In the feudal society of China, feudal emperors were the supreme rulers of ancient society. They would hit anyone who wanted to hit, and the other party did not dare to resist. But the emperor I want to introduce below is a little frustrated. He just stole the money from the treasury and spent money on the country. As a result, after the incident was exposed, he was pulled from the throne by a general on the spot and beaten up 20 big boards. So what was going on?
It turned out that this emperor was Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng (shèng). When Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu started a rebellion against the Liao Kingdom, as Jin Taizu's younger brother, Wanyan Sheng was responsible for handling political and economic related affairs in the rear, and was actually trained by Jin Taizu as his successor. Since the treasury of the Jin Dynasty was poor before the revolt, Jin Taizu swore with the ministers: the gold, silver and jewelry of the Jin Dynasty treasury can only be used during wars. If someone violates the oath, he will be punished with a 20-plate slaughter.
In 1123 AD, after the unfulfilled Jin Taizu passed away, Wanyan Sheng became emperor in Huining Prefecture , known in history as Jin Taizong. Soon the Jin Dynasty destroyed the corrupt Liao Kingdom and . Northern Song . At this time, Wanyan Sheng also began to become increasingly luxurious, so he quietly opened the door to the treasury several times and used the treasury money to buy wine and enjoy it. Soon the treasury money was spent by Jin Taizong. At the end of the year, the then Minister of Finance discovered this situation and immediately reported it to the general Wanyan Zonghan .
Everyone knows that Wanyan Zonghan was an important general who destroyed the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty, and had great practical power. When he heard that Emperor Taizong of Jin had blatantly violated the alliance left by his ancestors, the general was furious and cursed 4 words: "I rebel against him!" Soon, Wanyan Zonghan won over a group of ministers in the court. After Emperor Taizong of Jin came to court, Wanyan Zonghan first wrote a letter, angeringly rebuked the emperor's stealing behavior. In shame, Jin Taizong had to admit his fault.
But the next scene was incredible: under the leadership of Wanyan Zonghan, the ministers pulled Jin Taizong down from the throne of high power and imposed a 20-pillar punishment in front of everyone. After Jin Taizong, whose butt was beaten to the point of pain, limped back to the throne, Wanyan Zonghan led the ministers to kneel down and ask the emperor to punish them. Seeing this situation, Emperor Taizong of Jin could only sigh helplessly, "You are all loyal ministers!" So he issued an edict to pardon them, and since then he never touched a penny from the Jin Dynasty's treasury again.
