As a feudal dynasty that continued the state for four hundred years, the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire at the same time were listed as the world's most advanced civilization powers, which had a far-reaching and extensive influence on future generations, and the Huaxia people were gradually called han people since the Han Dynasty, and the status of the Han nationality as the main ethnic group in China has never changed. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and destroyed the Western Han Dynasty, but in only seventeen years, Liu Xiu, a disciple of the Liu clan, unified the world, and the Han Dynasty rose again, although it was the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still the world of the Liu family, and the essence did not change.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty declined, and the forces of different surnames in the world rose one after another, Cao Cao "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and it was the Han Xian Emperor who was held hostage, and after that, sun Quan in the north was unified, and Sun Quan in the south inherited the Foundation of Jiangdong laid by his father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Ce in the chaos of the world, and became a force to be reckoned with at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. I am afraid that no one could have imagined that the person who would share a piece of the pie with them in the future would be the fallen Han Dynasty clan relatives, the orthodox Han Emperor could not save the situation, and Liu Bei, who had already fallen into the business of weaving mats and selling clothes, would actually become a strong person in the future, establish the Shu Han Dynasty, and form a situation of the Three Kingdoms with the Cao Wei regime and the Sun Wu regime.
After the Shu Han dynasty was destroyed by the State of Wei, it was thought that the Han clan relatives would no longer have the opportunity to climb the "historical storm list", but it was expected that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was another Han clan relative, Liu Yu after Liu Jiao, the King of Chuyuan in the Western Han Dynasty, although there was little royal blood left at this time, but the most important thing in ancient state politics was birth, even if a long time had passed, but the identity of the descendants of the Han Chamber could still scare some people. However, Liu Yu went through six emperors and eventually became the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasty Liu Song, which is also a miracle of fate.
Perhaps because of the ancestral bloodline, even if the family moved south with the Jin Dynasty in the early years, the family was poor when he was young, and his mother died early, but Liu Yu still became a person with physical and mental health when he grew up, he was majestic, his temperament was magnificent, he was seven feet and six inches tall, the wind was magical, and he did not care about the small sections of life, such a noble spirit was rare in the ten miles and eight townships, and it seemed that Liu Yu's career would be extraordinary in the future. But at that time, the surrounding villagers would still despise him because of his poverty, which seemed to be the same as Liu Bang at that time. Fortunately, Liu Yu, who has great ambitions, because he is humble, generous, and has an aristocratic demeanor in speech and behavior, he will still be appreciated and valued by like-minded people.
After Liu Yu joined the army, he was able to stand out, repeatedly became a pioneer, fought bravely, and had quite a military talent, so he came to the fore and became a small and small officer, the road was to be taken step by step, and Liu Yu's road to the emperor was even more long and arduous. First encountered Huan Xuan's rebellion, Liu Yu judged the situation, pretended to surrender Huan Xuan, and made military merits for it, gradually gaining Huan Xuan's attention. After Huan Xuan became emperor, he ordered the liquidation of Liu Yu's Beifu forces, liu Yu took the opportunity to contact the remnants of the forces, causing a lot of pressure on Huan Xuan, and eventually completely pulled Huan Xuan down, and later Emperor An of Jin was restored, so he was made the Duke of Yuzhang County by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After Murong Chao of Southern Yan took the throne, he took the initiative to provoke a war, Liu Yu led an army to attack Southern Yan, directly hitting Southern Yan without the strength to counterattack, and was seriously injured, and eventually Murong Chao was captured by the Jin army, and Southern Yan was destroyed. After Liu Yu quelled the rebellion of Liu Yi, he was sent to conquer Shu Land, this person was originally Huan Xuan's subordinate, after Huan Xuan's death, he fled to Shu Land and established the Western Shu regime, and this person was also beaten by Liu Yu without any way to fight back, facing defeat, and hanging himself.
It has to be said that Liu Yu was really an excellent general, with outstanding ability, he was sent to invade Later Qin, most of the places he went were surrendered, did not encounter enemies, at that time Yao Hong and his courtiers tried their best, but also to no avail, simply could not resist the footsteps of the Jin army, and finally the city was destroyed, the last emperor of Later Qin, Yao Hong, surrendered, and Yao Hong was beheaded in the downtown area of Jiankang.
Sima Dezong was the tenth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at this time Liu Yu was already a chancellor in the middle of the dynasty, Liu Yu coveted the throne, taking advantage of the emperor's illness, Liu Yu assigned Wang Shaozhi to kill Emperor An of Jin and make his brother Sima Dewen emperor, that is, Emperor Gong of Jin, but this was only a cover-up, Liu Yu coerced the emperor to make him the King of Song and improve his treatment.
Liu Yu's ambition to become emperor soon broke out, Sima Dewen was forced to give way, Liu Yu took the throne, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell, changing the name of the country to 'Song'' and changing the name of the yuan to Yongchu. Like many founding emperors, Liu Yu was also very ruthless, although Sima Dewen was already a wasted man and had no threat to him, but Sima Dewen still could not avoid the end of death, as long as there was a slight threat, Liu Yu would cut the grass and remove the roots.
The six emperors that Liu Yu killed, let's sum up again--
The first: Huan Xuan of Huan Chu, the second: The Emperor of Western Shu, and the third: Murong Chao of Southern Yan
Fourth: Yao Hong of Later Qin, Fifth: Sima Dezong, Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Sima Dewen, Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty
Liu Yu started with the Northern Fu army, successively destroyed Huan Chu, Western Shu, Southern Yan, and Later Qin, and finally succeeded in usurping the throne, killing the Six Emperors, and also destroying the entire Sima family, perhaps in retribution, his son Liu Yifu was eventually killed by his courtiers, and he also died two years after the usurpation.
With the progress of civilization, people have changed many of the views of their ancestors, and have a lot of wisdom that their predecessors did not have, although we may not be more intelligent than the ancients, but definitely more rational, more fair, and more tolerant than them.
Liu Yu's usurpation of the throne was heinous among the ancients who were deeply influenced by Confucianism, but during his reign, Liu Yu's successive achievements in resisting the dictatorship of the warriors and the powerful, suppressing the merger of the powerful and powerful, implementing the land break, rectifying the rule of officials, reusing the cold door, developing production, lightly dispensing with the poor endowment, abolishing harsh laws, personally listening to lawsuits, and revitalizing education are enough to show that he is a ming emperor throughout the ages. The Ming Dynasty Li Yan spoke highly of him, saying that he was "the prince of chaos and rejuvenation".
It made great contributions to the economic development of Jiangnan and the protection and development of Han culture, and created the most extensive period of the six dynasties of Jiangzuo, laying a solid foundation for the "rule of YuanJia". The Ming Dynasty Li Zhen praised him as "the prince of the Dingchao Dynasty", and also known as the "First Emperor of the Southern Dynasty".
Combining his merits in governing the country and his ability to create a prosperous world in a chaotic world, it is fair to say that Liu Yu is a generation of Ming Emperors and a hero. Later, people also have more and more identification with Liu Yu, speaking of Liu Yu's name, he is also related to Yiwei herbal medicine, in order to commemorate him, people use his nickname to name Yiwei herbal medicine - Liu Jinu. This also shows that the people agree with him in their hearts, so they will use the name of the medicinal herb to commemorate this great monarch.
Mention this name, we may not forget the poem of Xin Zhiyi - the grass tree of the oblique sun, the ordinary alley is strange, and the humane slave once lived. Think of that year, Jinge iron horse, swallowed like a tiger. Liu Jinu here is Liu Yu, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty. It shows that even in a figure like Xin Shuyi, Liu Yu is also a big hero.
