The king's rhapsody

Even more romantic, the emperor indulged in women's sex. Qin Shihuang was the first romantic emperor who loved women. After he pacified the Six Kingdoms, he concentrated the concubines, ladies-in-waiting and imperial daughters of the rulers of the Six Kingdoms in Xianyang, and specially built a magnificent Epang Palace for their lewd enjoyment. It is said that every day, the powder water of Qin Gong's empresses and ladies-in-waiting washes is poured into Weishui, which makes the water float on a greasy layer. Because there were too many concubines, in addition to making wives queens, the emperors of the Han Dynasty also graded many little wives, calling them wives, beauties, lovers, eight sons, seven sons, long ambassadors and few ambassadors.

"History of Emperor Wu's harem" contains "thousands of women". It is a famous court scandal that Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty prized Zhao. There are more than 10,000 women in the harem of Emperor Wu of Jin, which is a record-breaking. He often goes to the harem in a sheep cart, where he feasts and sleeps wherever the sheep cart is towed. In the Southern Dynasties, Chen Houzhu favored beautiful women Zhang Lihua and Kong Guiren, and left romantic remains of rouge well in Nanjing until Nanjing perished. Song Huizong even went out of the palace incognito and went to a brothel to visit the famous prostitute Li Shishi. Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not only had a large number of concubines in the harem, but also disguised himself as a prostitute. He fell in love with Liu Meiren, a prostitute, in Datong, and Li Fengjie, the daughter of the innkeeper, in Xuanhua. Youlong Opera Bone in Peking Opera is a description of this matter.

Idiot emperor

If the heir to the throne is not a doll, but a stupid idiot, he will become an idiot emperor. Idiot emperors are not as many as doll emperors in the history of China, but they are more harmful.

The most famous idiot emperor in the history of China was Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was the second son of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Because of the early death of his brother Sima Gui, he became the eldest son and became the Prince of the East Palace. At that time, the officials in charge of raising the prince in the East Palace knew that the prince was an idiot, but in order to maintain the inheritance system of the eldest son and his future status as an imperial envoy, they cooperated with Emperor Wu of Jin for a long time and concealed the truth. When Emperor Wu of Jin died, Sima Zhong ascended the throne as emperor, and for the sake of Emperor Jinhui, the truth of his idiotic dream could no longer be concealed. Once he went out to listen to frogs, he foolishly asked his attendants, "What's the matter with you? Is it private? " Are these frogs public or private? Hearing this, the attendants couldn't answer, so they had to perfunctory: "The official is in the officialdom, and the private is in the private field." Once, there was a famine in the whole country, and the people had no food and starved to death. The idiot emperor was very surprised after listening to the minister's report and asked the minister, "Since the people have no food, why don't they eat minced meat?" This absurd remark has become a joke through the ages. When the princes and ministers knew that Hui Di was an idiot, they all had ulterior motives: those who fought for power and profit, those who formed a clique for personal gain, and those who coveted the throne. Finally, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" broke out, which led to the invasion of the "Five Lakes", and the world was bustling and the lives were ruined. Hui Di himself became emperor in 17, and he died of poisoning. Soon, the Western Jin Dynasty perished.

Another idiot emperor was Sima Dezong, the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, and he was stupid and dumb since childhood. "Although the changes are cold and hot, there is no way to distinguish them." Dementia can't tell spring, summer, autumn and winter. Emperor Xiaowu knew this son was an idiot before his death, but in order to maintain the hereditary system of the throne and the inheritance system of the county chief, he still had to be a prince. In this way, Sima Dezong proclaimed himself emperor in 397 AD, for the sake of Emperor Jin 'an. Nature is an idiot emperor, who can't manage politics at all, which will inevitably lead to the fall of the powerful emperor, and the ministers will show their magical powers and make a mess of state affairs. Finally, the stupid emperor was hanged by the powerful minister Liu Yupa. Soon, the Eastern Jin Dynasty also perished.

