Chapter 60 The fourth quarter is so murderous

As a well-known tyrant in Chinese history, Wan Yanliang was not only lustful but also easy to kill. He not only mutilated dissidents and killed innocent people indiscriminately in the court, but also made many extremely strange rules in the harem. execute.So, what strange rules did Wan Yanliang set? Wan Yanliang was alone in the palace, so many women, he might not be able to take care of them. He was worried that these women would have affairs with men outside the palace or men in the palace, so he strictly guarded against them.Not only are there eunuchs in the palace, there must be guards, and there are assassins coming, eunuchs can't be counted.Every time Wan Yanliang had a banquet with his concubines, he would throw something on the ground. Except for him, all the men present could only stare at this thing and could not look at other places.If the party is three hours long, you'll be staring at this thing for three hours.If your eyes wander away, not because you really want to see what the concubine looks like, but if you keep staring at one thing, you are too tired, and if your eyes move, then you will be killed immediately, which means you are peeping at the concubine.Men in the palace, whether they are guards or civil servants, must be at least four people to go out. If one person is not enough, four people have to go to the toilet together.Four people walked in front, and a person behind him followed the supervisor with a knife.If a man and a woman in the palace meet, they must report it, even if they do meet and show their faces, the two of them must report to Wan Yanliang.Those who report first will be rewarded with third-rank officials, regardless of whether they are women or men, as long as they report first, they will be given to third-rank officials, because concubines also have ranks at that time, and those who report later will be executed.Both reported at the same time, and both were rewarded.Whenever a man and a woman meet in the palace, they will run towards Wanyan Liang to see who can run faster.Because the third-rank official who reported first died after reporting, so he could only let go of his legs and feet to run for his life.Wan Yanliang not only managed the ministers by cruel methods, but also the management of the harem was full of blood.

Once, Wan Yanliang felt that the women in the northern country were not enough to look at, and wanted to find some beauties in the Central Plains, so he asked a Khitan minister surnamed Xiao, who stayed behind in Nanjing, to choose some beauties for himself.Sure enough, staying behind found a beautiful woman from the same clan, and prepared to send it to Wan Yanliang.During the transportation, when they arrived at Yanjing (the capital was still in Shangjing at that time), the father of the Khitan minister happened to be staying behind in Yanjing. When he saw the woman sent by his son, he was shocked.The father thought to himself, it’s bad, judging by the shape of this woman (I don’t know how to look at it), she doesn’t look like a virgin. If you give her to the emperor, the emperor will definitely think that you are a hindrance, and my son will die. Not guaranteed.Of course, he had to send it, that would be more troublesome, so he didn't tell his son, but just told his family, run as soon as you can, pack up the gold and silver, and the catastrophe of our family's genocide is about to come.His son went in without knowing it, and continued to escort the woman to Shangjing.Sure enough, seeing that the girl was not a virgin, Wan Yanliang suspected that the minister had done something beforehand, so he killed him, not only killed him, but also killed his whole family, including his father.His father had been a prime minister in the Xizong Dynasty, but he was killed for such a trivial matter. Fortunately, all the family members fled.

Wan Yanliang was brutal, murderous, and lustful, but in his hands, the Jurchens completed Sinicization, and the capital moved to the Han land in the Central Plains.But why was Wan Yanliang killed in the end? Why didn't he even have a temple name after his death?Was he finally punished for his lust?
