No need to see it in person, just based on the simple records left by the official history, read it and feel heart-breaking. "Peeling cows, sheep and horses alive, and skinning chickens, guinea fowl and geese alive" was the favorite trick of the dimwitted ruler. Watching the flayed livestock and poultry set on fire, they ran around the empty halls at the top of their lungs until they exhausted their last ounce of strength and died of convulsions. Sheng sat and applauded, intent.
Perhaps it was this sensual stimulation that would bring him psychological satisfaction. What's even more frightening is that he even "skinned people and made them sing and dance". One can only imagine how a group of skinned men singing and dancing in a hall would have been a horrifying scene for Aballah.
The Former Qin was a regime established by the dynastic tribes during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Lakes and the finest period in the history of the tribes. At one point, it was at the top of its game, winning big. It was this once glorious kingdom that saw the emergence of Fu Sheng, a cruel and unique character among its emperors, who almost brought about the kingdom's demise.
Fu Sheng was the third emperor of the former Qin Dynasty, grandson of the founding emperor Fu Hong, and predecessor of Fu Jian, the emperor of Zhao Xuan, who later unified the north. The slain Wang Li is a false story. Indiscriminate killing is the best way to summarize a life of cruelty and tyranny, the solution says.
There was another person who was named "King Li" after his death, who was driven out of Haojing in the "Han Dynasty Rebellion". In my opinion, King Li's use of murder to stop slander and prevent people from talking about his rights and wrongs was more likely motivated by a desire to consolidate his power, and the fact that he killed to maintain the majesty of the king doesn't necessarily mean that he was actually interested in killing. This emperor who took pleasure in killing people and was obsessed with bringing his own tools to do it himself was nothing compared to King Lee.

Let's take a look at the scene of Fu Sheng's visit to the court: according to the "Ziji Tongjian", Fu Sheng, along with the civil and military ministers to the court, must be "bending the bow to show the edge", "hammer and iron pincers chisel, left and right stand". If anyone does not like, copy the guy to say hello. Killing is like a play.
This is not a court meeting. This was clearly a hunting ground or a slaughterhouse. And the methods were so brutal that "many shins were cut, sides were pulled, necks were sawn and fetuses were cut". Soon after he ascended the throne, he killed more than 500 ministers and courtesans. The students are temperamental and think strangely, so no one can guess. You don't know why you're dying.
Once a student hosted a banquet for his ministers, and made Xin Lang, the minister of the Shangshu order, the wine supervisor, the role of greeting everyone who drank. The emperor was merciful, which was supposedly a good thing. As a result, Fu Sheng saw all the people drink a slip, or someone is not drunk. Without saying a word, he bent his bow and shot Xin Jail. That means, how did you persuade him to drink? Why is there still someone standing? Who dares not drink without rivets? So the vassals "dare not not drunk, lose their crown". The scene is a mess, Fu Sheng just happy.
Fu Sheng dreamed at night that the great fish ate the bushes. So he killed the whole family of the Taiji fish, and this fish was also guilty. The left emperor advised Fu Sheng with his courage to "suspend the punishment and pay tribute to virtue", but Fu Sheng "chopped off the top and killed it". If he had chiseled his head, he could have done it.
Because he was addicted to killing his students, it didn't take long for him to "filialize his old relatives and kill them all," making them feel uneasy." The princes had to be insured for a day, say ten years..." Just think of the horror of the time. Dr. Jinguanglu, Niuichi, just couldn't take the pressure of that atmosphere. Last time he asked to be transferred to a local job so he could get away from Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng said is it that you are too small, otherwise why don't you sit in the position of the Imperial Honor? Niu Yi was so frightened that he went home and committed suicide.
When it comes to matters of national importance, it is even more ridiculous. Drinking is the second greatest hobby of students. Drinking day and night often a month without going to court. The lawsuit is also "to drown their sorrows in alcohol". For subordinates, it's worse! When it comes to debauchery, no one can beat you.
According to the record of the year of the Book of Jin, Fu Sheng often "sent courtesans and men naked in front of the temple" to seek excitement. On another occasion, Fu Sheng met a brother and sister on the road and "forcibly molested" them, forcing them to have sex. If they didn't obey, they got angry and were killed. It's worse than animals.
In the face of such a mediocre emperor, the country naturally could not last long. Poor Fu Hong Hero I, the roots of the empire he created soon tended to dry up. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. Drunken Fu Sheng threatened to kill his cousin Fu Jian, and ultimately forced Fu Jian to launch a coup d'état to abolish this rare brutal and dim-witted ruler in history, thus saving the former Qin on the verge of extinction, and creating the myth of a brilliant empire in the history of the Di nation.
