In the ancient times when imperial power was supreme, is the king's land under the world . Things within the four seas can be said to be the emperor's private property. Therefore, it is normal for the emperors to take it from the people and use it for themselves. But in ancient times, an emperor was beaten by civil and military ministers in the court for stealing some property from the treasury. This emperor is Jin Taizong .
Jin Taizong is the second emperor of Jin Dynasty , the fourth brother of Taizu Wanyan Aguda. His greatest political achievements were to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty and capture two Han emperors, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.
However, it was precisely such a hero who was slapped by his ministers, and Jin Taizong himself was suffering and could not speak out. Not only could he not punish the ministers, but he also had to praise them for their good beating.
The emperor was beaten
At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda made an oath with his ministers. The property in the treasury could only be used in wartime. If someone steals it privately and violates the oath, no matter who it is, he will be beaten twenty.
Jurchen Although it is a minority ethnic group like the Central Plains, it also practices the etiquette of the Han family in the Central Plains and attaches great importance to filial piety. Especially for this kind of ancestral rule, even the kings of the world cannot change it at will.
And Jin Taizong violated such an ancestor rule. In fact, Jin Taizong didn't steal much property, but he was still discovered by the prime minister who was responsible for counting the treasury. The Prime Minister felt that the matter was serious, so he reported it to Wanyan Zonghan .
This Wanyan Zonghan is not an ordinary person. He is known as the first hero of the founding of the Jin Dynasty. He once followed Jin Taizu to fight in the south and north. He made great contributions and had high prestige. During a court discussion, he brought up the matter.
Finally, after discussion by the ministers, it was decided to punish the emperor. They set up Jin Taizong and beat a total of 20 big boards. Afterwards, with Wanyan Zonghan as the leader, all the ministers knelt in front of Emperor Taizong of Jin and apologized.
But Jin Taizong had no choice but to pardon the ministers' crimes, but also praised them for their good fights. This kick was in vain.
