If there is no "Ming Jun" in Nanliang, are the monks still eating meat?

In the feudal dynasty, people always hoped to have a wise monarch, and it was best to be thrifty, and then people's lives embarked on a broad road to happiness under the guidance of this king.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Liang Dynasty did produce such a "monarch" who met the standards, but the people's evaluation of this monarch was not friendly. What happened?

A thrifty emperor In 502 AD, Xiao Yan became the founding king of the Liang Dynasty-Liang Wudi. After Xiao Yan proclaimed himself emperor, his performance seems to be the definition of "a good emperor".

For example, his work enthusiasm is very high. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, he always gets up in the fifth watch to correct the paper. He works overtime all the year round without complaining. Sometimes the weather is cold and my hands are frostbitten, but I still can't get off the line of fire and continue to work. He is a good employee of the company now.

Even if you are dedicated, it is even more rare that although you are from a noble family like Lanling Xiao, you are very frugal.

According to historical records, Xiao Yan's "one crown for three years, one quilt for two years" means that Xiao Yan doesn't pay attention to clothes. His clothes and hats have been used for several years, washed and washed, and continue to be used.

Xiao Yan not only dresses simply, but also eats simply. He eats a meal a day, often only ordering soup and beans, and sometimes drinking porridge to satisfy his hunger when he is busy.

Moreover, Xiao Yansheng said that he would not eat public meals, that is to say, even for such a simple meal, the meals were not paid from the state treasury.

He is also a senior Buddhist. He doesn't usually drink, and he doesn't like singing and dancing very much. In a word, everything that ZSZSZSZ showed showed that Xiao Yan was an unprecedented monarch.

Second, the rewards and punishments are unknown. However, if you believe that Xiao Yan is a good emperor, you may be fooled. All of the above is just Xiao Yan's disguise. Let's see how this "good emperor" treats the people.

Xiao Yan severely punished the people, some of whom committed crimes and often sat together. If the criminal escapes, all the family members of the fugitive will be arrested and put into hard labor.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's management of North Korean gentry was very loose. If a gentleman commits a crime, Xiao Yan often doesn't have the heart to punish him. Even if he is criticized and educated, the case will be closed.

In addition to legal unfairness, Xiao Yan also came up with a good way to plunder people's wealth. In 523 AD, Xiao Yan invented a new currency-iron coin, and ordered a total ban on the use of copper coins in the future.

Xiao Yan stipulates that newly issued iron coins and copper coins should be exchanged according to 1: 1, but the value of iron is far lower than that of copper. As a result, businessmen who hoarded a lot of copper coins lost a lot.

Moreover, folk iron is easier to obtain than copper. Some people think it is profitable, so they destroy iron and cast money, and a large amount of iron money floods the market, causing serious inflation.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan gained a lot of wealth by issuing currency and inflation.

Thirdly, the absurd emperor Xiao Yan not only troubled the people, but also worried his officials.

In 527 AD, Xiao Yan went to Tongtai Temple, but he fell in love with it and simply stayed in Tongtai Temple to become a monk.

It is a good thing for an emperor to become a monk. A group of North Korean officials are anxious like ants on hot bricks. Luckily, Xiao Yan was just playing this time. Three days later, Xiao Yan returned to the palace alone.

Perhaps this experience of becoming a monk left a good memory for Xiao Yan. In 529 AD, Xiao Yan once again came to Tongtai Temple to become a monk. This time, the ministers donated 100 million yuan to redeem the "Emperor Bodhisattva".

In 546 AD, ZSZSZSZ became a monk for the third time. This time, ministers spent 200 million yuan to redeem the emperor.

In 547 AD, ZSZSZSZ became a monk for the fourth time, but the court had no choice but to spend another 100 million yuan to redeem Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan couldn't become a monk, but he didn't stop studying Buddhism. He claimed that from the examination in Nirvana Sutra, monks were not allowed to eat meat. Since then, the vegetarian tradition of Han Buddhism for thousands of years has all originated from this clown.

Fourth, the fatuous monarch, however, Xiao Yan, who always worried about the minister, occasionally worried about others. In 505 AD, Liang cut Wei, and let generals like Wei Chui go to war, but let his sixth brother Xiao Hong take the lead.

Liang Jun is well-equipped and well-fed, and Wei Jun dare not confront him. But coach Xiao Hong is a man. One night, it rained heavily, and Xiao Hong was afraid, so she took a few people and fled back to Jiankang.

This can be a pit to death in Liang Jun. The three armed forces fled without a commander in chief, throwing ordnance all over the floor, and nearly 50,000 people were killed in Liang Jun.

News came that Xiao Yan didn't blame Xiao Hong. After all, for ZSZSZSZ, everything that each of us has done is right.

However, wars between Liang and Wei still occur from time to time. Xiao Yan's "fight for the city, kill for the city, fight for the land, kill for the wild" is vividly reflected in the war.

You have to pay it back when you come out to hang out. The famous "Hou Jing Rebellion" broke out in his later years. Xiao Yan was imprisoned by rebels in Jiankangtai City. He wanted to eat honey before he died, but he couldn't eat it. He died of hunger and thirst.
