Chapter 47 Chapter 4 murderous

To deal with rebels, Liao Muzong's only way is to kill people.Over time, he developed a cruel, violent, and bloodthirsty character.According to historical records, Mu Zong killed as many people and used cruel methods as compared with any tyrant in Chinese history.So, what records are there in the historical records about the indiscriminate killing of innocents by Liao Muzong? In "The Chronicle of Muzong of Liao History", the most frequently used words to describe Muzong of Liao Dynasty are drunk and killed.Who are you killing?Kill the people around him, his servants and ministers.He was a little bit dissatisfied and dissatisfied. He grabbed anything and threw it on people's heads. He often beat people with stone paperweights or Guduo. Guduo is a kind of weapon that the Khitan people like to use. Small copper hammer.Many of his valets were crushed in the head by a stone paperweight or a copper hammer.

To give a few examples: In the first month of 963 A.D., a slave who grazed animals for him was killed by him; One raised small animals; in December, another pig farmer was killed.You said that you are an emperor, so why are you always competing with these people? According to the current words, is the price falling or not?Mu Zong also did it himself, and even the executioner was spared. Even if the minister was really guilty, he should be sent to the Secretary for punishment according to the law.That's good, the emperor killed himself, and he didn't have any serious crimes. Liao Muzong killed innocent people indiscriminately to a heinous level.The Khitan royal family raised a lot of deer. One day, Mu Zong got angry and wondered why he sobered up that day. He didn't have many sober moments, so he went to check these deer.When I checked, I found that there were fewer deer.I don't know how the emperor knows how many deer he has raised when he is drunk all day long?He said in a daze that there was less, and immediately killed all seven deer breeders.This is not over, they cut off their heads, built a mound, put their heads on the mound to show the public, and did not allow others to collect their bodies.Just because a few deer were missing, and it was not known whether these deer were real or fake, several deer keepers were killed.Another time, when the emperor was having dinner, the servant serving him the tableware moved a little slower. The emperor pulled out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed the servant to death.Just because of such a small matter, it is another human life.

Once, when the emperor was hunting, an attendant moved too slowly, causing the prey to slip through the net. The emperor actually sentenced the attendant to be burned.King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty used this kind of torture. The copper pillar was burned, and people were tied to it and burned to death.Another time, an attendant went home without asking Mu Zong for leave because his wife was ill.After Mu Zong heard about this incident, he sent someone to chase after that attendant's house, killed his wife, steamed it and gave it to this attendant. Don't you say your wife is sick?That's fine, let me treat her, isn't high temperature able to sterilize?Steam her so that she will never get sick.In Chinese history, I have seen tyrants, but never such a tyrant; I have seen bad people, but I have never seen such a bad one.

Mu Zong killed too many people, and sometimes when he sobered up, he felt a little bit embarrassed.So he said hypocritically: "The guilty shall be punished. I may be angry and abuse the innocent. You and others will remonstrate, and there is no way to follow" ("The History of Mu Zong").Those who are guilty should be punished, but sometimes I lose my temper casually, get angry, abuse the innocent, and the ministers should advise me, don't submit, and you don't want me to convey whatever will you all carry out.
