Chapter 87 Chapter 86: King Li Fusheng

Fu Jian never dreamed that the third son born to his wife Qiang was actually a one-eyed dragon, but it was a pity, because he was his own flesh and blood after all, so he named him Fu Sheng. When Fu Sheng was young, he was surprisingly strong and powerful, and he was able to fight fierce beasts with his bare hands.Fu Sheng also liked long-distance running, and he was able to catch up with galloping horses.No one can beat him with swords and guns.In the first four years of Emperor Qin Huangshi (354 A.D.), the crown prince Fu Chang died of a stray arrow while fighting the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Fu Sheng single-handedly charged into the enemy's line with a battle flag in his hand and killed more than a dozen generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty with his own hands.After the war, Fu Sheng was established as the prince.

In the first five years of the first Qin Emperor (355 A.D.), Fu Jian fell ill and was bedridden. When he was dying, he said to Fu Sheng: "If the chiefs and ministers do not obey your orders, you can gradually clean them up." Fu Jian died. rear.Fu Sheng inherited the throne and changed Yuan Shouguang. Fu Sheng was only 22 years old when he succeeded to the throne. This was an age when he was in his prime and full of promise.It is a pity that Fu Sheng was cruel by nature. He did not receive a good education in his childhood and youth. He lacked family education and was often ridiculed by people around him because of his physical defects. A murderous tyrant.When Fu Sheng met with ministers, he always drew his bow and arrows, drew his saber out of its sheath, and put hammers, pliers, saw blades, and chisels in front of him, and when he saw who was not pleasing to the eye, he would pick up these things around him and kill him.If any minister gave him a few words of advice, he would squint his eyes and say, "You are slander, pull it out and kill him." If any minister flattered him and said a few words of flattery, he would He tilted his mouth and said, "You are flattering me." He also pulled it out and killed him.Even if Fu Sheng's wives and concubines didn't go his way, they would kill them and throw their bodies into the Wei River.What is even more inhumane is that Fu Sheng often peeled off the faces of the prisoners and asked them to sing and dance in the palace to seek excitement. The ministers dared not even look at it, but Fu Sheng laughed while watching.Fu Sheng killed people in a variety of ways, some cut off the shin, some dug out the tire, some sawed the head, and some pulled it to pieces.Because Fu Sheng himself was one-eyed, he tabooed people from using such words as insufficient, lacking, few, nothing, missing, injured, disabled, ruined, partial, and double.Once, Fu Sheng asked the imperial physician to order Cheng Yan to adjust the medicine. Fu Sheng asked how much ginseng Cheng Yan used. Cheng Yan was only busy making the medicine and forgot Fu Sheng's taboo. He replied that he used "two sticks". Fu Sheng thought Cheng Yan He was laughing at his own eye, gouged out Cheng Yan's eye with his own hands, and then killed him.In this way, I don't know how many people were beheaded for violating Fu Sheng's taboo.

Fu Sheng was still an alcoholic, and he got very drunk every day.In the second year of Shouguang in the former Qin Dynasty (356 A.D.), Fu Sheng held a banquet in the front hall of Taiji and asked Shangshu to order Xin Lao to serve the wine.After drinking for a while, Fu Sheng suddenly stood up and said to Xin Lao, "Why are you so incompetent in pouring wine? There are still people sitting down." Arrow shot to death.The others were terrified when they saw this, and hurriedly filled their glasses and drank with their heads up, until they were so drunk that they passed out.Fu Sheng looked at everyone as drunk as mud, and then he smiled.

Fu Sheng was not only obscene and shameless to the extreme, but also let the court ladies and men have sex nakedly in front of the palace, and he took it for fun.On the way of his tour, Fu Sheng saw two brothers and sisters hurrying, so he ordered people to stop them and force them to have sex in front of everyone. The younger sister was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, and the older brother was furious. Seeing that they did not do this, Fu Sheng became furious and killed both brothers and sisters. The more tyrant, the more afraid others will take his seat.Not long after Fu Sheng ascended the throne, his Zhongshu Supervisor Hu Wen and Zhongshu Ling Wang Yu said: "Recently there are often guest stars. According to our speculation, within three years there will be a major disaster in the country, and the minister will be killed. If Your Majesty can cultivate morality and make good use of ministers, and the disaster will be eliminated naturally." Hu Wen and Wang Yu originally wanted to use the celestial phenomena to frighten Fu Sheng and make him change his ways, but Fu Sheng didn't accept this kind of trick, and mistakenly estimated that the ministers had something to do with him. Unreasonable thought, so he said to Hu and Wang: "There is nothing to be surprised about. The queen and I are enough to deal with the disaster. Taifu Maogui, Shangshuling Liang Leng, and Zuo Pushe Liang An are all ministers. Now kill them Isn’t that enough?” Mao Gui, Liang Leng, and Liang An just lost their heads in such a daze.Not long after, Fu Sheng pointed the butcher's knife at Prime Minister Lei Ruo'er, his 9 sons and 27 grandsons.In this way, Fu Sheng almost killed his clan, heroes and relatives with various trumped-up charges.Since then, the surviving princes and officials were worried that disasters would come at any time, so they all resigned and went home on the pretext of being sick.

It is said that at that time, tigers, leopards and wolves also echoed Fu Sheng, coming out to block roads and hurt people during the day, and destroying houses at night. Moreover, these wild beasts only ate people and did not hurt livestock. They ate more than 700 people within a year, making the people afraid to go out to farm. , can only live together.The ministers reported the truth to Fu Sheng, hoping to arouse Fu Sheng's compassion.Fu Sheng not only did not feel sorry for the people, but said: "The beasts will eat people when they are hungry, and they will stop eating people when they are full. They will not eat people all year round. Besides, the people suffer because of Their crimes angered the sky, as long as they don’t commit crimes, they won’t be harmed. Therefore, no matter what, don’t blame others.” I am afraid that only a fool like Fu Sheng can say such ridiculous words in the world.

Just when Fu Sheng was doing something wrong, Fu Jian, the son of Fu Xiong, Fu Jian's younger brother, was looking for an opportunity to kill Fu Sheng.One late night in June of the third year of Shouguang (AD 357), Fu Sheng suddenly said to the maid beside him inexplicably: "Brother Alpha is not reliable, I will kill them tomorrow." The maid quietly told Fu Jian what Fu Sheng said. And Fu Jian's elder brother Fu Fa.Upon hearing this, Brother Fu Jian made a decisive decision and acted immediately.Fu Fa sneaked into Yunlong Gate with hundreds of strong men; Fu Jian and Lu Polou led more than 300 soldiers and set off afterwards.Fu Sheng's guards had hated Fu Sheng for a long time, and when they saw Fu Jian's men coming, they all put down their weapons voluntarily.When Fu Jian arrived at Fu Sheng's dormitory, Fu Sheng was soundly asleep. He was awakened by the noise of soldiers and asked, "Who are they?" His confidant replied, "They are all thieves." Fu Sheng said sharply, "Why? Don't bow down!" Fu Jian's soldiers burst out laughing after hearing this.Hearing the laughter, Fu Sheng said angrily: "If you don't bow down quickly, you will be killed." Fu Sheng was killed by Fu Jian's soldiers as soon as he finished speaking. He was 23 years old at the time and was nicknamed "Li Wang ".
