Ten humiliating emperors in ancient times

No. 10 Emperor Wu of the Northern Qi Dynasty: a cowardly emperor, whose queen cheated on her and became a prostitute.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to be cuckolded. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Qi Dynasty was called the "Beast Dynasty" because of its tyranny, fierceness and fornication, and it was the first to appear. Gao Zhan, the fourth emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, imitated his father and brother and seized the throne by despicable means. However, because he was obsessed with beauty and didn't think about state affairs, he was handed over to the 9-year-old prince Gao Wei (the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty) and became the emperor's father. He finally died of excessive drinking and alcoholism at the age of 365,438+0. In Gao Zhan, he succeeded to the throne, and his wife Hu Shi was made queen. However, Gao Zhan played bisexual. On the one hand, he associates with his confidant and nephew Gao Xiaoyu, on the other hand, he forces his sister-in-law Li Zue (Queen Levin of Wen Xuandi) to stay in Zhao Xin Palace. Hu Huanghou, who couldn't get the favor and couldn't stand the loneliness in Gong Yu, soon hooked up with Shi Kai. However, after Gao Zhan was told, she didn't blame her, but ordered him to teach and give them opportunities for flirting and entertainment. After his death, Hu, who had been promoted to the post of Empress Dowager, communicated with Hu more openly, and was once in charge of state affairs. After Hu Shikai was killed by Gao Yan, Hu Taihou invited a group of monks to have sex again. The Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but Empress Hu was driven out of the palace without being captured. He even took his daughter-in-law, Muhuanghua (Queen Gauguin), and started a prostitute together, using the gold-lettered signboard of the "former queen mother", and his business was extremely prosperous.

The reason why he entered the list was not because he willingly accepted his wife's cuckold husband before his death, but because Hu finally entered the prostitution door.

No.9 Jin Huidi Sima Zhong: a cowardly emperor regarded as a plaything by the queen and the king.

The actual founder of the Jin Dynasty was Sima Yi. After the death of Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he passed the throne to Sima Zhong, the son of dementia, namely Jinhui Emperor. Shortly thereafter, after a brief reunification, China entered a chaotic and divided situation for more than 300 years because of the "five disorderly flowers". Lekui believes that Sima Yan is the culprit. He not only chose a "stupid son" as the emperor, but also chose an "ugly and jealous" daughter-in-law for him, making him a unique "ugly wife and stupid husband" in the history of the harem. At the beginning of the "stupid emperor", the teacher Yang Jun helped the government, but Yang Jun was soon killed by the "ugly queen". However, this "ugly queen" disobeyed women's morality, wantonly fornicated the harem and manipulated the power of the DPRK, which led to the "Eight Kings Rebellion". First of all, Wang Zhao Sima Lun, the granduncle of Sima Zhong and the son of Sima Yi, usurped the throne and took Hui Di Sima Zhong as the emperor's father and imprisoned him in Jinyong City. Jia Nanfeng, the lecherous "ugly queen", was killed by Zhao Wang. Sima Tang, the king of Qi, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, rose up, and the ministers killed Sima Lun's confidant and welcomed Hui Di back. In this way, Sima Zhong was held hostage by the kings and suffered humiliation like a puppet. Finally, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, welcomed him back to Luoyang and was poisoned soon.

The Jin Dynasty lasted 150 years, but it is rare that all the emperors who came from Sima Zhong were timid, which led to the decline of real power!

On the 8th, Cheng Gongli Period: a cowardly emperor who hanged himself because of abolition.

We all know that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the Ming Dynasty, but he was by no means the first emperor to hang himself in history, because there were precedents thousands of years ago. Cheng Youli Li is the fourth son of the founder of Cheng Han Dynasty, one of the sixteen countries in the late Western Jin Dynasty. After Li Xiong's death, he did not pass the throne to his son according to the principle of establishing a reserve army, but gave the throne to his nephew Li Ban, which led to a coup against all scholars. After completely killing Li Ban, Li Yue, as the mastermind, gave the throne to his fourth brother, Li Qi, because Li Qi was highly valued before Li Xiong died and grew up beside the queen. But I picked up an emperor in vain, but after calling myself emperor, I was "arrogant and abusive, killing many people." Four years later, Li Shou, a veteran of the Three Dynasties who became a country and enjoyed the reputation of "sage", led 10,000 cavalry to occupy Chengdu, and Li Yue, Qian Jing and others were killed. Richie was deposed as Duke of Du Qiong and imprisoned in another palace. Li Qi sighed and said, "The Lord of the world is a small county. It is better to die!" " Later, he hanged himself and died, and posthumous title made contributions. Li Shou is the emperor. He changed the name of his country to Han, that is, he became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Li Qi was reduced from emperor to county magistrate and from master to prisoner. He was imprisoned, his heart was broken, he felt timid, and he was ashamed of life. Shortly after he uttered this helpless sigh, he ended his life with a rope, becoming the first emperor in China history who chose to commit suicide after being deposed.

