According to the explanation of the Law of Sayings: Gang Yi Zhi Li Yue Wu, Wei Yi Enemy De Yue Wu, Ke Ding Disaster Chaos Yue Wu, Criminals Overcoming Yue Wu, Qua Zhi Duo Poor Wu, the general number of Wu is a very good name, there are many Emperor Wu in history, most of them are emperors with great martial arts, especially the founding emperors who fought in the world, such as Emperor Liu Che of the Han Wu Emperor, Liu Xiu the Guangwu Emperor, Cao Cao of the Wei Wu Emperor, Tuoba Tao of the Taiwu Emperor, and so on.
After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, China's history has entered a chaotic world for hundreds of years, and the dynastic changes have become more frequent, so the emperors who are called Emperor Wu have also emerged, for example, there are four emperors in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and today I will first talk about the seven Wu emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties: more than half of them are not worthy of the name, and only three are truly deserved.
First: Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty
In history, there are several founding emperors who were born at the bottom of the city but could finally lay a large area of jiangshan, such as Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, of course, Liu Yu is also one: Liu Yu has been poor since childhood to chop firewood, cultivate land, fish and sell grass shoes for a living, but the chaotic world has produced heroes, and like most of the heroes in history, He rong gave Liu Yu the opportunity to rise, not to mention that he participated in the Northern Fu Army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Sun En's rebellion was the beginning of Liu Yu's real rise, Liu Yu took the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and gradually grasped the military power of the Northern Prefecture army, and internally attacked huanchu, Western Shu, Lu Xun, Liu Yi, Sima Xiuzhi and other separatist forces to unify the south; the two northern expeditions to the outside world attacked Southern Yan and Later Qin, and restored Luoyang and Chang'an, if it were not for the unexpected death of his confidant Liu Muzhi, Liu Yu was worried that the rear would be in a hurry to return to the south, perhaps he could create a history of unifying the world from south to north, in short, Liu Yu's title of Emperor Wu was absolutely deserved.
Second place: Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of Song
Although Liu Yu established a powerful Liu Song Dynasty, many of his descendants were disrespectful, and the frequent changes of emperors led to abnormal chaos in the imperial government, and he was destroyed by the powerful minister Xiao Daocheng in 59 years.
Liu Song had a total of nine emperors (not counting Liu Zixun), in addition to Liu Yu, Emperor Wen Liu Yilong and Xiaowu Emperor Liu Jun are also worth mentioning, of which Liu Jun is Liu Yilong's third son and also the fifth emperor of Liu Song, during which he carried out a series of political and military reforms, reigning for twelve years is a more effective emperor, militaryly defeated Northern Wei several times, but compared with his grandfather Liu Yu, Xiaowu Emperor Liu Jun, the title of Emperor Wu, is much lower.
Third place: Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu
The Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, Qi Liang, And Chen were the four dynasties, Qi was the dynasty with the lowest sense of existence and the shortest in the state, and unlike the founding emperor of the Song, Liang, and Chen dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Qi Dynasty was the second emperor, Emperor Xiao Zhao of Qiwu (founding emperor Xiao Daocheng, emperor gao), and Xiao Zhao was also the most effective emperor of the Qi Dynasty.
During Xiao Zhao's reign, although the politics were relatively clear, but militarily lackluster, this Wu Emperor was a bit unworthy of his name.
Fourth place: Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu had a legendary life experience, and he had several more significant labels: one was longevity, at the age of 86; the second was to worship the Buddha; the third was a good hand of cards that was broken by himself, but it was a pity; the fourth was starved to death.
The first half of The life of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu was called wise, not bad for Ming Jun, Wen Tao Wuluo was not much worse than Liu Yu, but the second half of his life was sluggish in political affairs, and he indulged in Buddhism, Hou Jing's rebellion led to the wolf into the room and led to his own starvation, the prosperity of Jiangnan was buried in the hands of Hou Jing, and the social and economic destruction was devastated, all of which had nothing to do with Xiao Yan.
Throughout Xiao Yan's life, his courtesy name Emperor Wu did not contain as much gold as Liu Yu, nor did he have as much as Chen Baxian.
Fifth place: Chen Baxian, Emperor Chen Wu
On Wu Luo, Chen Ba was first Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasty second only to Liu Yu: together with Wang Shengquan, he destroyed Hou Jing, who was the bane that had ravaged the Southern Dynasty, and King Chen fought to defeat and kill Wang Shengbao; then he broke Northern Qi, pacified Xiao Bo, and conquered Wang Lin to achieve a series of military victories, and later generations' evaluation of him as "inferior to Song Zu, and Fang Qi's superiority" is very telling, at least his title of Emperor Wu is still deserved.
Sixth place: Qi Wucheng Emperor Gao Zhan
Killing nephews, brothers, occupying imperial concubines, wantonly killing the clan and ministers, private life was chaotic, political and military lackluster, Qi Wucheng Emperor Gao Zhan and Wu this nickname is the most unrelated, is the most unworthy of the name of the Northern and Southern Dynasties Emperor Wu.
Seventh place: Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong
Yuwen Yong was the fourth son of Yuwen Tai and the third emperor of Northern Zhou, and after Yuwen Tai's death, the power fell into the hands of his nephew Yuwen Hu, who was famous in history, because he killed the three emperors of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Jue, the deposed emperor of Western Wei, and Yuwen Yu, the emperor of Northern Zhou, so Yuwen Yong endured for more than ten years before he killed Yuwen Hu and took charge of the government alone.
Yuwen Yong improved the military system and attacked Northern Qi, was a very accomplished emperor, but unfortunately, he fell seriously ill on the way to the Northern Expedition turks in the past few years, and soon died of illness, and three years later Yang Jian usurped the throne to establish the Sui Dynasty, if Yuwen Yong could live for a few more years, it must be him who unified the world!
Among the seven Wu emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the three emperors with the highest gold content were Liu Yu the Song Wu Emperor, Chen Baxian the Qi Wu Emperor, and Yuwen Yong, the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor, of which Liu Yu was the undisputed first, while Emperor Liang Wu was unnamed.
