Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of Qi, was a famous bad king. He catches mice, sleeps late, drives people away, goes out to play ... all kinds of strange behaviors, but his most famous quirk is opening a shop.
According to "Seven Books of Nanqi", Hunhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty "was in Yuan Zhongli City again, and the official entered the wine, meat and miscellaneous vegetables every day, which made the imperial secretary kill him, Pan Fei was the city order, and the emperor was the duke, so he was punished. Those who fight for it will be sentenced to Pan Fei. " There are thousands of people playing with him, and half of the people in Beijing are scared to run around.
There is a similar record in the Chapter of Southern History Qi Benji: "We opened a canal again, bowed our heads and led the boat, set up a shop on it, and sat down to kill meat." The eccentric behavior of Dong Hunhou and Pan Fei was very popular at that time. There was a folk song: "Read my hall, plant willows, kill meat supreme, and drink Pan Fei wine."
Dong Hunhou, as an open king of a country, is so ignorant to do such bourgeois business. Only two years after he ascended the throne, Xiao Yan set out to besiege Jiankang (now Nanjing), and a generation of Emperor Philip was killed by the Ministry, aged only 19.
Bodhisattva emperor
There have been cases of "Three Martial Arts and One Case" in history (Taiwuzong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wudi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wuzong in the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Shizong in the Five Dynasties), but there have also been loyal Buddhist believers like Liang Wudi, Wu Zetian and Tang Zhongzong. Among them, Liang Wudi Xiao Yan is the most prominent. He is the "Emperor and Bodhisattva" (as ministers called him in their memorials).
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strongly advocated Buddhism and invested heavily in building temples. At that time, there were 2,846 large and small temples in China, among which Da 'aijing Temple, Du Zhi Temple, Jiefang Temple and Tongtai Temple were the largest. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once lamented: "The 480 halls in the Southern Dynasties were misty and rainy." He also wrote a lot of Buddhist works. "Although there are many things to do, I still keep rubbing my hands, lighting candles and standing sideways, often until evening." Moreover, the head of the department is particularly large, among which "Interpretation of Nirvana Sutra" has a volume of 10l.
At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also established the theory that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism originated from Buddhism. He also put forward the precept that Buddhists should not eat meat, which was not stipulated by Buddhism before. He wrote "Broken Wine and Meat" according to the contents of excellent Buddhism such as Nirvana Sutra. From then on, he set an example and lived an ascetic life: he only ate one meal a day without touching wine and meat, lived in a dark room in a small hall, wore a hat for three years and covered a quilt for two years.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also laid down his life in the temple three times: in the first year of Datong (527), he suddenly went to Tongtai Temple as a slave and lived with monks, and was later "redeemed" by the minister; Two years later, I went to the Buddhist temple again; In the first year of Taiqing (547), at the age of 84, he gave up his life in the temple for the third time and lived in the temple for more than a month. Emperor Wu spent 400 million yuan on three "redemption".
The Buddha did not bless this faithful believer. In the third year of Taiqing (549), Hou Jing staged a coup and conquered Jiankang. The bodhisattva emperor was captured and later starved to death.
Chess emperor
"When you are bored, you take chess, learn to be a scholar, learn to be an elephant, and be able to take charge. Soldiers move forward, don't talk back. You must learn to drive straight, not like a horse. If others block my kindness, I will play like a cannon for a while. " (Gui Zhi Yong Er Buba Volume) Tang Suzong Hengli is keen on chess, but he doesn't learn to be a bachelor, nor does he learn to ride a bike, but he just learns to ride a horse.
In Shang Dynasty, the accumulation of disasters aggravated the Tianbao Rebellion (also known as Anshi Rebellion). Su Zong and his beloved Princess Zhang Liangdi supported troops and fled to the west. On the way to escape, he was still obsessed with chess, ignoring the mountain of military reports and playing chess with Zhang all day. Premier's suggestion: If you don't pull back from the brink, you are in danger of repeating the mistake of Majipo incident (mutiny and killing Yang and others).
Su Zong still didn't converge. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he ordered the eunuchs to replace the "gold-bronze-shaped" pieces with wooden blocks carved by "dry tree chicken", so that others could not hear their voices when playing chess and throwing dice. People call this kind of chess "Baoying chess". In literary works, Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms and Liu Bowen in the late Yuan Dynasty all played chess in the background, winning victories thousands of miles away. Su Zong doesn't seem to show weakness.
Emperor cuju
Tang Xizong Li Xian likes horseback riding, cockfighting and cuju. He once proudly said, "If I want to hit the ball and win Jinshi chess, I must be the champion." He sometimes plays for two or three hours, even forgetting to eat, and the eunuchs and maids around him are in a hurry. He also ordered local officials to recommend young people with superb skills to the palace to accompany him to hit the ball. Many people are appointed as government officials because they are good at cuju. Eunuch Tian's brother won the game and was appointed as our ambassador. Of course, many people lost their lives because of playing football mistakes.
Play with things and get tired of it. In the first year of Ganfu (874), Wang Xianzhi revolted in Heng Chang, and Huang Chao responded. After the uprising finally subsided, Tian became authoritarian again. Emperor Cuju often talked with his cronies about the failure of state affairs and cried bitterly. In the first year of Guangqi (885), Li Keyong invaded Chang 'an, and Nuozong fled everywhere. In the first year of Wende (888), he died of anger.