Seventh wuyue Sejong Qian: the cowardly emperor who died tragically because of the capital fire.

Wu Yueguo was one of the five dynasties and ten countries during the Tang and Song Dynasties, which was founded by Qian Liu, China's envoy to Zhenhai at the end of Tang Dynasty. Today, many celebrities surnamed Qian are his descendants, such as China famous scientists Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang and Qian Weichang, also known as "San Qian", great writer Qian Zhongshu, and former foreign minister Qian Qichen. Most Qian surnames in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places belong to him. Let's go back to the topic of this article! Wuyue Sejong Qian Yuan Kui (formerly known as Qian Chuankui) is the son of Qian Liu, and Wu Yueguo is the emperor. It is said that during the reign of Tang Zhaozong, Tian Qi, the special envoy of Ningguo, attacked Qian Liu. He went back to Li and asked Qian Liu to take his son as the hostage and marry his daughter. Qian Liu was surprised that all the Jinshi were unwilling to go, but only Qian Chuankui offered to go. Later, after Tianqi was defeated, Qian Chuankui returned to Hangzhou. When he grew up, Qian Chuankui led the wuyue army to the whole country, which was quite meritorious. Therefore, Qian Liu wanted to establish a reserve, and all the brothers gave way to each other. After the death of Qian Liu, the ancestor of wuyue, Qian Chuankui was renamed Qian Yuan Kui. In the sixth year of Tianfu (94 1), the wuyue Palace caught fire, and almost all the palaces and treasuries were burned down. Where the money fled, the fire spread. He was so scared that money went crazy and died soon.

Sima Yao, the sixth Emperor of filial piety, was a cowardly emperor who was killed by a maid-in-waiting with a quilt.

Sima Yao, the filial piety emperor in the Jin Dynasty, was the ninth emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a relatively successful emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the 24 years since he proclaimed himself emperor, the Jin Dynasty showed some signs of revival, and once created a miracle in military history-the Battle of Feishui. It is such a successful emperor that his death is funny and bizarre enough!

Sima Yao, like many emperors, was a risk-averse alcoholic. One day, Sima Yao and his favorite Zhang Guiren were drinking at Qingshu Temple in the palace. Sima Yao and Zhang Guiren, who drank too much yellow soup, quarreled for a long time, and they scolded each other, much like a modern version of a husband-and-wife quarrel. When a woman quarrels, she naturally has the upper hand. The emperor scolded her, but she was anxious. She left a sentence: "Don't think that I will spoil you and go to heaven. There are so many women in my harem that one day I will abolish you and find a younger and more beautiful one! " Then I went back to the palace to sleep. The so-called speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. The more Zhang Guiren pondered, the less interesting he became. Yes, he is almost 30 years old, and his youth is fading. Maybe one day the emperor will kick himself. Anger rises from my heart, and evil is born for me. Zhang Guiren, in desperation, found several ladies-in-waiting, moved several big quilts, divided three times five by two, and strangled Emperor Sima who was still sleeping. The poor and innocent Emperor Sima lost an emperor's life, and it will take several lifetimes to repair it. Just because he played a little joke after drinking, it became an anecdote through the ages.

No.5 Northern Wei Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong: a cowardly emperor who was angry because the queen had an affair.

To be fair, Tuoba Hong (Chinese name: Justin), Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was not timid in power! Because he was an outstanding minority politician, strategist and reformer in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He advocated Chinese culture, practiced sinicization, banned Hu Fu and Hu Yu, changed weights and measures, promoted education, changed surnames and banned burials, which improved the cultural level of Xianbei people. It was a summary of ethnic integration after all ethnic groups in northwest China entered the Central Plains one after another, and played an important role in China.

However, it has been more than ten years since Emperor Tuoba Hong, Emperor Xiaowen, worked hard in the imperial court all the year round and ran around on the battlefield. However, his queen secretly had a relationship with an eunuch, Gao Bodhisattva, in the palace. Many people in the palace knew about it, but kept it from Emperor Xiaowen. Until one day, a princess was forced to get married by the queen. Unwilling, she ran to tell Emperor Xiaowen everything. Emperor Xiaowen, as the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", wore a green hat for many years without knowing it. The shock was so great that he fell ill at once and died soon after. Because this is "angry", you are timid enough!

Fourth place: Tang Zhongzong Li Xian: a cowardly emperor struggling among strong women.

