You doubt Jesus Hong Christ?
That’s it, Wing King Shi Dakai Lord of Five Thousand Years is going to escort you out of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Now you won’t ever get to eat grass with the Heavenly King.

If you want a sample of how crazy Chinese history can get look at the Tai Ping rebellion:
- Student fails Civil Servant Exam for the third time and has a mental breakdown
- starts claiming he’s Jesus’ little brother who trained him to fight demons in his dreams
- more dead than WWI

No no no! The true second coming of Christ was Sun Myung Moon!

Pfft, imagine believing Jesus was in Nanjing. He clearly traveled through Siberia to rural Japan where he changed his name to Torai Tora Daitenku, all thanks to his Japanese brother Isukiri who went to Jerusalem to replace Jesus on the cross.

There was also that time a prison guard lost a prisoner during a transfer, and because the punishment for such a crime was death, he released all his prisoners, became their leader, and overthrew the monarchy.

Wasn’t there at least one other time where “failure means death” turned into “guess we might as well just try to take over”?
Time I’m thinking about was when an emperor had summoned some warlords to be there by x date or die and one group realized they weren’t going to make it by the date, so since they had their armies with them anyways, they just pivoted from answering summons to invading/conquering. Not sure that one worked out though.

There’s a few examples throughout history where having an insane punishment for a crime has caused serious problems.

There have probably been a few, but they’re almost certainly all Chinese.
The guy’s name was Liu Bang if you want to read up about it
