1. Bigan
The most familiar we are with the method of comparison and death is definitely through "Romance of the Gods", and I am very impressed by this paragraph, which is full of fun and imagination. Daji wanted to get rid of Bigan, so he pretended to have a heartache and needed to take the "Seven Exquisite Hearts", and the uncle of the King of Xu, Bigan, happened to have these Seven Exquisite Hearts. So the mediocre king borrowed his heart from his uncle, and after cutting his heart, he used Jiang Ziya's method of saving his life, but he didn't die immediately, but unfortunately he met a woman selling vegetables outside the city, and was killed on the spot by a sentence "Vegetables have no heart to live, people have no heart to live".
Myths, of course, are not credible, let's look at the history books.
Historical Records records: The king of the Shang Dynasty was able to write and martial arts, and was proficient in various skills, but when he was enjoying the world, he indulged in wine, ignored government affairs, and was drunk day and night. Uncle Bigan was very angry about this, knowing that he would offend the king of Zhou, and he didn't care about 3721, he always spoke out, scolding the king to lose face. Once, when the king was in a bad mood, Bigan scolded him again. At this time, the king of Xuan was furious and scolded Bigan, to see whether the saint Bigan's heart was loyal or treacherous, so he ordered the left and right guards to kill Bigan and gouge out his heart.
2, Xun Yao
During the Jin Kingdom, the Xun family, the Han family, the Zhao family, and the Wei family coexisted, among which the Xun family was the most powerful. As the leader of the Xun family, Xun Yao coveted the other three families, and once asked for land from the other three families, but the two great families of Han and Wei were afraid of the Xun family, so they gave up the land.
But Zhao Xiangzi refused. Xun Yao therefore asked Jin Jun to crusade against Zhao Xiangzi, and Jin Jun agreed. Xun Yao, Han Kangzi, and Wei Huanzi joined forces to besiege Zhao Xiangzi's fiefdom of Jinyang (southwest of present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi) and diverted water to irrigate the city.
However, when Jinyang City was about to be submerged, Zhao Xiangzi united with the Han and Wei families **Xun Yao, so the Han and Wei families turned against the water, but instead poured water into the Xun military camp, resulting in Xun Yao's defeat and death. Zhao Xiangzi carved Xun Yao's head with lacquer as the head of drinking. In order to avoid future troubles, the Han, Zhao, and Wei families joined forces to exterminate the Xun clan and divide the Xun clan's fiefdom.
That's why there were only three sub-promotions later, otherwise it should have been four sub-promotions.
3. Shang martingale
Shang Ying, who is familiar to everyone, implemented a series of political, military, economic and cultural reform measures in the Qin state, based on Legalist thought, emphasizing the construction of the legal system, strengthening the monarchy, replacing the rule of etiquette with the rule of law, and developing the feudal economy and military power.
In 338 BC, Qin Xiaogong, who supported the Shang Dynasty's reform, died, and King Yingsi of Qin Hui ascended the throne. Because Shang Ying's changes in the Qin state touched the interests of the nobles, the nobles began to fight back after the new monarch ascended the throne. Later, Xinjun ordered the arrest of Shang Ying, who had tried to flee to Wei during his escape, but Wei refused to allow him to enter the country. Shang Ying was forced to return to Shangyi, and launched an attack on Zheng County, where he was defeated and killed. After Shang Ying's death, his body was brought back to Xianyang, and King Qin Hui ordered the punishment of "car splitting", that is, the body of five horses was divided, and Shang Ying's family was also killed.
It is worth mentioning that Shang Ying contributed several idioms, such as standing up for the letter, being cocooned and self-bound, and self-killing in practice, etc., and he also contributed to the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty.
4, Li Si
Li Si was a famous politician, writer and calligrapher of the Qin Dynasty, who made great contributions to Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms and the establishment of the Qin Dynasty system. However, with the death of Qin Shi Huang and the ascension to power of Qin II, Li Si's fortunes took a huge turn. He conspired with Zhao Gao to tamper with the edict and make Hu Hai emperor. Subsequently, he was framed by Zhao Gao for rebellion.
In 208 B.C., Li Si was sentenced to "five punishments, beheading, and razing the three tribes" for the crime of treason. Gu Wu Punishment is an ancient form of torture that involves tattooing words on the face, cutting off the nose, and flogging. After five executions, he was cut off at the waist, his head cut off and hung on the public, and his bones were chopped into meat sauce and sold in the market.
I don't know if he regretted conspiring with Zhao Gao when he was dying, as the so-called conspiring with the tiger, how could it end well?
5, Peng Yue
Peng Yue was a very loyal general who once made great achievements for Liu Bang. Later, he was arrested by Liu Bang and his wife on charges of rebellion and sentenced to death.
According to historical records, Liu Bang did not directly kill Peng Yue, but sent his entire clan to Sichuan. On the way to distribution, Peng Yue met Empress Lu and cried to Empress Lu about her grievances, hoping that she would intercede with Liu Bang. Who knew that Empress Lu not only did not intercede, but designed Peng Yue's doorman to stand up and falsely accuse Peng Yue of rebellion, which made Liu Bang determined to kill Peng Yue.