In the history of China, there was an emperor who was awesome. His father is an emperor, his mother is an emperor, his son is an emperor, and his brother and nephew are also emperors. This awesome person is Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, the son of the only orthodox female emperor Wu Zetian in China history. Tang Zhongzong is one of the most cowardly emperors in history. First of all, he was abolished several times because of the dictatorship and usurpation of power by his mother Wu Zetian. Even more embarrassing, Wei Ruyun gave him a big "green hat".

Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was emperor twice before and after, with a total reign of a little over five years. He inherited the throne for the first time after the death of his father, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, but was ousted by his mother and exiled before his ass got hot. The second time, when Wu Zetian was seriously ill and dying, she was reset with the support of ministers. After the restoration, due to Tang Zhongzong's ignorance of Confucianism and weak body, Wei Ruyun was encouraged to actively intervene in state affairs and wanted to be the second Empress Wu. Her youngest daughter, Princess Li Guoer, also wants to be the "wife of the Queen" and realize her dream. As the saying goes, "Three Women's Lives", Tang Zhongzong lives among three tough and provocative women: his mother, wife and daughter, and his fate has its own ending. In the fourth year of Jinglong (7 10), Zhongzong was poisoned by his wife and daughter, and Wei Hou was called into the court. There was once a couple who had a quarrel. Because of Tang Zhongzong's incompetence, Wei Hou, his wife, went wild in the harem, giving herself a "cuckold husband", but she was speechless. Hou Wei is really fearless. He first had an affair with Wu Sansi, the nephew of Wu Zetian. Later, three handsome young people (Zong Chuke, Ma, Cui Zhuo), the imperial doctor and cook who went down to the palace, and even his daughter's husband all asked them to be the curtain-goers and follow around. Tang Zhongzong turned a blind eye to this, and even personally arranged a tryst between Wei Hou and Wu Sansi, or simply played with them. Princess Anle pushed the indulgence of Tang harem to a new height, and Shangguan Waner, a talented woman with desire, also had an affair with Wu Sansi! Under the leadership of these women, the so-called "rotten Han and filthy Tang" was pushed to another peak in the post-Wu Zetian era. Fortunately, shortly after Li Xian's death, Li Longji staged a coup and killed Wei Ruyun and Princess Anle.

Third place Jin Jinu: A cowardly monarch, who fell into a cesspit because of going to the toilet and drowned.

Jin Jinggong Jinu was the son of Jin Chenggong, one of the governors in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is the monarch of the State of Jin in the famous story "The Orphan of Zhao". As for how he died, the history book Zuo Zhuan's Ten Years of Successful Learning only uses a few words to explain: "Eat enough, go to the toilet, and die." The specific process is as follows: On the third day of June 582 BC, Jing Zhengyi, who was terminally ill, said that he could not eat new wheat, so he ordered the local people to offer new wheat and the cooks to cook porridge. He immediately called the wizard into the palace and pointed to the porridge and said to the wizard, "You said I can't eat new wheat. Don't you think this is new wheat?" Immediately, the witch died and Qi Huangong was about to eat porridge. He felt that his abdomen was swollen and wanted to defecate, so he hurried to the toilet. Suddenly, he felt heartbroken and couldn't stand it. He fell into the toilet and died in the cesspit. But now that I think about it, the words of the wizard are really effective!

This is probably the only emperor in the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization who died because he went to the toilet and fell into a cesspit. However, it is not difficult to find that the toilet conditions in the palace were poor enough at that time, and the guards of the ladies-in-waiting and eunuchs did not realize the service and protection for the king! !

No.2 Yuan Dong Wei Xiaojing Emperor: the cowardly emperor who was accused of rebellion by the powerful minister in public.

In the history of feudal emperors in China, there were autocratic emperors and puppet emperors. Among the puppet emperors of past dynasties, some were kidnapped, some were deposed, some were imprisoned and some were beheaded; However, I am afraid that only Yuan Shan, the Emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was warned, scolded, beaten, and even accused of "rebellion" in public.

Yuan Shanjian, Emperor Xiaojing of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong, who was killed because of the queen's affair. At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan, the father of the Northern Qi Emperor, and Zhu's men were in charge of state affairs. Due to the power struggle between Gao and Yuwen, Emperor Xiao broke up with Gao Huan and fled Luoyang, where he was stationed in Chang 'an. After leaving, Gao Huan appointed his fathers Yuan and Qinghe as fu, who were solely responsible for handling state affairs. However, Yuan Qi was headstrong and self-centered, and he ignored Gao Huan. Before he ascended the throne, he was deposed, and Prince Yuan Shan became emperor. Since then, Yuan and two emperors appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty, thus splitting into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. Later, it was replaced by the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties.

