The most failed orphan in history: The first emperor of the ancients just died, and 4 orphan ministers directly killed the little emperor
Introduction: There are many incidents of orphanage in history, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei experienced the defeat of the Battle of Yiling, and when time was short, he called Zhuge Liang and Li Yan to the Yong'an Palace to entrust orphans, handed over military power to Li Yan and then handed over the political power to Zhuge Liang, and also let Liu Chan call Zhuge Liang "Xiang Father", hoping that they could assist Liu Chan in restoring the Han Room. Before his death, The Wei Emperor Cao Rui also entrusted the young emperor Cao Fang to Sima Yi and the general Cao Shuang, hoping that the two could assist Cao Shuang in sweeping the world. But later Cao Shuang overthrew Sima Yi and completely controlled the imperial court, and Sima Yi finally waited for an opportunity to launch a coup d'état when Cao Shuang took the emperor out to worship Emperor Wei, easily stealing the Cao Wei regime and making Sima Shi the final winner of the Three Kingdoms period. There was also such a thing in history, the Emperor of the Ancients had just died, but the 4 orphan ministers directly killed the little emperor! What the hell is going on? Let's see for sure.
This incident occurred during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and this ancient emperor was Liu Yu, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was born into a poor family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because his mother died early, his father once wanted to abandon him, but then relatives took him to raise him, so he was called "slave". Because he was born at the bottom, Liu Yu experienced the cold and warm of human feelings at a very young age, and he also knew that self-reliance could live a good life, and when he grew up, he directly joined the army. Because in those war-torn years, a child from a poor peasant background could only take this path if he wanted to get ahead.
With extraordinary perseverance and fierceness, he performed outstanding feats on the battlefield, and was soon promoted to a pro-soldier by a general, then a lieutenant, and finally a general. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time was the largest dynasty in the south, the domestic political chaos at that time was chaotic, and like the dynasties in the north, there were always large and small uprisings within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, otherwise it was a rebellion by generals. But this also provided a good platform for Liu Yu, Liu Yu and his subordinates experienced the Rebellion of the Six Kingdoms, annihilated one after another separatist forces and finally became a vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the whole country obeyed his orders, so he sent people to kill two Eastern Jin Emperors and finally ascended to the throne to establish the Great Song, known as Liu Song.
Liu Yu, who came from the bottom of the family, knew about the suffering of the people, and the conquest for many years also let him know that the most basic reason for the turmoil was that the local power seemed to be too large. He said that after the emperor reformed politics, weakened the power of local generals and strengthened the centralization of power, and then appointed a large number of officials from humble origins but good character to balance the internal relations of the imperial court, constantly encroaching on the northern territory externally, and repeatedly northern expeditions in more than twenty years in power, successfully recovering Luoyang and Chang'an, and making Liu Song the largest country in the southern and northern dynasties. And despite the use of soldiers for many years, the domestic economy is still steadily advancing, and the lives of ordinary people are much better than those of the previous dynasty, for which Liu Yu is also known as the Emperor of the Ages.
Liu Yu was extremely capable but could not defeat the Mandate of Heaven, and was terminally ill at the age of fifty-nine, but the crown prince Liu Yifu was still young. Therefore, Liu Yu personally selected his four most trusted subordinates, namely Sikong Xu Xianzhi, Shangshu servant Fu Liang, the leading general Xie Han, and the protector general Tan Daoji Fuzheng. However, Liu Yifu was not an emperor material, he was like Liu Chan who only ate, drank and had fun all day, so the four auxiliary ministers deposed him as soon as they discussed it, and later killed him in order to prevent future troubles. Liu Yu did not expect that he had arranged it in such detail before he died, but this time, he was the most failed orphan in history, which was really helpless.
Conclusion: In fact, these things are still due to the shortcomings of the imperial era, because the fate of the whole country is tied to one person, if this person is a Ming Jun. But if he were a dimwitted monarch, it would not only be the common people of the world that would be involved, but also those officials who regarded themselves as very high would suffer even more. Instead of choosing a tragic ending that is visible, it is better to desperately win a controllable future. Therefore, the historical usurpation of the throne or various mutinies and coups is also the reason here.
