Most of the emperors were famous and famous during their lifetimes, and the scenery was beautiful, but some emperors were very miserable after their deaths, and there was even one who was made into bacon after death, which was the only one in history.

Jerod light. In 927 AD, at the age of 25, Yelu Deguang became the Khan of the Khitan Kingdom. At that time, the Central Plains region was in a chaotic period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and years of war made the people's lives difficult. Yelu Deguang has great ambitions, he has always wanted to annex the Central Plains.

Jerod light. Nine years later, the opportunity finally came. In order to replace the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao, the son-in-law of Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty, decided to cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, offer 300,000 horses of silk every year, and recognized Yelu Deguang, who was ten years younger than him, as his father. On this condition, Yelu Deguang agreed to send troops to assist Shi Jingjiao in defeating the Later Tang Dynasty and establishing the Later Jin Dynasty.

After Shi Jingjiao's death, he was succeeded by his nephew Shi Chonggui. Shi Chonggui was unwilling to let the wealth of the Later Jin Dynasty continue to flow into the Khitan treasury and proposed it to Yelu Deguang"Calling the grandson not a minister"requirements. Yelu Deguang was furious, and used this request as an excuse to send troops south to invade the Central Plains. His army soon wiped out the Later Jin Dynasty and established the Great Liao in Kaifeng, establishing himself as emperor. However, the people of the Central Plains did not give in. They organized armed forces one after another to resist the Khitan invaders. Small groups of Liao soldiers were constantly annihilated, which shocked Yelu Deguang and sent out"I didn't expect the Chinese to be so difficult to make"sighed and had to order a retreat.

However, in 947 A.D., forty-five-year-old Yerod Guang fell ill with a fever while evacuating the Central Plains. The Imperial Physician advised him to stay away from women, but he rejected the suggestion and even reprimanded the Imperial Physicians for not being unlearned. He said:"I have a fever, and I need a woman to put out the fire, how can I stay away from women. "Due to excessive indulgence, he vomited blood and died when he walked to Luancheng to kill Hu Lin.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Shulu, who was far away in Shangjing, the capital of Liao, sent a decree:"To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses. "Due to the scorching summer and high temperatures, it was extremely difficult to preserve the corpses. This was very troublesome to the ministers of civil and military affairs who accompanied them.

The Empress Dowager. Just when the ministers of civil and military affairs and the imperial physicians were helpless, an imperial chef came up with an idea: to make the emperor a "target". What exactly is this "target"? Originally, the northern nomads like to eat beef and mutton, sometimes after killing a cow or sheep, they can't eat it for a while, and in summer, the herdsmen will hollow out the internal organs of cattle and sheep, and marinate them with salt, which becomes a "target" that will not rot, which is equivalent to the "bacon" in the Central Plains.

As soon as this idea came out, although it had the intention of treating the emperor as a livestock, in desperation, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the imperial doctors had no choice but to use the method of chefs to make the emperor be"Target"Transported back to Shangjing. Therefore, poor Yerod Guang became the only one in Chinese history"Emperor target"。