There is also an idiot emperor in the history of China, Tang Shunzong Li Yong. He is the eldest son of Tang Dezong. He was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, but four months before Hangzong died, he suddenly had a stroke and became stupid and dumb. Tang Dezong was a shrewd emperor, but he couldn't help Li Yong succeed to the throne after he discovered that the prince was stupid. Li Yong succeeded to the throne, that is, Tang, and he was in office for only one year. In this year, Wang, Wang? With the support of courtiers Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Han Tai and others, the master carried out the famous "Yongzheng Innovation" (Yongzheng Nianhao Shunzong). However, because this innovation harmed the interests of eunuchs and buffer regions, they United against it. Tang Shunzong was forced to abdicate as the emperor's father, and the throne was succeeded by Chunli, the son of Shunzong, to Tang Xianzong. Two kings and Liu and Liu were naturally demoted. Innocent Shunzong also died of fright the following year. The political situation in the Tang Dynasty experienced fierce turmoil, and the situation of eunuch's monopoly and vassal hegemony became more and more fierce.

When an idiot is emperor, it will cause political instability and national difficulties. This is the evil result of autocratic politics and the tragedy of feudal society.

Doll emperor

The founding emperor gained political power and ascended the throne. He regards the regime and the whole country as his private property. Private property can never be transferred to others, which is the principle that imperial power cannot be transferred. He wants to occupy this position forever. Therefore, emperors are eager to live forever. But when death still inevitably comes, they have to pass on their position to their closest and most trusted person-their son. This is the hereditary system of the throne. Even if the prince is still in infancy, even if he is in infancy, he will still succeed to the throne. In this way, many doll emperors appeared in China calendar.

According to statistics, there were 29 doll emperors in the history of China. The earliest emperor was Zhao, who ascended the throne in 86 BC. Xuan Tong, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, became emperor in 1909. Among them, the youngest Liu Long was the first person to promote the return of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was just born 65,438+000 days ago and was declared emperor. Other emperors under the age of 10 are: Chongdi in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Moody in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a difference of 2 years; The difference between Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xuan Tong of the Qing Dynasty is 3 years old; Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty was 4 years old; Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Gong of the Southern Song Dynasty were 5 years old. Shun Di and Tongzhi Emperor in Qing Dynasty were 6 years old; Zhou Gongdi and Yuan Ningzong are 7 years old; Seven people, including Emperor Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi of the Three Kingdoms and the Qing Dynasty, are all eight years old. Four people, including Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, are 9 years old. He Di in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Fei Weidi in the Three Kingdoms are all 10 years old. As for/kloc-those who claim to be emperors under the age of 0/6 are too numerous to mention.

When the doll became the emperor, of course, it could not manage the affairs of state. She is always regent by the Queen Mother, consorts or dignitaries. These regents often seek power for self-interest according to their own political needs, play with the doll emperor, and even arbitrarily abolish, kill and change. If the doll emperor can live to be an adult, in order to regain power, he often fights to the death with the Regent, which leads to tragedy. This kind of political farce has been staged one after another, making the palace full of swords and shadows, blood shed. Wang Mang killed Emperor Ping and the last emperor, poisoned Emperor Han Xian, imprisoned Emperor Kangxi and other dignitaries, and the Empress Dowager Cixi brutally treated Emperor Guangxu, all of which are famous examples. When the rulers are busy fighting for power and profit and bloody slaughter, the normal political and economic activities of the country are often interrupted, and the people live in pain and terror.

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. Soon, Dong Xian was named a surname hsu, hanshu? Dong Xianchuan, at this time, Dong Xian "went to the Great Wall to participate in riding, entered the royal control, and in October he rewarded huge sums of money, which shocked the court. "They were like peas and carrots, sharing 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. Hanshu? In the biography of Dong Xian, Emperor Ai once jokingly said to Dong Xian, "I want to practice Buddhism and Zen, so what?" Ministers were dumbfounded. This 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.

"South seven books seven? Dong Hunhou's "Zai Dong Hunhou" is in Yuan Zhongli City again. The official eats wine, meat and miscellaneous vegetables every day, which makes the imperial secretary slaughter, Pan Fei is the city order, and the emperor is the duke, so he is 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. "Southern history? There is a similar record in "Qi Benji Xia": "Open the canal again, bow the boat, set a shop on it, and sit down to kill the meat. "The eccentric behavior of Dong Hunhou and Pan Fei was very popular at that time. There was a folk song called:' 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 spent 400 million yuan on three "redemption". 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. " ("Guizhi Er? Tang Suzong and Hengli are keen on chess, but they don't learn to be bachelors or ride bicycles, so they just learn to ride horses sideways. 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".
