In the long river of history, there are countless emperors who ascended the throne as a teenager.
There is a 13-year-old king, the first emperor in Chinese history, and the first emperor to achieve "great unification"; There is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who inherited the throne at the age of 16, strengthened the centralization of power internally, fought against the Xiongnu externally, and strengthened the exchanges between the Han nation and ethnic minorities.
There are often young emperors, and there are only twelve out of ten excellent young emperors.
In the history of Japan, there is a tyrannical and ** king who ascended to the throne at a young age, and his character is far from being comparable to the above-mentioned emperors.
This monarch is one of the most famous tyrants in Japanese history, Emperor Takelie.
The young emperor was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, only one year older than Emperor Kangxi, but compared to Emperor Kangxi's reign of 61 years, Emperor Wulie only ruled for nine years, and ended his short life at the age of eighteen.
Although he was not in power for a long time, the sins he committed during these nine years can be said to be more than those of the Shang king, which is really jaw-dropping.
Later generations will always have a certain subjective color when evaluating the predecessors, such as Cao Cao, some people say that he is a chaotic minister and thief, and some people say that he is a hero in troubled times. But the evaluation of Emperor Takelie is surprisingly unanimous.
Historical critics all think that he is a ruthless person who disregards ethics and morality.
What did he do that was contrary to common sense to make future generations evaluate him in this way?
Emperor Takelie was the 25th emperor of Japan, and he was born in Kyoto in 489 AD. He was the sixth son of the previous emperor, Emperor Ninken, and his mother rose to prominence because she gave birth to a son.
In feudal society, there was a clear distinction between the eldest and the youngest, and under this inheritance system, Emperor Takelie had no possibility of inheriting the throne. But fate may have hoped for him to become the heir to the throne, but he failed to live up to fate's favor for him.
Since ancient times, people have had a great thirst for power, and people have flocked to it.
Especially in the royal family, the pursuit of power is obvious to all, in order to sit on the supreme throne, the children of the royal family fight with each other, they only have interests in their hearts, no brotherhood.
The sons of Emperor Renxian were no exception, and they fought fiercely for the seizure of power, which was basically as fierce as the nine sons of Kangxi.
But people are not as good as heaven, and none of the five elder brothers of Emperor Takelie survived this war for the throne, and the ending can be said to be extremely tragic.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.
With the other heirs all deceased, the youngest Emperor Takeru became the only candidate for the throne.
No matter which prince Emperor Ninken preferred to inherit the throne, in the end, only the young Emperor Takelie was left to choose the throne, and in desperation, Emperor Ninken made the young him the heir to the throne.
The fact that he was made the crown prince was not entirely a good thing for the young Emperor Takere, and it brought him great glory as well as personal safety problems.
The road to the emperor has never been smooth sailing, and the rest of Wu Lie's brothers will not stop there, watching him slowly expand their strength.
Such a cruel living environment made Wu Lie live cautiously since he was a child, for fear that he would die if he didn't pay attention.
He has never experienced the warmth of family affection, and all that fills his mind is to live, go to the highest place, and then let the person who hurt him pay the most painful price.
And Emperor Takereo's father, Emperor Ninken, is far from the word "Ningen" in his name, and he also did all the bad things during his reign.
A series of bad things such as robbing people's daughters, extravagant style, and oppression of people are also easy to do, and in his point of view, the royal power he represents is right, and all his desires should be satisfied.
During his childhood, Emperor Takelie had a full view of his father's actions, and in his eyes his father was his "role model and role model."
In addition, the living environment of his childhood was very harsh, which distorted his three views and personality to the greatest extent, making him lack normal warmth in his mind, and his style can only be said to be "blue out of blue and better than blue".
He has lived in this environment since he was a child, and the only person who has given him childhood warmth is his mother, which also leads to some deformed emotional sustenance for his mother.
As the saying goes: "Seven or eight years old dogs are suspicious".
Seven or eight years old should be the most carefree age for a child, and simple, kind, and cute have almost become synonymous with this age.
But Wu Lie had an extremely vicious heart in this shell when it should have been the most innocent and beautiful time.
When he was young, he fell in love with the daughter of a minister at first sight, and he wanted to be with this girl, but the girl already had a heart, and only regarded him as a child, and did not have the heart to exceed the rules.
But Wu Lie did not achieve his goal, he buried the matter deep in his heart, and when he grasped the imperial power, he launched a fierce revenge.
In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he took very cruel measures to ** the girl and her sweetheart, in line with the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and did not let go of the girl and her sweetheart's family, and the blood flowed like a river in an instant.
But this is just the beginning, he has made a decision that is even more difficult for ordinary people to understand.
After he ascended the throne at the age of nine, he forcibly married his mother, Aunt Kasuga, as his queen, which caused an uproar at the time, and the ministers dissuaded him to no avail, and he was determined to turn his only biological mother who had given him warmth into his own queen.
In the face of the strong opposition of the ministers, he also had his own unique way of solving the problem.
He changed his mother's name to Kasuga Niangko. tried to cover his ears and steal the bell, and in this way changed the fact that he married the queen as his mother.
In any era, it was an appalling thing for a child to marry his own mother, but it was not a heinous crime in Japan at the time.
Obviously, this incident is not only contrary to human ethics and criticized by future generations, but also really difficult for normal people to accept, such a ridiculous thing actually exists!
There is a myth in Japan that when the gods first created human beings, they created only two siblings, a man and a woman, who fell in love and multiplied, and the children they gave birth to were combined to create a whole nation.
It is not surprising that Japan does not yet have a systematic understanding of ethical and moral aspects.
