In the long history, there have been Ming monarchs, but what is more remembered are those brutal monarchs, in Zhang Nan's eyes, they are a group of mentally abnormal patients.

Everyone feels something wrong with their body or mind to some degree.

The overall quality of life of the emperor group is poor, and the pressure of survival is huge, so the probability of personality abnormalities, psychopaths and even schizophrenia is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Through the records of the "Twenty-Four History", it is not difficult to see that nearly a quarter of the emperor's biographies record manifestations of personality abnormalities, psychopaths, and even schizophrenia.

The sixth emperor of the Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye, was extremely absurd and cruel. He hated the hero Liu Yigong, so he cut off Liu Yigong's limbs, cut open his stomach, picked his eyes, pickled them with honey, and called them "ghost eye dumplings". He founded an exclusive palace brothel, recruited many princesses and princesses, and ordered the left and right fortunate ministers to have a royal feast with them on the spot.

These women are all his elders or sisters, and if they disobey at all, they will be killed immediately without mercy. When he got tired of playing this game, he asked the palace ladies to mate with monkeys, sheep, and horses, and he watched from the sidelines.

He raised his uncle Liu Yu, the king of Xiangdong, naked in the pit, asked him to eat from the wooden trough, and called him the "pig king": "Try to serve rice in the wooden trough, and mix it with omnivorous, dig the ground as a pit, and use muddy water to eat it in the pit naked, so that it can be eaten in the groove with the mouth, and used to enjoy it." ”

These are all recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian".

The former abolished emperor was like this, and the later abolished emperor was even better. After the abolition of the emperor Liu Yu was ferocious and abnormal, he went out to play, and encountered people who stood in the way, whether it was a human or an animal, he ordered his attendants to kill him, which made the capital healthy, and the doors of every household were closed during the day, and the roads were extinct.

He ordered the guards around him to hold needles, hammers, chisels, saws and other torture instruments at any time, and his subordinates were slightly disobedient, so they inflicted torture such as hitting the head, hammering **, and disemboweling the heart.

The illness of Emperor Gao Yang of Northern Qi Wenxuan is pathological passion. He suspected that his favorite concubine Xue had an affair with the minister, so he personally cut off Xue's head and hid it in his arms for the banquet. During the banquet, he took out Xue's head and put it on the plate, and everyone present was shocked.

He asked someone to take Xue's body, dismembered it in public, took out Xue's hip bone, made a pipa, played it, drank wine, cried, sighed, "beautiful women are hard to get again", and was in pain. In the end, he wore his hair and cried to bury the Xue family, using a grand concubine ceremony.

These behaviors undoubtedly cannot be defined as "schizophrenia", and these people suffer from schizophrenia.

Compared with these perverted behaviors, Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, loved to be a beggar, Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, caught mice, slept lazy, and drove the people, the 20 years of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court, the Hongwu Emperor's indiscriminate killing of heroes, the Jiajing Emperor's paranoia, and the Apocalypse Emperor's indulgence in carpenter work are not appalling.

This is still the emperor himself, as for the emperor's harem, the emperor's children, Zhang Nan looks at it from the perspective of a descendant, the emperor is simply the most tragic person in the world.

When a Ming monarch, then you can't abuse your power, you must restrain yourself at all times, abide by your duties, otherwise you will be admonished by loyal ministers, among the emperors of the past dynasties, those who have succeeded in their careers, that is to say, only a small part of them have performed their duties well, and the "holy monarchs" who basically conform to Confucian moral norms are even rarer.

The total number of successful emperors who have been commemorated and admired by later generations is only a dozen, while mediocre lords, faint monarchs, and tyrants abound, accounting for more than 90 percent. If you are a faint gentleman, then you are very cool, but you have left a reputation for the ages, no matter how you look at it, it is not a worthwhile business.

The emperor called himself a widow, but it was not a joke, it was a real loner.

"That's right, I think so too, that's why I pay so much attention to my body, it's just Qingquan that you only see this right thoroughly, and few people will be like you."

Although Zhang Nan didn't know if Li Er believed what he said, for Zhang Nan, he really didn't have any interest in the throne.

"It's just that I don't understand, Qingquan, how can you not be tempted by this right?" Li Er wondered.

Hearing Li Er's doubts, Zhang Nan couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

"Uncle, Lao Li won't be suspicious, he shouldn't be suspicious of me." Zhang Nan immediately thought about it in his heart, after all, if he looked at Lao Li from his point of view.

If he really intends to usurp the throne, or to support a prince to ascend to the throne, then he is definitely capable, after all, he is a man who can take it out at any time and doesn't know what it is.

When Zhang Nan thought of this, he also began to guess why he had been in Datang for so long, and Lao Li also tried his best to win him over instead of killing him at the first time.

After guessing and guessing, Zhang Nan finally only guessed that two were willing.

The first reason is that he is too useful, and Lao Li is a person who loves talents very much, in the eyes of Comrade Lao Li, as long as the talent is higher than the shortcomings, as long as he does not make mistakes of principle, he can be forgiven, so Lao Li has never done anything to him.

The second reason is that Zhang Nan thinks that Lao Li must be inflated, as an extremely narcissistic person, Lao Li naturally thinks that his personality charm is enough to conquer the world's talents, but the Hou Junji incident has taught Lao Li a lesson, so at this special moment, Lao Li asked such a sensitive question as Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan also had to be cautious.

"Your Majesty, what you said, you won't be ambushing more than a dozen sword and axe hands in the dark, if the minister's words are not right, the emperor, you will smash the cup, and then suddenly more than a dozen knife and axe hands will come out and chop the minister into meat puree." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Originally, Zhang Nan was a joke, but he didn't expect Lao Li to hear it, but his face changed, Zhang Nan saw Li Er's appearance, and knew that Comrade Li Er was on guard in his heart, but Zhang Nan naturally wouldn't break it.

After all, Lao Li is the emperor, he doesn't even believe in his father's son in his life, and he is a foreign minister, or a foreign minister who has just come to Datang for a few years, can gain such trust, Zhang Nan feels that it is not easy.

If Lao Li can really believe in this life, I am afraid that there is only the eldest grandson queen alone.

Zhang Nan also felt quite sad that a living person had lived to this extent, after all, he didn't even have a close friend, so it was too desolate.

"Qingquan, what are you talking about, how can the emperor do such a thing?" Empress Changsun saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so she immediately started a round.

Zhang Nan also said with a smile: "Of course the minister knows, the minister just saw that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he just livened up the atmosphere." ”
