This sentence is the best interpretation that the ancient emperors held the power of life and death. But everything happens for a reason, and the teacher must be famous. No matter how cruel and murderous the emperor is, even if he controls the power of life and death, he must kill for a reason. In the history, when kings killed people, the most common and dignified reason was that their servants committed some big crimes such as "treason" and "attempted rebellion". There are also some kings who do whatever they want, and the reasons for killing people are varied, which can be said to be very wonderful. Here are a few typical examples to see how wonderful it is.
Liu Yu smelled garlic and killed people in the Southern Dynasties
Liu Yu was the eighth emperor in the Southern Dynasties. During his reign, this monarch was fierce and cruel, and he took pleasure in killing people all day. On one occasion, he went to the general Xiao Daocheng's mansion. Because he didn't know the emperor's hand in advance, Xiao Daocheng was lying at home with his belly bare. Suddenly, he heard that the emperor had arrived, and Xiao Daocheng had no time to arrange his skirt in a hurry, so he had to stand up and greet him. Liu Yu saw Xiao Daocheng's big belly and said "What a big belly". Xiao Daocheng listened with embarrassment, and what Liu Yu did next made Xiao Daocheng daylights out. Liu Yu actually ordered someone to draw a bull's-eye on his belly, and then Liu Yu personally bent his bow and led an arrow to shoot an arrow. Fortunately, the attendants who waited on Liu Yu proposed to wrap the arrow with a cloth, so that Xiao Daocheng was able to escape and avoid the bad luck of a sharp arrow.

On another occasion, a confidant named Sun Chao smelled of garlic when Liu Yu was also waiting on him. Liu Yu was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic, so he ordered the left and right guards to seize Sun Chao, cut Sun Chao's stomach open cruelly with a knife, and carried out a "caesarean section" just to see if there was garlic in Sun Chao's stomach.
There are countless stories about Liu Yu's cruelty, and Liu Yu also vividly embodies the famous saying of ancient dynasties, "A companion is like a tiger". Xiao Daocheng, Yang Yufu, the ministers of the DPRK, are in danger. In order to protect himself, Yang Yufu killed Liu Yu while he was sleeping. When Liu Yu died, he was only fifteen years old, and he became a rare emperor in history who was murdered without seeking usurpation of the throne.

Gao Yang, the drunkard emperor of Northern Qi Dynasty, was drunk and killed people
Gao Yang, a drunkard in Wen Xuandi, Northern Qi Dynasty, was always unhappy and drunk every time he drank. There is nothing wrong with drinking. The problem is that Gaoyang's wine is particularly poor. Whenever he is drunk, he will lose his mind and kill people. ?
Princess Le 'an is Gao Yang's niece and married the son of Cui Xian, the right servant of Shangshu, who died at this time. Once Gao Yang asked Princess Le 'an if her life was happy. Princess Le 'an casually said, "Life is ok, but her mother-in-law doesn't like her very much." A very plain sentence made Gao Yang bear a grudge. Gao Yang went to Cui Xian's house and personally cut Cui Xian's first wife, Lee.

Gao Yang has a beautiful concubine, Xue Shi. Gao Yang usually dotes on Xue Fei in every way, but before that, Xue Fei and Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, had a good relationship, so Gao Yang often became suspicious when he was drunk. He always thought that Xue Fei and Gao Yue were separated, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. So Gao Yang poisoned Gao Yue, a "rival in love", with poisonous wine, and then he poisoned her. Not only that, Gao Yang also threw Xue Fei's head on the wine table, so that all the people attending the banquet were frightened to disgrace.
When he was sober, Gao Yang beat his chest and stamped his feet, and made an infatuation appearance that he could not regret. On the other hand, he ordered someone to "disassemble" Xue Fei's body, turn his leg bones into a pipa, and while crying, he played the sensational drama of "The Sri Lankan is dead", which made people wonder whether he had lost his mind.

In the former Qin Dynasty, King Li, Shu Sheng failed to be a "matchmaker", and he suddenly started to kill people in a rage.
In the former Qin Dynasty, King Li, Shu Sheng was also a wonderful emperor, and he treated human life like grass and mustard, and if he didn't agree with a word, he brutally killed people. The reason for killing people was to carry out the "wonderful work" to the end.
once, Chan Sheng gave a banquet to his ministers. In order to enjoy the drink, he specially made Shang Shu Xin Prison as the "wine supervisor" and ordered that he must go home with all his heart. This Xin prison was afraid that the ministers would get drunk and make a fool of themselves, which annoyed the "god-killer" who was killed, so he was not very active in persuading wine. Who knows this just caused the dissatisfaction of the students. Without speaking, he took a bow and arrow from the side silently and shot Xin Prison cruelly.
(Pei Sheng)
Pei Sheng is cruel and easy to kill, not only in the palace, but also outside the palace. There was a boy who met a man and a woman when he was traveling, and he didn't know which tendon to take. Suddenly, he became angry with the media, thinking that the man and the woman were "a match made in heaven" and should be married, and ordered them to "get married" on the spot. This man and a woman explained that they were brother and sister, and refused to give birth to the "marriage", which angered the tyrant, and pulled out the sword and hacked them to death. ?
Conclusion: No matter Liu Yu, Emperor Gao Yang, an alcoholic in the Northern Qi Dynasty, or Sheng, an emperor in the former Qin Dynasty, they are all temperamental tyrants who kill innocent people for various reasons. Because of this, the end of the three emperors was not much better. Liu Yu in the Southern Dynasties and the former Qin Yusheng both died at the hands of his ministers. Liu Yu was only 15 years old when he was killed, and he was 22 years old when he was killed. The drunkard emperor ended up better than the first two, and died of years of alcoholism at the age of 34.