If it is a perverse mistake to turn his mother into a wife, then what he does next is enough to make him be sent to hell and never be reborn.
According to the record in the Japanese history books: "In the autumn and September of the second year of Wu Lie, he took the womb of a pregnant woman and watched her fetus. In the second autumn of Emperor Takere's ascension to the throne, he ordered his subordinates to open the belly of a pregnant woman and remove the fetus because he was curious about the growth of the fetus.
This poor pregnant woman was met by Emperor Takelie when he was out on a certain outing, and he looked at the pregnant woman's belly and wondered, is there really a living life inside? He touched the pregnant woman's belly and was very curious.
At this time, the pregnant woman did not realize that this harmless child standing in front of her was a complete demon.
Emperor Takelie touched the belly of a pregnant woman with his hand, imagining that he was once in his mother's belly.
Suddenly, a small fetal movement caught his attention, and he greeted the little fetus through his belly, and got a response from the little fetus, and he was very curious about what the little guy who greeted him looked like.
After returning to the palace, he was curious about how the child grew up in the womb, so he began his journey of "demon" research.
Instead of consulting professionals, he chose to "see is believing".
He ordered his subordinates to find pregnant women of different months of pregnancy, and ordered them to open their bellies and take out the children of different months for observation, so as to satisfy his excessive curiosity.
The palace was filled with heart-rending cries and begs for mercy, but Emperor Takelie turned a blind eye to the tragic scene and the cries of begging for mercy that filled his ears.
He has been high since he was a child, and when ordinary people are struggling to survive, he already has the supreme imperial power, he does not understand the suffering of the people, and he has no empathy at all.
In his world, there is only what he doesn't want, and there is nothing he can't get, and his desire has buried countless lives under the loess.
When Emperor Takelie came to inspect the territory, he found a farmer digging sweet potatoes in the field, and his curiosity was ignited once again. He questioned whether he used his hands or his fingernails to dig sweet potatoes, and if there was a problem, of course, he had to solve it as soon as possible.
In the spirit that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", he once again began his journey of observation and experimentation.
He ordered the farmer's fingernails to be removed, and then told him to continue digging sweet potatoes in the field without giving him a stop from bleeding and protective gear.
This kind of torture is too cruel even for the most heinous bad guys, let alone on innocent farmers, not to mention that he finds it very interesting.
Emperor Wulie's ** behavior caused many farmers to suffer unjustified disasters, and they hid in the mountains one after another in order to escape this cruel and inhumane punishment.
The farmers would rather face the ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and old forests than face the inhuman Emperor Takery.
After the game of nail pulling could no longer arouse his interest, he soon had a new idea, and he transferred the realization from human nails to human hair.
He searched for some innocent and poor people, ordered them to kneel on the ground, and had their hair plucked out one by one.
When one of them had finished his torture, he took them into the woods and ordered them to climb to the top of the tree, and then he ordered his men to cut down the tree.
The people who were forced to climb to the top of the tree had no way to escape, and the sound of the axe cutting the tree below reached their ears one by one, and they were tortured both physically and mentally, and finally they could only fall down with the tree, and the flesh and blood of the smashed were blurred.
Occasionally, a few people survived and were killed by him in other ways.
Killing people will make this demon happy.
Compared with the above three crimes, there is an even more unacceptable cruel activity - "mermaid catching activities".
The 13-year-old Emperor Takelie became obsessed with fishing by chance, and although the people in the palace avoided it, as the ruler of a country, it was too dangerous for him to go into the water to fish, and the safety of Emperor Takelie was the first priority in everything, so Emperor Takelie's fishing activities were unanimously rejected.
But he is a "bear" child who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and he can't tolerate others to stop what he is interested in.
Emperor Takelie built a special palace in the suburbs of Japan, with a huge fish pond for many species of fish to enjoy, and he even raised "mermaids" in the fish pond.
This "mermaid" is completely different from the mermaid we are familiar with, he has the palace maid guard pretend to be a fish, sink to the bottom of the pond, and hold a sharp harpoon in his hand, playing the role of a mature fisherman.
As long as there is a "mermaid" floating on the top of the fish pond to ventilate, he holds a harpoon and keeps stabbing at the palace maids and guards who play the role of "mermaid" in the fish pond.
The blood smeared in the clear water and gradually merged with the reflection of the maple trees next to the fish pond. Emperor Wulie, who was armed with a harpoon, was already red-eyed and couldn't stop at all.
He stabbed the harpoon in his hand into the living flesh like crazy, not allowing any "mermaid" to be lucky enough to escape this time.
Armed with a bow and arrow, he would shoot the palace maids who had climbed ashore and fled one by one, until there was nothing left of the entire fishpond except for him.
The wicked have their own harvest", perhaps even the heavens were not angry with his despicable cruelty, and finally died when he was eighteen years old.
There are different opinions about the cause of his death, and some people think that it is because of indulgence ** The body can't bear it; Some people thought that the people around him couldn't stand his cruelty and secretly poisoned him; There are also historical records that he died in an accident.
But the truth is no longer verifiable, and he finally ends his despicable life and hangs himself on the wall.
The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived.
As the king of a country, he should love his people, cultivate his own virtues, restrain his behavior, seek welfare for the people, and seek development for the country.
But Emperor Wulie did the opposite, treating human life as a mustard, and basing his happiness on the lives of innocent people, how hateful!
From the time we croak, the time we babble to the time we leave this world, we should all have good intentions towards this world.
No matter where you stand, you can always maintain your original intention and not be invaded by external objects, and you must know that the purest flowers can bloom in the sludge.
