> His (Hou's) body was then stuffed with salt and delivered to Jiankang. Wang Sengbian cut off the head and delivered it to Xiao Yi and cut off the hands and delivered them to Northern Qi. He then displayed the body publicly, and the public, including Emperor Jianwen's daughter and Hou's one-time wife, the Princess Liyang, quickly cut off Hou's flesh and consumed it.

So...yeah

Interesting that he didn't try to shoot for "General of the Multiverse", just in case.

Ah, the Hou Jing Disturbance....one in a long line of 400 years of civil wars and rebellions.

The entire "Period of Disunity" from the fall of the Han Dynasty to the rise of the Sui is probably the most co fusing but interesting historical periods ever.

TIL Hou Jing, a general during the China's North-South period, seized control of the government of the Liang dynasty by rebelling. After that, in an act of vanity, he gave himself the title of "General of the Universe, Past, Present, and Future, Commander of all Forces in the Six Directions".
