However, there was an emperor in history who not only could not spend his own money, but was also beaten by his ministers for twenty slaughter. He was the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng.

In feudal society, the emperor was the supreme ruler, and the people and things in the world were his private property. The emperor, also known as the emperor, is the eldest son of heaven, and it is even more undeniable. However, there was an emperor in history who not only could not spend his own money, but was also beaten by his ministers for twenty slaughter. He was the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng. What is going on in

? This matter has to start with the founding emperor Wanyan Aguda. After some hard work, the Jin Kingdom was established, but its foundation was too weak and its fiscal revenue was too small. In order to fight against Liao, Western Xia and Northern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda had to tighten his belt and live a life. The palace was extremely simple. The palace wall was surrounded by willow trees and a fence. There was no desk in the hall, but only a fire pit. During the meeting, the emperor and his ministers sat on the kang together.

In addition, Wanyan Aguda also set a rule with the ministers that the public funds of the treasury, especially designated military expenses, shall not be misappropriated in normal times. If necessary, the important officials must vote together and all of them can be transferred. If there is any violation, hit the top 20 boards. When Wanyan Aguda was alive, this iron order was always well followed. After his death, his younger brother Wanyan Sheng succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Taizong of Jin.

Jin Taizong was also an ideal emperor. He also abides by this agreement and governs the country with thriftiness. The Jin Dynasty gradually became stronger and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty a few years later. At this time, Jin Taizong felt that he wanted to improve his living conditions, and the clothes he wore and the dormitory he lived in were not even more indifferent. But in life, you have to drink good wine and eat good meat to live your life without vain. However, Jin Taizong is poor and has no money in his pocket. What should I do? The treasury has it, and if you buy some wine and meat, you shouldn't be discovered.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the Prime Minister found problems when he regularly counted the treasury. After layers of investigation, the suspect was finally identified as the emperor. So, following the iron order, Emperor Taizong of Jin was helped off the dragon throne by the minister, beaten twenty boards, and was helped back to the throne. Then, the ministers knelt down and begged for forgiveness. Emperor Taizong of Jin had to praise them because they were reasonable and well-founded, which also became a beautiful story about "the law is not valuable" in history.
