The emperors with the most martyrs in history have countless harem beauties, and Genghis Khan is even worse. There are three general methods of martyrdom: first, the people in front hanged themselves voluntarily and were buried together; One is forced to kill, inject mercury into the brain, and stay young and beautiful forever; The third is to directly and collectively bury relevant personnel or people present.
According to literature speculation, the emperor with the largest number of martyrs in China history was Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. When dealing with his father's funeral, Qin Ershi said: "It is not appropriate for the first emperor to have a son in the harem." It means that concubines who have never given birth in Qin Shihuang's harem can't be released. "None of these women survived in the end, and all of them were executed and buried. Of course, besides women, there are countless other livestock, treasures and maids. There are no exact figures in historical records. Sima Qian passed by the "dead" area with the spring and autumn brushwork. These four words mean that there are many people who died, and the number is huge.
Hu Hai's human sacrifice policy is unprecedented. Since the Han Dynasty, most emperors stopped killing, and often left a will before the emperor died, letting childless concubines leave the palace. Although occasionally emperors are sacrificed by the living, they are not as cruel and vicious as this guy. In the Ming dynasty, human martyrdom revived again and even became a clear-text system.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his grandson asked 46 concubines in the palace to be buried with him according to his suicide note.
By the Yuan Dynasty, that is,1August 227, after Genghis Khan's death, a large number of living people were buried. According to Kyle? According to what Poirot heard, after Genghis Khan died, "on the way to transport the coffin, the escorts should kill all the people they met as martyrs and say to them,' Leave this world and go to the underworld to serve your dead master.' The escorted troops killed nearly two thousand people along the way. In addition to these unfortunate martyrs, there are 40 beautiful women served by Genghis Khan before his death, who were killed and buried alive with the war horse he rode before his death.
It can be seen that the system of murder and burial is vulgar and inferior in feudal dynasties. It is also an oppression of slaves and women in ancient society. The so-called high and low, you can trample on the innocent lives of others at will. And handmaids and slaves are sometimes just a group of living private goods of imperial nobles.
