In Chinese history, many emperors were "lucky" to be promoted to the throne by fate. In fact, in terms of their personal talents, they were not necessarily suitable to be emperors because most of them had not experienced the cruelty of nature. Without the elimination process, quality cannot be guaranteed. The royal rules of China's feudal society have created countless foolish kings. However, although some people are not expected to be emperors, they can become artists in a good and unique education and living environment, such as Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Liang, Emperor Chen (Chen Shubao), Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Lord, Huizong of Song Dynasty, Ningzong of Song Dynasty, Xizong of Ming Dynasty, etc. Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, was a talented musician who was good at composing erotic poems. "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu" and "Linchun Music" were almost household names at that time and were extremely popular. During Chen Shubao's reign, he built a large palace and lived a luxurious life. He had banquets with his concubines and civil servants every day, and was drunk and dreamy. When the Sui soldiers went south, Chen Shubao did not prepare for war and defense, but still indulged in sexual pleasure. He believed that the natural dangers of the Yangtze River were insurmountable and did not take it seriously. He was later captured and perished. "Shang girls don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river." Later generations actually regarded Chen Houzhu's song as the sound of the country's subjugation. Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was versatile and could write poetry, music, calligraphy and painting, and was especially famous for his Ci. Li Yu's Ci has vivid images and vivid language. He plays an important role in the history of Chinese literature. He is known as the "Eternal Ci Emperor" and has great influence on later generations. Very big. He has never understood how to govern a country, let alone have the spirit and ambition of an emperor. Completely devoted to art, insensitive to politics, mediocrity fills the government and the public, there are no generals, and the country is increasingly weakened and corrupted. When the powerful Northern Song Dynasty army surrounded the city of Nanjing, he was still kept in the dark, still indulged in poetry and songs, and eventually became the subjugated emperor. Li Yu wrote desolately in "Farewell Song": "On the most hasty farewell day in the temple, the temple still plays farewell songs and sheds tears to the palace ladies." Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a talented painter and good at calligraphy. He claimed to be "thin". "Golden Book" also writes wild cursive. Painting attaches great importance to sketching. It is famous for its exquisite workmanship and lifelikeness, and it is a craftsman of flowers and birds. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he collected antiques, calligraphy and paintings, recruited painters, and expanded the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Academy. Huizong of the Song Dynasty was also a superstitious believer in Taoism, claiming to be the Taoist Lord and Emperor, and built a large number of palaces and temples. Although Huizong of the Song Dynasty was quite talented in art and had the standard of painting and calligraphy, he was not the material to be an emperor. Traitors were in power, power was lost, the government was in chaos, the people were in dire straits, and peasant uprisings broke out everywhere. After the Song-Jin war broke out, the corrupt and incompetent Northern Song army was vulnerable. Huizong was captured, became the overlord of the country, and died in a foreign country. Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, was a "diligent" emperor. His diligence did not lie in governing the country, but he had a special liking for making woodware. He had to do all the knife, ax, saw and chisel by himself. Ming Xizong was very ingenious, and the beds, lacquerware, comb boxes, etc. he made were so exquisite that ordinary skilled craftsmen could not match them. He has a peculiar habit, that is, after admiring his "work", he immediately destroys it, redesigns it in a new style, and continues to make it. He was never tired, immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, and threw national affairs out of mind. At that time, internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty intensified. There were turbulent peasant uprisings internally and encroaching Manchu cavalry externally. The country was riddled with holes. Ming Xizong turned a blind eye and listened but allowed the eunuch Wei Zhongxian to control the government. The politics was extremely dark and the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. perish. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, once wrote an eternal poem: "I am an old man, and I have ambitions for thousands of miles." Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, left a classic sigh: "The strong winds are blowing, the clouds are flying, and the powerful warriors are returning to their hometown, and the warriors are guarding the four directions." , but its starting point is not "art", but to express his heroic ambition to make achievements, which is very different from the faint king who devotes all his body and mind to "art". Emperor artists devote themselves wholeheartedly to art, and their sensibility overwhelms rationality. Naturally, they have no time to care about politics. Therefore, emperor artists will eventually transform into self-destructive kings. First place: Li Cunxu, the emperor who was slapped for singing. Reason for being on the list: Unimaginable "professionalism". Li Cunxu was the founder of the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He liked watching operas and acting since he was a child. After he became emperor, he often painted his face with powder. Mo, put on a costume, performed on stage, ignored the government affairs; and took the stage name "Li Tianxia". One time when he was acting on stage, he shouted "Li Tianxia" twice. An actor went up and slapped him in the face, which made everyone around him break into a cold sweat. Li Cunxu asked why he was beaten, and the actor flattered him and said: "Li (Li), there is only one emperor in the world. You shouted twice, who is the other one?" After hearing this, Li Cunxu not only did not punish him, but rewarded him. Actors were favored and could freely enter and leave the palace to fight with the emperor, insult and tease the courtiers, which was ridiculous to the extreme. Second place: Emperor Ming Xizong, whose hands were itchy after not doing carpentry work for one day. The reason for being on the list: It’s not that he is “missing a door”, but that he is “the only one”. Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, had a talent for carpentry since he was a child. He was not involved in government affairs and indulged in the carpentry work of sawing, axe, and painting paint all day long. His skills were beyond the reach of ordinary skilled craftsmen. He can make all the wooden utensils and pavilions he has seen. This guy is definitely a genius. Moreover, he must do all the carpentry work such as sawing, axe-cutting, painting and painting by himself, enjoying it endlessly, even forgetting to eat and sleep. Really born in the wrong place. The prototype of "Nine Beauties" shot by Li Xiang is probably him.

Third place: Emperor Xiao Baojuan, who performed acrobatics to the point of self-mutilation. Reason for being on the list: Acrobatics became a "performance show" in the palace. The sixth emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this man did not like reading and played excessively. He often stayed up all night to hunt rats for fun. Ignore government affairs. What's even more shocking is that he also loves acrobatics to the point of obsession. He personally collected and summarized some old acrobatic programs, and even created many new programs of his own. For example, he relied on his strength as an ox to carry a 7-foot-5-foot wooden prop on his shoulders, let the actors writhe on it, and performed the stunt of holding a log in his teeth, which resulted in his mouth being filled with blood. He also designed a costume for himself, and wore the costume to fight, chase and play in the harem. It was really difficult for the emperor to do this. Fourth place: Emperor Yu Wenyun who held a fashion show. Reason for being on the list: He is not inferior to Pelomont and will make Versace angry to death. Yuwen Yun (yun) was the fourth emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is said in history: "When Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, he showed off his extravagant desires." But the most shocking thing about him is his love for unconventional clothes, always being creative and looking cool. Let's take a look at his attire: he wears a tall crown that reaches the sky, his body is decorated with golden cicadas, and he wears an almost exaggerated large ribbon at an angle. If it were today, this person would definitely go to the "T" stage to make his debut. He is such a stinker, but he issued an order: Except for palace servants, no women in the world are allowed to wear makeup or powder. If you dare, please him. Fifth place: Emperor Gao Wei, the lead singer of the absolutely super platinum "band" Reason for being on the list: One person is both a songwriter and a singer, a stunning band combination. Gao Wei was the fifth emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. His national power was declining and the imperial court was in disarray. This guy didn't care at all. He even called himself the "Emperor Wuyou" and played tricks that were ingenious. The most shocking thing was that he wrote lyrics and music himself. He played the pipa and sang by himself, and when he got into the mood, he ordered thousands of eunuchs and slaves to accompany him. The scene was extremely grand and as popular as the current "Super Man and Super Girl". It can be called the originator of "band combination".