It is said that Peng Yue was chopped into meat sauce, which Liu Bang and his wife gave to every prince and king of the time, hoping to intimidate the other princes in this way and warn them not to rebel.
6, Mrs. Qi
Mrs. Qi is Liu Bang's most favored woman, who has been favored for her beauty and talent, and it can also be seen from the portrait that Mrs. Qi's appearance must be closed and embarrassed. After Liu Bang's death, Mrs. Qi no longer had anyone to protect her. Empress Lu was very jealous of Mrs. Qi and took cruel revenge on her.
The method was to inflict "human bi" torture on Mrs. Qi, a type of torture that turned people into animals. The specific process, which includes cutting off limbs and so on, is very cruel and will not be described in detail here. Then throw her into the toilet pothole. It is said that Mrs. Qi groaned in pain in the toilet for several days before she died.
Damn jealousy of women!
7, Yuan Chonghuan
Yuan Chonghuan was a tragic hero, few in Chinese history can get such a polarizing evaluation, and those who praise him consider him a national hero, building the Guanning defense line, building the Guanning iron cavalry, resisting the Manchu invasion, and making immortal achievements; Those who criticize him think that he is a traitor and a thief, who killed the general Mao Wenlong without permission, led the emperor Taiji into the customs, had ill intentions, and was a thief and thief, and his crime should be punished.
In 1630, Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen on charges of "killing the island marshal without permission", "negotiating peace with the Qing Dynasty", and "making enemies in the city". In September, he suffered one of the most cruel punishments in ancient times, Ling Chi. Yuan Chonghuan was cut 3,543 times during the execution until the flesh was cut off and a skeleton remained. During the whole process, Yuan Chenghuan gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word.
14 years later, Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, I don't know if he regretted it, but Yuan Chonghuan didn't die, and Dolgon didn't get into it so easily, that's for sure. Because if that's the case, it won't be Wu Sangui's turn to be the one who is in charge in Liaodong.
8, Shi Dakai
Shi Dakai is very similar to Yuan Chonghuan, and I often compare them together.
After the Tianjing Incident, Shi Dakai fled and led 100,000 Taiping troops to fight in various places, but unfortunately there was no previous undefeated record, and he was defeated again and again, and was finally surrounded by the Qing army in the Dadu River. In order to save the lives of more than 4,000 Taiping soldiers, Shi Dakai was willing to surrender. However, the Qing court did not keep its promise and executed all the Taipings.
At that time, along with Shi Dakai, there were also scholars Zeng Shihe, generals Wei Pucheng, Huang Zaizhong and others who accepted Ling Chi. Zeng Shihe was in pain when he was tortured, twisting in pain and wailing loudly. Shi Dakai scolded him loudly: "Why can't you bear the pain for a while? Zeng Shihe held back.
Shi Dakai himself remained silent until he was out of breath.
9, Han Xin
Empress Lu is really unprecedented, the three people on this list are related to her, this woman's evil mind and ruthless means are chilling.
Han Xin was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, a military strategist, and one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. In his early years, his family was poor and often sent food from others. At the end of Qin, he participated in the anti-Qin struggle and defected to Xiang Yu, and was later recommended by Xiahou Ying to pay homage to Su Duwei, but was not reused. Later, Xiao He promoted Han Xin to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general. Han Xin is the general under Liu Bang who is best at using troops flexibly, and his way of using troops is respected by soldiers of all generations.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was relieved of his military power and became the king of Chu. Later, he was accused of rebellion and demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin. In folklore, Empress Lu set a trap to trick Han Xin into entering the palace, and the palace maids stabbed Han Xin to death with chopsticks.
In the official history, Empress Lu conspired with Xiao He of Xiangguo to trick Han Xin into Changle Palace, beheaded him in the bell room, and razed his three clans.
Han Xin, as an important general during the period of the Chu-Han war, everyone in the world knows that "Han Xin points troops, the more the merrier", but because of his high merits, he finally ended up like this, which makes people sigh.
10, Fang Xiaoru
Fang Xiaoru is my fellow villager in Ningbo, and he is also the only person in history who has been sentenced to the Ten Clans.
After the Battle of Jingyan, the city of Nanjing was broken, and Emperor Jianwen was nowhere to be found, and Zhu Di especially needed a great Confucian like Fang Xiaoru to help him draft an edict to enthrone the throne to appease the hearts of scholars all over the world. And he promised Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, that no matter how angry he was, he would not kill Fang Xiaoru.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru was a hard bone, and in the face of Zhu Di's request, he swore to die. When Zhu Di threatened to exterminate his nine clans, Fang Xiaoru responded fearlessly: "What's the matter with punishing my ten clans!" ”
Zhu Di broke his promise, and the means of disposing of Fang Xiaoru were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He not only wiped out Fang Xiaoru's nine clans, but also added his friends and protégés, a total of ten clans, a total of 873 people. Fang Xiaoru's wife Zheng and two sons Fang Zhongxian and Fang Zhongyu hanged themselves at home, his two daughters jumped into the Qinhuai River and drowned, and his brother Fang Xiaowen died at an early age, but Fang Xiaowen's son was beheaded. Fang Xiaoru's younger brother Fang Xiaoyou was torn apart, and Fang Xiaoru himself was Ling Chi.
This kind of dehumanizing behavior is rare in history.
