Chapter 59 Section Three

Wan Yanliang did consolidate the imperial rule and promote the economic development of the Jin Kingdom through moving the capital and a series of reforms, but according to some historical records, Wan Yanliang is very lewd and immoral, and even many novels describe him as a greedy woman Shameless bastards.So how did Wan Yanliang get her notoriety for being a womanizer? Wan Yanliang is a well-deserved tyrant. It would be better if he didn't make any achievements. The more achievements he has, the more troublesome he is. The more complacent he is, the more he feels that he is incredible. "The Benji of the King of Hailing in Jin Dynasty" commented on Wan Yanliang, "wisdom is enough to refuse advice, words are enough to cover up wrongs".He refused ministers to give him advice, none of you are as wise as I am, and he can turn black into white and white into flowers, and he can speak eloquently enough to cover up wrongdoing.Whoever the sky wants to die will be made crazy first, Wan Yanliang is crazy.Killing a minister can be regarded as eliminating dissidents, but after killing the minister, bringing all the family members into the palace is unjustifiable.

Wan Yanliang has three major ambitions in his life: to hold all the power in the world in his own hands;Now that he is the emperor, he has made so many contributions, and he is the most wise, so he wants to realize his third ideal, "get the most beautiful woman in the world and marry her".Wan Yanliang saw the widows left by the clans and ministers he had killed, including his aunts, aunts, brothers and wives, cousins, cousins, and nieces.But he himself felt embarrassed, what should he do?He thought, it would be better if a minister advised me to do this, and I humbly accepted the suggestion.

So Wan Yanliang found Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu was still alive at that time, the two of them had such a close relationship, Xiao Yu was simply a parasite in Wan Yanliang's stomach, he knew what Wan Yanliang was thinking.Wan Yanliang told Xiao Yu that you suggested that I take them all into the palace, and I accepted, but I didn't expect Xiao Yu to be very uncooperative in this matter.Xiao Yu feels ashamed, I gave you so many bad ideas, Taizu Taizong's descendants were all killed, I will suffer retribution in the future.Because you are the emperor, no one will do anything to you. After I die, I will definitely enter "Biography of Traitors".So he said he didn't want to do it.Wan Yanliang threatened again and again in a fit of rage.Xiao Yu was helpless, went to the court the next day, and stammered to tell the emperor that those ministers were executed for their crimes, but they themselves were guilty, not as bad as their wives and children.Their family is quite pitiful, with orphans and widows. Your Majesty is kind, why don't you raise these widows to the palace?When the emperor heard that Longyan was very happy, Aiqing's proposal was very good, and it made me a good name for a generation of virtuous monarchs.Wan Yanliang immediately issued an order to let me all enter the palace, Hula Hula, everyone is here.From the standpoint of the cultural customs of the Han nationality, this is simply a loss of human relations.From the point of view of Jurchen's traditional habits, there is nothing inappropriate to implement the system of adoptive marriage.But you even adopted your aunt, aunt, and niece, which is not in line with human ethics. Wan Yanliang has gone too far.

Wan Yan was so obsessed with bright colors that he lost all human relations. This was not enough, but he turned his attention to the temple again, thinking about the wives and concubines of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.He ordered Empress Tu Shan to come forward and invite the minister's wives into the palace, so that he could peek behind the curtain and choose whoever he liked, and the empress would keep him in the palace.The queen flatly refused. I am the mother of the country, and my mother respects the world. I cannot set an example for my subjects.You have done all kinds of bad things, and I have failed to dissuade you, which is already dereliction of duty.The empress is the head of the harem, the emperor cannot indulge in lust, if the emperor does this, it will be the empress' dereliction of duty.But the queen didn't dare to provoke him, the emperor was so anxious that he would kill everyone, his uncle hacked to death several times, the queen didn't dare to persuade him.This time the queen said that I had failed my duty, and I really couldn't do it.The emperor said, do you want to do it, queen?If you want to be a queen, you have to be my accomplice. If you don't become an accomplice, the queen will be replaced.Empress Tudan had no choice but to act according to the emperor's order to recruit the court's wives into the palace, and keep whoever Wanyanliang liked.Wan Yanliang's murder of ministers is barely a means of political struggle to eliminate dissidents, but such lewdness has left a lot of bad reviews in history, and it has become a negative example.

Wan Yanliang not only brought into the palace the family members of the clan ministers killed by him, but also brought into the palace the wives of the ministers he liked, and even the wives of the heroes around him.He was able to ascend to the throne, and besides him who conspired to kill the king, there were three high-level officials, the prime minister Tang Kuobian, Wanyan Bingde, and Dali Temple Qing Wudai. It is a small person, not worth mentioning.Wan Yanliang was able to ascend to the throne, and the black belt has made great achievements.Wudai's wife is more dissolute by nature, so she has an unclear relationship with Wan Yanliang.After Wan Yanliang became the emperor, he missed Wu Dai's wife very much, so he told her that the emperor can have two queens. If you strangle your husband to death and come to the palace to serve me, I will make you the queen.Mrs. Wu Dai immediately stated that we were foolish and ignorant when we were young, and did foolish things. Now that our children have grown up, let's save some face for you and me.Wan Yanliang said, if you don't obey, I will kill your whole family.Wu Dai's wife said that I can strangle my husband to death, but the problem is that my son is by my side, so it's not easy to do it!Wan Yanliang said, it doesn't matter, I'll transfer your son to the palace to be on duty, you hurry up, I'll wait for the letter.Wudai's wife had no choice but to get her husband drunk when her son was on duty in the palace, and then strangled him to death with her own hands.

The reason why Wudai helped Wan Yanliang usurp the throne was entirely because of the tyranny of Jin Xizong. After Wan Yanliang came to power, his wife was sent away, and he was strangled to death for no reason, and became a ghost of an unjust death.This kind of thing happened endlessly in Wan Yanliang's dynasty. In order to get the stunning woman, he did not hesitate to kill the ministers, making everyone in the courtiers feel insecure.Later Jin Shizong Wan Yanyong rebelled against Wan Yanliang, which was also closely related to this kind of incident.
