In the Ming Dynasty, there was an official named Zhao Yongxian. He is very fat. People are fat and fat, and they are particularly resistant to beatings when they are fat. Zhao Yongxian's ass was smashed, but he survived in the end. The first thing Zhao Yongxian did was to let his wife cut off the rotten meat on her ass and "wax it and hide it". Why did Zhao Yongxian do this? What does he want with a piece of air-dried bacon? What else can I do to show off? It is a great honor that Zhao Yongxian was spanked by the emperor, and it is also an honor that can be boasted to his colleagues. What honor can spanking be?
The ministers of the Ming dynasty liked to confront the emperor, and the emperor of the Ming dynasty was not good at it either. If they don't agree, they like to take off their pants and spank them. It's okay in the early Ming Dynasty. Ministers can wear pants when they are beaten, not just pants, but even blankets when they are beaten. Ministers in the late Ming Dynasty were not so lucky. Not only did they have no blankets to cushion them, but even their pants to hide their shame were stripped off. Although the ministers of the Ming dynasty were beaten more and more miserably, they also paid more and more attention to spanking. Many ministers are proud of being spanked by taking off their pants. There are not a few people like Zhao Yongxian, and some people take the initiative to find a spanking. In their view, the emperor did not spank them, but gave them a chance to go down in history.
It is a fool to take the initiative to find the person who was beaten, but if being beaten can make a name in history, then being beaten is also a good deal. Wei Zhi in the Tang Dynasty was famous all over the world because he dared to remonstrate. Emperor Taizong was more civilized. Although he tried to kill Wei Zhi several times, he finally left himself a good reputation for being good at training. The emperors of the Ming dynasty were much more cruel, and they fought if they didn't agree with each other. As long as any minister is beaten by the emperor, his reputation in the folk and officialdom will increase rapidly. Few officials don't want this good reputation.
Therefore, many officials in the Ming Dynasty were a little masochistic. If the emperor didn't fight them, he wouldn't fight them, so he tried his best to anger the emperor and make his ass blossom. Most emperors in the Ming Dynasty were a little tyrannical. Such an emperor met such a minister, so the spanking incident in the Ming court never stopped.
