Shun: Shun was born into poverty. His father was a blind musician, and he knew his son was not as good as his father. The blind old musician knew all about his son and wanted to kill him several times, but he failed. They were all escaped by Shun. Later, Shun gained Yao's trust and rose through the ranks. After he gained power, he killed Yao's son Danzhu, imprisoned Yao, and forced Yao to "abdicate" the throne to him. In addition, he also accepted Yao's two daughter. He was the first person in Chinese history to engage in "abdication". After Cao Pi married the two daughters of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to abdicate, he said proudly: "Now I know what abdication was like in ancient times!"
Yi Yin: Yi Yin is Tang After Tang's death, he assisted Tang's son Taijia, but soon after, he listed a bunch of crimes against Taijia, imprisoned Taijia in Tong Palace, and made himself king. Three years later, Taijia escaped with the help of his loyal ministers and returned to kill Yiyin. Later, Yi Yin's image was beautified, mainly because some ministers in power wanted to use Yi Yin as an example to depose the emperor they did not like. Just look at those people who later called themselves Yi Yin. They had a life-and-death relationship with the emperor: Huo Guang (whose family was killed after his death), Dong Zhuo (who was killed), Sun Jun (whose family was later killed), Sima Zhao (who died after his death) His son usurped power)...
Liu Bei: When people say that Lu Bu is a slave of the third surname, they often forget about Liu Bei. Liu Bei first followed Liu Yan and then Gongsun Zan. Tao Qian gave him some troops and he surrendered to Tao Qian. Not long after, Tao Qian died for no apparent reason, and his two sons also died unexpectedly. Not long after Liu Bei's stay in Xuzhou, his territory was taken away by Lu Bu, so he shamelessly took shelter under Lu Bu's sect, but Lu Bu didn't trust him after all, so he followed Cao Cao to destroy Lu Bu. But once he arrived in the capital, he tried to kill Cao Cao again. Finally, he rebelled against Cao Cao in Xuzhou. After the failure, he defected to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao failed, he defected to Liu Biao. After Liu Biao's death, one son surrendered to Cao Cao and the other son was in the hands of Liu Bei. The young man died of excessive drinking and debauchery. Zhou Yu defeated Cao Ren and obtained Jingzhou, but Liu Bei shamelessly borrowed Jingzhou and refused to return it until the final breakup. Liu Bei's last betrayal was Liu Zhang, the son of his old boss Liu Yan. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that he refused to seize the territory of his clan. That is nonsense, but he was very enthusiastic.
Zhuge Liang: After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang squeezed out Li Yan and others, the original ministers of Yizhou, and took power. He also spoke to Liu Chan in the tone of a father lecturing his son, and made a list of names to ask Liu Chan to trust him. The palace and the mansion are all integrated, which means everyone has to listen to Zhuge Liang. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang died early, and his son was still young when he died, so he didn't have time to usurp the throne. However, Zhuge Liang in the south and Sima in the north had similar tricks.
Li Shimin: This generation of Mingjun has a record of massacres of cities, a history of killing brothers, kidnapping his father, usurping the throne, and taking his sister-in-law into the palace to be his concubine. He is completely cruel and cruel. He was a murderous and lustful guy, but Tang Taizong was good at putting on a show. The scene where he met Gaozu after killing his brother, sucking Gaozu's nipples and crying was really disgusting. Not only did he rewrite history, he also deliberately left a story in the history books to show that he had no right to interfere with the historical records. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once laughed at Emperor Qin and Han Wu for their superstitious belief in the golden elixir of immortality. In the end, he himself died of poisoning after taking the golden elixir.
Zhao Gou: When people have been scolding Qin Hui for generations, have they ever thought that Qin Hui was just an accomplice? Without the emperor’s will, where would the twelve gold medals come from? Without the emperor’s acquiescence, Qin Hui How could a general whose status was equivalent to a deputy prime minister be unjustly killed on unfounded charges? Later, Qin Hui and others would always kneel in front of Yue Fei's tomb as scapegoats, but nothing happened to Song Gaozong.
Zhu Xi: Zhu Xi is a representative figure of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. He advocates "preserving natural principles and destroying human desires" and has very strict moral requirements. He also used Cheng Yichuan's saying that "starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big matter." His theory persuaded his friend's sister to be virtuous, but he himself had a hidden incident of forcing his widowed sister-in-law to marry in order to usurp his deceased brother's property. In addition, in order to retaliate against Tang Zhongyou who did not agree with his views, Zhu Xi tortured a prostitute named Yan Rui in an attempt to force her to admit that she had a relationship with Tang. However, Yan Rui refused. From this incident, it can be seen that this moralist's The ideological realm is not as good as that of a prostitute.
Hai Rui: Hai Rui had a daughter who was only seven years old. Because she stole a piece of cake from someone else, Hai Rui forced her to starve to death. In fact, it was impossible for such a young child to commit suicide. She was really starved. Dead. Guan Zhong said: In order to please Qi Henggong, Yi Ya cooked his son for him to eat. This kind of person is extremely cruel. He will do anything for the sake of glory and wealth. You must not trust him. In contrast, Hai Rui starved his seven-year-old daughter to death in order to maintain his reputation as an upright official. In fact, he was essentially the same as Yi Ya.
Hongli: Emperor Qianlong Hongli was a destroyer of culture, but he did not burn books to harass Confucians like Qin Shihuang, causing bleeding and scratching. Instead, he vigorously promoted primary schools so that Confucians could read the classics. , don’t care about worldly affairs. The Sikuquanshu compiled by him collected a large number of rare and original copies, tampered with them arbitrarily, and destroyed the original works. Many words were changed out of shape, especially those involving Jurchens and Manchus, and he even cursed "captives" and "captives". None of the "Tatars" were spared. In addition, Qianlong also had a hobby, which was to cover all the ancient paintings and calligraphy he admired with an eight-inch-square "Qianlong Imperial Appreciation". Some paintings were no more than a foot wide, but they were still covered correctly. Many famous paintings were covered by him to a larger size. Destroy the scenery.
Hong Xiuquan: A failed scholar who suddenly became the leader of a cult. He also established a separatist regime that combined politics and religion, and changed Christian teachings into a ridiculous farce. Originally, his death and the destruction of his country proved the bankruptcy of his myth of heaven on earth, but later he was used by different people to dress him up as the spokesperson of the farmers and a national hero, so this person still needs to be brought out and exposed.