At the beginning of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the situation was turbulent and smoke was everywhere. The young filial piety emperor couldn't cope with it, and he obeyed Gao Huan's orders. Soon, the Eastern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Yecheng. There is a nursery rhyme: "Poor bluebird, fly to Yecheng." Feather ao is about to become a parrot. "Green finch, alluding to filial piety; Parrot, alluding to Gao Huan. It is said that after Gao Huan's death, his eldest brother Gao Cheng inherited his father's position and continued to be in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Gao Chengpai, who wanted to usurp the throne when he was young, monitored Xiao Jing's every move and shouted at him, "Me, me, the dog kicked me!" "Xiao Jing was the last straw, and Jin Yuan, Liu Siyi, Xun Yu and others plotted against the high city, digging the secret passage to the outside of the city day and night in the palace (a bit like the authentic tactics during the Anti-Japanese War! ), organize the world's military forces. Unfortunately, while digging the local road near the city gate, the gatekeeper heard the underground noise. Gao Cheng led the troops into the palace and forced Emperor Xiaojing to ask, "Why did your majesty rebel?" And motioned to kill the concubines around him. Emperor Xiaojing said sternly: "Since ancient times, I have only heard that the courtiers rebelled against the king, but I have never heard that the king rebelled against the courtiers. If you want to rebel yourself, why blame me! Kill you and the country will be stable! If you don't kill, the country will die. I have put my life and death at risk, let alone concubines! If you want to kill the king, look at your time! "

Three days after the incident, just as Gao Cheng was preparing to kill Emperor Xiaojing and usurp the throne, Gao Cheng was stabbed to death by chef Jing Lan. Knowing that Gao Cheng was killed, Emperor Xiaojing happily said to the left and right: "The death of Gao Cheng is really an act of God, and it is time for me to take power." However, as soon as his voice fell, Gao Cheng's younger brother Gao Yang was killed. In less than half a year, Emperor Xiaojing was forced to meditate and was later poisoned by Gao Yang. As Emperor Xiao Jing himself said before his death: No king betrayed his courtiers, so this allusion ranked second in the list.

No. 1 Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang: A cowardly monarch, mistaking his illegitimate child for a parent and passing on the family line.

In the history of ancient emperors, it is not uncommon for emperors to be cuckolded because of harem fornication; For various reasons, it was not passed on to parents, but passed on to others (for example, the above-mentioned Emperor Cheng passed on to his nephew, and the Emperor of the Five Dynasties and the Zhou Dynasty passed on to his nephew Chai Rong because he had no children). However, without knowing it, someone else's illegitimate child was raised as his own son and passed on to his own emperor after his death. Only Prince Chu of Qinzhuang is the "father" of Qin Shihuang.

Words that year, when Zi Chu, who was named King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, was still held hostage in Zhao, Zi Chu became more and more famous among the princes under the joint efforts of Lv Buwei, a businessman, and Mrs. Huayang, the favorite concubine of Zi Chu's father (namely King Xiaowen of Qin). Lv Buwei chose a very beautiful Handan woman who is good at dancing to live with her until she got pregnant. Zi Chu once had a drink with Lv Buwei. After seeing this woman, she liked it very much. She stood up, toasted Lv Buwei, and asked to give her to him. Lv Buwei was very angry, but on second thought, he had spent a lot of money on Zi Chu's property. In order to capture exotic goods, he gave it to this woman, namely Evonne. Seven months later, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, which was to win the government. Later, Zi Chu ascended the throne of Qin, made Evonne his successor, and won the throne as a prince. Lv Buwei became prime minister and was named Wen Xin Hou, a food city with 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan Province, with 3,000 diners and 10,000 family members. Zi Chu, king of Zhuangxiang, died soon, and Ying Zheng succeeded him to the throne at the age of 13. Because the new king is young, Evonne is the Empress Dowager and Lv Buwei is the Prime Minister, the so-called "Guan Zhong" acts arbitrarily on state affairs. Evonne and Lv Buwei rekindled their old love. Later, Lv Buwei was afraid that things would be exposed, so he sent the mashed potatoes poison to the palace. Under the cover of eunuchs, he had an affair with Evonne and gave birth to two illegitimate children. The cuckold husband of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang is as big as a cloak!

Of course, Lv Buwei's contribution is still great. His son, Ying Zheng, inherited the treacherous and speculative gene peculiar to businessmen, which made Qin, which was not the most powerful at that time, annex six countries, unify China and establish the first centralized feudal country in China. When Lv Buwei was in power, he also ordered diners to compile a famous book-Lu Chunqiu (also known as Lu Lan). Later, due to the rebellion of Laoyi Group, Lv Buwei was relieved of his post as prime minister and lived in Henan fief. Soon, Ying Zheng, king of Qin, ordered his family to move to Shu. Lv Buwei was afraid of being killed, so he drank. Because Ying Zheng was an illegitimate child, Ying Zheng probably didn't know before he died that King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was tricked into the cemetery, but as everyone knows, this anecdote came out at the top of the list!
